Go to youtube and watch ARGO visa interview tips... I think you could also benefit from EducationUSA Lagos or Abuja...

The visa fee is about 150k now if I'm correct.

Take your interview as if it's a job interview. Prepare a convincing response to likely questions.

Your last point come back and work here should have been more specific so they know you have done proper research.

PS: Just my candid opinion.
Thank you so much. These guys are good just watched their first video and it talks about strategies after rejection. awesome thank you

Guys Think about this- if you're rejected and it's more than 6 months but less than 12 months, which option are you choosing?

see pic below

Your denial had nothing to do with sevis. Your answers were too basic. You need a lot coaching and studying. Work on your method of processing and answering questions. Good luck
When I go back, what can I tell the VO was the reason for my rejection?

And how many days after a rejection can I go back ?

Hello Olumide any luck with the date? I have the same issue. School resumes on the 7th of august and no date till now for Lagos. Please house what can we do?

quote author=olumide098 post=124131191]Hi Everyone, I'm Olumide. Please need a quick response to my questions. i20 says August 7 for resumption and there is no date until 31st of august. what can i do? should i register august 31st or write school for extension ? if i choose to go ahead with the August 31st hope it wont be a red flag? Famz kindly throw more light for me to be sure of what am doing. thanks to everyone for doing a great job on this platform.
Ok house correct me on this one, First I think you can pick any date first then go into your profile and do the emergency if this is your first time, let others give you advice too because i'm not very sure. Do not input any false info because they'll look at your i20. I don't think school can give you an extension but i'm not sure too. When is class starting versus program start date ?

Firstly , you finished highschool 3yrs ago, what have you been doing? what did u fill on ur ds160 as ur current employment? then ur post graduate plans, no clear goal of what u want to do w the intended degree. message me thru nairaland. I was approved on that day same27th, let me guide you all for FREE. since you intend to reapply again.
I think we saw you in front of us lol, you might have met my mum and sis outside as she was telling ppl congratulations when they came out.

ds160 shows I went for computer training from 6 months after graduation in 2021 and then I went for make up class but i didn't add that since it won't help me. I'll reach out and yeah my goals after graduation doesn't look grandiose enough

Hello everyone, I have a small issue with my form I-20
I have scheduled my appointment before I realized a letter is missing from my middle name it's written as "Abdulsamd" instead of "Abdulsamad"
I can't request a new one my appointment is in 4days.
Do y'all think I might be denied because of this?
Send an email to your school asking them to correct it and send a new i20. print out the email with your international advisor and take it with you to the embasssy. if the VO asks tell him you already contacted your school to make the correction and you have proof of that conversation.

You will not be denied because of that as far as you show a proof of correcting it that's if they notice o!
