I have been an anonymous reader right here on nairaland since 2020. It would be a big crime if i got my visa approved and didn’t post it here because I virtually learnt everything I need to know right here.

First attempt
VISA APPROVED: Abuja 9:15, 17th December 2021.

Course of study: MSC industrial technology ,California state university fresno.
School cost: 28k
Graduate assistantship: Nil
VO: bald white guy


I was asked only 4 questions (suprised because i got like 20 questions on my transcript)
Me: Good morning
VO: nothing
Me: Good morning
Vo: pass me your I20 and passport ( I was like damn, how will one who refused to reply me approve this visa God)
VO: Why are you going to USA

Me: I’m going for my graduate studies in industrial technology at csu fresno

VO: Where do you work

Me: jubaili agrotec, they sell and produce quality agricultural products such as pesticides herbicides ( I just said and the rest because everything i have prepared for disappeared at that moment)

VO: Who is going to be paying your deficits?
Me: my dad, he is a saturation technician with chevron nigeria limited

VO: chevron Nigeria limited?

Me: Yes( I was expecting him to ask for proof of funds, but he refused and i learnt here that you don’t force documents on them)

VO: have you been outside the country recently ( can’t remember the exact words)
Me : NO

VO: you’d picking up your passport in three days time.
Me: Happy holidays and you look Good
He finally smiled at me after declining our culture of Good morning.



I congratulate myself and everyone who got their visas approved today and to those that got denied, i hope you are not giving up because thats not even an option…YOU GOT THIS.

Pray and cry out to your lord God because thats the only way , and try as much as possible to dress well( i mean what you are comfortable with and can afford) appearance will make you sell anything to them. I tried and got myself the most expensive shirt i could get since that’s what they will be seeing.

Trust me you can’t be as shy as i am, i dont look straight into people’s eyes when talking…I’d rather be looking away to avoid eye contact, Dressing well gave me the confidence i needed to reply the vo even though my voice was a bit shaky.
Thank y’all for taking your time to read this ❤️Love And light �

You sound like a sadist. Why not come back to Nigeria to have fresh air?

Heya93:
Hi friends,
Please advice me. I'm losing it, cus I don't even know where I stand exactly. I reported this on the 10th of Nov, and till date, they've not gotten back to me. My resumption date is 3rd Jan. I emailed them, and they said they will contact me once the admin processing is over. Remember, my passport is with me �. Do I still stand a chance? When I check my visa status, I see that "a VO has refused ur visa... If you were informed by the consular officer that your case was refused for administrative processing, your case will remain refused while undergoing such processing. You will receive another adjudication once such processing is complete". I've seen that most people placed under administrative processing have their passport collected. I'm so worried. Has anyone had a case similar to mine? Please let me know how it ended.

itoski:

My appointment date is January 24,2022 and my school resumption date is January 10,2022 . Have requested for two EA and wasn't granted; so can I be interviewed at Embassy after my school resumption date? Cuz I haven't seen any closer date. I also requested for an extension letter from my school, but school says they don't give Extension letter to students .

Pls, can I be interviewed after my resumption date and there won't be an issues at Embassy?

If you are yet to come into the US, prodigy is better off.
Mpower deals strictly with immigrants so they need strong proof that you'll be successful in America...

That's why it is advised you have foots on ground, have done a year of studying (you are likely to complete the 2yr program), have done an internship (so at graduation, a job is more likely) and your past work history gives an indication of your future.

To your question, YES, the loan can be used to support "anything"... living cost, fees, car purchase, relocation for internship or full-time work and so on.

MackyNaija:

Na here this whole discussion take end!

Someone help me with this please. On my DS-160 I filled that I will be sponsoring my trip, and on my 1-20 my father is paying my deficit. Is this something I should be worried with? If so can it be changed?

lokoventurex1:
Hello good people,

I have sent a deferral message to my school to defer my admission to the next admission window. They have now replied me to choose my preferred deferral term. I don't want to stress them again. My initial resumption date is Spring semester which commences January 18th, but am not mentally ready to face the visa interview stunts.

I'm now considering Fall semester. What month does fall semester commences. This will help me to re-adjust my schedules ane map out things before time.

I need to reply my school now abeg..

cliffton:
So I went for my F1 visa interview today. I got the white paper but the VO told me she will be placing me on administrative processing until am able to ask my school to give me a new i20 with the TA I said they gave me in fall 2021.

But i think she didn't really hear me well. I told her i had a TA but couldn't continue due to the fact that I didn't get an early date.

Please what could this mean gurus?

rastaraj:
Pls gurus,i really need a response to this...if its not a document it could be any likely question the VO could ask to confirm if she's truly my sister.

mojolajesu:
Please who has paid servis recently?

My sister in the US is having issues paying it. Any help

Timotte:


If you have a US Western Union account (you can create one online), login to your account. At the top of the homepage, click on "Pay bills". It will take you to a page where you have to search for the biller. Type in "U S Bank DHS" (make sure to give a space between the U and S; for some reasons, their system won't find it if you don't give a space). Next, put in the amount ($350) and your account number as listed in your SEVIS coupon. Under the "Attention field", you can put "SEVISFEE". Then click on pay with debit/credit card. It will take you to the payment page where you input your debit/credit card details and then review and make the payment. Payment reflects immediately and can be confirmed on the www.fmjfee.com. Hope this helps.

KeriBaby:
Thank you so much for your response, may I ask how much Sevis and Visa fee is? Do you know? Thanks again

KeriBaby:
So I applied to some schools in the US by myself and after I received 2 rejection mails I decided to work with an agency and applied to some schools in the UK, couple of days ago I received a mail from one of the schools in the US and I’ve been given admission, meanwhile I’m yet to hear from the agency concerning the UK schools I applied to even tho they’re assuring me that I’m going to gain admission. Now my confusion is, should I start processing the US admission? They require me to submit POF asap as their deadline for i-20 visa shipment is December 3rd and classes start by January, do y’all think this US thing is achievable given the timeframe, are they still giving out interview dates this year? I’m very confused as I’m running out of time while waiting for the UK admission.

What are your thoughts ?

Sun1shyne:


Thanks for the response, but I'm curious. Did you mean you were admitted for Fall 2022 or Spring 2022?

Canada2021:
Good afternoon all,

I just got admitted into the University of Arizona for the 2022 fall semester. However, I am sad that I was not given any form of scholarship to reduce the expenses.

I want to find out if it is feasible to be given visa without getting scholarship.
