MrCuteking: Someone asked me this question please if you have an answer kindly quote me.
I was previously denied few months ago, while I was trying to book another appointment I saw two sections to select from with warning sign on wrong selection.
>>Regular >>Previously refused.
What are the conditions for each selection? Were you refused more than 6 months ago? if so I believe you can go with regular. Think the website says this |

Huncho1: Nawa oh just 6 months The longer you wait before getting a license here, the more usually you have to pay insurance premiums initially. Look at it from that angle. Even if you don't get a car when you arrive, I would still proceed with a license to start having a record/history. |

Wretch32: Guys, I was thinking, and the older guys could help out if necessary Some of us leaving need support, (not financial ohh Infact anybody that makes such requests will be blocked ) instead of just being thrown into the deep end We need to network, keep in touch and share opportunities if necessary And help others too who come via this platform as well Information is power, there are lots of things we can learn from each other, solutions can be proffered, mentorship and career advices only for students in status, or resident graduates(there should be a means of verification before being accepted into the group) @lagosismyhome is this possible ma? I believe as one of the elder ones you would be in great position to champion such a good cause.
Just an idea, I hope others like it tho Cos personally I’m already struggling with information, about going into a new country, no friends, and I’m yet to find a Nigerian student there, it helps having a mentor One word of advice..don't limit yourself to just Nigerians. You'll learn a lot from people of other nationalities. I understand your concern about having someone to guide you through things, but also don't be too quick to make decisions about it. Lots of students have lost their way in the US just because of wrong friends, networks. Get here, focus on school while studying the system, don't make decisions based on rumors-verify every piece of information you get online and gradually you'll form your networks. |

graduatestudent: Interview Date: 10th July Time: 6:45am Location: Lagos Status: Administrative Processing, now issued (F1 and F2)
School: Fordham University, NY Program: Master of Science in Marketing Intelligence Funding: $20k Deficit: $73K (including living expenses, dependent expenses and health insurance)
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry as my AP wasn't like all others I have seen. He didn't say they were going to verify any documents or give me any other slip besides the AP letter. Nothing about the information other VOs have given to students. I couldn't even explain to my son what the verdict was.
Fast forward to this morning, I tracked my visa status and both visas have been issued.
I don't know how this transcript will help, because the interview didn't really focus on my going as a student for the later part which was quite perplexing. I give Glory to God for all he has done and a big thank you to everyone on this forum for sharing as much as they can to help others. The people who were on AP and came back to confirm their visas were issued gave me hope even though my scenario was different.
Good luck to everyone still in the process! $73k deficit  |

SEQUIN: Good day everyone, my interview is scheduled for next week and I dont have any assistanship only my dad. I have noticed from the trends that people who have fundings are likely approved. Please do I stand a chance because Im yet to see any approve transcript for someone without schorlarship. Let's say VOs were denying based on assistantships..it's not necessarily a bad thing. Education in the US can be expensive in addition to cost of living depending on where you choose to go. You should how some students struggle semester-to-semester so you'll understand. Why don't you look around for schools willing to fund you-trust me, it will make life much easier for you. |

Kalkaothar: I tried scheduling a date in Abuja now, first available date is August 22. School resumes August 20 and classes start 26. Will the proximity of the interview to class start date(school would have resumed) not be an automatic ground for refusal? Considering the fact that i may not be granted an expedited date... Should I just keep checking later for available dates in both states? Should I pick a date now and hope to reschedule later? What is the process for rescheduling anyway? What are the chances that I will get opportunity to reschedule?
Please help out! Keep checking for dates. I'm sure something will show up before your resumption date..BTW you might need to be checking at nights as well! |

Any advice on what to so and what not to do? Its actualy first time applying for a visa. Help a bro Doesn't mean that students are not going abroad to study the course..you shouldn't just use what you see on nairaland here as conclusive stat. Just prepare to answer questions you've seen already on the past few pages especially relating to your course and you should be fine first time or not. |

ProjectKay: Its quite disheartening to hear all this about #Brown2Green, I don't usually believe stuffs said about people till I hear from the other end. This same dude helped me privately without asking for a dime. He helps on the thread probably more than anyone else without demanding for any gratification. Then all this allegations, I can't just connect the dots.
#Brown2Green please stay strong. People come and go on this thread...helping prospective students. They don't charge for services because of that, so that in itself is not a justification. The fact is for many people, the best way to hide information from them is to put it on here for FREE. Then, they'll start looking for someone to pay to get that same information. The wealth of information on this thread, especially from the earlier parts, is enough to make anyone a guru. But if some still want to go ahead and pay something for it...well |

walex2bad: Good evening everyone. I appreciate the efforts of everyone making reasonable contributions on this thread. I'm new to this thread, I have been reading through the pages but in order to save myself some time, let me drop my questions.
I just want to start processing my application for a masters programme in the US, hope admission is still open in most schools?
What are the processes involved and how do I find affordable schools that offer Masters programme for options in Electrical and Electronics engineering?
I graduated with a 'not too impressive 2'1', can I still get roles as a GA or TA and how do I go about this ?
Thanks in anticipation. Blessings.. Quite a few schools are still accepting for Fall, but you'd have to do some searching and be ready to do some spending for the application process over the next month or two. |

Happiness67: Please, I urgently want to ask,I have two questions, I have asked before but no response, I have a foreign sponsor for my F1 studentship , he lives in a carribean country, guyana...does the VO's accept this kind of sponsorship? Do they look favorably into applications with a foreign bank account? Hope they will be able to verify the account easily? The second question,pls what does 40% tuition scholarship for 'fall 2019 semester' entails? Does it cover just one semester or for the academic year? Any replies will be appreciated Go ahead. As long as you able to justify why the person will be sponsoring you..40% of the semester just like it's written. Note that the 40% might not necessarily make the tuition affordable. Be sure to calculate what's left and be sure you can afford it. |

Don't understand what this process is all about,anyone with useful information and advice is highly welcome You'd be better served on the visit visa thread.

wintabotom: Like I said earlier I feel there is a new policy with visa issuance at the USA embassy’s. Denial rate has sky rocketed. I have friends who have been going for years without any default. They have all been refused for no reason. Please a man who works in Shell can never have any intent to migrate without proper job at the USA. I agreed that Canada had to speak to the USA to revisit their visa issuance as people have been crossing into Canada from the USA and seeking asylum. In my opinion I think we should leave USA for now. They would calm down later. FYI..as you were typing this, some people were there at the embassy getting their visas.. |
