Hello everyone,

I am currently in the US. I finished my Masters and got a Ph.D. I am now qualified for the interview waiver to renew my expiring visa. My question is, can I give my documents to a family member or friend to drop them off since I don't have to appear for an interview? Coming to Nigeria to drop off my documents is not ideal because I have to attend classes, and it takes two months to get feedback. Can I authorize someone to drop it off and pick it up on my behalf? Any helpful advice will be appreciated 🙌🏾

[quote author=FRUDO200 post=103985211]Hello House
Please is there anyone that had their visa approved on 15th july in Abuja.



Yes

VISA APPROVED!!!

God's Grace is sufficient!

Abuja.

My short transcript later

You dnt need to do any photocopies of all the documents you need. The US embassy is not a document Embassy. Your i-20, IP, Appointment letter, DS-160 confirmation, Offer letter, GA letter/ Sponsorship evidence( Bank Statement) are needed. Just take the print out copy with you and you should be fine.


Thank you so much !!!

Good morning academic minds,

I will be going for my interview in Abuja next week.

Please do I need to photocopy my documents? If yes how many copies or sets ?

At what point do I need to do the documentation?

Do they accept stapled documents or I should not staple at all?

I will so much appreciate a good feedback especially from someone who has done his/her interview.

Thanks alot!

I uploaded my i20( not signed anyway)

I uploaded my SEVIS fee payment confirmation

I uploaded additional 2 evidences that my original i20 is being shipped to Nigeria. One from my University and the other one from the the shipping company.

Then I gave a concised and convincing explanation.

Pls what documents did you submit to get your request approved ?[/quote]

I changed from Lagos to Abuja this early morning. My emergency appointment got approved. I just booked a date in July. Thank you Jesus.

I booked for Lagos consulate and requested for emergency appointment a week ago but I didn't hear anything.

Now, I have edited my DS-160 and updated my profile with the new DS- 160 number.


I now chose Abuja as my interview location and requested for emergency appointment again. I hope there is nothing wrong with it?


Please if you have any idea just drop. My program start date is 16th August.

Today I got Admission in USA with full tuition waiver and Graduate Assistantship starting in fall 2021.

I deposited my money in Fintiba since 2019. I can't wait to take my money back. Germany dey do shakara. Nonsense.

Congratulations brother

Thanks alot. I applied for Development Economics. They mentioned interview but not Exam

Please who have applied to University of Göttingen before?

How was their interview?

I applied to them for summer semester 2021.

To which date? When is your resumption?

I appealed my VISA which was rejected saying I didn't have admission. That I only had admission for language. I have applied and gotten admission in another school.

I wrote the consulate telling them that I am withdrawing my appeal because of an issue in the family and I have admission with a confirmation of necessity to be present in Germany for the purpose of studies. That I need a new date for interview.

The Visa Section replied and told me to send a signed letter of withdrawal not later than 10th September 2020.

I think they gave me deadline because I told them that I have new admission

Please if you can create custom email let me know. I need one. It's urgent

I just spoke with the visa section of the German Consulate in Lagos. They said VISA Application resumption is dependent on international flight resumption. That once the airspace is open, they will open.

Let's keep hope alive. Do not lose hope.

My school shifted their resumption date to November 2 so hopefully by then everything will be normal.

I got same letter from University of Erfurt

Admission Letter received from University of Erfurt

Admission Letter received from IGC Bremen University of Applied Sciences
