Jossy89:


Hi, please can you help me with his contact? I need someone to help me with mine.

TWoods:


I hope you get flagged at the embassy. Folks like you are an embarrassment.

Am not an embarrassment, if you don't have any thing good to say you ignore my post
Maybe u haven't been denied a visa before

Prosnelson:

You didn’t have anything good to say either so should have taken your own advice. Blatant fraud isn’t a good thing. Being denied a visa isn’t an excuse… you’re not the only one.

Bear in mind, when you post here asking for solutions, you should understand a few basic facts:

1. VOs read these pages - it is a window into the minds of the people they interview everyday. So good luck ruining it for others.

2. Posting here asking for advice is premised on the fact that every response you get won’t be exactly “nice” to you. If that’s all you want, a blog might serve you better.

TWoods:


Hmmm that doesn’t look good. What was the real reason?

the statement is a month old+ when I take it to the embassy.my interview day to resumption day is 20 days so I think he don’t want to collect the hard copy and tell me to tell my sponsor to send the soft and I failed to..,,.i didn’t take any fake document.

REVIEW!REVIEW!!REVIEW!!!

Hello guys, please does it mean having a sponsor in the US is the reason why one's Visa is denied ??

Favour1998:
Hello guys, please does it mean having a sponsor in the US is the reason why one's Visa is denied ??

it’s possible for your sponsor to be in US

Prosnelson:

43 million
Please I just need a way out

Thats more than half the money in the account my gee... you didn't even specify while he'll make such commitment to you, doesn't he have kids of his own?

That being said, you specify the need to get a scholarship later own just confirmed what the VO was thinking (your uncle won't be able to cope with the cost).

Prosnelson:

Please I need a way out the 59 thousand USD is everything
About changing his name to my any way na way

And when you say changing his name do you mean he's willing to go that far for you in court and make it his legal name or the statement you took is fake and can be made to portray anything you want? I'd like to think the latter isn't the case as you'd be playing with a 10 year visa ban.

Is it advisable to choose a date after your school’s resumption date?

TWoods:


2 things:

Do you already have a bachelors degree? If yes, that would have been a flag.

Why is your dad only contributing a small fraction of your sponsorship?

Noo i dont have a degree yet but i have a diploma in medical laboratory technician which i did for 3yrs

TheGreenlight:
Is it advisable to choose a date after your school’s resumption date?

Hmm. If its wasn't a problem do you think there'd be a need to request for an emergency date?

TheGreenlight:
Is it advisable to choose a date after your school’s resumption date?

if it’s within 2 weeks after your schools resumption. You shouldn’t have any problems, just notify your school to give you an extension letter.

Vietnaminfo:



Please, how do one apply for the emergency date interview? My cousin's interview date is on January 2024 while his school is starting session by September.

He should select emergency on the left hand side and apply for it by uploading his i-20, SEVIS receipt and admission letter and also write a brief explanation on why he needs the emergency appointment.

Prosnelson:

The only legit way out is too look for another decent cheaper school that is affordable for you and your sponsor. Target rural state owned Universities

NigPatriot:


Sorry for your denial.
Past transcripts have shown people can mention uncle for such deficits and still be considered for visa.
The VO in your case most probably didn't enough patience. That's it's advicable to always shed more light. Just saying "your uncle" is vague and non convincing. One word replies at such scenario isn't going to cut.

Hello NigPatriot, I have a question about my visa application and i wanted to know if it is possible to dm you. Thanks

Aishat89:
Good morning everyone in the house, I want to know if a personal domiciliary account can be tendered for self proof of fund or only they only approve a naira account for POF

It can be tendered. As long as it covers twice the estimated fees in your I20

walepepe21:


Sorry about your denial today dear brother. It is not your lack experience at all that got you denied rather than what you uttered/told the VO and what you filled inside your DS-160 that made up the decision you got today. More than 70% of fresh graduate like you are even attending embassy this Fall 21 mostly than those that have graduated like 3 years etc.

I actually do not know how you filled your DS-160 as that will depict your profile clearly to the VO but I saw that you have a weak responses like when the VO asked you that why did you chose LSU. As for me I would have expect you to start with this statement that ‘’Coupled with the fact that you are awarded a $12,000 scholarship which you are grateful for OR In addition to the fact that you got a scholarship of $12,000 you will also be working with prof XYZ who’s keen on having me in his research team…….’’

VO know actually know most people consider a part is because of funding which is the first thing that is utmost for any student before you consider your yearnings and aspirations which is research you will be doing(if you’re passionate though) and you add other things that will made up having a great learning outcome after the degree like your engagement in that particular research etc.

However, don’t give up at all as this is not the best time to do so as all you need is to be encouraged and book another interview after you’ve introspectively work on your weak responses/points. I will also advice you to have work on why you chose LSU as that question is constant K. First of all talk about funding , secondly talk about the research you will be doing and thirdly talk about your engagement in that lab and finally talk about the uniqueness of your school like my school is an R-1/R-2 etc.

Finally , I pray you get it in your next attempt please don’t let the decision you got today weigh you down as it’s hard I understand but all you need to do is to go back to the drawing board and work on those things others and I told you here.

Thank you and God bless you

Thanks man. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll work on those points.

I discussed about this some few days ago. You can check my previous comment. Someone had a similar issue so let me advice you on what he did. The outcome was positive. Send an email to the school. Explain to them you were refused a visa due to this error.
They will correct the student funding part on your I20 to family funds and send you a new I20. Then go ahead to reapply but make sure you do not change any information you filled previously on your DS160 so it does not appear you are trying to beat the system. With this, you can easily explain to the VO in your next interview what you assume was the reason you were denied the last time.

KCVLB:
Good day all,
Great Job what you guys are doing.

Quick one, i applied for a F1 visa, sadly i was denied few days ago, before my interview date, i noticed my school made a mistake in my i20, by putting "personal funds" instead of family funds,as my source of funding. The interview was going well, until i was asked how am i going to pay for my trip, and i said my dad, immediately she typed for some seconds and handed me the blue slip.

Now, i have been working as a banker for about 3 years, i have saved some funds, and my bank statement shows a tranx count of about 30mill in about 1year, although closing bal is about 2m now.

Should i fill a new ds160 and maintain the personal funds and maybe i can expalin to the VO that i will he funding the trip then my dad can help out id need be? Or i should mail my school asking them to change my i20?

Please guys your inputs are appreciated.

Thank you very much, but what if I look for an immediate family member with the same surname may be getting a loan approval letter from bank will that be okay?

my I-20 also had personal funds along with many people I know what had their visas approved. Personal funds just means money that’s coming from your end (weather family or your money), then assistantship/scholarship is money they’re giving you.

Probably best to change your school to one that has offers a major in Laboratory science instead of general studies.

I think VOs are tired of hearing that I did extensive research online sumtin...say it in a completely different way while u pass d same message.

A follow up on question 15 so why not Europe where u can get a quality comparable to US at a cheaper cost...teasing..not sure ull be asked this

I like that u are prepared for all sort of question but I think u should prepare more for d kind of questions people have shared based on their visit to d embassy. Were u asked this kind of questions at ur first interview? My guess is you might be asked similar questions to test for consistency in your response.
