Yes, Lagos says no appointment available most of the times, but few of the times, date pops up.

For Abuja, also, earlier date becomes available once in a while, for instance, 2hrs ago, I checked and 1 slot for August 14th was available and a friend was able to book it.

Here's a strategy, you're allowed to view the calendar 5 times a day, you can check the page every 5 hours, make sure one of it is an odd hour when ppl might still be sleeping , it's alot of hard work, I know.

Also, tell people that has booked for both locations to alert you whenever they see dates that are favourable.

So it's not impossible to get dates for July ending or beginning of August, just keep checking but not too much so the system doesn't ban you for 72hrs.

All the best.

Thank you so much but do you know if proximity to resumption date affect visa decisions?

Kalkaothar:
Congratulations to all that has made this morning filled with goodnews! I rejoice with you! Thanks for the inspiration.

Please help guys, is close resumption/class start date or even past resumption a ground for possible denial?
I am trying to reapply and I'm not getting a closer date please, I was denied last month. School resumes 20th of August, Lagos is saying no appointment available! Abuja is floating between 26 and 27 of August.

Someone please respond���

Can't you defer to spring 2020 instead, they said the visa fee is valid for a year, so count 12 months from the time you paid. You'd have to use it within this period.

I tried scheduling a date in Abuja now, first available date is August 22. School resumes August 20 and classes start 26.
Will the proximity of the interview to class start date(school would have resumed) not be an automatic ground for refusal? Considering the fact that i may not be granted an expedited date...
Should I just keep checking later for available dates in both states?
Should I pick a date now and hope to reschedule later? What is the process for rescheduling anyway? What are the chances that I will get opportunity to reschedule?

Please help out!

Oooh! Okay thanks for the information! I don't think my school(University of New Haven) does spring intake but I'll confirm. Since it's 12months, I still have till 3rd of July next year, I would have reapplied for fall intake by then if there is no spring intake.

Deefav:
I honestly don't know if they will. Last time a date came out was about 3 weeks ago, on the 17th of June. I don't know if they'll still release any, we can only hope and pray. But if you can go to Abuja, you should. I mean if you desperately want to travel in August. Go for it. Like they say, location doesn't matter.

@Deefav, please i'm trying to reapply too but no appointment available. If i don't get a date in Lagos till the end and I have to defer till fall 2020, will the MRV number for the fee I paid still be valid?

Hello guys!
I'm new here, please help with clarifications and advise on the following.
I was denied a U.S Student visa at the Lagos Embassy on the 20th of June. School starts August 20 and classes start August 26. I am considering reapplying.
Here are my questions;
Will I be able to use emergency booking and I if I am, who has an idea on the nearest available EMERGENCY date in Lagos?
Someone said since I was denied in Lagos, I should still reapply in Lagos, what do you think?
What are the chances for getting my visa approved if I reapply a second time after 2weeks of denial?

Thanks in anticipation of your response. Kindly advice on other informations I might need.

@bracha... Thanks, I'll do that

@nersh @awumen... Thanks guys!

Very well! Thank you! I will get those documents ready towards the next interview which is dependent on getting those questions i have answered.
Pleeeease, who has answers to my questions?

@Seyewest, what makes me think they will give me is the ability to convince the consular officer this time, being able to demonstrate my eligibility better than last and above all, God's favour. Here is my previous transcript that led to a denial;

After passing passport and i-20 upon request;
VO: Why finance
Me: My goal is to work in the Financial services industry, specifically corporate finance. I did Finance as my undergraduate major, so a graduate degree in finance will equip me with the required mathematical and analytical skills to excel in the chosen career field. It will also improve on the theories I have learnt at my undergraduate level while providing me with practical applications of the said theories.

VO: Who is sponsoring?
Me: I got a 30% Dean's scholarship in form of a tuition waiver and my uncle will be handling the rest

VO: what does he do?
Me: He is into clearing and forwarding business. Also does Agriculture. *I paused....then continued;
I have his bank statements and affidavit..

VO: I was(or wasn't, I didn't hear him clearly) going to ask for that
Me: searching for the document

VO: you do not qualify
Me: I left


N.B: my voice shaked a little at the start of the answer to my first question but it wasn't obvious at all
