I am not an expert but i think even if f1 is denied the b1b2 will still be valid..... also with good travel history it does help your chances of f1 visa .

If she has been going in and out of US with her B1/B2 visa, the two major reasons she will be denied F1 visa will be if she doesn't state good reason for her going to US to study and also for violating the US immigration rules and regulation in her last visits to US.

Hello everyone! From the veterans like ojap, dot1, walspring, imperiouxx, GboyegaD to the newbies . how Una dey? Can see there is decorum on the thread. Think it usually happen when the fall admission is near.
Anyway the good news is that buhari's economic team don finish dis country with dia mediocrity as regards managing d economy. Wish VO can close eye give all of us visa to America.

We are all doing great and blessed...

cheers!!

Bros ur questions will still make alot more meaning without the "bold" statements, they are not necessary at all. I think all you have is funds and a good travelling history, you lack the zeal and a prime objective for an advance degree. you're lucky i am not the consular officer, i will deny your student visa and cancel ur B1/B2!

Let's give thanks to God that you are not the consular officer.

This is far from good...

Guys, for a total expenses of $25k and the sponsor being your uncle who bears same surname. How much should be in the sponsor balance account.

Thanks

awe2015:


Don't really what you mean by a quick safety check, cos i have used it to send money to Nigeria about 3 times.

okay sir

sehawale:
Thanks for your time!

sehawale i was just kidding...nothing serious.
i was denied student visa in 2012 but had my B1/B2 visa intact! All visa categories are totally exclusive. however, they might stamp a cancel on an expired visa. My expired C1 visa was cancelled when i tried to get another visiting visa. So you should be fine.
With ur profile u clearly have the advantage so take ur chance, atm you are stumped by two issues;
oil price is still in the low, O&G job prospects are still slim at best.(am sure you have friends who have lost their jobs)
The savings you have set aside (if in naira) dwindles as recession continues and dollar strengthens.
make hay while sun shines
wish you all d best
sorry abt my jab, no hard feelings.

Bros, you harsh oo! sho!

Abeg make I drop in greet all my big bosses here, I hail o na this mountain no allow us see that mountain. BTW my respect for imperiouxx just quadrupled for managing to come in here all this years while juggling GA and academics, I hail Lagosismyhome and Oludare(Na wa for you BTW). This one wey all Nigerian banks don almost end $$$ transaction wetin be the way out and how do we get money from home? MG & WU exists only on paper right now.

Congrats to all those who got their Visas, coming here does not automatically solve your problems infact it creates new ones but they are problemsyou will rather have.

brightify:
if you have a phone that as front camera,just login back to the form with your phone,and look for where there's white background, maybe your house or inside your house,snap the picture there and crop it,is gonna work that way,that's how I did mine.

Thanks bro.

Mayflowa:

I just did the WES payment for you. Hope you got notification email? Goodluck mate!

Yep, thanks. Hope you got my alert too.

I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear. It wasn't to you I sent a mail but to the US embassy. They no even reply me .

Walspring:


I am bro. I replied your pm sir

Okay, okay.. Now don't get angry.. don't. You're too pretty for that. Yeah. That's why I also noted that I am not using my Nigerian passport and the country who's passport I am using needs to pay a reciprocity fee. What I need to know now is do the US consulates in Nigeria accept third-country national application...? God help me.

LagosismyHome:


I told you i was not angry ooo but you still insist that i MUST be angry by force. ....

On this topic On google Reciprocity Fee exist but this is not applicable to Nigerians so i really dont know...

I'm sorry but you're not quite right... First, I'm using you guys help. Second I don't know where to get these agents. Thirdly,I hate agents. Am I maimed in any way ? Why would I GI to someone to fill documents for me...?

Walspring:


I am sure your agent told you that... maybe i am wrong

I knew this.. I was worried about the address because it's my friend's who paid for me in US ...Would this be a problem at the interview? Also, so you mean I can pay for visa this week and fill ds160 next week.. That's fantastic.
Dude,I love you...

Sorry, I like you. I forgot you're a guy,I still got the African mentality.

Walspring:


If you had read through previous pages and parts you will see the answers to your questions

Anyway your address will show on the sevis receipt and it will be the address you filled when filling the form i901 payment form.

You pay both sevis and visa fee at your own convenient time, anyone you want to pay first or last but you can fill ds160 before or after pay visa and sevis fee.

Its a must for you to pay visa fee to pick date for your interview

Hello,

I got this message from my preferred supervisor. What do you guys think about the message. Find below the message;

@Lagosismyhome @happyday @Walspring

Thanks.If you are interested in working with me, I would advise that you apply to the program through the Mathematics and Statistics Department and make clear that you wish to work with me on biostatistics/infectious disease methodology.

 I cannot, of course, promise you a position in my group. This is partly because it is not my decision alone – the Department makes the final decision about whether entry to a program is allowed or not — and also I would have to offer positions to the best applications that come in. However, your CV/background does look impressive and I could certainly see you fitting in with my group.In terms of potential projects, there are numerous things you could work on. For example, I have projects involving infectious disease modelling, implementing computational algorithms for fitting these models to data. I also have a project looking at using similar models to model fire spread.

 Alternatively, there will likely be chances to analyse data sets using high-level, but less computational, statistical techniques. for example, using statistical/machine learning tools such as random forests.

 It's hard to predict what the project would actually look like since research probably wouldn't start for 18 months from now given that as an MSc student you would be doing courses for the first two semesters. Most of my students I give a choice of possible projects near the time, and let them choose. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

This is a very impressive reply filled with hope. You need to apply fast. Oyibos are not easily direct like this as he has did

@Lagosishome i PM you

fatanu:
@Lagosishome i PM you

Ok.. getting ready for work and taking kids to school . ..will reply later today

Airich01:
I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear. It wasn't to you I sent a mail but to the US embassy. They no even reply me .

Which email address do you send it to ?

Try and use your interview appointment portal to send it by clicking of provide feedback

Sure they do because i have seen some Nigerians here who applied from another country but its always good to apply directly from you country because that will give you home ties but if you have permit in the country that you are applying from, it another form of home ties

Don't be worried about address because the address you filled when filling coupon payment form is what will reflect on the receipt and also location of paymnt won't be a problem because they knew that you can't pay from Nigeria

Yes you can pay for visa fee anytime but pay early if you want to go for interview early

Congrats and the best is for you to act fast by doing what the prof asked you to do so that you can the department make final decision to admit you into the program

Nothing to add na . ....his suggestion is self explanatory so u better grab it fast while giving it your best all the way.....all the best

Good morning everyone. Let's say I applied to 4 schools, already have 3 admits and waiting for the final one, can I go ahead and pay the SEVIS fee? If the 4th one gives me a mouth watering offer, is it possible to transfer the SEVIS fee to that school BEFORE appearing at the embassy?

fatanu:
Guys, for a total expenses of $25k and the sponsor being your uncle who bears same surname. How much should be in the sponsor balance account.

Thanks

Please note, this is for embassy purpose. I dont want to carry statement that will raise eyebrow either too much or too small

CC Lagosismyhome

CC Lagosismyhome

it is not you who determine whether you want to carry or not .... Everyone is expected to carry a statement but in most cases it is not asked or looked out . However it is vital you take one because what if you are the few minority that is asked ... Then would you say u dont have one because of raised eyebrows .

So get the bank statement and if not a parent letter of sponsorship ready in case it is asked

Use the official Dollar-Naira exchange rate and factor in about 25% over the amount. Basically, that's like (25k x 325NGN x 1.25).

Yes it is possible. I did exact same thing with no hassles. On the US immigration website, FAQ section, you'll be advised on an email address to send your request to stating the initial SEVIS ID and the new one, amongst other things. You'll also state the reason why you are transferring. You will also attach your initial payment confirmation.

Like 14M+ should be ok then.... thanks
