Taking vaccine has nothing to do with your interview at the embassy. Just go with a face mask.

nues012:
If I haven’t taken vaccine, can it contribute to denial at embassy, if the question is asked?

All you need to do is get a new I-20 for Spring 2022 before your interview date for September and you will be good. Speak with the school about deferring, state the reason for deferring is cause of immigration (embassy interview schedule) and that your Visa interview is in few weeks. They should issue you a new I-20. Make sure you inform then that the new I-20 requested is urgent.

Hello everyone, I need your help with a situation. The person in question has a masters in the UK and returned to Nigeria. Then on trying to return to the UK for a Ph.D, he got a denial. The denial was on the ground of false bank documentation and issued a 10-year ban. Now, this time around, he has been admitted to a US school for a PhD, and have the right bank documentation. How would the UK refusal affect their US visa application? Would it affect this at all? Or would the VO consider this a fresh case?

If you're going for a MSc, you'll definitely be asked.. Where you work currently? When talking about what your sponsor does, don't just say he's in charge of a company that drills borehole.. You need to know if the VO understand what it means.. Also, do you have a Thesis for your program

mikeljims:
Happy Sunday everyone,

Please I have my interview coming up this week and I’ll need all the help I can get. I’m open to any form of support or criticism, or maybe just someone to help me with a mock interview. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.

(****** Geophysical Services) which is where I have been working since after my Bachelor's Degree. These extra trainings are not included in a traditional Science master's program. (just incase they further ask why this school amdist other choices)

Who will be paying for this trip:

My Brother (name) who is in charge of the family business. (****** Nigeria Limited) which is a Geophysical Services Company based in XXXXX. We offer consultation, drilling, installation and maintenace of boreholes. And we are currently looking to improve on ways to better protect the environment while at this.


What do you intend to do with this degree?

I intend to return home to take over the running of the Geophysical arm of the company so my brother can retire.

Married? No

Previous travel? No, I haven't had a reason to.


Please if there’s any documents or paperwork anyone think I might need to carry along aside I-20, Sevis payment receipt, visa appointment confirmation and passport; please don’t hesitate to let me know

Transcript.

VO: I see you are going to Louisiana State University, Shreveport for Masters in Information Science. (My I-20 bears Information Science, but my Program is Computer System Technology)

Me: I am going for Masters in Computer System Technology with Concentration in Data Science

VO: (Looks at my DS-160) OK. So what do you currently do in Nigeria.

Me: I currently teach in Catholic School, Our Lady's International Secondary School, where i teach Economics and Statistics.

VO: When did you Obtain your Bachelor of Science

Me: 2019

VO: So what have you been doing since then

Me: After my B.sc i went for my compulsory NYSC where i worked as a Teacher at Kizito Comprehensive Secondary School, Akwaibom. After my NYSC i got employed in a Catholic School where i currently Teach Economics and Statistics.

VO: I see you have a Scholarship of .... Who will pay for the remaining

Me: My father

VO: What does your Father Do?

Me: He is a Major distribution of stockfish and has 3 warehouses of Stock fish.

VO: What do you plan to do after you complete your Studies

Me: I plan to return to my country to apply for the position of Data Analyst in a reputable Company like Nigeria National Bureau of Statistics or the Central Bank of Nigeria. I plan to work with them for a while and establish my own firm where i will work as a Data Science Consultant, i will help Companies in running business and data analysis and make better business policies, predictions and decisions.

She returned my passport, and issued me a green slip and Said sorry you do not qualify now, i can apply later

One red flag here is you're going to a Masters in computer science, but your current employment is not related to it. So why are you going for such MSc? Secondly In stead of saying your dad distribute stock fish, you make it more appealing. The VO might not know what stock fish. Let me know if you need additional help preparing for your next appointment.

Thanks. Just sent you a message.

The US and UK do share immigration and visa information with one another. One option would be to appeal the 10 year ban with the UK. Regardless, there would have to be transparency from henceforth so the person should give a shot with the US but onward only use correct documentation.

Thank you very much for your response. I thought the same too, I just wasn't sure about the outlook on their US application. The time to appeal has passed, I think, as this happened around 3 years ago. Thanks once again.

I sent u an email, i will need to know how best to state what my sponsor does

owagbeba:
I think the VO got the wrong impression that’s why s/he asked, “ what have you been doing?”

Put your answer across, straight and simple: You have been working with Catholic school as an Economics and statistic teacher.

Secondly, A high school economics teacher going for an MSC in computer science is a bit odd. VO might think they are both unrelated. And again this MSC establishes “no ties” to your current profession. It kind of shows your immigrant intent.

Stating that your sponsor is a fish monger is not really the best way to present your sponsor’s status to a foreigner who does not know That stock fishes are worth money in this part of the world.

Repackage and shoot again... you might hit bull’s eye.

I sent u a mail. Can u help me with how best to state what my sponsor does? And how can i modify my application to suit my current employment and establish a tie?

Are you saying it is usually an issue and quickest way of refusal if your current employment does not match or related to course you intend to undergo in your master degree?

Alright, thanks. I have noted these points.

As regards the thesis; for a PSM master’s degree, I’ll be required to submit an internship and project report rather than thesis. So, no I don’t have a Thesis.

Anyone wanting to go to the USA from Germany pm me.

Good afternoon,
How many weeks after your denial were you able to book another appointment. I am trying to get an appointment a week after I was denied in Abuja but it is saying no appointment date available. I want to know if I should wait longer or if there's a problem I need to call the embassy to fix.

After my rejection on June 28, I reapplied and available date was December 15. I deferred till Spring 2021.While wait for updated I-20, I keep checking available dates and re-applying for EA. EA was rejected 3 times at ABUJA from July- August 15,2021.On August 16 EA was APPROVED and I changed to September 24 with the hope that I can still make fall 2021 or just wait till Spring 2022. On August 21 I requested for another EA and it was approved within 25 minutes. Available dates was August 24 from September 24, I could not pick the date. It was so close and I stay in Lagos while interview is Abuja. (Friday 21 is not far from Tuesday 24) .After consulting my friends and wife, I picked August 24.
