Hello Guys, I submitted a physical application at VFS on 2nd August but haven’t heard anything. I want to go on a vacation from 12-20th September. Any luck that I may hear from SA visa people soon? I’m so unsettled .

Is there anyone was recently refused and has gotten another interview date? Please did you select previously refused on the CGi portal?

Good evening everyone, please my interview at the US Abuja embassy is coming up next month. Please could anyone share good hotels I could stay in that is very close to the embassy. Not more than 40k per night. Thank you. How many minutes is the distance. Thank you.

NaijaGoingMaple:
Those 2 guys were venting and rightly so, but may not have meant "commot ladder wen dem use climb up". You'd be surprised that they are supporting their siblings or relatives to relocate except they don't have any eligible siblings to support, or no other siblings.

Hi Everyone, please I have 2 questions and would be grateful for your response:

1. would one be eligible for student loan if you have a Canadian PR?

2. If the US has refused you study visa twice, Will having a PR help to change the case?

Hello, please when did you get your ITA? Which year was this?

Abercrome:


If you already have an ITA, submit your application. My funds were not up to 3 weeks in my account at the point of submission and I got PPR in 2.5 months after submitting. The key here is to make sure you can explain the sources of the funds in a letter of explanation and attach any relevant documentation. For mine, I wrote an LOE and included a table showing breakdown of the different funds and their respective sources e.g. year-end bonus, payslip for my husband and I and evidence of sale of USDT (a crypto). I attached all the supporting docs to my LOE and I didn’t have any issues with my application. IRCC doesn’t expressly say 6 months old funds just that you must be able to convince them that your funds are free from any encumbrance (i.e. not borrowed).

Good afternoon, please I wanted to know the average time it takes to get passport request from IRCC after submitting all the documents stated in the ITA. I would appreciate your response so I can plan my mind properly.

I don’t believe this. When you book an appointment, it shows on your CGI portal. Is it that he did not even bother to check his CGI to confirm the date that the agent claimed to have booked for him? Also, you send the booking confirmation to yourself and the email sender will be CGI/US embassy email. He did not ask the agent to do this from his portal? Very relaxed and trusting o.

I saw this
Hello guys
Something funny happened to me at the embassy today
Beware of agent ooo
Ashey na December the agent booked and he edited it to July 26

Help me thank God
Avoid agent

Hi Everyone, my friend had an interview earlier this week in Lagos and was issued a white paper under the section 221(g) because the visa officer wanted him to provide additional documents. Please does anyone know how he can schedule another interview so that he can bring the additional documents to the officer and get his visa. Also does he need to pay a new MRV receipt?
I really hope that he doesn’t have to go and select a date using the regular scheduling cause there are no dates�.

Grateful for a prompt response because resumption is around the corner.

Please which location is this- Lagos or Abuja?

ciarasommy:
Please have anyone experienced this before. I had an appointment rescheduled to July 29. Much later when I logged in again to check, I realized it's been changed to August 30. Please what do I do to get back the July date cos I have exhausted the rescheduling option.

Is this Abuja or Lagos?

Check if you can get date in Lagos. Lagos released over 100 slots for 13th July today.

Olu1991:
Please Gurus in the house. My visa interview date is August 18th 2022 and Programme starts on 22nd August 2022. Class starts on 29th August 2022.

Please with this Appointment date. Am I good to go? Or its too close.

Thank you.

This must be Lagos embassy cause they opened slots for July 11 today. I think they want to come in on that day cause applicants are a lot. Abuja rescheduled applicants for July 11 to August earlier this week so I think Lagos know what they are doing. If you noticed, all the slots for July 11 that they released today were for morning hours so I suppose they elected to work half day. Don’t reschedule, if the change their mind they will automatically assign a new date to you.

coconutsiwa:
Hello guys
I managed to finally book an appointment date today. However, I realized not that the embassy would be closed due to eid public holiday. Should I hustle for another date and reschedule or wait for the embassy to contact me.

Congratulations and all the best at school! Please The part where the Visa officer spoke about the other fully funded program and your return to your alma mater in Nigeria, did you include this information in the “reason for refusal section” of your DS 160 form?

Tinafusty:
Visa approved.
Abuja
Fully funded

Denied on may 24th at Lagos

2nd interview

School: Idaho State University

Course: Ph.D. Pharmaceuticals Sciences.
https:///f1usvisahopefuls

VO: what happened with your fully funded scholarship, she picked up a white paper and asked why is your wife not going with you?

Me: she is currently working at**** however she will be visiting me anytime she is on leave. Besides her international passport is not ready yet.

VO: make sure you process her passport for her and her F2 form

Me: Yes ma.

VO: I can see you have another fully-funded Ph.D. scholarship at Southern Illinois and I can see you are coming back to Nigeria to work at your Alma mater ( I added it on a reason why denied).

VO: Everything looks good, I will be approving your VISA.

If any reapplicant who applied under regular appointment was successful today, please can you share with us.

Plannie22:


I know some reapplicants were approved in Lagos o and they chose Regular cause no date has been open in the refused portal. Are you sure your contact told the whole truth about their DS-160? The visa officers don’t even deal with checking appointments. That is done before you enter the visa interview room. Reapplicants were given visa on Friday. Please check with your contact again so that we can know what really happened cause some people in same shoes as your contact had their visa approved in the same Lagos on 10th June.

photoberi:
I guess they just started it. This happened June 10 at the Lagos embassy.

The person acted on general info of choosing regular for the same reason that dates aren't popping up. wasn't even interviewed at all, straight blue paper

beyuadex:
Good evening all, please I need some urgent advice. I applied for EA on Tuesday and it was approved on Thursday. But since that Thursday I have been seeing dates after my start date which is August 22. The first date I saw was August 23 but now all I am getting is September dates and my EA approval is set to expire tomorrow 13th of June. What can I do to get a close date?

Is this for Abuja or Lagos?

Silversurfer1:
Hi guys. I'm sorry if this question has been answered but I need to ask. Still going through all the pages of this section.
I heard its very difficult to get student visa appointment dates. Is it possible to get one between now and the end of July?
What's the best strategy to get an appointment?
Thanks for answering

Keep searching. Join WhatsApp groups so that you can receive update and be part of the group search team. If you are within 60 days of your resumption, apply for an emergency appointment.

Ogiii:

No I haven’t been added

Does anyone genuinely know if bulk dates have ever been released for Abuja? It seems it’s only Lagos that has been receiving bulk dates. Would be really grateful to hear from you. I got denied in Lagos and currently looking to go to Abuja but it seems the earliest date for days now has been April 2023. I am considering reapplying to Lagos as time is of the essence.

Jsadetokunbo:

Reapply for your visa, there will be emergency request for you sir/ma and ill be glad to help for the interview

Would be happy to receive your help. How do I contact you please?

Jsadetokunbo:

I'll advise, apply irrespective of the date available. Then apply for emergency request with 5 supporting documents

My school starts in September so I am not due for emergency yet, plus, I was denied a visa last week so I don’t think I can use the emergency request.

Jsadetokunbo:

Your SEVIS fee will be easier paid, having someone in the US. You can't pay it here if you're in Nigeria because western union isn't working here. I help train applicant for interview freely. If you don't mind you can buzz me up on Telegram

Please can someone share a link to join an active Abuja group searching for dates? Highly highly appreciated.

Guys, I was denied visa and I am trying to schedule a new appointment at Abuja. My CGI portal is showing that my passport is still at the embassy. What does this mean? I can’t find any date when I click the button that previously denied applicants can use to get a date. Does it have anything to do with the fact that the portal still says that my passport is still at the embassy?

Fescoblack:
Applying for regular, is it not going to forfeit the application? Please tell me more about this

On the CGI portal there are two buttons for getting dates: one is for those who have been previously denied a visa in the last 6 months while the other button is for fresh applicants. You can’t book an appointment under the fresh applicant button if you fall under the previously denied category. That would amount to lying and their is a statement to this effect on the CGI portal.

Tinafusty:

There are available dates if u choose 'regular' not 'refused'.

Would that not be lying? There is a warning on the page about lying.

Hi Guys, I was denied visa in Lagos. I’m trying to reapply and get a new date in Abuja but the portal says no available date. Please does anyone know how I may get a date or any group I can join to keep watch? It seems reapplication are in a different date portal and have a tougher time getting dates

I suggest your dad pays the required sum into your account. Execute a deed of gift with your dad and have a notary public attest to the deed of gift. Attach a birth certificate and maybe pictures of you together that would suffice. That way they only see the money (gift) he paid to your account and there would be no need for him to bring his account statement. I used a similar method. In my case, it was my sister that gave me the money (gift). So it was just my account statement and the deed of gift that I submitted as proof of personal funds in addition to the scholarship from the school.

Bayor65:
Good evening house, I have a question. Can my dad loan 10M from a cooperative and put it inside his bank account so that I can use it for my study. I will print his bank statement. My question now is this, can we go ahead and loan the money? And hope the loan will not be a red flag for the VO in charge of my application? He is having 3 or 4M in his account before, so the total plus the money we will loan should be 13 or 14M.
N.B: My application was refused this month I used my uncle bank statement we are not related and we do not bear the same surname.

Hello guys, please I would be very grateful for your thoughts and guidance in my quest below.

Plannie22:


Hi guys, Just a quick question, please. My admission has to be deferred to next year January. PPR had been approved. If I get my passport stamped and I decide not to go to the Canadian school in January anymore and apply to an American or UK school for next year. Will my application for the UK or a US visa next year be refused because I collected a Canadian student visa this year and did not end up going to the Canadian school?

Please help.

Yes! The PPR request just came in.

Fortuneforever:
Congratulations people!!!

Congratulations everyone! I applied on 15th May and just received a biometrics validity confirmation letter. Please what does this mean?

Hi guys! Please I would really be grateful to receive a response to my inquiry.

Plannie22:
Good morning everyone,

I would be grateful if anyone could assist with my query - I applied for a study permit in the middle of May but my application was made using the regular process and not the Nigerian Student Express. My account statement was submitted at the time of my application but I want to confirm if IRCC would at any stage still request for another bank account statement from me.

I want to withdraw my money from my account and purchase dollars to protect it against devaluation. I require this confirmation because I don't want a situation where IRCC will request my bank statement again and I will not have money in it anymore.

I look forward to receiving a response.
