Experienced guys in the US, do you think it is advisable to apply for Employment Authorization Document (EAD) on the basis of financial challenge? Will this not come back to haunt you when you want to renew your visa? I'm thinking that once the visa officer discovers that you applied for EAD on the basis of economic challenge, he or she will conclude that you do not have enough financial resources to support yourself, therefore your visa renewal application may be denied? What do you think, guys? Has anyone here applied for EAD on the basis of financial challenge?

There was a time this was mention / promoted here as an option but what usually left out is what the future implication. And this is a very wise thought process to think not just about immediate but what happens in the future

I personally don't know because I didn't use this or know anybody that did . I hope someone in nairaland who did can share their experience so we can be informed

Lagosismyhome pls check this out....pick out the flaws in itPls guys...I really need your opinion on this my mock transcript
VO; Hello,good morning
Me; Good morning,thank you
Vo;passport and I20?
(Passed)
Vo; what is your intent?
Me; Am going to st.cloud state uni for my undergraduate degree in computer engineering
Vo; Why U.S and not your country?
Me; Sir,the tertiary education in the U.S is top notch and regarded very high in every part of the world. I need the best possible education for my undergraduate degrees
Vo; how did you hear about the school?
Me; I saw it on the internet when I was looking up for good schools with small class size,it came up in the list and after my evaluation,I chose the sch and few other schs as well
Vo; So.....why the course?
Me; My fascination with this course has led me to realize that there is general lack of knowledge about the potentials of computer technology,and due to lack of solid implementation of computer skills,we experience technological failure all the time. So with this course,I will be equipped adequately with the knowledge required to improve efficiency in computer technology here in my country. This creative course will also give me brighter opportunities to work or partner with good companies like glo,mtn,etc
Vo; Tell me about the course?
Me; computer engineering is a branch of engineering that integrates several fields of computer science and electronic engineering required to develop computer hardwares and softwares. It is also a branch of engr that deals with almost every of our day-to-day engagements: the smartphones we use,elevators,computers,space travel,etc
Vo; Did u take any standardized test?
Me; yes....SAT,1030
Vo: who is your sponsor?
Me: my uncle?
Vo: what does he do?
Me: He is a professional lawyer who owns a law firm. Beside that,he has acres of land in 2 different location that he leases out to commercial farmers and mini mall....they all generate him heavy income
Vo: hmmmm......why your uncle and not your parents?
Me: He is trying to pay back my parents for training him in college and making him who he is today. This also coincides with the fact that am his favorite nephew(smiles)
Vo: What is your plan after graduation?
Me: After my graduation,I will come back to my country,apply for job,hopefully i will get one easily because their is a very high demand for computer
engrs. Our skill is really needed for the growth of the nation. Maybe i will also go to part-time lecturing

It has a good foundation so work on the delivery and prepare for a wide range of questions. Also how old are you and when did you finish secondary school ?

I won't be surprised if you are the only one with this scenario. First, most people who might have used this are typically masters students who might not to need to renew their visas before the completion of their programs. Secondly, this is quite dicy because no one can say for sure or not if this will be a problem. If I were you baring any emergency, I will stay put in the US till I finish my program and able to change status. You don't need a visa to be legal in the US as a student so far you have a valid i20 and your sevis is in status.

Interview on AUG 8, Visa Delayed


Vo: Good Morning
Me: Good morning

Vo: Tell me about your program and why you choose to study it
Me: (NB: my I-20 isn’t stating my exact course of study so I explain to her)

Vo: okay, tell me about your preferred course of study
Me: Information Assurance & Security involves protecting information and information systems from unauthorized use, access, disruption, destruction and modification in order to provide integrity, availability….she cuts in

Vo: Why did you choose to study it?
Me: I have an undergraduate degree in computer science and during my finals, I worked on a project on credit card fraud detection using hidden markov model. Ever since, I’ve been interested in tackling online fraud activities and however, my late dad and uncle who is my sponsor both had a fintech company, the fintech company is an online payment gateway company which is in line in operation with my current place of work, the company has been down for a while. So getting this degree would let me gain more technical knowledge and improve my practical skills needed in relaunching this start up alongside my uncle when I get back to Nigeria which is the primary reason why my uncle is sponsoring me. And however, the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics report shows that over $54bn worth of electronic payments were made in the second quarter of 2017 of which a large percentage were reported to be fraudulent. With the growth of SMEs in Nigeria and Africa at large, there is need for Information Assurance Specialist in tackling this setback.


Vo: How did you hear about the school?
Me: When I was doing my final year project on CREDIT CARD FRAUD DETECTION USING HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL, I sourced journals and publications written by Dr Joseph Elarde who later introduced me to Dr Jiang Li, both being associate professors at the department of computer science at APSU. Their contributions were so immense that ever since I had always wanted to be under their tutelage.

Vo: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: 2, AUSTIN PEAY STATE UNIVERSITY & MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY. (both schools are in the same state, TENNESSEE)

Vo: What are the similarities between the two school?
Me: (I wasn’t expecting this question…….i think she asked this because I chose the same course for both schools) I can’t really remember what I said but I know I said something about both their curriculum fitting my career goals.


Vo: Why did you choose APSU over MTSU?
Me: When I was doing my final year project on CREDIT CARD FRAUD DETECTION USING HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL, I sourced journals and publication written by Dr Joseph Elarde who later introduced me to Dr Jiang Li, both being professors at the department of computer science at APSU. Their contributions were so immense that ever since I had always wanted to be under their tutelage. More so, my application at MTSU was still being processed at the time APSU gave me admission.

Vo: Why didn’t you wait for the admission at MTSU?
Me: The resumption date for APSU was getting close and I didn’t want to miss out on it.

Vo: Do you have a relative in Tennessee?
Me: Yes, my brother (and my mum, I didn’t mention this but I filled it in my DS-160 form, my brother is a US CITIZEN while my mum is a LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT)

Vo: Why did you choose two schools in the same state?
Me: (I think this was where the problem started, I wasn’t expecting this question) i said jargons but I know I said or mentioned it was a coincidence. (she tilted her ear like she didn’t hear what I said)

Vo: Are you married
Me: NO

Vo: Do you have kids?
Me: NO

Vo: Sorry you do not qualify for………………………….you know the rest
Me: I just waked away




I want to defer my admission at APSU to spring semester and start applying for the visa again. Am I to pay another SEVIS fee? Or do I just request for another i-20 and pay for the visa fee?
My brother said he wants me over there this year.
My brother has been in the US since 2008, he entered through the visa lottery scheme.
He graduated from MTSU in 2014, I think this was the point I missed out in the interview.

As I’m preparing for the next interview what are the points I need to pitch, indeed your candid advice. Thanks.

From your transcript, the v.o helped you to know the reason you were refused. You chose schools in the same state your brother is staying who is also a US citizen, it means all your intent is to immigrate to USA using student visa. Also saying it was a coincidence is a lie because you were aware that your family members are in the state and applied only to schools in the same state. I don't think reapplying with same school will help, look for schools in other states and apply. I guess Austin peay state university gave you graduate assistantship, didn't see any mention of that on your transcript

Naughtyvirgin:
Congrats to her

Thank you

Imustreturn:
Brethren please is this school ok to apply

Arburn Unviersity Montgomery?

someone please reply me oooo

Imustreturn:

OK


It's ranked 95, is that a good bet?

[quote author=YoungIncredible post=70121480]I had my first hand experience at the embassy this morning and it was terrible. Denials everywhere. Someone in front of me with full funding and good expression was denied.

The vo was just cutting me 10 seconds after each questions. No chance to express myself, no chance to prove why I chose my school, course, and my post graduate plans which I have prepared answers to. 57,600 gone just like that in 2 minutes.

Honestly, our leaders need to work on our universities and make them world class. The rate of humiliation at the embassy is so high that grown up people are seen crying out of the exit door.

Its well with everyone.

The denial yesterday was soo much that almost all the windows student's were coming out with blue papers...I guess coming back there is a means of making some funds for the embassy....jux my thought on that though

Thank you for your reply. I've told my brother severally to allow me choose a school in other states but he refused.
he is still insisting that i choose a school in Tennessee. he said i should defer the admission to spring semester and apply for the visa again
APSU actually didn't give me GA.
Please what can i include in my transcript when i'm reapplying?

Your brother is not the person that will approve your visa. You can get visa with other schools and transfer to schools in Tennessee when you get to USA. Better you play safe than allowing your brother dictate for you. I won't advise reapplying without any tangible change as your case is obvious you are immigrating using student visa

My in law visa was delayed, August 9
According to him. Here is the transcript.

V.o is a young guy in his late 20's

V o: good morning
Him: morning, so nervous because all the 4 guys in front of him were rejected by the v.o.

Before he left I told him that he should take charge and draw the v.o to his strong points.
Which was that he did is undergraduate study in Malaysia.

V.o: tell me about your program.
Him. My program is abt MBA in Intl. Biz at Cmu which is a continuation of my undergraduate degree in Malaysia.

Knock out punch
V.o: looked up, you schooled in Malaysia
Him: yes I did.

V.o: which school
Him: mentioned it

V.o: is it in the largest city in Malaysia
Him: No, it is not. The place is called Perlis

V.o: proofing to be smart. Kuala Lumpur, you said?
Him: No, it is in Perlis.

V.o: when did you graduated.
Him: last year

V o: what year
Him : Oct 29 2017

V.o: when did you come back
Him: April 2018.

all this while the v.o was nodding to his answers and typing vigorously.

V.o: is it a private or state government university
Him: a state owned

V.o; alright! Who is your sponsor.
Him: my mum

V.o: what does she do
Him: An entrepreneur she deals in real estate and.

V.o: cut him and next was blue paper.

Reason. It was written that he has no ties in Nigeria 241b or smtn. But he was not asked any question along that line. His school will resume on the 13 October. Will he need to defer or what.

You don't need to pay another sevis fee if the one you paid is not up to 365 days. You can simply transfer the sevis payment for another school.

Hello everyone, 
HELP! HELP!! HELP!!!
I need an advice on an F1 visa issue and will really appreciate if I can get a way forward out of this. I know this house is full of gurus and highly blessed. Kindly help a sister in a jam.
My story goes thus:
Sometimes in 2016, my pregnant sister and her husband with their son applied for a US tourist visa and were granted. During the interview, the consular asked whether my sister will visit the doctor and she replied negative. My sister spent 5 months in the US and returned with the child. Their visa expired and the husband is the busy type and has no time for the renewal. Fast forward to this year, the husband was granted admission for a graduate study in the USA and was even offered a little scholarship by the school. The husband applied for F1 visa and was refused. During the interview, the consular stated that the husband travelled with his wife without their child to the USA two years ago and gave birth there after having misinformed the then consular that they will not visit the doctor. She asked where the wife is and the husband answered that she is at home with her business. She also asked how much was paid and the husband answered. The consular also asked for the receipt but the husband answered that when the wife is coming to renew her visa,she will bring it along. My sister's husband doesn't want to miss this scholarship so he wants to apply again before the school resumes late this month. What can he do to be granted the visa? Should he apply with his family again for F1 and F2 visa? Any suggestions from the gurus and VO's in the house?will really cherish one right now. Also, i believe it's the wife that wants to be punished by the VO, is it possible for the husband to be be approved the F1 while the wife is denied for the F2? Please kindly reply. All suggestions are welcome.

While I'm not a lawyer or expert in cases like this, I just wanna give you my 2 cents. This may be a very unpopular opinion but hey, it's just an advise, so feel free to ignore it.

The law is not a black or white thing. This is why for cases you're not sure of, the advise is primarily to consult a lawyer. You'd be surprised how easy it is to get through situations that look super complex to the ordinary eye.

That being said, IMO, there is absolutely NO beyond-reasonable-doubt proof that your sister or her husband lied to the VO during their first visa interview. It's not like they have proof of a conversation they had to support a preconceived plan to do the above. People change their minds all the time. People come here just to visit for a week, meet a girl with asss so fat, decide they're not going home again, marry the girl and apply for GC, say their plans changed after they got here. Oga mi Sir, they get their GC.

In your case, maybe your sister and her husband honestly had no intention of having their baby here or visit the doctor. Suppose I were in her shoes, and I woke up one day with blood coming out of me, you think I will risk my life and die because I told one VO that I won't be seeing Doctor? No sir, I will call 911 if needed and get the best treatment and that's not a crime.

This case is not as impossible as it looks, and also you didn't tell the whole story. If they paid all bills out of pocket or whatever the case is, tell them to take all relevant documents along on their next visit to the embassy. He also has to state clearly that "No Sir, we didn't misinform the previous VO. Things happened that way because..."

If the matter pass you, your sister abi her husband, consult immigration lawyer. Better one o, not 200 Naira lawyers under bridge in Ikeja. But if I were you, I'd handle this myself sha. It's not a big deal.

Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. Please consult a lawyer for legal matters.

Haba! Fear God. Which kind logic is this na? How can you know for certain what someone's intent is? It's not as clear cut as it looks Sir. For what it's worth, he could get admitted into CA and still find his way to TN or wherever else if intent is to immigrate. All the VO had was a suspicion, it was the applicant's job to clear that suspicion and he probably did a bad job at it.

I read the transcript, he needs to do a better job. His brother's life decisions doesn't ban him from ever staying in TN. It'd raise red flags, that's all. It's his duty to explain those red flags. Saying it's a coincidence though is a weak defense.

Visa approved this morning at Lagos consulate. The way V.Os were dishing out blue paper eh I got scared to a point had to run to the toilet. Will post my transcript later. Ubah1 my God will bless you for all the corrections and mock interviews you did for me.
From what I saw this morning no matter how prepared you are you need God's favour to get a white paper.

neurosci:
Experienced guys in the US, do you think it is advisable to apply for Employment Authorization Document (EAD) on the basis of financial challenge? Will this not come back to haunt you when you want to renew your visa? I'm thinking that once the visa officer discovers that you applied for EAD on the basis of economic challenge, he or she will conclude that you do not have enough financial resources to support yourself, therefore your visa renewal application may be denied? What do you think, guys? Has anyone here applied for EAD on the basis of financial challenge?

Don't do it!!! Unless the situation is absolutely terrible and that's the only option available to you. You don't wanna use small issues to mess up the big picture lol. If you're facing financial hardship, Oga... rough am jorr. No do omo mummy. You don't wanna give them yeye ideas when it's time to go big!

I'm not saying you can't get authorization to work full-time due to economic hardship and still renew your visa or get GC later o, I'm saying it makes no sense to plant that seed in their heads later. It's good to know you're proactive, and foreseeing potential issues. Some odes will just go ahead and use short term benefit to damage future potential.

Remain smart.

The rate at which students are applying to USA is nothing to write home about too...


They can't let everyone into their country. So sell yourself and pray favour locates you

Lol, don't mind them. Naija people have used the "Na student package sure pass" to spoil everything. You'll see unqualified, undercooked, people posing as students trying to outsmart VOs, that's making them scrutinize students like kilode. Smh. Everybody always shouting "them no dey check account jare" and doing stupid things to abuse the system. Now see the result.

Back in the day, you'd hardly hear of Administrative processing in transcripts. Some Naija people can abuse everything.

yemiosinbajo:

How about you just create a thread for that?

I won't have time to monitor new thread. I've even changed my mind sef.

Good morning house,

please my interview is in few days and ai need urgent help with mock interviews.

help biko!

Oga read my comments well before replying. I told him what to do. He lied that it was a coincidence and his intention was to immigrate. So best to him to address it before reapplying

Haha... But the guy made it obvious that he was immigrating which raised the red flags. Well two of you are still saying the same thing. The guy should address the red flags. Apply to schools in other states and use that for his visa application
