"My US visa interview didn’t even last up to 2 mins, infact not up to 1 min. The CO actually rejected the Nigerian guy before me & others on the queue became hesitant to go to her counter but I did.

US visa interview: Reactions trail man's experience

Legit.ng has compiled some reactions to the man's US visa interview experience below:

@Odins_Asgard said:

"Twice I had a US visa and never used it. The 3rd time I applied, the interview was centred on why I didn't use the previous 2 visas. I told the interviewer the US was too far from my location (Malaysia), but since I was moving to Europe, I might use it. Got it the 3rd time."

"Sometimes it is not luck, it is absolutely not supernatural. It is opportunity meeting preparedness. I have a friend that failed his visa interview because he couldn't do simple multiplication(8x) and he was going for an engineering course. The Russian woman had to fail him."

@dondemo09 said:

"They use heat signatures to see how tensed everyone is before u approach them. The less you are, the cooler u are .. and straight faced. The better. lol .. just joking."

@EmConceptX said:

"How person fit enta this Yankee gangan I get one white lady there but she say Trump don tighten things for migrants., which other way person fit enta self? World cup route nkor? Or which other level?"

@Big_Br0_ said:

"Fear rejected itself. You walked up like you already had the visa. Sometimes that’s all it takes, confidence, not a script."

@TohPahz said:

"Mine was similar, asked what I do and when I plan on going. Then he looked through the computer, collected passport and told me when to expect delivery. I don't think it's based on luck sha. They screen you before you arrive."
