VISA APPROVED GUYS! Spring 2022

Date: 21st September 2021
Location: Abuja

My first time going to the US Embassy but this forum has been instrumental to my practice and information, so I had to just post mine for others to see.

I was interviewed by a white woman.

VO: Good morning, pass me your documents.
ME: Good morning. Sorry before we start, I stutter a bit but I will be fluent as possible
VO: No problem
VO: I can see you are going to Texas A&M University
ME: Yes, that's right
VO: For masters in Engineering?
ME: Masters in Industrial Engineering.(I corrected her immediately)
VO: Okay
VO: What do you do?
ME: I work at an Engineering firm in Lagos as a Technical Officer.
VO: What will you be doing after your study?
ME: I will definitely be coming back to Nigeria to continue working at my current company as I have an offer of a managerial role upon my return.
VO: I can see you work at XXXXXXXX
ME: Yes (I repeated the company name)
VO: What do they do?
ME: They are into fabrication of tanks, water and sewage treatment systems
VO: Give me an approximate staff strength of the company
ME: We have two Offices. One in Lagos and other in Ibadan with an approximate of 60 staff in total.
VO: who is sponsoring your study?
ME: My Uncle will be sponsoring me, he has been sponsoring my education as a child.
VO: What does he do?
ME: He is a medical doctor and he owns two hospitals, one in Lagos and other in Ogun state.
VO: Is he in Nigeria?
ME: Yes he is (He actually just returned from the US so my response was a bit shaky).
VO: Ok, I will be approving your visa......... (I always read on here that people stops hearing what the VO is saying about Covid at this point) I literally didn't hear anything as well, different thoughts and emotions all at once.

I collected my white paper and in two days my passport was in Lagos.

It was just God, that's all I can say!

@ufay Must the tentative travel date be before resumption date?

ufay:
It can only be God oo.
After the switch to Abuja yesterday, putting wrong tentative date and all, I got my email today too.
My interview is August 11.
I hope to prepare well and take God's grace along.

Thank You so much.

blesziano:
No, i did not.

I cancelled my Lagos appointment and requested for an emergency appointment in Abuja.

Thanks, for the reply. Did you request for Emergency in Lagos before canceling?

blesziano:
No, i did not.

I cancelled my Lagos appointment and requested for an emergency appointment in Abuja.

Hi, did you guys buy another mrv?

blesziano:
I also did this and i got August 20. Do you have an idea how i can update my DS-160 to reflect Abuja since i chose Lagos when i filled it initially.

Please help

Thanks, do I need to buy another mrv if I decide to apply to Abuja with intent to request for EA?

Baxe:
Hi, it takes about a month to receive a reply for EA in Lagos.

Darn! Thanks

Hi, it takes about a month to receive a reply for EA in Lagos.

Hello, did this work for you or you had to buy another mrv?

dante0007:
Thank you.

Hi, did you pay another mrv? / visa fee? I'm thinking of canceling and applying in Abuja cos Lagos is yet to reply.. If I cancel, will I get the emergency request to Abuja? Please reply. Thanks.

Ayangbade99:
Hello, did you pay another visa fee?
Did you cancel and simply reapplied to Abuja and the emergency request function was still intact?

Hi all, Is the Lagos consulate still issuing the requested emergency?? No replies from them and it's been a week already.

Hi, did someone help you with the date in Abuja?

Vahn:
you are welcome

I'm looking to switch to Abuja cos the Lagos consulate hasn't yet replied to my Emergency request after a week.

wue1:

Please how can I get a mock interview with you sir/ma?

NigPatriot:
Lol we thank God.
I wish you well in your new phase

Thanks you so much. I really appreciate you so well.

Vahn:
use the feed back option, then (merge all your documents into one)let the sevis be the first page, explain yourself and then upload and pray.


Dont be scared, when I uploaded my emergency documents, my sevis and i20 didn’t upload, only appointment confirmation uploaded. I used the feedback option and send everything by merging them together cos you can only upload one file.

God so good it worked

Good day everyone. Please I need your help. While seeking an emergency request, I mistakenly uploaded the payment receipt of my Sevis fee (western union). Not the confirmation page. I can't get to request another emergency cos the option is not there anymore. Please what can I do? Should I reschedule all over again and ask for an emergency request? Or the receipt is also valid?

Thanks everyone.

Please is anyone also having issues with the CGI page? I have paid for my visa fees but can't create an account. Please I need some help.

Thanks for the response. I got Fall 2021 admission. Should I defer till the fall of 2022? Or I can ask to defer to Spring of 2022?

Duisburg:
Mail your school sharply to ask for a deferral. Obviously, you can't meet Fall resumption again. Do the mailing fast as some schools would not heed if it's getting too late, as they would have new applicants that may be more qualified for spring. So, they would think you've perhaps considered another school.

Hi everyone, please I need your help, I received acceptance letter into Lincoln uni Mba program for fall 2021, and a soft copy of 1-20 form. I'm making arrangement for the sevis fee payment. I would like to know if I can still find an interview date. School resumes on August 18th and classes begin on August 23rd. Please what can I do?

Thanks.
