yes it can be edited, but a fresh bar code will be generated , to edit the previous submitted one, meaning he/she has to be with the new and old slip. to the best of my knowledge

100kobo:
Any school approved to issue i-20 can earn you approval. However, some schools have been notorious for allowing 'students' to cross over using their documents only to end up abandoning the program. These escape centres are better known as "visa mills" and approval rates for students into those schools are low.
To the best of my knowledge, those 3 are not visa mills.

how will you know the universities that are visa mills

Miirrahh:
Hi, I'm new here. I just attended my F1 visa interview this morning. After the interview, the lady collected my passport, i-20 and bank statements. She said she will need to verify my statements and get back to me.

Lagos or Abuja

100kobo:

Wokeyim:
Hi all. WES didn't accept my NECO transcript. Does it mean I have to start the process with NECO all over? I spent 19,500 pm this process. Below is the message I got from WES concerning the examination results...


Waec examination results: Not Accepted
Reason: WES received your document, but it was not sent directly from the appropriate examining body or institution that awarded your degree/diploma.

Instructions: Please ask the institution that awarded your qualification or the appropriate examining body to send your academic documents to WES in a sealed envelope that is signed or stamped across the back flap by the appropriate official. If you have already contacted the appropriate body, no action is necessary at this time. Refer to Required Documents

although I haven't done WAEC - WES transcript sending and verification, but I sense your transcript wasn't properly sent, do read their instructions again and again

stanana:
Have u been able to resolve this? and how did u go about it. I am currently in the same problem

it has been resolved, contact your school

good evening everyone, is it advisable for F-1 visa applicant to included his foreign Mobile phone number as his secondary phone number column when filling his DS-160 form, as he also state that country as the country he has visited in his DS-160, from your experience is it that advisable ? thanks for your contributions in advance

Nutshell44:
I wasn't given funding, but they said I can apply to be considered for in-state tuition!

is it a state or private university?

Chanbaby:
No issues at all. My first application was in Ireland denied . 2nd Abuja denied and 3rd Lagos Approved.

hubby 1st Abuja denied 2nd Lagos Approved.

thanks for treating my message nicely.

if US visa applicant was denied in Abuja embassy and now when reapplying, is choosing Lagos for next interview be a red flag at the moment? thanks for your suggestions

xdamson:
Yes, that’s a wise step but there is a pitfall you have to be careful of. The almighty question “Why did you come to Abuja after been denied in Lagos”?. Answering this wrongly is an automatic denial!

I was denied in Abuja July and I'm preparing to reapply for spring by December but I'm choosing Lagos this time for my next interview will that be an issue at moment.during my interview thanks for your suggestions.

LagosismyHome:
Visit and transit as two different thing . ... he never came out of the airport so how can he say he visited Egypt. No he did not .

thanks so much for your enlightenment

homirefacuny:
NO!!!
Since it's not documented on the passport. Saying such would raise a, big red flag and might (in most cases) warrant a straight denial. Just mention UAE. Success

thanks so much for your genuine contribution

good morning everyone is it advisable to put the country you transit in as a travel history, but his passport wasn't stamped in that country, in the past someone had travelled to UAE and transited through Egypt, but his passport wasn't stamped in Egypt airport, just 30minutes layover only in UAE his passport was stamped during entry
now when filling his DS-160 form

1. can he put Egypt as one of the country he has visited for last five years?
2. can he say Egypt is one of the countries he has visited when asked at the US embassy, his passport carries no Egyptians sticker is that safe to say to the vo?

Thanks for your contributions , and your candy advice in advance

please can one use Gtbank or Zenith naira MasterCard to make Dirham withdrawal in UAE, and make payment via POS?

good morning everyone I was denied US F-1 visa in July, Abuja, I was adviced to reply, I'm replying next month November, but I'm picking Lagos this time, experts in the house, please I kindly need your advice and suggestions, is picking Lagos give any form of misconception since my previous F-1 visa refusal was in Abuja in July? thanks

100kobo:
You're towing a dangerous part. As I would always advice, do not make claims you are unable to substantiate. It is not difficult to discover the truth from you. If you applied to 1 school, admit it and give a very good reason why you did so. Visa Officers are your friends and are willing to comply with sincere applicants deserving of approval.

I fully applied to two universities, only one granted me admission does that sound nice as a serious student to a VO,?

Enasdan:
if the date of last interviewed was July the next available date is in December making it 5 months, should I choose previously denied in the last two months or choose regular, thanks for your swift responses
