Hi Kenhal,

I understand how you feel about your visa refusal and I can totally relate. It may be easy to judge from the whole transcript you wrote here and the I-20 you presented, however, I believe there is much more to it than that. Factors like how confident you were when answering their questions, maintaining eye contact, giving the right information based on what you filled in your DS-160, and much more. Another thing is, did you get a chance to attend mock sessions or ask the intellectuals here to test your level of preparedness before setting out for the interview? Did you practice your response with people and genuinely ask for their input on your performance? Also, did you get help with filling out your application form correctly? These are just a few things I can point out, and I hope you get your approval on your next try.

#Goodluck

Hello,
I didn’t do a mock interview, i looked for ways I could get a contact on here but I couldn’t get any. Also, not many questions were asked except those that I mentioned.
I was really confident and also maintained eye contact with her.

I don’t know what went wrong that’s why I put my I-20 out here maybe someone could point it out and tell me what to do

ednut1:
Your own personal funds is zero, how much do you earn Did you provide evidence of relationship

She didn’t ask for documents, she just said sorry we can’t issue you.

Do I also need to add to my personal funds because I’m working ?

Oblongata:
Sorry about what happened dear! And I salute your courage !!!

I think (I am not certain) that as a student going for masters and also working (possibly reached a mature age) the supposed amount should be in your account.

I’m just 27, if i tell them I’m sponsoring myself, they would want to know how I got the funds. And someone also mentioned that the issue is from my I-20 which I don’t really understand

mayor2013:
Look at your i20. Answers to your questions are in there. You even said it’s your uncle that is sponsoring and you presented family funds as your proof of funds. My brother you complicated your matter

Can you explain this more?
I don’t understand but I thought if my uncle is sponsoring me, I should have it under my family fund.
Can you please explain better

That’s the thing, I don’t know how the school came up with $68,000. When the sponsored amount I submitted isn’t upto that.

Hello everyone,

I had my interview today at US Lagos embassy and my visa was denied instantly without asking questions.

The transcript went like this:
VO: (immediately she saw my I-20) who’s sponsoring you?
Me: My uncle, he’s the CEO of …. They manufacture window blinds and aluminum windows for government and non government entities
VO: what do you do?
Me: I work as a business development executive with so so company.
VO: how much do you earn?
Me: I earn so so amount

VO: I’m sorry we can’t issue your visa

I was like dumbfounded because she didn’t ask about school and all that.

What did I do wrong?

Before the interview started, the person I did my finger print was already like “my passport photo is more than 6 months, bring a new passport when next you come” like she already knew I was going to be denied. Mind you, I took the passport photograph in April and I filled ds-160 in August/September

I also attached my I-20 to this comment, please view it and revert back what could go wrong.

I’m also trying to get in contact with Lagosismyhome. If you see this, kindly drop a contact I can reach you on.

Thank you as I will be waiting for everyone response
