Well thank you for the elaborate response. I'm only going based off what I was told. I don't think I have the exact/specific information about the whole date of resumption and deferral if that's what you're asking -- I would know if I was the person in question, but it's still within that ball park.

For the records, about the deferring to spring second quarter, that's what he told me. The school he got admitted in is in Louisiana, and it was stated in his offer letter that their resumption is by March.

I'd relay everything back to him, at this point, we're actively seeking solutions. Thanks for your input.

Edit: it's actually June (summer) for the deferral. Like I said earlier, within that range.

JohnZak:
First off, visa interviews can go either way regardless of how prepared one might be. Although full or partial funding is definitely advantageous, it does not always guarantee visa approval. Likewise, little or no funding does not always guarantee visa rejection. There is an element of grace or luck (depending on your POV) to these things.

The other thing is that the VO may just have been having a bad day. This happens more than we want or like to admit and the VO may just have been looking for a reason to deny your friend.

I looked at your previous posts and a few things seem off. This may be why the VO asked the other officers about the details on your friend's I20. In a previous post from Jan, you mentioned your friend was scheduled to resume on March 11.

Most schools here have Spring, Fall, and Summer semesters (Summer I and II). Some accelerated programs also have a winter program (late December to January). I may be wrong but I have not heard of a school resuming in mid-march, except those resuming after mid-semester spring break and new students don't start at this point. I am not sure but if your friend was unable to explain why his school was resuming in mid-march when other schools resume in January, this may have been an issue for the VO. Probably explains why she chatted with her colleagues. Resuming in mid-march for a program that originally resumed in Jan would be a red flag. Which school issued your friend's I20?

Now, you say your friend is deferring to "second quarter of spring". Again, I may be wrong but I have never heard of deferring to "second quarter of spring". I suggest you get the correct details from your friend because if he can't address these issues to you, I am not sure he will be able to do so when he goes for his interview at a later date and he will likely have the same outcome as before.

If the resumption dates for this school are accurate like you said -- "second quarter of spring"-- your friend should preemptively address this with the VO because it is common for new students to resume at the beginning of Fall or Spring semesters and even less so in Summer semester.

I didn't consider it as one, tbh. I was only wondering what difference it would make with the issue being discussed. If it would have changed the solution to the problem.

USAfall2024:
I didn't mean it as an attack. I was only trying to be sympathetic toward such a heartbreak "your friend" had to pass through.

If I didn't gather the much information I could, then how would I be able to bring it up here in the first place? I'm looking for answers. He is doing the same. I happen to know about this thread (and nairaland, not everyone knows about and/or uses nairaland, let alone this thread), so me bringing the issue here is not out of place. And to do that, I need to "know so much about it" so I can present it to the best of my ability.

If I was the friend, why would I not remember the questions the VO asked me? And what would I even stand to gain by saying 'my friend's when it's actually me?

Ffs nobody knows anybody here. There are no faces attached to any usernames here, so the idea of someone saying I'm the friend, when I'm clearly not is actually off putting, if I'm being honest.

USAfall2024:
We (and you) don't know the first two questions and the response he gave. That might be where the VO picked suspicion and had to ask for the opinions of her other VOs.

Why then would I be HIS FRIEND if I don't know somethings about him, and him, about me? Isn't that what friends are for? I must be tripping. Or I probably understand friendship differently.

USAfall2024:
Also, you seemed to know so much about the said friend which was another reason I picked suspicion that there is really no friend. But I'm happy you cleared my doubt that you're not. Please send your friend the link of this thread and we'll be happy to assist him in getting the desired solution.

I didn't mean to come across as harsh in any of my statements above, if in any case, it sounded that way, I apologize. Thanks for your input anyway.

Hey 🤠

@USAfall2024. Dont mind him . You can see that he is being hash towards you. He is a travel agent , i know them psychologically but its not a sin.

1. If i can see the Form I 20 and the real detail of what they filled in the DS 160 i can conttibute my quota .

2. They will come with half -truth questions and expecting accurate answers , thereby rendering opinions useless.

Best Wishes 🙏

I don't see how 'being harsh' made it into this conversation, or I probably missed something. Me being the friend or not, I don't think it had anything to do with the question, or the answers, in the first place.

And two, you don't even know me, and I don't know you either. Yet you rushed to tag me a travel agent. That's laughable.

Talk about coming with half truths. Lol. I find that quite funny, coming from someone I don't know.

You don't expect me to go and request for his I-20 and DS-160 forms from him, because I don't even have them. If it were you and I asked you for them, would you be be willing to release them to me?

He had a situation, and I offered to source for opinions, based on the information I got from him, and you're here talking about half truths. What's my business with travel agency and stuff?

"You can see he's being harsh" yet your paragraphs have accusatory undertones. That's not very nice.

OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠

1. For the sake of humanity. Any one who want to give you near accurate solution must 1st see the copy of the Form I 20 and possibly have clues on what your friend filled in his DS 160 . Forget about the date missing and the question" How will your degree change your salary " Its a gimmick to arrive at a decision .

Best Wishes 🙏

He had LOTS of assistance from people to fill out his DS 160 form. People went over his form both on zoom and physically before he submitted.

Per work; he filled that he worked at a company and earns 200k+ as salary. In fact, judging from what he told me, and the people who went over his form before submitting, I'd say his form is okay as is.

The date isn't missing. I never said it was.

The issue arose when the VO took his I-20 to show other officers. That was the turning point of everything. Because immediately the officer got back, she started typing. The only logical reason is the date on the I-20.

He was not asked his post study plans, he was not asked anything about home ties or living expenses, or anything like that.

Which is kind of odd.

My friend with full funding PhD got denied at the embassy.

So, my friend secured admission and full funding at a university, but date for visa interview delayed him. He was able to get a date for interview one week before his school resumption.

On the day of the interview, he was asked just 3 questions. After the second question (I don't remember what the two questions were), the VO collected his I-20 and went around to show other VOs, they mumbled somethings after which she came back and started typing.

Then, she asked him "how will your degree change your salary"

My friend had only finished answering the question when the VO issued him the pink slip.

He thinks it's because of his resumption date which was already very close.

Now, he reached out to the school and they deferred the admission to second quarter of spring (around May) because he already deferred it from last year.

Now he wants to go for another interview, but there's a challenge.

When the VO asks him what has changed from his last interview, what answer should he give?

Because, his last profile was perfect. Full funding and everything. So what answer can he give to that question?

Travel › Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by anchex101(m): 5:19pm On Mar 11, 2024

Hello guys, I need some clarification about the process of getting admission and funding in Canada.

I've read this some threads way back and all I've been seeing are people paying their tuition or having someone or company pay their tuition for them. For people that are not privileged to have these, does that mean they can't come to Canada?

I know the process for US student visa and funding is:

Get your documents (transcripts, CV, standardized tests) ready

Apply to a school for a program and also GA/TA/RA

Gain admission and funding

Go for visa interview and,

Japa.

But for Canada, do Canadian schools not give funding (tuition, living expenses and all)? Because from the what I have read on this thread, I haven't seen anyone talk about funding from school.

Is that something that doesn't happen?

For the US, you can secure admission and funding from here in Nigeria by application. Is it something that doesn't happen with Canada too?

Can someone help elaborate on this. Please. Thank you.

Yes, it is fully funded.

If there's anyone here with groups to search for interview dates, can you indicate please? Thank you

Denc:
First, is this full funding?

If "No", consider deferring again given the limited time before program start.
If "Yes", then consider the following suggestions:
[1] ask the International Office or equivalent at school for a letter that allows the candidate resume late (i.e. the letter should state the latest date by which the candidate can report at the school and still be allowed to proceed with the program; letter should be addressed to the "US Embassy & Consulate in Nigeria" )
[2] ask on this thread for people searching for date availability at the US Consulate, Lagos and/or the US Embassy, Abuja (if dates are not readily displayed on the appointment portal)
[3] generally, do not panic, be flexible. Keep in touch with program contact, be honest with them as regards your plans including visa pursuit.

Urgent response needed, please.

A friend of mine got admission (PhD) last year fall 2023, but no funding. So he deferred to spring 2024 so he can hustle for funding. Now he has gotten funding, just last week.

The challenge now is that the offer letter for the funding dropped late -- his school resumes March 11, 2024. He just paid for Visa two days ago. His supervisor over there is asking he needs a letter from them so he can expedite the process of the visa.

What can he do in this situation to secure visa and round up everything quickly before his resumption date?

Thanks.

Hey guys. Please I did NIN change of DOB (it's actually the day of birth. 15th to be changed to 13th).

It's been over a month plus, and I haven't gotten any positive information on it. When I go to the NIMC office, they check and tell me it has not yet been reflected.

This is actually delaying me from applying for international passport, as I got an MSc admission in a university in the US

Does anybody have a way out for me? Any thing to fast track this process please.

I'd appreciate all the help I can get right now
