Hello Guys!
Visa Approved this morning at the US Consulate, Frankfurt.
The consular officer allowed me to finish my sentences so I was really free to express myself.
No SOA

This was my 9th attempt since 2017 that I have been trying. I did alot mistakes at the beginning that resulted in the series of refusal but God showed forth today.

I will drop transcript later

Good morning house. Thanks to everyone who has been contributing.
I think I have made a big mistake and I would like to clarify. In request for my I-20, I used father's account but in filling my DS-160, I plan going with my uncle's account as sponsor. Is this an automatic rejection?

Flaame:

Hello threadmates. How is everyone doing? I think I can spend some time here now. The crazy didactic year of my studies was over in May and the clinical phase that started after gives room for personal life.

For those visa approved since I last visited here https://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0016.gif

LagosismyHome and others, I can see you.

Hey justwise. Thanks for putting the thread in order.

Stanmedix:
Hi guys
Please has anyone witnessed this...visa approved at point of interview but received a mail a day later for supplemental questions without being issued a yellow form? Again, how long after visa approval will the status change to issued? Thanks in anticipation of your response.

VO: How did you get to know the school, IUP?
Me: (this was my planned answer) I got to knownof the school through 2 acquaintances of mine (which wasn’t true) then she gave me the shocker....

VO: What are their surnames?
Me: I actually didn’t prepare for this so I just kinda gave her two random names.

VO: she typed on her pic and was like she couldn’t find those names in her database...
Me: I was like that’s strange cos they actually studied there....

VO: Why do you wanna study Geography?
Me: (at this point, I was already destabilized as a result of the failed name ish) I gave an answer about my main area of concentration being environmental planning and how this would help checkmate the harmful excesses of urbanization. But wasn’t feeling the session again but just kept hoping.

VO: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3 schools, IUP, Western Illinois University and Texas Southern University....(although I applied to just one)

Please I really need your advice..... if I reapply, how would I remedy the “how do you know about IUP” question and in what other ways can I make my general case more convincing.

Kindly help a brother.... thanks in anticipation...

Olayinkaji:

TheNoble007:
Good morning fam. My school (CUNY) is demanding for a proof of income like paystub, tax returns etc of my sponsor, in order to get my I 20. Is this ideal? . Apart from sponsor's bank statement to cover deficits. I got a merit scholarship together with a GRA. I gained admit late because I applied late, and I feel like abandoning this whole thing for France. My sponsor is a business man. Very few business men have tax returns. Can you please advise me on what to do? Thanks!

Felizz:

Can i pick up a dates without DS160 and visa payment receipt?

Yhukay00:

Hi, to help future prospective students,including the name of the University and maybe course of study will be appreciated.

Location: Lagos Embassy

Date: 8 July 2019

Status: Denied

PhD Full funding, No deficit

VO was a black guy at window 9.

I was confident and I was one of the first few people in the consulate for 6:30am appointment, he denied the 4 people in front of me and one mind is saying change queue, another is saying don't worry �

Me: Good Morning
VO: Good mornind. Pass me your passport and I20 which I did
VO: I see that you're going to the University of Toledo, why did you chose the university of Toledo?

Me: Cos the department of Chemical Engineering at university of Toledo focuses on sustainability issues relating to the production materials and chemicals from renewable resources, also the research of Prof Bleep on Membrane process Optimization for carbon capture perfectly aligns with my research interest, and I was also awarded Graduate teaching assistantship that fully covers my tuition and living expenses.

VO: how many school did you and apply to and how many admitted you?

Me: I applied to 8 schools (VO cuts in)

VO: How many admitted you?
Me: 4 schools, MTU, university of Missouri, university of Toledo and University of Florida

VO: Have you traveled outside Nigeria before?

Me: Yes, I went on a week vacation to Dubai last year

VO: Sorry you're not qualified at this time ��‍♂

Like dream. Kindly advice on what next to do guys, I have full funding that covers tuition and living expenses, no deficit but excess of 9k more than the estimated average in fact.

iwriterng:
Yes. I used Statement Of Result as my certificate isn’t ready yet.

Regardless, they will still send a copy of the document back to your school for validation.

What you’re sending to WES:

Certificate/Statement Of Result: From your end
O’Level Scratch Card: From Your end
Official Transcript: From Your School
O’Level Verified Result: From Examining Body

Mslynxx:
Good evening house. Please can I send my statement of result to WES in place of my degree certificate for evaluation?

segunbolawole:
Calvary greetings to you my genuine Nigerians

Is it OK I request the V.O glance thru the flow chart of my business model as part of my reasons for the degree

Thats if I'm asked the question on why the school and course.

What do you guys think please

Afo1k:

Although, I had a deficit of $3300 on my I 20, no bank statement was asked. Am going for a doctorate degree.

Brown2Green:


Your uncle can request for SOA from anywhere in the world.
Softcopy can be mailed in seconds from bank.
Hard copy can be shipped to anyone.

So what else is stopping you?

Brown2Green:
Like I do advice others having delays in their I20 delivery, contact the international office and request your Sevis ID and school code ( that's all you need to pay for your Sevis fee and proceed to the rest process)

This way, you can book before the arrival.

Some school even mails a soft copy of your I20 on request

So make the call right now .
