Visa Approval transcript
Abuja Embassy
October 26th 2021. 8:30 am
PhD Civil Engineering (Fully Funded) Spring 2022
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Previously denied a B1 and F1 visa in 2018
Interviewed by a white American man

Me: Good Morning

VO: Can I have your I-20 and passport, please?

Me: (Hands over required documents)

VO: Have you travelled out of Nigeria before?

Me: Yes

VO: Where and for what purpose?

Me: I was in Saudi Arabia for my Master's Program.

VO: How long were you there, and can I see your masters certificate

Me: I was there from 2018 till June 2021. I showed him my Certificate, and he checked the graduation date to confirm the date I mentioned.

VO: Are you working presently?

Me: No, I have been working on my master's thesis research papers since I got back to Nigeria in June. I have also been learning new software I will need for my doctorate study.

VO: (Nods head in unison)Why are you going for a PhD?

Me: I worked on cementitious materials for my master's thesis. I want to gain an extensive and in-depth knowledge of the use of supplementary cementitious materials in concrete. Hence the reason for advancing further for a PhD.

VO: What do you plan to do after your study?

Me: After my PhD, I plan to advance further as a teacher and a researcher. So I will be coming back to Nigeria to work as a full-time lecturer at my alma mater, the University of Lagos, and research discovering new local cementitious materials to be used in concrete production.

VO: Do you have a family member in the US?

Me: Yes, my mom's younger brother.

VO: Where in the US does he stay?

Me: Providence, Rhodes Island.


VO: Everything checks out. I will be approving your VISA.


Summary: He mostly asked questions from what I filled in my DS-160 form to confirm if everything correlates. And I believe the question about the location of my mom's brother in the US was from my past B1 visa denial transcript.

Thanks to everyone that shared their transcripts. It helped. God bless you.

Congratulations

megbaba:
Add my number 09057012118 to the WhatsApp number. And in case there is a date in November or December please kindly let us know. I checked previously denied the date on it was 2023 and also regular the nearest date was June. So as someone who has been denied before which category is appropriate to click on. Previously denied dates start from 2023. While regular nearest date is June.

You would have picked regular instead of previously denied so you can see a closer date. You can them fill previously denied on your DS160.

Kunkuntum? Wetin be that?

osram:
My friend got his visa approved today at the Abuja embassy.... And guess what guys?

He was interviewed by the dreaded Korean/Asian guy

Everything Na God grace

Visa approved

Abuja window 8


VO: pass me your document
Me: I passed all documents.
VO: have u been to the US before?
Me:No
VO: why PhD and not Msc?
Me: I am more interested in core research and my research interest cuts across various areas of Geoscience. Hence, a PhD is a best fit for me as it will give me the needed time to cover these areas effectively.
VO: what is your highest qualification?
Me: I hold a Bsc in Geology from Federal University Gusau.
VO: congratulations I will be approving your visa...passes me the white paper.
Me: I just went blank

Congratulations to him

Blaeizyt:
That cryptojesus guy is doing a great job

Where can I find this guy let me follow him.

Alot of things are happening in this our country nowadays.

HazelCanny:
Ok thanks... pls when did you lodge there?

Last two weeks.

BARISTAMandela:
You MUST tell them If they ask you, if they don't, then no need to say anything, if you lie about it, you visa will definitely be denied.

Hehehehe... how will they know that you lied about it when you didn't mention it anywhere that you have a sibling. If you haven't mentioned it before on your DS160 that you have a sibling there, they won't know bro.

tasho105:
Am still awaiting your contributions to this, pls help.a.bro.

I'm interested in a master's program in management to boost my career.
I'm in my late 40s, have HND and BSc in Economics.
I'm applying for spring admission.

My question: considering my age, do I have a chance of getting admission in US?
...and what's my chance of getting f1 visa?

Thanks as I await your response

For me, I think age doesn't matter if you are going for MSC and not for another BSC. You do have a chance of getting admission and Visa if you meet the neccessary requirements which age is not one of them.

Mickeybook:
#700 on bolt for transportation

I dont know about bolt cus I didn't use it when I lodged there. I used taxi which was #150

HazelCanny:
But the address says Lugbe... which is a satellite town outside the central district area... has anyone here used this hotel?

I have. It is just #150 trans fare from the hotel bus/stop to the embassy. Just enter taxi going to Area 10 and they will stop you at the embassy.

Laworldz:
Good afternoon. Please can anyone suggest good and safe hotels close to US embassy Abuja please. It’s urgent.

If you have not yet gotten one check this out. It is not only close to the embassy, it is also cheap too. 5k per night

Aratop:
Good morning house, trust we had a restful night!

I requested for an emergency appointment(Lagos) F - 1, since Tuesday night but have not gotten a feedback from them. I do not know if the request takes more than 72 hours.
I will appreciate comments based on rich experience...thanks.

It takes time most times. I can remember mine took about 2 weeks or so before it was approved and I have a friend that his took up to a month before it was approved. It differs though. There are some people theirs wasn't up to 48 hours. I think they approve based on the availability of days they have.

SILENTandSMART2:
First of all I'm pregnant , who will come my naming ceremony....

Ceremony? I love attending ceremonies. Where and when is it happening?

Family is everything.

Lovelypam:
On your second attempt, You were denied because u failed to wait for 2 months before going for another attempt. I guess you used an agent who probably knew about this but refuse to tell you because of money. When booking an appointment you are specifically ask if you have be denied visa within the past 2 months. If you click yes, no visa date will be available to you. If no, then you can schedule a regular appointment. Beware of those agent. I was a victim. My advice try and get a date from November 16. DO NOT GO FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT THIS MONTH!!!

This was not the reason for his denial sir. You said you were a victim? Did the VO tell you that you were denied because you didn't wait for two months? You got denied the second time doesn't mean that it was because you didn't wait for two months. I have a friend that got denied in July and she went back in August and her Visa was approved. I think the problem is because of his mom and brother that are over there.

Pregnancy is what many married women pray for.

macron:
Please someone should help me. I was previously denied in August and I don’t know if EA will be approved for me. I want to know if I should just defer till Fall 2022 or if I should try for spring 2022

You won't know until you apply first. I will advice you to apply for EA, if they didn't approve it you can then defer to Fall 2022.

deolubajo:
Hello bro, Please, what other questions did the Korean guy ask during your interview apart from your travel history? I will be going for my interview at the Abuja embassy soon.

Good evening bro, he said that from my I-20 he can see that I have a scholarship ( it wasn't a scholarship. It is RA with tuition waiver), that who is going to cover the deficit? And also where do I work ? Those were the questions he asked me.

I wish you the best of luck bro.

JAccksnow:
Anyone here experiencing this?
I can't access binance with my Glo network but my Airtel works.

Same here ooo. I even thought I was the only one experiencing that.

Good day guys, please can anyone help us give reviews of the VOs in Lagos Abeg. Please let's know the ones that deny base on travelling history and those that don't care about travelling history.

Jonesdozi:
NOVEMBER 2021 AVAILABLE IN LAGOS!!!

God will bless you bro for this. I have booked. Though I will be looking out for a closer date too.

UAVdrones:
You may not see the emergency link on your cgi again. Wait till you are 60days of your program start date.

Okay, thanks a lot.

tmann626:
That was on friday. you can check your CGI if the link is still there. Someone here posted about applying twice but got rejected.

Okay, thank you.

NigPatriot:
Just say you were issued the 214b because you were not able to demonstrate your intent to pursue your F1 intent.

What has changed?

I was not nervous and was not able to prove to the VO that I didn't have immigrant intent.

You'll get on your second try. Don't fret!

Thanks a lot for this.

tmann626:
I also applied for emergency appointment in abuja and it was approved.

Wooow... congrats. When bro?


If one applies for emergency appointment and it gets rejected. Will you have another chance to apply for another one again? Or you just have only one chance?

Aside @Kaey10, has anyone been able to apply for emergency appointment and was granted or still on hold? I would want to know especially in Lagos.

My 60 days starts on 2nd of November, do you guys advice I apply for emergency appointment in Lagos now or I should hold on till 2nd.

Oofay:
The paper you were given must have a section of the act written on it. 221(g) or 214(b) I think
So check it. If it's under 214(b), just write 'I was denied under section 214(b) if he US .....act.'
No need for story. They'll see the particular reason on the system.

Okay, thanks.
