Just call them and they should be able to to change and let you know when it will reflect that way online too. I did change my name spelling too by just calling them.

helo any latest info abt interview at embassy in Lagos

Can u imagine. ETS sent result since september 14th. This is serious oh! I am planning to request for another copy to be sent to a friend's address in the US. I hope the VO will not pick on this.

@Benom,why are you giving yourself unnecessary problem.Look for anyone that uses a P.O Box there in Naija and order ETS to send there.That is so simple.You sending to an address in USA is another red flag for and thank God you know yourself.How many times will i say it here that Post office wont bring letters to your doorstep.80% of mails rotten in their office.But if you use a PO box,they deliver it in there and you go pick it up.Hope these helps?

Guys, I want to know if I can book an appointment without paying the visa fee. Someone told me I can pay 5800 now for the appointment and few days to the interview, i can pay the visa fee. i want to book an appointment now in order to secure a convenient day at the embassy

hi, how is it goin here, is been a while.

callygood,YES, you can.

@OjaP, I will do as u said. Its just that my interview is just a couple of weeks away and i'm getting worried.

@Benom,your online print out is okay for interview.But if you want to receive any mail from the USA,Use a P.O BOX for efficient and safe delivery.All Nairalanders,learn from this.I used a P.O Box all through my admission process.Thanks to my intl Student Adviser who advised me on this though.

Note:It means you can get the mail within 5-10DAYS.

@ house, I'll like to ask if the embassy would be requiring the original TOEFL result from ETS, I sat for TOEFL this January, even though the school that offered me admission did not require it. Should I present my result/scrores print-out from their website or an original copy has to be sent directly to them by ETS? I need your responses. Thanks

u can to apply to the embassy with ur TOFEL d print out online ok.

OjaP, thanks for your response. i will go get it done

@OjaP, thanks for the info. I don dey scout for p.o.box. I really hope I get the results. Thank you.

Hello house.
can anybody help me with info on how to evaluate my transcript from ECE or WES.

Administrative processing is just a fancy way of saying that the officer you interviewed with can do no more on your case. He has approved you for the visa but must check with Washington to make sure it is okay to issue it. This is most common in males 16-45 from certain countries. It doesn't mean you did anything wrong, or that anyone did, but possibly someone with a name close to yours [or something else] did something and they need to clear your name or something about you. It generally has nothing to do with the applicant but the US wants to protect itself from any problems no matter big or small. For the most part, especially students, the case comes back clear and everything is good to go. All you can do is wait patiently and check online. If it gets too close to the time when your I-20 tells you to enter the US I would say very politely call them back to check on the case. For the most part cases take 2 weeks to 90 days to return, though sometimes there is turnarounds of 3 days. Hope it helps!

I do have the same situation as yours, the consular told me that my visa would be ready in two to three weeks ,He said it has to go through the  Administrative process.
Did the consular tell you how long the administrative process is going to last for?if he didn't,then i reckon you either send them an email or give them a ring.

@Ojap, I need you e-mail address so that I can mail and also chat with you, mine is wilfem2002@yahoo.com
Thanks

@sly boggie.thanks a lot for ur response.mine is a business visa.this is my third 2yrs renewal.the consular said it will take about two weeks to get a response.and the circular they gave me said u are not allowed to make enquiries until after 90 days.i went for the interview on 30th october.i have a canadian visa too and the consular asked me a question based on that.honestly i dont understand.its really confusing

Hello house please i want to table my matter, i took this SAT that was written on 9th oct, i want to know if i can still use it and go for my interview on nov29th cos i was not granted admission with that sat, my last interview the con told me that my SAT result was poor that why did't i tk another 1, and i was denial because of that. and i had 1190 oh that last one.

@ Save my soul, The thing is I wont discourage you not to attempt to face the consular, but it would have been advisable if you could have applied for a master degree as their schools that can grant you admission for masters with your working experience and qualification. One thing is "the power to convince the consular lies within you without making him derail to asking you about your age" . Everything is about mindset and prayer.

Guys, you are doing great here. I want to know which place is most likely to grant the visa between Abuja and Lagos. I want to book my appointment sooner.

Location doesn't determine your chances of getting a visa, Even If you go to kafancha or Washington DC for your interview , it wont affect your chances. All you just need do is calculate the cost and nearness of the embassy to your present place of abode, shikena
