So if I complete my interview and get my visa in Lagos, can I book my international flight and takeoff from Abuja??

Heard it somewhere, sometime ago that it cannot happen.

And while we’re at it, how safe do y’all think it is to be admitted to a university in Michigan, but to land in Texas to visit a friend for a week before school (so he can help me setup my phone and bank account). Is it grounds to be denied entry at the port of entry

I need people’s experiences

chibertha:
yes to airlines that have flights originating from Nigeria and also have offices here.

Ohhh thanks. I actually tried travelbeta but it redirected me to delta airlines official website which payment as to be made in dollar.
Delta is the only one i saw that’s going direct to her destination.. would have been nice if i can make the payment in naira, cos it will most likely be a cheaper option as compare to using a dollar card.

Please don't land at the wrong POE.

If this is for you, did you have any transcript prepared, prior to this interview!?

It is usually advised that, people should try their best possible to avoid generic answers.

Aside from the admission and the scholarship given to me, the course curriculum at Missouri state university are well aligns with my career goals.

The highlighted text is too vague and generic! What are your career goals that aligns with their curriculum?

Furthermore, you didn't sell your father enough. You could have mentioned some big real estate companies that he supplies wood to or other popular buildings he supplied wood for the construction of. Also, you failed to mention his annual income. Except you intentionally omitted it from this transcript. Just like someone asked, what's your Cost of Attendance? Did you get any scholarship?

Lastly, I don't know if your statement of account is airtight, so that could be why you were denied.

While it’s okay to have a connecting flight to your final destination through another city, don’t go and tell CBP official at the POE that you are going to see a friend first oo

Where you book your flight and take off doesn't matter. But Lagos is the main takeoff for almost all international flight

Winas2:

That was then. You can take off at most International airports like Port Harcourt and Abuja.

Oooo thank you so much. This means alot truly.
Please aside from your i20 and your payment receipt, what supporting document did u attached when requesting via the CGI portal? And what was your convincing writeup like?
So sorry for the long questions, please...
And thank you for your kind response...🙏🏽

Please I need your help.
I have a brother is a US Citizen. while completing my DS 160 I did not include his name. What do I do. How do I answer questions relating to siblings during my interview.

Hannaleeyah:
Please anyone here studying in Wingate University?

I often apply for Scholarships,so yesterday,I recieved a congratulations email that based on my achievements, I've been offered a $27,000 worth scholarship in Wingate University.

I have some questions;

1. How valid is the school and scholarship,who knows about that or who can help with that?

2. In the email, it's said that I'd pay $300 as enrollment deposit,is that how it's done?

Please I need your words.

Quick one. You were not offered a scholarship. All they are saying is you qualify to apply for a scholarship. In other words apply for it, if you lucky you may get some $$$ if not try again another year.

I only attached my i20. I just wrote that I am going to study xx program and my program starts at xx but my initial schedule date won’t allow me to meet that start date and this will thwart my career trajectory. It’s against this backdrop that I am applying for an emergency appointment to meet my admission date.

Please guys I need help.

I initially got an assistantship offer and requested an I-20 from the school and proceeded with paying my Sevis and booking a visa appointment,
But then I just got a better assistantship offer from my Dream school.

I have requested for an I-20 from the new school where I got funded.

Plus what do I do next?
Can I change my Sevis No. in the CGI website from the old Sevis number I originally submitted to the one in my new I-20 from my dream school?

And how do I go about it ?

I haven’t submitted my Ds-160 form yet

Please help a brother with steps to take. Thank you in advance!

If your Brother has ever filled your name in any form before while he was moving to the USA, it's in your best interest to go and fill a new DS-160 and include his name in your DS-160. The VOs have these information at their fingertips and if they ask you about it (do you have a family member in the US?) during your interview, they are trying to see if you will lie about it and if you do, that alone is grounds for visa denial.

Talk to your Brother.
- Has he ever filled your name on any form ?
- Has he previously overstayed a visa prior to getting citizenship ?
- Does he have a clean record in the US ?
- Has he filed for you before?

Answering the above questions will guide you as to how to prepare to the eventuality of being asked about your family members in the US.
