Visa approved with just 3 questions!!!

1. Who is funding you
My school and uncle

2. What does he do
Real estate developer

3. What will you do when you return
Come back to my current employer here in Nigeria,

Didn’t listen to all those instructions cos I was surprised, he didn’t even listen to the last answer and handed me the white paper

God factor I keep on saying this is involved, however prepare like your life depends on it.

I saw blue print like 15 before mine and my heart skipped to my mouth , but I kept on singing this song ‘O lord my God, when I’m in awesome wonder; How Great thou art’, and my VO God assigned to me just said to me, you come!!!!


I want to specially thank God for his mercies that never comes to an end, but new every morning and great is his faithfulness.

I won’t forget to thank some key guys here, who have been quite contributing to all of our enquiries, God bless you all and keep on doing good.


QUESTION
Please, I need an assistance, what platform is the best and cheapest to book for my travel , I am going to Atlanta Georgia, God bless us all

Do what exactly?

DISCLAIMER: This post is meant for genuine students.

There is no doubt that Grace plays a big role I'm getting an approval.

However, let's not attribute everything to grace and fail to see the emerging pattern here.

The VOs do NOT want to deny you a Visa. Infact, they want to approve you but the law and their training dictates that they assume you are an immigrant till you prove you aren't. So when you're denied, they are not saying 'Bleep off, we don't want you in our country' it's more like 'I believe you're trying to illegally immigrate, try the legal immigration route instead or convince me that you're a non-immigrant'.

This hurts me so much because I've seen genuine students denied because of the sins of visa abusers.

Now to the concept of ties, You must have ties to Nigeria to be considered a non-immigrant.

You see some of these people with Jobs they have worked at for more than 3 years with a work leave getting approved? Yes, it's grace but it's also Work ties.
For instance, today I saw a woman get approved who has been at a workplace for 15 years, and trust me her interview wasn't spectacular. Infact, she wasn't even vibing with the VO, but she had strong work ties and the program she was going for was plausibly going to improve her career. Hence, she was approved.

So if you're Jobless, are you screwed? Not necessarily.
Family ties - Are you married? Do you have older family members depending on you for care?(please be careful about telling fantastical stories that the VO would call bullshit on immediately)
What of dependent children?
Demonstrating that you have family in Nigeria you can't possibly abandon helps your case.

Social ties - Do you lead an an organization here in Nigeria that would suffer in your prolonged absence? Are you a prominent member of your community that a lot of people depend on? What of your church or political party? Is there anything there that would compel you to return?

Try as you may, some people may not have plausible ties.
Then your plans for the future come into play.
What steps have you taken to secure your future in Nigeria (at the completion of your program) ?
You may have no ties now to Nigeria but you can be able to convince the VO that you plan to return by applying for a position here in Nigeria that would be provisionally accepted pending your program completion. (This is just an example).

If you have no ties or plausible compelling future plans, then your profile becomes really important.

Young, straight outta high school applying to a bachelors? Likely genuine student, more likely to be approved than someone in their late 20s, 10 years out of high school, being doing a 'computer diploma program' in the interim applying for the same bachelors.

Mid 20s, recently graduated (best months after graduation), going for a masters in a course related to their bachelors, likely to be approved regardless of ties compared to someone in their 30s, years post bachelors, masters in sth totally unrelated and no career benefit.

My point is Grace plays a huge role but we need to learn to analyze people's profiles when they are approved.

Check in this order
1. Ties
2. Plans
3. Profile

Hello Guys,

Please I need clarification on an issue.

I was Denied Emergency application next week Saturday in Lagos. But I noticed that my emergency appointment request button was restored so I sharply cancelled my Lagos appointment and booked another appointment in Abuja with the same MRV. To my greatest suprise I was still able to request for another Emergency application but I realized that the reschedule button was removed.

So my concern right now is if what I have done is appropriate and should be hopefully or I should just proceed to pay for another visa fee and defer my admission to spring 2020?

I need your input guys.

Thank you.

pufframmy:

Good Day all. Please kindly give the best advise.
I filled my DS-160 form without submitting because I have deferred my admission till January 2022 since there was no date to reapply for Fall 2021. I have been waiting for my updated I-20 to update my DS-160 but now it is over 30 days I filled the DS160 form. I cannot retrieve the form anymore for update and I have used the DS 160 Reference number to pick interview date in December 2021. What can I do without making payment for another VISA FEE? Is there anyway I can fill new DS-160 and LINK it with the initial one?
Please advise
