Group for date search - DrdydC8ch7i8gHOSrBOB4M

rsogbuyi:
Good afternoon everyone. I want to create a WhatsApp group chat for fall 2024 student visa applicants where we can collectively search for dates, majorly in Lagos (Abuja too can join). If you’re interested, email me your phone number so that you can be added to the group.

It’s a group to help each other

kenlouis:
Hello,
Please is it possible for somone in the US to provide me with POF like a foreign statement of account for I20 application?
Will it be a concern during the visa interview?

roqeebahyetunde:
You only need to retrieve DS-160 and update the information. Your DS-160 number will change after this, so you will need to copy it again to your CGI portal. You don't have to pay new MRV fee and your appointment date won't change except you reschedule yourself. Regarding the loan, while some people have been lucky to get approved I won't advise you to leave the loan on the I-20 cos you don't know the VO you will meet. The best thing is to get a bank statement for the school to update your I-20

I started my date search in February, I couldn't a closer date Until Mid March. The First date I got was September 18,then I kept hunting for it until I got April 4th and the reason I was able to get that date was because the Abuja Embassy released massive slots

Sisib15:
Keep searching for date. This is my trick, I picked a not favorable date, then I used the cancel option to check for date without canceling my old date. So when a favorable date comes, I was able to know very quickly. What this trick does is that you can refresh the website for 3 hrs straight without logging out but once the website logs you, do not trt to login again for that day unless your account will be frozen for three days

Ibks100:
When is your interview date, and when did you chose the date?

Ibks100:
Hello everyone. So, I've been trying to fill my ds160 for awhile now, and I've been so frustrated. I've tried different browsers. It takes time before I'm able to retrieve my application, then once I do, and I'm filling the form, once I click save, it takes me back to the homepage, or it says session time out. Am I the only one experiencing this?

BigIyanga:
Even when you default on 80k loan? Student loans are hard to discharge..

BigIyanga:
And most professional jobs wont touch you if you have bad credit.

Sisib15:
My own is I have like 5 more pending admission and funding decisions while i also have one admission with funding and i have gotten an early date in April. My question is should I change my interview date and wait for those schools or I should go ahead with my interview with the school i have at hand.

chibertha:
Since you are none STEM you should have one of the plans below;

Look for OPT accompanies that will file H1B for you,
or
Get any company that accepts you and stay there and look for another that will give you H1B

or

Go for PhD straight or another maters that is STEM eg health informatics

or go for PhD or another study after your 1 year OPT

Then while in PhD consider NIW

NOTE
you can not do OPT again if you go back for the same level of study after the first one so think am well well

las las you will be fine

You should know that I know what I am talking of. If I can boldly tell you that you can't get Mi 10/pro in Bannex, why would I go to Jumia and Konga for Mi 11?
