So sorry about your refusal. Is it TLS that sends the refusal letter or UK gov? I'm curious to know how and when it comes?

giselle237:
Sorry about your denials. I dnt necessarily think absence of 1 or 2 cover letters is a reason for refusal.
Your personal circumstances and that of your mom will be scrutinized even though your brother is sponsoring… they need to make sure that you both have reasons not to stay back and become illegal or to seek asylum.
Blur out personal details and post the refusal letters here, maybe we can help.
Anytime I sponsor family etc I write a cover letter to the ECO basically explaining who I am, what I do, who the visitor is to me, when they are coming, total trip duration, what I will be covering, documents I have attached, that the visitor will be leaving after such and such date, my happiness and readiness to speak to them if any additional info is needed etc
Then the visitor writes a cover letter to explain their own personal circumstances , their trip itinerary, home ties etc
Then I write an informal invitation letter to the visitor explaining my happiness to sponsor their trip etc.
this is just my way.

giselle237:
She- cover letter contents including - to explain relationship to you, she misses you, the importance of family ties, why she has chosen to visit now and how u are happy to cover the whole trip expenses, duration of the trip, what she has heard about the british culture, why she is excited to visit, what she wants to experience from this trip, what she hopes to be doin on each day of the trip… well detailed.. who is she, school she attends in Nigeria.. blow the trumpet of d school.. eg most prestigious school in the north eastern region of Nigeria.. year she started, how she can not abandon studies to go and becom illegal as she loves her dept, her course and cnt wait to start applying herslf post grad in Nigeria,
How she sustains herslf in nigeria, dependnt on parents, ? does not need to spend her money as parents fully provide needs, where she lives,

Visa approved 1/06/2022
First attempt
St Louis University, MSc
Full Funding, zero deficit
US Consulate Abuja

I arrived the embassy before 6:30 and waited till we were beckoned by the security for the business of the day. Started with security/documents check and thereafter CGI. At the CGI point the lady sent me back to retake my passport, touts use me shine.

Got inside and started waiting turns to be interviewed, I noticed there were three windows today conducting interviews; 8 (balded male vo), 9 (female vo) and 10 (younger female vo).

There were alot of white paper issuance I saw today. Green paper too, but minimal.

There was no Korean in sight today so no need to dodge.

It got to my turn and I went to young lady in window 10 for my interview. Greeted her and gave her my i20 and passport. She started their usual typing and then the following ensued:

Q1 How long have I worked in my current job

A. 1 year and 8 months

Q2 How long have I worked in my previous job

A. 2 years and 1 month

Q3 Do I have a study leave

A. Not yet. This is pending getting my visa approval

Q4 What is my post study plan

A. I intend to return to my current place of work, in a mid level management position. My organization is undergoing a transition phase and this is expected to last 3-5 years during which our operations will expand beyond the western region to a nationwide coverage. This will open up many positions and with my experience and degree, I will be positioned to fill one of these new positions.


Then the magic words came with the white paper.

(Full time score)

No documents were asked asides passport and i-20. Maintained eye contact all through. Had zero tension, abi anxiety.

*Three weeks ago (yes, three weeks ago) I did not have my i-20, interview date or made any payment for my Visa. applied for EA in Lagos and they bounced me before I switched to Abuja and got a close regular date. I didn't even know my funding will be full till I saw my i-20. And I was expected to be in school before July 5 for start of my summer classes. My DSO was doubtful of my chances cos the timing was too close.

Fast forward to today, I'm checking flights to Midtown St Louis and warming breakfast to serve my employer. Everything happened so fast and I'm yet to process all of these. GOD IS REAL.


Thank you to everyone who responded to questions, contributed and supported others here. Y'all the real MVPs.

It really took a village to make this happen

HDwayne:
Hi everyone, i trust we’re doing good. I need help on how to go about changing interview location. My Lagos EA got denied today, so I want to reapply for an EA in Abuja now. My question is, do I need to fill a new DS-160?

omitusaf:
Hello everyone.
I'm quite confused about this, so I'll love your suggestions.

I got a Masters admission with full funding in the US, and I'm at the stage of applying for visa. After going through the website of the US embassy in Nigeria, I found that passports are required to be valid at least six months after the program of study. However, my passport will be expiring three months after my study. Do you think this can affect my chances at the interview?

Brainner:
I'll advice you switch to Abuja.
I was in similar situation before I switched. My EA in Lagos was ignored as I didn't even get a reject or approval mail and I was running outa time.
I filled a new DS-160 form and I was allowed to use my initial MRV payment

Odekunle84:
I pay 300k for the family of 4 sir

bobobri:
If you don't mind how much did you pay the agent for the early date appointment

GerraMeh74:
