Chemical2:

Don't think that was the problem after all. It was stated that to use ED you must not have been denied visa in the last 6 months. Guess you have been denied visa before within that period. Read more about ED here http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-expeditedappointment.asp

Nope! Never been to the embassy!

imperiouxx:

I hope you attached your admission letter stating your resumption date. ED shouldn't be this hard. Mine was granted the second day I applied during my time.

I only attached my i-20, didn't attach my SEVIS receipt nor Admission letter. I guess that's where I messed up!

rhylord:

i asked and he told me the blue paper will explain it, but he wasn't the one that interviewed me initially. I don't know what happened there, everyone i talk says they've not heard of a situation similar to this. I intend to go to the embassy and lay a complaint regarding this and they should explain the approval i received from the VO after the interview.

Do you have any immediate relative (who might have filled for you) in the US of which you stated "No" on the DS-160?

rhylord: Hello, I had an interview at the US embassy and after the interview i was issued the visa 3 to 4 hours later i received a call saying is from the embassy i should come and collect my passport. Getting there i receive a blue letter from someonelse stating that my visa has been denied for lack of home ties to my home country. First of all i was not asked that particular question initially by the Visa Interviewer and secondly i should have been denied the visa from the beginning rather than issuing the visa and calling it back.

Sounds strange!

@jaskinbo, my school said I can defer my admission to summer term. So I might just keep my jan 13 date for it or extend it to febuary or so. I don't want to use Extension Letter, not all VOs will smile at it!

Congrats to everyone who got their visa, and to Tochium, I believe everything happens for a reason and yours would definitely be for a positve reason. The visa is yours on your next try.

@jaskinbo, I got this reply today, did you receive any of such?

jaskinbo: @iamchux, i did that and nothing heard from them since. I later sent them an email based on advice from here and I was directed to the expediated appointment page also. Pls when you filled your request form, did you choose the emergency date you want

Nah! I just filled when my school resumes which is 6th jan.

lisadem:

Longest time. menh see wetin delayed i-20 wan cause o. keep pestering them... chat you up later

Finally got the i-20, but the date is no where to be found!

If ustraveldocs does anyhow, "defer" would be the next option...

jaskinbo: Hello my experienced gurus in the house, I had scheduled a regular appointment since Monday and I filled the Emergency appointment request form immediately but I haven't heard any reply since then weather or not they approved or denying it. What can I do pls?

Its like we are in the same condition! Requested for an emergency date since monday evening, but haven't heard from them till date. Sent an email to LagosStudentVisas@state.gov, but they kept on directing me to the Expedite Service on the appointment page!

Did you send a scanned copy of your Form I-20 and SEVIS receipt when you requested for the ED?

Dot1:
Mine was scheduled for same day, but wen i checkd my schedule on prometric website, dey've already rescheduled me for Feb 20, 2014 in india. Datz ludicruous. I calld ets, but was told dat dey can't reschedule my appointment, and suggested i apply afresh to ghana and apply for refund later on d old schedule (tho am sceptical if it'll work). Next stop nw is ghana.

This is really weird, do they expect you to travel to india?

Walecrsyler: Good evening to everyone
Please I would like to know if anyone here can enlighten me more about paying the SEVIS fee in Cotonou especially the bank charges , please house my interview is coming up soon. I will really appreciate all responses. Thanks bless!

I actually copied this out from one of the previous pages on this thread. It should be of help!

1. Photocopy your passport and I-20 form.

2. Go to mile2 and enter a cab going to SEME border. Not sure how much the T.fare is now, just ask anyone where Cabs going to SEME border are.

3. When you get to the border, take a bike and inform the Okada man that you are going to ECO bank.There is one ECOBANK before you cross the border, that's Nigeria's ECOBANK.There is another ECOBANK when you cross, that's your destination.

4. The Immigration guys will stop you for sure.They will ask for your passport and ask if you have foreign currency. Pls, don't give your money to okada man. Some may request this from you that they will help you to cross with it so that you won't tip those guys.Pls, don't be penny wise.

5. They have about 5 points you are going to cross. If you tip for just 1k at the first point, tell the Immigration guys b4 you pay that they will give you some1 to take you along the other 4points.If you didn't request for this, you will tip at 5points.Talk with boldness.Max you can tip 2k.Those guys are thieves.They can just hijack your phone to hold you to ransom and request for 5k tip.Be smart with them.

6. Now when you get to ECOBANK, just tell the cashier you want to pay for SEVIS fee.They understand this wella.

7. The Cashier will write you 200dollars equivalence in CFA/235 dollars equivalence in CFA if you are paying for courier delivery. The last time I went 200dollars = 119,000CFA = 38k naira.You know currency flunctuates. ### Okay, lemme add what Kunsoft just said, the bank will charge you 6,000 naira.

8.The cashier will direct you to the security guys. They will accompany you to a reliable Exchanger.Don't give bank security guys anything cos those exchanger appreciate them.

9. You get back to the bank, a girl will help you fill the Western Union form. The Cashier will request for your I-20 form so that they wont make mistake and request for photocopy of your passport so that they wont make mistake in your name.

10.When you are through, ask the security guy to point a reliable Okada man to you among those that queue in front of the bank. The Okada man will hold you fone and any other valuables with you so that you wont give any tip while coming back.

11. When you cross the border, enter cab for 800/1k back to Mile 2.

Please, do not qoute...
Thank you!

Amefrica:

I'm fed up oo.. I wanna take SAT, apply to schools that give intl students full scholarship, I'm going for fall '14..

This is cool, even if this is the only change that has to take place before your next interview...Because something needs to be modified before your next interview so you wouldn't be seemed as a desperado...And always put God first...the sky definitely would be your starting point and not your limit! Cheers bro!

Happy Sunday VO!

Please, I would love to know if there is any implication applying for a Student (F1) Visa using a sibling's USA bank account 'Statement of Account' as proof of sponsorship...I'm actually asking this question because I read it somewhere on NL, that using a sibling's foreign statement would make one appear as an intending immigrant. How true is this?

Mamacita007: Joan u left without saying goodbye. hope all is well hugggggggsssssss

Mamacita my mentor!

I have missed you o!
