School: Youngstown State University
Program: English Language and Literature
Graduate Teaching Assistantship

VO: Have you travelled outside Nigeria before?

Me: Yes, I have visited South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Senegal and Ghana to attend conferences to learn about current educational trend

VO: I can see you are going to Youngstown State Uni…. I cut in

Me: University to pursue my master's program in English language and literature, where I will be focusing on literature and composition. The program is 24months and 36 credit hours of coursework, and I will be taking classes in language, literature, creative writing... VO cut in

VO: Your post-study plan?

Me: After my 2 years master's program, I will be returning to Nigeria to take over the activities of my school, and I will immediately be applying the skill sets acquired from this program to establish an English writing centre that enables the student to think more deeply about effective writing and improve their writing skills, and I will also be collaborating with other Nigerians writers towards developing a model that will help solve the problem faced by the young writing prospects. And I also have plans to expand my school to other communities and states with the target of improving English language skills and other administrative subjects.

VO: Everything looks good. Take this sheet it will guide you on how to pick your passport. Enjoy your stay.

Me: Thank you sir

Hi Mr. Lawal, I intend to go for the same course. Please can we link up on WhatsApp?

On the cgi portal of someone who had a delay, it is showing , your passport is still with the US embassy. What could be wrong. In addition, she is planning to reapply

It’s an error from the portal. Just ignore it and schedule a new date. You don’t have any issues

Your request to schedule an appointment has been received and will be reviewed. You will receive an email once your request is approved.

I saw some dates last week for feb2024. but currently, I am receiving this notification.
Who knows why and how long it takes to get the email response?
Can I keep trying or just wait that is if trying will prolong the wait?

Thanks for your anticipated response.

Please can anyone help out?

Was she denied or delayed?
Is her passport truly with the embassy? If yes, then she has to wait or send an email to them via : support@ustraveldocs.com
Usually when no response ( not denied, not accepted) was given to you during your interview, and they took your passport it means it's under "administrative processing" they're going through your information and they'll definitely get back to you.

Hello guys,

Any help you can give is really appreciated.

Hello everyone, if someone defers admission from fall to spring, will a new admission letter be issued? If the SEVIS payment is not more than a year hope no issue. Again can circumstances change regarding funding?

I'll like to connect with you please, I'm going for the same program and I want to ask you some questions. I've sent you a mail

Visa denied(2nd attempt)
First attempt was for spring admission but a different school
COA:~30k

Scholarship:~12k
Program: MPH
School: LSUS
Deficit: to be paid by me
Location: US consulate office in one of the middle east country(where I work, same consulate as the first but not same VO. Although I saw the VO that denied before, and I even had wanted he be the one to interview me)

VO: I can see you were denied...
Me: yes sir I was denied xyz, I made some mistake while filling the DS 160 form, also my passport was less than 6month(I applied for the passport renewal in our of the Nigerian embassy in the middle east country but has not gotten the new passport). I got accepted in another school with funding and the school aligns better...(VO cuts in)
NB previous school's COA was over 40k with no fundings, but the school has higher ranking

VO: pass me you I-20( I passed it to him and wanted to also give him my SOA but he was not interested in that one)
VO: where is the admission letter
Me: (never knew they would ask for it and also did not receive any official admission letter from the school) the school did not send me any admission letter, my communication with them where via both email confirming my admission offer and through their website

VO: how long have you been in this country
Me: about 1yr 11m, working with...(VO cuts in)
VO: are you married
Me: no sir but I started the process during my last vacation in Nigeria and will hopefully be completing the process after my program or before that if possible
VO: (starred at him computer for about a minute as if reading something and a bit worried) sorry you are not eligible for the visa you applied for(hands me my passport and denial letter)
Me: please what is the possible reason for my denial
VO: we do not tell people why they are denied.

On back of the paper, the alien(3rd country applicant stuff) immigration law was stated, some like aliens(foreigners working in another country) are seen as immigrants until they can prove otherwise to the satisfaction of the consulate officer...
I think one of the major issues I had was applying from another country and not having enough home ties/proving so(eg same question of how long you have been in XYZ country and are you married were asked in first attempt).


My observations in the consulate office:
It is very easy to get appointment dates(eg one can see appointment dates within 3days of intended interview date,...)

Most citizens are granted visas(F1, tourist, etc) without much questions while noncitizens are refused more with more questioning.

I am currently thinking if I should forget about the school stuff, settle down first before reapplying, defer the admission or reapply from Nigeria(I do not think it is wise to reapply from the country as it does not provide enough ties, I maybe wrong though)

My questions are:
1. If I decide to reapply ASAP, is it possible to apply from Nigeria while still leaving and working outside Nigeria?(if possible, how can I go about it especially in filling DS 160 form, the section of home/mailing address, employment details, referee, etc. Also, how possible is it to get date(program starts in 3rd week of August) before then and do I create another email with ustraveldocs.com?

2. Has any one use the services of a visa consultant like argovisa, etc. I am considering using one but do not know if it is worth it especially considering the cost?

Please holistic advice from gurus here would be greatly appreciated.

Please do we need to do transcript evaluation to do MBA in US?

Reapply jare.
Don't give up! Don't listen to voices that tell you why you won't make it.

Make sure you address the issue that got you denied.

My EA was denied. The emergency request section is still available on my profile.

Does that mean I can apply again?

Just got a date in July now. Dates are open in July

This is amazing....you could try. But if you want to retry, you could address the reason for the previous denial.

Please Lagos or Abuja?
