As far as you've not submitted your DS 160.
If you've submitted it, anything you change can stand stand against you .

You can submit ds 160 and still go ahead and change something by filling a fresh one. You can fill up to 100 different ds 160 with different details, it won't stand against you if you didn't interview with it. It's only the ds 160 number they used in interviewing that they will leave on your profile and it count against you if you change anything during your second interview asumming you weren't given visa in the first attempt. If you have submitted your ds 160 and feel you made a mistake, you can fill a fresh one and change it with the old one you have on your appointment page. The unused ones (the one you weren't interviewed with) even if submitted will be deleted after 30days from the system.

Alright

PythonLearner:


Boss, is direct application for Masters available in all schools or just available in the school you applied to? And is such direct application class of degree dependent?

I guess you meant to ask if direct Ph.D. application is available in all schools. Direct Ph.D. application is available in most schools in the United States. It is not class of degree dependent but GPA is a key factor. Schools will ask for a minimum of 3.0./4 and in many, it is actually a minimum of 3.5/4 for direct Ph.D. applications.

You cannot do this anymore when you have 3 days to your interview. Else, you will be turned back at the Embassy.

Don't say what you don't know. You can do it even 48hrs to your interview. May be you didn't put your passport photograph, that's why you were sent back or you didn't do it correctly.

I am telling you that you cannot edit your ds-160 3 days before your interview and you are arguing with me. Okay, I want someone to experiment that then. Good luck

Was my post talking about 3days to your interview?

By the way, if the option to edit the DS-160 number is not there on your appointment portal, you can contact the embassy to change it for you (someone has done that 48hrs to his interview). You can as well reschedule your interview.

Time2win:


Was my post talking about 3days to your interview?

Your post was right about editing ds-160 but you must submit your ds-160 three days before the interview. Any changes that you want to make must be done 72 hours before the interview.

You can reschedule your interview if you want to make any changes within 72 hours to the interview

For clarity, in case one has multiple submissions, I hope the one used for appointment booking is what will be used for the interview?

Yes. You will be interviewed based on the one you have on your appointment page

It is not a good thing to have multiple submissions.
Take your time and fill the DS 160.

Good morning guys. I would really appreciate any assistance here.

My i-20 was issued last week tuesday (still on its way) but I was told I can go ahead with the payment of sevis and visa appointment. Now that I don't have my i-20 yet with me, is it safe for me to go ahead with visa appointment, I have paid for both sevis and visa.

Also, can I go ahead to fill and submit the ds - 160 form?? Like how does the form really work? Can I fill now and submit but apply for visa interview in a week or two weeks time?

Also, like how does the visa interview date work? I mean, if I apply today, what could be the earliest day of interview?

I'd really appreciate your input.
Kind regards

Good morning, start filling the DS160 form today, fill as much as you can, note the code of the form, because there are some info you might need on your i20 such as your US contact, you can fill other aspect and not submit the form just yet.

Create your visa appointment account and book your appointment, do not forget to submit the DS160 form when you have your i20 and at least 3 days before your interview.

NB: Act now, dates are filling up fast, as at yesterday, the earliest dates available were in July, as at this morning, few spaces opened up in May(2dates) and June(1date), so get to work.

All the best.

Yes Boss, I meant Ph.D. Thanks for replying me. I made 3.72 / 5 in a Federal University here in Nigeria. Is the conversion equivalent to what can me a direct Ph.D ?

May 30 is available for those who wants May

Dear Nairalanders, good morning. Pls I am new here and have a question and need your advise. My wife a lawyer, got an admission with a school in the US for a master program, I am her sponsor, I am self employed and have a logistic company. We have a 5 months old daughter, and she wants me to come with her and our daughter to help with the baby while she’s going for her school run around. She has done everything and the school sent an I-20 form for 3 of us.

My question:
(1). Do you think it’s okay for three of us to apply the same time? Will it not look like we are running away from the country as most of the VO think which isn’t true in our case ??

(2). Should she apply alone? or apply with our daughter ?

Good people

Are there any cheap/affordable hotels close to the US embassy in Abuja?

Names, location and prices will be appreciated if possible!

This one is always hard as they is not right or wrong way . The more fluid you are the better it helps but nobody can predict as it highly subjective to the VO you get . There was a lady here last year, she went with her two small sons but her husband wasnt going and She and son were given. Some have done it that the primary applicant goes first and then the Dependents go next . Some have gone with the whole family . In all these some were given some were rejected .

It hard to predict which is the best way . I would have said daughter and mother go first however if father is not given later on. There still no way mother can cope with daughter.

Good morning people

I did TOEFL exam and my results came out today, but I did not do very well as I had 78. Please what are my chances of getting a school that might accept such a low score. Thank you!

Who knows about sevisexpress? Hw can I pay fr my sevis?
