1. Appointment letter
2. Ds-160 confirmation page
3. Visa fee receipt (GTB)
4. Original I-20
5. SEVIS I-901 payment confirmation
6. International passport
7. Birth certificate
8. (1) 2X2 passport
9. Diploma or degree Cert.
10. Standardized test scores (if applicable)
11. Admission letter.

People at the gate will hassle you to patronize them for one thing or another, I'd advise you not to...if you have all this just walk confidently into the embassy don't let them plant any fear inside of you. Don't go with your phones, drop them at the hotel or someplace. They'll charge you heavily to keep it with them and since you won't be spending all day at the embassy; you can do without your phone.

Goodluck!

He needs help, yet he's concealing details. That's why I haven't commented as yet. VO wouldn't have been screaming that way over $31k+

Demonicide:
I didn't get any appointment letter apart from the ds160 confirmation page.

Adhheir:


Deferring to fall would be very convenient for you, you can book your visa date early and prepare well. For now, it has been alleged that consular do not appreciate it when your interview date is too close to your resumption date and even if you get an expedited appointment at this stage it'll still be very close to spring start date. Its still your decision to make and I'll stick with what the academic evaluator advised you. Like every successful applicant say "preparation is key"

I had my first interview on the 13th of November and I was denied but now I am thinking of reapplying cos my school resumption is in January, should I go ahead? please help

Adhheir:


Why did you think you were denied? If the reason is something you feel is negligible when you're reinterviewed then you can, you're not applying for the first time. You were previously denied.

You can post your previous transcript and proposed transcripts and let the experienced help you.

Kind regards

You may like to share a detailed transcript of what transpired, then we can take it up from there. Don't attempt to conceal details if you crave quality inputs.

100kobo:

Sorry about the refusal. But let me quickly observe that you were not ready. You were denied because you couldn't defend your choice of Lincoln University and your Sonography program. It appears to me these selections were handed down to you and not a product of an intense research. You can prove me wrong by working on those two key areas.

You were not denied because Lincoln University is a wrong destination (flagged), as some may want to posit. You were not denied because Lincoln is too cheap or expensive as mooted when they mentioned "spending so much". That question was for emphasis and if you were prepared, you could have rescued the situation at that point. You were refused because you failed the first test on proving "you're a genuine student." There was no point testing if you're financially capable or have sinister immigration intents.

Way Forward: Don't book in a hurry. Do some personal researches about your school and course. Read particularly one or two interview transcript compilations, then you'd be ready to give it another try.

If this is the program you are going for...Associate of Science (AS) in Diagnostic Imaging Degree Program or Sonography at Lincoln University

Then this will raise a flag with any VO. Firstly this is not a master program or a full degree program and if an associate degree then yes it cheaper to have done this at a community college. Why would you pay university fees for an associate degree .

Its your Nonimmigrant Visa - Confirmation Page (DS-160)

Nutshell44:


Sorry about your denial. But you kinda shot yourself in the foot. Your answer to why sonography is not substancial enough, Infact the reply you gave is the same as not answering the question at all.
I don’t think it has anything to do with having siblings or not. Your replies let you down. Sorry!

congrats. Trust me I know how it feels to be on AP. I myself have been on AP since the 11th of August. My interview was at the Abuja consulate. It’s hasn’t been easy since. The tension no here. To make things worse, The abuja embassy is closed at the moment. Anyways, I would like to know the number you called?

sensisosu:


thanks for your input.. the reason why i do not want to disclose that i am married is because my husband is a green card holder and if i put his name and date of birth in the form, they will know he is over there and it may become a red flag.. at this junction i am very confused as to what to do about this.. i know being married with kids is a good home tie. but i dont want to shoot myself in the leg.
