Me goodmorning
Vo Goodmorning

Vo How many School did you applied to?
Me Four Schools, as I was about stating them ?
She moved to the next question

Vo Why are you going to the US?
Me I am going to the US for my Masters degree in Information Technology at WUST.
I picked this school for my course because ….she didn’t allow me finish up

Vo What did you studied at first degree?
I didn’t hear clearly, I have to adjust and asked her to repeat the question?
So she repeated herself
Me I studied Biochem at my first degree. So I went further explaining why I am going for MSIT like relating it to my work place and relating it to a senior vacant position which requires this cert to be qualified for that position and stated my boss nominated and supported me to go for the program…
BUT honestly she didn’t listen from the way I was looking at her and she didn’t even look at me…

At this point was nervous
Vo who is spons my programme
I spitted uncle to gain her attention
Brother in my i20
She looked up at me Uncle or Brother
Me: I said Boldly Brother stated his “Name” I have his statement of Acct but she didn’t ask for it and I started telling her what he’s into. Businessman, owns a warehouse, Top distributor of …..
Top distributor of …..
Has two big hotels at so so so state

She just denied person…
So sad


She didn’t listen or like she wanna quickly leave for lunch coz other two VOs left her there

Pple just dey queue
First VO at window 8 that left only gave to 2 pple I saw
One woman with 3 kids
Visa wey we suppose share

The second VO that left
I no see am give anyone o at window 5

I think they are cheating them from somewhere to approve and deny person visa.
That was what I observed

For no reason
Been depressed since!!!
Can’t get it off my head
First two appearances B1/B2
3rd appearance
This people just wanna kpai Man
Maybe by then men go rest
Naso I dey look person wey dey tell me there say date na money this days…
Headache want kill men now…


She didn’t even ask any doc
Did like 3 IT coursera course
And some other 7 to 8 Coursera courses
Print out of Title page of my published peered review journal in Molecular

Those behind the way they conduct this thg should call for a review on how they do this thing.
sorry for your denial.
But the only issue I have is with all your saying after ur transcript. I understand that you are upset abt the delay but If she had approved you, you would not say all this i.e " I think they are cheating them from somewhere to approve and deny person visa."
That was what I observed " No give up Try again and get a more standard profile . If there is one thing Abt US embassy is they will never ask to see ur docs, only select docs they will want to see like scholarship letter etc but aside from that you have to sell yourself well to the VO. Goodluck on ur futre attempt.

First attempt
Lagos embassy
Visa Denied
COA:$17,000
No funding
Masters of public Administration

VO: (A White young lady) Good morning, pass me your passport and I-20.
ME: Good morning ma, passed it to her

VO: How many schools did you apply to??
ME: I applied to two schools, Morgan state university and Murray State University.

VO:Why did you choose Murray state university??
ME: A colleague of mine did his MBA at Murray State University and recommended the school to me. Also, Public and community health program is broad in its orientation and allows students to address topics ranging from narrative approaches to understanding health counselling, health behavior, environmental health and strategies used to implements health interventions which align with my career goal.The school was also ranked among 2023 Best Graduate school for Masters of public Administration by U.S news and world report.

VO: I see you have no funding, who is paying for this??
ME: My husband will be my sponsor

VO: What does your husband do?
ME: He is a medical doctor at Federal Medical center, ABK. He also supplies medical equipments such as electrosurgery, pulse oximetry,orthoscope, microscope and so on.

VO: How much does he earn??
ME: He earns #600,000

VO: Does your husband has this $17,000 in his account??
ME:Yes he has it

VO: Sorry, you are not qualified

What actually went wrong??
I watched slots of YouTube video s that says "do not show the VO documents unless you are asked to". I was expecting her to ask for my proof of funds but she didn't. I should have indicated that my husband earns #600,000 monthly.
I need your suggestions house.
Next time include that you also have savings of x amount that you have saved up from working for X number years , that way it shows that na you want this masters and you have been saving towards it cos its your goal to move ahead and get better work oppurtunities and good salary when u return to Nigeria. Just dumping 17k dolls on ur husband alone looks weird. I dunno if you get me.

Hello Japaites. Please I need advice. I omitted a lot of stuff when filling my DS160 for my first interview. Now that I'm going again I'm thinking of including all. Problem is that my work experience doesn't show a career progression. For instance I switched from Data science to interior design and so on (thanks to the naija job market). What I'll like to know is if the VO will have access to my former DS160 to see what I submitted during my first interview. Thank y'all for your advice in advance 🙏🏾

TravelRe: Helpful Tips For All International Students Coming To Study In America... by krcboy(m): 9:19pm On Jul 26, 2023
Papilagreen:
Sure thing I go ride on today I go tell una why u need to make sure u take all your vaccinations before you leave 9ja for USA.

I learned the hard way so I decide to shear this with you because experience they say is the best teacher.

Okay so before you leave Nigeria for America, make sure I repeat make sure you take all your vaccinations ooo i.e yellow fever, chicken purse, titanus etc.



Most people only know about the yellow fever vaccine where you get the yellowbook to aid you board the plane for your flight. No it doesn't stop there. Before you leave Nigeria and come here, try and get ur updated medical vaccine and record.
When u come here u must do medical check up either to do medical exams for school sports or physical or for your medical exams for your permanent residency,
They must request for your medical result and if you don't show your update medical result, you will have to go do medical test and take new vaccination shots for all of them and it will cost you more than you will every imagine.

To sum it up in Nigeria to do that vaccinations will not cost you more than 20 thousand naira from a registered hospital and get your updated medical records OR, if you decide to come here before you decide on getting your vaccinations, it will cost you a minimum of $700 to $1200 depending on the state you live so please get yourself updated before you leave...

Hello house,

I have been following this thread for a while now and have learnt a lot thanks to you guys who keep answering questions and giving your bright ideas.

Pls I have a serious concern.
My sister Inlaw is in USA on F1 visa last year meant to finish this year and my sponsor is her husband whom is my brother, also I put her US address as my landing address when I enter USA. Now I have two concerns:

1). Since her husband is my Sponsor, should I declare that I have a relation in USA on my DS 160 form or not??

2). Will my sponsor or the address info link me to her and show the VO that I actually have a relation in the USA if I say no(cos that’s what I really want to do)??
I appreciate your responses 🙏🏾
Why not use ur school address as ur "landing address"?

Love800:
I dont understand dis ur write-up. Pls can u elaborate more on it?
When you give vague answers you are not passing i formation , so in this case saying "im going to the USA to study" provides no new information because Obviously the visa officers knows you going for a student visa when you apply for an F1visa , unlike the other answer that i said , that one covers the university, the program im intending to major and where my school is located. In summary Visa officers hate one word answer. Go and search Argo Visa on youtube and watch.

Please, i need assistance. I am to resume for the fall semester on August 14th but the interview date I have is 30th August. I am considering deferring to spring which my school has also suggested to me but my fear is the vo denying me because it's too early for the nxt yr spring semester or wanting me to reapply again because this is my second Attempt in Lagos
you can have your interview as far as a year to your program start date. what I mean is that there no
such thing as you are too early for next year spring. My friend had his interview in march and he is going for spring 2023.

Hello everyone, my interview is on Aug 3 and I have just two questions.
- I’ve seen so many transcript here so I would like to ask, for the people that got approved, did you submit all documents and left with none or did you submit just passport and I-20 and left with other documents?
- After getting approved how many days did it take for your passport or any other documents to be returned?
My program start date is August 11 and I just want to know if I’ll get my passport and other documents back before that date.

If you don’t have answers to the above questions but you have any helpful insights regarding any part of the F-1 Visa interview, PLEASE DO QUOTE THIS POST.
Thank you and Goodluck to everyone.🤝🏾
when approved, the consular will only keep your passport , i20 and other docs will be given back to you as well as the white paper that guides you on how to get ur passport back(dont loose the white paper)
it takes 3-5days at most 7 days to get ur passport back (an email will be sent to u when its ready for pickup) you will most likely not meet up befr start date, so best email your school for an extension of start date. Good luck in ur interview.

Cos u haven't been to the US, no family member there, and u are visiting a student...


All attributes points you won't be coming bk and will possibly be an overstay.

If ur father earns 50m annually, u won't be visiting a student but instead he should get u a PR elsewhere for a start..They are trained to detect lies easily...

If u go there again and change ur mouth from this lies you kept in their records, oyo is ur name.

Goodluck next time.
if you read clearly its a student visa not a visit visa Hence why he or she was asked her post graduate plans.
