Please...concerning the emergency appointment,
1) will i be able to schedule another appointment if my emergency request is accepted without paying MRV fee cause i have cancelled my appointment once
2) while request for the i sent the sevis payment coupon instead of the receipt, please will have effect on me if it will is there anyway i can send them the correct document

Malone122:
No I cannot respectfully
—- Book a date, currently there are no dates but when dates become available book it like that

—- then the emergency request option becomes available, click it and input your tentative date of arrival , brief reason why you want emergency date , upload your I-20 and sevis fee payment that’s all
And wait for response….
Either they approve your request or deny it


And if a closer date comes up you have the reschedule option….

Goodluck !!

If you mean sevis fee, I'll advise you don't try it. The sevis fee someone intended to pay for me using money order is yet to reach its destination after 2 weeks. I had to pay another sevis fee using western union.

Bank Statement in the last six months is fine. You should get a closer one like a week to your interview date. Best!

Replaxis:
VISA APPROVED
DATE :24TH JUNE
LOCATION:ABUJA
COA: 44k
NO FUNDING

Naira Marley come interview too with two of his guys but were sent back due to missing documents . Though after bringing the complete documents , they came back and did their interview.


Me ; Good morning (smiling)
VO: Good morning (was smiling too)
VO: Pass me your document
Me: passed my I-20 and DS160

VO : is this masters in accounting ( pointing to my I-20)
Me : yes that’s correct( while smiling and looking at him directly in the eyes )

VO: what do you do ?
Me : I’m an accountant , I work at my dads accounting firm….

VO : Cuts in ( how many staff working at the firm )
Me : about 35 , I also have my ICAN , I manage my dads fuel station and other business. I’m also involved with a charity organization and Ecowas which led to my appointment as an Ecowas Youth ambassador.

VO : cuts in , can you say that again , I didn’t get it
Me : Ecowas Youth ambassador ( he nods)

VO: Have you traveled out of Nigeria before
Me :I have never traveled out of Nigeria before because everything I want to achieve is here(Nigeria)

VO: who is sponsoring (points to the I-20 again )
Me : My dad , he’s also an accountant , a business who owns two fuel stations and also into in real Estate, the estate we live in now he’s the owner

VO : I’ll be keeping your passport(gives me my I-20 and DS160) then brought out the white paper ; take this paper , visit travel.state.gov etc .
ME : Thank you, we both smiled (vo and I) , I left .

Note : No other document asked except the I-20 and DS160

This interview was about 2 minutes


On 25th June(Friday ) ; they messaged that my passport was ready for up but I left it till Monday before I picked it up.

I didn’t do as if it was a do or die affair, i was very calm because i had the mindset of it’s not the end of the world and I also have other opportunities here , so if it works fine and if it doesn’t fine , life continues.

I have never posted here but I’ve been following this thread since January and I learned a lot from transcripts.

Congratulations to everyone who already got their Visa and I wish everyone going for interview success.

Time: 8:45am
Date: 6th of July, 2021

I got to the embassy  very early. I was checked at different entrance and all the securities demeanor speaks good for me and was lovely. I had to sit and watch while the ones that got earlier time went in and when it got to my time and turn, the passport photo I took along was rejected and i had to rush out to snap another one for 1500 which was okay for me as the ultimate goal here is not going back with my passport.After fulfilling all the basic checking in and requirements, we started moving on the seat bit by bit till i was ushered in with some set of people. Immediately I got in there were three VOs at the counter attending to Applicants, there this particular VO i saw and my spirit said this is your VO. She was attending to a lady going to Cambridge and i said to myself at a point in the lady's interview this girl will get the white paper, God let me also get the white paper...Then it dawned on me when her visa delayed based on 214b. All I noticed was the VO's range of questions were easy to manipulate. And behold, she waved me to come i was overwhelmed with confidence because I knew my case will be different.

V.O: Good Morning

Me: Good morning Ma'am

VO: pass me your passport, DS160 and I-20

Me: Passed ( Did the thumb checking phase)

VO: She quickly scanned through my i20 and was like you are going to NCAT for your Masters in Physics?
Me: Yes ma'am
VO: I can see you have an assistantship from the department
Me: Yes ma'am from the department of Physics
V.O: Tell me about what your research is about? (i talked alot about researches on my Ds160).
Me: I wanted to start running down what my professor does and what the research is about (then she cuts in)
V.O: The Research in relation to your course
Me: Just gave her what I always felt was too  casual ( sperm motility in biophysics)
VO: Come again...
Me: Sperm Motility; an aspect under biophysics.
VO: Oh!! Sperm Motility ( I guess my pronunciation was whack ��) So who's Sperm ?
Me: Mammalian Sperm.
VO: What will this Course do for you?
Me: It will give me the requisite skill and knowledge to be an astute Reearcher and Lecturer( Ds160 is important).
VO: You want to be an academician?
Me: Yes I want to work in the academics.
VO: (she looked at me and nodded)VO: (Types for like some long seconds) picked the white paper then gives it to me and started telling to make sure I go with my I20 blabla. I fixed my eyes on her like i was listening but menohearshishi ���.
Me: Thank you ma'am.

I just want to appreciate you all for all the  love and support during the entire process and wait times. The calls, support and care was just too much. I love you all fam. One Love.

ESTA denied option for the F-1 visa may not be the right choice.
There are more options there that suites your visa status.
