herrlicher:
Got a mail today but not really happy. It read thus:


Your case is still under review; this type of processing can sometimes involve several different sections and can take several months or longer. The unit completing the administrative processing does not always have full control of the timing involved.

We understand your concerns and will contact you when we are able to proceed. We appreciate your patience as we undergo this process.

Sincerely,

wissy47:

I Have added you on whatsapp you can modify your post and remove the number

Walspring:


I sent this in the email about the offer and I wonder why everyone keep asking me again about instruction on payment after they sent me details needed and inside that included how to send payment as well.

Anyway I will check to see if you are part of those i haven't send to

F1 VISA APPLICATION DENIED

VO: Ok. What's your highest educational degree?
ME: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science
VO: When did you complete your BSc
Me: Last year 2016
VO: What I do not understand is how you completed your degree in two years.
ME: *confused* Actually Computer Science is a 3years program in the Republic of Benin
VO: But it states you were here 2014
Me: Yes but I resumed Feb 2014 that's 3years ( honest

LagosismyHome:


Sorry about your delay

If you resumed in Feb 2014 and graduated in 2016 that is 2 years and not 3 years ..

etudiant:
.

Thank you

Let me break it down now!

Thanks for reading through and helping.

Thank you

Let me break it down now!

I explained to my Undergrad school I couldn't wait for September Intake. Undergrad school gave me an option to start from 2nd semester Feb 2014 provided I do my first semester during Summer which I did. So I did 3 semesters in 2014 (Feb 2014, Summer Semester and Sep 2014) , did two semesters in 2015 ( Feb 2015 and Sep 2015) Did my final semester in 2016 ( Feb 2016 [ Final Year 2nd Semester] )

Total of 6 semesters for 3years Program.

On my Transcript, it's stated 2013/2014 session

Year of Entry: 2013 (General Year of Entry for 2013/2014 session even if I didn't start 2013 Sep First semester and was in Nigeria at that time which the Embassy is fully aware)

QUESTION:
1. I understand the easy mixup.. what do I do?
School Year of Entry for all 2013/2014 students is 2013. I started 2014 and made up for first semester during Summer (which is used for students with Carry-overs and Late resumptions like me)

2.What else do you think might have been the problem looking at my transcript?

Thanks for reading through and helping.

chinemomah2020:


Laughhh .. don't ever think you know all because you DON'T my white female friend, an American citizen who lives in Augusta Georgia was denied Nigerian visa the first time she applied for visiting and she cried because of Nigerian visa though she was coming for business but fortunately she was granted the second time. so don't be too sure of your self dude and incase you don't know American citizens also get visa denial.

F1 VISA APPLICATION DENIED AUG 23 2017

TRANSCRIPT BELOW PLEASE ANALYSE AND ADVISE

PROFILE:
Applied for F1 Visa Undergraduate level 2013 December and 2014 January ( BOTH DENIED)


VO: Good morning, can you pass your Passport?
Me: Yes sure. (passed my passport containing my I-20 and Sevis )
VO: What are you going for?
Me: I am going for my Masters in Business Administration with a concentration in Public Management
VO: Where is this school you applied to? (staring at my I-20 intensely)
Me: Shepherd University is in Shepherdstown West Virginia ( discovered later on my way home that it's Martinsburg WV which is the location of the graduate studies that's written on my I-20)
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
ME: I researched on few schools and once I made my decision I applied to Shepherd University
VO: (Cuts in) How many schools did you apply to?
Me: 1
VO: Did you write GRE or GMAT
Me: No, it was not required for admission in Shepherd University
VO: So why do you want to Study MBA?
Me: As a Computer Scientist and an aspiring entrepreneur, I believe acquiring a standard business education is essential prior to kick starting my entrepreneurial career. MBA will help me understand the intricacies of Business and also expose me to Business models and Successful business practices which I can utilize in my entrepreneurial career.
VO: Ok. What's your highest educational degree?
ME: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science
VO: When did you complete your BSc
Me: Last year 2016
VO: What I do not understand is how you completed your degree in two years.
ME: *confused* Actually Computer Science is a 3years program in the Republic of Benin
VO: But it states you were here 2014
Me: Yes but I resumed Feb 2014 that's 3years ( honest but still confused myself at that point)
VO: So why Shepherd University?
Me: Well it has an amazing resource that's just established called Center for Regional Innovation. This gives a physical space that offers office amenities to support Internship and Research. With this students can now do their internships on campus with companies off campus without having the need to commute and also attend classes easily. Students will also be imbibed in the culture of collaborative learning and creative inspiration. All these factors made Shepherd University a perfect fit for my entrepreneurial goal.

VO types for a while..like she's been doing all through the interview.. possibly taking notes of our conversation..this point my mind was blank.. didn't know what to expect.

VO: thank you for you interest bla bla bla (you know the rest of the sad lines)
Me: Sighed in disappointment again...

Hit by Tricycle at Ikeja..just smiled in thanksgiving that I didn't break a leg (lol no pun intended)

TWoods:


Shepherd university in West Virginia. Lol if I say you're not a serious student now, all these post hunters will start talking. The poor VOs.

TWoods:


This is a largely unserious response - an exercising in fishing. At no point did the post you quote indicate that I know all things. I don't even know what I'm having for dinner tonight. Frankly, what exactly was your point? Stick to the point of the thread...

LagosismyHome:


In english terms it still 2 years..... it appears to be an accelerated program but you completed it in 2 years not 3

Also bsc less than 4 years done in 2 years self... hummm. Doesn't speak well of the program

DeeTus:
It was some years ago. Please read well and stop hating.

One problem with some of you are when you read something you don't literally understand what the poster is talking about and cannot ask questions before you conclude.

This person travelled to Europe before I was born and his visa was stamped. They were all told to line up. At that time Nigeria were so good that a lot of people didn't want to travel abroad.

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
truth is, Most American schools (the ok ones) require 4 year bachelor degrees(They are very strict with this rule) , that is why they always give a caveat about Indian school on their admissions page, since they award 3 year bachelor degrees. It would be very hard to convince anyone with a less than 4 year undergrad degree.

Bandeco:

Hating? What /who? For what reason? Are you confused or just poor judgment on your part.

Austrians became USA visa exempt in 1991 and I guess that to you is "some years ago"? If you have been born then, how old were you.?

You goofed when you say, your uncle has Austrian passport "some years ago" and was craving for American visa.

Finally i don't get the relevance of the bolded to the issue raise. Take some water and chill.

etudiant:



Thank you once again

4 months per semester


I am aware that BSc in Nigeria is based on the USA Education model and it takes 4years to complete. However, the education system in the Republic of Benin is based on the British model which takes three years to complete. I don't think because it's three years should take the credibility of the program.
