You can go for your visa interview starting from 120 days before prog ram start date and even up to the week before the date self, if post-dated , you will need adjustment to your i20 to reflect an extended resumption date if your school granted you one. As for getting two different days, since it seems this is your first time, once you don't get a favourable date, request for emergency appointment. Prepare for that day, why should you have the mind of possible delay, though it happens, but better to have a positive mind. Some have interviewed 10 days, 27 days after previous denial though, just that such chance is really slim. All the best

Temitemi28:
hello guys am new here thank you for having me please is it possible to get an interview date twice before january my resumption date is jan and iam trying to weigh my options to see if its possible to get a date this november and quickly check for another date by december if things dont go right
meanwhile i heard you have to be interviewed 60days before your resumption date how true is this?

I've replied though. I hope you check

Vahn:
same here too, i will send you an email now

Bro, won't you find out if it's regular or expedited date first! What date is Abuja showing you recently? Mine has always been 2023, no change

Vahn:
Please do how do we switch from Abuja to Lagos appointment

Some have sent their EA request already and have received approval this month, Oct. So, take action!

Davsidoo:
I have a question guys. Can one only request ER 60 days before school resumption? Or can it be anytime from now. ps: resumption is January

If this is a regular appointment, you can pick the date and request for EA Emergency appointment

Davsidoo:
My resumption is January and as it is I only have July 2022 as the closest date available. Pls what do you advise guys?

I know people here will need your interview transcript to help you better.
But, I'm curious how do you get date so close. Kindly share

Milan25:
I was denied Visa on the 16th of September in Abuja because I said I have a brother and a mother in the United States. I was surprised because I told the Visa Officer I was married but he still denied me the Visa. Please how do I answer better next time as I will be going for my third interview this Month. I thought Marriage is enough proof of ties?

But, you didn't reply @kaey10

[quote author=kaey10 post=106768551][/quote]

@Kaey10 did during this week and he was approved. Likewise, earlier on this thread ,some applicants for fall (August resumption) requested in May and got approved

Duisburg:
Can one apply for emergency appointment now for January start?

Congrats and wish you all the best.
Was this Lagos or Abuja? So also is it regular appointment or previously denied? Asking to learn. Would appreciate an answer.

kaey10:
Guys if ur school is resuming January, you can request for EA. I requested for EA yesterday and it has been approved this afternoon my new date is now on the 26th of this month

I think you can try it, then let's know what the outcome is. Some fall applicants sent their EA in may and they were approved. They didn't wait till 60 days to program start date

House34:
Please when can expendite appointment be request if Start of class is 9 january,program start date 3 and earliest admision date december 4 on i20 ...please when can l request Expedited Appointment Based on the 60 days rule?

Well, I think the only issue is how you will convince the VO why the company would want to sponsor you. How long have you been with them and what they stand to benefit by sponsoring you. Like if the said study will be adding value to them etc.

Rihanat24:
Hi everyone,

I am trying to use where I currently work as my sponsor. It is a group of company with branches in UK, Dubai, Delaware and Nigeria. Do you think it is advisable to use them as my sponsor? And any tip(s) that can help me would be appreciated.

Well, when it's 60 days to spring resumption, apply for EA again. If EA is refused, the tab will be active again, u can request EA again. U should have requested again the previous time. Make sure you upload sevis receipt , i20 and D's 160 confirmation page as supporting documents when you are requesting. And compose your message well.
Wish you the best of grace.

Adebusorlah:
Hello guys...
I would like you to help me out with this question
I applied for Fall 2021 but I couldn't travel because my emergency date was denied and I was asked to stick to the regular date given to me by the Us embassy in Lagos which is dated Jan 20th, 2022, I never went for the interview at all...so I immediately emailed my school to tell them my situation and they told me to defer my admission to spring 2022, which have done that and a new I-20 has been created for me, and Spring classes start on Jan 18th, 2022.
Now the question is...I want to still leave the Jan 20th, 2022 date given to me for the interview, and also I want to buy another visa fee and change my location to Abuja and fill a new DS-160 form...pls guys is this possible?

Good morning all.Please I need assistance with IELTS study materials (academic). Anybody can please help me It’s urgent. Thanks in anticipation. kejuempower@gmail.com @walspring @fairheart

Happy weekend people.

For an education Officer (a civil servant employed by FG), under occupation section of DS 160, does he chose GOVERNMENT or EDUCATION

Thank you

Mickeybook:
it's very ok bro ... Go ahead and aligned your datas with that of your passport

That reminds me, place of birth : Alagbado, State: Lagos, country: Nigeria.

It appears in D's 160 confirmation as Alagbado, Nigeria. Whereas on intl passport, it is indicated as Lagos, Nigeria.

So I changed it to place of birth: Lagos, state : Lagos...

So that the information on D's 160 will match that of intl passport Lagos, Nigeria.

Is that okay. Pls assist


None has responded yet. Will appreciate feedback

Thank you.

I've resolved the problem that day

I switched over to laptop and it got through.

nicflame:
Just go take the passport at a normal computer service center. They know the quality already once you tell them it's for US Visa, they'd even test it on the website for you once they're done taking your passport photograph.

Mickeybook:
Great people ,pls help a sister ooo... I just sighted an error in my husband's place of birth, it's different from the one I used for B1/B2 interview ....will that be a problem ... I have been making endless efforts to create a new ds 160 but the site won't just stop logging me out at the edge of every final submission. And again hope using the same passport photograph I used in my b1/B2 denial isn't any problem
Elders in the house ....pls your responses will be highly appreciated..... Btw , my date is 2nd week of Nov

Please what do you mean by he exhausted emergency appointment?

Digbick:
A brother was denied this year, he bought another fee to try again, but the date given is April next year, can he reschedule once like always to a closer date? (note: not emergency appointment he has exhausted it)

I think information on i20 matters here. U will use the name of the person whose finance information u sent to your school and is reflected on your i20. Thesame document u sent to ur school, will be what u take along for your interview

ObodoNaija:
Good evening guys, please I got RA position from TTU for spring 2022 and I have $8k deficit. In filling my DS160 I put that I will be sponsoring the trip, but I will be going to the embassy with my uncle's SOA. So my question now is, the Self that I filled in on my DS160 is it okay? Or I should fill in my uncle's details since I am going to the embassy with his SOA or fill in employer since it is a funded program?

Someone who used EA and got delayed, can the person get another EA within 6 months after?

beejhay69:
You can reschedule if closer dates pops up.

Date pops up with a Yes to previously denied

Femotech123:
Please I was delay on September 7 abj this month and I want to reapply. What can I select where it was asked are you previously denied in last two month YES or REGULAR.. cuz I hard if you select previous denial date won’t pop up afterwards

Yes

Adedapomola1993:
Please, on the DS-160,the person paying for the trip is the same as sponsorer right? So I can just input my sponsor details .please its urgent

*unable to accept photo due to low memory*
Above information displayed while uploading photo on ds160
Photo size is 203kb.
Pls what do I need to do?

In addition to other comments, the research topic is not new... Perception has been overtreated in the field of special education.

As to why the US, Google and read up reasons and advantages that schooling in the US brings, from there you will have increased ideas to coin your own.

Go over your Purpose statement you submitted during application to derive why the program.

You can do better

_*THIS IS MY PROPOSED TRANSCRIPT KINDLY HELP ME REVIEW AND CORRECT ME PLEASE...I AM DOWN FOR A MOCK INTERVIEW TOO...PLEASE*_ HELP.......THANK YOU


*why did u choose to study in the US instead of Nigeria:* Rehab counselling is only available at the Undergraduate level in Unijos and covenant university.


*why this school*: Apart from the fact that it was recommended by a very senior colleague and an alumnus of the school, the programme is a 70%class work according to the head of the department prof Santos...so it means as I am attending classes, I am also gaining the first-hand experience in the field.


*how many schools did u apply to*: 3 schools?


*WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW*: I AM AN HUMAN Resource OFFICER @...PROPERTIES LTD And also volunteer at the ministry of youth and social development as a child and youth counsellor.



*how many admission did u get:* 2


*How did you get to know about this school:* it was recommended by a senior colleague and a mentor who is an alumnus of the same school.


*Tell me your study plans:* will be taking a total of 60credits and 600 hours placements in addition to fieldwork and practicum.
I will also take courses like...alcohol and drug abuse counselling, disability and rehabilitation policy, human development, case management and so on.


*why did you choose this school over others:* THE fast response and follow up from the department, practical experience which is important to me, there is a facility in the school for people living with disabilities where you can volunteer as a student to gain more experience in the field.

*why this course:* there is a paucity of rehab counsellors in the ministry..hence the need for more experienced rehabilitation counsellors. To become a director in the ministry, you need vast experience and this degree will help me with that.


*What will this course do for you:* it will give me a very good shot at not just working at the ministry but to become the director in the ministry. It will help me understand innovations and new methods in rehabilitation and with this, I will be able to train new and junior staff.

And also get married.

*Who is sponsoring you*: my uncle, own an agric firm he is into animal and feed production he is one the major supplier of agricultural products to different states in the country.

Visa approved.
Thank you

I need answers too because I don't know

Solanium:
Based on your response, so for someone who used the emergency option and got denied visa probably for fall and then the person deferred to spring, can the person use the emergency option again? Let's say the person decides to apply for emergency date within 60 days of spring resumption.
Please, I need answers. Thank you.

You can send another one, the tab should be active again following a denial of EA. Is it for Spring or fall resumption and have you had denied visa interview recently?

Lovethchisom:
Hello everyone.
My EA was denied yesterday, Should i request for another one? I am confused on what to do.

Congratulations
.glad it ended well

Highzhikk:
Update: It took 60 days, then my visa was approved. They requested for alot of documents for their background checks and all. They asked for travel history too. Funniest thing is that school has already started. So I was deffered to Spring 2022.

Hi people,

Is there anyone whose Visa was approved on Monday or Tuesday (Aug 30 & 31) in Lagos and pickup location is VI who has been called for pickup?

Obviously you must. And you still have the time to change it

Samongo:
Guys

Pls I need an answer to this

On my DS-160, the part where I was asked who is sponsoring my trip, I wrote myself but my uncle will be sponsoring my education and I have his SOA with me. Hope this is not a red flag? My interview is in a weeks time, should I fill another DS-160 form?
Pls I need advice

For someone who just want to view the submitted D's 160 just to go through information filled, is there any thing that he can do? The person didn't print at the point of submission
