Hello house,

The DS-160 location I filled late last year was for the Abuja location but I was able to secure a date in May at the Lagos Embassy. My question is do I need to update or fill a new DS-160 form. Also there's an update regarding my current job, should this be reflected too ?

I booked 26th April but it was canceled and I got a mail advising me to rebook. When I opened my portal the earliest date was march 21st (which is beyond 120 days for me) and April fully book, May had few dates between 15th to the end so I took 24th.
Let's see how it goes then.

Lagos or Abuja ?
Still cant see any open dates for Lagos as at 10 minutes ago.

Hello House,

I already have an interview date in March at the US embassy in Abuja. I just found out that the date has to be within 120 days of resumption.
My question is how do I reschedule to another date and this time choose the embassy in Lagos without paying another VISA fee ?

Got my passport back today with my visa on it cheesy .
My visa was approved on Wednesday 13th January.
Exactly two months ago, I was denied at Lagos consulate with a different school. Here is my profile and interview for the first attempt :
University of South Carolina.
Funding : in state tuition + $250 per semester.
Deficit : 33k.
Course : Computer Science Msc
Status : Denied

After you were denied the first time and your expedited appointment request denied, did you pay another VISA fee.
How does the whole process work.

Mine was denied last week, mailed them the following day and their decision was changed same day.

Already got a date. 23rd December.

Any ideas if any one who was previously denied that still got their emergency request granted

Hello Guys

My emergency appointment request was granted (previously refused visa in Lagos on 6th November), I applied on 25th and got a mail about an hour ago saying it’s limited to those that has not been refused within 6 months. I got another mail saying it has been approved and then another mail saying it has been refused. I then login to my account to reschedule and I was able to schedule for December 4. This is Abuja, I just received a confirmation mail (I hope they don’t turn me back at the gate�).

So for guys like me, you can try. My program start date is 19th January. I hope I get favored this time.
Good news. Can you please share the contents of the email you sent them.
I'm hoping to get the same favor.

Dont try it o. Push for abuja and not lagos. I got denied for emergency appointment today, I quickly canceled and chose abuja. was lucky to see december dates.
How about those who got denied once. Should we only try Abuja for expedited appointments ?

Please house, a friend of mine needs help on what to do;

She was denied Visa last month. Her sponsor's account is a corporate account with the exact amount as with her 1 year estimated cost.
Now, she will be having her second interview in December but she's contemplating on whether to get a statement of account from someone else with a personal account and a higher available balance or she should stick with the initial statement she took to the previous one that she got denied. She doesn't have any funding from the school.

Please, everyone's contribution is welcomed to this as she's very confused about what to do. Thanks in anticipation.

I think most times its advisable to have a SOA with x2 of what the cost of attendance is. Also how was she able to get another date after denial?

Hello all,

To those that got denied. I was also denied yesterday 16th November. I filled a new DS 160 form and I have just been able to book an appointment for 7th December here in Abuja so you could try. Good luck to everyone trying to get a new date.

Thanks for sharing. Did you create a new CGI account for this ?

If you have cancelled or rescheduled before, then you'd need to pay VISA fee cuz one can only cancel or reschedule once. If you've not, you can terminate your Lagos appointment and book with Abuja if you're sure of early available dates in Abuja.

Can applicants who got denied VISA, apply for expedited appointments ?

In my opinion, $44K is too much. What happened to schools that are less expensive?
You can try again if you feel you will do better during your next interview.

This is the only one I applied and got admitted into. I'm considering giving it another try but is it advisable to choose Abuja this time instead of Lagos.
Also, the earliest date I'm seeing are for March and April 2021 and since I was denied, will I be eligible for expedited appointment if I book those dates.

It looks like you didn't prepare or have clearly outlined reasons for choosing UC. If there's any part you're to stutter, it shouldn't be "why this school?" This is the key question during the interview, except where the consular isn't really interested in knowing. What's the cost of attendance on your i-20?
The cost of my I-20 is $44k, no funding but I have a sponsors statement of account of a little over $100k.
I guess I was a bit nervous that's why I stuttered but he didn't even let me finish one sentence.
Any ideas on what I can do differently ? Perhaps, may be how I can start my responses.
Thanks for taking out time to respond, I very much appreciate.

Vo: what does he do ?
Me: he’s into the sales and distribution of automobile spare parts and heavy machinery..

Hello guys, please advise what I said wrong from the transcript.
Also, how can I get a new appointment before January. The earliest date on my portal is April 21st.
Do I need to open a new account with a different email address ?
Do I need to create a new DS-160 form or update the previous one ?

On the DS-160 form I only entered university (Bsc) degree. Is there any need to enter details for the secondary school as well ?

Hello House,
I need help about the DS-160 form.
I'll be using a sponsor statement as proof of funds but I chose "SELF" from the options in this screenshot.
Do I need to refill my DS-160 form or the field means who's paying for my flight as against for the program.

Thank you. I was getting my DS-160 form but stopped at the SEVIS fee section. Looks like it is required.
Yes you can pay the visa fee and then the Sevis fee later. Just ensure you pay the Sevis at least 3 days before your interview
