Hello people in the house. A younger friend has an issue and is so confused right now. He went for his student visa interview which was was approved. However, on checking his visa status online. it says "Your application was refused. Please see the letter or other instructions you received at the interview" There is no letter or any link pasted with any instructions. Anyone has an idea of who has experienced something similar before because we find it very strange?

texrem:
When someone got denied isn't anybody's business. You need to have this mentality and highly oriented that " Nobody owes you Nothing". I've devoted my time for alot of people who eventually got their visa for spring even during my exams. Put your trust in God as I always tell those I vet their transcript and do mock interview for. Mudi did not get back to me when I did mock for him and I told him he wasn't prepared at all. He never called back for me to tutor him well. So, on this note you don't expect me to run after you. You re the one in need, you keep on pressing. I'm the busy type and I still find time to respond to people's inquiry swiftly. So, cecemat go and take chilling pills. All I expected from you is to keep on practicing and praying. Send private emails if you need help. I've reponded some days back to your inquiry, vet your interview transcript and you did not even bother to call for mock interview for me to ascertain your confidence level. It's about proving you re a genuine student to the VO that will guarantee your visa and God.

If you're denied..refire and go get your visa. It's your visa. I mean na your visa. Get it and fly.

I was denied 3times. Here I am..make we leave stories. Na God all the way. But heaven help those who help themselves. Wishing you guys coming for spring safe trip and those still going to the embassy will get the visa in jesus name.

I pledge allegiance to this family... I remain your humble texrem.

Happy new year in advance.

Nb: I never retire to dey vet and to dey do mock interview.

PEACE!!!

Hello esosa4real.
Sorry to hear about your uncle.
1. It is possible and allowed to apply while you're on vacation.
2. We don't discuss chances on this forum.
3. Even if you've been denied a visa in the past, each new application is given a fresh look. Be prepared to discuss your professional ties, your travel history, and your US travel plans.

worry359:
You asked this same question several times before.
You have also asked the visa officer.

We do dot have a crystal ball to answer this.
You must contact the embassy for facts.

Hello Chiezzh. It is possible you will need to reappear for a follow-up interview. Contact customer service to inquire further or write in to the e-mail address on the slip of paper given to you by the consular officer.

seyewest:
So go to DHL and pick your passport. Let us know what is going on.

“COVER MY MISTAKES AND COLOR MY SUCCESS OH LORD was my declaration adapted from previous approval transcript

Hello friends,
Please it's not advisable to cram interview answers and questions while preparing for interview at the Embassy. The worst thing that can happen to such person is memory loss as a result of tension and fear there at the Embassy. You will go totally blank if not God's grace. The best is to practical with the questions and develop a structure for providing your answers. Let you know the reason for any question from the VO and that will guide you on providing the best answer. Questions can be asked in many formats and ways. Just know what the VO intends getting from any question asked. And pls be truthful. I strongly discourage cramming.
Chiezzh I pray you succeed this time around. Get prepared for the worst and expect the best. HOPE in the face of difficulty. HOPE in the face of uncertainty. The Audacity of HOPE. There is always Hope. And don't forget to call on GOD.

DeeTus:
Don't say IT and keep quiet, otherwise you will be denied again. Say industrial training and of course you need to tell the VO your job title and talk about it. Keep talking till he or she stops you.

While you talk, make you use body language as well, so that whoever you are talking to, will take you seriously. I will drill you tonight. I just want you succeed and I know you can.

DeeTus:
Congrats. @Chiezzh, take a look at his explaining to "what have you been doing since 2008". Be direct and vocal on what you have been doing. It's as simple as that. And not some kind of music lyrics.
