bigfrancis21: No, you don't need a new I20. The truth is that you applied quite late for your visa. You should have applied earlier or even used the emergency date option to get a much earlier date this month or late last month. And even with your late visa appointment, you should have written to your school asking for an extension which you would have then printed and taken to the embassy to support your case.

Your interview went very well. You were only denied because of the coincidence of your school's resumption date with your supposed passport pick up date. Which meant that you were planning to travel a few days after your school's resumption date. And according to the woman, you're likely to be denied at the POE for late resumption, except if you had an extension grant from your school which is important.

Can I still use the emergency option to re-apply since I didn't use it at first?
Not sure. Needless question.

One VO at counter 7, the only guy there denies visa as if he is Obama.
I don't know why men are that hardened.

bigfrancis21: @LentyWilly...on a second thought. Did she really deny you? Did she hand you the denial paper?

I have the paper here written "Dear applicant this is to inform you that you hve been found ineligible for a non immigrant visa under section 214(b) bla bla bla.....

My big question here is that do I need a new I-20 to re-apply? Because the I-20 I have here still has the 12th August. #sad#

Post some comments once in a blue moon.
My Interview was today at the Abuja Embassy.
Interviewed by a lady on Counter 9... She was s☺ nice, she even gave Visa to a guy that didn't know the state his school was located.
But I was denied anyway by her reasons she stated.
Here is how my interview went.

Me: My course Advicer was an alumni of the school and he told me much about the school how friendly and willing the professors are and it has a good curriculum and security system.
VO: Go on.... (She keeps typing)
Me: I checked it out on Usnews it was ranked highest in midwest regional universities.
VO: Great. S☺ when did you finish your secondary school.
