Congratulations!!! I hope this motivates someone out there! Visa approved in Jesus name for me !!
Adedayo65:
Hmmm! I eventually got my Visa on the 9th June 2021 (After 3 denials, First one was in Lagos, second and third were in Abuja). All thanks to God, it has ended in praise.
And to fairheart, thanks for everything, its been a long way coming, God bless you, I’m so grateful.

To everyone still trying to get their Visas, I wish you all the best.

My interview was in Lagos, 6:45am window 7, a very beautiful woman about 40+.

GRE = 314

Graduate Assistantship = $33k
Deficit = $7k

Transcript

Vo- Pass me your passport and I20
Me- I did
Vo - What is your plan ?
Me - i plan to go for my masters in Agricultural Economics at **** and I will be working with prof *** who’s my supervisor, together we will be working on the economic and environmental impact of Oklahoma agricultural production system, we want to see how well these producers are complying with the various existing environmental and economic laws.
Vo — (she no even send me, she just dey type)
Vo — who’s paying your school fees (this was a major part of the reason I was denied the last 2times)
Me — I have a full funding (I no even talk about deficit lol)
Vo— ooh ok, (Na just then the woman start dey check and scrutinize my i20)
Vo — Where do you work?
Me — I work with *******, an environmental consulting firm and we basically conduct EIA for our clients
Vo — congratulations bla bla bla

N.B— if you have been denied before, make sure you study and understand why you think you were denied and work on it before going back, if not, one might just keep getting refused over and over.
In my own case, I understood it was coz I was going for a second bachelors and sponsor statement was also an issue and I gave it a break, worked on those and I applied after almost 2 years (went for my NYSC and worked a while)

I wish every one nothing but the best.

Good Day people... Gurus in the house please is there any advantage or disadvantage of applying to a private university. I need people with experience to share more light on this what's the influence of this with admission and visa.

Check Wakanow. Chibertha said Kenyan Airways is running a promo. Although my advise would be to book the following- Qatar, Lufthansa or Delta grin ((Amen?) ( In this order as your bank balance can carry) .From what I heard, they have the best services. Have a blessed week ahead!

Hey, I said cheap and you went on to mention Delta? grin Kenya Airways is not cheap for my departure and destination. I've checked Wakanow but was wondering if there are other relatively competitive pages. Anyways, thank you and stay safe always.

Good evening everybody. Please I need your advice on this. Kindly help

Tshendy:
Good Morning everybody
Please I posted here last week about my wife case where she used my surname in filling her DS-160 for F2 visa but her maiden name is on her passport and I-20. I was advised to filled another DS-160 form which we have done. But the challenge now is that she used that same surname to secure VISA appointment and while we try to update her profile, we noticed that can't be changed. Please what do we do? Or can she just go like that?

Check travelbeta or you can type in Google the airline you want and check their prices from there.

You're welcome. Qatar is relatively cheap. I've also heard about sky scanner app to compare prices. You might want to check that out.

Hi,

Are you still getting this error?

Post your previous transcripts here so that experienced people can assist you.

Alright. I don't remember exactly how my interviews went. But I know that during the first interview the issue was funding. I had not secured a loan at that time and I naively thought that the financial letter from the school was enough (don't laught at me)

During the second interview the topic didn't even come up. But by reading transcripts here I understand that I didn't convey enough passion in my answers.


I'm better prepared now so I just need someone to roast me and make sure that I'm making sense and I'm convincing enough.

I would really really really appreciate.

Thank you in advance.

Please, guys, help in clarifying this.
I need to get my transcript from my school before applying to schools.As I don't have student copy

My school is asking for the address where I want the transcript to be sent to.
I don't have student copy yet. I will get my own student copy in the process when my school is sending to the address I want it to sent to.

Is it advisable I registered with WES to get my transcript evaluated before applying to school.
That will accept my CGpA?.
Is it compulsory I evaluate my transcript before applying to schools?
The transcripts can be printed normally or if they insist, they should print it to a "To whom it may concern"

Hello Everyone, you guys are doing a nice thing helping people on this forum. I was denied F1 visa at Lagos office last week and wish to reapply to Abuja. Please do I need to fill a new Ds-160 and do I need to create a new profile in the Visa application portal. Thanks for the anticipated response.

Good afternoon guys.
Please I am in a fix.

My husband and I got admissions in the USA.
I got a full tuition waiver, but my husband doesn't have funding. Different schools but same state.

Should we both apply for F1 F1 or should one person apply for F1 while my husband apply for F2.
Can he change his status in the USA to F1. He really wants to do this masters and he cannot defer again.
Please seniors I need your Honest insight.

Nagode sosai!
your husband may apply for f2, might be easier for him to get as he has no funding and Yes I read that you can change F2 to F1 in US by filling out form I-539 with your form I-20 and passport details at the US immigrations, but then it takes like 8 to 10 months before it comes out so you see the disadvantage? However many grad schools will allow you to enroll as a part time student pending the approval of your form I-539, make of this information what you can, the choice is yours, good luck to you and your hubby.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by angels1: 7:28pm On Jun 14, 2021
Hello everyone I have some questions

1. Does the immigration officer have access to forms you sent to school.
2. Is there a problem if you are going for a second masters in US?
3. When filling DS160 the portion that states if you are traveling with company what is the best answer. I intend traveling with my husband but he does not yet have his passport and my I 20 does not indicate I am traveling with anyone. If I fill i am not traveling with anyone can he apply for f2 if I am still in the country?
4. When I sent my proof of funds to school I filled cousin but my i20 shows family. If asked who is sponsoring me can I say uncle or brother I have to say cousin?
Thank you.
