@OyotunjiUsa is a national treasure!!! Just look at the highest response he gives to people on here (these are not mere responses , these responses are atleast 95% correct) and he does all these for free!! The last guy who was denied in Abuja gave his transcript and asked for help no single except this man gave his opinion. Yet, you guys still bash him and call him crazy names. This is unfair and you guys can honestly do better. @OyotunjiUsa God bless you ooo atleast giving people answers and solutions most of the times is RARE in this Nigeria not to talk of naira land and you do it effortlessly, God bless you

I have responded to him before I saw your quote. But those guys are annoying tho, I will not tolerate them. I'm the worst troll they will ever temper with in this forum. Let me divulge somethings about me as evidence and you can fact-check it: I'm a troll who has soiled the reputation of many reputable nairalanders, I have more than a thousand of accounts I use in trolling people here. With this particular account, I have a post where I lied that I got a visa to the US but was still seeking for undergrad degree then (200 level now), Just. Wise moved the post to front page. I know exactly what the problem of those guys is, it could even be same person using different accounts to attack you because you provide clear information. That guy Fearlessfang is a scammer, he's still the same person as Danburuwa or whatever he call himself. The information you give is opening people's eyes and no one patronizes his scamming travel agency reason he came to muddy your reputation. I know his type. I have actually stopped trolling now because I have many important things doing. Sometimes it take weeks for me to log in to nairaland. I'm not disregarding you but if those guys quote me vomiting junks, I'll send them to hell through their passage gate to earth. They have never experienced the sourge of a burning liquor in their milky veins.


Hey 🤠

@ObamaMessi. Wow ! This is wonderful.

1. I want to believe that your writeup there is 85% true and at time like this i am most happy because people are now seeing their motives.

2. Nevertheless, for the sake of other Nairalanders and the international communities , please don't answer anyone of them again. I don't want to fan the flame of resentment.

Good morning all, is it a good thing that my sponsor is in USA, or should I change it?


Hey 🤠


1. Yes it is a good thing that your sponsor is in USA. Your sponsor can also be in China, UK, Uganda, Umuahia -Nigeria or anywhere in the world.

2. Your sponsor's location does not add to or deduct from your chances of securing visa. There are many many Multimillionaires and
Billionaires who lives in rural areas or undeveloped countries .

3. The bad side of having a sponsor in the USA is that if the sponsor entered the USA with non immigrant visa (or illegally) and overstayed before he or she eventually secured Residency then it will have " A Chain Effect " (USA consulars will believe that you will do the same) on you.

4. Talk this aspect out with your sponsor and he or she can always transfer (funds) to the next family relative who can as well stand as your sponsor in case he or she has committed the sin of number 3 above .

Good evening all. Please I really need advice and help and possible tips ace my second interview. I had my interview at the US embassy in Abuja on the 13th of May 2024. When I got to the VO, she smiled first and we exchanged pleasantries.I was interviewed by a female white VO. She looks middle aged like around 47-51. She had previously denied a girl before me. Two other girls were also denied but by different officers. They were going for undergrad too.
I was going for an undergrad programme. I'm actually in my second year of college here in Nigeria. I'm 19 years old.


VO: Pass me your i20 and passport
Me: I did as expected

VO: Why did you choose university of St. Thomas?
Me: Because of its liberal art focus and small class size. The student to faculty ratio is 13:1 which means I'll have access to my professors. The small class size will enable me make friends easily and also get to know my professors well too. Being part of a community is important to me.

Also I've been able to get in touch with 2 of my professors, one of which is the neuroscience chair of my dept. (I mentioned her name) and also with the professor of psychology( I mentioned her name too. ) Psychology will be one of the courses I'll be taking in my first year. I'll be taking a total of 16 to 20 credit unit courses. Also I have friends that are currently in the university and they've told me about their positive experiences there.

( She wasn't even saying anything or looking at me throughout . She was just on her computer. )

VO: My plans upon graduation
Me: My plan is to come back to my home country to work with the National Institute of Medical research. I hope to specialize in neurodegenerative diseases . I'll be dealing with brain tumors and Alzheimer's diseases.

(She still didn't utter any thing. She was just typing .
As I was talking, one of the men in the entrance of the door interrupted me by talking with the VO. )

VO: Who are my sponsors?
Me: I told her.

She then finally asked me if I've been to the US before and I said no I have never.


VO: Types for a long time and she said unfortunately I won't be approving your visa . She gave me a pink paper.

I later asked her why. She smiled and said I'm free to reapply again. She told me the reason for my denial is in the paper given to me.
I was so sad. My parents were sad too. They encouraged me and they decided I'll reapply again. My resumption date is supposed to be in the 26th of August🥺🥺.

I really need advise please. I still don't know the reason till now.


Hey 🤠


@coluwabe.


1. To me, the major reason i could deduced that caused your F-1 visa denial is " Pre-Memorized Transcripts (answers ) which you even did in a wrong way.

2. Naturally , University undergraduate students does not really deal directly with Professors, but in your answers, you put too much emphasis (mentions) on professors as if you are a graduate student , even an Msc student s relationship with a professor cannot be compare to that of a PhD applicant not to talk of a Bsc student .

3. Also , your answer to : Why did you choose University of St. Thomas is not reasonable and convincing enough because you can easily make friends in any institution and it seems your main goal is to go and worship a particular Professor which is even out of focus for an undergraduate student .

4. Another debacle is your graduation plan answer which is ; to work with the National Institute of Medical research. Did you have any employment Bond contract with NIMR ? Your Post-graduation plan should be straight Msc or to help develop family business or to apply for STEM-MBA, or after the compulsory NYSC etc.

5. The consular who interrupted your interview was a senior officer (my personal reasoning ) because they don't usually interrupt an ongoing interview except in the case they want to verify something together . I think that officer signaled your inability to qualify to your interviewer.

6. You gave little info on " Who are your Sponsors ? This denotes that you have combined different sponsors (according to your Form I-20) because the question is supposed to be " Who is (not are).

7. Someone needs to study your over all profiles and presentations. Communication training is your no 1 , follows by DS-160 information.

Chaiii thank you so much, this is very painful! Why do we get just 1 emergency request after paying that amount for visa fee. My dad get cancer which his treatment is in June 27 2024 but his interview date is September 2025(tears) we provided everything you listed but just the DS-160 which the embassy confirmed too. I paid for 520k for both my mom and dad. Now paying the same fee again and the embassy said even if I paid for another visa fee, I am still not eligible for another emergency request.

I just checked my mom portal and saw that she still has her “Emergency request” and I also found out that it was her DS-160 that was invalid because it had the old DS-160 and not the new one(I forgot to update it while scheduling) Can I use her emergency request button and apply for both her and my dad? Thanks


Hey 🤠

1. No !. You cannot use mummy's appointment for popsy. Daddy is the Principal applicant. Therefore, don't tamper with mum's cgi for now , let's focus on dad.

2. You have to pay another MRV for dad but call the cgi 1st .

3. Besides, you actually provided wrong DS 1-60 confirmation. Perhaps you or the person who handled the initial request lacks adequate knowledge of the policy.

Good morning.

My visa interview that was meant to hold today was rescheduled to November and the Convention that I need to attend is in July. I didn't see the mail about the interview being rescheduled until today when I got there.

1. Do I qualify to get an emergency appointment?

2. Do I need to pay another visa fee to get an emergency appointment?

3. Even if I have to wait till November, the ds 160 form has been submitted. The reason for travel will no longer be valid by November. How do I go about the application then?

4. I would really love to attend this July. Is there a way around it?

Thanks guys for all the information you dish out here.


Hey 🤠


1. Yes you are qualified (If you have not b4).

2. No. Your visa fee (MRV) is still valid.

3. If you want to wait till November then find a related conference (coming up in the USA by Nov / Dec 2024 . * Or Look out for a 2-weeks short trainings that is related to your jobs or business , coming up in Nov/Dec or January 2025 and apply. * Then fill another DS -160 form and update it in your cgi profile after which you will need to print out a new visa appointment letter from your cgi portal.

4. Yes there is a way round .

I applied for a medical emergency date for my daddy, but I got an email that it was denied because I did not provide the DS-160 confirmation page. I tried submitting it with the right documents but I could not find “Request for emergency request on his portal so I used the “Provide feedback option and also sent the request via emails too. Please what can I do? His travel is very urgent for medical. I believe they would have approved it if DS-160 page was provided.


Hey 🤠


1. Medical Emergency Appointment request denied as a result of lack of DS-160 is kind of not right to me, but if you received the email personally (not that an agent or someone forwarded it to you) then may be.

2. Naturally, MRV , USA contact hospital (doctor/specialist) invitation letter , Nigeria hospital (doctor/specialist) referral letter and payment (hospital bills deposit ) receipts are the documents i thinks are sufficient to request for a Medical Emergency.

3. I might get the call number for USA based callers for you but you may ask a family member to use the new call number i provided to call the cgi team first.

4. But let me be honest with you. it seems you re going to get another MRV for Daddy because once the Emergency Appointment Option disappeared it's not coming back again.

@excel1960.

1. Did you read the answer given to you by @fearlessfang (He wrote that you should find a more legitimate means to enter the USA) ?

2. Ask him what are the more legitimate means ?

3. Is conference B-1 visa OR study F-1 visa not a legitimate means to gain entry to USA ?

4. That's how far he has confused and misled lots of applicants on Nairaland with his over-protection of America which is not his fatherland.

5. You can enter America through any visa type . What the American government do not want or like is to jump fence into USA via Mexico or to cross illegally from Canada or via cruise ships from the Bahamas.

5. May be @fearlessfang wants you to wait till the USA embassy re-opens visa lottery to Nigerians or he wants your brother to file for PR for you.

Hey 🤠


1. Don't apply for visiting visa in order to visit your uncle in the USA , the B2 visa stamping would be 10% over 100%.

2. If , however you are a very very rich individual with great ties in Nigeria then the score can move up to 25% visa success over 100%.

3. Don't give up on USA F-1 visa (because Canada study visa is more costly and takes time) . Nothing good comes as a piece of cake. You have to study (Google) the early life of successful people like Abraham Lincoln in order to keep you moving and emulate how they overcame failures .

4. Expectations makes you live longer . You have to keep expecting (visa re-application) something and make moves if you want to be successful in life.

5. If you are a professional person you can go for conference or short advanced study (also depends on your age).

Or should I just apply for the Emergency interview already? Please anyone with a valid answer to this can help me out, thank you in anticipation.

1. Within 60 days of program start date " typically means 60 calendar days from the specified start date of the program = 2 Months.

Hey 🤠

1. Yes she can get F2-visa now. The husband will still follow my previous opinion on sense 2. Renewal or New application is the same. But providing that the husband is still going to classes for his PhD degree (forget about his expired passport, he is still a valid student in the USA).

Thank you so much brother.

So the same thing apply if the wife is requesting her initial F-2 visa? For example, the husband has been in the US doing his PhD since the last 3 years (his F-1 visa has expired last year cuz Nigeria issues 2yrs F1 visa), and his wife is in Nigeria all these while’s completing her Nursing degree. Now, she’ll be done this year June, can she still apply for an F-2 visa from the beginning knowing they get husband F-1 visa expired last year and he’s not even renewed — provided that her husband is able to get her an i20 from his school


Hey 🤠


@irumole1975.


1. Yes the wife can renew her current F2 visa because the husband in the USA is still continuing with his PhD education (despite the fact that his visa has expired since 3 yrs back) .

2. But the husband must request a new (dependent) Form I-20 for the wife in order to renew her F2-visa. The reason is that the new I-20 must carry a travel signature (that is valid for every 6-months) from OIS.

3. She cannot go and pick up the old Form I-20 for automatic renewal. She need follow sense 2 above.

This issue pertain to someone I know in a way. Thank you so much for helping folks out here without collecting a dime. May God reward your efforts with good things

In essence, what if the husband is in the USA for the past three years (now his visa has expired ), and his wife is now trying to get an F-2 visa from Nigeria.., does it mean that the husband has to renew before the wife can apply for F-2? Or the husband’s i20 and the wife’s i20 suffice


Hey 🤠

A2A.


@irumole1975 . A big amen to your prayer. Thank you .


1. In specific term , every F1-visa holder inside USA has indefinite stay via Form I 94 (D/S) provided that he or she maintains a valid Form I-20 ( ie applying for new program or continue to study ie Msc after Bsc , or continue study related activities eg internships etc) even if the F1 visa he or she got from Nigeria has expired .

2. Therefore , the husband who has been in the USA for the past 3 years does not matter if he is still doing or engaging in the activities that is related to his original F1-visa .

3. The wife in Nigeria cannot use the old Form I-20 ( which she used to secure her first F2-visa) to renew automatically. She needs a new Form I 20 to renew and she cannot request for it without the husband consent .

4. If the husband is still keeping the pace with his 194 and Form I-20 (eg from Bsc to Msc , or from Msc to Phd or from Msc Biochemistry to Graduate Certificate in cyber security or STEM MBA ) , then the husband can because of the wife request for a new Form I-20 (one for him , one for the wife) which the wife can now use to renew her F2 visa back in Nigeria or anywhere.

5. If the husband has deviated or changed status from F1-visa to another visa right now in the USA, then the ONLY option for the wife is to apply for B2 visiting visa (she cannot use her expired Form I-20 to renew).

6. The best time for the wife to have been able to renew with her old Form I-20 is immediately after the end of the husband program but since the husband did not request for a new Form I-20 then she has missed that opportunity (but the husband can still request if he meets up with sense 4 above).

7. The wife may however apply for her own F1 visa from Nigeria by beginning from application to schools in the USA or apply for B2 visa to visit her husband .

@OyoTunjiUSA, can I ask you a question please?

For a married F-1 student, let’s say his wife got an F-2, and they decided that the wife will only be visiting him in the USA twice a year. Assuming that the husband visa expires after two years and he’s not renewed or something, doesn’t that make his wife visa also invalid after 2years and she probably won’t be able to re enter the US until she and her husband renew right?


Hey 🤠

A2A.


** @anamo. Your question is a teaser but let me use impromptu reasonings .


1. Husband F1 visa expired while he is still in the USA makes the wife F2 visa automatically expired while in Nigeria , therefore the wife cannot travel again until she renewed.

2. The husband Form I-20 is still sufficient for him to keep going in the USA despite the main visa expiration (it's not compulsory for the husband to renew) if he applies for advanced program of study , internships, etc.

3. The husband may not renew the main F1 visa until he eventually changed status (ie to H-1B, H1-C , Lvisa etc) all through Permanent Residency.

4. The husband may help the wife by applying to advanced program in his Host-University so that he can receive a New Form- I 20, thereby apply for New Form I-20 for F2 visa renewal for the wife.

5. By number 4 above, the husband does not Need to renew visa (the new I 20 will keep him going ) if he does not plan to travel out of USA. But he has given the wife the opportunity to renew her F2 visa via drop box in Nigeria .

6. If the husband does not want to do any stress and decide to face his studies on expired F1 visa but valid I-94 D/S ("duration of status.” This means the student can stay in the US as long as they maintain their visa status) , then the wife only option is to apply for B2 visa in order to visit her husband .



Best Wishes 🙏

Thanks for the detailed response sir. I think I’ll try to reapply if I’m able to get another date before august. But sir do you think it’s actually worth it since the school I’m going to didn’t give me any funding even though I finished with a first class last year and scored 322 in gre, leaving me with a deficit of 40k. Should I just apply better schools for 2025 fall for funding sir?


Hey 🤠


1. You finished with 1st class and you scored 322 in gre but the school did not give you any funding ?

2. If your claim above is right then no better school in the USA will give you any funding because more than 5,000 Universities in the USA has almost 95% identical admission requirements for international applicants.

3. Why not change department or program of study ? On the other hand, the University you applied to may not have sufficient funds available to International students in this session (thereby justifying your re-application to another school).

4. If money is not an issue then go ahead and reapply. Otherwise, cool down to research the reasons for your denial .. But don't focus on scholarships or lack of fundings .

5. Did the consular officer or the 214b denial sheet given to you states lack of fundings from the school as the reason for your denial ?
