Thanks for this ma. I can't be happy with the fact that others are being denied. I have been there twice, during my first application B1/B2 and also when I took my daughter. I have never seen so much crowd like I saw today.
At a point, I was also scared of being directed to her counter.
I was just surprised at rate at which that particular woman denied so many, even with so much crowd.

This has happened in the past and it was fine ... your ds160 should match your i20 dates . So in this case 3 years however

If you are ask how long is your program then you say 2 years but then explain what you stated above .... this is not unique to you so VO should be aware and I have seen this posted within the last 2 years a couple of times

Someone should please help with this. I recently got admitted to a University in Indiana for MBA which is a two year program. When I got my I-20, I discovered the programme end date was August 2021, instead of August 2020. I sent a mail to the school and they responded saying sometimes the programme exceeds two years when prerequisites are involved and also to give me enough time to prepare to leave the U.S when the programme is completed.
Please won't this look like a part time programme to the Consular ?
Should I tell the school to change it ?

Good afternoon everyone. please, Is there anyone who can shed more light on how to fill the details for recipients for WES evaluation. After adding recipients , I noticed it showed that it would be sent electronically to the institutions. Is that the normal way it is being sent to the institutions?

My husband and I applied for a visit visa in 2015 and we used the visa this year. Now am trying to renew mine alone since he is on his MBA in another country. I was asked if I have ten printed, but I cannot remember, if it was only my husband that ten printed or the two of us. Please what do I do?

Hubby&I got visit visa June 2015, we did not use it.Gave birth In Naija 2016. I applied for my daughter Nov last year.Hubby is busy wit his post graduate program in anoda country, so my daughter and I traveled to US(Indiana) April 15th, but came in thru Chicago.

2nd CBP: Oh u are here for a wedding, I caught you (jokingly) . U speak good English . I don't need to go further, u are a pretty lady. Am giving you 6 months (Oct 19th) Enjoy ur stay.

All those questions were very brief(looked like we just gisting) and we were right on time for the connecting flight to Indiana

Am still wondering why I was still given 6 months while my visa would expire July 5th. Don't think it matters anyway, cos we wud return in 2weeks
