Thank you very much house.

Looks like you’re prepping for an exam, not an interview.

Your “how did you learn about this school” section reads phony to me. You can’t convince me WIU has such a fantastic econometrics program than Harvard, MIT, UPenn etc. keep your answers short, honest and straight to the point.

Don't mind him. No agent told him that rubbish
TWoods:


You're not confused... you're only looking for others to affirm your dishonesty and intent to deceive. You are one of the reasons visas are so hard to get for Nigerians. Go ahead and explain the discrepancy in your age to the VO as best you can.

Optima Hotel. 8k for first night and 7k for subsequent nights. The embassy is just a 10 minutes walk from the hotel and the light is good as well.

Kindly recommend affordable hotels.

You will see the barcode on the DS-160 confirmation page and on the VISA Interview appointment page. Below the Barcode you will see the DS-160 confirmation number. This number must be same both on the DS-160 confirmation page and on the appointment page. Otherwise, you will not be Interviewed.Also,your SEVIS ID on the appointment page should be same as that on the DS-160.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Nobody: 1:08am On Jun 05, 2021
Thank you for your timely response. Yeah now I get. I was worried maybe hes talking about the black vertical lines (barcode). Both numbers under the barcodes are actually the same but those lines are not. I guess Im still good.
