Hello,

Thank you all for all the good work, I will really appreciate an answer to this.

I will be sponsoring my self for my programme.

My source of income is crypto/ forex trading.

So I want to know, when asked my source of income, if its a RED FLAG to say forex/crypto.

Rapture07:
Pls I need advice I have a residence visa from bostwana, so I was asking if its better to apply for US study visa in bostwana or Nigeria

beejhay69:
OK.

mojolajesu:
Hello All,

I see a number of guys that are recently denied complaining that couldn't get another date. Well, from my experience, you have to keep checking till the date shows up oo. I don't advise you to choose the regular option, you definitely don't want to blow up your opportunity again.

It took me about 14 days of constantly checking to see Sept 2022. I chose the date and applied for EA which got approved yesterday.

NB: I was denied December 1st in Lagos and my new application is in Abuja.

Tinafusty:

Ok, does that mean no other money reflected on your I-20 form except the scholarship awarded $2500 ?

Hello everyone, Happy Holidays
So I need to know your thoughts and advise
In 2018 after youth service I applied for a tourist visa
My purpose of travelling was to attend my brother graduation in Texas A&M university kingsville with my mum she got her visa to travel a month before my interview as she has travelled the previous year
I was denied
You shouldn't have listed any of your relatives in US because they've their database on how they migrate. So you have to be on your own since you are going for studies. It will be perfect if your mum is sponsoring you as you can see he gave you a green light. So my advice here is just pray sincerely to Almighty Creator as He control all hearts.
Fast Forward to 2021 I got admitted to Texas A&M university kingsville for spring session for Masters in Industrial management
My background
No funding
First Degree:Animal science
Total cost : 29,367
My interview was last month in Dec 2021
I was denied
V.O:Good Morning
Me :Good morning sir
V.O:I see you going to Texas A&M university Kingsville for Engineering management right
Me:I replied Industrial management
V.O:Okay
V.O:So your first degree was animal science and your current working in real estate management and now you want to study industrial how does that fit
Me- I replied I work as an agricultural sales consultant where I source clients looking to invest in agricultural lands to develop agricultural projects and the application of industrial management will give me the leverage to take up a higher managerial roles in agricultural institutes like the Federal Ministry of Agriculture as there is a big push to diversify the economy towards agriculture
V.O: Oh that good
V.O: So who is your sponsor
Me: My Aunt
V.O:Why your aunt and not your Parents
Me: She always ensured I get the right education to improve my career
V.O:what does she do
Me: she is a registered Nurse
V.O:In Nigeria or the US
Me: U.S
V.O:In Texas
Me:No in Chicago
V.O : Sorry you don’t qualify for this visa try next time
I have Deferred the admission for fall session I was looking at getting financial aid. But I have a GPA of 3.74 and I got a Gre score of 278 which was waived. I was told it low by someone and chances of getting funding won’t be possible
N.B: My aunt is a U.S citizen and I used her statement to get out my 1-20 because my mum statement didn’t have the complete balance but would be complete this coming fall so my mum will be my sponsor the next time
I don’t know where I got it wrong another thing bothering me is my brother is in U.S currently working but not in Texas does this limit my chances on my next trial .
Because on my DS -160 Form my brother is there also .
Please I need advice on what can improve my chances on my next trial as I heard changing school is a Red flag

Osof:
Good day. My original place of appointment was abuja. I requested for surge date in lagos and it was approved and I went for the interview which was denied. I still have my appointment in abuja intact on my page. Has anyone experienced this. The appointment was not cancelled. Should I cancel it myself or should I go for the interview on the appointment date.

Duisburg:

Something is wrong somewhere. You can email the consulate. While you do that, if you haven't been denied visa before, switch to Abuja, pick any available date and apply for Emergency there. They should give you.

lokoventurex1:
Good day good people.

Please guys advice. I now have an admission for my graduate studies for Fall 2022. My I-20 form has also gotten to me and it reads August 22 as program starting day.

When is the best time to apply for visa ?

And do I go about it, from SEVIS fee payment, MRV and the rest ?

Help a brother bikonu...

Systrom:
Na you use your hand deny yourself visa

You shouldn’t have said your wife is a co-sponsor

By the way, when the VO asked you what you do for a living, what did you say?

bukhety:
If you apply to the University of Florida, fall 2022, pls let's connect.
Thanks

Amenndmore:


i highly disagree with this, being self sponsored is very risky, i did it my first interview and i think it was the cus of of my denial, its better she leaves in her account and have her as your sponsor only.

Gokoyer1401:
Yes, I am here. Just patiently waiting for decisions to be released. All the best to us.

Muleriders:


That was what I had. I was admitted and graduated.

Evaluate your undergrad grade with WES

Systrom:
Why is being self sponsored very risky ? If the person is buoyant to sponsor his or herself

What is wrong ?

SeyImperial:
Please advise,
I hope to share my transcript on this forum.
Im going for interview for F2 visa by January with 3 kids. My husband is F1 and he left August 2021. But in 2016 I had applied for a Visit visa B1/B2 to attend a trade conference which was denied. No other application since then. I used my maiden name on the application then, even though I had gotten married since 2010.
How best can I answer a question asking why I did not indicate that I was married in my previous application?

GreatUniben:
Make sure you build on your home tie, such as a credible job, land or house. Tie your responses around your home tie. What is important in F2 visa is
1. Funding
2. Home tie
3. Plans for your children

Keep this four things in mind, build on them and thank me latter.

Gokoyer1401:
Good day boss,
I have a question, what if my wife will be a dependent( going with me) in my application, is it safe to mention her as a co sponsor or not?

Systrom:
If she is a dependent (F2)
You are good to go

billygreg:
Please who has an idea of any US school that don’t require IELTS test score? And GRE waiver if possible.

dubsy20:
Please when someone tries to create a profile to schedule and appointment and gets the error message “Your request cannot be processed at this time. The site Admin has been alerted”. What could be the possible cause as the email address has not been used to create any profile before now.
