Contact the school via email. They should be able to guide you. Perhaps if you had requested to defer, you may be asked to start a new application or asked few details about the last admission they offered you like student ID...[/quote

I still have my student ID but my fear is hope they wont ask me to pay another deposit..]

Hello Nairalanders, Please i advice on how to follow this. I got admission in fall 2014 and i was denied of VISA, so i didnt re-apply again till now. By August., it will 2 yrs i applied to the sch. What process can i follow so that i can get another admission letter and I20.

Please some should advice me.

Anonymous1900: Hello Folks,

I have never contributed to any blog before however i have read quite a few and would like to contribute/help based on my own personal experience or the various myths out there about VO (and how they are perceived as demi gods).

It is important to note that their ultimate function is to help (which means if your denied or approved, the vo gets paid hence there is no vested interest in denying you)

My personal experience stems from the following so if any of the statements highlighted below applies to you, i might be able to help answer some of your questions.

NB. I AM NOT A VISA OFFICER NOR AM I REQUESTING ANY KIND OF PAYMENT FOR ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED HERE

1. if you have ever been rejected a us visa and want to apply again (visa denied)
2. if you have had an I-130 visa petition submitted on your behalf and want to apply for a us visa (visiting) (visa approved)
3. if you have had an I-130 visa approved and you want to apply for a us visa (visiting) (visa approved)
4. if you have had an i-130 visa approved and want to apply for an F1 student visa (visa approved)

essentially all four statements apply to me and while i cant explain all in details without specific questions due to time and energy, i will touch on my most recent application (f1 visa)

I am a strong advocate of honesty as that has always been the case with all my applications.
For the record i was denied a us visa in 2000/2001 and the reason the vo gave as i recall was that my father had sufficient funds for us not to return (i applied together with my 3 siblings at the same time and the vo approved only 1 visa for my sister and denied the rest of us boys), not exactly sure which year now and i never applied for a us visa again till 2011 when i had a conference (OTC)

Jumping forward a bit to my recent application
The VO did not ask for any of my documents, GRE, certificate, sponsorship documents etc

Transcript of the Interview
Me: Good Morning
Vo: Good Morning

Vo:why did you choose .....uni
Me: offered best return on investment for grad study

Vo: you already have a postgraduate degree, so why another
Me: its a process to a phd as my original postgraduate was a 1yr program which was not being considered favorably
by my intended schools in the usa

vo: who is sponsoring you
me: my brother

vo: what does he do and where does he work
me: he is an engr with ...... company

vo: who filed an I-130 petition for you and whats the status
me: my father back in 2011 and it was approved in 2013, waiting for a priority date on that (in retrospect i would not have said that, guess it was nerves)

vo: who sponsored your initial postgraduate
me: my father

vo: thanks, your visa has been approved, pick it up on monday preferrably and make sure you travel with your student visa and not your visiting visa (i have a current 2yr visiting visa on my passport)
me: thanks, have a good day

entire interview was about 5mins though it felt like 15

PS: the 4 cases i mentioned above have all occurred to me and i believe the statements are self explanatory however, please ask whatever questions that require clarification and i would do my best to answer.

regards and best of luck to everyone

Pls anyone with an idea of a cheap hotel in abj close to s the us embassy

Please....does the US embassy hold interview on Saturdays if i am using emergency....for student visa interview.

juntod:

Please do not present that GRE score. If your school didn't require GRE, simply tell the VO that you were exempted because of your work experience. You can even try to get a written statement from your school to that effect.

Thanks brov....so wut do u advice me on the cos aspect....Geology and goin for Computer information science and takin a major in Geographic Information Science

juntod:

Before you worry about GRE, do you have a good reason for switching from Geology to Comp Sci? That should be your major concern now as VOs must ask about it. Again, how did you get admission for masters into a course unrelated to your undergraduate course and with a low GRE? What exactly did the school see in your profile if its not a red flag school? No need to hide any information from us if you actually need help. Let us know your full profile so that you can be properly guided.

My cos is Computer Information Science and i have a good Toef buh my GRE is the issue here

Am a 2.1 graduate and am presently workin as a survey...moreso am takin a major in GIS.
