GboyegaD:
Remember as well, many of these Chinese and Japanese wants to go back to their home country after school unlike us. That could also add to it.

Nutshell44:
No. You can’t be arrrsted. You will only get the details of ur refusal with ur passport and probably your ban too. But God forbid sha. Lol

omoobaadeNGR:
Hello all,

Please how long (on the average) does it take universities to generate/issue i-20 after fulfilling the financial requirements?

homirefacuny:
Damn it mhen...Naija ti cast o. Lol
Only people with 100% tuition waiver can worry less about this SOA of a thing and those who are extremely sure about the source of the acciunt

GboyegaD:
I no know of VO no get patient ooo. I sha just love American embassy for naija the two times wey I go there. My first one, na so two boys dey form accent dey disturb. One nack short dey pose everywhere. When dem deny the guy, accent change. For my mind, I just laugh say see human being. There I met a few guys who have been to the embassy over 5 times and they were super negative. I just told one I do not care and I am going back to work after interview. I even slept while waiting for my number to appear on screen. I got it and one guy who jumped the queue when we were coming in and was denied claimed I should have been the one that was denied I just laughed.
The second time I went, I just got back that week and I needed to change my F1 visa to B1/B2. I enjoyed the drama although not as much as my first time. Each time I renewed my B1/B2, it was always same questions which are what school I finished from and where my sister lives in the US.
In it all, one thing I learnt is that one just need be patient and enjoy the conversation. I believe the ability to be calm coupled with good preparation would make one have a great experience.

GboyegaD:
I am not sure about the part of the person holding onto the F1 visa holder's original passport. I feel it is a very sensitive and personal document. I know a few who have gone for F2 visas without the original passport and I think a copy of the biodata page of the F1 visa would suffice since the VO like homeland would likely be able to call up the F1 visa if they have to.

LagosismyHome:
This is no victim ooo. went to the embassy knowing it a fake .

GboyegaD:
Is it possible you give them a call? This helps ensure it is treated ASAP as they will likely respond to mails in the order they are received.

homirefacuny:
Hmm... Well I wish him the best. He will be extremely lucky not to earn a ban. For others seeing this post.... If you want to check the genuineness of your SOA... Just try to transfer funds using any mobile app to the said account.. If it comes up with the name as written on the statement. Then it's fine, then you are left with knowing the account balance. At least you know that the statement is real. It's well

GboyegaD:
Isn't this impersonation or why should someone hold someone else's passport if the person isn't there in person with her?

homirefacuny:
You are new on this platform right? It's obvious you don't know the gravity of your offense . Will some agents make heaven like this? You should have cancelled the appointment!!! Now you have succeeded in grabbing your share of 10 gidigba ban

Sorry bro. You have learnt the hard way. If you were on a full ride, your SOA would not have been taken probably but then it's wrong in its entirety to present fakesl docs to the consulate. Ten years no be 1 Year baba mi. Chai

lasthero:
Another victim of wicked uncle / wicked agent.

Please I will beg all prospective applicants in the name of God or whatever deity you serve. Don't go near Abuja embassy with any of this two.

1. Fake statement of account.

2. Fake travel stamps.

They verify the two after approval or during A.P

And the latest trend is this. Out of every 10 f1 applicants, they will collect soa from atleast 8.

The reason why they won't collect from the remaining 2 is because they are on scholarship / funding / waiver.


Before you visit the embassy for your interview, please go on your kneels and beg that "uncle" or "hanty" of yours to open up to you on the authenticity of the Soa.

You know your uncle lives in a room and palour with his 3 kids, drives a 1995 Toyota and he hands over a bank statement of N10 million naira to you, please use your head and think twice before you earn yourself a ban from the US

Abiseundun:
Hello guys, I have to come out with the truth at this point, the agent sent me the statement of account a day before the interview, so there was nothing I could do to change it, it was a fake, but when I went for the interview, the VO took it and approved my visa, but now on their platform, it's showing refused, meanwhile my passport is still with them. Please I need urgent replies at this time, be it criticism, likely penalty and so on. Thank you all. Please just send me a pm

Adhheir:
Madam, you're a prospective postgraduate student; take it easy and write what you're confident with, this question is too trivial

npmi:
Which is better written.
4/12/2018 or 04/12/2018

npmi:
Do I need to write my address on 1-20

npmi:
Do I need to sign my 1-20

Abiseundun:
Hello everyone, please I don't know how this platform works, neither do I know when I have replies, but please if you would like to help me, kindly send me a mail, cos I don't even know how the PM works. Please this is my question

I went for Us visa interview last week Thursday, and the VO approved it, but when I checked my status online, it read 'refused' and my passport is still not out. Please anyone with similar case or a way out. Please help me out. Thank you

Jpoppins:
I was denied again today . In fact the VO asked me just 4 questions, I answered him well . Asked me who is sponsoring me and what does he do , I told him my father and stated what he does and he just told me I don’t qualify and gave me the blue paper

Kirusky4life:
OK. I have mailed the school . Hoping they reply ASAP. Thanks a lot. Am grateful

Ogunwandetosin:

Kirusky4life:
It is a $1000 scholarship that qualified me for in state tuition.
The scholarship is not showing on my i20 because I have received my i20 b4 it was offered
But I have a letter from the school showing the amount and the things covered by the scholarship issues by the school. I also showed it to the VO but he said I should update it on my profile.
The school is Texas A&M University Commerce
But the white paper the VO gave me, he wrote something like "Update Sevis to reflect scholarship"

Oluwatoyinakinb:
Thanks to you all for your reply they are very helpful @fairheart my F1 dependant already gotten his visa.

Kirusky4life:

He gave me a white paper with my passport back, saying once I update my profile to reflect the scholarship, I should send the prove of update and and my passport via dhl. Pls I don't understand what am suppose to do and the paper he gave me did help much. Anyone had such an experience before, pls where exactly should I do the update. I will Share my full transcript once a decision is made by them. Please help a sister

sensisosu:
what are the documents needed to take for the interview ?

homirefacuny:
Nervous might be too strong a word to use by him but logically the VOs priority is to give visas to students with genuine interest in learning and 'RETURNING' home only!! So this puts them at somewhat very dicey situation of giving visas to worthy applicants. So a lot of psychological calculations is ongoing during the interview. The only advantage they have is they have being trained to hide their emotions during this short nervy moment. That's why visa interview is very subjective.

GboyegaD:
One good tip to tense yourself is to remind yourself you are going to have a conversation. If that doesn't help, then see yourself as a celebrity and the VO as one of your fan who is dying to have a conversation with you. Remember that the VO is as nervous as you are so relax and make yourself comfortable.

This being said, you could also try "Flywire.com" they offer such services globally.
Godspeed!
