Good morning house, I have a question please.
Moshkom, Ummzayd or any helping individual
What's the possibility of starting a visa process in July and seeing dates plus getting approval for an August/September start date?
I am still waiting on funding decisions which might come in Late June. It's possible if you keep up with regular searching for dates 1 Like |

chibertha:
there are a lot of jobs you can do legally during summer,
some are on campus
some off campus (these might need you to register as a course as an internship to get it approved so that you can do 40hrs and overtime if need be NOTE thats if your course is eligible for CPT only)
After 40hrs, can overtime be added to CPT? |

F1 Visa Approved.
Venue : Abuja.
Date: 23rd May , 2022.
Course: Corporate law,Commercial law and trade.
School: University of _______.
Funding: $33,000.
Deficit: 21,824.
My interview was just God showing his mercy and presence. I was very tensed prior to the interview. When I was in the queue, what was going through my mind was "I cannot travel all the way from my state to Abuja to collect coloured paper and go back". Whenever I see an interviewee coming out with a Green paper(rejected). My heart will start palpitating vehemently. I started singing 'Too faithful by Moses Bliss' to calm my mind. I was almost taken to the white man in window 9 who basically was in the business of denying people Visa before window 11 became free. (A beautiful American lady)
VO: Good morning. Pass me your documents (Whilst looking at me directly).
Me: Good morning. (Trying to sound confident and calm while passing the documents).
VO: Have you left Nigeria before?
Me: No ma, I haven't had a reason to leave Nigeria.
VO: (Conducts biometrics for me).
VO: What will this course do for you?
Me: Yes, I ...(rampages through my brain to get the answer). Asides the fact that I intend to establish my own corporate law firm in future and also have my master's degree in the course, I am currently working in the law firm of _____ at _____ , and the law firm intends to establish another corporate branch at ___ for which I have been singled out amongst others to head the department (She nods), therefore, I require and need every existing knowledge available in order for me to weather the challenges of the corporate world.
Having a master's degree will also at a geometric rate enhance my Curriculum vitae.
VO: There will be a promotion right?
Me: Sorry, I didn't hear you.
VO: promotion right? After the masters ?
Me: oh yes of course! Will be promoted to a Senior associate. (she smiles and nods)
VO: I went to this university, I am also a lawyer(points at my university on my I-20 and I know a brilliant professor there. (My tension reduced immediately and I tried to strike a conversation, "what's his name ma?". She says she doesn't remember but the prof doesn't work there anymore".
Vo: So I can see you have a funding of $33,000 , who will cover the rest?
Me: My uncle Mr.______,
VO: what does he do?
Me: He is into ____ and ____ and ____.
VO: okay I will be granting your visa, take this white paper which will serve as a etc. (didn't hear the rest).
(I took the white paper and smiled my way out through my face masks, from the building).
Tips:
-Get a good course in a good university that matches your degree.
-Prepare well! Believe your answers.
- Be confident while answering your questions, what did I say? Be confident, be almost loud , but not loud, i.e speak out! Soro soke o! If not, they might deny you with that bedroom voice you came with.
-Finally, pray very well! You may sing to calm your nerves.

Moshkom:
Oh! Sorry for the denial bro.
I won’t lie, You failed in preparation. I doubt you did proper mock(s) before the interview.
You really have to act up towards your next application.
Maybe;
- Change school to one with low Cost of Attendance.
Check out TRUMAN STATE UNI, they automatically gives 10k to international students and their COA is ‘just’ 28k. Minus the 10k, your sponsor would now have ‘just’ 18k to cover has deficit
- Do proper prep talks, mock and know-how before you next visa interview, with someone that is more knowledgeable in this field.
- Your Parent should be your best sponsor in the Undergraduate path. If they can’t in this ‘primary level’ of yours, then try to convince the VO why your uncle is taking their position.
PS: In MOSHKOM’s words “Dem no dey rush go embassy oh”.
Because this one you are already calculating your SEVIS payment expiring date against your next possible interview date ehn, calm down oh.
- Don’t forget NOT to apply to COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
- Don’t forget to apply at the right age range.
Good luck Young Champ!!! Pls bros if you can say a little more on the age range thing, thanks |

Lagos
Bachelor degree
Coa: $23,699
No funding: (haven’t been decided yet till May ending according to DSO of the school)
school: EIU
Vo : do your thumbprint
Vo : you are going for your bachelor degree right
Me : yes bachelor degree in political science
Vo : why this school
Me : I chose this school because it’s cheap and very affordable for my sponsor and she cut in
Vo : 49$ is not cheap!
Me: No ma my COA is just $23k+ ( but due to the SOA I send to get my i20 after they calculated the money with there rate is was equivalent to $49k so they input it like that so the family fund was $49k as indicated on my I20 I think that is why she said it’s not cheap) she check and quickly confirm and nodded.
Vo : who is spending a lot on you
Me : my brother he has been supporting me since when I want for my diploma course and he is ready and welling to support me
Vo : what does he do.
Me : he is a politician (I mute for a while immediately I wanted to say he Former deputy she cut in and ask
Vo : what will you do with the course
Me : I will come come to Nigeria to continue work at my place of work but in higher position. I can be transferred to state secretariat or federal and I will start my political ambition by joining political party.
Vo : type and type and type like 5min self and eventually she said you aren’t qualified for this and brought out the blue pepper.
Please guys at @moshkom and at every other gurus in this house just advise me pls and I will appreciate this is my 3 attempt and I am 25. Should I try again or I should just go back and complete my hnd and apply for masters or I should try once again ?
Secondly my sevis fee will expire on July eventually if I apply and get date lets say by August (aug 22 is my program start date ) hope I will still be able to use the sevis fee or I will have to pay for another sevis fee again.
Politician is not what he does. you could have mentioned that he’s the former deputy of … and that he’s currently… You don’t choose a school because it’s cheap, that should be the secondary reason not primary. You need to come up with a convincing reasons like funding, research coursework and all that. Go back and try again if you can. But draft out a better transcript that sells you as an ambitious student who knows what going to America for Political Spence means to him. You can only use sevis within one year, otherwise you pay a new one 4 Likes |

Sorry about the denial. The VO probably think you have the same plan as your brother. I assume the suspicion is that you want to go to America and get married to have a green card. You need to have a good strategy to convince the VO that you're different from your brother. Good luck next time. official4000:
Went for my visa interview in Lagos,
VO: Good morning..
Me: Good Morning
VO: Where are u going to?
Me: I'm going to South's Plains College Levelland Lubbock Texas to get an associate degree in business administration there....(VO cuts in)
VO: Have u traveled out before:
Me: yes, back in 2014 I went on a family trip to London with my family...
VO: Do u have any relatives in London...
Me: Yes, my mom's sister,my aunt...
VO: How old are u?

Me: Marriage
VO: What is ur brother's wife's name?
Me: (says name)
VO: How long has he been married for?
Me: 2 to 3 years...I'm not all too sure about the exact number of years...
VO: Do they have kids?
Me:No, not yet anyways....
VO: I'm sorry I'll have to deny ur visa...
Me: Is this denial related to information about my brother?
VO: check the letter ....PS: I know already what is there .
Me: Did anything go wrong during the interview...I'd like to know to make corrections when I reapply...
VO: I'm sorry I knows it frustrating, check the letter... I'll have to call the next person now...
Me: leaves in utmost shock and surprise
On the letter the reason for denial is Section 214(b) of immigration and nationality act.
My elder brother got married there after going in with an F-1 visa back in 2015. Does this mean all members of my family will be unable to get a US visa for this reason, majority of my family lives back home and I wasn’t asked about them but got denied due to ‘lack of home ties’ I just felt it was unfair I didn’t get a chance to actually talk about myself or what my degree will do for me. What can I do before reapplying?

Asking for someone. For those who got denied within the past two months, how are you able to schedule another appointment? Is it through the regular option or the previously denied. His profile still shows your passport is still with the embassy since his interview. Could this be the reason why there's no appointments date on his profile. What's best way to go about it.
NB: his denial was due to misappropriation of information on its DS-160 form. Some vital information wasnt fill ( educational qualification) |

I fully understand how you feel. This issue of "family history" is a very flawed criteria used by the US embassy in adjudicating visas, because to be fair, how should having a brother or a relative affect your personal ambition and goals especially after going through the stress of gaining admission and considering the financial resources spent on the application process. It's only logical that if the embassy has an issue with a relative in the US on how they got their papers and all, they should pass the mete on who violated the law and not on an innocent applicant. I empathize with you, moving forward, I'll advice you to reapply. You know what you're going to do; when filling your next DS160 where it's stated "what has changed in your application". Use that box to explain your situation explicitly, I mean you're only 17 and should not be the one making decisions for you brother that chose to get married after his F1. State clearly, all you know about him (if possible speak with him and let him know what transpired) but still emphasize on why you really need this academic progression and your ambition to study in the US. Giving reasons why you will come back to Nigeria. Talk about the problem you will solve with this degree when you return to Nigeria, the agency you would aspire to work when you return to Nigeria. Your dreams are valid! All the best. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

You are applying for an Associate Degree too. I have severally read on this page that they consider Bachelors Degree. I believe that’s the issue not your brother. Many of the Gurus here have stated that once it’s an associate degree, most VO believe you don’t want to come back. Please anyone can correct me if I’m wrong |
