I'm sure if you take your time to go through the thread you'll see tons of them. That's why this thread is golden. All you have to do is take out time and read up different transcript and you can predict the possible questions you'd be asked.
Okkk thanks

Hello people,

Thank you all for the good job that you are doing here. I recently joined the conversation last year and the volume of information and help I have gotten is enormous. Thank you.

I am in a tight situation here. I am going for my MS in Mech Engr and I have my visa interview already scheduled for Monday, 05/31/2021. However, my dept reached out to me on Thursday last week offering me a GA position in the department - someone else previously awarded had cancelled. However this is coming quite late and I reached out to my International Student Office on Friday to revise my I20 but I haven't heard back from them and it might be too late already, since my interview is tomorrow at Lagos. My GA offer letter from my department comes with full tuition waiver plus $21,000 salary for 1 year employment, leaving me with about $3k deficit. My mother will sponsor the remaining deficit.

Is it advisable to go with my GA offer letter to my interview as proof of my GA funding? Has anyone been in this situation before?

Thank you in advance.

Go with your GA letter, and explain the situation to the VO. You should be fine by God's grace.

Please Choose Penn State University. They have a World Bank sponsored scholarship for the Built Environment that can give you a full tuition waiver. I shared the scholarship link earlier this year on this thread


Thank you very much. Can I choose them for spring?

What is your GPA? Both UG and Ms GPA if you have an MS? WES evaluation?
TOEFL /IELTS scores? Pubs?

Thank you very much. My undergraduate CGPA is 3.79/5, WES unofficial using their website is 3.34/4. I have no publication, and I am currently preparing for TOEFL. Any help?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Nobody: 10:51am On May 30, 2021
Go with the mail and explain to the VO. Be upfront about it. Also, inform your school to please upload it in your sevis. The mail should suffice though. All the best.

Thanks for the response but I have done this but it wasn't possible to change it there.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by TheReaper17: 5:34pm On May 30, 2021
Try Western Illinois University, Georgia Southern University or Texas Tech University. Best of luck to you.

Urgent!!!!
I really appreciate the effort of everyone who have contributed one way or the other to the progress of this forum.
Please I need all the help I can get now. I had correctly filled my passport number on my DS-160 and MRV, then went ahead to apply for visa. But on my appointment document the last digit of my passport number changed from 5 to 1.
Is there anything I can do about it or I have to pay a new MRV fee and file for another visa?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by chibertha(f): 5:54pm On May 30, 2021
Good evening family
I need a cheap hotel a walking distance of the USA embassy in Abuja.
Can some please help with some names?

Congratulations to all who got their visa approved this week.
For those going soon, I wish you good luck.
And for those who were not given keep pushing you will succeed in due course.

Kind regards

Good evening people!

Please, what do you think about conditional or probational admission with or without funding at the point of visa interview?

I’m scared that the word CONDITIONAL might appear on my I-20 and most likely give the VO a wrong impression, leading to a denial.

If you are going for fall Why the rush? You can reschedule for another date if you book in Lagos cos I noticed dates are being opened more in Lagos while you ask your International Admissions office to process an updated i-20. My offer was actually improved with more excess funds and I requested for an updated digital copy.

Try Bolingo Hotel. It is just a minute walk to the embassy. I stayed there the night before my interview. The rooms are cool and serene. You'll feel relaxed and ready to get your visa.

All the best

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by TEMIT0PE: 7:50pm On May 30, 2021
I think it's best you write the Embassy explaining your plight. They only can guide your appropraitely and you will have insurance of an official conversation to reference if you have any issues on the day of your interview.
