Yes they surely pay another visa fee to schedule another date.

Its very important to check the bar code after submission of appointment date

Just like that

@ Tods, Phoebus and Motoshor,

Cheers! https://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0016.gif

OluDare01:
Pls I wanna ask
Those they sent back because their barcode didn't match, what's their fate?
Will they pay another visa fee or reschedule

It happened to me too. I was 'Turned Back' and was given a TB form which instructed me on how to reschedule. They may need to pay another fee if they haven't exceeded the reschedule limits. I had to pay another visa fee I guess I must have exceeded the limit.

Before if your bar code doesn't match, to reschedule is free and when the statistics are getting out of hand and people misused it, took it for granted that's when payment for another visa fee started same thing applicable to changing and updating of ds160 confirmation directly from applicant appointment profile, before applicant can do it on his/her own after booking appointment interview but now applicant must send email to the embassy to update if for the applicant.

I'm going to pursue my Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems. I received my I-20 with Information Science/Studies and some codes written on it as my Major.

I wrote the admission office and got this as reply,
"SEVIS is limited as to what majors we can use to describe your program of study. “Information Science/Studies” is used for the Computer Information Systems major."

Is that OK?

@ OluDare01

Congrats once again.. Remember after you na you o... I still de Nairaland kirikiri o

Wow!
Your story is so inspiring. I love your spirit! Way to go!
Oregon state is a very good school, enjoy your stay

Phoebus:
Although I've been a silent reader here for some months, I believe now is the time to share with y'all my testimonies

I applied all by myself to Oregon State University mainly because the program I chose does not require me to write GRE (although I was still considering applying to two more when I received my admission letter from the dpt I applied to and never bothered...). Then, I started processing my I20 and by mid April, I was ready to appear at the US Consulate. I was scared at first cos of the 120 days rule but summoned courage and showed up during the last week of the month because I still had loads of preparation to complete (vaccines to take, flights to book, e.t.c).

After trekking endlessly on that fateful Tuesday for the 11 am appointment, as I lost my way earlier, I arrived in time to be checked in with other applicants. Upon entering, I was directed to to the biometrics section; thinking the interview had begun already, I started fidgeting until the black man in the glass tried to calm me down and instructed me to gently located the hole and pass my documents. With that done, I proceeded to the line where I started hearing all sorts of replies from applicants that got them the blue paper from Vos Well, it got to my turn and I landed right in front of one of the Vos that doled out more blue papers. She was fast about it:

Vo: Good morning (smiling) Can I have your passport please?

Me: (Passed my passport) Good morning.

Vo then scans it, asked me to pass other documents (I20 and sevis receipt) and told me to place my fingers on the scanner. After that...

Vo: How did you hear about this school?

Me: (Now relaxed, looking into her eyes, confidence back in place , replied) Actually, the director of the NGO I volunteer with recommended Oregon State and Texas Women University. **(I learnt this vital part from NL and I quickly brought it in at this point so as to save the vo from asking me how many schools I applied to, and it worked sha )

Vo: What is the name of this NGO again? (She must have asked because I didn't include it in my application)

Me: (Mentions the name sharply)

Vo: (after typing for few seconds, looks at I20 again, and asked) Why this course, Women Studies?

Me: You see, this course has been area of interest to me all my life; I am passionate about it, I've volunteered for an Ngo about it, and I want to build a career in this area. (I replied smiling)

Vo: (smiling and nodding her head, she types for seconds and asks the unexpected) What is your research area of interest?

Me: (at this point, the kindda look she gave me was one like she was expecting me to fumble! but I no slack oo! I quickly picked one of my favorites subject in the curriculum and said) I would be researching on the systems of oppression in women's lives, especially those affecting women in Nigeria thereby rendering us useless.

Vo: (quite convinced, while nodding and smiling again, she then types for a longer time and asked like she almost forgot...) when did you graduate Uni and What did you studied?

Me: 2014, History

Vo: (she then started telling me how from nowhere, what I studied fits what I'm going for .... ) Who is sponsoring you and what do they do?

Me: My mum, she is a businesswoman.

Vo: Typing for the last time and telling me how willing she is to approve my visa, She hands over the white sheet to me and immediately left her presence before she changes her mind

*** That settled, I focused on my GTA search and chase (see that school is one of the most expensive state university I've found but my dear self did not check their tuition before entering gbege ooo) in good faith and not relenting even after the graduate advisor told me they have distributed all the GAs they have I still continued all my preparation in hope that I would go look for some jjob or scholarships upon my arrival cos the exchange rate kept devaluing my savings

Alas!!! God had a pleasant surprise for me already After reminding the graduate advisor and one other in the dpt about my bid for GTA and how having me in mind if any opens would go a long way, I finally received a full GTA offer last month, after praying and fasting fervently for two months!

I count myself indeed lucky: applied to one school, got admitted, got my visa, got a full assistantship (Tuition waiver with stipends), and would be attending a very good school in USA without having any close relative to call on there, all with ease! It is only God's doing and leading and most importantly, putting one's all in the preparation. Also, be FOCUSED (learn to have a mind of your own) and stay POSITIVE! I never allowed anyone to talk my plans down; from going to the embassy early, not minding the 120 days rule which has aided my purchase of a very cheap flight before the dollar hike, to remaining strong knowing one thing must work out...

This is my story, and I hope you learn one or two things from reading

fizzile:
I will advice you to search for some schools that accept low GPA of 2.5 or 2.6 then prepare well for toefl and have atlease 300 and above. Believe me ur gpa is not that bad. If evaluated, it will possibly move up. So remove that impression that your chances are slim. Check these schools:
1. Cal state university, L.A
2. Cal state university, East Bay
3. Cal state university, Dominquez hills
4. University of Texas, El Paso
5. University of South Alabama
6. West Texas A&M
7. South East Missouri State University.
These schools accept GPA of 2.5, 2.7 depending on ur course. Write or call the graduate coordinator in the department and get a few information. Also check the requirements.
Hope it helps. Don't lose hope my brother, your GPA is not as bad as u think
But i must emphasize, WRITE GRE !!!! cos it will really help,even when it comes to funding.
All the best to you.

dickoflife:
are u pretty?

Bros free the babe o

HOTWATER:
@nellyalph . I do not understand what you mean. You have never had any dealing with me or heard anybody that has had any dealing with me complain. Please be properly guided.

Sorry I quoted you, I meant no harm.. With all the recent happenings here with Angela, I couldn't keep calm and you have to be careful so that they won't come here tarnishing your name. Infact I expect a positive outcome..

Walspring:
If i may ask you, which of the admission and admission letter? because there are admission and admissions, then there are admission letter and admission letters..

Kindly be specific please about what you want

undergraduate admission for any medically related course.

The admission office will know more than us because thats their expertise. If they said so then its ok. If you are still not comfortable then print out the email where it was stated and go with it to your interview.

OluDare01:
