Can someone please tell me why they are denying students study visa?
I went for interview yesterday (19th of December, 2018). I spent like 5-6 minutes (though I fuc...ed up at a point due to fear) with the VO asking me questions and typing. The VO wasn't even looking at me.
They denied a lot of applicants infact all 20-30 applicants (no exaggeration) before me were denied.
What's wrong?


Thanks

Lack of preparation
Desperation
Lies

you can't be sure. I think they've passed their quota for the year

open another account with any email as if you book for another person, no need to fill ds160, just open another account on the cgi.......... site and check

Do you have to use "aside from the fact that..." to make the point? This line of words seem to be on almost every transcript on this thread. Please be original. Be creative. Craft your own response. Any student that send me his/her transcript from this moment will have to rewrite that section if I see it there. Instead of "aside from the fact that"--which consular hears often, can you use, "More importantly", "In addition to this", "More so",. "Also", "Other than that", "Alongside this", etc.

A student will be dropping her approved visa transcript soon (for visa approved this week). There's another guy who got approved late November I am still waiting for his transcript to be posted. More transcript of approved visa still coming; the embassy at both location are still issuing, and you too can still get your visa. Keep hope alive!

Those who have been denied should brace up. Re-firing immediately isn't always the key to getting the visa. Impatient has delayed as many dreams from becoming a reality as negligence and lack of preparation have. If you have been denied, check yourself, check your transcript, and see what can change or boost your chance before you reapply. If you have to defer the admission, do it. You don't have to reapply immediately if things are tight. But follow your heart anyway ! The student I mentioned above was first denied last year. She waited and reapply this year, and she got it.

Some of you were denied simply because of lack of confidence (yes, lack of confidence and unnecessary fear you secretly nurse because of people you've heard were denied), inability to make eyes contact, inability to converse with the consular smoothly, lack of thorough and cogently convincing transcript, or otherwise (sometimes, this is not the case and it is not your fault at all). Nevertheless, put yourself together very well.

God bless you. If you get money, Nigeria sweet!

Good morning. I'd like to talk to you if you don't mind.However, if it's not convenient for you, it's fine.

Thanks bro...it was helpful

I'm not sure about that just make sure the new ds160 is submitted to Abuja location at the end of the form. Then you pick Abuja on the interview appointment site. If you don't submit your ds160 to Abuja, they won't see on their system when you get there

Hello House,

Please How much does it cost to do drop-off at the DHL Isolo?

I went for interview yesterday, the VO said she needs additional information. I am still praying for the best.

Please How much? Anybody?

Go with all required docs to the DHL. Go with your ATM card too. When you get there, you will know how much it cost, if you will be paying at all.

Good day guys,
A very quick one,I have an appointment on Jan 4th in Lagos..I need a very comprehensive way of filling the ds 160,I don't want to make any mistake because this will be my third attempt,the first and second was in 2011.
I will appreciate if the gurus on the forum can assist me with this..Thanks

Vandemoo:
Good morning guys, I had my interview today Wednesday 19th, 2018 at the Abuja consulate. I had previously been denied in Lagos in August so this was my second attempt. Before I proceed, I need to state that there are 4 elements to be considered before visa issuance.
1. Acceptance into an accredited school.
2. Possession of sufficient funds.
3. Preparation for course of studies to show if you're a credible student.
4. Presenting intent to leave the US at the end of your studies, i.e you need to display your purpose of travel and overcome the hometies barrier.

Most applicants don't have problems with the first 2 but rather with the last 2.
It's left to you to prove points 3 and 4.

Have it at your mind that your responses should address how to fix a problem in Nigeria.
Know your ds160 like the back of your hand. Prepare like there's no God, pray like you never prepared.

This is my transcript.

Me: Good morning.
VO: Responds, pass me your passport and i-20
VO: Why did you choose Bleep University.
Me: I chose Bleep University because it would help me gain more research and technical knowledge in seeking ways to reduce material and structural failure in made in Nigeria products that have engineering applications...
VO: What was your undergraduate in?
Me: Bleep
VO: From which school?
Me: Mentioned
VO: What will you specialise in?
Me: Composites, because there is no one single engineering material that meets a general application, so the knowledge of composites enable you to engineer materials to meet each specific function.
VO: Where do you work?
Me: I work in Bleep as a project analyst, I analyse, manage and execute projects and I also conduct needs assessments based on the service level agreement between Bleep and their clients.
VO: I can see you have a graduate assistantship, did you apply for it, run me through the process of how you got it.
Me: I told the school about my research work, they evaluated it, and because of the quality of the research, I was granted the assistantship.
VO: Who will be paying the balance?
Me: My aunt
VO: What does she do?
Me: She is into sales of building materials.
VO:What do you intend to do with this degree, your post-graduation plans?
Me: I plan to return to Nigeria and seek gainful employment in policy making institutions like the Standards Organisation of Nigeria where I can contribute to making policies that would help improve research and development in Nigeria.
VO: Are you married?
Me: No
VO: Do you have any relative in the US?
Me: No
VO: Your visa has been approved, passes white paper & the rest is history.

Congratulations!

Make sure you don't change critical information that may dent your chances. Fill the DSFORM with basic info you used back in 2011. Change information only where necessary and that you can defend. Good luck!

Between your last denial and now, have you travelled outside Nigeria? How old are you now? If you provide this information, I may be able to assess your profile.

I didn't fill the ds form myself back then..can I send you a DM?

Ah! It is not a big deal if someone else filled the form for you as long as you are the one who provided the information the person used and you have copy of the dsform. You can write to me.

I will advise, next time you go. Just focus on yourself and yourself alone. Do not let other people's denial deter you. YOU ARE UNIQUE AND UNIQUE YOU ARE.

For me, VO typing throughout sef would had been an advantage to you to kill your game. What would you have done if he or she had fixed his/her gaze on you? You for kuku loss nah... lol

Congrats to you. What does the VO mean by needing additional information? What documents are they needing?

And can you please post your visa interview transcript (between the VO and u)?

Good morning house. I had previously been denied last year Spring so left it till this year Spring to reapply again. I want to ask, while filling my new DS160, I changed the two contacts entirely that I filled on the SEVIS contact page column with some other two persons. Asides that change and the addition of my new job position/ responsibilities, which I recently added, there were no much changes to my DS160. Please hope I am safe?

Why did you change them? These people are still alive? The change is unnecessary, and it is not like embassy will call them. For job position/responsibilities, you are fine. Good luck!

Let her/him get the visa first. You will see transcript later.

Thanks for your prompt response. Can I add them back just below the new two I added? making them a total of four contacts?


I am asking though cos I need to correct my DS160. I still work in the same bank where I just got a new position but while filling the DS160, I didn't see where to add a new job role so I cleared the former role and inputted with the new one and new date I began the new role. Now this new date (January 2018) is making it seem like I have been working less than a year so someone suggested I should put back the date I was employed January 2014, type the new job role below where they have a box for job responsibility description and say from January 2018 till date, while also indicating below my other responsibility which was from January 2014 to January 2018.

Please advise. Thank you.
