Any advice please

I am sorry for this, but ur story line indicated ur intent inclined towards immigrant visa as opposed to non-immigrant visa (F1). You claimed that ur uncle will be sponsoring ur education and after ur studies u will take over ur father's business. The same business that could not sponsor u. This is a red flag

Thanks. Yours is more than a week now.

Harbiorla:


I guess that is how it works with Lagos, I’m having similar issue.

Please, I am trying to help my family book appointment but this is what I get, they are first timer

Davegabriel:
Hello everyone! Please Is computer science same as computer and information sciences. I chose computer science as my major while applying to my university but I saw computer and information sciences in my I 20 and I'm confused about it because of my interview.

The information you have on your I-20 is correct.

I don't know if funding can influence EA or not. Just make sure you apply with your SEVIS FEE and write a convincing letter to back up your reason for emergency appointment.

civac:


@brotimi, is it true that having scholarship boost one's chances in emergency appointment approval?

Centrix:


I was just wondering, is Lagos offering emergency appointments? Also how do I apply for them. I checked the website but the link to the EA form is broken or do I just send an email? How did you go about it. Thanks!

I only took the risk then when I heard they were approving in Abuja. And it works. Please ensure to apply through the EA on ur CGI

chisomebube:
I applied for emergency appointment this earlier October and was denied and my program is starting on 10th January so I guessed is because its more than the 60 days requirement for the application, so right now application for emergency appointment is no longer showing in my portal.
My question is , is it possible to apply for emergency appointment twice?
Will I still have the opportunity to apply once is within 60 days to the start of my program.
Or should I fill another DS-160 form then pay for another visa fee and re-apply?

Please advice me on way forward thanks in advance
this is information is not detailed enough
I also applied for EA and was approved on October 21 and my start date is scheduled for 5 January, 2023 which is more than 60days.
So let us know
1. the location Abuja or Lagos
2. when did you apply
3. Did u apply with your SEVISFEE receipt and I-20


Location is lagos
sorry not october i did apply on 23rd of september with SEVIS FEE reciept and my 1-20

Ok, I believe, my ogas here can guide you, you might likely need to pay a new MRV fee to use EA option again. Once you are denied that option is gone forever

chisomebube:
Please someone experienced should kindly advice me on what to do please please please

If it is a verified news u would have seen it on their USEmbassyNG handle. Kindly ignore, the Abuja services will soon commence regular interview

Anfieldboss:


You got fully funded PhD at the University of Alabama?

I applied to University of Alabama PhD Fall 2023, hoping to get admission and funding by God's grace.

Yes, wish you success too

dynamic006:
I am confused, the university i applied for is asking for Alabama fingerprint background check. kindly put me through if you have gone through this process before. Thanks.

Do you mean University of Alabama Securtiy Background check for all Graduate Assistanstship offer's holders. If yes then, I have submitted mine too.

Please, could applicant who is scheduled to appear for interview by 9am, shows up around 7am at Lagos Consulate and queue among 7am applicants. Your advice would be highly appreciated.

Hi, Please I need a wise counsel, I am civil servant in one of south western states and already spent 2years out of 5years study leave for every workers in the state during my Master's degree program. Now I want to pursue PhD and the number of years I can apply for is 3years because of my initial 2years on study leave and PhD minimum for Student on Graduate Assistanship is 4years. My question is can I go to the interview with a letter of support from my employer with attached state government revenue receipt on study leave application or is it a must to go with study leave letter.

Dear Shannon70,

Please shed light on how EA works, my start date is January 10 when should I request for EA.

Comique:
I graduated from Tai Solarin University of Education. (computer science)
is it possible to go for pure educational courses at graduate level instead of my background during bachelors degree (computer science)

If possible, suggest courses that fit.

Yes of course. U can go for Educational Technology

Same too

strangest:


Fully funded scholarship means saving some money.. PNG is a country whose affairs is also controlled by Australia... I will go for the scholarship if i were you and go for the PhD later... unless Australia is giving you scholarship for the masters too... the only issue you
may have in PNG is facial beauty

you are welcome scholar, I am also QECS to be taken at the University of the South Pacific, Fiji come Feb 2020. please let's meet and discuss and I hope you have accepted the offer.

Chynenyemma:
Hello guys, Please any update on nominees?
Has anyone received an email regarding the outcome of the interview?

I don't know why this platform is so cold like this does it mean applicants are no longer interested in the outcome of nominations from FSB

Anyone with information on the interview nominations, deadline date to submit to had passed yet no communication from FSB.

We don't know what is happening here again

Zoaoa:
Who else doesn't have an offer letter from University yet but is still going for the interview anyways?

I don't think it worth a journey being embark upon if all requirements are not in one's possession except, he is Abuja resident

Have we lost in interest in attending the interview, as I have Promotion oral interview on Monday still in dilemma whether to attend or not

7thCANON:
Hello guys,

The interview notice states that prospective candidates come with "Original academic transcripts". Most Nigerian universities do not issue transcript to students. How do we go about this?

Schools have started releasing transcript now to students

please we need to share thoughts, ideas & experiences here. why d coldness

why is the room cold like this, has d interview date changed?

mvem:
...is there a way of seeing the referees that have responded from the application portal...

playfulvivo:

Give it a shot. You lose nothing to try. Do you have any idea of the interview format? What is your zone?

Southwest

Pr0cter:

Psc dis is is unfair
