Hi guys

Please what documents will I need to hold for this trip aside their passports and i20, I also have an affidavit signed by my husband.
Do I need any kind of letter from their schools?

Also they have had their visas for over 5months months, does it matter that I'm getting them now?

Yes Frankfurt is very safe, my friend traveled via the route last month.

Thank you

Firefox01:
Take it. What else do you want? A flight with no stopovers?

I meant is Frankfurt safe as per the European countries we were warned not to transit through

Hi guys, I just got a good flight deal on Lufthansa but we will stopover at Frankfurt.

What do you think?

Vahn:

Thank you.

Input the new ds 160 number via update profile on chi page

[quote author=ICFinvestor1 post=104512300][/quote]

Have you tried applying for Energency Appointment.
I guess you have used of your scheduling options I would have advised you try Abuja.

If none of this works.
Defer to Spring and secure a favorable date for spring.

I really have no idea of number or mails to send message to.

The form for EA is on the visa appointment portal.
Just make sure to attach the neccessary docs.

Wish you all the best

Stella91:
Thank you so much. I had my Masters in the US in 2019 and then I had just 2 kids but I have the 3rd one now and was just thinking if it will be different.
My husband will join me for the interview but will be getting a b1/b2 since he will be visiting because of work.

B1/b2 is just great. You will get that visa.
If you are going for PhD that's even more super.
If its funded abeg start checking flight ticket.

Congrats in advance.

Are you going to Virginia, I hope so. Let's rent a family home togther... lol

Hi guys,

I appreciate your responses to my past queries.

I had my Interview in Abuja on Monday, F1 and two F2
I got SMS yesterday that passport is ready for pickup but the passport number quoted was just one not three. The one is one of the F2.

Now should I wait to get other sms or is it possible all three are there.

Stella91:
Hi, congratulations on your visa. I'm planning on going with my 3 kids to the embassy as well for my student visa, do you have any tips or advise?

Ofcourse.

No 1. Any deficit or additional costs ....husband is better as your sponsor.

Have a school in mind for them you have researched incase.

Why is your husband not joining you ?

Do you have some funding?

Career progression is also good.

Muleriders:


Yes it is legal but could be stressful and fun at the same time.

If I was alone I would but cos of the kids let me keep searching for cheaper fare

Guys the rate I am getting to fly to Virginia is really crazy o. Like 4m for me and 2kids.
I no understand o.
Is it legal to fly to the nearest/cheapest airport and finish up with train?

Malone122:
wow did the story Partain your own reasons you think you was denied
For instance
I was home ties : then you explained how you have home ties
Travel history - you explained why you haven’t traveled
Etc
Wow 3 paragraphs

Yes check my transcript.
Told em I believed it was hometies and talked about my family and membership to professional body

Please guys, what's the recent timeless for receiving passports from Abuja to Lagos.
Also how will I be notified?

Hyfeseyi:
Please how did you answer this question on ds -160 if you have been denied under section 214b before?

Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?

Laworldz:
Congratulations ❤️❤️
Does that mean that one can explain why he or she thinks he was denied. It looks like they read it and compare to remarks from visa officers? That means one can explain any misunderstanding there right?

Either you write 214b reasons or write what you believed caused it and how you have corrected it.
Use it as opportunity to explain yourself.
Try not to sound like you think the previous VO was wrong.
Be smart in your usage of words.

If you no fit, use option A

Malone122:
a simple yes is fine don’t write stories

I wrote stories, 3 paragraphs long.

larkson:



You are spot on!

The average monthly salary for my current role in the US is btw 6-7k monthly. That is about N3m in Nigerian currency: my LinkedIn profile couldn’t have been the problem. I detailed my job and employment history (from 2009 till date- my past employers, role and responsibilities ) as it is on my CV and LinkedIn while completing my DS 160:

Recently, my current employer was quoted on NSE and my name was submitted to the capital market through the equity firm. So, if he had googled my name, he would have found very interesting stuffs about my profile.

But, I guess yesterday was not just my day. I am going to reapply.

When next you are filling ur ds... use the space of reasons for denial to explain that travel stuff.

Eg I believe I was denied based on a mix up with my travel history.
Give detailed explanation of what u filled due to the 5years history and the VO direct question which didn't specify 5years hence the discrepancy in your response.

Honesty will get you the visa.

Malone122:
congratulations to you
Please if you don’t mind I need you to clarify some points did you write the whole reason “you thought “ why your past application was refused only?

As well as solution to how you to have home ties
Please I’ll be needing some clarifications on this I have mailed you already.. so I can pick one or two important Info and apply it for my sisters app
Best regards congrats once again

Yes I wrote all of that you saw in bracket.

Me: Good morning Sir,
VO: (Sighted us) wow goodmorning . Have you been to the US before?
Me: No sir
VO: First time
ME: Yes Sir
VO: So where are you going to....
Me: I'm going to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for me their Master of Accounting and Information Systems program.

VO: Has your husband gotten his visa
Me: No sir, he is engaged with his business but will visit us at least once when he can

VO: Have you been here before
Me: Yes Sir, Lagos
VO: When
Me: November last year
VO: Same program
Same program: Yes sir

( At this point I believe he was reading where I wrote three paragraphs under reason for denial, I used this space to explain that it was due to home tie cos I believed leaving my parents date of birth blank affected me but I truly do not have their date of birth information as I lost them both in my teens and have no document containing their date of birth. Also I am married with kids and have all my sisters brothers cousins nephews and nieces here in Nigeria. Also I am a member of ICAN which is my professional family)

VO: How did you hear about this school or was it program (not sure which)
Me: My colleague first mentioned Virginia tech to me and upon further research I found out about the MADA certificate that I will receive in addition to my Master of Accounting and Information Systems Certificate without extending my program duration. I also connected with my program coordinator, Professor Nadia Rogers who also told me more about the program
Have you started classes
No sir but I have registered courses I will be taking this fall

VO: How are you funding this?
My GA and scholarship together cover about 80percent of my program cost

VO: Who is paying for the deficit
Me: My husband
VO: What does he do
Me: He is into the sales of electronics, computers and accessories
VO: How long do you expect your program to last
Me: 2years
Vo: Did you apply to any other school
Me: Yes sir also applied and got admitted to Kansas State university
VO: When is your program start date.
Me: My class starts 23rd August
VO: What was your most recent degree?
ME: I have Bachelor degree in Accounting and also just completed my ICAN exams and got induction May this year.

He said I should fly past some countries in Europe cos of covid

Hurdles I faced included taking passport for 4k cos me and one of my boys had the wrong passport photographs. No ears ...lol

Also I didn't go with my old passport. Explained its cos I wasn't asked for it during my first application in Lagos and it's also virgin passport.
I prayed for God to touch her heart and let the lady checking know it's way back in Lagos. We came all that way.
She let us through but please learn from this and go with yours.

Also of you have been denied before, stay through to your previous answers. If you must adjust your answers, expantiate on it instead.

I'm just happy to be out of this stage of life for now and go get that masters degree.

Best of luck and if your heart say yes...never give up.

Visa approved Abuja.
Canada study visa denied July 2020 (Apploed alone)
US study visa denied in Lagos November 2020 ( Applied alone)

Ilsontof:
Hello guys. I have a quick question. How does one view the submitted information on the ds-160 form. I just one to cross check and verify if i put in the right info in a delicate section. Is it possible and advisable to use the existing application number to create a new application for the ds-160 just to check and review some information without submitting? Will this affect the already submitted data somehow. Pls I’d appreciate any help on this. I just want to view and cross check info on the ds160 website for an already submitted application and i have already booked my appointment

Ofcourse you can, but not all fields will be repopulated.
Hopefully you find what you seek.

Paulcnp89:



Its actually on the 12th of August. How do I update it

Go to cgifederal appointment page...
Click on update profile.
Edit ds 160 number to the new one

Paulcnp89:
Happy new month.

Please I need an advise. I made an error while filling my D 160 form. I enormously filled the university name as the person sponsoring my trip and I have submitted. Is there anything that can be done. My interview is this week.

Kindly advise

What day this week? If it's after Wednesday, you can still fill a new ds form today, and update ur new confirmation number on appointment portal.
Print the new ds and appoint letter.
But if ur appointment is Monday or Tuesday , even Wednesday is risky...but u can still tiak Wednesday
