After I got admission from the school with admission letter and tuition, I got scared cos the COA has increased from 50k I saw to seventy sth or maybe I didn't get their tuition right when applying but they gave me scholarship of 8k. I applied to 2 other scholarships but was not given. Then I was told to pay 1k enrollment and tuition deposit before my I20 can be sent. I was confused like deposit ke and visa is not guaranteed, was confused but I later did.
Fast forward to interview
Date June 4 2021.
Time 10am I had to snap another passport there cos the first has dot or sth.
VO: good morning
Me:gm ma
Vo: you are going to *** for your master in management sciences
Me: no ma, I am going for my masters of science in supply chain MGS is the sevis id for my school.
Vo: ok, what will this course do for you.
Me: with this course I will be able to apply to major supply chain companies in Nigeria like Nigeria brewery and Nigeria bottling company and also I will be able to push my project am working on which is green supply chain, the impact of supply chain to the environment and it's effect on the environment.
Vo: have u travelled before
Me: no ma
Vo: who is so so ( my sponsor)
Me: my aunt, she is paying for my education
(No document was asked, just my I20, it was even while waiting for my turn I realized I forgot my aunt' statement of account at home. I was like should I go print another or just risk it )
Vo: ok I will be approving your visa blabla
I can't even remember all she was saying again
I just want to thank God, cos while I was sitted waiting for my turn the only thing I kept saying was Jesus son of David have mercy on me and he did.
What I want to say is don't let anyone discourage you, pray and pray noting is impossible for God to do.

Thank you. Location/description please?
nestkojex:
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.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Ehizy007: 3:58am On Jun 05, 2021
You do not need to pay another mrv fee. Simply Update your DS 160 number on the CGI portal. It will be reflected on your visa appointment confirmation. Then reprint. Goodluck

There are hotels around but it depends on your preference.

*Demlis hotel can be found inside the Federal Civil service club and it's along Awolowo road. Just a few minutes walk(1km or less) from the Embassy or you find a means to get there.
Price range: 6-10k

*Bayland guest house is another hotel located at 54 Forsythe Street and less than 8 mins to US embassy.
Price range: 5-8k

Westwood Hotel Ikoyi located at Awolowo road too.
Price range: Unknown

Atlantic Hotel: Location is very close to USE
Less than 8 mins

You do not have your SEVIS ID written on your DS-160 and Visa Appointment page. Don't mislead people.
Pefuele:


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.

If you're looking for hotels that is close enough to the embassy (Lagos). There's a military Barracks like 3mins walk to the embassy and it's 10k.

Hello,
Please who can help with the next important things to prepare for that needs money after visa approval from experience. I understand that flight money is required but, I know it's more than that. Please Help.

Also, where do people stay few days on arrival since you don't know anybody, or how is it done. Bosses in the house, your experience is needed Sir's/Ma's

Please does DHL operate on Saturday? Other sites on google have it that DHL operates on weekends from 9:00am to 2:00pm, but on their google business account, Saturday is closed for business.

After visa approval

Ask ISO for the closest airport to campus

Buy your ticket

Mail your international student office (ISO) to ask for cheap hotels close to school for temporary stay while you get a permanent

Inform ISO of your arrival date so that they can wait for you on arrival

Convert your money and put in an account you can access out there.

Good morning all, I am new tothis thread. I’ve been pursuing Canada student visa and have been denied twice reason is « I do not convince the VO officer I will return. I intend coming to the US for studies.
1. I want To know if career progression is a criteria for getting visa approved ? 2. I have two kids ages 3 and 2 who are US citizens. Can i apply for study visa with them? I mean can I state that they will accompany me while I study? Or will that be a red flag for refusal ?
Your response is highly appreciated

Hello All,

While applying for a new visa appointment, the part to select visa priority is not showing on the website. Wanted to pick "previously denied" but I still have it as "Regular"

Meanwhile, The page still shows "Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate"

Can I go ahead with that or what is the way forward?

Thanks
