Good morning house. Please I will like to know if anyone has encountered this or has idea on how to go about it;

I received my I-20 few days back and attached to it is a Scholarship certificate stating that I've been awarded an Academic and Cultural Sharing Scholarship but the funding amount of the scholarship isn't reflecting on my I-20.
So, my question is;
1. Should I go with the certificate to my interview? And what should I say when the VO asks why it isn't reflecting on my I-20.
2. Has anyone been in this situation?? And if yes was your Visa approved??
Thanks in advance.

Please house, what's the probability of getting a visa for associate degree program and how will I go about the interview. Has anyone attempted that? Please is urgent.

Email your school that you'd like the scholarship to reflect on your i20, get the new i20 and print it.

The VO might not look at the certificate, so make sure it reflects on the i20

Yes. That was the instruction from the Consulate but I can't reschedule or request an expedited appointment, I can only cancel
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by sonofakin: 2:37pm On Nov 09, 2020
Did you request for the emergency appointment with your jan 4 date already?

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by tmphoto(m): 2:45pm On Nov 09, 2020
If by associate degree you mean communities colleges ,then the chances are slim some years back that wasn’t an issue really but now it is.
Nevertheless you can still go ahead, you might get it base on you been favored

You are 32years and have a BSC. You would most likely not be approved for an Associate degree cause it's lesser than BSC, even the chance of getting approval for another BS at that age is slim.

I will suggest you apply for a graduate program instead

Truth is that the embassy has put hs in a very difficult position. People that requested since last week have not heard from them. Just three days before Friday, what is the assurance that one will hear from them after cancelling a closer appointment date

If I see this information on my profile, can I still reschedule my appointment if I see an earlier date?
Note: I have not cancelled an appointment before.

Yes you, I just called them now, and the lady that picked said MRV are used twice. So if u see an earlier date u can.

I am keeping my fingers crossed right now because after been denied emergency appointment there’s nothing one can do but to wait and hope that an early date is released again.

I pray that God will help and answer all of us in this category.

Hoping for the best guys.

Arisukuni:
Good day to you all! Trust you all are doing well.

Please I need response from you guys regards to the attachment I have here.

An F1 interview was attended, visa was approved at 4th attempt, and SOA and sponsorship letter notarized by a Lawyer were taken down. It was asked by the VO if she can go ahead and confirm the authenticity of the documents, a response was given in affirmation that she can go ahead. After which the white paper for approval was given and the paper for collection of Passport at the DHL, the interview was held at Abuja, the pick up was isolo.

After 2 days of AP, the 3rd day It changed to refused, some minutes later a mail came in stating that the Visa was refused, and there was an attached of the 214B form the generic one that usually issue to applicants upon refusal at the point of the interview.

When passport was picked at DHL isolo, the white attachment you can see here is what was found inside the passport along side the 214B, the green color. All these happened last year!

1. Please with the attachment here, what's the interpretation of it?

2. Canada and USA share same information, will whatever on this paper reflect on Canadian database, will the USA attempt affect the Canada visa issuance, or will it in any form affect the issuance of Canada visa, either visiting or PR?

Sincere response will be highly appreciated from you all.

Thank you for your attention, and thank you for reading .

Appear like a story I have heard before.
What you do with US embassy is in the system for Canadian embassy to access and assess.
I have seen cases of students who were refused by the US embassy and then tried Canadian visa but didn't disclose they were refused by the US. The visa was refused and they were banned for 5 years (If I still remember).
Remark must have been left on your profile, and Canada have access to that profile while evaluating your document to determine if you qualify for the class of visa you've applied for

The applicant who had similar experience you are having was clearly warned. He reached out to me from this thread, and I remember warning him not to take fake bank statement to the embassy, but he didn't listen. I want to believe this is not the same person.

Additionally, these days, Canada rarely give visiting visas to people without travel history and enough fund in their account and professional background. So if you will be paying anybody or or doing the visa application for Canadian visa by yourself, make sure you know what you are doing. All the best!

Profile
Undergraduate: HND, hospitality Management
Funding: GTA plus Department Scholarship(s)
School: Texas Tech University
Deficit: ~$2,700
Course: Hotel Management
Location: Lagos consulate
Status: Approved, 6th Nov,
7am appointment

I hope the above helps someone out there.

NL has been helpful through the process for me, so I owe this platform my transcript. A big thanks to fairheart, you are always ready to help. To my Acer's WhatsApp group family, big thank you. And to my Gee, Ahmed, you're a true friend. despite having your visa more than a month now, you didnt stop motivating and reminding me we'll both be on the flight together to Texas. Thanks alot brother. Really boosted my confidence

At the interview hall, i noticed only two VO's were working. i must state that, both of them were friendly, atleast from the conversations i heard. And btw, it was an Approval back to back from them, the approval rate must have exceeded 80%, from what i observed while on the queue. So this gave me some more confidence. Then it was my turn. Here is my conversation with the VO.

VO: good morning
Me: good morning
VO: where are you going?
Me: I'm going the Texas Tech University for my masters degree in hotel management.
Vo: Hotel management hmm
Me: Yes, hotel management
Vo: why hotel management
Me: (about to talk, vo cut)
Vo: oh so which hotel are you working(must have seen from DS 160)
Me: bleep hotel, here in Lagos.
vo: Oh, bleep hotel.
Vo: So you did your nysc (i wasnt sure if he was asking when i did it or if i did it)
me: Yes, i did my NYSC. ( trying to avoid too much talk)
Vo: looks at his system, then said, Full funding hmm?(in my mind i started wondering if this VO didnt see the over 2k deficit in it)
Me: So i simply responded, Yes, full funding.
Vo: How did you get the funding
Me: I evaluated my transcript with world education service (WES), after which the official copy was sent to the school, i also submitted my SOP, resume and GRE score, and then ..(vo cuts in again)
Me: what was your GRE score
Me: i had ** in verbal, ** in quant and ** in writing.
Vo: at this point, the vo picked my i20 again and started looking at it seriously, seem he was comparing or confirming something on his system also. This period seem to be the longest 30seconds or more time of my life�
Me: (my mind, i just kept telling myself that my village pple must not get me today. the look was taking long) I kept my cool still.
VO: Have you travelled out before?
Me: No sir, Never had any reason to.
Vo: Married, any kids?
Me: No.
Vo: i will be approving your visa, go to windows 22 to pay your reciprocity fee. Enjoy your study in the US
Me: Thank you sir. i sharply run off, before he remember another question. lol

NB: No single document was asked. typing it now seem longer. i dont think it lasted up to 4min
I just thank God.

This is so inspiring bro...congratulations. Plz can u share with me how u were able to apply with ur HND for masters because so many ppl dont know we can actually use HND to apply for masters in the USA? I also have HND and have been trying ways through which I can use it to apply for masters in the USA with full funding..u can mail me on teepyannix@gmail.com
Will be waiting for ur reply. Thank u
