Yes, you're right. Your answers were very weak.
"How did you find out about the school?:
Through a former research associate of mine. We met last year through a research conference during the pandemic, and his professor liked my work etc Always go hard on the research angle, always.
"What do you do?"
Software Utility Manager. anything "online" is a red flag, printings, registrations are ordinary words. Thumbs down

You have been denied countless times before. You should know better than to rush down to the embassy for your F1 interview without preparing like your life depended on it.

Thanks for the advise.

Moshkom:


Quick one:

From your profile, it looks so desperate that you just want to enter The USA by ‘any means’, to the VO not Moshkom. Lol

- Tried the B category 3x. Now, not just F1 but an associate degree.

You sound 28yrs +. Going for an associate degree is NOT the best idea for you (Yeah, “people dey get Visa with Associate Degree”) ask yourself: The ratio of approval, maybe 2 of 20 applicants.

You already have a record of “I sha wan enter USA” with them, don’t forget (sad truth).

To be sincerely?
You profile is too basic, you need to strengthen it.

Esp your work and your degree.

Degree: Wetin do MSC or Phd wey you no fit apply

Work: Your work role sounds like what you can easily stay after study in the USA to do, “Online work”; which they don’t want.

You need to change the job roles / functions. Like, tell them your Cafe (if you can even get a better subs for the word ‘CAFE’) is attach to the state government ‘something thing; something’ where you help with tutoring of government schools on internet courses or a registered and accredited jamb center (just lamba them) not just a CAFE (too basic).

Overall, if you can RE PACKAGE your ENTIRE profile the next time you’re going. New school (no apply to school in same states that you made the propose B1 attempts) etc

TRY get a better funding offer (full funding, if possible) too, from the school because it would show you are a genuine student to the VO, with that they would remove the thought of Japa from your profile (those B1 attempts) and focus on the F1 this time around. Don’t forget the next time, it would be a new VO, so you won’t get same questions like the last time, reason you should go with an overall, better profile this time around to avoid another next time.

PS: Above are my own Opinions. It might count; it might NOT count.

Good luck in your next attempt, Champ!

My honourable Moshkom, I do appreciate your response.
Thanks for the corrections and suggestions.
I will like to DM you, here is my email: kemmy.comfort@yahoo.com
Will wait for your response thanks.

I didn't read this the first time. Just saw the post again. So you are going to a Community College for a program to become a Web Developer. Web Developer is a big thing just like a Data Analyst. I don't think you will get as much information and knowledge compare to a university (the VO probably thinks this way too. Another thing is "cafe" the VO probably doesn't know what this is. I guess that is why the VO couldn't pick a point on how your job relates to Web Development. The VO may see it as wanting to by-pass some internet restrictions going by your explanation too.

So here is it, you may want to apply to a University instead of a community college (unless that's not a red flag anymore which I doubt)
Find proper technical terms that defines your job.
There was no question on funding but please don't leave that out. It's a huge significant.

Best of luck

Thanks so much boss, I really appreciate your response and contribution.

Walspring:


Sorry about your delay.

I don’t know your age but going for associate degree with your age after 2-3 delayed is no go area at all because is like you telling VO you want to go and start polytechnic at that age after you have been out of secondary school for over 10-15 year and you were previously delayed.

What many of us don’t know is not about going to apply and face VO but doing the right thing and cover loopholes that could trigger delay.

God will help us all. Amen

Thanks so much for your contribution, I really appreciate sir.

Hello my people, gurus on the platform, senior Moshkom and others, I awaits your advice on this.
Thanks.

My previous F1 transcript in Abuja
First F1 attempt.
3 previous B1/B2 denial in Lagos alone.
Now Associate Degree

There were 3 Consular Officers on desk, two men and a woman at the middle desk. I have been praying to meet the woman cos I observed she is calm and reasonable with applicants, she gave a young couple that even the wife's pregnancy is so glaring a visa with smiles and wish them safe journey to US but denied the next applicant she interviewed, yet I wish I met her but I was called in another window.

To the interview ....

Me: Good morning, happy new month
VO: Good morning, I can see you are going to M..., how do you find out about the school
Me: From online, from my research online
VO: What course are you going for
Me: Web
VO: Have you travelled out of Nigeria before
Me: Yes
VO: What do you do
Me: I have an internet cafe where I do online registrations, printings and lots more
VO: How is your work related to Web
Me: (Without confidence and lowered voice this time) I have websites which I operates but there are some difficulties I'm facing which google always give me reports to debug but I could not so I want to go for Web to be able to rectify the issues.
VO: Sorry you are not qualify for F1 visa now.

I was so weak and heavy to even talk to anybody, people that are outside waiting to be called in can also read my feelings. It was after my interview that one of my friends now hint me about Nairaland.
I am available for corrections please.

[quote author=Debbiey post=111552962]*VERY LONG POST ALERT‼️*

I'm here to say a BIG thank you to everyone who helped me correct and trim my proposed transcript here.

My Visa was approved @ Abuja yesterday 31st March, 2022

CONGRATULATIONS Debbie
I pray my APPROVAL transcript too will be published like this.
Can I contact you please, I will be sending you a mail now.
Thanks

Rascomono:
April dates are available now at the Abuja consulate

Are you serious, please can you confirm if its still available by this time of the evening, I will wait for your feedback.

Thanks

morgang:


Just an observation-

Your visa was denied and you didn’t bother sharing your transcript so that others will advise or possibly learn. Not a good practice on this platform.

I wish you good-luck with your date search and ultimately, visa.

I'm sorry for that, I have no idea about this thread then, it was after the denial that a friend now told me about this platform. I will, by the grace of GOD share my approval transcript here soon.
Thanks for understanding.

philip2014:
Apply for Emergency application ASAP. Hope you have paid for sevis.

Yes I have paid for SEVIS. Thanks so much for your alert.

Abdomox:


Expedite it. You qualified since March 9

Thanks so much,

I was denied Emergency request cos my admission previously was for Spring 2022 so I requested for expedition last year and I was granted Dec 1st 2021 at Abuja embassy, my visa was denied so I deferred my admission to summer 2022. Now there's no closer available date and I got a reply from the embassy after requesting for emergency again that they cannot grant emergency for the person that was denied of visa of recent thats why I was looking for another way to get an appointment.

ShyShyBobo:
