Feexo: @Babsharon, Could you send me the letter of support to sordicafis@yahoo.com? Others, what does transcript evaluation entail? At what point am I gonna need/do it? I came out with 2.9 GPA and I want to know how it will affect my GPA. I am preparing for fall 2014.Evaluation entails coversion of our GPA standard (5.00 or 7.00) to American standard (4.00). You will need to check with your school if it's a requirement to get your GPA evaluated; if that's your case, you will need to have your transcript sent to WES or other recognised evaluation agencies. The schools I applied didn't ask for the evaluation, so I sent my transcript directly from my school to the US. About your CGPA, it's kinda low and that might inhibit you in making choice of schools. However, google is your friend. Complement the low GPA with good GRE scores, working experiences and certifications in pertinent discipline. All da best. |

fidelia.john:Guess your are someone like me that also read indians' visa interview. There you get acquainted with words like 'Percentage', 'Backlog' and 'loan sanction' etc. #lol Anyway, that isn't applicable to our educational system. If such question will be asked which I doubt considering past visa interviews, it will be your cgpa. Hope this helps... #wink |

wabi_wabi_91: They shouldn't have released you. You should have stayed there for as long as the Nigeria Police Force keep many poor souls behind bars for crimes that they didn't commit.It's really disheartening the way some people just open their mouth and talk. Someone came up with his sponsor's details and how it's gonna affect his chances of getting visa, just for you to be saying rubbish abt his Father. I question your upbringing. SMH. Is his Father an Arm-Robber, Smuggler or into hard Drugs biz that he will be ashamed to say it in public? If you have scores to settle with some police men, then do that somewhere else and don't come here venting your spleen. In my opinion, you need to tender an apology to him. You have just hit below the belt. @Amefrica: it's good to hear that your Dad has other businesses and sure it will prove He has more souces of income. However, hope you have documents to back up your claim? |

FIZIK: Has nybody here profiled for internet banking in GTbank been able to pay for visa fee online without visiting the bank. It isn't working for me and I profiled all my accounts wit them. i have their token too.Please shed more light on the online payment for visa fee. Why not save yourself the worries and go to a nearby GTBank. Remember you will be issued a MRV receipt stapled with a deposit slip which are required at the embassy. |

eucharia64: Can a submitted ds form still be accessed online? i cannot recall what i filled for my sponsor if it was brother or uncle. Can anyone remember if their is any thing like brother on d ds form? Better still can anyone recall the options for sponsor on the ds form? If yes please spell it outDon't fret. I don't think there's a part that asks for sponsor on the ds-160 form. The only question that's close to it is where you are asked the name of the person that will paying for your flight. Or is this what many consider as the sponsor? I stand to be corrected. |

babsharon: Yeah but u must perfect that when filling ur ds-160 .Please o... What do you mean by perfecting it on her ds-160? How does she do that anyway? Is there any place on the ds-160 where you state your sponsor? Afaik, nothing is gonna change on her ds-160. If her I-20 form shows family funding, she's to say it orally that He's her brother/Uncle in her next interview. Lol @De Tus. You be real comedian. That's not the P jhor. She's not even expected to stay for 5 years without coming home @ least for renewal of visa. |

nomso27: No@fittty. . . . .there must be an order so i heard. . . .because the servis payment nomba is needed in filling the ds-160 form. . . . .help who knw hw ?@Nomso27: There is actually no particular order. You decide how you want it but will advise you do both simultaneously. To clear your doubt or misunderstanding, what's needed to fill your ds-160 form is just your sevis ID showing on your I-20 and that same id/no is required while making payment for your sevis I-901. The sevis payment can be made at the neigbouring country seme or preferably, you ask a relative/friend abroad to pay it for you. It costs $200. You take a decision and the house will expatiate on it. Story planti... You can start filling your ds-160 form now and it isn't mandatory you fill it once, you can always log in and out but within 30 days. My candid advice: make a MRV payment of 26,400 at any GTBank branch and proceed to the appointment website http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ to book an appointment since I expect u to have generated an application ID (from your ds-160), one of the requisites for booking...

tinuowo: but I av already booked my appointment. Is't that I should fill another ds-160 b4 the interview date cos of this mistake?Yeah sure do. You can fill as many ds-160 as possible, just ensure you update your application ID on the appointment site to the recent one you will be taking to the embassy. |

Morris: @lisadem,Don't mention. I can't guarantee you would get a date at the last week of this month. Only July dates were opened in Lagos and Abuja embassy according to recent posts on this thread. You can only hope that someone drops his appointment and you are online at that time to get the date. #possibility very slim# Just keep searching but I would advise you go for any ealiest date in July if still opened. To answer your second question, the online printout is also tenable if you don't get the original receipt b4 your VI day . |

Don't get yourself worked up if you think you are being alleged falsely, you shall reap the fruits of your labour. Perhaps you should be more plain in your dealings and not give room for people to be castigating you. I know how it feels when you mean good and being alleged falsely.

oduslamy: Please would d vo know that an individual once participated in the visa lottery?Worry less about this lottery of a thing and concentrate more on what will make you stand a chance not to be doubted. The VO doesn't have the luxury of time to be checking if you have once applied for it or not but if you appear unconvincing, they have different ways of denying people. Such question might just pop up and your behavioural pattern while answering it might compel him/her to delve into it. All in all, the VO can know but still needs your details... All da best |

After the VO asked him about his travel history and he mentioned US without any rule violation, his visa was approved immediately without even checking any documents.

GboyegaD: I guess it does. Can't remember right now.I don't think there is a question like that. A close question as it appears on the ds-160 is this, "Have you ever used other names (i.e., maiden, religious, professional, alias, etc.)?" This I think is only applicable to people that have done change of name, say a married woman etc. You have any contrary opinion? @Gboyega |

GboyegaD: Does he have to explain all that? If I were a VO, I can add to his confussion if he isn't sure since I have his mom's maiden name on my system, I would ask him for a family tree so quick and trust me, he will likely miss it. I think they know our culture is that of family ties as such, we have too many relatives thus, they don't need to ask details.@Gboyega. I don't get your point. Is there a place where mom's maiden name is provided on the ds-160? Pls clarify. |
