Thanks for your timely reply. I base in Germany and I will be having my interview here in Germany. I can't see any forum where I can get the transcript of people that have gone through the same route with me. If you have any, I don't mind getting it from you. Thanks yiu once more

Try YouTube. If you didn’t get Germany own, you can use that of another European country as case study. Like, I once has a person that did hers in Ukraine, she lemme know how her and the interview there do last for more mins unlike the just 2-5mins here in 9ja. Just try do more search and work with that. It’s even more good you’ve idea about how ours is here, so more and adequate preparation for you.

Like I said then, elaborate more on HOW THE USA OFFER is MORE BETTER THAN GERMANY own, you can even add language ‘barrier’ to let your points sell more to them, if you’re funded, include it, “Aside the fact that I am fully funded, . . .”
But be more of your career goals and how USA degree is well recognize and accepted here (9ja) by major employe(es/ers)

Luck!

sbot:
Can someone help with affordable flight to the USA, please?

Possibly if there’re any discount(s) too.

Would appreciate the pricing too.

Thank you.

Just go directly to the airline 9ja offices. If you’re in Abuja and/or Lagos. That’s the best bet.

Happy Sunday brethren. I have asked countless questions for clarifications but got no reply. I plead someone answers me this time around.
I base abroad as a Master's student and I just started my first semester before I got an Admission to studying MBA in one of the schools in the USA. The Master's I am doing here is not in my best interest and I need to drop and go for the US MBA , where I have more prospects. I am at lost on what defense I should give to the VO when asked why am living my present studies to the one in US. I have a work here also which the company is standing as my Affidavit of support. The Company is expanding to Nigeria where I will take up a Managerial position after my MBA, and that is one of the reasons I am going for the MBA instead of continuing the present studies. Please I need a helpful advice from anyone who can � �.

Which country are you currently? Reason I asked is that, there’s different ways VO ask questions (it is base on the country you’re being interviewed in), so check past transcripts from folks that have been interviewed there before, Don’t use Lag and Abuja to judge or to prepare. From there you would see similar case.

Overall, you would let the VO know how USA is this and that (pros); una addition you got a better offer that aligns more with your career goals (long and short term).

Goodluck!

Hello Gurus in the house. What advise do you have for someone that is above 40 years that just want to start this journey of Msc in USA. What are his chances of succeeding from getting admission to applying for visa an also completing the program.

Thanks

In the school application and admission process, AGE isn’t stopping anything, NOTHING. So, telling you that you’d get admitted with any age so far you meet the school(s) application requirements.

It’s just during the embassy interview you’d have to explain yourself, what you’ve been doing since your last degree till now. So far you’ve a packaged genuine reason, you are good. Reasons, like you’ve been working and saving for this Msc journey, it’s now you needed the Msc degree and co.

You would be fine.

mojolajesu:
Please how long does it take to get your passport if your visa was approved in Abuja but your delivery is Lagos.

Help please!!!

Mostly, 3 working days.

Don’t forget yesterday (16th of Jan) was public holiday to them, so minus that day.

3 working days sha. Don’t forget to keep checking your portal for update.

Shalom!

Chocolatecakes:
Pls I'm going for my interview tomorrow, can some help me out?

With what?? You don’t have time for you to not speak out on what you need help on. You don’t have wait for someone to ask you out, kindly speak out!!!

Goodluck!!

Princesspearl11:
Good morning guys. Please I have a question.
For an emergency visa appointment, is it possible to get your Visa issued on the same day if approved?
Like if you are expected to be in school 4days after your interview.

Lol. No na!

After your visa approval. It would take like 3 working days before you get back your passport (depends on your collection location).

You’ve this and that (Vaccine and co) to do, etc!

Just carry your school along your possible late resumption, let them know the delays and your plans, to avoid stories that touch.

Goodluck!

bnad:
Does anyone knows if it is possible to resume one week or two weeks after the resumption date?

It depends on the and your school. Anything late resumption, carry your school along to avoid story that touch. Carry them along with proof.

Luck!

phemorhino:

What of my sister that is a US citizen. Became a citizen through K1 visa. Is it also a gamble?
Also note, i was denied b1/b2 in 2016 while i stated i was going to her place for vacation. Ive never applied again sha

Oh! You already stated her on your last database. Since consistency is one of the key in this journey, you’ve to keep it at that pace, that you have someone there. Unless, she’s not your immediate relative (maybe not same surname), then you can easily remove her from the picture.
To my own understanding, K1 visa route isn’t still that strong for a VO to not think the person came in ‘illegally’, they believe and on paper that it’s VISA LOTTERY that’s the only means why ‘you’ should be in USA up till now.

PS: Hope the school you’re applying for and to ain’t in same state/city with her own? Easily Red Flag, so avoid!


My 2cent!


Luck.

hopefulmindhdd:

What of an uncle that went way back in the '70s?

Via VISA LOTTERY? If yes, safe! If not, I doubt it ‘safety’.

Not that it’s not possible oh, but it’s like gamble, you can go through or not. You get??

Soulvein:
So someone whose sister works as a professor in the USA cannot use his sister as a sponsor? This is quite absurd.

Maybe; Maybe NOT.

Firstly; how did the said SISTER entered USA?? If it’s VISA LOTTERY then that’s safe (Because that’s the only legal way immigrants were legally allowed in to STAY permanently then).
If not, just don’t bother to complicate things for the ‘two both of you’. Lol

Imagine she entered via F1 route, and we know the main purpose of Visa interview is to let them know we’re coming back to our home country after study, now she stayed back and possibly get her papers (which is against her ‘promise’ during the interview). Now, somebody RELATED to her ‘you’ wants to come via same route (even if not same route), won’t she advise ‘you’ to also stay back?? Which they don’t want!

My 2cent.

Shalom!!!

Oyinade98:



Hello, does this mean that if I get my admission now for July/August resumption, I should wait till around may/June before filling the DS-160 form?

Yeah.

After admission - you collect your i20 - pay for SEVIS - fill ds160 - pay for interview - start looking out for dates - then interview

Canada2021:
Bro thanks for your response. By mostly do you mean I should reduce the number of relatives I state in the ds160 or I say I don't have entirely

You don’t have any there at all, is the best bet.

Viwi:
Can you please hook me up too? I am also 17

Thank you sir

Ok. KINDLY DM Me.

hopefulmindhdd:

Yeah I'm under 23, I will just clock 17 this May.
Yes I do know the requirements , WAEC, SAT and TOEFL although "I might " write the ACT as well. I've checked the requirements , surprisingly a school requested for my jss3 BECE results.
Sorry for my vagueness what I actually wanted to ask is akin to what someone posted here not too long ago about the ds160 that would him saying he's being admitted into a tertiary institution here in Nigeria be advantageous or disadvantageous to him.
I hope I'm clearer now than before.
Thanks for your response sir.

Kindly drop me your email or DM Me, lemme ‘hook you up’ with a younger one there also on undergraduate level, in your age bracket. To mentor you.

Luck!

gbarinze:
Hi guys,

My program starts in August. Is it safe to apply for Visa now?

Again, can I fill out and submit the DS-160 before paying for the Visa fee?

Help please.

Please, kick search your INTERVIEW DATE search now and try get a date in the bracket of 60days before your August resumption. PLEASE!

You should fill your DS160 within 1month of your Interview date. You need some info on the Ds160 to complete the visa date page, so you fill both hand-in-hand and can submit this or that before that and this.

Shalom!

Jjsilver:
Good evening to u all.
Please I'm new here...
Looking for school that gives scholarships to students that have second class lower division.
Pls I need the list of these schools
Wll be happy fr quick response
Thanks

Sincerely, it might be ‘hard’ to get “quick response” to this here, The best bet is to do the search YOURSELF (don’t be a lazy 9ja youth. Lol), use your search engine.

E.g SCHOOL IN USA that accepts 2.85 over 4.0 or so, just twist your search.
Or
Download the NICHE app on your app store to do that.


SHALOM!

hopefulmindhdd:
Good evening everyone. I'm a prospective student wanting to study for my undergraduate degree in the US most preferably. My question is that I have started processing admission into a Nigerian tertiary (when I wrote JAMB) institution but along the line when I finished my SSCE last year, my plans to study in the US became more feasible . Although my results weren't as superb as to what you'd see online but it ranges from A to C . Sorry for the lengthy explanation above . The question is that should I finish the processing or I should just focus fully on the US's ?
I just want my preparation to be holistic by having in mind whether or not it would affect my profile negatively or positively when I get to the Visa application stage.

I don't think I get this but, if I understand you; i think all you really need to start this UNDERGRADUATE journey in USA is solemnly your WAEC nothing concern jamb with the USA journey.

And then check out the prospective schools you want to apply to for other requirements, e.g SAT, TOEFL exams and co.

It would also be the best bet if you are Under 23 applying for Undergraduate.


Shalom!

Canada2021:
Good morning all, please I have just been admitted for the Fall 2022 semester and I have the following questions to ask;
1. My international passport will expire in May 2023, I read on the US Department of State website that my passport must be valid 6 months after the completion of my studies and my program is a 1 year program. Do you know if they are strict with this rule and would you advise me to apply for another passport ASAP?

2. Flowing from the first question, I used my current passport to apply for my admission should I still use it to proceed with the application of my I20 and visa.

3. When I was in the lawschool about 4 years ago, a travel agency defrauded us under the guise of organising an excursion for law school students to the US. We were shared into two batches for the interview. The first batch went for the interview and discovered that the embassy did not have their records and did not even have information about the trip, because of this I did not attend my interview the next day. When filling my DS-160 form do I have to indicate that I have applied for a visa before and does it amount to a denial.

4. Lastly, I have 2 uncles in the US who we don't relate with ever since my dad's death. While my dad was alive, he applied for the US visa and he stated that he has brothers in the US. Flowing from this, do you think I also need to state that I have other relatives in the US when filling my DS160 form.

Thank you all in anticipation of your response

1. Just start your passport application now, like immediately. The earlier the better!!

2. You can be using it for documentation and co until you have your new passport and before the actual expiring date. Nothing spoil; no biggie!!

3.


4. The best bet is mostly to remove people we’ve in the USA in the picture during this journey. even immediate ones talkess of distance. (Key Word: MOSTLY)

JaySterling:
Guys, I need an urgent advice about passport please. I have already filled my DS-160 form and booked my interview with my passport that would expire in May (4 months time) My interview is in 4 days time in Lagos. Fortunately, I just got a text from immigration that my new passport is ready for pickup. I have applied for this passport since August and there were no booklets to print Anyways, I'm getting it tomorrow

Do I just attend my interview like that with the two passports?

Or I have to fill in a new DS-160 ?

You know on the DS-160, the issue date and expiry date I filled is for the old passport

And now the new one will have new issue and expiry date. Please advise!! I don't want to be turned back at the embassy on Thursday

Just go with both passports. Needless filling or editing your docs. You’re good!

ifedayosol:
its not true guy.

Ok boss. Luck!

ifedayosol:
Lols. Funny you.

Abeg go take one dose jare....when you reach thr, u collect 2nd dose

Both dose are to be here oh. BOTH!!!

They’re going to scan and verify it before you can go ahead inside MMIA sef.

JaySterling:
My sister is fully vaccinated

Can I use her vaccination card to travel ?

Can she use your STAMPED PASSPORT to travel?

uchennangene:
Good evening my good people.

Please I’m really bothered about the fact that I went to put a job I started last year October in my DS-160 as my current job instead using the one I’ve been working since 2019. I don’t know if it makes sense to go back and remove the new job

Probably that was why they delayed my visa last month. Because that doesn’t show strong ties


Please what do you think? Is it better to go back and remove it? I was delayed last month with same info.

I’m wondering if it makes sense to completely remove it from my ds-160.


P.S. My transcript was posted here.

Highly advisable, you don’t make change from the first ever ds160 you filled, esp that you’re went to the Embassy with it. They believe in consistency, you already filled it in, if you removes it you would be surely be asked about it during the next application. Just find way to defend yourself when ask, luckily you might a new VO that might not care of your last job that’s of few months old.

Don’t remove it!!


Safe boss.

JaySterling:
Please, which Airline is not requesting for Covid fully vaccinated card ?

There should be at least one not asking for that shit

I beg you in the name of what you serve, make sure you’re fully vaccinated before your flight day, either by runs or by actually taking them. Because you would SURELY be sent back. Even my guy what was suppose to go to Ghana was sent back with his 1doze of Vaccine. He was asked to reschedule his flight, that was even Air Peace. It’s not even by flight type but countries rules and order.

Be safe!

Marv5:
Please who has anyone in US that can help with the payment of the SEVIS Form? I’d pay the person….Pls contact me here ademusire2015@gmail.com…it’s urgent!!!

Check your email

Doubuzofficial:




Thank You o.

I just told him to call back the money, will he get a refund?

I actually can’t say yes or no. But he should try, it is USA not 9ja.

Tell him to use WESTERN UNION, after collecting it back. WESTERN UNION!!!

Tinafusty:
Please does that mean I will need to fill another Ds-160 because I was admitted for spring but I couldn't get EA request approved,so I have to defer to fall 2022 because my regular appointment date is May 2022

Now defer to Fall 2022. When the new i20 being given to you, you would have to fill new ds160 for Fall 2022 with the Info on it.
You should kick start the filling around April, that would be like 1month to your May 2022 already scheduled date.

sbot:
Anyone please,

can I get an appointment date in Lagos against March ending resumption?

Appreciate your help.

Nobody here, would assure you of getting or not. It is you yourself that would do the work. So, pay for the visa fee and start checking and seeing for dates from now on. All I am super of is that ‘date go choke’ this coming fall as usual. So, the earlier the better!!



Goodluck!

Doubuzofficial:




My brother helped me pay this $350 online since 31st of December o



I still don’t have a mail from them.

Online bawo? No na!

The best place to pay SEVIS is Western Union in the USA, it would reflect with 10mins.

Online not even bank check or pay-Order How??

Rukween:
Good day all

I am scheduled for an interview 12th January,2022 and that is the date of my school's resumption. I applied for extension letter but the school suggested I defer to Fall 2022 which I am very ok with.

Now, my confusion is;

1. Should I reschedule my visa interview to a later date? In March or April?

2. Would I need to fill another DS-160 when I am going for the rescheduled interview?
If I do not need to, can I still fill a NEW one to make changes or I can edit this current DS-160

I'm grateful for your responses.

2. You would need to fill in a new ds160 around the time you schedule for the new interview. Ds160 expires after 30days of filling. So get your new date before you start filling it.

1. Yeah, kindly reschedule to at least 60days before the resumption date on your i20. I mean, if your school resumption is August, get you a May-July date.

Don’t forget the date search kick start from NOW, don’t wait till later, now!!!

Goodluck!!

gwallt:
Please guys I got delayed in Abuja and I changed to Lagos to get a new appointment date for my interview! I have paid for another MRV and fill a new ds-160.I applied for Emergency date since on Monday and uptill now no response from them.I used the same cgi that I used for Abuja for Lagos.l hope that’s not the reason why I haven’t got a response from them.Your advice is needed gurus in the house.

The same CGI is not the problem. Since you already know ays updated the account with the new receipt ID and changes the location to Lag.

To be sincere with you, there is no closer date available in Lag embassy atm, also coming from the fact that you’re denied weeks ago, it might be hard to get date because even regular date (people have hat have not been denied before) seekers in lag are still on the queue ‘looking for date’.

Don’t forget i said Hard not Impossible. So, still keep following up.

Goodluck!
