In a TikTok video, Lawlahray said she just wanted to go for a vacation in the United States which was why she applied for the visa.
She said when she was a student, she did not want to apply because she was afraid she might not get it.
However, Lawlahray said she now has a job and wanted to go take a tour of the USA only for her application to be denied.
She said her USA visa application was denied on the basis that she did not have enough ties at home. She argued that it was not everyone applying for a US visa that had plans to run.
Lawlahray suggested that the US Embassy should return an applicant's money if the visa application is denied.
According to her, she spent £180 (N334,000) in the application process and still did not get the visa.
She said:
"The US Embassy should be refunding us money. Because I cannot imagine the stress right now."

Types of US visa to apply for
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the administration of President Donald Trump of the Republic Party stepped up the deportation of illegal immigrants in the United States of America (USA).
This has made life difficult for undocumented immigrants who are living in the US as they stand the risk of being deported.
It is therefore imperative that future immigrants to the USA should know what types of visas they can use to enter the US legally.
