Hi guys please I need your input.

My friend is applying the a student visa.

He has an account he opened about 4months ago because of the interest on savings. He has bulk sum of 30kcad naira equivalent. He make withdrawals and deposits every month


He also has his salary account running for years.

Both accounts are domiciled in the same bank.

Now should he move the bulk sum to his salary account, and apply for visa after 28days

Or should he raise mybankstatement ticket for both Accounts ? And submit both

Apply through Ontario colleges, you can apply to Conestoga College, loyalist College.
I think for centinial college you can apply direct.

Not sure of other provinces.
You can check New Brunswick Community College, I think you can apply direct and it's also affordable. But they have just one intake a year plus competition is high and higher now with the introduction of new PR process for Students.


Thank you.
I've started filling out application to conestoga through Ontariocollege.ca

Aside from the application fee, will I be required to pay an agent here?

The ability to post this means there's some strength in you. I can understand your disappointment cos I've been there before. Do not to give up at this time. Prepare for your next interview exhaustively and above all, drop it at God's feet (that's the only assurance).

Hey guys.

I cried all night and still crying after being denied yesterday.

I totally tended up and blanked out.

Last night all my responses kept flowing in my head and sounded like I was muttering gibberish.

I feel so hopeless.

It was like someone else possessed my body as all I heard rehearsed flew out of my head.

I sent an email to my program director and her response brought more tears to my eyes.

She said she will keep the admission open all through next year, hoping I can join them.

I am afraid to book another date and go through another heartbreak.

I am hiding in my office toilet as I type still crying.

I feel so sad

All praises and adoration to the almighty for making this a success.
many thanks to those whose transcripts were of great help to me and those who stood by me all through this from application to visa prep and all. Lolade, taheerah, abdulkareem, Alex only to mention few. May God bless you all.

Embassy : WC Lagos
School name: UNT
Funding : 32,718
Program admitted for: PhD chemistry
Visa status: approved

This man in window 11 was just denying people. He has denied about 4 people since I entered the hall. I was just quietly praying that the lady in front of me should go to him and I go to another window. But the lady went to another VO and I was asked to go to him after denying another person again.

VO: Where are you going to?

Me: I'm going to university of north Texas in Denton for my PhD in chemistry with concentration in organic chemistry.

VO:PhD?
Me:Yes

VO: What's by he difference between organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry

Me: Organic chemistry is the study of organic compound while inorganic chemistry is the study of other compd like metals and others( since I can't really remember the definition of inorganic chemistry due to tension)

Then the silence began
VO: Typing
Me: I was quietly saying won't this man ask my another question. Muteness lasted for about 30-40sec.

VO: Are you married
Me: No
VO: Do you have kids
Me: No.. but ( I wanted to tell him why I choose UNT cos I felt he hasn't asked me enough question but sth just tell me to keep quiet.

VO: I want to approve your visa, take this yellow paper to window 22 to pay your reciprocity fee.

Thanks.

Na just God grace oo.
Prepare well and pray well too.

At last!

So happy to see this
Did you have any deficit? How much?

It seems that the rate at which they give out approvals has reduced as compared to last month.

Corona rate in the US , election uncertainties etc play a role in how the VOs behave.

So let's just prepare and give it our best shot

I talked about my funding where he said, who would be funding this program not why the school. In the why the school, I talked about the honors program which has been used in approved transcripts I've seen.

When he said why this school, you didnt talk about your course biology , I'm just giving out a general advise that we need to change style and make sure we talk more about what the course means to us and our career

Honestly, if I'm asked why this school, I would tell the VO how the school is good in my area of interest and how the program from the school would contribute greatly to my personal and career development before stating my scholarship and ranking.

The V.O. already knows the school ranking and he's seeing your scholarship on your I-20, so when he asks why this school, he really want to know how the school would contribute to your career growth. So in this line, I believe the best thing to do, is to start telling him how the school has gained notable recognition in your field of interest and how the school's style of teaching would contribute to your career growth upon your return to Nigeria.

My opinion shaa.

Also mention why you are going for ur course...

VISA DENIED
Window 11

As I was going towards him, in order to speak better, I lowered my nose masks and he instructed me and other persons in the hall to raise it back up.p



Me: good morning
V.O: good morning
V.O: where are you going to?
Me: I would be going to continue my undergraduate degree in biology
V.O: who would be funding this?
Me: I got a full ride presidential scholarship that would cover the entire cost of my tuition, feeding, accommodation, books, extra fees and a laptop. Also I was able to get 2 external scholarships this fall. $5000 for aidsmemorial and $2500 yearly scholarship from the United Negro College Fund. The rest of the costs would be taken care of by my uncle.
V.O: Are you married?
Me: No
V.O: Do you have any kids?
Me: No (laughs a bit)
V.O: So why did you choose this school?
Me: as I said I got a full ride scholarship, then when admitting me, EWC put me in their honors program. Which means that I get to pick a professor in my major that I can carry out summer research with, I would be given priority access to research and internships and I would be assigned an excelling senior in my major that would Integrate me into the Edward waters college community.
V.O: I cannot issue you the visa at this moment, this letter would explain more.

I was so so surprised.

So sorry about your denial...

As e de go so matter don de change, so like this once they ask me why I'm going to the school, the best bet is to start talking about the course of study and its impact in ur career of why you chose the course....

If possible why this school should not mean u talking about the admission process or scholarships cos I'm sure he can see that on ur i20.

We might not have the opportunity for another question like why this course so let's just take any opportunity and sell ourself.

I wish the rest of us goodluck..

Hello Hollyholy,
Please I submitted my DS-160 and I just went through it again and discovered I made a minor error in some of the dates.
When I fill a new DS-160, how do I attach it to my appointment confirmation?


If your interview date is less than 72hours away, kindly ignore the advise below.

Retrieve your submitted form using your former confirmation number and answers to your security questions, update all information and submit.

Go to your appointment page on cgifederal , use update information or something like that to edit the former ds 160 number to the new one and save.

Then click on confirmation and select the option to email you your new confirmation containing the new ds number.

Chonco:


It has actually happened before where someone was asked to show the old form and new form upon request. They just needed to verify and that was just it.
The advise is not a must do. It's optional.


ajaoakeem200000:
@ hollyholy, what about those of us that submitted 2 DS160?, Lagos and Abuja?, is there any penalty for submitting 2 DS160







That means they can just hold it if asked but dont submit it. Hide am somewhere for just incase.

Those of us that have filled multiple DS forms.
All you need is to ensure you submit the ds form you want to use and update your new ds confirmation number on your appointment page.

Take your new confirmation printout and updated appointment print out showing the new ds number.

There is no need to go with any data of the old ds forms you are not using.

The VO will only access the ds form that the confirmation number appears on ur appointment letter.

Dont complicate matters for yourself.
I saw where chonko was advising someone e to go with both old and new
