Ok, thank you very much for your prompt reply, are you in Poland already?

I am having a deadline of legalization of my document by April 30th, what’s the best way you think I can do it so that I can meet up before the deadline ?

Pardon my question please, but if I may ask "who gave the deadline for legalization?"

Abeg, who dey help book appointment?

I don tire for these calls wey dem no gree pick o.

sisticuly:
Hello people. please I've been trying to legalize my docs at the embassy through someone and the website is saying no dates until 16th April. I honestly don't understand how to book the date. Am I supposed to fill a form and choose the available date or what? Kindly assist please, I'm pressed for time. Thank you.

Me I can't even see any available dates. How did you find that April?

Amanee:


I'm a chieftess actually

You get your documents together, I'll attach a list. When you get appointment, go to the embassy in Abuja to submit the documents and wait for your collection in 4-6 weeks

Oh... sorry about that chieftess lol.

The application form is for visa yeah?

Amanee:
I just want to share this to encourage someone to not give up.




If you have questions please ask on the thread and I'll respond

I hope this helps

Congratulations chief...

Please my own issue is, I was admitted February, in fact I have started online classes. Getting a date with the embassy is tough, even If I've got one, I'm not 100% certain of the proceedings. I've been seeing many different takes here, I'll like to know the process that took you to the final stage.

Anticipating your response. Thank you

Abeg, who go help me with date na...

Make online classes no ruin me....

kc6964:


Yes many

By calling that number still?

Or there's another way??

Please, was anybody able to book an appointment date last Thursday?

Hello everyone.

I was admitted, I've just paid my tuition fee, please I need someone to briefly walk me through what to do next...

Thank you

Kingzy4pep:
Lol.. It's not scam but e be like the school like money too much. Although their tuition is fair.
Mining and Geology.

Eyaah... applied for mining and geology too. However, it's my second choice.
I used 3 choices. Dint you apply for any other course?

Kingzy4pep:
Immediately they confirmed payment.

Omo, be like scam.
They were just waiting for you to pay.

Please what course?

PimpinPips:

Oh jeez me I thought you were planning on paying tuition fees o
This case na moimoi case naa... Had I observed you meant paying a sum as little as that, I doubt I'd have bothered you with a response sef
But good luck ahead!

Baba, this case no be moimoi o.

Till now, I never find solution o. Naija banks are not forth coming, yankee banks charging too damn high. No one to help in Europe. Sigh...

Kingzy4pep:
Hope your Cgpa is good because I got a rejection from them within the week.
About the payment, my friend in Germany assisted, while I credited his naira account.
Don't you have anyone in Europe?

Omo my CGPA just dey o. What course did you apply for?

And how long did it take to get a response??

PimpinPips:


Baaad market. It's officially now hard on yourself and even harder for any potential help.
I really wish there was more time to help you figure something out.
Unfortunately, being smack on a weekend kinda reinforces the word "impossible." Sorry.

PS: I say stick with the US transfer if the funds are available to send right away. In the US I remember paying only $25 per transfer to Europe. Not sure what they currently charge, but the fees are a worthy opportunity cost for the surefire guarantee that it can still make it to Poland by Monday.

Wawu!

In all, I'm been charged $90.
Dont you think that's rather on a high side for a fee of just €20 (i.e $25)?

Kingzy4pep:
Which school and how much is it?

Silesian university of technology

Fee: €20

Good morning everyone,

Please I'm having trouble paying my school's application fee from Nigeria. Tried having someone pay from the US but the bank commissions are exorbitant.

Please can someone put through, my deadline is monday.

Good evening all,

I am glad today, my interview at Abuja went so well and it was God, I must say.

I was the 4th to be interviewed this morning and the 1st to be granted a visa, the three guys before me were rejected.

School is University of New Haven, Connecticut.
I had little funding and deficit of $26k
Course: Masters of Public health

The VO(only VO for today) had an assistant with him, guess the guy was on training or so, cos he had the approval and denial papers with him in a file, both of them were standing (or do the VOs usually stand?) the VO collects from him to dish out. You hear him converse slightly with the assistant after each applicant leave before he calls on the next applicant, so that's why I presume he was on training as a VO too.

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning to you

VO: can I have your documents (passport and i-20)
Me: sure you can, here you have it(I passed to him)

VO: what's your course?
Me: Masters of Public health

VO:Do you know anyone in Connecticut?
Me: No, I don't.

VO: So where will you be staying
Me: in the school hostel, I already booked a space( I haven't booked any space ooo, just replied with that)

VO: I can see you have a deficit to be paid by a family member, so who is paying?
Me: My dad actually

VO: So what does he do?
Me: He owns one of the biggest hotels in Lagos, he cuts me short and asks for the name, I replied, then he asks for his bank statement and I showed him. Flips to the second page only, showing his assistant, then returns to me.

VO: what else does he do?
Me: He is into the transportation industry, his fleet of cars and buses run about 17 states currently in Nigeria and hoping to expand to more as demand permits

VO: So how long has he been in the hotel business
Me: about 15-16 years

VO: So he just added the transport to it
Me: Yes

VO: How about your mom, what does she do?
Me: She is a caterer

VO: What type of catering?
Me: indoor and outdoor catering, for both social and corporate events, she also runs staff canteens for companies and she's been in the field for 35years

VO: Wow! That's fine, so do you have siblings?
Me: Yes, 2 sisters and 2 brothers

VO: What do they do?
Me: my older sister works with my dad in his hotel, my younger sis is a fashion designer and a student, my younger brother is a hair stylist and a student, my last brother is a photographer and a student.

VO: Oh! That's good, what secondary school did you attend?
Me: I mentioned and added location

VO:You live in Lagos
Me: Yes, between the boundary of Lagos and Ogun state.

VO: So why did you come to Abuja for interview
Me: my school's resumption date is actually fast approaching and Abuja had earlier appointment dates than Lagos.

VO: oh! That's true, so have you travelled out of the country before?
Me: No, he tried to cajole me like, you know people just travel for maybe vacation to Dubai and that's just it.... So I replied by saying, I have actually been about school and work basically so I haven't even had the time to plan any trip, be it vacation or any.

VO: He kept nodding with his assistant, that one just had the file held like a statue and was smiling. So how did you find out about the school?
Me: When I concluded on having my masters degree, I did an extensive search on Google for schools that offer pub, VO cuts in and completes the rest for me and I said yes.

VO: OK, that's fine, do you have a room mate
Me: I don't know, the school didn't tell me any of such(room that I didn't even book at all)

VO: OK, I want to approve your visa, collects the white paper for approval from his assistant and slides it under the Window with my i-20 and says I can pick up at my preferred pick up point.

Me: thank you very much, I'm honoured.
VO: don't mention, you are welcome (he smiled at me with his assistant, while I dropped my papers in my file and left his window)


That was simply how my interview went, guess this VO is more about home ties cos he hardly asked questions about school even from the first 3 applicants before me.

Thank you everyone for the transcripts you have been dropping so far, to everyone still hopeful for an approval, God in his infinite mercies will make your day of joy to come. You won't come this far and not have a testimony.

Wow, congratulations queen.

I'm up for New Haven too, interview soon. However, I dint get any sort of funding...

You mind sharing how you got yours??

Please I have 2 urgent questions as regards filling the ds 160 form...

1. How do I answer "who's paying for your trip"?
Does it just simply mean my sponsor??

2. If I'm currently self employed, how do I represent that while filling the present employment section??

Thanks for your reply...

28th December 2020. Location:Lagos
I was scheduled for 11:am but I got to the embassy 7:19am and they didnt start giving number until around 11:30 (or so soon thereafter) my interview didnt last 5min (but now that I'm typing it, it seems it was forever)

I was interviewed by a black lady can't really remember the window maybe 15

VO: Good morning, (she was smiling)

Me: (with my 32 I smiled back(me when first sabi smile before) ) good morning , happy holiday (she replied as if she didnt expect the compliment: oh thank you)

VO: Where are you going to?

Me: I am going to East Tennessee for a graduate program in Criminal Justice and Criminology

VO: oh East Tennessee State University?

Me: yes please

VO: why this program

Me: as you would see from my profile, I have a bachlors degree in law, however this wont be enough for the kind of research based career I would like to pursue. I plan on returning to Nigeria to incorporate a private fraud investigation firm that will center on using big data to detect crime in corporate organisations and profer solutions in terms of prevention. (I said all these and more while she was just smiling and looking at me o)

VO:how many schools did you apply to

Me: 2

VO: name them

Me:American University and ETSU

VO: hmm why ETSU and not AU

ME: ETSU has a robust faculty member that are not just educators but also law enforcement agents. Being under their tutelage would me I would get a first hand experience on the working of Criminal Justice in America (cant remember the other things I said o but I sha know I kept on talking.at some point I noticed she looked confused I was like can you hear me? She was like you are talking so fast. I sha told her sorry o nor vex, she was like it's ok, continue) I suffery continue my answer; in addition to this, I got a scholarship from the gradudate school that made paying the deficit affordable for my uncle.

VO: oh you have a merit scholarship?

Me: yes

VO: where do you work?

Me: I work with bleep Bank at it Structured Assets and Remedial Division. Working in this bank also propelled me to want to undertake this degree.

VO: Who is sponsoring you(She was looking at my 120)

Me: my uncle (I mentioned his full name)

VO: What does he do

Me: he owns a car lot

Vo: car what?

ME:car lot

VO: car what?

ME: he sells cars and car spare parts here in Lagos and he also has a real estate coy( mentioned the name of the coy)

VO: oh great.

VO: (looking at her system) you have a brother in the US

Me: yes, my half brother, he is a LPR

VO: what does he do?

Me: I dont know o ( I actually gesticulated with my hand)

VO; which school did you attend for your undergraduate studies.

ME: I told her

VO: are you married

Me: no

VO: Kids

Me: not yet

VO: have you ever traveled

Me: no


She Typed for a short while and started reciting the good news. me just standing there with a big grin on my cheeks after hearing "I'd be issue your" the rest was bleeeeeeeeereeeee. I think I thanked her like a hundred times before leaving.

Tip: na God.

Please I have a question, that part in your DS form that asks, "who is paying for your trip?", how did you answer?

Anticipating your response please.

Lol

Interesting.

My interview went almost the same way with that exact lady, except I was denied.

Only differences I can spot lie in the course of study, and that I have 2 LPR blood brothers.

iPLEXUS:

I hope you can read it, I am away from the slip now but here’s a photo I have of it.

Thanks for sharing chief.

Wouldn't mind getting a clearer version as soon as you can take the shot.

Once again, thanks...

iPLEXUS:

I got a green slip and I am open to sharing too if you want to

Sure chief. See attachment, therein lies the content of the white slip.

Kindly post yours too.

ujumuna:
Here is my transcript;
Dec 18th
Abuja
School: university of southern mississppi
PhD: in computer science, focus on cyber security (Digital forensics and detection)

I met with the black guy( he denied visas like water on that day shaa)

Good morning
VO: Good morning

VO: Pass ur passport and i-20
Vo: where is your husband
Me: he is here in Nigeria.

Vo: Who is funding your study abroad?
Me: my husband and my brother (as stated in my i-20)

Vo: What do them do
Me: My husband is a Businessman that owner’s real estate company here in Nigeria while my brother is a businessman. he imports transformers and other electrical accessories and distribute across the country.

Vo: have you traveled together with your kids
Me: I said no.

He handed me over the green paper.( The 214 B denial, based on whether or not the consular official feels that I will not return to Nigeria after you graduate by coming for the interview with my three children but I told him that my husband is in Nigeria doing his business)

Kindly correct me because i am reapplying and i am pretty sure my question will have to be on the strong tie , back in nigeria. i have decided to go with only my son who is 4years old, and left the two girls behind as part of my strong tie.

Good evening ma.

Please, I'll like to know the content of your green slip. I got a white slip which was still a denial. I'll like to know the difference please, what ever means (email, WhatsApp etc) you can show it with will be highly appreciated!

Thank you...

nelmc:
Hello guys.

Please I have a brother in the States who is a PR. What would be the best response if the VO asks me about him and would it deter my chances of an approval?

I pray you get approved, so I can strike that out of the possible reasons for my denial!

I have 2 PR siblings, they are living large.. one is the sponsor.

I think you just need to hope for the best, and pray you meet a friendly VO, not just one who wants to ask questions and get facts right!

Hypokrisy:
Exactly the same thing that happened to me on Friday with that black lady.

I’d never comported so well in an interview like that in my life

Mehn!

I still cant understand what went wrong!

My best bet is because I have 2 PR siblings sha!

Good morning house.

I got denied on friday at the Lagos consulate.

I had a really engaging interview with the black lady, in fact I was 90% certain she was going to approve, but then the 10% got the day.

My transcript is quite long, I plan to drop it later to give room to remember every ounce of it.

However, this lady passed by all the coloured slips people have been talking about, blue, green etc, and reached for a white slip. I thought it was going to be an approval slip. I was shocked to see it was a denial too.

My question now is, is there any difference attributed to these slip colors

Thank you.
