Vo: OK. I'm sorry u do not qualify for a visa at this time.
What did I say wrong?? He had denied three people seeking f1 visas just before me. He looked strict and businesslike. He was typing all through and was barely looking me.

Justmey:
Please, when reapplying for another interview after getting form 214b, will the person need to fill a new DS 160, or is it the old one that will be used? Before going ahead to pay visa fee and scheduling another appointment.

I think you have to upload your previous ds160 and edit it accordingly

ril1adigun:
Ok this is a going to be a little bit long considering the delay. #Late post
I wanna go into the detail of every event so atleast some people would avoid themselves some stress.
I applied to dominican college in Newyork city for an MBA in healthcare management. I recieved my i20 on june 5. I went on to the ustraveldocs website and read the process and steps involved and followed as indicated there. As i have never filled out an application for an F1 visa even though i have been helping people with German visa application. On the site I realized i needed a passport with atleast 6months bfor expiration bfor entering the united states, so i got bothered as my passport was ro expire for sept 1st which is less dan 3months. I have always known dere is always a walk around when it comes to things u read online so i chose to contact the embassy via a phone call and the lady i spoke too told me it would be better i renewed my passport but based on my discretion i could choose to apply with the about to expire passport. I wanted her to commit by saying, u can use the passport but she acted professionally by twisting her words....u can if u choose too sir, den she said Nigeria is exempted from that rule but i would need a renewed passport before i travel if my visa was apporved. So i proceeded to learning the next phase i.e pay up my sevis fee even though i knew i could book an appointment den and make sure to pay up my sevis bfor attending the interview but i wasnt sure who was going to help me pay up my sevis yet...so i thought i should sort that first. So i called someone i knew at ikoyi to help with my passport, went for it and even though dere was no booklet.....he is a boss there and i got my passport in less dan 2days. My sevis was paid on june 15th by a friend in the US and I then went on to gtb on the 21st of june to pay my visa fees. After which I checked online to book an appointment and d earliest date was for 23rd all other dates were cancelled because of the ramadan festivities and holidays and d next available date was july 7th. So i chose june 23rd. 6.30a.m appointment.
I had booked an uber guy i use regularly to pick me for 4.30 in d morning from igando. Got there for past 5. I have been going to the embassy for a long time because I have been helping people with german parol so i knew not to answer those touts who would be telling u cant drive in, u cant do this and dat...... Dose guys make money even in the midnyt......awon ajé embassy(embassy witches and wizards)
So d guy drove in and dropped me exactly infront of the armoured vehicle mostly always packed by the USA embassy. Forming big boi as if na me get car......
So it was almost 6 so i went to that park and got somewhere to pray.
I rushed infront of the queue and did all processes....d part i was to remove my belt allowed about 6 people to get infront of me.....
In the interview room, only one white woman presumably in her 50s with white hair was available, she interviewed 3 people who were going for health reasons. She denied the 2 of them. I was supposed to be the third but the olori gbeske cgi guy went to take some people from the line and put them in front of me and moved me to the now ready white guy which i assumed was d next in line a teamlead i guess. He came in with ear piece (mid thirties) fresh guy with slightly yellow beards.... i admired this guys skill.....he was looking at my face while typing so fast and asking questions.....multitasking skill aye.!!

Me: then i explained to him the research we did tugeda summarizing and explained to him since he is now d vc i carry out his research, analyze, prioritize dem and report them to him in a scientific spreadsheet (all of these i already wrote in my ds 160, and i said it d same way)... He nodded and started typing...he took my passport started filling out details on it....den he said
Vo: whos sponsoring u?
Me: my mum, shes a successful.business woman, she is a distributor of nestle products and some indigenous brands.
I already started feeling like i have gotten the visa cos he already put my passport away....den he looked to confirm on my i20 who was sponsoring me and said oh ok...it also says here ur mum is spomsoring u...den he saw on my i20 where dey wrote on masters of business administration without the healthcare management den said;
Vo: ur i20 says u r going for business administration.....it looks as though u r changing ur course....
Me:, No...its an Mba,masters of business administration with concentration in healthcare management...but its not indicated on the i20, but i indicated it on d ds 160.

Vo: i am sorry it looks as though u r changing ur course, u can pls reapply...den takes my passport from the pile of passport he already accepted and gave me a blue paper.....d lady besyd me who took my spot for the woman looked at me with a smile cos she just got d white paper which i would have gotten from the old woman.
I just left with a very sad heart.....in my head, how om earth am i going to get another 64k now....dose mopo outside were already asking dem give u?, dem give u?
I wanted to say whats ur business....but i just concentrated on making sure people still on d queue didnt notice what was going on in my mind and on my face. So i left.... My 64k and 3kfor uber just wasted like dat....i had planned on taking uber home if i was given but as dem no give me....na maruwa to obalende and brt to oshodi o.....��.
It was d most boring eid il fitr i av had my life.....cos i was just home and nothing excites me.....
I came back on the thread(Nairaland) and saw a guy now friend patovicky delayed a day before mine and posted about being delayed and dat he had rebooked immediately(money don dey ground already). So i contacted him and told him i was delayed too.... I wanted to know what would be of his case.....�using him as a test run, bruv na joke o
He got his visa july 11/12 i think....den i saw alot of other people Had refired and gotten it. We chatted and he told me he got it. I borrowed money from someone. Refired and like myself chose d next earliest date again july 20th 8:15am.all d dates had time for 9a.m. i have seen people think d time determines whether u would be granted or not thats why i am giving details o....sorry if i start to bore u with the long story.
For people who wanna refire or fill their form
So i took my white towel hanged on my door, took a picture of my face myself den still using my fone...went to imageresize.org, uploaded den cropped the picture and put the embassy photo requirement of 600*600 pixels and uploaded on d ceac....try to put dis picture from bfor u retrieve or start a new application. It helps to make ur uploading easier....and if u experience any glitche during photo upload in ur application log out...den put the photo from d login page den when u regrieve ur application it makes it easier for u to upload and this time it would go thru....
I retrieved my last application and d only part i changed was d part i was asked if i have been refused a us visa, turned back at the port of entry etc (and i filled yes, and put the reason stated on the blue paper i was given the last time i.e refused based on section 214b or so), den i also noticed somethings had changed demselves like my intended date of travelling, date on my passport etc, so pls be careful not to assume because u retrieved everything is still correct, look thru as if u r filling a new form. Fast forward.

Episode 9 of my series story
I stepped out and dose mumu mopo still asking people we stepped out tugeda; dem give u? Their.main aim is for u to give dem something. But because of the bone i wore on my face, dey didnt bother asking me....in deir mind dem don give this guy blue paper. I came out of the visa hall with an elderly man who had previously had a quarrel with a cgi man and d guy delayed him bfor he was later attended too....he was giving the white paper but he told me dey didnt collect his passport because it was expiring in about somedays sha. Dat he was told to renew and mail his passport to the embassy or so and his passport will be ready for pickup 3days after the embassy recieves his passport.
So i was going to post my transcript but i was unable too bcause i had to travel and i wanted to collect my passport first. The wait bcame longer because of d weeknd and i hoped nothing went wrong (world people reasons) Tuesday came i still didn't recieve d msg to come pick up since Thursday, then in the nyt i got a mail... I den decided to go to isolo whr i chose, on getting dere dey searched and told me dey don't hv my passport that maybe i should go to vi...den i got worried..... E ma dami duro....eyin eyan, ejor....i sat calmly and said i hv not hrd anybody tlk abt passport pick up miss...den it got to my turn, dey started checking as if it was lost, den finally it was dere...dts when i got settled. I would hv posted earlier, pls pardon me nairalanders...but for unsettled reasons.
No GRE, SAT,nor toefl but i had prepared answers for them.

Note:
U dont have to spend extra money doing coloured photocopy....dat shit is expensive except perharps u have a printer....dey dont need ur documents to be coloured....all of my documents werent

U can also try a few minutes preparation with someone whos had d experience of d vo to help u gain confidence...i praticed using a mirror then called @patovicky d nyt bfor my interview to make it easier to respond faster to questions (u r appreciated bruv). Let someone tell u what u r sounding like, probably if u r fidgeting or ok.

Also travelex in d airport exchanges dollar at 362# but u would need ur boarding pass which means u would only b able to change it after u check in...and its under 10mins (pos transfer). Other plcs in d airport changes at 364 and u barely need anything but cash and ur passport only.
Sincerely..... Alhamdulilahi

i am about to go for interview and my i20 also doesn't show my option. Did u remove the public health option on your ds160 for the second interview? Abi u just left it like dt.

I tried loading the contacts from my email but the list I got wasn't up to date. So I tried syncing my contacts on my blackberry to my gmail again, I then signed out my google account on my android. On logging in and trying to load my contacts through my mail, it's now empty. No contact was displayed. I don't know what to do. Is there any app that can help? I've never used an android phone by the way, I've always used a blackberry phones. Thanks in anticipation.

Why kill and eat the poor animal for no logical reason. We are no longer in the 18th century. If you're hungry or feel like eating meat, you can buy beef, chicken or pork in markets all around you. Thats a beautiful animal you just wasted.

so killing an animal to eat is illogical? Why kill the cow, chicken or pig to eat then?

Squig:
Did you have doubts about your spouse before your wedding?

Did you meet someone amazing and you wanted him but decided to go ahead and marry your spouse?

How do you feel about the marriage now? Do you feel you did the right thing?

I'm in my mid 20s and I'm getting married next month, we've been together for almost 5years. He is the love of my life and I've never doubted my love for him or the fact that I wanted a family with him. He's got everything I want in a man.

The problem is we started having issues about 6 months ago, we stopped talking like before and we are completely disconnected now especially on my end but we're still going ahead with the marriage plan and I still want to marry him.

I met another guy I am really attracted to and we've been talking about a lot. He knows I am having issues with my man and I can't tell him we are planning to get married.

I'm having doubts about my man now, I'm confused, I feel I'll be happier with this new guy, I'm thinking it's lust but it's getting more complicated. Should I go on with the wedding?

Feel free to talk sense into my head, I need to hear hard truths.

u have skipped d little fact that u already made love to d new guy.

Can you identfy the other creature in the pic. When bent to the left, u see a horse's head.

toprealman: This guy is a big headed fool! Intelligent students are tested and some who excel remarkably well get double promotion.
Rather than let his ego hinder his progress, why didn't he go and show arsenal what he can do and afterwards say no to the offer for being insulted as a result of being invited for trials.
Ibrahimovic did that...yes but then scouts are no fools. They see what most people don't see. he should go and find out what happened to Ndidi Anumunu, one of our finest local player who played for iwuanyanwu int'l.
Hope you don't regret your action son.

I think d fool is you. D only players that do trials are unestablished or 'spent' players. Zlatan was a teenager when he went for that trial and u compare that situation with that of an international. It is pple like u who don't know their worth that make dis country messed up.

Gladiator, scarface, the godfather, pirates of the carribean, last don, the good,the bad and the ugly.

Alfa Seltzer: There's leak in church roof. They may want to fix it before the water causes further damage. Or not. That's their problem.

u don talk everything finish. Our pple sef, always wanting to see something dats not there. Let's say its not caused by leaking roof, how are they sure its mary and not ...say...joan of arc

Religion, sometimes, cannot be taken word for word because the world the prophets lived in was definitely different from ours. I'm sure there are so many things in the old testament that would land me in jail but I choose to use my common sense. Even yorubas used to give out/marry underage girls but as we got enlightened, things changed. Can't say the same for our northern counterparts though. Yerima has raised some good points but he left out the part where he had zero achievement as a governor and now as a senator, he's crossed over zero to the negative side. Maybe if he and his foolish cohorts do their damn jobs, our sisters won't be going to europe to sell their bodies. But then, how will they get them to attend their wild parties if they did. F**cking paedophile, still waiting for u to give ur underage daughters out coward.

4 Play: It's probably just guarding its next meal

always seeing it through the 'bad' side. Hopeless fellow, learn to see the good side of things once in a while, it's good for ur health.

I don't understand why you people are making a fuss over a satirical news. It is obviously intended to be taken lightly. If anyone takes it seriously, such person needs to have their head checked out.

tomakint: This is pure charm at its peak, if not how do you explain a medium-sized man (perhaps around 85-90kg) messing with 300kg of cement

dude, u belong to the 18th century.

adaobi123: It's not very attractive

of course it isn't, unlike ur diamond encrusted version.

I think d fruit in question is not sex, because God commanded Adam and Eve to be FRUITFUL and MULTIPLY. Except there was another way to do that, apart from sexual intercourse, I do not think he would frown on such between Adam and Eve. He intended for them to have sex, hence the anatomical compatibility of their/our reproductive organs. But I will not pretend to be a genius as regards biblical matters as I do not know what the forbidden fruit was but we can safely assume it's not sex.

davidylan:

odd. Isaac Newton certainly murmured to himself every day.... we wont bother to compare his mental capacity with yours.

are u implying Newton was a Christian? We all know d guy was labelled 'herectic' by the Church.

maclatunji:

Yeah, like science gave you infant formula, only for science to realise later that breastfeeding human babies by their mothers is best as prescribed in the Qur'an 1400
years ago.

God be he blessed and exalted says: (The
mothers shall give suck to their children
for two whole years, (that is) for those
(parents) who desire to complete the term
of suckling) [Surat al-Baqarah, verse: 233].

http://kaheel7.com/eng/index.php/miracles-for-kids/272-breastfeeding-for-two-full-years

science has NEVER said that infant formulas are better than breast milk. It is because of babies who have busy mums or no mothers at all that infant formulas got made. Sometimes, not everything is being made to disprove religion.

Afam4eva: So, who do we believe between him and the Latino pastor that made the same pronouncement.

and
that, fellas, is the right question. Some people are going to follow him like a robot.
