Go back to previous 10 pages you'll find what you're looking for.

Summary; select any appointment date you find available. After that, you'll see the "Emergency request" bar click on it, and state your emergency ; compose a compelling message and attach your i20 together with your Sevis receipt. Make sure you include your program start date in the message. Ideally it's should be approved if your PSD is within 60 days, also if you haven't been denied within the past 2 months (although this is subjective).

All the best.

I have an issue with people who go for interviews and then they don't come back to post their transcript. A few weeks later you see them back here asking one question or the other.

For example, someone here is complaining of his/her visa status being on administrative processing for a while and asking if there is any solution. Meanwhile, a cursory look at the profile shows that he/she didn't share his/her transcript after the interview.

The reason why this place is such a huge resource for 'study in USA' information is that people are sacrificing their time to voluntarily post and share their experiences and knowledge on this platform to help others.

It is totally unfair to always come here to seek information and then run away without coming back to drop feedback or transcript.

Let's do better please

I've spoken about this, I guess it's human nature. People are naturally takers than givers. Which is why I place alot of value on those who act otherwise.

I think @ Nig Patriot has explained everything you need to do in details. Log on to the CGI, on the left side of the page. Click on emergency request and make sure you write a convincing reasons why you needed the expedited date, attach your[b] i-20, sevis payment receipt[/b], admission letter etc. Good luck

Hello Guys,

My visa got denied today by the korean guy and I honestly think it's because of funds. The money in the account was only about 2 million more than the cost of attendance.

Transcript

VO: I see you've gone to america before
me: Yes I had a exchange program that lasted for about 6 months in 2015

VO: I see you have a family member in the US
me: Yes he's currently on OPT

Vo: Who will be paying for your stay
me: My uncle

vo: what does he do?
me: He's a medical doctor at ___ hospital?

vo: Can I have his statement?

Looks at statement, could only be doing what I assume is conversion to dollar

vo: Sorry you do not qualify for a visa at this time.

I want to know what I can do please anyone. Is it advisable to reapply for Spring 2022 and fund the account or add my brother as a co sponsor?
Any advise will be appreciated

Just be positive…they sometime take time to run some checks on you before giving you a green light. Might be bank statement verification or anything, it could even be with the sch u applied to or the one u graduated from….Just be positive.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by deolubajo: 6:19pm On Nov 10, 2021
The VO asked me if I had travelled out in the last two weeks which I did not. So I suspect it is a case of a name hit. I am quite patient though.

You were very close to getting this visa. I hope you know the USA embassy uses 420/$. Was that the rate you used that made it 2M above your cost of attendance

No I used 560/$, if I use 420/$ it would have been about 5m left. Please what do you advise I do? Should I reapply an fund the account further or?

Good day Bosses in the house please I need your guidance

My sister contacted me that her friend got admission with a uni in Tx and needs statement of acc that have more than 20m so I ask her what about the family ties with the person and she said the friend told her she’s gonna state it that I’m her step brother (same mother ,different father ).

So I’m here to ask if that’s possible and if it won’t lead to visa denial on her own part

Secondly me self go japaa once I’m through with my undergraduate studies and hope it won’t affect me

Kindly assist me Bosses undecided

You want to spoonfed, but it's fine.
Click on "continue" then you'll see a calendar showing dates. Select anyone you find convenient, after doing this. You'll check the left hand side of the icons and see "emergency request"then proceed and do the needful. I'm sorry but if you still don't get it, I have no other explanation to give you.

2MILLION MORE THAN THE COST OF ATTENDANCE FOR A YEAR OR THE WHOLE DURATION OF PROGRAM.

Thanks alot for the response,

What's your total cost of attendance? Check the tuition rates of your course from the school website. The funding letter should come along with your admission letter. Or most times it comes independently. You ought to know this by now, if you're a genuine student. You can't go for an interview with this naivety.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Heya93: 7:48pm On Nov 10, 2021
I just got a mail from the embassy. They attached a form that requires my info, including bio data, work experience, addresses lived in the last 15 years, social media handles, email addresses and phone numbers used in the last five yrs, and also names and date of birth fo all my siblings.

For a reason I don't know, I was not able to download my ds-160 form after completion. Immediately I clicked to download, I was logged out, and when I logged in, I couldn't access it again. I had the options (till date) of downloading only the confirmation page ( I don't know if anyone has experienced such).

My issue now is, particularly in work experience, my dates where not accurate. The only two jobs I filled in are my undergraduate trainee and an online freelance editing jobs, of which there was no official termination. Hmece, I just chose random dates. Now, bcus I can't access my ds-160 form, I can't remember the exact dates I filled in. Could this have detrimental implications? I'm just confused. Please help if you can
Heya93:
Hi Nairalanders,
I v been following this page, and it was indeed helpful in my preparation for F1 visa interview, which held just some hours ago. However, I have an issue, which I wish to know if anyone has encountered.

I was served a yellow paper, instead of white or blue. The section ticked by the VO reads "your application requires administrative processing. You will be sent supplementary questions by email. Please complete the form and return to ...@state.gov".

Please, what does this mean? Do I still have a chance? Or is it a denial?

My conditions:
I'm going for a funded PhD program with a deficit if $2600, which my sister will be taking care of. For the interview, the transcript is as follows:

Vo: good morning and please pass me your passport and i-20.

Me: good morning (passes the docs).

Vo: I can see you are going to xx school.

Me: yes sir.

Vo: why xx?
Me: because I found a faculty, Dr. ... who does whose research is perfect in line with mine. Dr. .... (I explained further his research work).

Vo: (nodes) what's your plan after studies?
Me: I will return to Nigeria to take up a job in a research institute, where I ll utilize my accumulated knowledge in solving Nigeria's energy problem.

Vo: (nodes and started typing) i can see your sister will sponsor the deficit.

Me: yes sir.

Vo: what does she do?
Me: she works with Bleep company.
Vo: (nodes, brought out a yellow paper and tucked on it) your visa application cannot be concluded kow. We will send you a mail inq couple of days requesting additional info. Quickly reply to the mail, we will get back to you.

Me: thank you sir.

Please, where could the 'coma' originate from?

It could be as a result of your degree major or travel history, or a name hit. I was placed on administrative Processing because I studied Biotechnology in Russia for my MSc. It will only take some time but you will eventually get your visa, if you do everything they ask you to do right. I had to wait for 60 days in my case.
