stephenponti:



you where also rejected? But you can appeal or reaaply abi? We are all stuck in this shit hole.

it's to reapply actually.
They stated that we should not appeal in their verdict.

But I am still waiting to get professional advice on the way forward.. don't want to make mistakes

Truth234:


He should be the one to tell the interviewer all his strengths, academics, scholarship, etc below is your story on our platform

https://investorsking.com/2023/08/26/60000-scholarship-awardee-among-nigerians-denied-u-s-visa/

Alright seen .

Funny enough, hexwas trying to ramble through all these you suggested with the little time he had, but it seemed as if the interviewer already had his mind made up to frustrate the guy.

Segun2222:
you're lying...... A top gun wont need scholarship 🤣🤣

you Nigerians make me laugh or even want to cry at your mindset.
Unfortunately you really don't understand what a scholarship is, do you.

Read extensively on scholarships before making some certain annoying comments.
It is not only the poor that apply for scholarships.

Chai!! Shame dey catch me sef as I am trying to explain to you.
Let's just leave it at that

Even a dangote will appreciate his child for securing a $60,000 dollars worth of scholarship.

That said continue in your perception of life.
And don't tell me I lied.
Instead you are the liar here.

That said, have a good life

coputa:
So you mean Nigerians no longer travel to the US

Did you bother reading the post very well.
Did I indicate anywhere that Nigerians don't travel to the US.
I only said people are facing more rejections more than before.
You can confirm from anyone that hangs around embassies or are into visa runs

phemmyfour:
They are obsessed with English speaking countries like US, UK, Australia and Canada. However, there are some Universities in non English speaking countries that have some of their courses taught in English. For instance ISU in France courses and English taught

okay..

phemmyfour:
You can get these courses done in Eastern European like Ukraine, sweden, Bulgaria, Russia etc even at a cheaper rate

And what happens to language barrier and other factors like school aids and internship or even other opportunities?

See eh! Most people do their researches very well before applying for schools abroad and not just because they want to join the band wagon.
And that is why you see them reapplying again and again until they get it.

Cmanforall:

Okay.
I suspect there are other reasons they denied him.

Getting a scholarship doesn't guarantee automatic entry visa to the US. The scholarship could have been to cover for the tuition, which means he doesn't have any access to $60,000, but the Uni fees wich may worth 60k will be waived for him in a form of scholarship. Other parts of visa documentations are his responsibility. He might complain he got a scholarship of 60k and was denied visa, but did he meet other US requirements?
Any falsified document etc.?

you know the annoying thing was that he was not even asked to provide accompanying documents.
It was just his admission letter, DS 160 form and just international passport and nothing else.

That was the same fate almost every one had.
No careful perusal or scrutiny of documents, just rejection at face value

phemmyfour:
Go elsewhere, must you go to US/Canada. There are many non English speaking Europe countries that will grant your visa ASAP. Nigerians are just stereotype

we all know this.
But if someone wants to go to a particular country, don't you think he would have taken a lot of things into consideration?.

Would you suggest I go to Haiti to study artificial intelligence and Robotics if that is what I intend to study knowing fully well that I can't get it there?

Thanks for the advice, but whoever is insisting on going to a particular country should know the reasons why.

Throwback:
Igbos and Obidients should be asking Peter Obi why he did not present his University certificate and NYSC to INEC, instead of presenting only his GCE which he sat for after he failed hopelessly in his WAEC.

We all know that Tinubu was bold and proud enough to present his own university degree and NYSC certificate to INEC.

Why did Obi's aide come to the public to show us Peter Obi's UNN Bachelor's certificate, instead of submitting it to INEC like other candidates who have university certificates did?


What is Peter Obi afraid of?

So las las, Peter Obi no even better pass Buhari who actually has a student Cambridge/WAEC certificate and not a 2nd chance external candidate GCE like Obi.

but it is Atiku vs tinubu that is the topic and not obi

Runninghare:




You talk as one that is without fault?



"my dagger is not drawn"

at fault for what exactly?.

The way you people judge and draw conclusions eh! is disturbing

emdis:
Pls, Abuja or Lagos? Make we take note now o..

it actually took place in Lagos and that was because Abuja held off on conducting interviews as at when the visa appointment went through

Cmanforall:

If he got Scholarship of 60k, is it for masters programme of 2 years? Or Bachelors?

Some people make minor mistakes during application. I helped someone who was previously rejected to make a US visa application, and he got it (though he was so tensed because of earlier experience)

it was actually a master's scholarship in a school in California

marenkurz:
It is a lie. You guys believe everything.

I saw him.
I saw his documents.
He was the son of a top gun in Nigeria

marenkurz:
Don't mind OP, he is not truthful.
No embassy would reject a visa application when you have scholarship from a reputable institution.
It doesn't make sense. I know at least 20 people that has left for the USA with scholarship in the last two years.

so 20 people you know out of the millions of Nigerians that are bounced or outrightly rejected makes you an authority on visa rejection affairs.

Maybe you think I am an armchair reporter.
I saw the unfortunate ones with my " korokoro eyes" as they say.

What exactly is your submission with this comment of yours?.
That I am lying?.
Read through my post again and again and understand how on ground I was on that day.
And mind you, I said a lot of Nigerians were rejected on that day.

Angelfrost:


Well, that's the idea... Demand and Supply!

Keep rejecting many, and keeping making serious money for the American government due to the desperation of Nigerians to flee their nation.

The game is what it is...

That's also why America and Europe never want good leadership in African nations.

Imagine a visionary and moral leader pushing for the fast development of this nation... Just imagine it.

Visa applications, student applications, Japa generally will decrease massively!

IELTS will be hit terribly!

Those nations will lose their cash cow, not to mention the human resources they are leeching off Africa.

makes sense

emdis:
So even students on scholarships are now being rejected? Damn!

very painful o.
Even undergraduates that are young and definitely have ties back home were bounced out.

IS HERE And Observing The Thread, To Know The Level Of BAD NEWS

nobody died on that day and people's heads were not broken too as far as I know, just few people that were almost fainting out of frustration.

Abi make I give you the details make you run the story?

ojasweb:


This particular statement is the worst thing about the majority of Nigerians.

The way people glorify, engage, and support illegalities and find justifications for it is alarming.

that is why towards the end of my post, I indicated that such people will not understand until something wants to make them travel out .it may be study, or even health reasons

Dcaptain2023:
Its terrible my brother

sister actually

AllenSpencer:


We thought the embassies our criminality!

What makes you believe the scholarship the is real? And even if it’s real, the embassies have been forced to learn that, even though it’s a scholarship, doesn’t mean it’s a scholarship.

People used that racket to nail Canada back in those days. The link was coming from Indian then.

So even if it’s a scholarship, it doesn’t mean it’s a scholarship. We taught the embassies EVERYTHING they know

the American embassy staff and systems are not daft.
All they needed to do was carefully scrutinize the documents and be sure it is real.

Maybe people could get away with things like that nowadays, but not any more especially with technology and all that

YourBestWriter:


It is indeed a curse to be Nigerian. I'm on my third attempt now to get a visa, and hopefully it will be successful this time after two previous failed attempts. Sometimes i wonder why humans have to go through such difficult processes just to travel. I sometimes envy the birds that fly freely at will. We committed no crime as immigrants; we just want to leave this country for the rich, corrupt people to defecate upon. Is that a crime?

Now 😭 this is very deep..most people will not understand what it is like.
But I encourage you to try again.
If our schools and systems were working, why would people want to abandon their loved ones and go to a strange land and start life afresh?.

Sorry bro.
My prayers are with you

MASTERMIND04:

No wahala. God will make it possible.

thanks 👍

Chetas81:
THE QUESTION IS THAT,WHO ARE YOU LEAVING YOUR MOTHERLAND FOR, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY TANGIBLE CONTRIBUTION IN YOUR MOTHERLAND,DO YOU THINK TO BE SLAVE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE GLOBE 🌍 WOULD BE BETTER OPTION FOR YOU,I COME IN PEACE

it is for study

MASTERMIND04:

Forget about all these. They give people VISA. They reject more though but people get it.
My younger sis was on $34k scholarship and she got it.
I know about 2 people who got it too. All at first attempt.
They are giving people. You just have to know what to do to get it.
If they don't give you now, try again.
Try Abuja.
Don't scare those who want to try.

oga I am definitely not scaring any one.

Take time to read my post okay.
I also inferred that a lot of people from the hours of 6:30am to 9am were denied visa.
Are you saying that they were all not qualified.

Meanwhile Abuja was not conducting interviews as at when our application went through. We had to fly to Lagos for the interview.

There are things that are beyond the ordinary eyes, no matter how overtly prepared you are for things like that

tishbite42:

Is this a premium joke??

in my own case there was a very very strong tie.

And secondly documents were not even perused at all.
Infact the folder was closed the way it was from home.

So it wasn't a case of documentation, and there was no questions asked regarding ties to warrant that kind of verdict.

Be that as it may, does it mean that more than 200 people that had the same verdict didn't have strong ties , besides some didn't even have their documents perused

madone:
the matter is critical. One day the table will turn.
You also forgot to add those of you that travel stay just one month in America the next day you are shouting I wanna wanna on the streets of America disturbing the innocent citizens una hand dey too.

this comment is for childish people that don't know what they want out of life and not for serious minded people like me
Reading my post from beginning to end will definitely convince you that I am not one of those you alluded to
Thank you

Note: Be warned! The sound can make your landlord give you quit notice. Don't say I didn't warn you.

And you still want make tenants buy am?

colbycell:


If they're not corrupt, quota systems means when you attain the set quota you stop selling whatever it is your products are and attend to what you already have. Why collect money when you know you're not going to issue Visas...more like bet9ja if you ask me.

that is my thoughts too.
Why continue to collect visa application fee from people.
Now the rejected people will still reapply.
It is terrible

lastkingsman:


@Mummyfour

You mean scholarship and not loan? Jeez!

US should pity us na. Na WA oh

It was scholarship o.

Infact that one was even more devastating

FalseProphet1:
I'm very disappointed that I didn't make that list despite the fact that all my prophesies have all come pass. How can Nigeria move forward when we cannot be honest with little things. Everyone knows that award belongs to me, but corruption and tribalism wouldn't all them give it to me.

Well I'll continue my prophesies and keep on winning spiritual awards.

This I have seen.

I feel your pain.
Don't worry, just continue with what you are doing.
You are doing well.
Even better than most of the true prophets that we know
I prophesy that the award will be yours by 2030
