Good day gurus in the house,a friend suggested this platform.
Please, I have gone for my interview and was denied twice. I was scared in The first one;I wasn't convincing enough. The second one, the vo, noticed a discrepancy.. I mentioned my Dad as sponsor the first time.. and this second time that I wasn't scared, I mentioned my uncle..
Now,I'm processing another university with guaranteed (full scholarship).
Please what are the likely questions I'd be asked?
I anticipate a quick helpful response. thanks

Hello house.... Any one applied to ashland University here?

kingfabulous:
Good day everybody.
Please I need an urgent answer to my question.

I was denied visa on Aug 11th at the Abuja embassy because the VO was unable to verify my sevis fee payment.
NOTE: I actually gave someone in the US money to make the payment and I cant really say where the fault is from (the guy is swearing with his life that he made the payment)
Bottom line: I have decided to make the payment from Nigeria here but the closest date open for visa re-application is on the 29th and my school starts on 30th.

Please I need advice on what to do next, the only option I have is to seek for late arrival from my school. I dont really know how the process works and I pray someone here might suggest a better option.

My interview was very short:
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning

VO: your I-20 and passport
Me: I passed it

VO: you are going to Ashland university?
Me: yes, to further my studies in Masters in business administration

VO: can i have your servis fee receipt
Me: gave her

VO: you have not made this payment, make the payment and reapply again
Me: please check very well


VO: clicks on her keyboard for some secs and passed the dreaded pink paper

Please I need help on what to do next.

evelyyn:

do not have strong ties with my country.... I have
reapplied and my interview is on 27th of this
month...
I would really appreciate if I get wonderful
suggestions on how to go about it..... Please I need suggestions!!!!!!!

Adhheir:
I actually did this, the new school will prepare a prior I20 for you, visit the fmjfee.com website and click on the I901 fee transfer button, fill in the details of the new Sevis code from your preferred school and the new school sevis code, they'll send you a 'no reply' mail notifying you that they received your request and another one about the status...it takes two business days to completely transfer your sevis fee(note your fee is valid for a year)...best wishes
