After taking my I20 and passport & right thumb printing...

She asked for my DS160 confirmation page and I gave her.


I want to give glory to God because these questions were from him. I prepared and allowed him to do the rest. Thanks to everyone who posted their transcript. I learnt a lot from them. Praise God!




The details: I deferred my course from Aug 2020 to Spring 21 and I applied for an emergency appointment. I was lucky. I got it. But I had to cancel my appointment after flying into Lagos because of the endSARS protest and also because my SEVIS payment hadn’t reflected (you need to allow 72hrs before appointment I think)
I scheduled another appointment on the 4th of December . The embassy rescheduled it for me to Jan 5th. I can only Praise God that all the effort was not in vain.

ponpon:
What's the way around this date cancellation oh!!!!! They've thrown stone to market and it has met ara-ile!!! What are Abuja dates looking like guys? School starts Jan 11th, and you move person go Jan 5th!

Venerealisles:
So this year my family decided we were gonna come back to naija early for the Xmas celebrations, we also wanted to do Thanksgiving in Nigeria hence the early arrival.

Well, we were back home in Lag, so I decided to go hang out with some of my long time friends, and what I saw shocked me ooh. They were really big now, felt like they were way older than me. To make matters worst, I senior them pretty damn well, but my tiny physique just makes them think otherwise.

The last straw that broke the camel back was when I went over to my cousin's place, only for my Aunt to start saying stuffs like "I look like a toothpick" she even went as far as saying I should start eating enough beans!! Chaii I have suffered .

I will be 25 by December, but yet most people I come across still think I am a teenager, Little did they know that the so called teenager is the owner of a business in Lagos and also a degree holder.

Inspite of my achievements, I feel what they are saying is beginning to get to me, i can't change the way I look, if I could, I'd probably add more height to my physique .

Chonco:
Alright, i know why i asked if the money is actually enough because your I20 will indicate too. Before i continue, did your school actually indicate the Sponsor's name on your I20 or just 'family'? It's important to know this.

If you truly want to make some changes, if yiur application was submitted less than 30 days ago, you may log on to their site and "retrieve an application."
Open the retrieve app and input the initial ID num, remember your security question and proceed correctly and carefully. After that, submit the application and you'll automatically have a new Confirmation num and the bar code, then print

Geewin69:
Any discrepancy or irregularity in the information you present may optimize your chances of getting denied. It's safer and better to be uniform. If your Dad is on your DS form as Sponsor, try to get his SoA.

My two cents.

The gurus in the house will explain better.

Thanks, I appreciate.

Chonco:
Written note may further complicate issues.
Do you bear the same surname with your Uncle?
Hope the money on your Uncle's account will 'almost' the same or above your tuition fee or total fee for your studies as stated on your I20 form?
