Actually my reason of stating that I don't know their status is because throughout this year, ever since I got married to my wife, my parents cut contact and relationship with me. They were never in support of the woman I married, thus that's why I have only done intro, and court marriage.

Secondly, before they decided not to return back to Nigeria, my Uncle who's a citizen have agreed to file for them a green card. I don't know what status I will call them considering the fact that I have not been in communication with them for a while now, and I don't know how things are going for them there.

Do you think this genuine reason is enough for the V.O? This is the only reason I have.

Hello all,

Please I have submitted my DS-160 form, booked for an appointment which will be on the 5th of December, and I will be attending Touro College New York City.

I have some few questions that are quite disturbing me and I see them as issues that may affect my chances, that's why I want to discuss here with anybody here that is willing give me sound advises.

My parents are old and have retired in the US with my Uncle who is citizen, but my parents don't have papers and are not working there. I want to know if this can affect my chances of getting a student visa?

I am married but with no Child yet. In my application I indicated that my parents are in US but I don't their status. Is this also ok?

Thank you very much.

See the way they were smiling today and I was like on the interview day they didn't smile like that o lol.They started laughing...
I asked why don't they smile during interview lol..Because their faces can make you forget what you wanna talk about. All na format sha. Just to get us tensed
I told her she denied me on Monday and she laughed and told me best of lucks on my next interview.Don't give up y'all...

Lastly...Pls NO body should agree to consular taking their bank statment on AP if you know it's not real.
Pls and pls am talking out of today's experience. My friend we do both attend education USA got his visa last week Thursday and they told him that do you want us to check your bank statment ans confirm thr funds are real and he said yes.(In his mind he said they wont have time to check)If found fraud do you know you can be banned for 10 years.He said yes that they should go on with it and he gave it to them.Today he just called me that they refused him the visa when he colleted his passpor from dhl and am sure his automatically banned like that. Pls lets be careful.I am soo sad for him right now.10 years is like forever.

Hi gurus,
I have been on this thread for a while now and somehow I don't know how to post or relate with people here. I just created my account and I am excited to be able to post this here.

Firstly, I have gained admission to WIU and I have full funding with monthly stipends. I have registered for my visa appointment and I made mistake in my Ds-160 I put Jan 2019 - December 2019 but my I-20 shows January 2019 - dec 2020.

Secondly, my appointment is close and I need gurus that can help to scrutinize my prepared transcript. I have written out likely questions and I have provided my answers. Pls I need help and anyone willing can pls contact me through my mail at opeyemisodiq92@gmail.com as I don't know how it works here yet. I look forward to your favourable response.

It is painful to see parents do this to their own son. You made your choice and since it wouldn't be right for them to choose for you, they should know better. I will not lie to you, their appearance on your application will not be favourable. A few students from this forum has reached out to me on something like this. All of them got denied, even after 3rd appearance.

Supposing I publish an advert on a National Newspaper disowning my parents stating these reasons, and then attach it along with my application to show the V.O that I do not have anything to do with my parents because I don't want their actions to affect me my chances of getting an education in America. Do you think it will sell? Do you think it will make the V.O judge my case for I am, and not my parents?

Not true Prairie view A&m university requires GRE. I got admission there and they required it but it can be waved depending on some factors.

Go ahead if it is because the funding is low. Make sure to check that your school did not write your Mom's name on the I-20, otherwise, you will have to use her only as the sponsor when filling the dsform and present her statement at embassy if visa will be granted.. If the term "family" is what appear on your i-20 as source of fund for sponsorship, then you can use uncle account. But state uncle's name on your dsform as sponsor. I assume an uncle is a part of a whole family. Note that.

Good luck

God forbid you doing that! NEVER! You must rise above their disaffection with you; you must prove you are better than what they think of you, and your love and honour for your parents must remain. Take such thought out of your mind because of US Visa. Your parents are coming back to you. Let God take care of how they have used the parental honour to reject you.
You proposed idea will not work; in fact, it will make you look desperate at the embassy, and the consular who will interview you may not even check the newspaper. You caused this issue. That is why I wanted us to talk personally--adult-to-adult, off this forum!
Be strong!

I sent you an email to your Gmail account. I will be grateful if you check and reply back. Thanks.

LagosismyHome:
Here your responses were sufficient as you initially got through. For some reason your bank statement might have been the issue . I know most embassies dont like lump sum and prefer seeing steady in and out . Not sure how to advice other than maybe go again and hope for the best . Or maybe you should have used your mum bank statment or gone with it

Adhheir:
Thank you for this, it was very helpful at least it assuaged some fears and anxiety, I didn't see the invite on time would have loved to be there...are you preparing for another interview soon? Can I pm you to rub minds?...

fairheart:
Did your friend later told you the statement he used was not real? That is sad! I may be able to help on next step of action. Tell him to reach out to me. It is not over yet.

Missjayone22:
Yeah it's not real....
He knows but he just feel they won't have time to check it.

As long as your student is not applying for the Fall 2019 admission using the Early Action/Decision, the result from the Dec.1st SAT exam will be accepted. This is because the results will be out before end of December, and the Regular Decision applications are due from Jan 1st onward, depending on the college.
