Gewezzy1:

Spring2019:
Is it safe to assume that those guys that were approved at abuja and later denied on the website had a problem with their statements? Probably not fake but they probably weren't satisfied with the flow of cash. This guy went to the same abuja, got approved and his status changed to issued. What was different?
I am confused. Why should a statement be legit and at the end, the applicant still gets refused

slamcole:
Answers please

fairheart:
Nobody can be sure how true what anyone at the embassy says. I'd advice you to run your race and carry your own cross. He has said it all: everybody's path is different.

IFearGod:
It does mean that they have done their confirmation and found it to be fake. VO wouldn't have been able to discover during the interview. You impressed him but the account statement bleeped you up.

Abiseundun:
Hello guys, I have to come out with the truth at this point

lasthero:
Another victim of wicked uncle / wicked agent.

Please I will beg all prospective applicants in the name of God or whatever deity you serve. Don't go near Abuja embassy with any of this two.

Hello house someone with useful information should pls respond. What's the best method your family back in naija can pay your tuition to your school in the US if you are not travelling with it for security reasons?

fairheart:
Your school in the US is in best position to suggest how money could be transferred. Please contact the centre for international students at your school. I am sure they will guide you. That's where you'll get the answer, not here.

Ubah1:
Sorry about the outcome of your interview. You can use emergency appointment. Just choose the current available date and request for emergency appointment but give it 2weeks before booking

LORRDDD:
The person that paid my sevis fee made a mistake in my date of birth. Instead of 27/5/92, they wrote 17/5/92. Any cause for alarm?

LagosismyHome:
What is there to doubt . Do you think people are so jobless to post false thing

This is something that has happened frequently this season ..... status changing to refused after AP .I can count more than 7 that have pm me.

As for the real reason. Only the embassy know exactly how the verification is done. It possible that there is a flaw in the way the verification is done that is affecting geninue bank statement or documents . I can't say for sure. But what I seen there have been a lot of status that started as approved and changed to refused and remained at refused this session .

dbalinga:
She gave me the white slip. Pick up your passport in 3 work days. Waow.....that was my 1st time at the US embassy.

Jpoppins:
Guys please I need help , the former ds 160 form I used to book my appointment for next week is no longer available cos I didn’t complete the form in 30 days, I want to fill another form today and update it on my appointment profile please will the two bar code correlate before I go for my interview or I’ll need to schedule another appointment date ?

100kobo:
Go ahead.

Gent009:
Pls guys very important what are the documents needed for clearance (CHECKPOINT) at the US embassy. Very urgent pls is birth certificate needed? Thanks

dbalinga:
I was amongst the 50% that got the visa today. Infact the guy before me got too. I was initially sceptical when i saw the young black American lady in glasses give the guy (after a tough drill). I walked confidently to Her, she looked through my passports, saw my travel history and current valid schegen visa. She drilled me on what I do in Nigeria, my job role as a trade marketing executive in a tobacco multinational and also about the tobacco sector in Nigeria. I gave her facts and figures. She also requested to know why I was travelling alone since I was married, told her we have a family vacation slated for December, wife and kids will be in Paris, while i join them from the United States. She gave me the white slip. Pick up your passport in 3 work days. Waow.....that was my 1st time at the US embassy.

Bunmip:
The interview date is still in two weeks. Do i need to reschedule appointment date after updating the profile?

Please, How do we know if the barcode on the ds160 matches the barcode on the scheduling confirmation appointment form?

Presently, I cant see any barcode on her ds160 pdf form we downloaded. How can we go about this?

decong:
I guess you were d one that sgowed me how to take bus to ikeja

Bunmip:
Please can someone help?

My cousin tried to fill a new DS160 today because she made some mistakes on the old one. I was with her during the registration for the new ds160 today. After the submission, She downloaded the ds160 in pdf form and then we went straight to update her profile on the scheduling site and we printed the appointment date form.
?

doublezero7:
I am really sorry to hear this sir.

Honestly, it could be frustrating. I guess you filled a new DS 160. The issue is that you didn't update it to your appointment page. I almost made the same mistake again yesterday. Had to mail them and I got a response that my confirmation number has been updated.

Really sorry. I am sure you'd be approved sir.

arTiculaTe01:
Yours will end in Praise too! Please elaborate on this Barcode issue: causes, effects and remedies...?

doublezero7:
2nd post.


Dazed, disappointed and scared! I couldn't even process my feelings. Couldn't go back to work, so i went straight home. The interview went very well. The decision to deny was just weird.

Got home. Headed for the shower...spent like half an hour there and all i just wanted to do was recap all that could have gone wrong. Then the VO last words came back. "I'd advice you go through our website to know more about the student visa procedures." Like that's a subtle way of saying " oga olodo, as old as you are, you did not do your due diligence!". Then i figured out what happened.

I filled a new DS-160 form and i didnt give it time to be updated to my profile. Called the customer service number and explained what happened. I was told that I should have allowed at least two working days after filling the DS 160 form before attending my interview. I was told that the CGI officer that asked me to go back and fill the form ought to have advised me to reschedule my appointment. My first reaction? Holy shiit! 57,600 naira rightly spent. Jesus Christ!


Ran out, grabbed my phone and mailed 100kobo. Oga didn't reply on time. I had to come here on the thread to ask him to check his mail. He did and responded after some hours. He was very disappointed to say the least. He encouraged me to 'refire' as he was sure i would be approved. The feeling that i was delayed because of a technical issue (which could have been avoided) gave me joy.

It was around past 3pm already. So i went to the nearest GTBank. Paid the 59,200 amd went home with the determination that i would be approved whenever I faced the next VO. Lol.

Past 6pm now. Decided to take a nap o. Nap turned to deep sleep. Woke up around 11pm. Tried booking an appointment but i couldn't. Slept again, woke up arond 12:25 am on the 22nd. Refreshed the page and i could finally book. Checked for Lagos. Nearest date was January 15. Wahala haff come. Checked Abuja and saw November 27...1 slot! The speed I used to apply ehn. I confirmed the appointment and my mind was at peace.

Reached out to 100kobo cos i felt i needed to work on convincing the VO earlier in the interview. I needed to control the interview. Oga replied and said i shouldn't. He said i would sound desperate. Hmmn. I took his advice and just stuck to my normal plan. God's willing, I would get my approval but I needed to be calm. With all the bad news on NL, i just kept saying, "even if they don't find everyone eligible for a visa in abuja on the 27th, i would walk out with my approval!"

And God heard my prayers...

Getting a US Student visa has never been easy ..... even 20 years ago the number of rejections was much higher than successful applicants
