I never knew God will honour me this way. Brethren, join me in praising Him. I pray that "for as many as those who have been destined to study in the US, nothing shall stop you in Jesus' name" (Amen). All contributors in this forum, I am grateful to you. Shalom

Act 2:21
“And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
(ESV)
@the bold, you called upon the Name of the Lord and he favored you...God never disappoints his people....

Besides, your scores were excellent, mine wasn't close to it at all...Lool

Congrats!

God will bless you iamchux...You will never fall disgrace in Life. am telling this people right from the source and they nearly hit me up for here. Thanked God you came to my rescue. You cant try such nonsense with Buffalo university, Northeastern University and some tp skools in yankee.....i have friends that always advice me so that i wont mess things up..we need to be careful in doing things so that at the end of the day we wont blame ourselves..having a Visa is a Good thing but falling out of status can be distrarous....

I say Amen to the first bold...Very disastrous, because Reinstatement is a 50/50 thing. You either get it back or loss it depending on how favorable your application is

And also, never make the mistake of informing your school of your intent to transfer to another school while you're still in Naija. Inform them only when you have crossed the POE, because they have the power to throw you off status immediately...Those guys could be funny at times.

Where is this Boston guy "anthonymighty"? its almost 2 years now he last posted on this thread...

exxy: Olumide, abeg check ur i20 well on Instructions to student section number 5, it says: a nonimmigrant student is permitted to transfer to a different school provided the transfer procedure is followed.

So true! But some schools here could frustrate someone in the sense that, they insist on you spending at least a semester with them before they can release you or else they'll throw you off status. So you have to pray your school would be so willing to release you as soon as you get here.


seunbunmi in TX had a similar experience.

UNAAB charge 3k since ova 4yrs ago til nw

I smell unaabite here ........ What set & college?

STENON: Tnx for that, We are permited to wrt on Physics topics, Education, And also on Physics as related to Edu, Though some of my colleagues wrote on wot you said, and I'm stil contemplatin on writin somtin similar to Physics as related to Edu, Bt jst wish to ask, If that wont have any effect on my applicatn for RA

Inasmuch as you're writing on physics as related to education, chipping in geophysics shouldn't be a bad idea. Tho that's not my field, so pardon me if what i wrote doesn't sound like what you wanna hear...

Success!

Joenic: Him, not you sorry. I hate to write much. Just ask VO. Having a visa is not a guarantee you enter the country especially if your information is inconsistent. Database is paramount. Americans don't play with information database.

The bold is so true. Inconsistency is a big red flag when it comes to United States and her database. Visiting the embassy and lodging your complains wouldn't harm you...

Don't take chances!

congrats to everyone who got their visa and also to NL for resolving that unbearable issue...

unbounded:
I'm in the Newark campus.

Unbounded, pls wat type of UBA SOA did you use then, is it the letterhead A4 or the long foldable type? Tnxxx

Hello nlers, pls who has used UBA statement of account before for his/her interview?

I was at the bank today, and was told that the A4 statement of acc is not accept for visa interview, that its the long foldable print-out Statement of acc that is accepted. My sponsor actually printed out the A4 type before he travelled. Can I still go with the A4 type?

domex007: Happy sunday friends.. May God smile on us and grant our heart desires now and forever, amen..

Amen on this one, brother!

De Tus: That's very true boss. And we should all wish him well even if he's going to the moon.

U.S. Consulate (Embassy) dey for moon too?

Idazbawz: when is yur interview? Send me a Pm bro!

@pm, Done!

Idazbawz: nah... Im planning to school in Michigan(close to ohio) dis summer.... Which semester are u going?

Going with spring, but might still defer to summer when I get my visa! Yup!

Idazbawz: hey! Where do yu school in Ohio?

Still an F1 applicant, getting my visa soon!

You plan schooling there too?

bigfrancis21: Hello members,

I humbly wish to inform my able members here that I arrived safely in the United states. I'm currently in Maryland.

Thank God for the safe trip Biggy! Your present bbm dp has now given me that motivation (ginger), Lool. Thank God Ohio isn't too far from Maryland, Can't wait to come check on you at MD when I get in, I have a lot of secondary school mates there I will come and visit.

Happy New Year to everyone on here! More visas to come!

jaskinbo: Hello my gurus; Can someone reapply for ED again after the first application was denied? I mean i had applied for ED before and was denied ..Can I apply again?

Do you still have the option popping up on your profile? cos mine refused to pop up ever since my request which wasn't granted.

JFK12: Pls house,what is the nxt step to be taken after d approval of an emergency request ? Tnx

How long did they take to respond to your ED request? Tnx!

ojooyelakin:

Ask your dad to do photocopy of CO2 and CO1 (CAC certificate) of the company for you (and make sure your dad is the principal signatory to the company account) then you have to take it (CO1& CO2) to any high court for neutralization...when VO ask for document who will sponsor you just present the SOA with CO1 and CO2 together at once
Best of luck...

#Lesson! Never present what you are not asked to present except the VO asks for it, so you wouldn't seem desperate. So bank statement is strictly bank statement, no other document attached!

Mamacita plssssss I sent you a NL mail, pls reply...Sorry I have been off for a while, tight schedule here, but free a bit now...

I see you Yvety mama....Looooolz

oyetpel: Hi pple, my emergency appointment has just been approved. will i av to cancel and reschedule another appointment?

Yes you will have to!
Did you send a copy of your I-20 and SEVIS receipt, or just your I-20 alone?

rhylord:

I have an uncle in the US and i stated it there in my DS-160, and also provided them a Affidavit of Support from him stating he is providing my accommodation and boarding for the entire duration of my studies in the US, I also presented it to the VO and she saw it. If she had any reasons for me not eleigible under Section 214 then i should have been told there during the interview. And also before a visa revoked according to the law

Because of the bolded, Please don't go back to the embassy with that same I-20, because you have weaken your tie back home and its already in their system.

My opinion/ advice:
Apply to a school far from the state your uncle stays, and use its I-20 and claim you would be staying in the school hostel, then when you get to the US, transfer to your previous school. Because I bet you, you will stand a lot to gain staying with your uncle!

Because of consistensy, you can not lie about having an uncle in the US because you have given them that record and its already saved in their system.

I guess the VO that interviewed you is a recruit and should be facing questioning now. When I saw your home tie ish, I suspected it had something to do with you having a relative in the US and what you have filled in your DS-160

Best of luck!

adebonje: If I am asked why the school.. My response goes thus

Missouri state university is a large 4 year public coeducational multicultural institution with over 21000 students with representation from 50 states and 83 countries

It is located in an urban area,offers bachelor,masters and doctorate degrees.

It has a student faculty ratio of 20:1 and a student professor satio of 3:1

The program am going in for computer and information systems is a prog in the college of business administration.

MS uni coll of bus is the largest in missouri and on of the largest in the midwest

It has received the highest level of accreditation, not only has it received the highest level of accreditation, all prog in the coll of business administration has been fully certified by the association of advanced collagiate school of business and the wikipedia has it that only 10% of the college of business in the united states has received this level of accreditation

They have an upto date curriculum supported and insired by ibm which I believe will enhance my understanding to achieve and succeed,

They have a talented faculty with the state of the art computer software and hardware which will equip me with the right tools to succed.

From the vital tour I took on their website, they have a beautiful and serene campaus which will propel my enthusiasm to study,

And most importantly, the cost of attending missouri state university is lesser than the other uni i got admitted, I had to put it inline with what my dad could afford convieniently

Hope this is not too long !!!

All this epistle for just one question? I wonder how long your interview would then be...

Please house, who knows the earliest date for Abuja Embassy booking? because I have made several cancelling of appointment, don't want to get to my limited number of cancelation
