Yes. You can use banga too. With or without bangs is just fine.

Please do the one with banga...I prefer that

chibertha:
So those who have been putting theirs have no sense abi.
This is a faceless forum nobody send you ok.

You hardly see a transcript here again.
They are probably keeping it for their family members

Hi,
My cousin was in 3rd year at a federal University. due to strike, I advised him to apply for an UG programme. He sat for a fresh waec exam and used it for an undergraduate visa application.

Unfortunately, his application was declined. He is considering his options as he will be graduating this year,( if the strike is called off) and apply again.

This time, he wants to apply for a graduate program. I want to know if this would be a problem, having entered in his Ds-160 that he graduated High-school last year.

I feel bad because I talked him into doing this and even filled his Ds-160.

Will this be a problem at all?

FYI: His record is with the embassy.

This soup is life with pounded yam.

Bigfish121:
Guy it's piggyvest.They can never unlock it for you till the due date even if someone is dieing.if you like,write them countless mails,they will not respond to you.

Because they probably used it to fund a contract.

StDaniel2:
Thanks for the info! But as the new compliance form, they asked for in any way different?

There's no difference.
Some persons can sign and use last year's date that's why they might be called to do this again.
I think that was the same mistake I made when I was contacted.

GFavor:
Good day House, please someone wants to help me pay for SEVIS fee in the US. He is asking how will he do it. Please can someone explain how someone can pay for the fee in US. I sincerely don't have enough naira to make it from here.

Help a Sis please

Go to fmjfee. com and click on fee payment.
Fill out the form and print out the payment coupon and sent it to her to proceed to make payment with Western Union.


P.S: There are some information you can search on google. Just search "how to pay sevis fee in the US". Pass that message to him as well.

Don't lose hope if you uploaded your initial documents from the get-go.

I remember back in my time I was called to upload the compliance document and a friend wasn't contacted. We both got the award.

There's light at the end of the tunnel.

For those that were contacted to upload some documents, congratulations are also in order.
Good luck!

My US student visa was denied last Friday 24th June, 2022

At Abuja Embassy

I-20 is 59k and all the funding is from my uncle

I am a female and was interviewed by a male officer. I cried so much that I didn't eat the whole day.
I don't even know my next line of action for now. I won't give up hope though. I pray for divine direction.

Here is my transcript

Abuja Embassy

Officer: Your passport/i-20 ( I handed it over to him)

Me: Hi, Good morning ( not sure how I greeted again)

Officer: Good morning

Officer: So, you are going to the University of North Carolina for Information Science?

Me: Yes

Officer: Why information Science

Me: ( I pulled down my face mask to answer)

Officer: (Pointed at my face mask, and said i should put it back up)

Me (Female) : Oh sorry
( I pulled it back to my nose)

Male Officer: Okay, Let's complete the biometrics first. Place your finger....... ........... then after the capturing. He said, Place back the two thumbs, it didn't capture well ( I did )

Male Officer: So, why Information Science?

Me (Female): Information Science covers a wide range of courses that will help me excel in my current job role as an IT research Officer. It covers Information retrieval, Data Analysis, Research methodologies. These will help me get the knowledge and skills that will help me excel as this is a male dominated industry.

Male Officer: So, where do you work?

Me ( female) : I work as an IT research Officer with Nirsal, Central Bank of.Nigeria

Male Officer: So, you work for Central Bank.of Nigeria?

Me (female): No. I work for Nirsal, that's Nigeria Incentive-Based.... . ... ....XYZ..... It is under the Central bank of Nigeria.

Male Officer: okay

Male Officer: So, who is your sponsor?

(he now turned and look at me eye ball to eye ball. I maintained eye contact)

Me (Female) : My sponsor is my uncle.

Officer: What is he into?

Me: He is into furniture business. He has showrooms and factories in the south-eastern part of the country. He has over 50- 60 people working for him. He is passionate about my education, and that is why he is sponsoring me.

Officer: I'm sorry, we cannot....( handed over my passport

Me: I left and cried my eyes out.

Sorry for the denial.

I believe he wasn't okay that your uncle can sponsor your program.
Next time talk about his annual revenue from his business and you can even go further to talk about how much he pays labor. 50-60 staff is a lot, so help them help you.

Just like any other addiction, it takes a strong will to break free from it and I was once addicted to sports gambling.

Gambling in moderation is a socially acceptable behavior. Gambling addiction is another story. If left untreated, a gambling addiction can negatively affect your financial situation, relationships, and other aspects of your life. It is best not to venture into it because one of the ways I was able to break through from it was by the help of God I realized that to bet is to lose.

If you have a gambling addiction, you may feel an uncontrollable urge to visit casinos, play slot machines, bet on sports/virtual, or gamble online. The specific type and frequency of your gambling behavior may vary. But in general, you will be unable to control that behavior. You will continue gambling, even in the face of negative social, financial, or legal consequences.

The majority of people with gambling addictions are men.

If you have a gambling addiction, you may display some or all of the following behaviors:

1) Obsessing over any type of gambling
2) Gambling to feel better about life
3) Failing to control your gambling
4) Avoiding work or other commitments to gamble
5) Neglecting bills and expenses and using the money for gambling
6) Selling possessions to gamble
7) Stealing money to gamble
Lying about your gambling habit
9) Feeling guilty after a gambling session
10) Taking bigger and bigger risks while gambling
11) Disintegrating relationships or friendships
12) Loss of integrity, house, job, car, or other personal possessions.

I would love all those who were once an addict and were able to break free from this dangerous addiction that can make one so depressed to share their success story because I believe we can help others who are addicted to it to break free from it.

Shelldrey:
Good morning sir/ma , I have one issue and I don't know how to go about it, I have a friend of mine from USA THAT SENT INVITATION LETTER to me to come over but don't know how I will go about it, agent asking me to bring money to do this and that, pls how would I go about it, I need help, pls help me out

You asked a similar question in 2021 and posted about following your wife for an F2 visa.
Are you trying to waste someone's time?

CreativeWeb:
Hello @chibertha

Is it ok to email a school to waive the application fee and TOEFL standardized test for you?

For the English Test always request for your school(Undergraduate) to write a letter of English proficiency for you to back up that all your courses were taken in English.
Always write to the Graduate study coordinator/advisors. They are in the best position to waive your application fee and give the best advice to help your application.
That's part of their job.

Marviana:
Good morning all,

Can one take passport photos for the US visa in any photo studio? I'm asking because of the specifications stated.

Thank you

Of course, you can.
If you know how to use paint, you can always edit the size of the photo.
Ensure your ears, shoulder, eyes are not cut out from the photo i.e they are visible.

EmyPapis:
Hello,
Please for the POF, how long did the money stay in your account, before you printed your statement of account for submission to your school.

Congratulations once more.

US doesn't have any time frame.
You can go ahead to print the account statement but I believe you will need to go back to get a fresh statement when it's time for your interview because the VO might not be happy with it.

rextonMD:
Please house I have a question, when a school says that you submit a Proof of Funds via an Account Statement, and the account statement must validate at least $22,980USD (~ #10million), does this mean your account closing balance must be at least that amount, or they're interested in the cash flow of the account??

The closing balance shouldn't be below the requested sum.

EmyPapis:
Good Evening.

I recently got an admission at Michigan Technological University M.sc Natural Resource Economics, they are presently demanding for my proof of fund, as the the total fees payable is $31k

Could you please, kindly assist me on how to go about it, as I chose self sponsor in my application.

Also, if there is any telegram or WhatsApp page for tutelage, could you please, kindly add me to the group.

07037909053

Many thanks.

Send the school your bank statement of account.
It's a normal process for the school to verify if you have the funds to finance your studies before issuing you the I-20.

Teejay13:
Oh, thank you for letting me know this. To be in a safer place, I guess it will be nice one also have all of the basic requirements at hand before applying.

I hope you aim for 340.
Good luck.
Just like he said, it's a competition, so you have to ensure you get a good score which is 100% possible.

DanielAJ:
Would there be any closer date available because I have a 4 day timeframe to reschedule my emergency appointment
And other dates are being taken as we speak

See the reaching.
Check later at midnight.
I believe by Saturday you will testify.

Teejay13:
Sir it's not like I don't want to sit for the test. Am just looking at the cost, considering my financial capacity.

However, thank you for your comment. I shall take your word at heart.

I have heard people who got full funding without taking the GRE test.
Ensure you write to the graduate coordinator and advisors in the schools you are applying to and they can even give you an application fee waiver.
But hope your GPA is high enough also get a strong reference letter and ensure your Personal Statement stands out. Avoid plagiarism, make it personal.
Good luck!

MrKayDee:
Hello house,

I am new hear: I applied for an EA and got approved to reschedule my appointment (Abuja). My program start date is 17th of August, 2022 but the EA appointment only showed me date from October 2022 which I had to pick.

What can I do to get a favorable date pls.

Wait.
Don't pick a date till you see a closer date.

DanielAJ:
Please help urgent…. I applied for an emergency appointment and got a date 2 months after my program start date that’s the closest available….what can I do

You can wait.
Don't pick that date yet.
Wait till you have a closer date.

Meetch:

If I pay the fee will my 15th august still be there until I reschedule or it will immediately cancel

Keep checking for dates, then reschedule

Crvrider:
You ask in what capacity, really? With this knowledge how do you think Mr. Obi will compare in a presidential debate if asked how he intends to solve Nigeria's power issues?

Ok, wait let me guess. Based on your thinking he probably would say, "I will employ an electrical engineer and then go to sleep."

This you argument is baseless.
Take example Dangote knows everything about his business right.
Even Otedola replied a fan he is able to take vacation because as an entrepreneur, his role is to hire a competent team to run his business affairs for him without his physical presence.
Y'all out here painting his as a Master of all trades but we know the end of the story...

idahme:
A manager who is not ready to learn little about everything thing under his custody isn't ready for the duties of a manager and therefore deserves summary dismissal.

People who know little about an endeavor are more likely to make better informed decisions regarding that specific field unlike those who know nothing.

The president will appoint people to head specific agencies , if he is not knowledgeable he will keep signing papers he knows nothing about. Leading to continuous draining of our treasury which we all want to bring to a halt.

Knowledge should be continuous , it is not easy to keep pace with the ever changing and dynamic world we live in. When you see people doing that, give them kudos because it is even more difficult when you are a multi billionaire.

I specifically give Obi kudo, from philosophy to business and still willing to learn a little about other fields should be something to emulate.

Appoint Ministers you mean and who are the Ministers?
Someone a Minister in Power and what are their qualifications?
We both know-how and why they give out such positions.
OBI can't be everywhere and his campaign team should stop using this silly approach of selling him to us.
When he is true with his studies let him come for examination.

Carim19:
I’ve been trying to pay for paid email but no going through” payment failed “

Has it been up to 6 weeks since your biometrics?
Y'all be patient.

TheGoodJoe:

Peter Obi wants to understand the process. From how much it cost for the plants, source of energy, mode of distribution, etc. Not the whole mechanics.

Or, you want a President advisers can lie to and siphon the country black.

Carry me dey go,
Peter Obi,
Carry me dey go,
For Better Naija.

Tell him to come let me teach him Physics
That's how Buhari became Minister of Petroleum Resources.
Is that actually the quality of a good leader??
I hope he can delegate the right task to his team.
I expect to see him and his team and not just his team...his media team is a flop...They just selling crazy ideas as if we are all ignorant.

tasho105:
Pls help with the list of documents to attach for ER....i20, international passport....and what Pls

Appointment Confirmation
GT Receipt
I-20
Passport
Servis Fee Payment.
These are the documents I usually attached except you have been denied in the past 6 months then your ER might be denied.
Give a good reason while you're traveling before classes begin like you need to register for your courses and settle down before classes begin.

Can someone enlighten me on how a Philosopher understudy Power in another country under 3days or even in less than a year.
This is Physics/Electrical/Electronics Engineering...
Is he planning to be the Minister of Power as well??
Nigeria needs qualified Ministers to handle these sectors and not give the position to politicians just to compensate for their loyalty/support.

Luckyuk:
Good evening everyone! I got admission to study at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. My classes will start on 13th August, 2022. I have received my Form I-20 and I have paid my SEVIS fee. I applied for an emergency request but I was denied. My classes will start on 13th August 2022. Please what can do to get a visa interview? Any person with useful information should kindly help me.

Try and join a WhatsApp group to check for available dates.
What was the body of the message and what documents did you attach to the ER you made??
Try and give a good reason for making ER by stating your purpose for traveling on the requested date.

Bloggers are the ones tarnishing the image of this Country.
Lady journalism.

giselle237:
Everything was done wrongly. So
many red flags.
money lodgement
No proof of genuine relationship to sponsor
Sponsor unable to state residency status or show proof of how his money is earned
Sponsor wants to use all the money in account to find trip
Applicants have poor financial standing
Applicants generally did not do their homework. Cover letter was not even close to been an issue as you thought.

Thanks for the insight.
True to everything you mentioned.
Sponsor was trying to hide his main account details from the appicant
