lentywilly: One VO at counter 7, the only guy there denies visa as if he is Obama.
I don't know why men are that hardened.

The chinko guy?

bigfrancis21:

No. He can't use the option again since he's already been denied visa before within the last 6 months.

Okay...so he needs to get a new start date within this August and head back in? Or defer?

Just called my school now, they said they'll send me a mail to defer my admission, then send a new I-20 on time probably October. S☺ that I can apply for new Visa application. That classes are commencing next week.
The best option is spring 2014.
Everything happens for a reason.
Every disappointment is a blessing.... Was really imagining how I would have been deported in the USA.
Menh!!! I'm happy to hear the news.
To The House cheers... You guys have been like a brother to Me, nice and wordy advices coming from left to right.... May God make you guys bigger but bigfrancis is big already s☺ may God make him larger #lol#

Is the verification from the schools done via email/postmail? Is it either/or thing? I see UNN verifies via email which makes it faster,dunno about other schools.Wanna evaluate my transcript speedily and store it once and for all at WES. I don tire for this transcript wahala,my face is becoming too regular at the records office

What's your UG school?

kunlebal:

The chinko guy?

He is the one. God will visit him one day. He'll grant everyone Visa one day.

Last time I was at the embassy the Chinco guy was granting visas well, dunno why d sudden change o.

Maybe him naija babe don f**k am up.

University of Ibadan

Ms Nas:

I don't think so. Schools are to reply via paper (School's letterhead). They'll quote the reference number WES sent to them. Some schools might reply via email though, but I haven't heard of such.

Mine was replied through email. I paid an officer in the exams and records in the admin who monitored everything so that it's fast. He told me everything including the time they received photocopy of documents from WES and when the reply email was sent to WES. Everything correlates because the day he told me they have replied WES was the day my status changed to evaluation is in progress on WES website.

PS: WES verification reply from Nigerian schools is by email so that the process is fast.

Wow! Hope dey be dat. I'll just ask if they use email and follow it up. I just hope my school is not old fashioned on this one

HaHa.... The guy was s☺ mean that a man of high caliber was frightened and stammered all through that he even told the chinko guy God bless you for my denial... #I pitied him#...
Everyone that went to his counter where stumping their foot, biting nails, clapping their hands on their laps... Menh! He was a NO NO NO VISA Guy.

winbyforce:

My school is even old fashioned more than you'll ever think but that's the normal procedure. Those schools are not new to those evaluators. They are customers.

TaylorGang: When I was denied on 30th of july..d only reason I was denied was becos I was stammering..am a stammer sha..now am looking for a day to reapply..my skl(concord university) opens on 19th of august..so am looking for an appointment date nxt wk or this friday to reapply..

Ask for emergency date if that's the case and if not, defer.

ferdimako:

You kept saying that every time...make sure your stammering isn't your only problem.

I gave my visa interview experience..earlier..

lentywilly:
VO: She took my passport and was about to say those magical words and suddenly she screamed woooooooooooooooow! You I-20 reads resumption date of 12th August and it says not later than that date. I intend issuing you a visa by then, s☺ I can't. You have to tell the school to write to us for an extension.
Me: I was shocked couldn't talk again.
VO: Don't worry son, its for your own good. You may be deported at the Us airport for this, s☺ which is wise? Re applying or deporting?
Me: Still shocked as she handed me those papers. #sad faced#...

House please I've not heard of this type oo since I started going through this thread.
Thanks Baba imperiouxx, your advice helped.
# I think Today wasn't my day#

Oh no Did we discussed about the extension stuff? Can't remember anymore. I think I told you?

imperiouxx:

Sent me a mail about school yearly expense and to go with my Dad's landed property documents.

Ok, which I told you not necessary. I thought you were the one I discussed about close resumption date with. Anyways, we've to go back to the drawing board. Did she gave you any letter that will let you in for a fresh interview? If not, you will have to reapply for another interview.

Better for you, Lenty. Don't be in a hurry. I've learned something in this life. When certain things don't go the way we planned, do not be sad but happy rather for something unfavorable for you has been taken off your way and you've been put on a better course.

Relax and cheer up. Spring is by the corner. Just 4 months away.

bigfrancis21:

No, you cannot use the emergency option again since you've already been denied. The requirement states that you must not have been denied US visa in the last 6 months.

At this point, the best thing to do will be to defer to spring to allow you enough time to prepare and travel.

Contrary is the case. I clicked on that button, third day after my initial denial and the emergency date was approved the second day. Yes, after being denied once within last 6 months, if your resumption is very close, you can use the emergency date.

oyetpel:
The chinko guy?

Its definately d. Chinko guy. Bfor u speak for 30sec he would sharply say am sorry u. R free to apply later,like he was programed. To deny

TaylorGang: I gave my visa interview experience..earlier..

Okay and goodluck,sir.

I feel that has changed now going by the requirement that states you must not have been denied a visa in the last 6 months. Or was the same law in effect during your time? Maybe it was not that's why yours went through. I stand to be corrected though.

The drawing board is set, my school sent a confirmation now that they've deferred my admission to Spring 2014 resumption date is 13th January.
S☺ I should wait for my new I-20 which will come by September. That I could have enough time to apply for an appointment.
I'm even happy now self... The stress is off.
Learnt a lesson today, If you're bold enough and focused on your strong points/reasons, VOs will be friendly to you because the know you are a Nairaland 1st class material, Visa can't be denied for any reason. #big grin#.
S☺ I'll keep planning ahead... Delay is not denial.
1luv!!!

@Lentywilly, I-20 again? Jesus. Pls do not be sad. I think God didn't want you to go at this time. Your case is smiliar to mine. Though it was sponsorship inaccurancy. Was so blind that I couldn't detect it. Even my parents didn't detect it too. Was later revealed to us at the church that something nasty could have happened to me in the US. That the man who interviewed me really loved me. That he acted like a father as well as my God. LOL!

That was written there boldly then too, still people apply and get approved after their FIRST time denial.

AFAIK, that law has always been there. I guess they state it clearly just to discourage people who have previously attended an interview so as to give everyone a fair chance. If you need emergency appointment after a denial, I'd say go for it. You have nothing to lose really

Bros which church you dey go?

@webstradamus, U wanna know? Hahaha

Just in case anyone is still looking for a cost-effective (or should I say cost-free ) way of transferring money from their GTB account to their US bank account, simply go to any Walmart and purchase a money order in your name using your GTB Naira Mastercard. You can then pay in the money order to your US bank account. You do not incur any charges from GTB (since it is a POS transaction) and the money order only costs $0.70 (70 cents). If you ask me I'd say this is the cheapest and fastest way to transfer funds to the US from Naija. However, maximum you can go on a single money order is $1000 so if you wanted to transfer say $5000, you would have to purchase 5 money orders (total cost will be $3.50). Imagine how much savings you would be making when compared to doing a wire transfer! Plus you get your money instantly!!

@webstradamus, that's great. It seems like you're a very good business man. I like that lol. Give me five:-)
