Hello Labhii,
You can get it with a one way ticket at GTbank

Labhii:
Did they demand for a return ticket because I was at Zenith and Stanbic at Oba Akran yesterday and I was declined mainly because of this.

Thanks.

World People;
The refusal letter been given @ the US consulate in Lagos is now WHITE
If you want a stress less PTA exchange, the GTbank @ Oba-Akran, Lagos should be your destination, you will get it under 48hours
Cheers.

Hello
Please can you show me a screen shot of what the adapter looks like....
Thanks.

shayhune:
Get an international adapter. It's #1000 at Computer Village, Ikeja. With it, you can use any socket in Casablanca and the US.

This cracked me up, can't stop laughing
Do they also have keypoint too.

towbaynah:
They have visa interview past questions and answers?

@Glurssymum,your transcript looks quite convincing enough. you stand a better chance of getting it alone as the gurus have rightly said. Your people can come in for the interview on a later date even before you travel.
Cheers.

Contact the moniker @ Starboy2016 and Awesu122.
Cheers.

Hello,
Please I need a contact in Oakland, California.
Please try and help a brother o.
God bless You.
It is very urgent.
Thanks.

Sorry about the refusal, please post your transcript for people to help you critically analyze. To schedule another appointment you will need to wait 24hrs for the old interview booking to wipe from your profile dashboard afterwards you click on schedule new appointment and fill appropriately. Better still after filling your new DS form go to your profile and click update profile from the dashboard,remove the old DS form number and insert the new old. Best of luck on your next interview.
Cheers.

Glurssymum:
Hello house I was denied today and have made another payment to reschedule appointment because my school resumes next month. Can someone help me with how to navigate on the scheduling appointment page as my old appointment is still there and not allowing me schedule another. I will appreciate your swift response as this is very urgent

Thanks, Texrem came through.

imperiouxx:
Maybe texrem and the rest can help you with this. I don't need naira at this time.

PM sent
Thanks.

texrem:
Pm me

Virgin island and US is in the drop down menu,you create an account,find your school if they are affiliated and fill the form for fund transfer.
I have attached a sample of a payment receipt made in June. Looking for a better option because the man charged at #400.

OluDare01:
Haha I called them and that's what I was told. I even created an account with them and I couldn't find the US in the drop down menu.
How did you do it?

Hello babsharon,
You can apply for any degree program as far as it aligns with your long term prospect and career goals.
Cheers.

babsharon:
Good morning house. Can someone with b.sc in agric economics apply for MBA?? Please I need someone to advise correctly thanks

Brother, People have paid within the US with Flywire(i generate a coupon like the SEVIS fee payment with a 3days deadline and the payment gets delivered to school).US and Nigeria is on the drop menu but it takes longer to access form A as you rightly said.
Thanks.

OluDare01:
Flywire is only used for international transaction.
No one in the US can make the payment for you ( I confirmed this yesterday).
You can either try someone in Canada or UK considering how long it takes to access form A.

Hello people of the world, I want to pay my enrollment fee of $400 via Flywire and will reimburse with Naira equivalent.
Cc Texrem, imperiouxx,Lagosismyhome,oluDare01,walspring.
Thanks.

Song keep playing in my head.
They say this is a big rich town
I just come from the poorest part
Bright lights, city life, I gotta make it
This is where it goes down
I just happen to come up hard
Legal or illegal baby I gotta make it

It should be pretty straight forward. from CMS take a keke going to bar beach/Victoria Island drop at the last stop and ask people around of Bishop Oluwole st or better still ask the keke man before boarding.
Cheers

I think it might be, B1/B2 visa holders are expected to have a return ticket.

HisSon24:
Hello! Wonderful people. Plesse I need your experience on this, I am going to the US on F1visa with grandma on B1B2. I know it's not a problem for me to buy one way ticket. Can I get one way ticket for grandma too as we don't want her to travel alone. We are Planing she returns with any of our friends coming home for Christmas then we will get another ticket that will tally with that of any of our friend coming home. Please will one way ticket be an issue for my grandma at the port of entry..... Thanks for your response in advance.

Abdon01:
Hello guys, after a refusal mail from IRCC today.
I decided to message my department @usask about the visa refusal and that I intend to reapply, I asked them if I can defer my admission and funding till Jan 2018 resumption, the department then told me that if my supervisor will accept that, they will accept also and they will reprint my offer letter and funding letter with new date for Jan 2018 entry and fortunately for me, my supervisor ACCEPTED!

what do you guys think?
Defer or reapply again for September 2017 visa?
Please I need ur contributions guys

Long Post Alert ooooooooo
Alihamdulilahi Robil Alamin,

I hope somebody someday somewhere out there get inspired by my post, It should most definitely be long but I will just go ahead and summary, I could probably write my own book ”ON BECOMING” like Toke. From the sigh of relief from Wizkid to TerryG frowning, Annie Macaulay dejection, the list is probably endless. I have actually seen a whole bunch aside from the dark male CGI officer inside the interview room directing applicants to interview cubicle and the pregnant CGI officer that checks document outside pre-interview, she is always pregnant, both been working at the Lagos consulate for over 5years. I have been to the embassy everyday of the week except for public holidays and weekends of course. From the days of sitting to get called by the white number slip to the recent rowdy and tiring standing, from 23k to 64k, my piece is about hope, desire, aspiration, dream and the harsh reality check all wrapped in one.
It all started in 011, fresh outta unilag and hoping to conquer the world, partner with UNESCO on short term programs and have a side project like Tony Elumelu’s heirs holdings, 6years on I am writing this. I wrote GRE and TOEFL in February 012 amidst the whole oil subsidy protest, passed enough to get a full 2yrs ride from Murray state university and 70% from western Michigan state University 10 months later. My first visa interview was like yesterday, listening to Rick Dees weekly top 40 every weekend on Cool fm, Hova and yeez dropped ‘Watch tha throne’, Drake dropped Take care and everybody’s favorite ‘Rolling in the Deep’ by Adele, Jackie chan did a funny job on the remix in his movie production Skip trace by the way.
Extremely confident and on my wave, the interview lasted almost 8minutes and you know the magic words “you are not qualified for visa at this time” and so the series started. I have applied for visa 15times in this life (yes 15times).US F1(9 times), US B1/B2 (once), Canada study visa (thrice), South Africa visit visa (twice), you will say ordinary South Africa, I will say ask ojcrown (she was refused 7 times). I can say I am one of the chairman on the board of trustee of the people who say “I am a silent follower/ reader”
From 2012-2014, I applied for F1 5times, same blue paper, same white building,I got a white refusal paper onetime sef. I decided to give Canada a shot armed with my impressive grade in Finance, I got admission from Mohawk and Lambton college respectively in 6days. Oya Canada bring visa, first and second attempt was refused in 1 and 3months respectively (You have not convinced the visa officer that you will return after studies; purpose of visit, length of proposed stay, family ties in country of residence and Canada and Travel history), their GCSM note doesn’t help cause it is generic, what is happening now, oya let get travel history, South Africa here we come, jumped from US student visa thread to Canada student visa thread now I am surfing South Africa Visa thread. Justwise na OGA. Read applications in Abuja has fast processing time, road trip with GIGM from Iyana-Ipaja , fourth week of 2016, got to Abuja late, didn’t book a hotel so had to call a taxi and was going around looking for one around 1am,got dispatched 3weeks later ’ Document not convincing’ even with paid hotel booking, paid tour bus ticket, a very well detailed letter of intent and 900k balance. DHL man that came to delivery package start him own advise’ bro you still dey dis travel matter, I don come drop 4 US admission letter give you now, SA even do yanga refuse u, shey you no go drop dis traveling wahala, I smile and said ok.
I got like 3weeks break from work in 015 and said to myself since US won’t give me F1, let us go try B1/B2, go and meditate at prospect park. Booked a hotel via HRS, GTB charge straight, but why now, this tin is pay on arrival. 9am appointment set, hotel in New York set, got to my turn at the consulate and this ensued;
VO- Good morning
Me-Good morning
VO- can I have your passport
I passed it and he started typing, typed for like a minute and said why are you going to the US
Me- I have a short break at work and will like to go to New York for sightseeing and tourism. Said ok, typed for another 2 and said I am sorry you are not eligible for visa at this time. Just one question, this one strong ooooo, let try Canada again since SA no drop visit visa, US no drop B1/B2.I had paid tuition to Mohawk College prior to my first two refusals, lemme transfer to Lambton College since it is well accredited too and dem get my proposed course of study , transferred over 1.4m for first semester and applied again. Got dispatched 5months later with insufficient funds and purpose of visit, dis people don reduce am from 4 to 2, didn’t even bother to request for GCSM this time.
Then December 2016 came, a friend called one hot afternoon and was screaming on the other end of the line” Drizzy dem don give me, Drizzy dem don give me”, give you what I queried “ visa oooo, visa oo” which country I asked, he said US, but wait oooo, you didn’t tell me you applied again, although okelola had traveled before to SA twice, he had 3 refusal from the US for a B1/B2 application and 1 from Canada embassy , he had gotten it on his second attempt in December, wired tuition via flywire and just waiting to say goodbye. How did this happen, I had organize GMAT and GRE classes for this people o, oh I forgot to mention one of us got F1 in 2012 and he no dey gree reply messages since then ,we had tons of argument on who was going to get a PhD first back in school, now I am FAZE alone. This travel history issue is giving me headache, let me try SA again since na Abuja I go b4, Lagos dispatched approximately one month later with the same story. Okelola visa approval had triggered something that afternoon, he reminded me of our PhD conversation of 012, but the last one question interview threw me off balance and I wanted to send a mail to the consulate to inquire about my status cause I had surf the net and the 214b INA Act don dey get another meaning to me( I no do any misrepresentation, didn't fill anything fraudulent even when na agent, a family friend filled my first two applications, I tripled check b4 submitting so what the fuzz about,make dis people put me on administrative processing sef and confirm all my info ).Applied for admission and visa for my immediate younger brother in January and he got it on his second attempt even with 30k salary, I earn a reasonable fair salary but dem no gree give me.
Shey I go dey write GMAT or GRE again to get funding ontop brain wey don dey close small small, younger bro no even write anything and I get admission and visa for am in a month , make I apply the school sef, my admission came in 7days, same DHL man with a wrong date of birth, had to change it to avoid stories that touches the brain, waited another 7 days for a new one. I wasn’t expectant this time but I was determined to never give up(in Kanu's Voice) and go in one more one more like Desmond Doss, cut to the chase I applied 4 times in one month( June/July 2017) and I have my visa now, don’t even know how to celebrate cuz I don burn steam ,from the UNESCO dream, planned finance support projects all in my head “ 2 international passport with no travel history, 3 SEVIS Fee payment , 5 different admission letter ,10 visa fee payment, 10 DS 160 and of course 10 different VOs, I thank Allah, it has been written ”
For those that have been refused, you only stop when you stop ,those asking what are my chances,na only God know, for those asking what went wrong with their interview, you can never be prepared enough what I said this time wasn’t different from what I have been saying since 012, I was asked at one point this month during the interview why I kept applying, in her words ‘’ I can see you have applied before and you keep coming why do you really want to go to the US’’ I was honest in my response but still got the famous blue paper . I had 8 of those blue papers already. The VO that gave me a last week denied a couple before me, the man listed the UK, SA, Dubai, Tanzania, Egypt and Tunisia as his travel history.
To all those holding this travel section down from justwise, lagosismyhome(World people), imprexious, gboyegaD, Walespring, thesoj, Team16, Jawa, samtol4, omobendel24, nefertitram, keneking, femiaction, samuelUMOH, staggerlee, 9jastar, Seyewest, siga, demoah(came through for my Canada application) kaptainAfrika, Twood(Mr drop it like it's hot,pick it up when it is cold), femi312, fairheart, Austinpee4, jnyuwa02(dis bro got his on the 10th attempt also) sirRiddy, slimy2005, fredoricko, suxes2005, mevisbeek(naija version;sent his SOP sample and guide to me for canny application), dotcomnamename, chrisviral(funny dude),Chapecoense,teepee4Him,texrem( mock interview guru), DeeTus, ladyguinivere of life and the rest of all of yo, I found another family in you all.
