Please does anyone know if Lagos has available dates before January?

Babatill2023:

To get an emergency appointment,SEVIS fee is required. They made exceptions at Lagos embassy during this period and people were given appointments after filling the emergency form. Those called for interview today were 57.
I think they are still following the normal template at Abuja.
I would advise you switch to Lagos if you want to get an emergency appointment without paying SEVIS fee.
Again,you might be sent a mail that your emergency request has been approved just few days to the scheduled date.
I would advise you get your SEVIS fee paid since you would be paying it anyways.
Some people didn't go for their interviews today because they couldn't pay their SEVIS fee.

Babatill2023:
Visa Approved.

My interview was by 8:00m but I got there by 5:29am. I met 6 people there already waiting and I joined them. When it was some minutes to 6am,a woman asked us why came this early and we told her some of us had appointment by 6am,she was so shocked. She said she was expecting 7am as the earliest time for appointments.
So,she took her time before she started attending to us. We were asked to line up and we did security check before we started going inside the building in 5.
The V.O denied the first two ladies. They were married and working. Only one came with her kid. The 6 people that followed were given. Two were going for undergraduate,one PhD and 3 masters. Three have started their courses online.
I was the 9th person that was attended to.
V.O :- Good morning
Me:- Good morning (I passed my passport,I-20 and SEVIS fee confirmation page).
V.O:- Where are you going?
Me:- I am going to Georgia state university for my master's degree in Chemistry.
V.O:- Why this school?
Me:- The university has a strong reputation for research, innovation and diversity, I believe it would be an exciting place to be as I would be offered varieties in (he cuts me)
V.O:- Tell me things I can not find on the school website. You are telling me things you crammed from the school website
Me:-( Looking at him without saying anything because I was so confused)
V.O:- How many schools did you apply to?
Me:- Six
V.O:- Name them
Me:- Marquette university,Texas Tech, Bowling Green, Auburn university,Ohio university and GSU.
V.O:- Did Marquette give you admission?
Me:- No
V.O:- What about Auburn and others?
Me:- Only GSU gave me admission.
V.O:- oooooh I see, Which University did you finish from?
Me:- Federal University of Technology Minna.
V.O:- Who will pay for your deficit ($15,000)
Me:- My brother
V.O:- What does he do?
Me:- He has big store where be sells food stuffs and provisions in wholesale and also.has trucks for transportation business.
V.O:- Okay(types for some minutes). I intend to approve your visa,we are having problems with our reciprocity fee payment,you will have to come back tomorrow to pay it. Thank you
Me:- You are welcome ( I was shocked when he told me thank you,I said you are welcome in reflex).
He didn't ask me for any documents.
Solihp and Iwriteng,I am joining you guys.

Congrats once again brother!!! The question I have is how does one calculate deficits for a scholarship and TA already guaranteed?

Michael820:
Hello house,

I have a some question as regards visa appointment, I recently filled the email notification form someone shared for Lagos NIV so as to get notified of new appointment in Lagos Embassy, but when i saw some open spaces for application at abuja embassy i decided to change my venue to Abuja so i could pick the earliest date and request for an emergency appointment.

Now here's my problem, I just got a mail from Lagos Niv that they have schedule an appointment for me for oct 20, but when i checked my portal i can only see my abuja appointment for march 3rd.

I am just very confused right now, should i cancel the abuja appointment and go and repay the application fee or the application fee can still be used for the Lagos Appointment.

Thanks

Please guys... I have a question that needs urgent answer. I'm going for a 3 years course in nursing for spring 2021. My passport will expire in 2022. I'm about to fill my Ds160 form but I'm confused on what they said about the 6months validity. Please, can someone explain this to me in clear terms. Thank you

solastar2:
Hello all, I need your opinion. In my form I-20, my major was written as "Engineering, General" instead of Chemical Engineering. What do you think is advisable for me to write in my form DS160? Engineering or Chemical Engineering

ofspain:

Please guy, I wrote GRE with a score of 311(verbal: 152, quant: 159) I wish to apply for PhD in chemical engineering in the USA. I have 3.15 in my undergraduate and 64% in my MSC, please what chances do I stand?

A Nigerian friend who has Germany residency applied about a month ago. He was granted F1 Visa from Germany. He resumed at ULL on 6th August precisely for his PhD.



I really hope they give you the visa, except you're in a EU country (even EU self no sure). Most Nigerians that applied for their F1s outside Nigeria, particularly from mid 2018 till early 2020 before the pandemic, got refused and were advised to go to Nigeria to apply. You can try and see how it goes. However, you can use the pandemic as a strong defense as to why you did not travel to Nigeria to apply for the visa, and especially because embassy in Nigeria is closed and your program is starting soon. I hope it turns out well. I'd love to hear about the interview. Do mention me and update.
Good luck.

Same here, Affordable test is now sorting out the issues at hand..Anyway, I knew something went wrong just that he was not patient enough to explain to us..or Perhaps we bombarded him too much with derogatory comments..He is now resolving the issues one after the other. He is on my own about to get it done.. Please, whatever notions or perception we have had about him is wrong..He is genuine and not a scammer..Moral Lesson: Patience is virtue. We all learn everyday. Let’s make sure we came back to acknowledge it when he got our issues resolved. The disdain comments we made about it should be reversed when he resolved our issues. #Shalom

You are very right, I heard we might be moved to another location which is on the island (Not sure though). We need to plan so that we don't end up getting accommodation around iganmu and Fbn later moves us to the island (I don't know how far ikoyi is from the island because I am not based in Lagos). We need more suggestions guys.
