If one edits the ds 160, can one reprint the appointment confirmation page?? Or one will have to get a new appointment with the new ds 160 form?

I noticed something on the i20, the i20 was for spring, hope you know you need to get another i20 for this fall if you're trying to go for the interview anytime soon.

You don't need to book a new appointment, just change the DS160 application ID on the visa page from the old one to the new one, at least 3 days to your interview.

Good morning everyone. I recently gained admission at the East Tennessee State University study Digital Media as my second degree. I already had a first degree from the university of Ibadan in 2014. My i20 has been shipped but am still in doubt if Vo will accept or reject my Visa application cos I already had a first degree.

Why not do a Master's degree? The US educational system is so flexible that you can study Arts in undergrad and do computer science in graduate school.

A graduate degree would be better. And it has been 5 years since you graduated.

It will be a tough nut to crack

Hello Guys,

I just got an appointment Interview for US VISA, a friend working in the US invited me but i am sponsoring myself as i have a good job here in Nigeria and a family of 2.

This is the first time i will be going for an interview but I have traveled to China about 4years ago (Spent 4 months in china), sponsored by the Chinese embassy. I have a new passport as the one i used to travel to china already expired.

What are the possible questions that will be asked during the interview & what documents should i take along to the interview?

Where you've traveled to and what you went to do there.
What do you do for a living?
How much do you earn?
Home tie.. Family, Job, investment
How long will you be there?
And questions about the person that invited you.

Kindly DON'T go for a second Bsc.

You have a very high possibility of getting straight denial.

But the appointment confirmation page printout has the old application ID on it

ok noted

That's why I said you should change the DS160 application ID on your visa page from the old one to the new one. Have you done that?

Allow the gurus to answer you

Good day everyone,

I just got my F-1 visa renewed after an interview. My original program start/end date was 14th August 2017 - 15th May 2019. I extended my program till 13th December 2019 (i.e 7 months from now) and it's evident on my I-20. Prior to this renewal, I have a visa valid till 13th July 2019(I.e 2months from now).

Please educate me on the likely validity of the just renewed visa. Is it going to be the 7 months spectrum, less than or the usual 2 years?
Has any student for whatever reason been approved of visa with less than 2 years validity?

Thank you gurus

I think your visa ends on the day your i20 ends. You can then extend your status by applying for your OPT, which should be done 90 days before the end of your program.

This is not the right place to post it , there is another group for visiting visa. It might be better to post there

That been said i have seen post here by VO which states they do not read or view Invitation letters . Instead you are access based on your home ties for visiting visa

Okay...thanks

Hi house. Please I got denied today� (F1). How soon can I reapply?

wintabotom:
oversabi again... well done

There is nothing like oversabi in what he was saying. He was only trying to help by telling you what he thought was the right thing for you to do next.

All the VOs expects all students to take Standardize tests no matter what, and sees students that did not take the test as an unserious student.

What he was trying to say is that, what if you try again without taking the GRE and you get to the interview and the VO ask you if you take the test and you said No. It takes only the Grace of God to be approved Visa if the VO ask about Standardize Test and you said you didn't take it. You wouldn't know the type of question the VO would ask you. The VO might not even ask you about English Proficiency Test in your next interview but ask for Standardize Test.

There is sense in what he was saying, you just chose to hate his words because you don't like him. Stop seeing him like he's acting oversabi. Think over his advice before you reapply. At least, you will be able to tell the VO that something has changed about your application.

Who knows maybe God used him to tell you what might hinder you from getting your Visa in your next attempt so you can work towards it.

My advice though.
