Good day everyone! Last 3 weeks makes it my 4th time of going to the embassy for my F1 visa, yet no positive outcome which is weighing me down seriously cuz I convinced the VO about my intention to the study in the United States and that I'd be on my way back to Nigeria after my education but at the end, all I get is denial letter ☹️ Please gurus in the house I need your advice, should I forget about pursuing my education in the United States or not cuz the resumption date is 9th of January or I reapply again. Please I need your ideas

LagosismyHome:
But on a separate topic , someone who finished secondary school last year 2016 is already a computer science junior teacher , That says a lot about Nigeria and the direction it going .

It has nothing to do with the person who posted but sad to hear and a reflection to why our education system is going down the drain . The person might be good but how can someone be a teacher with no higher training or qualification .

samakinbo:
You did your best jare
Don't mind this guy's. They don't know the stress one goes through before appearing for the interview.
If naija good why shd we waste our hard earn money for travel purpose. They are just using us to make bastard money. Deny 25 people and give 1

biikeys:
Just know that most students don't move up for opportunity to work after studies..but contact gboyegad if that's what you want.

imperiouxx:
The quote and the bold would lead you to misrepresentation..... you need to think about your action again.

If you're not self sponsor on your I-20, then what your statement has to do with your interview?

Kevoki:
Don't move up. I don't understand
