An immigration officer told me today that there is a memo that capturing should be done during public holidays. Unfortunately, I have rescheduled. Pls, do not reschedule if you chose any of those public holiday dates.

Thank you.

Is it still possible for an agent to help one fast track the issuance of a passport after paying online. I had to reschedule my children to June 13 and we are travelling for fall. I'm not sure it can come out b4 then. I just tire!

Pls, quote me if you are going to the University of Florida. Let's connect!

Ock4:
Just got admitted into University at Buffalo PhD program for fall 22(social welfare). COA 45k. Tuition 23k(waived), assistantship 20k, fellowship 8k.

My question is: I saw something about submitting a health background form(download fill etc) I want to know how to go about it - do I print the form and give to a health practitioner to fill? Without showing proof of taking those vaccines(measles and co vaccines)? (Aside Covid-19 cert of course)

- Also as POF I should submit the admission letter right? If yes - the part where the sponsor is meant to sign on the financial form do I leave that blank?

Any other advice please bring it on. Thanks

Congratulations!

Is anyone going to the University of Florida?

Forget anything now till June

Lol

Pls, help. My children's appointment date was initially May 2, I rescheduled to May 3 because of public holidays, now I'm just seeing that there will be public holidays on May 3 and 4. Pls, who can help me confirm this. There is no more date for May. My only option is to reschedule for June and that is too far.

Wow! This is spot on. I sincerely apologize to this community.

I know I have learnt so much and in my little way I have given too. However, my second disappointment really hit me so bad that I am just recovering from it.

Anyways, here is the transcript of my second interview at Abuja

NB: first denial was on Dec 1, 2021
MPOWER Loan funding worth 50k
COA: 45k
Scholarship:3k

Second time, I reduced the Loan to 29k then family funds 16k (reflected on i20)
Had GA also but couldn’t cover for tuition.

VO asked the regular questions of Why are you going to the school, who told you about the school, are you married or engaged, who is sponsoring and all.

After those questions, he paused for a second looked into his system, looked at me again and asked if I have been denied before. I answered yes.

He further asked what has changed. I told him about my finances. The last time I had only the loan funding but this time, my family support came in for my living expenses and the loan for my tuition.

The VO nicely gave me a blue letter.

Well, I didn’t stop there, I pleaded that he tell me what I am not doing right with my application. He was so nice to say “I will advice you work on your Home ties. They are not strong enough.”

I went back to my hotel room battered and shattered.

My advise and what I am working on is to get a full funding before trying again.

I am available to answer questions and clarification about the whole thing.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear this!

mojolajesu:
Hello guys,

Please are there still schools that have applications open where one can still get funding?

Kindly help me reply to this if you have such information

Hi, mojolajesu,

I'm surprised you are asking this question when you never came back to give us feedback as regards your visa interview in Abuja.

Why do we like taking and not giving? Even if it was negative, people could learn.

I was particularly interested in your case cos of the mpower loan application.

I understand people have different ways of reacting to disappointment (I assume this from your question) but then, let's learn to give too!

Yes this is why I am asking on her behalf coz it’s kind of strange to me granting Student Visa on Dropbox schedule. Weird though.
So in a nutshell it’s true.

Then about the emergency appointment, she’s not getting the reply from the embassy as regards that and her school resumption date is Fast approaching , this is why she’s considering to go with Dropbox way if it will fast track this process .


Please Is it right for her to follow the alternate way going for Dropbox
Or she should also give it a try

Drop box is not for first timers

Homemade12:


Please i also need the steps on DIY

It's pretty straight forward. Fill in your details, pay and book an appointment.

saxwise:


Please I'm finding it difficult to print my Guarantor's form after making payment. It's saying invalid parameters for both my reference ID and my Application ID.

Any help?

Check your details properly to be sure it's correct. You can also change the browser in case that's where the error is coming from.

Moshkom:


Publicly, I have.
But feel free to PM or DM, when you’re set. If I can not directly help out because of busy schedules, I would surely refer you to some of my +1 friends. I will be glad if you make me your last option.

Shalom!

I'll sure do thanks!

But come to think of it, no be their papa get nairaland. This space is owned by all, after all we pay seun with our data to stay on it.

But I understand your point sha! Take care!

BunmiBie:


Please, respond to my DM.
God bless

I've done that

Moshkom:



Yeah, very terrible.

Trust me, when I say I have NEVER been outta helping others, never! Never let anyone Mention or PM ‘unread’ all my ‘NL life’.
People that know me off here, can testify. Been here since 2011 or so, and I can say this is even the media that I personally have a low ‘range’ of ‘helping’ others with my honest opinions.

Because I know what it feels like to have no or little idea or know-how about a thing or process, esp the japa path.

The little honest opinions, that we've been sharing here, we kuku know and heard agents and the upcoming ones, have been using it as their own personal contents for a fee/charge off here, we overlooking and keep sharing, just to carry our people (those that can’t afford agent charges and co) along.

We know, people charge guys here ‘ridiculously’ for Sevis fee and co, we no talk; because “na where man dey work; him dey chop”.

Na ‘we’ wey dey give our 2cents, of either you ‘concur’
or easily ignore it If you think it won’t help you, for no fee in our very very busy time and schedules, person
come dey talk say “our mouth dey smell”. Omo! Lol not Lol.�

Sincerely, we can’t even help everyone; make agents chop too (afterall, na legit work. they should just help to do it right for the novices). Lol
and Like, I do say, everybody, would definitely be fine, last last.

Peace!

Pls, don't stop. God will reward you. I was planning on sending dm for a mock interview as soon as I get a date! It is well!

zanyt:
Hello Good afternoon all
Is anyone trying to fill DS 160 form the portal is kinda too rigid this time. The session times out too fast and it’s always difficult selecting a location. is anyone experiencing this?
Or is it too much traffic?
Let me know if it’s a general thing or from my end.
Thank you.

Don't use MTN network

Moshkom:



Once again, congratulations her Husband’s wife. Lol

The other day, one guy (predst*n) said ‘we’ saying “gibberish” because ‘we’ are trying to ‘help’ with ‘our’ 2cent on mock reviews. Lol. Since then we stopped, to avoid ‘bad reviews’ on the name Moshkom.

Again, congratulations and fly safe, Ma!

I appreciate your contributions!

larrypha:

Thank you for your response, I have moved it to May 3rd.

jephthal:
Hello, good people of this thread, please can someone kindly point me to the DIY steps (you can quote me or help me with the link. I plan to go to ALAUSA.

Thank you.

Send a dm

Hi all,
I applied for my children's passport and the earliest appointment date available and chosen is 2nd May. Is this date okay? Or should I reschedule cos I think there might be a public holiday on that day.

I don't want a situation where I will have to schedule a further date again since May 3 is still available now. What do you guys think?

SonyaSpence:

I am fine sis, been a loong while o.
What about you?

Sure it is! I'm doing as well as I can. Thank you.

SonyaSpence:

Let's go there

How are you doing bro?

Ock4:


Send link again please

Just remove the space in-between.

I'm hoping there will be surge dates this fall too.

johnpoko:
To anyone planning to migrate to the USA, don’t let anyone discourage you. They will tell you all sorts of stories that the grass ain’t greener on this side, don’t get me wrong, America ain’t for the lazy, you have to work work work, but as long as you work smart? You will enjoy the fruits of your labor. I moved here in 2018 and my uncle discouraged me and told me to go back to Nigeria, I left, hustled and strived on my own, fast forward to today, 4 years later, I’m expecting my green card in the mail next week, I’m at the last stage of nursing school with a great GPA and I am living comfortably with a good paying job while schooling. Mind you I studied International relations in Naija with no knowledge of science but here I am today almost ready for nursing graduation. So if you want to come here, come!
By the way, any student who is coming here, if u need a place to lay your head reach out to me I have a spare room! Someone helped me when I moved here back then so I am returning the favor. But after 1 to 2 weeks Biko find your way oh lol

Which schooL?

Did capturing today at Alausa, strictly DIY

Anybody that has an international passport

Sugher:


Please who did you use as guarantor? Can we use anybody or there are specific people to use like kings, local govt chairman, federal workers etc

Also have you stamped your guarantor’s form? Can one stamp it at any court or is there a particular court to go

I wish to ask, is my guarantor supposed to sign at the back of my passport?

ShyShyBobo:
I'll be resuming for Fall 2022 (August) . But I've got an F-1 Visa interview date for March, 2022.

Should I be worried as I have more than 120 days to go?

I saw one fall approval already, so pls go for it!

Labadi69:


You want to go and do masters and you can’t write an ordinary statement of purpose and resume? May yamayama fall on that your dull head. You don’t deserve to be admitted and you will be taking the place of someone who deserves it more. God help us in this country. Very disappointing

Who is this one?
