Thank you very much.

I actually applied through the CGI website.


Like you just logged in to your dashboard and saw the date available?

Because all I've been getting since my denial is no dates currently available.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Geewin69: 8:31am On Jan 03, 2021
You'll really need to keep an eye out on the portal sir. Dates open up spontaneously every now and then. Before I saw that particular date, I had gone several weeks seeing "no dates available".

Alternatively, you can get another MRV fee and apply for an expedited appointment. If you plead your case well and supply the requisite documents, you may just be approved. Quite a number of people here did same and got appointments.

I had to fill another because I had to switch from Lagos to Abuja

Hi cane berry/ gurus in the house, pls I need some clarifications regarding filling new DS 160 because of change of interview place from Lagos to Abuja.

I initially filled DS 160 to attend interview at Lagos but due to no closer available date, I rescheduled to Abuja. I still observed my current DS160 for the appointment is still having Lagos but I am not sure if I need to change it since same DS 160 is used for MRV fee and current appointment.

My interview date is Tuesday (about 2days). Do I/can I still filled another DS160 for this appointment without scattering things?

Appreciate your timely response.

Wait!
You can't submit a new DS within 72 hours of your interview! So, don't fill another one.

You are good to go. When you get to Abuja on Tuesday, your DS could be retrieved from Lagos!

In the CGI tone " You do not need to fill a new DS form if you want to change Location within a country ".

Meanwhile, I will advise you call the CGI Gus tomorrow to relay your worries , and I am sure you would be advised accordingly!

Yes you can, if you really need to. Otherwise just stick with your current one. I also had to fill a new DS form, and I filled it the night before my interview.

If the location is the only issue, I don't think there's need to stress yourself with filling another one.

You should add writing to your hobby. It was your articulate and fine writing skill that glued my attention to your first long e-mail to me last year or so. I still remember that your choice of words and the things you said you want to achieve by going to the U.S, inspired me. You told your story so well, and I think this is a skill everyone should learn. We should be able to tell our unique story in a way that will make others see the goodness in us.
I actually didn't do as much as I would have done for a younger brother I cared about, but I am glad that the little I did was impactful.

I also love that you took out time to remember those who helped in your journey. This is the attitude of gratitude and it will take you far and make people always want to help you. As you grow in the U.S, keep nursing this attitude; you'd meet even empathic people that will be there when you need another human being to advance your goals.
I also thank Northeastern and Texrem and Aunty Lagosismyhome grin for their supports toward your success.
The seed to excel is in you and I hope you will study well and graduate at the top of your class. AMEN to your prayers for me and God bless you!

@Fairheart. Please, I was told to contact you. I don't know how to connect with you sir. Could you please share your email or reach me via stadunbarin@gmail.com

Many thanks in advance.

Does this mean I’ll have to take the SAT? Cos I’ve been outta high school since July 2017. If yes, please I need suggestions for schools that don’t require SAT

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by kennedyemmy: 5:08pm On Jan 03, 2021
Hello House, compliments of season.
I have an issue that has been bothering me.
I have Bank Statements from my Sponsor printed in July 2020; which I used to get my I-20 from the school back in July but had to wait till now for my Visa Interview due to closure of Embassies.
My Appointment is this month, can I go with same Bank Statements printed in July 2020 for my Interview?
My Sponsor has been having difficulties printing a new Bank Statement for me as the money in her account is no longer up to my Cost of Attendance.
What can I do now?
What other documents do I need to get from my Sponsor?
Please kindly advise. Thank you so much.

Please what school is this

DENIAL TRANSCRIPT

Status: Denied
Scholarship: $18k(Deficit of $9004)
Sponsor: Mom
Program: MSc
Interviewed by a White Male American VO for about 15 minutes tops


VO: Pass me your I-20 and passport
ME: *passes them*
VO: where are you going to?
ME: Washington DC
VO: OH great, what will you be studying *glances at my f1*
ME: Masters in Data Analytics
VO: why this degree
ME: because data in Nigeria is underutilized, I intend to be a part of data optimization in Nigeria to enhance health, security, and other sectors.
VO: how do you intend to do that?
Me: I intend to get a better standing with my current employer.
VO: who's your current employer
ME: O***. I work as an IT officer, database management is one of my duties.
VO: Who will be paying for this?
ME: My mom
VO: What does she do?
ME: she is a Nurse and a consultant at a state ministry of health. (Maybe I should have mentioned that she is a lecturer in nursing). She also owns a company that manufactures cleaning products and toiletries for homes and hotels.
VO: (looking dissatisfied) what is the staff strength of this company?
ME: 15
VO: oh I see. (puts my documents together and passes them with the denial letter). I'm sorry but you don't qualify this time for a student visa.

I don't know what went wrong, but for some reasons I knew I probably didn't convince him enough on the sponsors front.

Overall, it was a good first experience for me (although I got denied), I didn't feel too bad about it.

Congratulations to all who got approved, I had some pretty amazing conversations with fellow applicants too.

I'd love to learn from as many experiences as there are to share.

Thanks.

Nostradamus1:
You have a lot of time bro. Start now to prepare for SAT .Register for March 2021 to use it to access yourself then you can register another in case you didnt get your target goal. Realistically, you will have to start application August this year as most colleges deadline for application is this night(schools with fin aid ). But if you have a lot of cash , you can try and apply HBCUs with rolling admission till march 1st. The problem,however, is that you will need SAT to get reasonable scholarship.So sit down, start planning towards applying August and do thorough research


Thank you sir

Anything is possible if you really work for it. If you don't mind, what could be the reason for the change? Many universities in the 2 countries offer MS programs in Literary Arts, Communication Studies, Journalism, etc. which you could easily pursue with your French degree.
