When can i apply again and what was my mistake i can't stop thinking about it is so painful
If truly you told the VO that you will be getting married in March, then you have to hold on and re-apply on April.

Hello friends i was refused a US visa last week it was so painful. don't know what was wrong the consular asked me You are engage said yes, when is your big day told him march 9th, how much is your monthly payment? #230 that all he did not even asked for my document just said his sorry i am not ineligible for visa at the moment. pls what have i done i have not travel out of Nigerien before could that be the reason?
Just looking at what you said.
Most of the decision on USA visa is made when the VO reads your application and before they ask any questions.
I would suspect that your finances and links to home did not convince them that you will return home.
In making a decision the USA presumes that you are trying to immigrate unless you convince them otherwise.

Ties to home are what you need. Leave from a job, family (children) buisness or managing property are good.
Single un-married and low cash are not good.

Try to get your school to let you start later sometimes they will give you a couple of weeks.
Then work hard to get your visa (Christmas holidays now)

Other than that you are waiting till fall and need a new I-20
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by Mjseun(m): 5:39pm On Dec 24, 2014

Hi everyone, please I need your candid advice,please no insults as I m already demoralised.i went for my interview at the usa embassy yesterday in abuja,but got a denial.i am married and about 3mnths pregnant.i got am admission for a PhD in a uni in the states. I actually have an intention of schooling and nothing else.i went to the embassy without paying servis fee,d only documents I had were my i2o and passport. I did a masters in the UK in 2012.i have been working since I got back.could my denial be as a result of the pregnancy which wasn't showing at all or non payment of servis fee.i really do not want to miss my admission.please what do u advice please?should I try reapplying?
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by Mjseun(m): 5:42pm On Dec 24, 2014
Best thing is to ask your school to differ to summer ( May).

Best of luck

First, get at least 2 weeks letter of extention from the school and then request for an expedited appointment. If your appointment is within 12 days to the expiration date of coming into America, I think you're fine.

Even that, you could still write to the school so as to enable you come in on Fall after procuring your visa.

So be ready to speed up this process and good luck!

Hope you did well in standardized tests.

Pray for luck!

Yes do that quickly and notify them that the date of the letter of extension should please start from January 6. So 6+14=20. So January 20 should be your final date.

Just explain properly to the VO with regard to your result, you will be fine.

Ask God to send His Angels unto you for a successful interview.

I had to pray and fast(7days), well I needed to involve God in it,because even all the knowledge on this forum can fail you but God would never fail,
on the 3rd day God already answered and showed me through a night vision, on the 7th day he also confirmed it through Isaiah 43:26b" Declare thou , that thou mayest be justified"( in other words- that thou mayest be seen eligible for VISA), So I started quoting the scriptures.
Some of the scriptures I used were : Deut 31:6&8, Hebrews 13:5&6,Prov 21:1, Psalm 34:5,6& 7, Is 41:10,Psalm 102:13,Is 26:8&9,Jer 29:11,12&13, Is 49:15&16,Psalm 5:11-12,Ps 34:7,Ps 84:11&12 ,James 1:17,Is 50:7, Psalm 118:6&7, Rom 5:2,Lk 18:27, Matthew 19:26, 2kings 3:17, 2 Chronicles 14:11

The word works wonders!!! Try it

Fast forward , Today 6:30am appointment ,My bro dropped me off at the venue in Lagos, Yh I was looking fresh and dapper with my Suit( Please wear whatever increases your confidence level)
After passing all the security checks, I sat down with other applicants , I was so nervous! chai, so I decided to take a short nap while waiting for interviews to start, I woke up again and started quoting scriptures again ,Well that is what God told me would justify me , people around me were looking at me as if I was running mad(well I dont care , na only me waka come o)
Suddenly , I heard my number ,My ears stood up like those of the german shepherd, Well I had faith in my heart , but doubt was in my heard ....

VO: are you Mr XXXXX
Me : Morning ......Yh ( whispering Thank you Jesus)
VO: so you are going to Texas?
Me : yes , exactly( Whispering Thank you Jesus)
VO : so How did you find out about the school
Me : I did extensive research on the internet and I consulted my senior colleagues in the oil and gas industry(Whispering Thank you Jesus)
VO : so what did u do your undergraduate in?
Me : sorry , come again
VO: what did you study for your undergraduate degree?
Me: Bachelors in engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering (whispering Thank you Jesus)
Vo: looking through the details to confirm consistency
Vo: between when and when
Me: with Hand demostration, 2006 to 2011( whispering Thank you Jesus)
Vo: who is your Sponsor
Me : My Mum (whispering Thank you Jesus)
Vo what does she do
Me :She owns an Hospital and She is the managing Director of Emes real estate Service
VO: typing plenty ..............Me: I just dey whisper Thank you Jesus with plenty faith

VO: turn and drops my passport and brought ne white paper to the window saying sth about pick,
I will give you your I20 back , you will need to take it along wen you travel
I did nt hear what she was saying because I was too excited.

I just packed my load , turned and said Thank you Jesus ALOUD

It was Divine favour .....

you could say physics would help in the understanding of auto crash test in order to ensure safe design standards in crashworthiness because the crash test is based on the laws of physics (newton's second law of motion) since the government is thinking of bringing in vehicle manufacturing companies to the country and you would love to move from the buying and selling of cars to the actual design for improved safety.
A VO could argue you don't need a grad degree in physics to know this. I'd err on the side of brevity and avoid being drawn into a long winded response in the interview. I'd simply say a physics grad degree would give me more credibility in the industry: amongst my peers/ competition/customers.

I was surfing d internet, saw dis and decided to share it for does of us still planning for obamaland....


The cost of the study per year (Tuition and fees, does not include living expenses) in USA varies from $5000 to $50000 (might be much more too for MBA/Medical or other programs) per year. The cost of living depends on the location. For example States like Washington, California and area around New York is costly. In general cost of living for students from countries like India, Bangladesh, China, Taiwan may vary from $6000 to $14000 (per year).It is assumed that students will live in shared apartments, live out of campus and have less telephone bills and other expenses are at bay. Most of all expenses can be met while working on on-campus jobs. The hourly pay for on-campus job varies from $5.15 to $15 per (sometimes it may be $20) hour. Foreign students can work for 20 hrs per week and 40 hrs per week during summer. Students may be allowed to work out of campus (internship) after nine months(2 semesters) of their arrival at USA. Students receiving any type of aid like TA/RA/Fellowship or GA need not have to worry about costs. Students not receiving any kind of aid must be prepared for tuition fees and living cost for initial 2-3 months (also please note : getting on-campus job might take some time.. earlier you come the better). Also note that in some universities like University of Missouri-Rolla and University of Texas Arlington there is huge shortage of P/T jobs. So students planning to go to these universities must either have Scholarships or adequate Funds. It's better to contact current students via email for latest information. For many universities students can pay the fees of their last semester even after graduation.

I hope it helps...
