If your school starts by Spring- January/Feb, why do you want to go now? Check the requirements for number of days you can enter the US before resumption to avoid unnecessary issues at the POE. You don't need any transit visa with Turkish Airlines if you are connecting. You are to remain at the airport.

Visa approved this morning at the Abuja consulate. I was scheduled for the 15th of August, but was fortunate to have rescheduled to 9th of August and do you know that I did that on the 7th of August?

Profile - BSc. ( Hons) Physics from the University of Jos Nigeria ( top of graduating class of 2017), 2 Published papers and abstract. Two awards from the American physical society. GRE physics -91 percentile (s). One Harvard e-print( NASA/SAO).

Funding- merit scholarship of $22,627 + teaching assistant position starting Spring. The merit scholarship has nothing to do with the teaching position. Course- masters in optics / optical sciences

Interview : window 8, had rejected someone already before I went to meet him..

VO - Good morning, pass me your passport

Me - hope you slept well! Here is my passport and i20

VO- okay why are you going to the City University of New York?

Me- Apart from the fact I was awarded a generous merit scholarship which of course I am grateful for, I chose this school because of the on going research of my..... VO cut in... He was amazed at the scholarship amount.

VO - how did you get this scholarship?

Me - my excellent undergraduate grades, previous research and awards... Cuts in again.

VO - which school did you graduate from?

Me- University of Jos, Nigeria

VO- that's a very good school you know.. I concurred.

VO- okay, what's optical science?

Me- I was surprised at the question, but I went ahead to give him a detailed answer.

VO- from your answer, I must tell you that you are a credible student.

Me- thank you sir.

VO- Great, but you know that New York is very expensive.. I have been there when I went for a burial.. I couldn't hear him clearly.. I don't want you to go and struggle even though you will be given stipends.. So where are you going to stay? Your accomodation? I don't want you to stay in an uncomfortable housing?.... We both laughed and our laughter echoed. Okay I will be approving your visa but I will advice you, make sure you study well, and don't forget to come back home if things go rough... Congrats again on your scholarship.. Then passes the white pick up paper, and the congratulations slip.. Have a great day.

Me- Thank you very much sir.


NB - I really thank Jesus Christ. If you don't believe in God, please I do. He has led me through since my undergrad days and during the demise of my dad. And I believe He will make me perform exploits..May God name be praised.. I wish those who are yet to be interviewed, a successful visa interview...

Stumbled on this thread when I typed the problem I had with the app on Google, I followed this instructions and am now good to go, thank a bunch.

SOPWriter:
Good Morning.

I wish everyone having their interview today an approval!

Please don't try this. Vegas to Texas using bus
I can bet you, if you check local flights you'll get a cheap ticket to IAH or the closest airport in Texas to your destination.
While in Vegas, you can get a bus ride ($5 for 24 hours) to the Strip and Freemont street for sightseeing. Don't waste the 15 hours at the airport

iPLEXUS:
Opinions please people

Lizzy44544:
Did the VO tell u about the AP or it just came up like that?

Googledrive12:
yes I am still on AP I hope it will be issued this week

DavidhumeNO:
Guy, what papers were you issued?
And when was your status last updated?

Hello Narialanders,

I really need your urgent thoughts on this as I'm ruining low in time::

I am presently a Post graduate student billed to attend a conference in Birmingham, UK from 17th -18t of Sept which relates to my course of studies. The trip will be self sponsored and I plan to stay for only three days. I have also gotten an Introductory letter from the registrar of my school. However, I have some conflicting challenges that needs clarification

1) I have been previously denied visa to the UK (2014) and USA(2018), Hope this won't affect my chances?
2) I own a registered business and run the business primarily from my saving account.. I usually receive deposits from client. Do I need to explain these funds in my application form or cover letter?
3) Should my cover letter be typed on my business letter headed paper and signed as the CEO?
4) What kind of sub visa category do I need to choose? Business or Academic Visit?
5) I plan to spend only 360000 including accommodation, fare and co? Do I need to book a flight to show the accuracy of this figure
6) My present account balance is 1.1mill with assets (land), would that seemingly be sufficient?
Kindly recommend cautions to be taken..
