Na so.
When you meet some Nigerians in diaspora, you will realize that it's in them to hide info. They will even give you wrong info to confuse you. They will lie about their place of work and etc. I just tire. One was even saying he got admission in 'bleep University'

Hmm some....
Okay I like that you used "some"

Good day everyone,
Please I need your advise and suggestion on what to do.
My visa interview is on the 17th of February 2022 at the Abuja Embassy. However my program started on the 10th of January 2022, I could not get an earlier date, all emergency appointment dates request were denied, I even had to pay the MRV fees twice.
I am just wondering if there is an issue with attending a scheduled study visa appointment 4 weeks after the program start date.

Bowling Green state University
Msc in Construction management Technology.
I had to defer from fall 2021 to January 2022 because there were no dates last year and my emergency appointment request were not approved.
I can not defer the second time, I have to apply afresh if I do not get the chance to attend this interview
Thanks

Please can you share how you were able to get multiple visa appointments in such close proximity? I need it. I learnt the embassy doesn't grant emergency appointments once you've been refused within 6 months. Is it through visa agents? How does this work please?

emmanuelle27:
Do you have a PR in Germany?? your transcript isn't detailed but I'm guessing that you're in Germany on a work visa, if that's the case then you have no strong ties in Germany, I'm guessing that it might be more beneficial for you to apply from NG. My opinion, na V.O get final decision.

I am a Masters student and I am on student residence permit

Hello all.
Is there any way I can pay for my SEVIS fee with either my naira Master card or dollar Master card?

I heard it's only those in USA that can help pay for this. Is that true? But I don't have anyone in USA. What should I do actually?

You can not use any 9ja card. Just in the USA.

We have guys here that can ‘help out’, ofc with a ‘charge’.

Walspring or so (not sure if I wrote the username well) is a well known guy for SEVIS payment, you can reach out to him; and if you can’t get in touch, I can help reach out to someone that can also help, so you can DM. Lemme be your LAST option sha.

Shalom!

Hello guys,

I need your input on this. I'm sorry, it's going to be a long one, kindly bear with me:

I currently have an active immigration case as my dad filed for me to immigrate into the US. This should come to fruition hopefully in a couple of years.

I've always planned to do a masters in my field as soon as I immigrated but since the pandemic struck and everything slowed down, I feel like I should no longer just sit and wait for that.

I have gotten an admission into a respectable US graduate school of my top choice (still looking for funding) and plan to apply for a student visa.
My plan is to come back to Nigeria for my immigrant visa interview when it reaches my turn, I do not mind that at all. I'm hoping that will happen before my 2-year MSc is over.
I want to get a masters in US specifically because that is where I plan to settle and a US degree will help secure jobs better and faster than degrees from another country

I just don't want to keep my career stagnant because of an unfortunate pandemic causing a lot of backlog for my immigration stuff as I'm in the best phase of my life and career to take this step.

I will like to add that I have previously gotten a B1/B2 visitors visa which I used once all while waiting for the immigrant visa. I had thought then too that they wouldn't grant the visitors visa because of my pending immigration stuff but they did. The visa officer just made sure to remind me not to mess up or overstay because that will negatively affect my immigration case.

Also, I am contemplating applying for a renewal of my visitors visa before applying for the student visa since I qualify for their new 'no interview, drop box' renewal. This is because regardless of whether my student visa is approved or not, I will like to visit my family freely without breaking their rules.

My questions are:
1. What do you guys think my chances of getting the student visa approved are?
2. Should I bother with the renewal of visit visa?
3. If my visit visa is approved and my student visa is refused after, will they cancel my visit visa that was approved?
4. If my visit visa is refused, will that negatively affect my chances of getting the student visa in a few months after?

I'm going for MBA program at a university in LA. Can I get a loan from Mpower. My school is not affiliated . What can I do . .Please , advice.

Omo! You for no share this transcript at all. Not trying to hate but bro CARRY YOUR TRANSCRIPT GO TO ONE PLACE Alaye. Like, WE DON’T NEED IT HERE!!!!

You mean you’re still the ‘LOW’ to keep the school as anon?? Yeah, we’re not your family but sincerely we’re not proud of you as a Nigerian Youth, if you can be this ’BLEEP’ to “hide update” from your fellow Comrades.

Goodluck in your new adventures sha.

Hello bro,
I am applying for mechanical/industrial engineering at Texas A&M university.
I will be needing your assistance on some certain issues. So please drop your email so that we can talk further.

sbot:


Sure if their school is enlisted in mpower database.

Albeit, it isn’t advisable a PHD is run on loans as it is highly expensive. So many schools provide full funding for PHD.

Cheers!

Thanks

Hello Elders in the house, I have been trying to try to see if can look for masters or postgraduate diploma admissions into any US school but the whole process seem too confusing, please anybody that can help with a link for admission to US schools and a summary of the processes and please what are the chances of a 2012 2-2 graduate getting admitted in the US. Responses shall be appreciated.

I am aware that this thread contains so many pieces of information but it would be of great help if some of the most important information can be extracted out and possibly pinned at the beginning of the thread, just a suggestion.

You have to start your search from somewhere...google? Then based on that people would be willing to help you here. You are asking a very broad question that can be answered from google searches. Don't be lazy! I have lived in the US for over 15 years, and I also came in through a similar way (student visa).

dydx2020:

If your school is not in the list of schools that mpower accepted for student loan you can check prodigy finance to know if your school is in their own list because both mpower financing and prodigy finance are not considering any school that is not in their list.

Ezichi123:
As usual, I walked into the interview hall with the hope and believe that God will change my story the secondtime. I had my first US interview 3 years back on Visiting visa and this time around, I decided to go for F1. I applied for MBA at one private school in USA.
My one year estimation tuition and accommodation is $30,000 with $3000 scholarship from my school and my sponsoring bank statement of $34000.

Vo: good morning
Me : good morning

VO: Which school are you going to?
Me: University of ............

Vo: place your fingers for biometric
Me: Ok

Vo: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: My sponsor

VO: Where is the location of your company,?
Me: Germany

VO: Have you been to Italy?
Me: No, Italy is where our company is registered.

VO: You have travelled to Singapore?
Me: Yes

VO: How long was your stay?
Me: 1 year and 7 months. I have also been to Italy, Sweden

VO: How long have you stayed in Germany?
Me: 5 months

VO: OK

VO: was typing uninterrupted...........
Me: Looking at him with confidence

VO: I AM SORRY TO REJECT YOUR VISA AT TIS TIME. HE ISSUED ME A WHITE PAPER.
ME: THanks and goodbye.


Please, who can advise me on why I was rejected my visa. I have travelled to 6 countries. I was only one that was denied Visa among the number of white people that came for visa.

You seem to be contradicting yourself.

You first said you’ve not been to Italy. Then you said again that you’ve been to Italy.

Which is it?

I need urgent help please!
I don't have my expired passport anymore. Will this be an issue at the embassy

Forgot about going through the corners, if I were you, I'll go for F1 straight up, since I'm sure I didn't mess up my previous B1/B2 is they advised, I believe your F1 will be approved, besides the immigration stuff from your Dad is absolutely legitimate, no need to panic in my opinion

Since you can’t find it anymore, I’m sure there’s NOTHING you can do about it, and sure you would have to be there for your interview. Ofc, go ahead and face what they would to say. Highest would be delaying you by asking reason why “this and/or that” but trust me, they can’t stop you from the interview.

Goodluck Champ!

Please avoid unnecessary issues that can destabilize you at the embassy. Your Passport, just like any official document, is the government's property. Once it's stolen, misplaced, or for whatever reason, you don't have it anymore please go and get a police report and or an affidavit and take it to the embassy on your interview day

These oyibo people do not trust any kind of excuse or explanation. Avoid being delayed or sent back. Go with an affidavit and you will be let off the hook.
This is my 2 cents.
Thank you
