lol You just reinforced some of the points made by the “racoons”. One size doesn’t fits it all in terms of showing home ties. Either by having a good job, a family in Nigeria or whichever way, you need to show ties to Nigeria.


At end of they it’s still at the discretion of the VO, You might be jobless, single and still get approved.

Sammyup:
Please y'all should enlighten me on this issue.
I got my Visa fee around October last year (2023) and scheduled my appointment for Feb 2025.

Does that mean my MRV receipt will still be valid till the date choosen or not ?

I'm asking this question because it's duration is a year and am somehow confused.

Hoping to see early date thou.

Someone should put me through please.

Hi please I will be glad to get your opinions on this issue. I am. Ghanaian and I'm married. I am in my early 30s. I got my b1/b2 visa in 2023. The reason of the first visit was for a conference. I indicated I will be spending 10days in my ds-160 form however I spent 3 weeks thats 21 days. I later on in the year went to the uS in December same year for the Christmas and New year holidays. For that I spent 4 weeks.
At the time I was entering the US for the second time I had already received admission for law program from two schools. But I still returned after my vacation and came back to apply for my F1 Visa. Here in Ghana you can use dropbox to change from b1/b2 visa to f1 which I did because I still have a valid us visa for four more years remaining.
I have a full tuition scholarship of $45,000 but i and my father are sponsoring the remainder of my other living expenses, fees and books which amounts to $26,000.
But when I did the dropbox the embassy asked for only my I-20 with no other supporting documents to be attached whether admissionor scholarship letter. Two weeks after the submission I received a refusal under 221g asking to schedule a follow-up interview.
Please I would like to find out what possible questions I should prepare for and if there's any red flag in my history I should prepare for.

I have a good job and good educational history. I already hol dan MBA from Ghana and I truly attended a conference, I have attendance certificate to back my claim.
Kindly help me with any Contribution

Please admissions for 2025 have they started cos all I see is for fall 2024, and I do not know if I can meet up. Thanks

yinkhar:
Congrats on your history lesson fool! Yes I got here in 2020 and I have achieved more than what you idiot has been scrambling for since 2008. It’s not how far but how well. Now I know you truly a dimwit with empty skull. Be here on Nairaland dragging seniority Irritant Peasant chairman!

yinkhar:
Irritant peasant! With what I have achieved in US so far, your generations are still crawling out of the miserable hole you created for them

yinkhar:
You are the biggest fool I have ever encountered. “H” factor or not, sense is not in your empty skull. Reply as usual because I have time, you birdbrain nincompoop!

If you were as successful as you claim to be in the US, you wouldn't be here bragging about nonsense. I've followed this thread and noticed you write like the dimwit you are. Just because others have a different opinion on a subject doesn't warrant you insulting them.

Nobody forces you to give advice on NL, so shove your egotistical arrogance where it belongs: in the trash!

liliberth:
Hello please, I am finding it hard to get universities for fall 2025, I am interested in public health at masters level and I do not want to apply through SOPHAS.

Will be glad if anyone can suggest universities that are easy to apply to. Thanks

BigIyanga:
I dont have any contrary opinion in regard to getting your visa from another country other than your country of citizenship and residence…

But you still have to prove strong home ties to your country. Different requirements for visa renewal.

BigIyanga:
Come out with your original moniker with your full chest 😂😂

BigIyanga:
You’re just hustling for subscribers to your Dundee United Team Fooolery Show.. You created a fake moniker in 2024 to talk about you visa renewal success in Mexico/Canada without proving your home ties?

So your brain is this calcified?

BigIyanga:
eSoyinka,
So as a first time applicant, you applied for your US visa in Mexico while living in Naija or you renewed your US visa in Mexico and Canada?
You really need to go back to Naija application 101. Dont put out your ignorance on 3-d yet.. season it with maggi,knorr and suya spices… 😂😂

Rdfactor:
I’m sorry but this is wrong! Or Do you mean you were already in Canada or Mexico studying, and you then apply for US F-1 visa, and of course attended the interview there, or you basically had to fly from Nigeria to Canada just for the interview , without having to show any home tie

Or you were basically renewing? If you were renewing , then you’d be right! But applying fresh, and you had to go to Canada to have ur interview, it might be sufficient to clarify this so that people won’t get confused

BigIyanga:
This is the ‘wrongest’ of opinions posted here

OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠

1. Now every one knows you are here because of me based on your last words and i knew your mission is to come and support @fearlessfang in the beginning.

2. Go away with your fake visa transcripts. It doesn't work for me . I have never flex muscle of travel histories. Its not a criterion for becoming a USA visa advisor or counselor.

3. I have worked as an apprentice under 3 different USA Visa Attorneys . I am still learning (correspondence program) Educational Psychology/Guidance and Counselling. I have worked personally as a travel agent (based on USA visa only) with offices for more than 15 years before i gave it up.

4. I am now an International Admission & Visa Consultant (Based on USA visa types alone). I am also a registered apprentice under a USA based Immigration Attorney. ** My plan is to become an American Immigration Attorney when i finally relocated .

5. Therefore , tell @fearlessfang, @Debieeeeeee and others of your click that my experiences is not based on having a USA visa or living inside USA.

6. I work online. With phones and laptops. I am constantly online because of businesses and courses. I have the time to use Nairaland as a training ground . Why are you counting the number of my responses?


Best Wishes 🙏

yinkhar:
[s]Mr know-it-all!

Please leave peasant word alone. You have used it in all your responses that it’s no longer useful. We want new insults to make the bragging more interesting.

NB: I definitely know you will insult me too but I no mind sha don’t use your atenumo insult “irritant peasant” [/s]🤪

Excellence100:
Agent or not, welldone to everyone responding here. But we must also accept the fact that no one knows it all, else, our education is useless.

Mr OyoTunjiUSA, if people have to prove ties to the respective countries they're present in, rate of US visa issuance for Nigerians in foreign countries would be very low, but that's not the case.

While it may not compulsorily be your home country (depending on your visa status or engagement in the country you are at that moment), you must tie your visa interview response to going back somewhere after your studies.

It might be your home country as it is in the post I'm quoting or the country you're seeking visa from, if you're established and have ties there

To me, it doesn't look like these things have rigid restrictions as they're being painted here. And the whole back and forth is not necessary

Somatohadidas:
Lol. Maybe I should help you with more info.

I am not sure you are even genuine. You were looking for admission at one time and had a valid US student visa at another. The next time you are looking for a Schengen visa. I think many of you folks should be more truthful. It wouldn't hurt.

OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠

*** USA visa is not a piece of cake.
*** It is not a respecter of any person
*** It's not a respecter or your location .
*** It's a chameleon (u can't understand it).


1. Regardless of your current visitor's visa, you still have to qualify (just like a person who has not gotten any US visa b4) for your F1 visa to be granted.

2. While applying for your F1 visa, your current B1/B2 visa can even be revoked with prejudice (* you cannot apply for any visa and if you do, it will automatically be rejected) if your records shows abuse of your current B1/B2 visa.

3. You may even apply for change of status from B1/B2 to F1 filed on the Form I-539 but that means the only way you can enter the USA is by lying to the CBP officer at the port of entry , so it's highly inadvisable to pull this stunt.

4. Don't listen to anyone saying since you are in the UK and you have B1/B2 visa already , therefore it would be easier. Such people actually don't understand the nuances of USA visa types and the highly experienced consulars who are well trained to understand visa conspiracies.

5. If we start UK /USA visa opinion polls on Nairaland today , you will be marveled to see the population of Nigerians who have being finding it difficult to enter the USA from the UK, even from Canada and Australia.

6. Follow all the rules and policies of F1 visa and be certain that you meet the conditions.

7. USA Consulars hates with passion the attitude of its my right , or over-confidence or i am different to others in visa applicants .

8. In order to stop the spread of such beliefs , your visa can be denied even if you are 100% qualified but with such hallmarks .


Best Wishes 🤠

Hey 🤠

@Latona2.

1. Enough of your twisting and figure of speech. I am not an agent . Have you visited my office before ?

2. Post the loopholes to the general public let them see it.

3. For your information. Any one who contacts me outside nairaland for visa advice or process would be billed if the procedure will take my time and money. Many travel agents will bring jobs to me after collecting millions and failed their apllicants and you expect me to do it free of charge ?

4. How much data or compensation has Nairaland authorities given me ? I use money to source for my information and I dedicate time to understand it before posting it to the public .

5. If you contact me for help or assistant outside Nairaland I will ask you for financial compensation. THAT IS JUST THE TRUTH. I don't have offices , I don't have any WhatsApp group or any other social groups. I challenge anyone with evidence to post it on nairaland if you have any info about my travel agent offices or groups i have created .


Best Wishes 🙏

Latona2:
And you can’t see that ;

(1) I am on vacation and I only have one credit card with me?

Well, I’m not rich. Can I send my number so that u can Zelle me?

Latona2:
cc Gerrard59,

Everyone, I have a valid US student visa but I am currently in Nigeria and I wish to apply for France visit visa. I have my money in a US bank account but it’s less than 3k USD. I don’t have a job in Nigeria right now that I am doing. I have never applied for a Schengen visa before. What are the documents that I’ll probably need to apply

And one important question: does it make sense for a Nigerian to submit account statement in USD to the embassy?

Latona2:
Johnson city isn’t that big to have miss a braggadocio like you . And beside, using the Johnson city transit doesn’t say anything about your income level. Even the locals use it!

Latona2:
On february 3rd, you were looking for visa date for a kid u were helping with admission

And on February 16th at 2AM, the same kid you were helping look for visa date on February 3rd is still the same kid you were helping look for admission

Don’t admission come before you look for visa?

I know what you are. But it’s fine

Latona2:
You didnt attend ETSU bro.. it’s so hard to miss you amidst the many Nigerians who did. You didmt !

Latona2:
The guy you mentioned is actually an agent.. I can find loopholes to nail him on this from his numerous post here but I don’t have the time. However, OyoTunjiUSA has been very useful here, and his answer indeed help those who are lookin for one. But can we say the same about you? No! You’re so full of yourself and your answer are basically so negative tahr one guy literally had to ask you the other day why were you so negative tahr he won’t be giving visa as if you’re the VO

Latona2:
Either you’re an agent who’s been contacted to help their kid with admit and visa applications
Or

You are helping your wife apply for Admit to come meet you

Or

You are the one who need the admit
