Correct me if I am wrong but student visa the kid needs comes from the United States Government. I do not know what kind authorization he needs from the Nigerian Government, other than the paperwork he apparently has already completed.Originally posted by Snapshot9
Therefore, the "mix-up" yesterday would appear to be related to our own Embassy.Comment

"Isn't going through the US Embassy an alternative plan than the original way of going through the Nigerian government.

NO. If an entry Visa is required by the country of entry, it must be obtained at the Embassy of that country prior to entry -- always.
If an exit Visa or permission is required by your native country as well, it will be part of the required documentation for a U.S. entry Visa and must be obtained first.Comment

That must mean everything is in order with the Nigerian government if Orukpe is applying for the student Visa at our US Embassy, which would be encouraging. So, then after our Embassy approves him for a student visa, we could actually have some progress, and maybe get him over here.
BTW, it's about a quarter to 5 pm over there now.Comment

That makes it sound like the real hold ups are over. If EO is the type of kid we think he is, I don't know why the US would keep him from coming over.In the fast laneComment

Department of Homeland Security.Originally posted by tropicalshox
I think that is what DoubleJayAlum has alluded to as being a big part of the red tape. I doubt DHS cares one bit why EO wants to come here. That he wants to come here is the only thing they care about.
All these new departments, regulations and "security" acts have been positively wonderful, don't you think? <Sigh> . . . I digress.Comment

China "participates" in Yao Mings income, so it would not surprise me, if Nigeria has some kind of required participation agreement too.Originally posted by MaggieComment

I have a friend from Africa (not Nigeria) ; he is here on a visa also. He states Nigeria is the single toughest country to get a VISA from due to the government there and post 911 scrutiny........Department of Homeland Security.

He says many Africans that are from Nigeria get dual citizenship with another African Country as then they can get the VISA through another less-scrutinized nation. he says , that it's taken this long would be no surprise to him....

wow, I am just stunned. I sure thought we would know something by now. It's almost 10:00 PM there and we don't know where EO is at.Comment
