My visa was approved in Abuja on 21st December and my passport status is still showing administrative processing. It's 9days now.

I am checking the status of my passport and it's saying

"Your passport is still with post."

Please, what does it mean?

You will have to start afresh to pay the fee and fill the DS-160 form.
Again, you're not guaranteed finding a date after you're done with all those.
Just chill first.
He mustn't fill a new ds160 form.

Yes you, I just called them now, and the lady that picked said MRV are used twice. So if u see an earlier date u can.

I am keeping my fingers crossed right now because after been denied emergency appointment there’s nothing one can do but to wait and hope that an early date is released again.

I pray that God will help and answer all of us in this category.

Hoping for the best guys.

Thank you

If I see this information on my profile, can I still reschedule my appointment if I see an earlier date?
Note: I have not cancelled an appointment before.

Seems we all into this together. As at when I got the mail, that particular date they asked us to schedule wasn't available. I proceeded to booking an emergency appointment using the date I scheduled for in December. Enquired from them if that ok, only for them to mail me and say I should follow the instructions if i wanna use the nov 13 date. My challenge is it showing me a warning that if I cancel I will need to pay. And there is no emergency drop down at the top left of my page, probably cus I have booked once or something. Have you tried mailing them?

I pmed you

It was an unexpected question so it would have taken a lot of convincing, the VO is already prejudiced and you will need him/her to be willing to listen (which doesn't happen frequently). In my case, I would have said "it means i will be dedicating half (50%) of my time to the assistantship which is 20 hours per week". I will say this b4 stating that the funding covers all my expenses.
N:B- when I said it wasnt the right answer, I didn't mean it was your fault. I totally blame the school. I blame the school because it is an ambiguous term. I also got a 50% assistantship in a school, whereas, in my case, it wasn't full funding, I had deficit, the funding would have covered my tuition and paid half of what a fully funded student would earn. VOs too think they know everything.
Also, I think you should work on the response you gave for "Why a master's in met. Engineering.
We are all in this together. Sorry about the situation. I remember you saying your resumption is oct 12 and assumed you had left
Thanks bro.

sonofakin:
It was actually the answer he gave plus the fact that the VO wasn't enlightened enough. 50% GA in his case means half-time assistantship which is equivalent to 20 hours per week. Some schools have it that way. I blame the school for assuming everyone will understand the ambiguous term

Please, how is it the answer?

Hollyholy:


Wow this fully covers your cost. Book another date quickly, I'm sure you will get it this time around with the new i20. Even though my contract offer didnt say I have 100% funding, they didnt state that on my i20.

Your school should give you a new i20 without that 50percent stated there.

They have done so. I hope printed copy will be accepted. Cos I don't have much money to ship the original at the moment.
Travel / Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Paragontek: 10:39am On Oct 20, 2020
Stevenssen:

I feel the reason is your i-20 that said 50% . The vo felt you were lying. If it has been updated then you will get the visa next time.
Yeah, get the letter if you can

I am trying to rebook appointment now. Saw 11 Dec as the earliest date. But as clicked on "previously refused" it started showing me no dates available.

Hollyholy:


My GRA contract letter quoted 50percent but it didn't appear anywhere on my i20.

Can you screenshot where the 50percent appeared on your i20?

Also my i20 reflected estimated cost for 9months although my school is currently working on it to reflect 1year and make the assistantship amount section upto 47000usd

What duration did yours reflect?

My interview was on the 9th of October. I was denied visa. I will share the transcript below.

VO: Good morning
Me : Good morning sir
Vo: Where in the US? (or why the US like my mind is telling me may be I didn't hear him well)
Me: University of Missouri

VO: why Master's in Metallurgical Engineering?
Me: Because I want to specialise in foundry technology and steel making.

VO: have you traveled outside the country before?
Me: no, I have not had any reason to travel outside the country.
VO: who is sponsoring your study?
Me: I have a graduate research Assistantship. I will be working with Dr. Sey gig on a research, the x of y. Hence, the department is fully funding my study.
VO: I can see 50% Graduate Assistantship here. That's strange. I have not seen such before.
Me: (I tried to explain) the 50% is just saying I have 50% full time employment. Also from the I-20, there is no deficit there.

Vo: are you married?
Me: no, I'm single
Vo: any child?
Me: no child.

VO: sorry I will not be approving your visa. This yellow paper will explain why.



Please, what do you think could be the reason?
I have mailed my school and they have updated my I-20, removing the 50% there. (that's actually how the school write full funding for students, I confirmed from others). Secondly, do I need to get a letter from the school to explain why they updated my I-20?

Also, is the reason on the yellow paper same for everybody, is it generic?

Thank you.

I just got my updated I-20 and my resumption date is now 19th January. However, I had filled arrival date on ds160 to be 17th December, which is a month and 2 days before the resumption date.

Do you think this should be a problem?
