Visa Denied 20th October 2020

VO: good morning
Me: good morning sir
VO: Where are you going?
Me: I am going to CMU to pursue a master degree in IS with concentration in SAP and Cybersecurity.
VO: why this school?
Me: cmu IS degree program is ranked as one of the top SAP graduate program in the nation. It is the leader in North America SAP certification. Cuts in
VO: V.O:- Tell me things I can not find on the school website. You are telling me things you crammed from the school website
Me:-( Looking at him without saying anything because I was so confused) I continue talking and said cmu is a research school and most of my course work will be more of research bla bla bla
VO: who is sponsoring you?
Me: my brother. He’s an independent petroleum marketer. He’s into sales and supplies of petroleum products.
VO: Are you married?
Me: yes I am with a son
VO: I am sorry you not qualified for a visa please try again.

Note: Gurus in the house, please actually went wrong Immediately I came out I rescheduled for another appointment but this time I choose Abuja and I saw December 14th as earliest date. I quickly picked the date with my previous application reference number. I will have to pay for another application fee before my interview date. Do I need to make any changes or adjustment on my DS 160 Please I need advise on things to do so I can be successful on the next date I picked.

Aderin0la:
1. Intended date of arrival- yes, you should pick any date within the earliest date of arrival stated on your I-20, and your program start date. And no, you mustn’t book your flight on that exact day. But you can’t arrive in the US earlier than 30 days to your program start date.

2. If you haven’t made specific travel plans (e.g gotten your flight ticket, booked an hotel, etc), simply answer No.

3. Address where you’ll be staying - unless you’ll be staying with a relative or you already have an apartment waiting for you, please enter your school address.

4. For social media usernames, you can just fill in 1 or 2. I’ll advice LinkedIn and Instagram/Facebook.

5. If you’re currently not employed, you do not need to lie. State it that you’re unemployed. In the field for previous work experience, even if you’ve never been employed, you can enter your Nysc work experience or some volunteer work you did. When the VO asks what you’ve been doing since graduation, you’ll simply tell him/her what you’ve spent your time on.

6. No. The colored printout/copy of that document would suffice.

I was on a thread not long ago that was created by someone asking a very important question. Only for Just wise to lock the thread much to the surprise of everybody.

It is just not fair at all because i didn't see anything wrong with the thread so why would just wise lock it?

I am calling on the supermods to open it.

Good morning everyone, trust we are doing good. My F2 interview is November 9th, in Abuja and i don't even know the interview will look like. So far, all I've been reading here is F1 transcripts. Someone should please help me with F2 transcripts, it would go a long way in making me prepared. I will also like to have a list of the documents i need to take to the interview.

@fairheart and co, pls I want a mock interview.

Pls help a brother ooo.

zeeLady:
F2 interviews are usually dependent on the F1 information.
Questions like, what is the F1 studying? which school? when did you guys marry? when did she go? how long is the programe? what do you (the F2) do for a living? then most importantly, How do you plan to fund your stay?

zeeLady:
May I ask when you booked this interview? Was it after all interviews were cancelled?

HisEminence:
Okay, thank you very much. Any other thing I need to know? Like the documents to take along with me?

People go with so many documents. They might end up not asking you of any but to be safe go with:

1. Your F2 1-20, signed
2. Photocopy of F1 1-20
3. GTB visa fee receipt.
4, Appointment Confirmation. or the email you received for appointment.
5, DS160 confirmation showing your passport photographph as uploaded.
6, 2 passport photograph of the same you uploaded online on your DS160.
7, Sponsor official bank statement, stamped and signed, showing more than total money you need.
8, N43, 000 reciprocity fee.
9. Marriage certificate.
10. I know someone who went with a small wedding photo album, but it was not asked.
11. If the F1 is currently on OPT, you have to get his/her EAD. which proves he/she is working

I cant think of anything else for now

Prodigee:

Na una type dey make things harder for genuine people. He even get mind to bring it to public notice and still went ahead to tag mods? What was he expecting? A pat in the back? Orisirisi!

Matluck:
I had the interview on the 16th October, 2020.


I booked a room at a hotel about 2.7km from the consulate. I also was fortunate to meet a driver who agreed to drive me to the consulate at 5am sharp...amd he kept his word... I almost felt goosebumps when he called me 4:59am.
Anyways, I arrived few minutes afterwards with some 5 interviewees waiting. We weren't attended to until few minutes past 6am.

Heads-up... please get all your documents and reciprocity fee ready. Some who came quite early had to fall out of the line to get their stuffs set... And trust the "boys" waiting to overbill you for your unpreparedness.
Shortly, we were ushered in and checked thoroughly and I began to fall back from my 2nd position in line to abt 5th (apparently, a razor was detected in my wallet which I had no premonition about)
Well, I entered sha...verifications and all. My ds160 was for Abuja and upon knowing, I was asked to wait so it can be retrieved to lagos' database. At this time, I was no 17th.
Gladly the consular official (I think he's the infamous Chinese) was just issuing visa o... Abt 14 plus... Only 1 got a yellow slip. I guess he took a break and another dude took over. And fast forward to me... Here it went thus..

Me: good morning
VO: yea, morning, your documents please
Me: hands over

VO: why are you going to US?
Me: I'm going to pursue a Masters degree in Engineering with concentration in petr....

VO: Why this school?
Me: well, besides the fact that it's among the top 10, the....

VO: I know, but why this particular one and not the other 9?
Me: OK, the works of prof... Quite aligns with mine interest and...

VO: so, who's sponsoring you?
Me: I was offered a research assistantship position which caters for the tuition and comes with stipends for my living expenses..

VO: are you married
Me: no

VO: do you have children
Me: no

... VO muted the microphone and started speaking with his colleague saying somethings like.. Yeah he's genuine and all and he's into a research program blah blah... Las Las...
VO : I intend to issue you a visa, go pay at counter 22 ensure your i-20 is with you blah blah...

Me: thank you.. God bless.

I'm profoundly grateful to my friend Prosper for the mockup interviews.. I don't know how to thank my God enough really.
