yes it can be edited, but a fresh bar code will be generated , to edit the previous submitted one, meaning he/she has to be with the new and old slip. to the best of my knowledge

That’s not editing rather recreating a fresh one with the old number

Rytefish:
I am asking this for a friend, please, she needs to know if after submitting, there is a way to edit the DS-160 form, I have read something similar here but I couldn't get a hold of the info again.

There is a place that needs to be adjusted, how do one go about it?

You can’t edit ds 160 after submitting.

100kobo:
He only informed about the expiration date. No mention was made regarding when he paid. So how did you come about 13th December, 2017?

Just trying to explain the expiration date well. Since it expires on 13th dec, time of payment should be checked. Interview time is mostly early in the morning so it might still be valid by the time he goes for his interview

ayoolakayode:
My sevis fee expire Dec 13, and that is the same date for my schedule appointment hope it will not affect? Just want to avoid paying another sevis fee

365 days from 13th Dec 2017 is 12th Dec 2018. So yes, it will expire by then. Keep checking for new dates, you might get an earlier date and reschedule. Or request for emergency appointment Mid November, you might get approved

npmi:
Someone told me that Nigerian ladies abroad hardly see Nigerian men to marry them, travelling out as a single lady is not good. Please is it true?

Unless you are a US citizen, if not why should a Nigerian guy marry you when he can marry a citizen and get his green card? So most will look for citizens to marry

ifyalways:
I'm back again o.

My boy ACTS test was cancelled o. I'm at my wits end. He forwarded to me an email from ACTS that read " we are sorry that you are unable to complete your October International ACT test dues to issues beyond your control. We regret bla bla. . ."

The email also said we can forward same email to the school. I'm just weak. First he missed SAT and now this.im going to contact the school morrow but anyone been in this situation before ?

I'm beginning to think the forces that be don't want this boy to go to US

Which one is the force that be, is USA that special or do/die affair. Abeg we should take it easy.

remmycrown:
here is the rule for emergency appointment on their website ‘Students or exchange visitors
Purpose of travel is to begin or resume a valid program of study in the United States within 60 days when no regular visa appointments are available. This option is limited only to students and exchange students who are within 60 days of their start date. It is also limited only to applicants who have not been refused a visa within the last six months at either the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos.’

Nice one. So it’s now within 60days. I saw 30days before. Thanks for the update

Predstan:
Might be going to Abuja for my next interview because I can't find a closer date in Lagos. Abuja next available date is Nov 6

If you used lagos the first time, don’t rush to Abuja to avoid asking you why choosing Abuja this time Cos some people thinks Abuja is easier and they know that. You can request for emergency appointment within 30days to school resumption date. Don’t rush it

ziondaughter247:
Please how much should a reasonable bank statement have altogether. Do they also look at how busy the account has been i.e deposits and credits even though the balance isn't really much. playback answer oooh. Thanks my ppl

I shake my head for some kind of questions asked here, it all depends on the amount you have on your i20, what is reasonable to A might be unreasonable for B

Bolarita97:

Apply for a higher degree, that’s all I can say. Don’t go back to embassy with same associate degree admission

Nutshell44:
This Is for every F1 applicant planning to go through Abuja embassy.
The new policy now is that they verify all bank statements before they issue visa. Please don't go with fake bank statement,it's an automatic 10 year ban.

Not only Abuja, Lagos Embassy also verifies all bank statement before issuing visa now

Jibola10:
thank you, I actually want to be sure if i can use the sevis id to book appointment date on time while the new i20 is on its ways

You can go ahead with that

Jibola10:
good morning lovely members, for someone who received i20(fall 2018) but later deferred the admission, will the new i20(spring 2019) carry same sevis id as the previous i20 that was delivered?

Yes, it will be same sevis id.

Toptic:
Hello bosses in the house,
I'm planning to apply for US visa with my wife. I'm into medical and electro-surgical equipments, I just wish to travel to the US with my lady to settle down.

I really wish to know which is the best platform for application... One agent said he'll provide us with 2years multiple entry.

I'm afraid of them all.

Please Note
My wife have no travel experience. But I had traveled to few countries and I had worked in Dubai before.

Please help me if I'm on the wrong thread.

Thanks guys to our success!

This thread is for F1 - Academic visa, maybe you go to B1/B2 - Tourism/Business visa thread and direct your question.

Dwebsites1:
my sevis charge will expire on 22nd of November while my appointment is on 27th, just wanted to avoid paying another sevis. that's the reason. Thanks

Request for emergency appointment and give this reason to them, hopefully they will approve it. Also keep checking to see if you will get earlier dates else you will have to pay another sevis fee.

VisiFisiMisi:
Pls i need a clarification ...
-Going to the U.S to study and get a job legally probably leading to G.C does this mean one is not genuine student..
-Does being not a genuine student means that when one get to the U.S and doesn't school in which one get visa with.
- or Being genuine student means just to study in U.S immediately after study one comes back home Which of these can be correct if not pls correct me .

The bolded according how USA wants it

Dwebsites1:
Please house, is it possible to change appointment day backward? my appointment day is 27th of November, I picked it because it was the earliest I saw for that time.
I want any day between 8th &12th of November for some reasons.
kindly help vital information if it's possible thanks

You can only reschedule once. Keep checking for available dates. Emergency option works when it’s within 30days to your school resumption date

Blissequire:
Hello Beautiful People,
I graduated from high school in 2017 And I already Sat for SAT(1380)-mainly because of the Scholarship Benefits offered by most schools for UG studies.
My question is: assuming I get admitted into a university-Do you advice that I travel to the States with intent,upon completion of My first year to Transfer to a College.

Your suggestions is highly Appreciated.

This kind of question is one of the reason getting visa is becoming stricter. Why get a scholarship from a university and move to a college? What’s your intent?

olakenny12:
Hello House, I've been following this forum for couple of years but can't but affirm it's indeed an educative forum.
I do have a very serious issues here and i need you guys to advise me. I have been denied F1 visa several times (4)
at the embassy, last time being last year December. All these while, i have always gone with one particular school though
i got admission from other schools. This same school has now offered me admission for 2019 spring semester with half
assistanship (was offered this the last time too). I want to know if it seems logical to apply for visa again for the fifth time
with the same school.
I am actually going for master program in electrical engineering.

Thanks.

If I were you, I will change school.

Macaulay10:
if the i-20 indicates family(I.e using uncle SOA for admission) and not parents..... Can one go with a father statements of account?....

Yes.

Gabbybanks:
Please who knows how to interpret GRE to know the total score?

Add the verbal and quantitative together

QUEENBIZ:
Good morning my people,please I need anyone to give me few information about these two school in the USA.
Sought Dakota State University
University of Wisconsin-River Falls.

I am considering going with my 2 kids when everything is set. Please I need anyone that has been there or going there to help me with any information available before making my decision. I chose this two schools because they’re relatively cheap compared to other ones I have seen. I don’t mind any other recommendations as well. Thanks & God bless you

This is not a strong reason for choosing a school, Nigerian universities are far cheaper if you are going by cheapness.

Hopefuldreamer:
Nairalanders. Please advice and help me. I have been a silent reader for a while before I opened an account.

After getting admission to Indiana state university terre haute, I have appeared for visa interview twice. I have been to Ghana by road in 2015 via God is good motors with my voters card cos I didn't have an international passport as at then.

My first visa interview was in September 20 at Lagos.

V.O : pass your passport and i20 which I did. Then he asked why I'm going to the US.

Me: to study for my MBA at Indiana state university

V.o: who is sponsoring your program?

ME: I have a personal savings, my parents will also be supporting me.

V.O: asked for statement,

Me: passed it to him

V. O: have you travelled out of the country before?

Me: yes.

V.O: "flipping through my virgin passport." to where?

Me: to Ghana, by road using my voters card because I haven't gotten my international passport as at then and I enquired from the transport company about using my voters card and they confirmed I can.

V. O: passed blue paper.

My second interview was yesterday. Also went smooth until travelling history was asked and I told them the same thing and was still denied.

I didn't want to lie and that is why I told the vo that I have travelled to Ghana before. But since there isn't any stamp on my passport to verify that, I don't know if the embassy have blacklisted me.

I'm thinking of saying I haven't travelled before in my next application but I thought of inconsistency.

I'm also thinking of visiting Ghana this weekend so as to get stamp. But I'm thinking it will raise a red flag.

Please is there any solution to my problem?, I'm scared of reapplying again.

@lagosismyhome, femi312, 100kobo, justwise, every body who has been in this shoes before.

Please don’t change what you said, you already told them that you have been to Ghana. Try and travel to another nearby country aside Ghana and reapply

Predstan:
Is that true? I picked a date in September and the earliest I could see was November 1st...

It’s true. Login and check

Philadelphia:
You are also ignorant of the reason for the denial as well.
Don't quote me for a quarell Bro. It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
Thanks.

You go like trouble oo.

yemiteantho:
Hello people! Please i need assistance about an issue.
I went for my F1 student visa interview yesterday in Abuja; everything went well thanks to this forum.
The VO approved my visa and told me to have a nice study at the US. She handed me the white paper with the information on how to collect my passport and another small paper which stated congratulation on being approved F1 visa to US. The paper contained information on what to take along to the US when travelling.
To mt surprise, I checked my status and it has been showing administrative processing. Only for me to check it now and I saw REFUSED.
Please does anybody know what is wrong?
Thanks.

This is strange, please wait to receive your passport and see the note that will accompany it.

Rytefish:
You wanted to say, "It is not a must that your uncle share the same surname with you". The two statements are not the same, although the message has been passed.

Professor of English, Come tell me the difference, I want to learn

Gewezzy1:
Please does the i20 include the name of the sponsor? I used my mum for my sponsor but she her balance isn't same as when I sent it for my Application, can i use my Elder brother, and also if I am to use my Uncle must he be of the same surname with me? Thanks

Most school doesn’t include name, like 90% doesn’t. They will just write family or parents on your i20. Your uncle mustn’t have same surname with you
