When did you meet?
F2 applicant: We met in 2019, we were in final year in school.

the answer you gave was good but not well given . You have to add some romantic answers to it , that will make him or her feel there where there . You gave a very short answer .

this should be helpful , if you develop on it .

Option 1: A Serendipitous Encounter

"We first crossed paths in the bustling hallways of [University Name] during our final year. It was a chance encounter, a fleeting moment that sparked a connection that has only grown stronger with time."

Option 2: A Shared Passion

"Our journey together began in 2019, united by our shared passion for [shared interest, e.g., books, music, a specific course]. We would often spend hours discussing our dreams and aspirations, and it was during these conversations that our love blossomed."


SENCONDLY

VO: So why aren’t you applying for a visiting visa B1 B2
F2 applicant: I applied for F2 since my husband holds an F1…..

This answer is short ,

you have to make some changes like ,

"I initially applied for an F-2 visa because I misunderstood the specific visa requirements for my intended visit. I was not aware that a B1/B2 visa would be more suitable for my purpose, which is to [state your purpose, e.g., visit my husband, attend a conference, or travel for tourism]. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and am now aware of the correct visa category for my trip."


:[/b] (Proceeds to have a long conversation with two other VOs)
How long would you be there for?
F2 applicant: An return to my ……

In you had a window to win this , before communicating with the next officer.

you answers ae so short ,

V.O:[/b] (Cuts conversation off while typing and focusing on her screen)…Since you’d spent a month, why are you not applying for a visiting visa? How am I supposed to believe you’d return?
F2 applicant: I have a growing career and a business to return to. We recently acquired a piece of land to start building our future home. I will be supervising the building project, and I have the land documents here….


please modify this answer for your B1 B2 VISA


my own suggestion answer will be ,
"I understand your concern, Officer. While I initially applied for an F-2 visa, I now realize a B1/B2 visa would be more appropriate for my intended visit.

I'm a dedicated professional with a promising career in [Your Profession] at [Your Company]. Additionally, I'm actively involved in [Personal Project or Hobby]. These strong ties to my home country, coupled with my commitment to my future plans, assure you of my intention to return upon completion of my visit."

I HOPE THIS HELP U

Hello I am a new member of this forum. I recently graduated from UNN with a GPA in 3.4 in Pure and Industrial Chemistry and I am interested in applying for my PhD in Chemistry for Fall 2025. I am preparing to take the GRE test and also searching for some schools online but I am open to receiving any recommendations for schools that offer funding for PhD in Chemistry for Fall 2025. Thank you so much.

Hello.

1. Pre-approval request should not take too long to be approved for F1 visa applicant because the embassy are aware of your resumption dates.

2. However, majority of the F1 visa applicants are making the initial appointment booking processing error. I will recommend you follow the following guidelines in order to avoid a longer or permanent pending pre approval request:

3. If possible , walk in to First bank to make MRV payment physically instead of other payment options. (This does not mean that other options are not valid).

4. Fill the visa application (Ds 160) first and completely submitted before you proceed to avits profile for appointment requests.

5. In the Question, Do you have a specific travel plans (in your Ds 160) , Answer Yes .

6. Print your Form I 20 and sign it before uploading it to your avits profile .

7. Be certain to have paid SEVIS fee with Evidence to show.

Any F1 visa applicant who have completed the stated task is the bonafide F1 visa applicant that will be taken serious.

* Cancel your pending request if you are not too certain of the above and reapply.

Lovequee:
It's Lagos
But mine is pending pre-approval request
Do you mean I should use the format you send and attach my visa receipt because I'm yet to get an appointment if my pre-approval request has not been approved

Lovequee:
It's been same here too. Abuja or Lagos?

Use this, if it's for Lagos
