this is just wicked. What was your countenance like were you smiling and informal or you were serious and formal? What were you going to study and how much was the cost. Were you interviewed by the black woman?
Wait o, is it a crime to smile during an interviewhuh Haa

Since you have a brother studying in same school, they knew you heard the school from your brother and what you said made them feel that you are lying. Best thing to do is to apply to other schools maybe in another state, then use the new school next time.
Yes. True. I forgot there was such an option as this. Apply to a different school.

Thanks a lot for this information, my intention at first was to tell them that my brother recommended it to me but I was told by one of the gurus in the house that if I make mention of that it could be a red flag for me bc they might see me as an intending immigrant, so I just came up with something to say.
And yes I filled that I have a brother in the state,it was after my service but same year I applied for a visiting visa
...and one annoying thing about these Consulars is that, if you come back and say you heard it from another source again, they will just throw you the blue paper like were politicians dey spray money for party.

I will advise sha, next time come up with the truth. They already have your info. You willingly gave it to them.

if I may ask, is your brother now out of status? Is he not still schooling? So why not tell the VO that your brother can't stop talking about the school and this is stirring up the desire for you to go and experience same thing he is experiencing. That way, you sound true and cool. That's if your brother is still schooling o but if he has absconded and fallen out of status, it may be bye bye to the US for now until you improve your profile personally wella. I may be wrong o but I am talking from what I have heard in the past.

I have a friend whose brother joined the US Army from school. He didn't finish school. This my friend (whose brother is in the US Army) is a lecturer and got full funding with stipends. Guess the first question the consular used in greeting him. WHY DIDN'T YOUR BROTHER FINISH HIS STUDIES? Of course we all know this kinda question no dey get transcript nah... lol... Before my guy could pull up a defense, Consular throw another one: SO HOW WILL U PROVE TO ME YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TROLL THE PATH OF YOUR BROTHER? Before he could recover from the shock, Blue paper dey him hand already.

I will advise, if you must apply again, say the truth on how u heard about the school. Those guys know already.

Okay thanks. Also is it possible for me to get visa for spring and decide to resume same course in fall?Like even after getting the visa (let's say) but I defer and resume fall
It seems u will need to go for another visa interview o cos it seems u will have issues at the Port of Entry. I am not sure sha but seem I have read such on this thread last year.

Let's keep our fingers crossed and wait for a more authentic response from people that know better.

Hello house,

My visa was delayed yesterday at Lagos embassy though dis is my second attempt after being denied a b1/b2 visa last year September,the Vo asked me just two questions of which I answered her confidently the next thing was the blue paper,am still depress right now because I have a very influential sponsor who is my uncle and ready to sponsor my education. Below is the questions that I was asked

VO: What university am going to?
Me : Am going to the University of Akron in Ohio

VO: How did I hear about the University
Me: Told her the first time I heard about the University of Akron was during an educational seminar held at Akwa Ibom when I was still serving,then later visited their official website to get more information about the school and I was impressed with their faculty profile and course curriculum.

That's all she asked me before giving me the blue paper though I have a brother presently in the University of Akron who is a masters student.

Please gurus in the house should please help me look into this and aligt wat went wrong before I re-fire.
While filling th DS160, there was a place you were asked if you had any relative in the US right? What did you fill?


I am suspecting they know your brother is schooling there and hence you were suppose to hear about it from your brother and not from any other place.

Again, another place I am suspecting is this: WHO HELD THE EDUCATION SEMINAR IN AKWA IBOM STATE? I think u should have stated it. Like saying I heard about it in an Education Seminar organized by XYZ in Akwa Ibom state and then u try to broaden on what the speaker or whoever you heard it from had to say about the school.


These are my two pieced assumption sha in my own small thinking. I just think so.

*I had to modify this post*
I had to read your post again. When did you serve? Was it same year you were denied a b1/b2 visa? If yes, VO will see it that u wantu run away with school as shortcut. If NO (meaning u have heard about it since), VO will be like, why didn't u come that time for an F1 interview but rather u opted for B1/B2?

Another way to view this is, when u wanted to go on a B1B2 visa, were u going to visit ur brother? If yes, then MY FIRST EVER POINT HERE HOLDS THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW U SHOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS SCHOOL FROM UR BROTHER.

It's that easy. I could be mistaken though. This is just from my small brain sha.

Why TAMUK is the same as Why did you choose TAMUK.Remove the aside from and go straight to the point.Also,talk about research before multidisciplinary points.
Also notes that most courses in the US are multidisciplinary so it is not a strong point.You may want to talk about the course synopsis emphasizing a particular course which is you are more interested in place of multidisciplinary curicullum.Like it emphasizes sustainable development which you think can help you in so and so areas...that's better.
Are you for spring?
I am considering TAMUK in summer.

Why did you change them? These people are still alive? The change is unnecessary, and it is not like embassy will call them. For job position/responsibilities, you are fine. Good luck!
Thanks for your prompt response. Can I add them back just below the new two I added? making them a total of four contacts?


I am asking though cos I need to correct my DS160. I still work in the same bank where I just got a new position but while filling the DS160, I didn't see where to add a new job role so I cleared the former role and inputted with the new one and new date I began the new role. Now this new date (January 2018) is making it seem like I have been working less than a year so someone suggested I should put back the date I was employed January 2014, type the new job role below where they have a box for job responsibility description and say from January 2018 till date, while also indicating below my other responsibility which was from January 2014 to January 2018.

Please advise. Thank you.

Good morning house. I had previously been denied last year Spring so left it till this year Spring to reapply again. I want to ask, while filling my new DS160, I changed the two contacts entirely that I filled on the SEVIS contact page column with some other two persons. Asides that change and the addition of my new job position/ responsibilities, which I recently added, there were no much changes to my DS160. Please hope I am safe?

Please How much does it cost to do drop-off at the DHL Isolo?

I went for interview yesterday, the VO said she needs additional information. I am still praying for the best.

Can someone please tell me why they are denying students study visa?
I went for interview yesterday (19th of December, 2018). I spent like 5-6 minutes (though I fuc...ed up at a point due to fear) with the VO asking me questions and typing. The VO wasn't even looking at me.
They denied a lot of applicants infact all 20-30 applicants (no exaggeration) before me were denied.
What's wrong?


Thanks
I will advise, next time you go. Just focus on yourself and yourself alone. Do not let other people's denial deter you. YOU ARE UNIQUE AND UNIQUE YOU ARE.

For me, VO typing throughout sef would had been an advantage to you to kill your game. What would you have done if he or she had fixed his/her gaze on you? You for kuku loss nah... lol

Guys, i was denied visa at Lagos embassy despite my full tuition waiver and 1,086 dollars monthly stipends.

Here is the transcript.

Me: Good morning
VO: frowning

VO: your pass and I-20
Me: pass

After typing for what I believe is my service
Is service number, he then ask why do I want the school

VO: So why WIU?
Me: Aside the fact that this school is known for its groundbreaking research in Aquatic biology, which attracts me, I have been offered a Teaching assistantship with full tuition waiver and monthly stipend; Also, WIU is located along Mississippi River in moline, where the school has been able to carry out series of research on aquatic ecosystems protection and fisheries management control. Which is in line with my research interest. I have also been offered a lifetime academic opportunity to engage in aquatic research and have international university teaching level experience, which will enhance my chance to continue to the post of assistant lecturer at university of Lagos.

VO: but your uncle will paying your deficit
Me: yes with my mum.

Vo: Have you traveled before,
Me: No

Then he typed and gave me blue paper.

What would you advise to reapply or differ and pls what's the best possible date I can get.
I don't believe it has to do with travel history here at all not sponsor. For me, the response you gave when asked WHY THIS SCHOOL sold you away.

Does it mean that asides the stipends and scholarship blablabla u won't have opted for this school? Is that so? Why not state other reasons and then use the scholarship TO CROWN IT ALL UP?

Again, in ur response to why this school, u told the VO that u will have a lifetime academic opportunity to engage in aquatic research and have international university teaching level experience blablabla.... To me, that life time feels like telling the VO the school has even given u opportunity to stay with them for life (probably after u graduate... lol)


These are my own personal opinions o. Please do not misquote me. However I will advise you refire and dwell on other things that made the school endeared to you....

You denial was never about your sponsor. NEVER (nor travel history - maybe never)

Again, this is my opinion but some people will say what does he know... I wish you the best baba.

Ararume2:
What about age?
It won't be nice to have "an outsider" sponsor u when u are over 30. It doesn't show you are responsible especially when you are married too. I am not saying the guy was married. He didn't state that but I feel he is over 30 and information on his DS160 may have red flags. He didn't tell us if he was gainfully employed. If he was and NEVER saved at least little to alleviate his in-law then it's bad.



Again, this is my little opinion. I don't know much but trying to think outside the box

visa delayed at the US consulate in Lagos... i must confess, i find it difficult to understand the reason... i wasn't even asked about any standardized test... below is my transcript....

VO: good morning
Me: good morning (passes passport and i20)
Vo: which school are u going to?
Me: East Tennessee state university
Vo: what course?
Me: Engineering Technology
Vo: what's ur highest level of education
Me: Bsc in Physics
Vo: which year?
Me: 2014
VO: What have u been doing since then?
Me: After my Nysc, i could not get an offer in my field , so i've been teaching since
Vo: Did u get a scholarship?
Me': yes, i was awarded a merit-based scholarship which covers 50% of my tuition
Vo: Did u apply to any other schools?
Me: yes, university of Idaho
Vo: were u accepted?
Me: yes
Vo: so why did u choose ETSU
Me: ETSU has an option in Electronics engineering technology,. I got to know about some of the ongoing research in the department from Dr. Uddin, the graduate coordinator, especially digital signal processing, coordinated by Prof Paul Sims, an expert in the field. And because of my interest in the pursuing a career in communications engineering when i return, i believe it will give me the opportunity to gain world class skills required to make me indispensable in the field.
[b] Vo: who's ur sponsor?
Me: i was awarded a merit based scholarship which covers 50% of my tuition [\b], and my Uncle will be responsible for the rest of the fees
Vo: what does he do?
Me: He owns a company that produces poultry feeds, he also imports trucks into the country
Vo: Do u have his statement?
Me: yes, passes the statement
[b] Vo: (checks the statement for a while, and Returns it
[\b]

Then types for a while

After some time, prints the blue paper
If I am to say, the bolded is where I suspect the possible denial had come from.

1. Why shoot yourself on the foot by telling the VO you ain't marketable hence you couldn't get a job in your field? Why not go straight and say you have been teaching? And also is teaching Physics not related to your field? I don't just understand.

2. Who is your sponsor? That's a question. WHO and not if u got scholarship. She abi him had already asked u about ur scholarship before. Don't dwell on it. Focus on the question asked FIRST then u can add funding as an advantage.

3. Check the statement for a while and returns it. Here I suspect there wasn't enough account activity within the period or account activity DIDN'T reflect Poultry activities and truck purchasing activities in the period.


THESE are solely my opinion. I may be wrong. Just an observation.

However, you didn't do badly either. I wish you the best as you refire.

I also got denied today at Abuja embassy. I think today was just a bad day there cos I am going to refire. So to those two other people that didn't get, just calm down, reconstruct your transcript and reapply. Today was just a bad day in both embassies cos no one got while I was there for almost three hours.
Transcript
VO: Pass your passport and I-20
Me: passsed
VO: How did you choose this school
Me: I wanted a school that would allow me have my clinical rotations at the center for disease control and prevention so I chose this school because it would enable me have that opportunity
Cuts in
VO: what are the other schools you applied to
Mentioned them
VO: Who is paying for this
Me: My sister's husband
VO:How old are you?
Me: Mentioned
Then she passed the paper and said sorry
She was at window 6, tall white woman with pointed nose but she wasn't even giving people the room to talk and defend themselves.
Even families that had a lot of travel history were denied.
My observation:

1. HOW DID YOU CHOOSE THIS SCHOOL?
here VO meant how did you get to know about this school and not what factors made you choose the school. Your answer could be that it was recommended or you searched for it using xyz website or stuffs like that. let them know how u got to hear about the school and not y u chose it.

2. Your sponsor and then your age. By that question, I think VO will be wondering why your sister's husband will want to sponsor ur advanced studies. What is your ties with him? I think saying ur sister sef or an immediate family member is better and shows more ties than an inlaw. My opinion though, I might be wrong.

3. After u talked about ur inlaw being your sponsor, VO asked about ur age and I guess u r above 30 and they expect you to have a savings of your own as well to help lift the financial burden from ur inlaw. that way, your inlaw will first see you as a serious person first before the VO will confirm this as well. VO will see it that there is no real ties between u and ur inlaw. Your in-law is likely to attend to his own immediate family financial needs first before considering yours (who isn't his immediate family) . Again, it's my opinion o.

Not to discourage anyone but might probably give it a break or go to another country for my masters(i dont understand this yankee people anymore).. my interview was today at the lagos embassy and i was denied.

This is not my first time, i was previously denied around august this year and i made little changes to my ds160... added the fact that i was now employed and currently working in my dads private property and investment company as a site building project supervisor...

below is my interview transcript...

Vo:What are you going to do in the us?
Me: i am going for my msc in IE at the university of newhaven in west haven Connecticut

Vo: Why this course?

Me: I choose to study IE because of its limitless job opportunities. IE is a good mixture of business and engineering and that is why it is applied to most area of work that needs to be improved by any standard, there is really no other engineerig decipline that allows such level of freedom bwt the industry and roles that can be played by an Engineering sotherefore upon my return to Nigeria i did be able to fix into multiple rules in the Nigeria Industrial sectors ranging from prodcution, logistics, quality assurance, safety management and lots more..

Vo: what will you do after the end of your program?

Me: upon graduation i will be comming back to Nigeria to contribute to the revolution of industry, most especially the manufacturing industry because according to Nigeria vission 2020 the Nigeria manufacturing industry further provides us with the greatest opportunity to transform our economy and i hope to contribute imersely to this. Aslo going forward i hope to establish a polythene manufacturing...(he then cut me short)

Vo: kept typing for long, then looked at my I20 and asked who was paying and what does he do

Me: i told him first that i got 30 percent scholarship to reduce my tuttion and then my dad would be paying for the rest and i told hm my dad is an architect by profession and he is also a private building contractor and he also owns a private property and investment company in abuja.

Vo: Then he opened my passport and checked through for any visa stamp( same thing the last vo did, i dont understand why this is so do i have to have travelling esperience to secure visa?)

He then asked if i had travelled out of Nigeria b4 and i said no that i had no reason to until now...

Na so i hear sorry...!i just smiled and left

I was relaxed all through the conversation unlike my previous application

Please i would appreciate any input on this

Thank you.
So sorry about your denial dear. Your answers were okay and I will encourage you to try again and maintain consistency. But if I may ask, did you fill your DS yourself all through the times u have applied/ been applying? I asked because if someone else did, maybe they might have mistakenly inputted a travel history for you without you knowing it making most VOs to scroll through the pages of ur passport in search of a visa stamp. More so, I think with regards the question about your sponsor, you should have first stated who your sponsor was FIRST before talking about the funding. Remember the question was about WHO YOUR SPONSOR IS and not if you had a funding.

I have read your transcript over and over and I suspect it's about your response with regards your sponsor. Let us learn to Answer what we are asked FIRST before adding jara or better still leaving it at that

I may be wrong but this is my observation. Next time tell them who your sponsor is first cos VO may wonder, doesn't it mean u wouldn't have schooled or wanted to pursue your studies if u never got funding? Again, my opinion though.

I wish you the best. But please, do not give up.

2. As at Friday last week, my sponsor had presently in his account about 16M+ and I am hoping no more cash leaves his account until I print his statement. Now my question is this. Is 16M enough to show to cover my fees of $29,542 (about 11M in naira) which covers tuition, living expenses, book and insurance?

I have been a silent reader here and I just want to thank all the guru on here. God continue to bless you all. The first time I came on here I had a heart attack because of the reject I saw that day and it was the same university I got admission to and I planned never to come to nairaland ever again. But some one encouraged me to come 2 days to my interview day and I did and did not regret it.
My transcript

Vo looking at me while waiting to give someone she called a reject and asked me to come forward

Me: good morning ma’am
Vo: good morning thank you

Vo: you going. To xxxx school to study
Me: ms in mechanical engineering

Vo: you work with what company
Me: I said the xxxxx

Vo: how did you hear about this school
Me; ( my heart beating 1million beats per second) while working offshore ...... mumbled rubbish. Started again and said it meet my career goals
Was meant to say. While working offshore on a steam turbine turbo machinery used to convert sea water to drinking water. With some experts we got talking and they told me about some schools. I did my research and found out they meet my career goals.

Vo: do you have SAT
Me: no it’s not required by my school for admission.

Vo: typing ...... looked at me and said at this time to show your a qualified student to study in the USA you have to have tofel or GRE.
I’m sorry I can’t.
Me: I interrupt and said I did IElts
Vo: oh good where is the result
Me: was like wooow smiling looking at vo
Vo: smiles and was like give me something or or Give me something quick quick quick
What did you score?
Me: 7.0
Vo: that will do

Vo: sponsor
Me : uncle

Can’t remember if she asked what he does

Vo: and your parents
Me: xxxxx

Vo: ok give me statement of account
Me: gave her

Vo: with the nature of work you do you must be swimming in money. Give me your own statement
Me: I did
Looking through
Vo: why this so much withdrawal
Me:I’m building my own estates oh lovely

Vo: for now I don’t need your own. I’ll hold onto your sponsor and verify if there’s anything wrong you will be banned for life. Do you want me to proceed
Me: yes ma’am
Vo: go and pay your school fee and enjoy your studies. Gave me white paper. I could not hold back but gave the best smile ever and said thanks ma’am
Vo: yw enjoy your studies

I did not know if I wanted to run
Or walk.

If you plan to use fake bank statement don’t bother going for the interview.
And also prayer is the key honestly
Pray like you have never prayed before.

I saw God at work on my date.
Make sure your answers are very technical and relates to your work experience. It helps.
Thanks everyone here for your encouragement
God bless you all���
Another interesting transcript that shows that one has to be SMART, ALERT, CONSCIOUS WITHIN and WELL ARTICULATED.

You nearly would have gotten denied when VO started talking about SAT and how he/she "can't". Being alert and smart, u chipped in IELTS and that was your redemption.


Congrats brother. I wish you the best in your beautiful journey.

Kirusky4life:
I had my interview on 4th December at Lagos Embassy.

V.O: Good Morning, Can I have your Passport and I.20
Me: I obliged.
V.O: What course are you going to study?
Me: Am going for my graduate studies in Computer science at TAMUC
V.O: Why Computer science:
Me: I did computer science as my under graduate course, during that time, I developed a penchant for programming. It has been something am very passionate about, so I decided to get an advance degree and specialized in the field.
V.O: How did you hear about the school?
Me: I was doing a research online on school that offers database administration as an option in computer science, TAMUC was one of the schools I came across.
V.O: Why do you want to specialize in Database administration?
Me: (I didn’t prepare for this, but I had to come up with something). Database insecurity is one of the major problems facing Nigeria at the moment, we hear every time about people’s account being hacked in and the issue of cyber-theft is not left out. All these challenges are cropping up because of the poor implementation of the database servers. I want to specialize in this area so that I can contribute to combating these acts.
V.O: Did you apply to other schools?
Me: I applied to three schools, MTSU, Illinois state university and TAMUC
V.O: Did they all admit you?
Me: YES
V.O: so why TAMUC?
Me: The computer science department at TAMUC has a research area that most interest me and can benefit Nigeria if well detected. That is on Database SQL Injection and The implementation of ACID property of a database. Also I was awarded $1000 scholarship which also qualifies me for in-state tuition.
V.O: What is SQL Injection?
Me: SQL Injection is a technique used by Database hackers to add their own SQL code to the database via website input thereby making the database work out of the normal ways and work as they intended.
V.O: (He types something that looks like forever and continued). How did you hear of these research?
Me: My course advisor told me about it during one of our conversations.
V.O: and what did they find out after the research?
Me: The research is still ongoing, which is why am keen to know more about it.
V.O: Did you write any standard test?
Me: Yes, I wrote TOEFL and GRE
V.O: Who is sponsoring your trip?
Me: My cousin
V.O: Do you have is statement of account?
Me: Yes. Passed it on.
V.O: (He looked at it and returned it, then started typing again and brought out a white paper, wrote something on it and returned it with my passport and I.20). Your scholarship is not reflecting on your sevis profile, update it and submit your evidence and passport to us via DHL. No need for you to come back here to submit. Go through the paper I give you and see what you have to do.
Me: Okay. Thank you sir

I just sent the updated I.20 today and the dhl said it will be delivered within 21 working days. Please any1 sent additional documents to the embassy recently, How long did it take to deliver it. The thought of that 21 days is killing. school starts on 10th January.
One of the cutest transcripts I have read. Well articulated responses. Dishing out your answers like say nah Tennis una dey play.... Gimme, I give you back... Wow. Congrats bro
