Feexo: Ojap, Imperiouxx and everybody, I am in a very difficult situation and I need advice from everyone. I applied to a school as a graduate student in political science- I plan to lecture ultimately- and I got my visa. My mom was meant to sponsor me but she died in an auto crash last December. I had been speaking with a professor who indicated an interest in us working together on- International Peace-Keeping and Conflict Resolution in sub-Saharan Africa. I could not qualify for funding because I was 1.8 point short of the threshold. However, he said I would be considered for GA in my second semester if I maintain a GP of 3.0, and 'if' there were funds left. But, he was emphatic on my getting a GA in my second year. The school accepts a payment plan, and I am thinking of raising some money from some of my friends- I have less than $2k as I am typing this- to complete the first semester, and see how it pans out. The Beautiful People of this thread have said it all. Sir, in whatever you choose to do, stay strong. |

siegfried99: Your OND+HND transcripts, required test scores(GMAT, TOEFL, GRE etc), letters of recommendation, statement of purpose etc. A minute number of schools here in the US accept OND+HND. OND+HND = 2+2 years each and is regarded as a 4-year equivalent to B.sc. Two schools that accept OND+HND are Wichita State University Kansas and Stony Brook University New York. 2 Likes |

;DHello house! It's been quite encouraging reading from the experience of different interviewee at the embassy. I, however, would like to ask if it is possible to go to the embassy with a different bank statement from the one that was filled on the DS-160 online form? It's the same surname (last name) but different first names. Is there a need to contact them at the embassy first? Thank you for your anticipated kind response ;DHello house!

Hello Folks, I have never contributed to any blog before however i have read quite a few and would like to contribute/help based on my own personal experience or the various myths out there about VO (and how they are perceived as demi gods). It is important to note that their ultimate function is to help (which means if your denied or approved, the vo gets paid hence there is no vested interest in denying you) My personal experience stems from the following so if any of the statements highlighted below applies to you, i might be able to help answer some of your questions. NB. I AM NOT A VISA OFFICER NOR AM I REQUESTING ANY KIND OF PAYMENT FOR ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED HERE 1. if you have ever been rejected a us visa and want to apply again (visa denied) 2. if you have had an I-130 visa petition submitted on your behalf and want to apply for a us visa (visiting) (visa approved) 3. if you have had an I-130 visa approved and you want to apply for a us visa (visiting) (visa approved) 4. if you have had an i-130 visa approved and want to apply for an F1 student visa (visa approved) essentially all four statements apply to me and while i cant explain all in details without specific questions due to time and energy, i will touch on my most recent application (f1 visa) I am a strong advocate of honesty as that has always been the case with all my applications. For the record i was denied a us visa in 2000/2001 and the reason the vo gave as i recall was that my father had sufficient funds for us not to return (i applied together with my 3 siblings at the same time and the vo approved only 1 visa for my sister and denied the rest of us boys), not exactly sure which year now and i never applied for a us visa again till 2011 when i had a conference (OTC) Jumping forward a bit to my recent application The VO did not ask for any of my documents, GRE, certificate, sponsorship documents etc Transcript of the Interview Me: Good Morning Vo: Good Morning Vo:why did you choose .....uni Me: offered best return on investment for grad study Vo: you already have a postgraduate degree, so why another Me: its a process to a phd as my original postgraduate was a 1yr program which was not being considered favorably by my intended schools in the usa vo: who is sponsoring you me: my brother vo: what does he do and where does he work me: he is an engr with ...... company vo: who filed an I-130 petition for you and whats the status me: my father back in 2011 and it was approved in 2013, waiting for a priority date on that (in retrospect i would not have said that, guess it was nerves) vo: who sponsored your initial postgraduate me: my father vo: thanks, your visa has been approved, pick it up on monday preferrably and make sure you travel with your student visa and not your visiting visa (i have a current 2yr visiting visa on my passport) me: thanks, have a good day entire interview was about 5mins though it felt like 15 PS: the 4 cases i mentioned above have all occurred to me and i believe the statements are self explanatory however, please ask whatever questions that require clarification and i would do my best to answer. regards and best of luck to everyone 1 Like |

oghenegano: In my opinion and based on banking laws (within and outside nigeria) as far as i know, I dont think a bank can release your details or your parents without certain governamental or law enforcements provisions. In other words, i dont think a vo can simply pick the phone or log into a portal to verify your account details (especially on a Saturday as noted but not that the day of the week matters). That being said, i think they are trained to note inconsistencies in current/debit transactions as well as revenue streams to the said account and hence reason he probably discussed with other colleagues. The fact it took so long to decide could be a plus as it looks like it could have gone either way.... I would suggest you perfect whatever issues might have been raised to you by the vo regarding the account details and reapply.....I believe for student visas, you can reapply after 7days and might not have to differ to spring however you could also differ to spring which gives you more time to sort the issues on the account with your folks. 1 Like |
