Thank God I have deferred mine till spring and I was just being told now that my documents for spring will be resend soon so I have enough time to get a better date as God wants it and time to fully prepare .

God be with you guys going for your visa tomorrow. You will surely get it.

Then I was not ready, and also the Vo complained about my choosing school midwestern state university. Please answer my above questions

Hi guys,
Please if there's any fall applicant who still doesn't have an interview date, its as simple as ABC. Nobody can buy a date for you or get date from heaven. Just schedule any appointment you see even if its december, state you case on the emergency request link, type the name of your school, sevis number, expected arrival date in a letter explaining your situation. And PLEASE attach you i20.
My friend just went through a terrible experience in the hands of one idiot she met on nairaland called lekoso. Lekan ROSIJI. He's email is lekoso56@yahoo.com. Please be very careful. All this guy that book dates don't do anything special. Its something you can do yourself. He refused to give my friend the password of the primary email address he used to open an account for her. Her payment was stuck on the page and anytime my friend scheduled an appointment, he will go bk and cancel it jst because she pulled out of the agreement after 9 days of no whow.

Infact dear friends, don't meet anyone on nairaland. My friends dad warned her seriously but she didn't listen. D annoyin thing is dat this guy couldn't have used her payment for anything but he jst wanted to scatter her plans. Her dad threaten Lekan with police. Pls you guys be very careful. If u need any help with the link, just post your questions here. I did everything by myself and now my friend called the help lines and dey had d whole application changed for her and her payment moved to another link. They evern appoved her request for an expedited appointment and she was given d same 8th of August that I got. PLEASe don't give anyone ur password to that schedule your appointment link.they will keep posting you and won't do anything but waste your chances of leaving this fall. As long as you are a student and u send that email, you MUST get a date b4 d date stated on your i20. Sorry for the long epistle guys. I am jst very passionate about this coz this was direct first hand experience coz I was dere wen everything went down.

Please let's note this experience. The guys selling date are not doing anything extra. What they do is to monitor the portal for changes should there be anybody that drops his or her date which anyone can do. Late last year (Dec to be precise) some of the spring applicants do monitor and post if they see an opening. Also note that the US embassy has preference for students and people seeking medical attention, hence the reason for expedited interview.

Midwestern state university, texas? whats wrong with that school? is the school too high for black ppl most especially nigerians to go or something? pls don't be an ignorant cos i wonder why you find it hard to explain what was reason you got denied in 09 & my advice for you is to try to amend that specific part where u got denied earlier and don't leave for the embassy without original transcript just like u ask & i don't hv much more to say since i can't get more from u.

He said there is issue with your school that is all he said and also further said am sorry we cant give you visa that i should come back again with different school, what i know is that the school registrar is a Nigerian and he has a direct agent in Kaduna, his name is Olumide, so all Nigerian 1-20 will pass through Olumide, he is the one that do distribute it, i realize all this after am been denied, but it seems the school is strong now because before giving I-20 out you must pay off your first year fees to guarantee you are ready , My Advise to that guy with 10M, he should have choosed a school that collect upfront tuition fees and deposit it, i think with that he will be 50/50 chance to get the VISA,

Hello,, @Tosinville, Please i need an advice, I have a B.sc in economics from OAU, and Nysc Certificate from 2008/2009, and a computer certificate for a 6months programm in 2010 and also a certificate of peace analysis course with .USIP.ORG, i have gotten my i-20 from california state university , Eastbay, for economics masters, So what i need is, would the VO be angry or ask why i dont have a working experience?, And also do you have any likely questions that i might asked concerning economics, And i also have also got admitted again to Western michigan state university, Does this increase my chances of getting a visa i mean been admitted into 2universities and my other certificates too,

This is for everybody here who has something tangible to contribute, cos my interview date is AUG, 25th and my school resumes sept 21st,

thanks

@adolite why are you talking like this. I would think you are trying to scam people by advising them to apply to a school just because the registrar is a nigerian. and you dont know for sure thats the reason you where denied initially. The US embassy has warned that prospective students should not pay upfront. Please dont get swindled by all this scammers. read through this thread and you will get informed. @adolite, make sure you have read through this thread b4 u reapply to another school and for another visa.

@Kentro, I don't think there is anything to fear of because you have no working experience. You can claim that the reason is that you would want to attain your academic dreams before you start working. I may know you since you served 2008/2009 though my set finished 2006 thus we served 2007/2008. Anyways, I am going to UNT, Texas also for a Masters in Economics. As for likely question for economics student, I would suggest you familiarize yourself with the basic theories of micro and macroeconomics. We all will succeed!

@abats4naija,

you are getting this guy wrong. He said then he was told the school had issue which he later realized that the school has some connection with naija guys( the registrar and the agent).

@adolite,

where i disagree with you is students paying upfront is 50/50 chance. Actually, it is 0/0 chance. This is not UK schools. US embassy is not upfront freaked like UK embassy

@ayanfe,

It true, you said well. I wonder why people don't like do it yourself. To schedule expedited date, you first go through the normal route then ask for the E.D. It should be granted unless the person has once denied.

@kentro,

You are good to go man. Working exp or not, you have some academic documents that covered your not working for the time being.

@ Ayanfe even if you've been denied once they can still give you an expedited date, this has happened to me twice, one secret to getting an E.D is continue sending them mails, i sent them mails sote them call me say them don here say make i no send any more mails.so them come give me the E.D but i couldn't meet up with my resumption date anymore then.so keep on trying God go let you get am and keep on praying God will definitely lat you get it in JESUS NAME.

KidUrban. Did you read this chat at all? I Don't have date issues.

@ Ayanfe sorry about that. I hope the post is useful to whomever is confused about getting an eexpedited appointment.

Thanks man for replying kentro201 on my behalf.

Hi guys, my i've been away for a while cos i've been hustling hard. my interview is on the 7th of August and I have a question i'd like to ask.

1. I have a full ride, to a LAC I'm only expected to contribute $1000 out of $55,000. However my pops bank statement is less than that amount cos he frankly uses company account more. So i intend to carry both company bank statement and his personal account statement. the statement in his company account is about 900,000 (i am not from a rich family). Does anyone sense any red flag here? I have the complete company docs( memat and cert. of incorporation to show that my dad is the owner of the company).

Please I appreciate your answers

What is the total amount to have on both statements? Do u mean all d money you need to pay is 1000$? If so, den a 90000 naira atstement is more than enough. If it an undergrad degree, you have to be able to show that if u loose ur scholarship or funding, you will be able to pay subsequent years. I think you are good to go. May God see you through. All dis atatement self, u might be one of the lucky few who won't be asked for statement, Just pray. Where is nellywho?

I would suggest you talk to an uncle or close family friend who has about N5million so that you can put same in your dad's account and leave it there until some days to your interview and print same out. Do not give the VO any reason whatsoever to deny you.

@nnamdistan,

Do as you are told. Don't let that goodie of $54,000 waste ooo. Ask yourself this first, Incase I'm unable to meet up to renew my scholarship, how will I get to finance myself? So, you have to show V.O you are capable even without that scholarship. Still, know that that scholarship place you on a favorable side with the V.O. Guy, I just dey jealous that your goodie too much.

Hello y'all. Just to tell you i got my visa today at the Lagos consulate. Even though i have been bounced twice at Abj in Jan and Feb this year respectively but i never give up. I thank everyone for there posts and comment here. It really helps. Keep the nairaland spirit going and hope to see y'all in the Nairaland party in the U.S, lol. One love

Shewhy

Hey mate I know quite a number of people who have attended LACs and have very high financial aid. All things being equal they rarely asked for their bank statement. But if they do then it would be at the discretion of the officer to decide if what you provide is sufficient. Company accounts though can be a red flag because the officer might not ask you those company docs and remember that student interviews are very short and you might not have time to explain yourself.

Good luck though- I doubt you really have anything to worry about

Congrats shewhy!!! Is it me or most of the people who go for their inteviews close to resumption date get their visa? Shewhy post your experience ooo so that people can learn! What about nellywho? I bet he's too busy organizing his ticket!
