I really think your friend is being economical with the truth, I'm leaning toward him getting denied and lying about it... either that or his step mom is a Lieutenant general in the Nigerian Airforce, Benin Division. I pray it is the latter rather than the former

WOW , even with a FULL GA and a successful approval .

I guess that why some people are hesitant to post their transcript . You never know which NIV VO is lurking around . Although I dont know the reason for denial so till then the reason for denial is speculation . Or was the GA offer not stated on the i20 document ? but a missing information is different from rejecting based on to ties .

if it was me, if after a week or two i get no response via email , I would book another interview and go find out what the issue is or re present myself for another interview .

hello great people, my school said I should register with eshipglobal so that they can pickup my i20 for me but when I inquired about the fee, I saw that eshipglobal charge about $106 which is too much (mehn gbese with dollar naira rise). Please whats the possible cheapest and efficient way to get my i20? Can I just work to fedex/dhl office here in lagos and schedule a pickup? Does it work that way? Please its urgent

There must be a reason for that or other things were involved... There was an issue similar to that I think last year the applicant was granted visa and few hours later (s)he was called to come and pick the passport that and visa denied..

I suggest the person should reapply and this time the person will get the visa but trust me it's not easy to overcome this kind of thing.
How could that be possible? I don't believe that.

Aunty sorry oooo but nobody will visit that thread of yours from here.

All the information u need is right here. If you truly need to know, kindly read through this thread from part 1 to the end. I promise you will become an Agent, an Admission Officer, a Consular Officer and even US immigration Officer cos there is so much info here for you. Just devote your time to read through.

And Google is the best friend u ve gat in the whole world, call upon it anytime anywhere, as long as u have Internet it will surely answer you.

When you are in doubt or need clarification, be free to ask your questions here, and gurus will b readily available to answer you.

Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Hello beautiful people, I'm not going to bother you much, I'm just going to hit the nail on the head with my questions. I've read much about this particular thread, but am yet to clarified based on my personal findings.
I just want to know can i process the whole application on my own without getting an agent involved? I'm not selfish, i just think the only area their more useful to us is the sponsorship aspect cos they always know how to provide a profitable sponsor. Please can someone buttress my point cos you are gonna help a brother for real...thank you and God bless..

Hi all, I just joined Nairaland due to the wealth of information available here. Allow me to go straight to the point.
I plan to do my masters in the US and I'm hoping to get a scholarship but I'm not sure about the steps to follow.

I have already applied to my school of choice and this is the email they sent to me below:

Dear Vivian,

Thank you for your application to Sacred Heart University's. Your application will be considered by the Admissions Committee once all your credentials have been received in the Office of Graduate Admissions.

To date we have not received the following:

College Transcript
Non-refundable Graduate Application Fee
Recommendation - First Letter
Recommendation - Second Letter
Resume
Bank Statement or Financial Guarantee
Copy of Passport
TOEFL or IELTS Score

You may log into your admission's portal to upload supplemental documents Click here to access the portal.

If your $60 non-refundable application fee is listed as outstanding above, you can submit payment online at http://graduate-appfee.sacredheart.edu .

If you have any questions about the status of your application, please contact me.

Sincerely,

So now from this email I believe I should start preparing to take the IELTS exam and since they didn't ask for GMAT then no need to take that.

Now my problem is since they need me to provide "financial guarantee" can I go ahead and apply for a scholarship? Or will I only be able to apply for a scholarship after I have been given the admission?
Please I need help, I'm new to this. Thanks.

Profitable sponsor? Lol. Seems like you want to use a fake statement of account.

Brother, refrain from doing so, because if you get caught. It's all over for you.

Hello,
Background story: i have a sister in US and she works in the same city as the school i want to attend. Honestly it was not planned. She just recently finished school and got her first job there.
My first application: i lied that i had no relatives.
Should i say the truth in my second DS160 or stick with my lie?
Also i was denied on Tuesday. Will going for another interview after 2 weeks be a red flag?

Please this is my transcript i have planned for my second interview. What do you think? And what other question should i prepare for?

VO: Why are you going to US or tell me about your program
Me: i want to purse a Masters degree in Information Communication Technology at University of Kentucky.

VO: why University of Kentucky?
Me: University of Kentucky has a good ranking for the ICT program. Their curriculum includes different library science courses which for me as a library scientist is a big plus because I would get to gain ICT and advanced Library science knowledge. Also they were sent my an email encouraging me to complete my application which me feel welcome

VO: what would you do after your program or your future plans
Me: i would come back to take up an employment at the University of Ibadan Library and Information Science department. I have always wanted to lecture and in the long run i plan to be a consultant to provide longlasting solution to the problems in business, communities and government technological loopholes in Nigeria. Also, to take over my parents business as i am the only son.

VO: who is your sponsor
Me; My parents

VO: what do they do?
Me: they are into business. They own various hotels in various cities on Nigeria and own a construction company.

VO: what course will you be taking?
Me: ICT in society, information architecture, knowledge management, cybercrime and digital law enforcement.

VO: why were you denied your first time
Me: i think because i did not give enough ties back home

Please I need help, I'm new to this. Thanks.

You have not made an application. No LORs, SOP, no test scores, applying to just one university, what if they don't offer you admission? How were you even able to make an application? In fact, are you sure that school is not a "mush room" school that VOs might bounce your visa for abscondment reasons? Because they have not handled things in a standard way.

You have been in the dark for too long and I am sure you have found the light with this thread. Share your academic profile with the house, when do you intend to apply cos you fall admission is almost over? Which schools are you targeting, budget situation if possible. We can help out. That scholarship situation or better still graduate assistanship is tricky.

Yesterday, I saw a frontpage post about a guy who has a 1k5 per month assistantship, but who is still contemplating whether he should attend or not when he doesn't actually have any tangible thing to do in naija. MSNAS was even trying to help but dude is confused in an ocean of dead opinions, and he should be on this thread cos he almost all the advice he was getting were not useful.

If he was approved at the window and later refused, your friend was also informed of the reason. Just because you tell the truth today doesn't mean you can escape the lies of your past. It's purely speculation as we don't know the details of this specific case, but maybe he had applied with a false name and date of birth in the past - it happens.

Yes. In fact, we encourage you to not use agents. The process is easy and instructions are outlined on the US embassy website.

You also don't need a sponsor.

Nope sir, am not using a fake statement of account. I intend using my dad's statement of account. All i seek for is people's opinion without involving an agent.

Apply to the school, send your transcripts, application fee, i-20, interview Toefl, gmat etc...blah blah blah...My question is can i go through this on my own??

So there you go to the original person who posted.

@Sorbitalll

Here is with an example of reason for denial .... this is from a Lagos NIV VO (a good insider info ) so there you have it. I have always said you need to be accurate and consistent because you never know when what you thought was little non issue or white lie pops up to become a problem.

Your friend can go for another interview but whatever is the problem is not going away easily and might be hard to correct. All the best to him
