im not saying they don't check, I said they mostly don't check.

Check the beginning of the conversation abeg!

Lol. Alright ma.

bukhety:
By documents, I don't mean I20, sevis receipt and passport o. I mean bank statement and other supporting documents.

They actually do check bank statements. I was asked also.

Lagos Interview - Approved
27 May 2021
Assistantship covers 99% COA
Deficit $500

Thank you to all contributors here. You guys helped me through my journey. Thank you so much @schrodinger1 and @dodoyinsola for your help. I am super grateful.

I don't have so much to share from my personal interview experience however, from others that I listened to while waiting for my turn, it is best to go very prepared with lots of prayers. Study all transcripts on this forum and draft yours too. I drafted mine and went through the interview process with a Nairalander at least once. Treasure the advice on this platform....na real gold!

Wishing all other prospectives God's favour!

TRANSCRIPT

VO- Good morning
Me- Good morning

VO- Can I have your passport and documents
Me- Passed old and new passport and form i-20

VO- why did you give me two passports?
Me- One is my old passport. She immediately gave it back to me.

VO- Reads out...You are going to ...XYZ...University to study....ABC
Me- That's correct

VO- I can see you have assistantship
Me- Yes please

VO- Do you have proof of this
Me- Yes. Searched my documents, couldn't find the print out and I saw it stuck to the form i-20 I gave her. Told her to check beneath the form i-20. She didn't.

VO- Typed on her system and handed me the white paper with my documents while she kept my passport. Told me to pick up....
Me- Thank you and left.

Hello house,

My 1-20 program start/end date is 2021-2024 (3years). It is a Master's program. Is this the duration I should fill on my Ds-160?

Also, I want to change sponsors. My previous sponsor was not named on my 1-20 and my deficit was put as personal funds. Will it be okay to change sponsors?

Please @Twoods and other gurus help answer.

hi.
1. use the start/end dates on your i20.
2. personal funds means you're the one covering the deficit of your program.
if that has changed, mail your school requesting for a new i20 and ask them to change the sponsor part to "family". that way you can use any 3rd party as sponsor. The new i20 can be sent through email since embassy still accepts printed copy.
My 2cents. Hope this helps.

KemLaughs:
Visa approved on Monday at Abuja Embassy.

- Am not married
- Never travelled out before- Fresh passport
- C0A $35,000 and no funding.

congrats kemi.

Omoxrist:
Please, I will like to do my F1 visa interview in Lagos but there are no available dates, should I
be worried or be patient?

hi, be patient. appointment dates would still come up.

gerona:
Hello house, kindly guide me on the following:

1. Do I need to submit my bank statement with my bank reference letter to the school to get my F1-20?

2. Must I submit same reference letter and bank statement to the embassy when going for my interview?

Thank you all for what you do.

hi.
1. I know of schools requesting proof of funding prior provision of i20. Don't know about the Ref letter. Check in with your school to know their requirement.
2.Go with both if you have.

olaracheal:
Good evening everyone,

Please can apply for an expedited appointment after a rescheduled appointment?

hi. yes you can.

MelaninGemstone:
Easiest way to get a visa is if you are
-Married
-Have travel history (even if it’s one country abroad)
-Have good funding with little deficit

If you ain’t got this three things, your visa na just try your luck

Bad Energy. stay far.

Mike2021:
Can i print my i-20 out

Yes. you can.

Denuga91:
It is not even an opinion, it's a big fat lie!

Lol. I wanted him to land first.

MelaninGemstone:
you must have funding or you will be denied

Facts, or your opinion?

BabyI24:
Hey Fam, my visa was approved

hi. congrats. transcripts please.

Hello guys, I got a denial yesterday at the Abuja embassy after traveling from Lagos. My transcript goes like this;
I am actually applying for an associate degree.

Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning sir
Vo: pass me your I-20
Me: I did
Vo: Have you been to the US before or travelled outside the county
Me: No sir. No reason trave;
Vo: Where will you be staying in the US
Me: On the campus for the meantime before getting any other accommodation
Vo: Who's sponsoring you
Me: My elder brother
Vo: What does your brother do
Me: He's a Director in xoxoxo and a real estate developer. He typed on the system and what I heard was "sorry you are not eligible, try again"
I was pained.
I'm thinking where I goofed was when he asked where I will be staying I should have mentioned the campus address as it's on my DS application and he didn't ask for any document sef.
Guys, please help me a review.

wow. sorry about the delay.
better luck on your next attempt.

yes.

hi guys. anyone needing €100 here?

tracker01:
Thanks for your response, Please how do I go about the sevis fee payment and visa fee payment? am I still going to pay the two fees on https://www.ustraveldocs.com? what about DS-160. is it before making the two payments before I can fill the DS-160 form or after paying the two fees?
please the guru in the house kindly help. I have received my i-20 but I am confused about the visa application process.

hi. sevis fee is paid by your contact outside Nigeria via western union, pay check, or money order while the Visa fee is paid @GTB N67,200. hope this helps.
