ON EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT REQUEST.

Please do not request for emergency appointment if you were unable to get suitable date for your program start date. The U.S embassy will not approve expedient request that is outside the stated 60-days to program start date. According to the U.S website, emergency appointment will only be approved if requested within the 60 days of your course/program start date as stated on your i-20.

In addition, you must have paid your SEVIS fee, schedule any available date and start your DSFORM if you are requesting within the given period.
I am sharing this as some students are denied emergency request. Don't waste the chances to get a better date. It is not the time to request for emergency. Relax.

More dates will be released for Lagos Consulate and Abuja embassy. Keep checking your CGI account, and if you see new dates, screenshot it and post on this thread so that others can benefit. Do not pay any agent to look for date for you; new dates will be released and you will be able to book by yourself.

A side note:
Remember the rule for a successful interview. Be confident, speak up and be heard and make sure you flow. Create no unnecessary story in your response to the consular questions. Be on point, straightforward, maintain eyes contact. Also, listen carefully when the VO is about to ask you a question. You may need to lean towards the tiny speaker on the right side of the counter window.

F-1 INTERVIEW DOCUMENT CHECKLIST
Make sure you have all the basic and required documents with you
1, SEVIS fee payment confirmation receipt
2, GTB visa fee receipt
3, I-20 (signed)
4, DS-160 confirmation printout showing your passport photograph as uploaded.
5, VERY IMPORTANT: Interview Appointment Confirmation printout showing the same DS-160 ID Number on your DS160 Confirmation (If you mix this number up, you will not be interviewed, and you will have to fill a new dsform and potentially book for another appointment).
6, 1-2 passport photograph of the same you uploaded online on your DS160 application.
7, Scholarship letter or funding appointment letter (if there’s any).
8, Sponsor official bank statement, signed and stamped, showing more than the total cost of attendance in Naira or in USD or other currency available.

All the best for fall 2021 hopefuls.

Number 1 is possible but do you have the other i-20 with you already? infact some school won't even require you to spend a semester with them, they will just transfer your Sevis record to the other school you want.

I know someone (BSC) who got admission into a university and a community college but got his visa with the university i-20 and when he got to the usa, he went to the university and told him he would like to transfer to the community college instead but he gave them good reasons.

They transferred it and went to the community college which was just $4500 per year, he did the best thing than staying out of status. But most schools won't transfer your Sevis record to a different school without you spending at least a semester with them

degxyflexy:
I was wait listed mid March but later given the admission early this month. What course and level did you apply to.

Profile:
Fall admission
Tulane University
Full funding
PhD Chemical Engineering

Here is my transcript:

Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning
VO: Pass me your passport as it is packed for you.
Me: Ok sir
VO: So, where are you going in the US?
Me: I'm going for my PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Tulane University.
VO: What University again?
Me: Repeats it.
VO: Are you married?
Me: No
VO: Do you have Kids?
Me: No
VO: What specialization in Chemical Engineering
ME: Renewable energy
VO: What University did you do your undergraduate studies?
Me: I told him.
VO: Why are you going for a PhD in this school?
Me: My research interest has always been in renewable energy source and storage and I was able to find great professors who are currently carrying out research in the development of new materials for Renewable energy more than other universities that I applied to and got admitted to. I was also offered a full tuition waiver and a graduate teaching assistantship role that offers a stipend that covers my living cost. The student to professor ratio is very nice for a highly ranked research University so I get to interact with my professors more and get more guidance for my research.

VO: What will you be researching on?
Me: I will be researching on new materials for batteries in Renewable Energy systems so as to be able to expand the durability and depth in discharge of renewable energy storage devices while ensuring a smooth integration of this stored renewable energy to the power grid for the use of populace.

VO: I can see that you have a full scholarship here
Me- Yes, I do.

V.O:- Okay. I will be approving your visa. I will hold on your passport and you will pick it up with this in a few days time. He hands me a white paper.
Me: Thank you.
VO: You are welcome.
Me: What am I to do with this white paper again?
VO: it is for you to pickup your passport at your pre determined location. We will send you a mail when it is ready. It should be ready in a few days time.
Me: Thank you.


He didn't ask me for any documents.
