This will be a challenge. You will need to pay the loan back at some point, which suggests to the VO that you have no intention of leaving after your studies and clearly cannot afford your study.

I thought having enough funding would help get my visa approved

Hello everyone,

Please I need your help, if I apply for financial aid from my university will it be a problem for getting my F1 Visa approved because the school will include the loan I have secured from the university in my I-20 and I don't know if that will be a problem for the consular to approve my visa. I already have a scholarship and the school offers loans for international students.

Bro everything is necessary I took all this for granted and I was denied. I am going for bsc too, what uni are u going and course does it tally with the work u have been doing with your dad

My Dad's work doesn't really tally with my course but the graphic designing I do for my church is in line with my course of study but I didn't add it to my profile. My uni is in California. California Lutheran university

ghettonews:


Is it bachelor or Masters and do u have work experience which u filled on your form.

Bachelor degree and my actual work experience is in my dad's construction company and I am a graphic designer but I don't think that's necessary adding it to my form because I started it around November 2022

VO: you said he is a civil engineer right?
Me: yes
VO: what project is he currently working on?
Me: I actually froze for some time because i didn't actually know what she meant by the project he is currently working on and this is where I think things went wrong. I actually asked her what she meant by the project my Dad is actually working on then she had to tell me to explain to her what contract my Dad is currently handling at the moment then I remembered that he is handling a duplex project at Enugu which I told her( she actually threw me off balance there because I wasn't expecting that question and never knew it would come)
VO: oh that's nice, what have you been doing since you left highschool
Me: I work for my Dad in his construction company ( but on my DS 160, I had my school information as a place of work)

Me: My Dad will be the one to pay for the remaining (cuts in)
VO: Have you traveled outside the country before
Me: No I haven't
Vo: Do you have any relation or siblings abroad
Me: No I don't
Vo: types for some minutes and hands the blue paper over to me saying" sorry you do not qualify for a Visa but you can reapply in the future and please put on you nose mask before you leave"
Me: I left without even responding to her or the nose mask issue.

Please apart from the two mistake I found out myself. Did I do any other mistake that I shouldn't have done because I will be going back immediately my New I 20 is out by February and I hope I get it this time

Hello Everyone! Please my spring semester Visa appointment was denied in Lagos consulate on 29th December 2022 but my school has moved my admission to fall semester and I'm to resume on August.
