Hello all,

Am here again 2 ask d same question which is as anybody sin a date or booked 1 in d last 2weeks? Its bin really sometin else as l cant view any available date.

Got peeps with the same issue, dey will rectify it.

dizyfrenzy:
hey guys, i have a few tips i wanna share with you guys based on what i experienced at the embassy when i went for my interview, and i hope it helps those that want to go to abuja embassy. first thing i would advise is that you should be very prepared when going there, have a very good explanation for everything they ask you, and be prepared to answer at least one academic question cos the guy in counter 8 and 9 would always ask you one question based on what you have done, if youre going for masters, he could ask you to tell him about your undergraduate project. i would also advise against going to the embassy without your waec result if youre going for undergrad in the u.s
the guy in counter 9 denied someone because the girl didnt come with her waec result. i went for my own intervioew and i was given the visa without gre,gmat, toefl or any tests, thats why the guy would ask you academic question. he asked one guy "what is standard deviation", he asked another guy "what is the square root of -1, thirdly,you dont have to dress too corporate cos they dont even care about that(i went there with a round neck t-shirt, jeans and sneakers). and always try as much as possible to say the truth, the men there especially the guy in counter8 has a way of knowing when youre lying to him, if you wanna lie, be damn well good at the lie and it should be a very reasonable one. last but not the least, pray to God so that you wont have to go meet the chinese woman,
God will help everyone going for interview next and we'll all smile at the end of the day

Wise One!!!

            "Error: Error occurred while loading a Visualforce page.

             Please email us if you need to get in touch."

Can any1 confirm if they tried bookin a date 4rm 6pm 2day?

yes, i experienced the same things, is it abuja or lagos! how many times have u tried it and is it this new gtb receipt or the old vfs!

@timo!

@ House:
I've been trying to book another visa interview appointment after my initial denial but my initial visa application fee receipt is still being listed on my page and it doesnt give me any provision to change the old receipt number to the new one and fixing a new interview date with d old receipt number would amount to fraud. Does anyone who has re-applied for a visa interview date know how I can get over this challenge? Thankz!

were you able to rectify this problem? and if yes, how long did it take you.

joanacan:

OjaP:
@ pickito,neva in your life try to use that account of 3million,your schl tuition and expenses of $26k is far well above 3m.The consular wouldnt just waste time when he sees you statement,he will just tell you insufficient funds and that means outright denial,i pray dat wont happen to u.Don't u knw what your mates do when it comes to statement of account issue,U no be Naija boy?Dont 4get d embassy doesnt verify statement of acct,Wisen up guy and do al perfectly.

what sort of advice are you giving? OLUWOLE? guy, i least expected dat from you.

bomly:
House I beg is it possible to book an appointment in both Lagos and Abuja, that would mean filling two DS-160 form and when you are about going for the first appointment you canceal the other DS 1 - 60 for.

You can fill 2 forms, but dont submit both!

bomly:
nairaspace I have been monitoring that site for about a week now and i haven't seen any date earlier than 17th of September, how do i apply for an earlier date?

Guy, go back and read some pages, like 3-4 pages back!! u will see the explainations of getting an emergency date, bombade them with messages

apply for an early date since ur interview date is close to resumtion

oyewolejos:
Sorry i was pretty busy at work today. I dropped a note for u so reply accordingly.
Cheers and congrats on your Visa
Na God no be man

replied~~~~

oyewolejos:
@Nairaspace YIM asap we gat to talk on some issues.

Oga me, i sent a buzz, no reply!


Was issued visa 3pm 29th july, got my visa at hand at 2pm 30th july,

not up to 24hrs!!!!!!

Godeagle:
Congratulations to ciscoSE & nairaspace! And to all those still in line, I say congratulations in advance!

Thanks mohaka. Persistence certainly pays off. The SEVIS fee is valid for 1 yr or so, even if you change program. So all your new school needs to do is update your sevis record when preparing your I-20. The new sevis number will be in your new I-20 so you will not need to pay again. You shouldn't have a problem unless the school does something crazy like not updating the record before issuing I-20, which is unlikely.
Thanks again bebure, I've seen some good deals. I'll need to make a choice between Qatar & Turkish airlines, both are less than $1600.  

No Try turkish! USE qatar, i heard that turkish once negleted the students at their airport sometime ago, so QATAR is good, IM me on onlyfair_boy

make we rob minds!

whats ur id man

@Abgovernor: Thanks alot .

refinedsam:
@nairaspace: where was your first interview and wat was the reason for your first refusal? Your courage challenge me oh and am resolved to make a move also.that old Chinese witch must b avoided by all nairalanders, since she is nt a native American I guess she is not considerate like the real American males .talk to me friends, !

i was denied cos i didnt know where the state was on the usa map, and also what courses i would take, nothing more.

man, if i tell u my life history, u go run! lol, i suppose don give up since, but HE said Move On, now is the time.

ciscoSE:
Folks,

I had my emergency student visa interview scheduled for Abuja at 1PM yesterday (29TH). The Chinese lady scrutinized everyone she interviewed thoroughly and was very detailed so she is definitely a tough cookie but remember as long as you are composed and legitimate you should be fine.

Fortunately i had the nice guy he asked me several questions which i will share shortly. I was given the green ticket and i was granted a visa. In my euphoria i cant remember when they asked me to come collect the visa however i will go back on Monday to pick it up as everyone given before me were asked to come on Monday for there visa's.

Congratulations to everyone that got there visa's today and for those that didn't get it please don't loose hope, learn from your mistakes and also this forum and go conquer.

I should be out of this joint Monday after collecting my visa or Tuesday and headed for Louisiana.

Thank God for you.
