Advice

Danielaz5:
I was offered a full ride scholarship that covers tuition,fees,room,board,books and a semester stipend of $1000. I just want to know if carrying a bank statement of Less than 6M and Educational insurance less than 4M would be enough as on my I-20 I only have to pay living expense of $3000.

LagosismyHome:
so the letter said because of the theft issue or you are just been "world people"

And besides they already said 1330 up was capstone scholarship around $30k so I did 1+1
Scholarship ready + (- Stolen Funds ) = Reduced scholarship

LagosismyHome:
so the letter said because of the theft issue or you are just been "world people"

It was on the school's website and CNN

LagosismyHome:
You seem to like HBCU as I spy about 3 on this list ... did howard give you any funding , I would have picked howard before alcorn in terms of post job opportunities as howard if u leave ranking aside.it has a strong post recruitment program.

Yes Your point is valid Howard awarded a $10k award instead of full ride because of the theft issue.

Phyze:

Ayoola222:
Please, what's the current date for interview at the Lagos consulate?

Around August 6 when I checked.

VECOH1:
Good morning everyone. Pls House I would like to know how I can shift my F1 visa appointment forward from 19th July to 27th July.
Pls It is urgent.
Thanks for your anticipated replies.

You're lucky. the latest appointment date in Lagos is August 6

If I'm going for a second interview can my answers in the first interview be recalled and used to question me on why I said it before and changed

Dopekidd:
Hello. Didn't get an answer from anyone. How do I book an interview date at the embassy, for student visa
Which bank do I need to pay the visa fee
I need instructions anyone

GTBank

Dodos26:
How did you get a date after first delay? I was denied over a month now yet no date. Please any body with useful info on way forward should help. Please.

Get a new DS-160 preferably with the same school then pay the student visa fee then book another appointment. My page was opened after 24 hours.

LagosismyHome:
yes

Please can I contact you for advice my Second interview is early next month.

TWoods:
You told him plainly you intended to study medicine and work in the US. While this is not illegal, the VO has to do his job. He is required by law to only grant you a visa if you can prove that you have no immigrant intent. Indicating that you have researched working as a doctor in the US proves immigrant intent. Tough luck. Try again and don’t make the same mistake.

Thanks I have noticed my err

LagosismyHome:
Some times it might not be that u said anything wrong but just not your day today

I don't like your opening about sister and childbirth . There are other strong reasons for reading medicine so key into those

Thank You will do as said

Nempi:
Lagos or Abuja?

Lagos

adedoja99:
Hi there! I'm sorry but are you saying you wouldn't consider biology if you didn't lose your sister?? That response is not connecting.

You finished yourself by saying "Becoming a doctor in the US"... I feel you probably wanted to say " Studying this course in the US requires......."

Just my opinion

Thank you for your opinion I guess I failed to give more reasons why I wanted to become a doctor.
Thanks

Good day everyone my Visa got denied today June 19 and would like to hear your advice on what to change. Below is the transcript
