Good evening, please I need you to put me through how I can pay my sevis fee, and I would like to join the Lagos appointment search group thank you.

Thank you so much for your response @chibertha. I will do well to reach out after my interview nextweek. If you do not mind, can I contact you on whatsapp. Also, Please can you share possible interview question. Most of the ones I have been seeing are mostly for an applicant without dependants. But since in my case I am going with two of my kids. I will really appreciate as much Info as I can get. Thank you

....

Please guys a quick 1, can I pay for visa appointment b4 paying for sevis or submitting ds160?

Hey People,

I have been wanting to ask this question here in this group.

I got admission into CFNI Dallas to undergo Advances Diploma in "PASTORING"

Fees: $15K

SPONSORING: My Uncle who happens to be the Owner of one of the Biggest Real Estate Company in Lagos with over 10years in Real Estate Development of Houses. I also intend to part sponsor myself.

*The Question*
I applied with the whole family, and the School gave all my 4kids and hubby I20 document.

The Question is, What chances do I have applying with the whole family for a 1year course in USA, Noting the fact that we have travelled together as a family to USA BEFORE

Note ; I intend to explain that I run a real estate company here in Lagos Nigeria with over 7years experience.

The black woman interviewed me on may 24, 2022, denied me. Truth is, there are not so many positive reviews about her. I'd advise you involve Jesus this time, pray hard, then apply again. On this Visa thing, the favor of God is the most important thing.

Deeyo09:

V.O - What will an Msc in Information technology do for you ?
Me - It is my career goal to be a CIO sometime in future, having studied computer science and worked as a software dev for over 4 years, this degree will help me learn theoretical and hands on experience in other aspects such as IT management, Network security, Data Analytics, Data Management. *I'm not sure I said any thing extra here, I was really expecting her to ask me more questions*
V.O - Who is paying for the deficit ?
Me - I will be doing that with some personal funds that I have saved up. I will also be getting monthly stipend from my department
V.O - Yeeea, I can see that
V.O - How much do you earn ?
Me - About 500k monthly
Then she handed me the blue paper, and said thanks for coming.

She only asked me 3 questions, I don't know what the problem was, is it a problem to use personal funds ?

Yes you can they are both independent of each other

Everything looks good with your application but for the program. Why advanced diploma and not a degree? And why Pastoring...is there a program like this?

ireneayeni:
Congratulations sir, Please I will like to find out if you used the School Address as where you will be staying.
I dont know if this is true but someone told me that If an individual uses an address asides that of the school and the contact info stated on the I-20, Visa Approval is not guaranteed. Please all gurus in the house @Moshkom, @Chibertha, @UmmZayd @justwise how true is this? I will be going with my two kids and I intend staying with my family freiend for a month Pending. the time I get accomodation close to my school(Georgia Southern University). I will really appreciate your response as I already filled the address of my Family friend however I want to know if there is a need to change it Asap befor my interview next week. Thank you.

Hi all

Pls I need to your advice on filling the DS 160, I mean the current employment section.

I completed my MSc. last year and since then I have been writing papers from the thesis, working as freelance quantity surveyor and assisting one of my lecturers with grading, lecture note and marking scheme preparation. In the light of this please how should I fill the DS 160?

boay:

frankmoney:

Yes

Is it everybody that applied for EA , 60 days or less to resumption, that will get it ?

boay:


Yes

oh nice one . Please how did you go about it ? I want to apply for a PhD programme as well .

Did you apply from the University directly or emailed a professor to join their research programme ?

Good day everyone I stumbled across the thread please welcome me. I’m in the process of filing my DS 160 and I have a question

Is it fine for to use business a business account as SOA

I work for my mums business and the business is sponsoring my VISA

I have also been granted a scholarship of 8k…I20 as been issued before the scholarship happened so it’s not reflecting, do I need to contact my enrollment officer about making the scholarship reflect on my I20 or should I carry on with my interview without it.

Lastly there are 2 spots on the I20 about Jobs

The first one says primary occupation
The second say employment for the last 5 years

Are my supposed to tell about Job status in both cases.

Thanks.

2jobs on I.20 or in ds160 form?
If you currently working ,fill it in on the primary occupation/current work ,then if you have worked in the last five years,click on previous work and fill them in.
If you are filling that you do business as your occupation, I hope the course you re going to study aligns well with the business,its very important.

Pls firstly,ensure you mail your school to update your I.20 with the funding, its mostly important.

Does the business account carries your family name or business name.Better to use an account with a personal name on it.

Good morning all.

Please I applied for emergency date in Lagos and was denied. I think June 22nd will be the start of my 60 days before start of school. My school resumes 22nd august.

Should I wait till the last week of June to reapply for emergency? I already have April 2023 appointment.

Is it possible to fill a new ds160 and apply to abuja instead? Will I need to pay a new visa fee?

Please assist.

Thanks
