Have you paid your visa fee? Have you submitted your DS-160 form?

@Bigfrancis, I have paid my Visa fee and I have Filled my DS 160 form yesterday and I Submitted it.

And I printed out the application and confirmation page after submitting it.

I hope this is Not a problem because I submitted it too early and I have not even gotten a date yet for appointment

And also, Just incase I want to make corrections and adjustment to my application can this still be possible?

Thnx bro

No. Its not a problem submitting too early. My cousin submitted hers early, 2 weeks to her interview at Lagos and got hers.

If in case you want to make corrections, what you'll do is simply create, fill and submit another DS-160. Then visit your visa booking page, login in, then use the update button and change your DS-160 application code to the new one. The new one is what they'll now use to interview you, not the former one.

Actually, the Abuja VOs tend to be more relaxed than Lagos VOs because they don't tend to experience the huge constant swathe of visa applicants that Lagos receives daily. Because of this, they tend to give you more time to explain your case.

However, student interview is unique to each person. The same dreaded Chinese (Chinko) lady known to be very stingy with visas granted some members here their visa. My cousin going to TSU first went to Abuja for her interview and met this same man you met who denied her. She then applied again to the Lagos embassy solely because she didn't want to reapply to the Abuja embassy again only to meet the same man, and this time she got her visa. Imperiouxx was denied at Abuja only to go to Lagos and got granted.

Its left for you to choose which place you want to go. I'd suggest you go to Lagos this time but whichever embassy your mind tells you to go, go there.

Since you have no choice, go with faith. Cos, I think it's late now to embark on Fall University admission. This house has said this several times that college is not a good option. That does not mean I have not seen people granted VISA through college admission.

Go with faith.

If your faith can't take this, wait till Spring for University admission. Spring is just less than 7months..God forbid, if you are denied now, next time you are appearing at the embassy, you have to be able to prove beyond this planet why you switch from College to University..The VO like consistency.

I guess what push guys for college is requirements.Sometimes tuition. I'll advise guys to do thorough search for Universities with low requirements for B.Sc admission. After stepping in, a transfer can be done to college.

fidelia.john:
Please house, I need your help. My sponsor bears a yoruba and a muslim name and my parent's name is not close to a yoruba name on the DS-160 form and the name is stated on the I-20 and as my Uncle. Please wat will I call the tie between us.

Fidelia, this is simple. Who is an uncle?

According to Wikipedia: Uncle (from Latin: avunculus "little grandfather", the diminutive of avus "grandfather"wink is a family relationship or kinship, between a person and his or her parent's brother, parent's brother-in-law or parent's cousin.

Another simple definition: An uncle is the brother of your mother or father. He can also be the man who marries your mother or father's sister.

That is
a.The brother of one's mother or father.
b.The husband of one's aunt.

Analysis: Your dad is an Igbo chukwudi Uzor, he has a sister who is Felicia Uzor (ur aunt). His sister married a yoruba man, Olukayode Arivisayo.

Olukayode Arivisayo is ur uncle.

The VO know all these facts, so they don't ask such question.

I hear you can take it at the embassy - though might be a lil expensive (1500 - 2000). otherwise, just walk into any good photo studio and tell them you want to take a 2' X 2' passport using a white background. most of dem know it as the DV lottery passport.

This is the part4 of this thread. Kindly study this thread from part1 and you will get all the basic information in detail.But, in summary;

first of all, I won't discourage you that 3rd class can't get admission cos one of my friends got admission with 2.41 but he's going to do many prequisite course (4 undergrads). These 4 undergrads courses will extend his stay for one more semester. 2.41 is 2.2 but very close to third class..Your transcript will be converted to American format. So, sometimes 2.1/2.2/3rd class does not matter but the CGPA does.

Write toefl
Write GRE/GMAT
Search for four low-end universities. Applying to four schools will brighten your chances of getting admission.
Fill your application online.
Send all required documents (basically transcripts)
If you are admitted, get ur I-20 by sending bank statement to the school.
Go for VISA interview.

thanks

Thnx bro for the suggestion.

I don't think 2" by 2" is the Right Size..

Because when I printed out my Confirmation page yesterday after I filled my online DS 160 form,

It was written that I should bring a 5cm by 5cm paspport photograpgh for the Interview..

I like your request.."those who got their VISAs"..lol...Why are you not requesting from those that were denied..Well, Passport photograph shouldn't be a big deal. Just know the standard recommended by US embassy and take it anywhere.

I could sense fear. Pls, don't be afraid and take ur interview lightly (not with levity).

Sorry brother...Share your experience and let the whole house analyse.

After the analysis, d house will suggest if you should try again or wait till Spring. For example, if you are denied base on financial standing, wait till Spring cos VO does not believe that a miracle would have happened on your financial standing between now and may be next month you are trying again. So, it may result in another denial. But, if you are denied base on minor stuffs or it wasn't just your day, go again.

We are waiting for your post.

You can according to Biggy BUT i will advice to always have atleast 1 or 2m Excess. Because that was what i thought but it did not work for me when the VO ask if my sponsor is married and i said yes. i actually red her hands on the keyboard as she was typing but immediately i said Yes he is married she begin to backspace what she wrote before and re-type that was when i knew something is wrong. she feels my sponsor will have a responsibility so while will he spend all he has to sponsor me. what about his wife?.

Alright, i get your plight now. Thanks hun
