While filling the DS-160, I came across this question "Do you have a social media presence?". Should I provide my social media handles or not. Can this be used against me at the interview?

The suspects have been apprehended...

Good day house.
My initial application for a MS program was for Spring 2015 but was denied visa. I deferred my admission till Fall 2015 and I was granted visa. However, at the mmt, arrangement never set well and I want to know if it is safe n advisable to request another deferment from the school till Spring 2016 while I stay bk in Nigeria OR I make the trip to the US ( I have funds for that), appear in person at the school then ask for deferment till the next semester. Please I need to know the risks involved, I await your helpful responses.
Thanks

Chill o...Where you the lady standing right in front of me (I was wearing white long-sleeved button-down shirt and black trousers)?

Nope...I was the guy on a pink shirt and striped tie, there was a tall cleric man on purple attire 2 persons behind me.

Good day house... My Visa was APPROVED today,6.30am @ Window 8. God favoured me after my denial on 8th December 2014.... As i stood in front of the queue, I shivered when I sighted the lady who denied me then (she was in window 9 and still had that hard look). I silently prayed that she should be busy till I get interviewed someone ellse.
HERE IS MY TRANSCRIPT...(not in perfect order pls, forgive me)

Me: yes I do ( I guess he was looking at my DS160)
VO: Where does he stay?
Me: Alabama
VO: Why did you choose this school?
Me: Out of the schools I applied to, IUP is the most affordable ....He intercepted me(I had 2 oda points to give though)

VO: pushes my I20 to me... You will be needing this at the port of entry. Pls go pick your passport on Friday. Do have a nice day
Me: Thank you sir( I actually wanted to scream)

He didn't ask for any accompanying document. I believe this was by the grace and favour from God. However, I plead that people should rehearse their responses well cos some applicants before me were stuttering while responding. I thank the whole house and I wish everyone else the best as they go for their interviews. Its our month of GOODNEWS.

Good day people. I got admitted for MS in Safety Sciences in Indiana Uni. of Pennsylvania and Murray State Uni. Without having to submit GRE scores. I actually have several prerequisite courses to write alongside the Main classes and the IUP sent me a waiver letter to that effect.
How do you think I can convince the VO when asked whether or not I wrote any standardized test?

I await your suggestions. Thanks.

Happpie nu month ma people. Its our month of GOODNEWS!
Pls I would like to ask a couple of questions.
1. When asked if I have anyone in the US, can I mention my cousins/ uncles or who are those on the 'anyone' category?
2. Some schools do not require GRE for some of their Masters program, does it matter if you tell the VO it was waived.
3. I would like to confirm if SEVIS is valid for 1 year. because on the top right if my payment printout, there is sum info that looks like this " OMB 1453-1134 (Expires 1/31/2015) and payment was made 30th October 2014. is my SEVIS still valid?

I await your replies. Thanks all

Hello everyone. I am new on this platform and I salute the quality of info that is being shared.
I was admitted into Indiana University of Pennsylvania for Spring 2015 (Safety Science MS) but was denied in December 2014 based on section 24b mostly like because I used my uncle as sponsor. I have deferred the admission and my dad will sponsor me this time. I would like to know if the basis for the initial denial will be revisited by the VO when i go in june for my interview. Thanks
