Hey Fada!
You people should shift, I just want to cry. My chest is paining me.
I am really sorry about your denial but these responses were not what we talked about during our mock and transcript review na. Shebi we agreed we won't tell the VO anything that can implicate us? Which one is you couldn't leave your job for 18 months? As in was this response not for. "why are you not going with your wife" or something?
And then you were saying tuition is just $15k, that's like 5.4 million naira, then total, 9 million naira, in a country where about 98million citizens are poverty stricken and can barely feed? You really sounded cocky and it's not even your money ooo, na your papa go pay am! If it was affordable, why you no sponsor yourself?
Okay, what have you been doing since, shebi I told you how your response to this question ought to be. What happened sir, was it pressure?
You can take GRE again and get good funding to reduce cost, yes. However, at the end of the day, you still need to convince the VO that you are worthy and deserving of this visa, with or without funding.
omalicha aunty, can i send a pm?

Top of the Sunday to you. Abeg na B.sc applicant i be, i see most people you've been giving your helping hands are M.sc and Ph.d crew, pardon my case abeg. My problem is this, i applied to a community college, their tuition and other expenses are compatible with me, my preferred course of study is Information Technology, from the posts i've been reading on this thread, getting an F1 through a community college seems impossible, cos they V.O might see it as desperation to be in the states, some persons said they V O's don't take such applicants serious, whats your take on this
Worthy to note, the program runs for 2 years in which i'll be required to transfer to an associatr university and there's a better chance for me to be financially aided. This suits me perfectly, i'm in my early 20's. I need ur help

Cancel one and book a new appointment in that new location. All depends on your MRV number.

From latest development, you can't use your visa fee payment twice again but you can reschedule for same location once. So if you book your appointment in Lagos, you can reschedule once in Lagos. If you cancel your appointment in other to book for Abuja, you will need to pay a new visa fee.

And with a yellow card, your vaccination record is there in print. Port Health fills the form and stamps it. Port Health is the National Vaccination/Immunization agency of Nigeria. A Yellow Card is also specified as an option in my forms. Since you may not know what prompted his question or have knowledge of the form he recieved, the answer I gave was appropriate.


I am asking to know if the Yellow Card is a required documentation for all travelers at the MMA Airport before exit....

whether students, visitors etc

After about a year in the US, I went to Lagos on Friday the 12th for change of status - F2 to F1.

Was at window 3 with a chubby black male. He had denied an old woman an interpreter even though the woman begged more than three times.
He still approved her visa.

VO: Good morning. Passport and I-20.
Me: Good morning. Here you go.

VO: So you will be attending the same school as your spouse.
Me: Yes

VO: Why Theology?
Me: I have 3 Bachelor's degrees in Theology. I want to enhance my ability in critical biblical analysis and also know about the current trend in biblical hermeneutics.

He stamped my passport/visa... Gbam

VO: I just voided your visa. Your new visa will be ready in three working days.
Me: Thanks, but I have a quick question. How do I get back on an F2 visa since my spouse will still be studying for her PhD by the time I finish my MA?

VO: You just have to come back here.
Me: Oh, thanks... Thumbs up.

Good day everyone, my interview is in a week . Im trying to do my finishing touches. On my ds160 and I-20 I stated that my dad is my sponsor. Is it ok for me to also say that I have some personal savings as well when Im asked about who is sponsoring my studies.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by exousia058: 8:40am On Jul 15, 2019
You are encouraged to apply for your nonimmigrant student visa as soon as you have your I-20. To ensure you get an early and timely date you may apply at anytime. However, a student visa may be issued no more than 120 days prior to the start date mentioned on your I-20. Your earliest arrival date will be clearly stated on your I-20. I hope this helps.

Does this mean if you apply more than 120 days before, the embassy will hold on to your passport till they can issue the visa or are they going to deny you visa because of that?
