Is this really the case? All I've been getting is false hope since this lockdown started smh.

After all, they just mentioned those 6 times and nothing else. So how do we know if they will have any more slots?

I even went to pay for the MRV even though I've had one that the US Embassy was supposed to re-verify but didn't. I thought there'll be multiple slots for each time, not just one, which seems like it was the case.

Very disappointing, can't lie.

I am sorry about how you feel. But what you call false hope is actually "waiting", and waiting comes with uncertainties. Yet it doesn't mean what you want will not happen. You just have to wait more until it finally happens. That's better than giving up, considering all the sacrifices you have made.

Curious2020:
Good day y'all, I've been following this thread tho i don't really know how to use NL, it's kinda tough to navigate dic site.

Pls I'm applying to 20 schools in the US, only about 11 do provide css profile fee waiver to international students, while others don't at all, pls how do I raise the deficit? at least about four of em accept the ISFAA or how did you applied if the cost proves prohibitive to you?
Pls help a brother!

How do you raise the deficit? Apply to the 11 schools that offer application fee waivers. No do pass your power. 11 schools are more than enough for you, considering the fact that you're going to settle for just 1 school at the end of the day. Most applicants going for undergraduate degree apply to 3-6 schools at most. 11 is just more than enough. If you insist you must apply to 20 schools, sit down and plan how to raise the application fees for the remaining schools.
All the best!

No need to rush anything, so you'll not make expensive mistakes that you jeopardize your chances.
They just opened the site, and I am sure that before the end of the day, those who need dates will be able to book.

The 6-day slots are more than enough for all F, J & M applicants in Nigeria. I am sure that during normal operational hours, the U.S embassy interviews more than 100 applicants per day. So, if that figure is close, that is like 600 F, M, J applicants for the entire slots. Guys, all of you will have date! Relax. Also, I think they only want to interview in Lagos, which I think is fine.

If date is not showing on your appointment-scheduling profile yet, give it time, or wait 7PM or tomorrow.
The dates will not finish.

Evicted as predicted by the masses


As people are getting evicted one after the other from BBNaija, so will all these gods of religion be getting evicted gradually from the minds of human beings on earth here. Jehovah, Allah, Ahura Mazda, El, etc will all be evicted from the minds of humanity and they will become freethinkers rather than remaining in the bondage of religion.

Jehovah, Allah, Moloch, Ahura Mazda and thousands of religious gods like them are currently held captive in a spiritual cage by the gods of science.

Yet, Jehovah still love you, because He designed you by His very own Hands. How marvellous!!!
There's nothing you can say to bring His wrath on you. At the end of the day, you will see His Hands in your life, starting from today. And you will live to talk about His power, not against Him. Amen

Friedpotato:
someone should double confirm this because I did the opposite.

solihp has been there before, so I believe she's telling you from personal experience that worked for her as for everyone else. So, go ahead.
Have you made specific travelling plan? No. Once you choose that option, another column will show asking for information on when you'd like to travel/arrival date. Just select a date up to 1 week to your program start date (as on the i-20) there. 1 week should be enough to settle down before class starts.

All the best.

solastar2:
Hello all, I need your opinion. In my form I-20, my major was written as "Engineering, General" instead of Chemical Engineering. What do you think is advisable for me to write in my form DS160? Engineering or Chemical Engineering

Your school used SEVIS-designated term for your program on the I-20. It's not always the term used by your school for its programs. "Engineering, General" is the available term in the SEVIS system, and under which "Chemical Engineering sit. Fill in the DSFORM the program you're admitted for: Chemical Engineering. During the interview, give your response around Chemical Engineering, the Consular will understand.

Shuayb0:
Hello everyone.

Thanks for all the insights.

I made a mistake with sponsor surname when filling ds-160 (inputted his middle name as surname) and I already submitted.

Can I fill another application and use on visa appointment or just swear an affidavit and take to interview, while maybe explain the discrepancy to the VO.

You can fill another form, but make sure the new dsform ID is updated on the appointment-scheduling site.

Sharon8:
Good morning, please who is responsible for changing the school's start date on the SEVIS system?

Your school in the US. This means you have to get updated i-20 for the admission term you've been admitted, let's say Spring 2021 or Fall 2021. Contact your school.

Pefuele:
I always look forward to seeing you and TSWood online though you have different perspectives.

Exactly what I was saying; I see things differently and I have to, because life and things have many colours, and people see these colours from different angle. It is people who idiotically assume that they're better than others that want everybody else to shift their views and bend to them. I think this guy has phychosis and obsessive urge to bully people online, and make fun out of it. A married man who has a healthy social life and mingle with diverse people from different backgrounds would never be comfortable attacking people's views here and there on the internet.

TWoods:
Go for it, make a fool of yourself
You have a serious inferiority complex. It’s obvious from your obsessive need to be liked around here. Grow up, the world doesn’t revolve around you and your hypocrisy.

Indeed, the education you received was a waste of precious resources that the school and your parents should have invested on someone else.
For you to have reached that conclusion about a person you do not know says a lot about your personality. It's obvious you're a choleric, and you see the world in your own way and wants to force everybody else to see it that way.
It's a pity your parents did not inculcate in you how to be a fair and reasonable adult.
Don't forget: You are nobody to dictate how to see things!
I will not stoop to your level and use any more words on you.
Keep being the bully that you are.

TWoods:
Unclear what all these is intended to convey. I'm always puzzled by the propensity for Nigerians to genuflect to others based on societal status.

This is an anonymous forum, if you don't like the tone of a post, you can simply ignore it. You've been just as rude without knowing the status of others too.

You're just an ignorant person. I wonder what type of education you recived from the U.S!
That post was almost 2 months old. We have all moved on from it, and I was only clarifying on a subject, and the original commenter did not object. It was brought up by the user who said he needed help. Must you ignorantly object to whatever I write that you did not like? Se won ran e simi ni?

I have warned you several times to avoid me on this thread. We are two different people with different views on certain things. You're nobody to puzzle on my comments, and it is none of my business however you feel. Deal with you idiotic manner! I am not here to please you or share views that matches your own. The same avoidance on posts you were advising me with could have been followed if you're an intelligent person.

You simply never need to mention me or quote me on this thread, never ever. Avoid me, okay? The distance between me and you is as far as the West is from the East. Please stay away from mentioning me. The next time you do it, I am going to use some very strong words on you!

Ozmar:
Can you link me to any of those people you mentioned please? You may be the help I seek right now..

Hmm! They have been many people, especially from this thread, some of which I am no no longer in touch with since they got their visas in 2019. There are currently two ladies on this thread that are bank branch managers and head of her bank department. For privacy reasons, I cannot mention their usernames, but if you tell me what you need help with, I can ask them if they can help. What do you need help with?

Zzor:
Men, your virginity is the only precious thing you can offer your wife on your wedding night,it will be such a wonderful experience knowing fully well that your husband is a complete novice and you are the first woman he will be coming close to. That innocence and shyness will be priceless,that cluelessness he will display about it is breathtaking,his learning process and how you watch him master the act through you will be an everlasting memory and not all these non virgin men that will be turning people's daughters 360 degrees and still tell you the bed won't be enough for their cravings na wa ooo.Virgin men,please continue to keep and protect yourself for your future wife,theres a great reward that comes after it. When I said virgin men,im talking about men being virgin in totality and not the one's that have become prostitutes with their hands(masturbators).Keep being a pride for us, God bless all virgin men amen.

tmphoto:
Hello,
I want to ask for the assistance of y’all, as the rush hour for the interview is about to begin.

I’ve gotten my [/b]New I-20 Form[b] by Email but I also have the Old one sent by Mail Post. And I want to make the application for the F1 Visa

1) How can I pay the the [/b]Visa Application Fee[b]
2) How and which [/b]Forms[b] am I to fill to apply for the Visa and to also make appointment
3) How can I pay the [/b]SEVIS-FEE,[b] I read somewhere that we can pay only by [/b]Western Union Quick Pay[b] from Nigeria
4) My [/b]Sponsor[b] is my Uncle, but do not bear the same Surname, what documents do I need to bring along to the Embassy for that

Thanks in advance for the Input.

I think you have not been following up. You need to read other pages of this thread to grasp things.
Since I have some minutes here, let's see.

1, take your international passport to GTB to make the visa payment. They will tell you how much is it when you get there. Indicate you are paying for Academic, F1.
2a, Fill DS160 according to where and how it applies to you. Print a copy of your application for your record.
2b, Create account on https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?country=Nigeria
3, SEVIS FEE can only be paid through Western Union and money order, but since you are in Nigeria, your best shot is Western Union, and you have to find someone in the US to make the payment, or send the $350 to someone in the US, add transfer fee, or as they request. Otherwise, go to benin Republic, but this is not so easy.
4, it doesn't matter who you have as sponsor--so long this person is your actual sponsor and has the financial strength to carry the load while you're in the US as non-immigrant. My only concern is, what is his income and how much is your total cost of attendance?

You need to read this thread. Start from page 1 for full understanding of what you're getting into, so you'll not mess it up.

All the best!

DonnyE:
Please is it possible to submit more than one bank statement of the same sponsor? Should both documents be combined in a single pdf document?

For admission, yes (however, let each statement be in separate PDF).
For embassy, yes. You're to take both copies for your interview. (as given from the bank, not photocopy or scanned).

Beblessedbaba:
I can also vouch for him .

Great dude

Baba o! ! You saw this one. Chai! I was about sending you a message on WhatsApp.
Thank you bro!

goodmorning40:
You can vouch for who you no see him face
How are you sure he is not a woman
You yourself you have kos kos for vouching for a faceless fellow

Zzor said the truth about me, and I am not a woman.

Zzor:
Fairheart:ladies I can vouch for him,his type are the very few left in this whole world,hes a darling in all ramifications and a very disciplined young man and also very hardworking.Im already envying the woman he eventually settles down with.God bless you dear

Awww! Rose! Thank you very much. I feel honoured, and I am happy to have told you about me and my ideals.
God bless you!

4Play:
Just saw this on Twitter. Part of the Trump administration's racist policies.

It's important to note that under these proposals, you can still study for a four year degree as a Nigerian but you will have to renew your visa after every 2 years.

It is not new. The U.S has always issued 2 years visa to F-1 applicants, even when your program is for 4 years. F1 applicants are expected to renew when the initial visa expires. But most students don't renew. So with this new policy, I think they will be forced to do that!
I think this is a good policy.

Walspring:
Someone told me yesterday that they posted new update on their website about visa interview for students and medicals but I haven’t seen the link to read it myself.

Oh, please share the link when you find it.
Thank you for the update. I trust you're doing well?

uche06:
Please is it possible for one to still get Visa appointment this year in Lagos or Abuja.

It is possible, if embassy opens. The possibility hangs on if the US embassy resumes operation this year.

RukayatAkanji:
Please guys, can someone help post the link to where one can book an appointment for F1 Visa interview

The U.S embassy is closed at the moment, so you can't book appointment for F1 interview. I'd advice you relax and follow US Embassy on Facebook or Twitter. That way, you'll know when they annouce to resume visa applications. All the best!

dollynnn:
why not now?

Because this subject requires a fair assessment. More so, it is complicated. But I'd still love to share what I think about it with you.

stanliwise:
You must be a joker, inculcate what?
You are starting to believe this redpill nonsense.
If you’re looking for real men quality then here you won’t get it. Here is a thread for Supremacy theory.

What is supremacy theory?

A youth for that matter!! complaining of two-paragraph texts. Learn to communicate with diction and concisely. This is not one of the high caste qualities of classic men that red pills seek to inculcate in young men here. And learn to mind your business in a matter you do not have knowledge on.

Regex:
No vex oh... But No I'm not a redpiller, and I'm doing fine and you would have spared you all this long ni.


Some people sef

bobowaja:
Always resist the urge to shalaye. Now that u have explained everything to her with ur simplified mind, tell me, what now is ur mysterious card over her? This same woman u decided to dishonor urself for opened a thread looking for "rich old men" to date.

Do you see why I said there are many young men on this thread? And you just displayed the attitude of a young man that has yet to learn how to relate with people and understand them. It also shows your focus is chronically on women. If you think I have a simple mind when you don't know anything about me, what does that says about you (as the so-called alpha) or redpiller?
I don't have any mysterious card over the girl; I am too old to be playing games known with small boys who are looking to get girls laid. When I want a girl, after I have assessed her admirable qualities (not merely look), I go after her. It is men who are not fit that plays card; evolved men don't do it, because they have a long list of women they can pick from, without being manipulative or playing some stupid cards. That way, these women become submissive and soft in their arms. That is the category I belong to!
Mind you, the girl is in her early youth, and still young and learning. Explaining was intentional, but you wouldn't know that because your mind has been programmed against women. I am sure the mentioned thread was opened to seek attention and read diverged opinions, but if she meant it, that is her wish...I have nothing against it. Hypergamy--the search for a superior class male over the inferior ones--is allowed. As a young man that you are, you're the one that should understand yourself, your purpose, your talent, and groom yourself so that women see you as a member of the high caste, rather than inventing mysterious cards to play on women. Evolved men don't chase women, except the ones they find too rare and one of a kind. Women come after this type of men because they are so personable, powerful in their niche, and are considered "better" over other men.

Next time, read objectively and understand that not everyone on Nairaland is your mate.

Zzor:
Have you become a redpiller?hope you are good

Hi Rose! It's been a while. I know this is a thread for young men that are trying to educate themselves about the woman nature, forgetting that those who did not know and understand themselves cannot understand others. The knowledge of the woman nature begins with and ends with a man who understands himself and his purpose on earth as a man. I have never seen a man who knows himself that is not able to handle a woman like a real man. He is called the "evolved man", and he is not common at all.
In my opinion, some of what is being shared on the thread are important as education against manipulative women (who are increasingly sprouting at every corner of our society due to loss of values and ideals), but I'd expect the emphasis on the nature of man himself, and not on the woman.
Most of the young men on the thread don't know themselves and what a great man embodies, which is a huge subject area itself. Having said that, I am not a redpiller! But pansophist is really an enlightened human being and I resonate with some of his expository comments Nairaland-wide, which is why you saw my comment under his comment. And I've been good. How are you doing yourself?

chinasajudith92:
Please can I dm you too??

You're welcome

Alistervibes:
Sir @fairheart i will like to communicate with you. I have pm you

I replied. Thank you!

Beautifully written! You're indeed exposed.
The bold sentence is damn accurate.

pansophist:
Bros, like I said before. I didn't point a gun at any chronic masturbators to stop. All I'm saying is that a man should not settle, and should aim at being a quality man that women will naturally want to have sex with. I've been on both sides (being undesired and desired by women), and I know how it feels to be romantically undesirable, I know that place too well.

I did my bachelor degree in the Scandinavia, and bro, that place is hell social wise. It's a sanctuary for introverts, and hell for your average naija extroverted personalities. Making friends, social life and fun is so difficult, and the dark, freezing and long winters didn't help the issue. Even with your money self, you can't buy sex, since those folks are fucking rich. Forget the tales of white women chasing after black deek, it is a lie propagated by porn, or at least, the women won't be the best of women.

Wallowing in self-pity was automatic, but I didn't bulge down. I took up fitness, started a fitness class at the local gym, got shredded physically, learn the language, and little by little, I begin to assimiliate into society. I became known in my small city, and that was how I made lots of friends, have lots of girls to choose from, that I'm even tired of women.

I'm writing this to tell you that as a man, the world does not give a Bleep if you're suffering, and you have to save yourself. Only women and kids are loved, not men. All I wrote here was just a summary of when I was a student then as a young teenager, alone with no friends and family. It was hard. Faced depression for the first time in my life even in the midst of material abundance, but I rise up everytime.

If I was in naija and this was happening, I'll just go and fck a prostiture if the horn.y worse. So go to the mirror and examine yourself properly. Ask yourself, what are you doing to make yourself attractive within your abilities? You got pot-belly? Loose it. Bad teeth? See a dentist. Read more and increase your vocabulary, and just keep improving. And oh, I noticed naija girls are sucker for good vocabulary. Every time I visit naija, I realise girls turn head when I speak with clear diction, and it somehow gives them a good impression of me automatically, that's a good head start. What are you good at?

Your average 21st century women lives online. Put your skills on social media and start garnering followers, na you go tire. I've been there, done it and left. So bros, both roads are difficult, but I'll choose the difficult road of self-improvement, not masturbation.

ItsTerah:
20.

Oh! At this age, my dear, focus on self-development. Mom and Dad will not always pay bills to meet your needs, so focus on education and career, so that when your parents say they have done their best, you'll be capable to take it from them.

ItsTerah:
I know I'm going to get alot of insults from you guys and that's why I didn't use my original Nairaland account for this, but please hear me out and give me good advice.

I'm the kind of girl that doesn't love easily. I don't think I've ever fallen in love before. I have dated just one guy and I broke up with him when he tried to rape me. I'm still a virgin and the reason is because I have trust issues. I know that if I have sex with a guy I'll become very attached and my heart can easily be broken. So I'm waiting for a guy I can trust.

I recently just started dating someone. I'm not in love with him but we've been very good friends and when he asked me out I just had to say yes so that I wouldn't lose him. I've still not had sex with him and I like that he respects my wishes. My boyfriend loves me and although I don't love him equally I've opened up to him about how difficult it is for me to reciprocate love.

Then there is this other guy I just became friends with. I won't lie, I'm sexually attracted to this guy. My sexual attraction to him intensified when he opened up to me about his kinks which are similar to mine. He told me he has feelings for me and likes me alot and can't get me out of his mind. I admitted I am sexually attracted to him but that I don't have feelings for him. I know he is sexually attracted to me and has made advances at me and even asked for nude pictures all of which I refused. But I still talk to him. He knows about my boyfriend and is aware of my situation. Occasionally he flirts with me but I try not to flirt back. I've tried to bury my sexual attraction to him but he is just so physically appealing. I've made it clear that I want to be just friends and he seems okay with it. I know I'm principled enough to not allow him have sex with me I'm wondering if it's safe being just friends with him. I enjoy talking to him and don't want to end our friendship.

My dear, the bold sentence above is what makes some Nigerian ladies "Olosho", as they're so-called.
What is the difference between sexually attracted to a guy and having feelings for him? Are these two different thing like East and West? This is the first time I'm reading this. What is the difference between feelings and sexual attraction? If you don't know that sexual attraction to a man is an embedded part of having feelings for the same man, then how are you even going to know the right man for yourself? You don't sound like an enlightened young woman to me!! You need to look around you for women of substance and deep life experience and pick one as a mentor and role model. It appears you lack one right now.

Anyway, this is my advice for you:
1, You are naive and haven't experimented with self-control. You need to be very careful as keeping the guy who you said is physically appealing is going to cause you more trouble than you can handle. Guys like this damage ladies and I promise when he's done, he would have taken you out of your innocent and bright world to a dark world, where there's a likelihood to be lost forever. You'll become a sex machine, lose your original boyfriend and you'll be emotionally damaged (this is when a woman is unable to bond with just a partner; you find moving to the next guy for the sexual experiment a necessity to sustain your imbalanced sexual emotions). Stay away from him.

2, How do you want to live your life? Starting off like this will cost you more than you can pay for. As a young woman, humanity is calling you to stand for something, as a good force. If you are craving sex, give it to your original boyfriend and let him know you are here to stay. Develop reasons to love him. Good men are increasingly becoming scarce. By good men, I mean guys/men who are truly into their women and would stick to her no matter what. Most guys these days are fuvk boys, sleep with you, gift you with temporary things, and dump you like a rag. Is that what you want? Stay with one man and make bettering your life a priority. Whoring will damage the stable and beautiful emotional potentials still locked within you for your future husband.

3, Learn contentment. Most ladies these days are not contented. You guys have failed to emulate your mothers, who settle down and love your fathers wholeheartedly. Develop contentment. If your boyfriend doesn't have six-packs and you want him to because it appeals to you, then tell him to hit the gym. One of the reasons guys hit the gym is because they want to look appealing to a potential babe; I am doing it myself in addition to the health benefit. What do you like about the guy you are sexually attracted to? His beard? or na because he appears to have money? Encourage in the guy that truly loves you the qualities you admire in other guys you're sexually drawn to. Be content, or let go of this guy who has committed himself to you. Free him and don't suffer his heart.

4, Be different. At the end of the day, you'd choose between whoring and becoming a sex object that every sexually appealing guy you see can get laid OR become a woman of substance, education, virtuous, intelligence, mannered, and headed towards a life of honour and respect her children would be proud of years ahead. Which do you prefer?

5, Say NO to Oloshonism!!!
