wahabaa:


Thank you for this. I got Dec 21. I am not sure it asked me if I was previously denied or not because I did it in a rush after seeing your message.

Hi there! How did your new interview go?

Hi guys!

Is there any fellow previously denied applicant that was able to secure a new date of recent?

All I can see on my dashboard is no date available.

haywhy17:



This one is son of my father... I finished from animal science department with exactly same CGPA... currently running my MSc but wouldn't mind starting all over in a uni in the US.
I go buzz your WhatsApp soon.

You are welcome.It's my pleasure to meet you.Give me your let's reason.
Already, there is one school that offered me admission earlier this year but their tuition fee is too high 20k.I am looking for schools that offer partial or full scholarship or tuition lower than 5k dollars

majorstark:


6months before march 2021

ok so you mean if i print a statement of account now (31st December 2020), i can use it till May 31st .
even if i withdraw the money sometime around march or february

dNairaman:
Please I have 2 urgent questions as regards filling the ds 160 form...

1. How do I answer "who's paying for your trip"?
Does it just simply mean my sponsor??

2. If I'm currently self employed, how do I represent that while filling the present employment section??

Thanks for your reply...

Just thinking about this ,
I messed up in filling my form
I put self cos i was willing to pay for my flight to the usa.
but my family(mom) is my sponsor on my i20 and is my mom bank statement i intend to use.


i thought trip meant the flight alone.


please i wish to change this......
what can i do
fill another form
or explain to the VO when asked

frapzkid:

YES

Rhonah:

I'm sorry for the denial. The future is definitely bright. Why not share more of your details such as first degree course of study, graduation year, age, standardized tests taken, e.t.c - I believe these will help the gurus in the house to better appraise your situation....

Visa approved.
Lagos consulate.

- Previously refused
- CoA - $29k
-$2k funding
- Uncle as sponsor

Na God do this one o. My interview lasted over 25 minutes with the black lady in window 4. She denied two people in front of me. But God came through for me.

Transcripts later. Let me catch my breath.

Hello sorry about this. Kindly share previous denials so the gurus in the house can pin point what exactly went wrong. This is quite sad.

While we await the gurus, it is good you've reconsidered mechanical engineering at masters level - that is more realistic considering your undergraduate study. Are you married?. Also, was your mum your sponsor in the previous applications?

If you already have spring I-20, continue with it. You should meet up. Fill your DS160, pay SEVIS, MRV fees and book an appointment right away!.

Good afternoon gurus! I urgently need help on something.
Does anyone know any school offering creative writing for MA level? Then do I need to take the GRE? Thanks in anticipation!

Go back to previous pages on this thread, a lady got full funding for the same course.

EmeritusR:

did you have any form of funding?

the bank statement has a lot of money on it.

NigPatriot:

no I do not have any funding

EmeritusR:


no I do not have any funding

The COA is quite huge to be candid and I think his account should be with the bank he works with. Just my thought though.
