Guys, does P2P crypto trading work in Canada similar to the way it works in Nigeria?
Also would I get taxed when withdrawing crypto from a crypto exchange. Anyone have any idea on how it works?

I have a questions guys.
My school is in New Brunswick and I'm taking a flight to Montreal, what are the chances they ask me for a connecting flight to New Brunswick at the Montreal POE. I would like to stay at Montreal for some days.

Kishkosh:

Can a student on student visa be a host?

Greetings guys, I'm going for a 4 years course and my passport expires in 2025 can I send this particular passport to vfs or do i need to get a new one. Pls how do i go about it.

Good day House. My sister went for her interview few days ago and she was given a white slip cause apparently she forgot her I 90 confirmation slip. My question is aside from the I 90 slip is there any other document that she should send to the embassy through dhl? Thanks.

princetx:
Good evening all.
Do you have any idea if US embassy asks for statement of account. As in, are they interested in knowing how much you have in your bank account?
Is there a space where you will be required to fill how much you have in your account for studies when filling DS-160 form?

During the interview, they sometimes ask for the statement of account.
And No, there is no space where you would be required to fill how much you have in your account for studies when filling DS-160 form, although but rarely you might be asked how much your sponsor makes.

xxxscholar:
If you need someone to properly review and scrutinize your DS-160 form you can send me a message, I am willing to help you cross your i's and dot your t's. Your ds-160 form is the most most important part of your application. It has to be error-free. By the way, I won't be charging a penny for this. Nairaland has been very helpful for me and I need to give back as much as I can.

It doesn't matter if you have submitted your DS-160 already or not. It can always be updated until 3 days before your interview.

Hey bro i just sent you a mail. I'm interested in you looking at my ds-160.

EstherOA:
Yes full vaccine is compulsory. Yes too, you've to take a new passport photo. Clearly stated on that blue slip given at refusal.

Thanks a lot.

Please i need someone to reply to my questions, thanks.

Kelex062:
Hey guys, so I saw some posts on the thread recently that a covid-19 vaccination is compulsory for you to be allowed access into the us, I would like to ask how valid it is.
And also do i need to snap a new passport for my ds160 when filling a new one after a previous denial.
Thanks.

Wow, Congratulations!

You guys should quit whining like kids and stop derailing this thread !!.
This thread is for US F1 visa enquiry and if you don't have anything valuable to say in the thread just f**king keep quiet !!! .

Lilbaby23:
Please if i should book the appointment for 2022 will i be able request for EA at the Abuja Embassy??

Someone should help me. Thanks

Yes, but you should only apply for emergency appointment 60 days before your program start date. And while applying make sure you provide necessary documents like your i-20 and sevis fee confirmation.

TOPMAN5252:
Please any advice on what he can do ?

If he can forfeit the visa fee he paid, he should consider starting afresh. Fill a new ds-160 form and opening a new cgi account with his email.

Kentos13:
can I pay visa fee with Gtb mobile app?
And if yes, pls what are the procedures to follow?

I only know of the process on the GTWorld app
1) On the home screen, click on "Payment".
2) You would see "Visa Fees" as one of the payment options, click on it.
3) Fill the form appropriately.
After the payment has been confirmed you would receive an email (to the email address you used to open the GTBank account) with the MRV fee receipt

I give thanks to God for the success of my Interview
My visa was approved on Tues, 7th Sept, 2021 for FALL SESSION. Yes, FALL SESSION.

I learnt a lot from this platform regarding my preparation and my conscience will not let me rest till I post my success story for others to learn from too. I thank everyone here, God bless you for the helpful tips, and by the Grace of The Almighty God, every other person here will testify too. Be relentless, pursue it like your life depends on it, above all, Gods Grace is supreme over all we do.

SO my school, Morgan State University resumed since the 23rd of Aug, with faith, I registered for classes (I didn't make payment though because the school gives so time before payment) and resumed classes online. I made my department aware of my delayed interview and pleaded with them to write an extension letter for me to take along to my interview. My department did, and sent me the letter.

Here's how my interview went: (a black male in his early 40s interviewed me)

FALL 2021
NO FUNDING

VO: Hello good morning
Me: (with a smile) Hello, good morning sir, how are you doing today (be as friendly as possible in your greeting, it will help in reducing the anxiety in you)

VO: Pass your documents
Me: (I gave him passport first, then passed my I-20, extension letter, and DS-160)

VO: (as he was collecting the documents) SO why are you going to the US?
Me: I am going there to study. I will be studying my Masters in Public Health at Morgan State University, which is located at Baltimore, Maryland.

VO: I can see from your I-20 that school has resumed
Me: Yes, we resumed two weeks ago, 23rd of Aug. However, i have an extension letter from the school which i have passed to you. I have also begun classes online and I have been actively involved in all class activities. I have also been in frequent communication with the course instructors and they are all aware of my travel delay, i can also show you our conversations (i already printed the email communication between me and my lecturers incase he sked, but he didn't )

VO: So why MSU?
Me: I had the option of 3 schools, New York University, North Carolina University, and Morgan State University. However, my decision to settle with MSU was based on their syllabus. I compared the syllabus of the 3 schools ad I discovered that for NYU and NCU, the ir syllabus is constructed in such a way that at the beginning of the program, the students go right into their areas of specialization, but for MSU, their approach is more holistic and comprehensive. At the beginning of the program, the students do all courses in the 5 core areas on public health, and at second semester, they specialize. I wanted something as comprehensive as that

VO: What will this course do for you?
Me: In the short run, on my return to Nigeria, I will be reabsorbed into my current place of work. I currently work as an assistant health administrator at XYZ hospital, and the management is aware of my plans. They have also agreed to grant me a 2 years study leave. However, in the long run, i have passionately followed the work of several NGOs her in Nigeria. They are doing a great work in the Health Sector her and I have always wanted to be a part of them. The likes of UN, WHO, APIN, E-Health Africa, and many others. I believe that on my return, the certificate and knowledge i would have acquired will give me a leverage and make me more marketable.

VO: I can see you did Geography, so why Public Health
Me: Yes, but my specialization was in Medical Geography

VO: So is Medical Geography same as Public Health?
Me: Yes, it is all about Public Health nd Epidemiology
(at this point, he typed, and I guess to confirm what Medical Geography is on google. He then looked at me and said okay good)
(P.S: if your first degree is not related to what you are going to study now, or the work you are currently doing, look for a way to link it all together. VERY IMPORTANT. I thank God I already prepared for this question)

VO: I can see its a relative that is sponsoring you
Me: Yes, my Uncle

VO: Who is he and what does he do?
Me: He's an established engineer her in Lagos and has his own construction company with over 100 staffs. He is also a Federal Senator (My uncle is a politician, so i made sure i included that)

VO: What is the name of the company? Spell it
ME: A B C D E ( then he kept typing. This man googled the company in my presence then asked me questions)

VO: (looking at the system) where is this company?
Me: it is at XYZ here in Lagos

VO: Good. Anything to show that you and this man are related?
Me: Yes, I have a family photo here with me (though he didn't ask for it)
(Guys, please go prepared!!!)

VO: Why will he be paying this much for your fees?
Me: He has been sponsoring my education since my secondary school and he's just like a father to me.

VO: (began to type oooooooooooooooooo, then he brought out white paper)
VO: I will not be giving your visa now because the extension given by your school is not on your I-20 so...

Me: (i no allow am land o) But i told you i have given you and extension letter from the school and I also registered and resumed classes online and ...

VO: (Him sef no allow me land) Calm down sir, I didn't say I am not approving your visa, see your white paper, I have approved it. However just do one thing. Email your school today, tell them to indicate the extension given to you on your I-20. I will also give you back your passport and this white paper. Once the school has updated it, take the updated I-20 and your passport to our DHL office at XYZ You don't have to come for another interview. Your visa has been approved!!!

Me: (with all manner of Joy and smile): Thank you sir!!!

(So if your department is giving you an extension letter for resumption, contact the International Affairs department of your school, send them the letter your department gave you, and tell them to reflect that extension in the remarks section of the I-20)

Shalom!!! Wish you all THE best!!!

Congratulations!!.

owagbeba:

Valolisa147:
Heeelllllppppp

Pay and fill the ds-160 first (In any order). You would need the ds-160 confirmation number and the visa fee confirmation code to fill the cgi form.

Christabeliciou:
Hello, pls if you don't mind, does one need to cancel the first ds160 filled before you can fill another one, or you just go straight and fill a new ds160 then update the application I'd in the appointment portal and print out, so dat d application I'd corresponds with d new ds160 you filled. Thanks pls

Just retrive the old ds-160 you have already submitted, you would see two options to chose from either "Go to confirmation page" or "Create a new application". Click on create a new application (Take note of the new confirmation number). You can then change whatever information you want to change. (Using this method you don't have to start the application all over, as most of the information you filled are retrieved)

VO: sorry you aren’t qualified for this visa try again
ME: Thank you (I no no come from my mind at all, lol)

Note: I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the university, which is not what I wanted to study. I just opted for it because I was told that Computer Science (which I actuallly wanted to study) was trash in Nigeria, and I should go for a course that I would be able to get a good job with the degree here in Nigeria (I was naive then so I just gave in).

Please guys I need help with corrections. Any and every suggestion is appreciated, Thank you.

Bond4141:
Hello my people. I don't know if not writing any test like GRE, GMAT, IELTS etc will be a red flag Wen I get to embassy.

The two schools I wanted to apply to waived GRE/GMAT and IELTS for me.

I dunno if I should still write any because of this Visa sh**. Abeg make Una no air me o, e dey very urgent

Nah, absolutely not a red flag.
Writing tests is not part of the requirements you need to satisfy to get your visa approved.

Erudite77:
Bro, I heard of two weeks.

I don't know for WIU though.

Please, does that apply to all?

Thanks.

Nope, it doesn't apply to all.
It depends on the school, and you can check the school's website for their admission decision date.

hollar0186zz:
I am interested, how do I contact you?

Well, I have not been added to the Whats App group yet.

Wanderlust18:
If it’s for Abuja. Strictly for Abj dates. Pm me

I just sent you a message. I'm interested.

gidimasters:
What if I’ve done a WES evaluation

Will the new WES report be my official transcript Or irrespective of WES, my school still needs to send a transcript.

Thanks

If WES sends the evaluated result directly to the school it is considered an official transcript.

Viquetohr:
I don't understand. Isn't the trip a flight? Why the need to select a sponsor when I know I am the one paying for the trip? I don't understand.

My opinion tho, I might not be entirely correct.

Viquetohr:
My sponsor is footing my study and living expenses, but I chose "self" for my trip. I don't think I was wrong to have chosen "self".

The person paying for your trip is your sponsor.
You are to put his details there and not yourself.

TUBLEZ:
different dates

You have no problem then.

TUBLEZ:
Can 2 siblings use same statement of account for same school?

Just make sure the both of you are not interviewed by the same person

Kelex062:
Greetings guys.
I am currently in school 300lv studying Mechanical Engineering.
I actually intended to study Computer Science but due to how trash the program is in Nigeria I opted for Mechanical Engineering.
My question is, is it a red flag that I am currently a student here in Nigeria and I am going for an undergraduate program (in Computer Science) in the US?
Thank you.
