Boss which side you de because 50 degrees no cold ooo but nice advice to avoid stories that touch, lol

Yankee101:


It's all about layering in winter. Wear something under that hugs your skin, then add thicker layers of clothing that you can easily take off on the plane, during screening at the airport and hot places indoors so you don't pass out.

Wear a thick overcoat, protect your legs with thick trousers, gloves, head covering and muffler for the neck etc.

Any temperatures you see that is 50 F and below is very cold
For example 50 F in C is (9/5 ÷(F-32)) = 10 C. Which is really cold.

Lol @ all those comments. You don't need to be afraid, it's not a big deal as you will be just fine with the right set of clothing. Not ad bad as people paint it to be☺☺☺

This line got me laughing for real. Working overtime. And I am coming to minnesota, I learnt temperature goes as low as -10 degrees Celsius.
Na die o.

The information on the ds160 and all other document is correct, the error was on the appointment schedule.

LagosNIV:
Hello OTUNBACODED and Yeanca -

You can fill out a new DS160 and contact CGI Customer Support to have it associated with your interview appointment.

Hello Niv,

Dear vo,

if the wife of a student who is with him in the us on an f-2 status, wishes to advance her study by going back to school, what does she need to do or do she need to come back to Nigeria to apply for a student visa?

thanks

Dear vo,

Thank you for your response to questions. How do a f-2 status spouse of a student on F-1 visa attend school is she so much decide to further her study?

Thanks

lawmerchant:


Its better she leave the application as it is. Trying to update marital status at this point will not only require submitting a fresh application, it will further complicate things for her.

I disagree with this. change of address or marital status does not affect application result. any of such change could be communicated to them through a Case specific Enquiry

cc @herdeytohun

Na wa for CIC ooooo. Application submitted since 23rd of March & yet no update at all, not even a medical request mail. sent a Case specific Enquiry over 3 weeks ago which de replied dat my request has bn forwarded to appropriate section. Also sent a mail to Accra immigration over 2 weeks ago and all de replied with was that my application is in queue for processing. 18 weeks wait no be beans/moi moi. Abeg any meaningful advice is needed. Tho i av a plan B I still prefer Canada.

meekandholy:

LagosNIV:


It's not that you were favored, it's that you were able to talk about all of the programs that you applied to and didn't continuously sound like you were speaking off a rehearsed script. I remember this interview because it was my interview.

I would also point out that this is a much abbreviated transcript of what actually occurred...

wao. .............. so speechless

na wa for this people ooo, tho I can't contact vfs since I did online application. I sent a case specific enquiry 3 days back and still no reply from them. any other advice would be appreciated.

please any other March applicant in the house that havent heard from cic? this wait is killing as I really need to make up my mind in 1 week .

Dear Sir,
Thanks for the good work u are doing here. my friend had a us visa which she travelled with. when the visa expired, she was qualified for renewal via drop box which she did. her new visa expires in 2 months and she is yet to travel with it. Her fear now is, will she still be qualified for renewal via drop box if she did not travel with her current visa or will she have to go for a new visa interview? Her work schedule hasn't really given her time to go on vacation in like 2 years, reason for her not using the visa.

Thank you visa officers for this wonderful thread. I was denied a b1/b2 visa in March and started following this thread and also asked questions in your interview session with Mr Oseni earlier in April/May and I utilized advices given and behold today my F-1 visa was approved. so grateful and more grease to your elbow.

AshBammy:


Congratulations More of God's favour in Jesus name

Amen. Thanks sis

OjaP:
Congrats OtunbaCoded. I knew you would get it, your mock transcript was brilliantly written. Congrats and make sure to start connecting/follow all the US mining companies on LinkedIn.

calfavour:

I and meekandholy are heading to North Dakota this fall. kind enough to visit for drinks?

Thanks dear, that won't be a bad idea.

DareFadi:

It is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that sheweth mercy (Romans 9:16). Today for 11am appointment in Lagos my visa was approved.

vo: good morning
me: good morning ma and how do u do?
vo: let me have your passport
me: here they are ma, I handed her my passport , I-20 and sevis receipt
vo: tell me about your study plan
me: I am going to south dakota school of Mines and technology for Msc Mining Engineering & Management and I will be taking courses such as *************, this courses will help me with updating myself in the area of mining and also open me to new mining techniques. d Nigerian government is now working on making mining a major source of revenue generation as the crash in oil price as affected the economy negatively hence more qualified hands will be needed in the mining sector and this degree will give me an edge. (VO was just nodding)
vo: who will be funding your study
me: my elder brother, he works as *** with *** & I also have some personal savings to support myself since I currently work. (vo continued typing for like 2 minutes)
vo: your visa has been approved.

It was just God's grace,favour & mercy as i did not write any test though it was not required from my school as my undegraduate was in same field.

Thanks to everybody that posted their transcript as i have learnt alot from here. Special thanks to Ojap , DareFadi & Warriboy21

Hello OTUNBACODED,

We don't typically look at documents during interviews - so you will most likely be asked to explain who will be sponsoring you.

Regards,
Student Visa Team

thanks

abujaniv:


Hello OTUNBACODED,

You will need to convince the officer that you can pay for your studies - that being said, you can prove that in many ways, an account statement being only one of them.

Regards,
Student Visa Team

thanks for the response but how else could it be proved apart from the account statement? will a copy of his employment letter be sufficient?

thanks

students need to show financial capability to pay tuition and upkeep during visa interview. can I show a statement of account that is 4 months old pls? as my sponsor is currently indisposed and to get a recent statement of account is almost not possible before my interview. thanks I'm anticipation of ur timely response.

opeoluwa00:
Hello all.. Does it mean all March Applicant has been called for Medical, that no one could answer the question? Please, help answer the question. Who has applied since March and still waiting for Medicals.? Please, I have applied since March through paper route, but no response, no request for Medical. What could be going on?

definitely not

dickoflife:
Its not as bad. I will be using a 4 months old statement when I leave next month and its fine. As long as you can explain to the officers that you followed the 6 months embassy rule on statement validity.

pls what's d 6 months embassy rule on statement validity
