The schools did not require standardized tests abi you don't want to write standardized tests and then chose schools that do not require the tests

Which course and which schools?

Youngstown State University Ohio
Grand Canyon University Arizona
My course does not require GRE
And TOEFL was waived since my BSc was taught in English
What do you think?
Would I be denied Visa because of these?

Good day gurus in the house.
Pls! I need advice from anyone in this forum who have information about my predicament.
I went for my B1B2 (Conference B1)visa interview last week wednesday in Abuja.I think I answered all the questions correctly and honestly.At the expiration of the interview the VO returned my passport and my Ds 160 and gave me a 221g administrative yellow paper,she said I 'll be contacted through mail.No documents was checked or asked for during the interview session.The next day I received a mail from the embassy with attached DS-5535 form to be filled and email back to the embassy.The attached DS 5535 form has been filled and mail back the embassy.
Don't understand what this process is all about,anyone with useful information and advice is highly welcome

Yellow Slip: A 221 g Yellow slipdenotes general type of administrative processing. The Consulate looks at all the documentation provided by the candidate and the employer. WhiteSlip: A 221g White slip denotes requirement for further processing by the USCIS.

Form DS-5535, Supplemental Questions for Visa Applicants, standardizes the collection of additional information, including social media usage, from immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants "who have been determined to warrant additional scrutiny in connection with terrorism or other national security-related visa ineligibilities."



If a consular officer determines that a visa applicant warrants this additional scrutiny, the applicant will be instructed to provide the following information on Form DS-5535:

Travel history during the last fifteen years, including source of funding for travel;Address history during the last fifteen years;Employment history during the last fifteen years;All passport numbers and country of issuance held by the applicant;Names and dates of birth for all siblings;Name and dates of birth for all children;Names and dates of birth for all current and former spouses, or civil or domestic partners;Social media platforms and identifiers, also known as handles, used during the last five years; andPhone numbers and email addresses used during the last five years.

I also attended a private university.. Made a very high 2:1
My departmental football coach...
I don't know the private university u attended but mine, it's impossible to work.. One can't even leave campus without valid reason...i attended CU... Same procedure in Madonna university... I would live to know the private university u attended in Nigeria??

Babcock University allows it.

Mhipo:


BABCOCK UNIVERSITY and i forgot to add, i was off campus..i make arrangement with my church chaplain esp on Sabbath mornings when i have work

Before I saw this, I was already typing that it's Babcock University you attended.
I believe your story.
Don't ask me how or why

Shezkid:


The advantage is Babcock allows off campus if not, there's no way you would have even though of working..

Babcock also allows on-campus and you can work and study at same time.
It's called "work-study".

I think the fact that your visa application wasn't denied on the day of your interview means everything went well just that the visa officer needed to clear all doubt he or she might be having about your documents and other info's about you. If you are sure all the documents you submitted are authentic then you are good. Lastly I can't tell how long it will take them to make a decision but be rest assured that if the visa will be granted they will make sure u get it before your intended day of travel.
So the bottom line is if the conference is genuine and documents submitted are authentic have no fear and remain positive good luck

You'd be better served on the visit visa thread. Meanwhile a simple google search may be all you need.

Osinachi1:


Only a handful of schools still accept Applications for fall.

If You're searching for a school, check U of Utah. I saw somewhere they accept Applications till April.

Priority deadlines may have passed but a lot of schools are still accepting applications for Fall 19.

Ideebong:
Ok here.. January 9th 1st interview
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: you want to go for studies in the US
Me: yes
Voice : how many schools did you apply to
Me: one

Am sorry for the delay but you obviously didnt gather enough information prior to your interview.
This is where you need to put in small lie that you applied to 3 or more universities ven if you didnt. VOs believe that applying to more universities shows some kind of seriousness


VO: why
Me: it was recommended and.... (Voice Cuts me short
VO: I said why
Me: I have done my research on the school and course I am going for and I have seen that the standard of the school..... ( cuts me short)
VO: under the immigration law you don't qualify for a student visa.

2nd interview
Me: Good morning
VO: when did you finish secondary school
Me: 2014
VO: what have you been doing prior to your application
Me: I have been working and also going for catering class
VO: sorry ( returns passport and I -20)

we need to see some information from your ds 160 so the Gurus on the trend can advise.

GOODLUCK

Thanks for this information. I'll remain positive..

Hello gurus, if per chance one was able to get admission with a GRE score of 278, i.e quantitative 136, verbal 136 and Writing 2.0. Is it presentable to consular for visa interview. Please, kindly advise

Please do not take this with you.

Simply means you probably wrote the GRE for the fun of it.
Minimum is 130 in each section meaning the total score was like 3/20 + 3/20 in each section. (Max 10/40 due to the adaptive testing.

I'd advice to rewrite.

Besides, I wonder what school would give admission with such a low score...

Hi guys, please has anyone renewed their student visa recently in Naija without the Dropbox route? If yes how did it go?
