Writing TOEFL wouldn't hurt you so if you have the resources, you should. Also, check the schools' requirements (usually on the website) to see if it is a criterion for being admitted, especially for international students. Contact the schools via email or phone calls if you ever need to clarify anything.

Your age isn't a barrier. Your age is just fine.

Cheers.
thank you

Be strong! Disappointments is a part of life. So I'd advise you to be philosophical about it. You can actually try again.
Miirrahh:
I called, and I was asked to send a mail. I did send a mail, and I received a response stating that my visa was refused under section 214(b) ( no close ties to home). I wasnt even asked any question in that area.
I was just asked 2 questions, and that was it. It's so unfair!

Don't let that weigh you down, try and reapply so u can still make spring semester.
Majority of people that got their visas has been denied once or twice before .

Congrats. Please share your transcript with us

My transcript is just like the regular ones everybody has read on this platform.

(first interview)

Me: Good morning madam
V.O: Nodded. Pass me your I-20 form and passport pls
Me: did
And every other questions were basically on my statement of account which was retained with the passport, scrutinized and I was told I will be banned for life if it turns out false. To which I was affirmative and said she should go ahead and do the background checks.
VO: she gave me a white form thereafter

Sunday, got a call from the embassy for a re-interview on Monday.
(2nd Interview)

VO: I've checked ur documents and you came out clean. Congratulations. When you get to the US, don't get involved in anything illegal and ensure you maintain your status to avoid troubles.
Me:Thank you Ma.
VO: Issued another white form to me,congratulated me again and wishes me luck.

Conclusion: Honesty and confidence are the keys. Also, pray for God's favour. I made a mistake with my DS160, putting my residential address for my place of birth, but all these never count against me during the interview, although I was going to explain myself truthfully that I made the mistake as a result of using Google autofill in order to avoid consistent running out of session during the registration.

But thanks to this platform for everything they have done to help honest average Nigerians.

2) I don't have an original statement of account.

Hold your hands on your ears, I repeat... don’t ever go to US Embassy with fake statement of account. They made it a rule to verify all statement of accounts before issuing visa. Only in few cases that they don’t collect Statement of account

Hello wonderful people,

I actually just finished booking an appointment date and i just noticed the school address i submitted during the ds 106 is different from the address on my I-20. The address i submitted during the Ds-106 was the address of the graduate admission of my school which is different from what i just noticed on my i-20.
This is the only thing i noticed and i dont know if it will have effect. If the VO ask during my interview, I'll tell him/her the truth but I'm scared becasue of the mistake.

Please can anyone share some light? Can this really have effect? I had every other thing correct.

Thank you. We have just registered for SAT. I spoke to the school though and waiting for their feedback.

As long as your student is not applying for the Fall 2019 admission using the Early Action/Decision, the result from the Dec.1st SAT exam will be accepted. This is because the results will be out before end of December, and the Regular Decision applications are due from Jan 1st onward, depending on the college.

Hello there, I just got an offer of admission for an MS program at the University of Southern Mississippi, which also comes with a full tuition waiver and stipends. The sum of the assistantship is more than the estimated cost of study for a whole academic year. I will like to know if I still need to send an account statement with a balance exceeding the estimated cost of study or not. Thanks

Spotlighte:


Hey, that's the new WES policy. Your WAEC result must be submitted alongside your transcript before your result can be evaluated.

No WAEC result, no evaluation. That's how it is now.

I have seen people going to top universities, even with funding getting denied and I have also seen people that went there with schools like VIU, Iglobal that have gotten their visas. The key is know how to defend your school. Don't go there saying their curriculum is good or whatever they have aligns with your career goals. That will get you a straight denial because there are thousands of better schools. Find something specific you like about the school or your program and sell the school.
NB: I would advise other students to apply to better schools that would give you a degree people will respect.
All the best.

Please, am a newbie in the house.
I already made admission application but my sponsor is neither my uncle nor a relative. He's someone that picked interest in sponsoring me and he lives in New York. How can I reflect that as to whom my sponsor is?
And what more info is needed regarding such a sponsor?

I expected you to share testimony that you got your visa with the school but ended up dashing peoples hope with the refusal you got. Which fault are you talking about. Well it’s better to learn from people’s experience. Am not saying that people don’t get visa with Lincoln, iglobal , VIU, but visa refusal rate I have seen with those schools is very high. There is over 3000 schools in USA... why must it be these schools?
