Good morning everyone, I’ve been given admission to study in USA but didn’t collect the is-20 form because I needed a scholarship because I couldn’t afford the fee, woke up yesterday to see 2 scholarships awarded to me with $18k off my tuition. Now I’m to apply for the is-20 form but my fear is the date for interview. It’s just so close. Can I book interview date down or wait till the form is out. Confusion wan wound me right now because I don’t know how long it will take for the I-20 form to be out with processing and all. I’m to resume Jan 18 for spring. It’s just too close!!! Please anyone with any advise....

Please I just sent you a message I would love to verify some things from you

Hello,

I read the News on punch via the link sent on the thread, for the Lagos surge and they stated it's for those wanting to renew their F1 visa.

I just applied for an ER on Monday on CGI Portal, I haven't got any response yet, I don't know if as a fresh F1 applicant, I can submit my documents too.

I appreciate any favourable response from anyone.

Thanks.

I sent in my documents for the Surge interview date(Lagos) even after it was stated in the released statement that” previously denied students won’t be considered”. I sha sent in the documents yesterday and i got a Date finally for Dec 1st.

Send the documents and wait for reply . It took them 17hrs to reply , yours might be faster or slower. You have nothing to loose.

Mind you i refused to book any appointment or request for ER due to my previous experience got denied ER severally had to pay for this new MRV. I was on the verge of paying an agent for date sef. Hope this helps anyone in need of answers.

Back to me. Pls i need someone to have Mock with ooo. Make una help me too. T for thanks

Hello guys, while applying for my ER I mistakenly put 1/3/2021 installs of 2022 but I Odo better explain with dates on the reason section.

Is it okay to assume that they will understand that the intended date of travel is a mistake?

Good day everyone, I got an admission recently and my interview date is very close. But I have problem with my self confidence. I fear I will stutter and mess this up. Any help would be highly appreciated

As someone that stutter from birth, I can say I completely know how you feel. You have nothing to worry about, the VOs will understand and give you time to speak. Just look them in the eyes, you will be fine. Goodluck

@lilbaby23 please how did you send your documents for a surge interview to Lagos without booking an appointment? How did you do it?

Because I was denied visa on 2nd of November 2021 and I have reapplied but haven’t chosen any date yet cos I’m not seeing any date in November 2021 and December 2021. My school resumes in January 2022 for spring 2022.

Kindly help a sister

Hey guys ,
So, I have been working in the banking sector for about 2years now . I just got a fully funded PhD admission in chemistry with GTA.

My highest degree is a BSc in Chemistry.

My question is ; how best can I convince the VO that I will be coming back to Nigeria ?? Please I need answers

Congratulations.
You can say you would be coming back to take up a lecturing job in your alma mater.
Please did you apply to PhD directly or you applied for Masters and was considered for PhD. If you don’t mind which school pls…

I got admission to a seminary school in kentucky for spring (January) 2022 and the school requires me to come with my wife or that my wife comes before I finish first semester as been biblical to be close to one's family. Though I haven't gotten my i-20 because I have not provided the sponsorship documents required neither have I applied for visa.
My challenge is my wife is four months pregnant, won't this be an issue during visa interview with VO ( VO may be thinking I want my wife to go give birth in the USA so that the baby can be citizen) or how do we go about it?

You're right with the bolded, they gonna think this but give them strong reasons to why you'll be coming back to Nigeria even if its to lie(in this case).
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by MiamiePizza(m): 12:32pm On Nov 18, 2021
I recommend anyone going for spring or fall 2022 to search and apply to schools in Missouri. They have relatively low tuition and acceptance rate is high for both undergraduate and graduate studies. They even give out scholarship like breakfast... I made some research and I learnt the reason the tuition fees in the state is low is because the state is really poor, and the crime rate is high, this make even housing to be cheap. The goal is to get admission and japa, the crime rates shouldn't scare us na.

White VO
COA: $24,000


There were 2 VO's counter 8 and counter 9, the Asian guy and the other white guy i noticed the Asian guy first question was always have you travelled out of Nigeria before, once your answer is No, he asks any random question and rejects. I was praying from the gate till I met with my VO
The Asian guy called next it was supposed to be me but i dragged for like 5 seconds and the other white guy called next then i went to meet him.

TRANSCRIPT.
VO: Good Morning
ME: Good Morning
VO: You are going to study Engineering
ME: NO I'm going to study industrial and human factor Engineering.
VO: Okay
VO: So you are an Engineer
ME: Yes I am
VO: I see you have a scholarship how do you intend to cover the rest
ME: Ooh I have a 70% scholarship on my tuition, my aunt would be covering the rest ( praying in my mind that he doesn't know enough mathematics to calculate by looking)
VO: What does your aunt do
ME: Oooh she is a distributor for dangote cement
ME: I have her bank statement if you would like to view it
VO: That won't be necessary
VO: So what would this degree do for you
ME: Oooh my Company is going through a transition phase where we are moving from a crude oil based approach to a gas and renewable energy approach this transition is opening up positions for mid-level management with my experience and this degree i would be positioned to fill one of these openings.
VO: Okay
VO: Keeps typing picks up the white paper and gives me says this white paper would tell you all you need to know about picking up your passport
ME: Thank you very much.

P.S i noticed that a lot of guys dress poorly, if you are going for academics and you claim to have been working please dress the path dry-clean your clothes and look smart also make your stories as short as possible my interview was about 2minutes /b] [b]and pray non-stop God bless everyone

You can still change to Lagos with the same MRV

Secondly I think Abuja is denying EA especially if you have been denial visa before in Abuja.
