Helloo guys, can one find cheapest engineering university at 12000 pounds per year?

Walspring:
If you take commercial bus they will drop you at cms and you walk up to the traffic light and turns right and cross to the other side you will see those buses going to VI this should be before 6.30am, but if its not 6.30am just walk down to the pedestrian bridge and you see them there.

When you board it just tell the you will drop at check point and when you get there cross to the other side and you will see the embassy car park the keep going straight or you ask people at the gate post the embassy.

If you take BRT their last bus stop is at that pedestrian bridge after Leventis bus stop.

N.B-- kindly be careful and look left and right when crossing to the other side.

thanks for the direction

Pls anyone in the house who knows the direction of the US embassy Lagos from Orile ?

Pls VOs in the house, if a person tells the VO that she has currently a course of study in Nigeria that will end 1 or 2 weeks after the very day the VO will interview the person, on top of that, the Person's course of study start-date in US is still 2 months ahead. will it cause a total denial?

Logically, their new policy will be effective from December 1, if you go there before December 1, you will definitely be attended to. Also, I'm sure you must have filled the new ds160 before the mail came in. The date will equally reflect on your New ds160, so worry less and pray more. Favour is your birthright.

Thanks. U got it. U re there with me. U got the logic.

Walspring:
If you go to embassy with incorrect ds160 confirmation code, automatically you will lose your appointment date according to the new warning they sent and it wont be amend there...

You must change your ds160 before your interview date so as not to lose you appointment date and visa fee

thank you Wals. I think I will go with the 2 ds160 in case if the new one doesn't work I use the firstly filled one.

innovativeame:
I hope u followed the procedures after filling the new ds160? If you haven't, pls do. After filling your new ds160 also ensuring that all the info and answers to questions are accurate, proceed to your appointment page, click on the Provide Feedback, send them a message that you want to change your ds160 code. Attach a scanned copy of your passport and the new ds160 confirmation page. You will be responded to within 48hrs (maximum). Afterwards, follow the rest steps as given by them. You may have to reschedule your appointment so that the new ds160 code will reflect on your appoint confirmation page like I did. Best of luck in your endeavours bro.

Thank you for ur response. But if I follow that procedure, the no 1 problem there, will be that I will loose my appointment date. See, I want a way that I can change my ds160 code without loosing my appointment date. If I take my new ds160 to the embassy at the date of my interview, which is before DEC 1 , can it be amended there?

innovativeame:
There is no cause for alarm. It's a general notification sent to applicants, so, relax your nerves . Did you filll a new ds160 form ?

I filled a new ds160 form, I hope I still have the opportunity to use my newly filled ds160 because the deadline is DEC 1 but my interview comes up before DEC 1 2014 . Pls gurus advise me......

Pls VOs in the house, if one tells the VO that she has a course of study in Nigeria that will end 1 or 2 weeks after the day the VO will interview the person, while the course of study start date in US is still 2 months ahead. will it cause a total denial?

Walspring:
Okay but its just 3 months but they do ask for 6 months stating from June, July, August, September,October and November....

But why just the 3 month starting from September,October and November

Pls U mean they do ask for 6 months bank statements, its amazing, but I have sponsor who makes lots of transactions, if I calculate the transactions made for 6 months, they cover more than 30 pages, U mean I will be expected to carry more than 30 pages of bank statements to the interview instead of having 2 or 3 month bank statements which are within 6-month of the interview date?

osahons9:
Six months? Or must not be less than six months old? Which oh. I have three months SOA oh.

I think the key issue here is the SOA must be dated within six months from the date of the interview.

Please guys when one is already in US, is it doable for one to defer ones admission at a particular uni and transfer to another uni for a particular term, without transferring his sevis record from that uni to the other uni he wants, for that very term?

dotman2460:
Not true. I did that hand gesture several times.

OK thanks

honeyad:
You musnt believe everything you hear.. just go there and do your thing.. build that confidence during your interview... The phobia you have for VO, if only you can dedicate that to God.. these people are mere humans like you and I ...

Yea thanks, that's right. But I don't have phobia for VOs, because I know they are trained but they are still creatures not God. I only asked in order to gather techniques required for a successful interview.

Pls house some people say that when one is demonstrating what one is saying with ones hands before the VO, the VO will consider that as an act of lie. Pls house is that true?

Hello NL
Since I had health related problems in the past years that made me to drop out of school, can I cite that as a reason for my gap years after high school since I also have a medical report for it?

If VO ask about what I have been doing in the past 5yrs and I say: I had a blue collar job as a packager at Bleep company from 2010-2012, then from 2013 l enthusiastically engaged in foundation course on mechanical engineering at Bleep polytechnic to have strong background in this field of study that I wish to study in US, which will terminate 15 Dec 2014 ( the reason for date is because I don't have certificate for it if asked, and my interview is 2 wks b/f this date). So how will this sound to the VO?

Nairalanders please during interview, do the VOs
normally ask applicants that have undertaken
unofficial jobs and lower courses like foundation
courses past years, to present their employment
letters and foundation course certificates
respectively.
Because in my own case I have none, but have
better reasons to present verbally. Na wetin
people like me go do if dem ask for concrete
evidence? Pls house me una chuk una mouth for
this! thank U.

Bro listen up.., this is no dice game that can be tosed...if you don't make your research well and answer interview questions in an expected way, you will be refused, if you sound like someone that's not interested in studying, you will be refused, if you sound like someone who's not interested to come back after studies, you will be refused... The truth is if you had an experience in another field that doesn't correlate with your course of intention, it doesn't mean you will be seen as an intending inmigrant... Some peeps on this thread had over 8-10 years interval after their ssce and still got visa... You will likely be asked what you have been doing for 5 years and if you tell the VO what you are writing on this thread... I can bet you its an automatic denial.. I'm not a VO but you don't make a fool of them... There are things you could use as coverup..; something's can't be said on a public forum like this for several reasons.., pm gurus on this thread and get a better insight of what to expect!

U be good adviser bro. U know in my own case, I just opened up my weaknesses, so that VOs in this movement go put mouth foram . If I hidam, U know I go become a problem for me before the VO at the embassy. Thanks

zeezahbee:
click on the "contact us' and sent them an email, they will ask for your new ds160 confirmation number and a scan copy of your passport

thanks. It's been done. They're now dealing with it.

GolfingDiva:
What was your score? And which school are you heading to? PM other gurus, eg, Bigfrancis, he's also a specialist at closing gaps.

my TOEFL score was 70. SUNY Buffalo state NY, public 4yr uni, they didn't ask me for TOEFL because I'm nwa 9ja .

use the feedback menu on the appointment page and send your details it will be updated for you.

thanks and God bless U

I was trying to change or update my visa application confirmation number in the appointment profile but it didn't work. It displays ' Error occurred while loading a Visualforce
page'. I have tried this for 6 times. What will I do to solve this?

Horayce:
Since you said you've been employed full time doing informal jobs(also called blue collar work) to me that's a legitimate explanation for your educational gap. You could cite choice -- eg. to join the army, settle down have kids, experience the real world OR circumstance -- lack of finance, death of a parent/sponsor - as reasons why you did not/could not pursue your education right away. If your application is complete (Test scores/transcripts/financial docs etc) i see no reason why you should lose sleep over this bit. The VOs are human afterall and would not deny you a shot at your dream if you present a convincing and coherent case.

Thanks a lot. I also have TOEFL IBT . Success can be predicted!

slimmy05:
you can change it. Fill a new ds160 and add the confirmation code to your appointment page. Click on update information and you can fill in the new ds160 code

thanks. if i change the ds-160 confirmation number, can it affect my appointment date? can i also obtain another appointment confirmation letter showing the new DS-160 confirmation number and my original appointment date?

House pls once DS-160 online visa application form has been submitted is there any other way to make changes to it?

Horayce:
if you've been working that's the perfect answer. Some people go through this route to figure out what they want from life before committing to a degree. Just say you've been doing blue collar jobs out of circumstance or choice.

thanks for ur reply, please could u help me clarify what u meant by " doing blue collar jobs out of circumstance or choice' thanks again

GolfingDiva:
A game of luck? Hahaha, you crack me up here. Obviously, you've been using some funny expressions ever since you became a member of this online forum. Do not use those words on the VO, except you want to cause trouble for other people coming next to you during the course of interview

Don't be so in a hurry to travel abroad and review the application you submitted online. Rectify your weaknesses first and go grab your own visa.

thanks for ur reply. But can I still make changes to the DS-160 visa application form that I have submitted online?

GolfingDiva:
This kind of person can easily get his visa after he might have finetuned his skills here. So I am not laughing at him, but would rather give him some tips on how to succeed.

Self-sponsor will do the magic. Another is body language and then, finally, is at least a standardized test.

All in all, 5 years is not so much if he's really busy and can demonstrate it during the interview. After all, someone with 6 years gap got his visa for Bachelor's Degree.

Indeed, it's never too late to learn.

l understand u perfectly clear bro. But not that I engaged only in extra moral classes for 5yrs! NO. I even attended this class on part time basis. I also work full time. Unfortunately this job is totally informal and also presenting job related matter may give a wrong impression to the VO that my intent is to immigrate. Besides that, I've submitted the DS-160 stating that I engaged in foundation level course w/o including the type of work that I've been doing since 2009. So house what should I do.

Conversely, is it compulsory that I must be asked what I have been doing after graduation? At times this is a game of luck.

honeyad:
You not being straight bro... Tell us the course you wanna go for and what u considered as extra moral classes... Be plain and let the gurus give you the right advice that would see you through your interview

l wish to major in mechanical engineering, for the
past 5yrs after high school I undertook remedial
or extral moral classes on these subjects physics
maths chemistry f/math and English which are
relevant to my major. So please what's the smartest procedure to follow?
