sorry about it once again. From these answers, to the best of my knowledge, his job should prove home tie. (I'm guessing he was denied based on 214b btw. The form given to him will usually detail the exact reason). Maybe he was just unlucky to meet a VO who's determined. Gurus in the house can help look further into the situation.
Better luck next time

querida:
Thanks
Works in a bank for 10 years now.
He intended to come over for a month. That"s what he filled in the ds160.

How can we show home ties for him. He went with documents showing proof of Job and even lands. But couldn't even present it. We are just looking for what to do better next time.

Sorry about the denial. The VO probably does not trust that he will return to the country. He is the home tie you have, and with him coming over too, VO thinks there's no sufficient home time.
What kinda job does he do?
how long has he been doing the job?
how long did he fill on the ds160 as intended duration of stay?
who was suppose to sponsor his trip?

Lot of things VO may have seen in the ds160 that won't make him/her ask many questions during interview. Answers to these questions may help guide on way forward.

Hello everyone. Here is my spouse's transcript.applied for F2 and was denied.

Date: 16th February , 10 am
Location: Lagos


Me: good morning
Vo:good morning and how are you
Me:fine
Vo:what type of visa are you applying for
Me:f2 dependent visa
( Faced difficulties in accessing document online. He keep on checking. Took him a while.)
Vo: Your only child is with her mother in US?
Me: Yes, I want to go and visit them and afterwards return back to resume my job and business here in Nigeria.
Vo:have you traved before
Me:No I haven't had reason to however I need to go see my wife and daughter then return back to resume my job and business here in nigeria.
Vo:sorry, you are not qualified. try some other time



Please, I'll like to know what went wrong, advice on how to go about it the next time and how soon to try again.

I'm a masters student. On my I-20, my start date is Jan2019 to December 2022. I'm also on full assistantship .

You should be ok. However, you can still go on to ask your school for a week resumption extension permission letter and take along to the embassy to play it safe.

Kingbeeeee101:
Good morning guys. Pls my school (graduate school) is resuming for spring by January 9 and my visa interview is dec 28th. Will I have an issue with how close the interview date is to resumption? Should I be worried?

Be careful what you fill in this section because it goes a long way to prove home ties. Some people don't get asked many questions during their visa interview simply because the v.o already saw in their ds160 that they are/have not been doing anything which make it looks like going to the US is a way to Japa. If u get what I mean.

Beansguy:



please i am waiting for a response

In addition to what you mentioned, often times when VOs don't ask much question during the interview, they probably have seen sufficient information from the ds160 you filled to reject you.

bigfrancis21:


The issue here is probably with your school. Wright State University seems to be frowned upon at the embassy and it has low approval ratings at the embassy. Change your school and try again.

I am guessing your appointment was one of those cancelled in march due to the pandemic. If yes, what you need to do is fill another ds160 and go on to schedule a new appointment. You will be able to use the same mrv.

omofolajomi:
Please guys i am so sorry to bother anyone, but if you have answers to my question please reply

I submitted my Ds 160 feb 2020, because my initial appointment was due for march
And i want to apply for another visa, how do i go about it, does that mean i have to pay for another visa fee or can i still reuse the same ds 160

I think the usual advice regarding SOA is to ensure that the balance is at least 2x the requirement on i20. Also, personal accounts are often preferred to corporate accounts.

BGodsonMay:
Please house, a friend of mine needs help on what to do;

She was denied Visa last month. Her sponsor's account is a corporate account with the exact amount as with her 1 year estimated cost.
Now, she will be having her second interview in December but she's contemplating on whether to get a statement of account from someone else with a personal account and a higher available balance or she should stick with the initial statement she took to the previous one that she got denied. She doesn't have any funding from the school.

Please, everyone's contribution is welcomed to this as she's very confused about what to do. Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks, really appreciate your comment.

sonofakin:
The way I see it, your US SOA must have come from savings from your funding. Your funding is meant to support you and you alone ideally. Using that SOA has an undertone that both of you want to be living on stipends from your funding. It is just the way I see it. My suggestion: 1. I think you mentioned that the deficit is 5k. Is your wife employed? Why not build her own account. So when asked, she can say she has saving of $**** and then her mother-in-law is also going to support her. 2. If you can renew your Visa this year in maybe Mexico, do it. 3. Let her work on the reply to the first question. "I want to support my husband" seem ambiguous. It might mean "I want to be working to support him". Why not "I am going to bla bla bla to be with my husband "
However, these things are subjective sometimes; V.O dependent, so we can never know

I'm sure others might have their comments

sonofakin:
I think you should share her transcript so people can comment on what might have gone wrong. Also, I don't think you should use your US account.

according to what she reported to me, the conversation was like this(only 3 questions)
**after the initial greetings and biometrics***
V.O: why are u going to the US
She: I am going to support my husband who's currently having his PhD at (name of sch)
(v.o confused the i20 as F1 and she corrected him it's F2 - maybe cos of my own copy that she also took along)
V.O: Do you have any kid(s)
she: No
V.O: who is sponsoring you?
she: my mother-in-law
V.O: sorry you do not qualify...(214b reason)
***No further questions, no documents checked***

can u pls say why u think using my US SOA is not cool?

guys pls help me reason this and suggest the better option.

my spouse was recently denied F2 visa at Lagos embassy. For that interview my mum was used as the sponsor for the deficit(deficit here is only the money needed for the dependent) cos I'm on F1 with full funding and stipend. Now, the issue is while planning to try again for the F2 much later, is it ok if I'm presented as the sponsor rather than my mum? I can provide sufficient SOA(US account + 9ja account) or just still use my mum (can provide sufficient SOA too). I am asking this cos someone mentioned that using my mum as her(my spouse) sponsor may be a factor in the F2 refusal.

If my own SOA is used, we plan she'll tell the VO that, "he got funding which covers his tuition + monthly stipend and in addition, he had worked for about 7 years before leaving for grad studies and has saved enough to cover for the deficit".

What do you guys think? I am trying to tie all loose ends ahead of her next interview.

I still await your suggestions pls. @fairheart, @walspring, others too

Abone2:
My wife encountered a similar issue today at the Lagos embassy. She said she was only asked the question about having a kid or not and she replied No then the next question was about who's your sponsor and she replied mother-in-law and the next thing was sorry...with the blue paper. I strongly suspect the reason has to do with home ties. No documents was checked.

@fairheart and other gurus in the house, please help look at this situation and suggest possible way forward.
I am on F1 with funding and only about 5k deficit cos of the dependent. I left 9ja in 2019, my visa will expire in Jan 2021 and with the F2 denial my wife got today, what can we do?

I was thinking, do we stand a chance if I travel to 9ja by Dec and schedule for my visa renewal and possibly schedule to go together with my wife this time but my fear is, what if I get denied(I wont be able to return to US to continue my studies) since both of us are planning to leave together. Even if I visit Mexico or Canada for the renewal, same issue may still arise. Challenge now is, what is way forward for my wife. reapply asap or chill. Suggestions are appreciated

Shehuroj:
Hello guys, please I need your advice.

My wife and daughter were denied F-1 & F-2 today at Lagos embassy due to weak ties to Nigeria since I (husband) is already in the US on F-1 visa. She has a very strong sponsor with more than required money on financial statement of account, but they didn't check it. She was asked about her workplace, which Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital and how long she has been working there (2 years). She said the VO told her I will deny your visa due to ties to back Nigeria and issued them yellow form.
However, since they also approve F-2 for families of recent, is it wise for them to shift to F-2? What is their chance of approval? Or they should reapply for F-1 & F-2 again?

Your timely response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

I would say he should take his antibiotics religiously and abstain from sex all thru the treatment period

Chinedu6125:
Hello house, I score 300 in my GRE... Verbal 152, quantitative 148,essay 4....and also tofel 105, can I get funding with this score CGPA 4.65(futo)

Yes u can. Make sure ur application is submitted early enough so u can b considered for funding and if need be also ask ur Dept if there's any form of funding u can get(that's after u are admitted). All the best

Thank you

Sorry guys, can someone enlighten me abt this yellow card of a thing. Is it compulsory for all travellers? If yes, how does one get it and the cost? Thanks

Try mecure. Their price is fair and results from them are usually accepted at hospitals.

Best wishes.

Sorry abt the loss. May God heal u and grant u a successful carry soon.

So Mama s I finally lost the pregnancy on Thursday.

I started spotting on wed evening so rush to hospital dat night no doctor so the next morning d bleeding became much so d Dr now said we have to evacuate it.



So am back to square one

Hello, does anyone have an idea of the price for testosterone test(men)?

Any suggestions on lab to get it done too?
Thanks

Incase u are travelling through Ethiopian airways, ur attention is needed.

I agree with u. I had a Skype interview too thou it wasn't part of the admission process but I'm sure it influenced the admission decision cos the interview was with a prof I requested to assist in research and he advised I update my admission file to indicate that I have spoken with him.

Oasishavenng:


Your question was actually very inappropriate, basically you are asking her if she was was actually lying. Skype interview is not an anomaly in graduate admissions. She was even gracious enough to answer you and instead of you to apologize you still said easy madam as if she responded out of turn.
Really not cool

Maryam3:
Good afternoon everyone. I've been following this thread for a while now and I really want to appreciate everyone for theiir contributions towards the purpose of this site. I have a question please

IS IT OKAY TO MENTION THE FACT THAT MY SCHOOL GAVE ME CHEMISTRY INSTEAD OF BIOLOGY THAT I APPLIED FOR DURING MY INTERVIEW? I have Chemistry on my admission letter instead of Biology

I want to know if I won't be complicating myself when I'm infront of the VO since I can change it back to biology when I resume school.

Thank you

Notify ur sch international office or the i20 office of the mistake at hand and they will likely send u a letter on letter head to address it if there's limited time or update and resend another i20 if there's still time. I had a similar issue but I didn't later use the letter(that was when I was going to d embassy)

cherishyy:


Clomiphene 100mg (2 tablets) x 2 daily for 5 days

M2-Tone 1 tablet x 2 daily

Vit. E 1 softgel (Probably 1000IU) once daily

Tab. Folic Acid 1 tablet daily.

Take care

Thank you. God bless

Tripletwins222:



Ayam not a pharmacist but from my little knowledge, M2tone is usually taken 1x2 daily, Vit. E dosage depends on the iu or mg. Vit E 1000iu and 400iu are to be taken 1 tab once daily while Vit. E 100mg is to be taken 1x2 daily.

Thanks. Here is the one I got. 100mg

Hello [url]hyperlink removed[/url]

Tripletwins222:


No! Both can't go together. You can either go for clomid or banana recipe as both of them boost ovulation. Banana recipe is just d natural way while clomid is orthodox. After clomid, u can start taking your normal prenatal multivitamins. Ensure u add separate vitamin e and c to help with cervical mucus because clomid usually dries up cervical mucus even if it helps u to ovulate. But, hope you're being monitored while on it?

Baby dust to u sis...

Yes, it was my gyn who prescribed clomid. Thank you for the response.

Abone2:
Can someone who is already on 50mg clomid for 5days try this banana recipe?

Someone Pls help with an answer. Thanks
