Greetings! Please who has any idea if CR1 Visa (Spousal) is still being processed and issued to Nigerians even at the expense of the ban? I was informed Yes but I needed to be sure here and hence my question. I look forward to a helpful answer. I'll appreciate any valuable information about this particular Visa. Thank you

It can be a issue as per the time of arrival, so you’ll have to had an agreement with any Uber driver before the day about the time he is able to come pick you the next day

There are guys outside as read from here who could hold safe your belongings for you for just like 1k

I don't understand. Please is ordering Uber's an issue especially if you reside in Lagos not too far from the embassy?

I've been thinking about handling my phone too. How much does it cost for someone to hold on to it?

Lagos

Hello, could you please let me know how you scheduled an emergency appointment in Lagos? Was it through an email to LagosNIV? I need to schedule one quickly. Thank you.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by OGAPEE(m): 7:18am On Nov 05, 2020
Please, I need a clarification. I had already secured an interview date in December before I got an emergency date in November and I will be going for the interview tomorrow, am I suppose to cancel the appointment I have in December before the interview or I can just go ahead with the interview without canceling the appointment in December?
I need guidance on this, thank you!
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Hollyholy: 7:31am On Nov 05, 2020
When filing the ds 160 form, should NYSC be listed under para military or part of work experience?

Also how do you answer the question, where will you quarantine? if you stated the school address as where you will be staying.

Print out the mail for the emergency appointment and go with it for your interview. You don’t have to cancel the old appointment. I think it makes no difference though. Cos lots of people didn’t get appointment at all and was sent email for emergency? Good luck

Or maybe cancelling the invalid one Creates an opening and gives other people access to the date.

Me - The University of Illinois offers a unique concentration in Environmental studies which is the Environmental planning and management course which aligns with my academic and research interest.. (cuts in)

V.O - Your research, what is your research interest? (I was almost lost because this wasn’t in the proposed transcript I prepared, and I didn’t prepare for this question since my program was course based)
Me - Environmental protection, policy and environmental laws (I just said the next that came to my head at that time, but was in line with my interests)

V.O - Tell me about this your research interest. (I didn’t prepare for this question, so I just started to talk about my course instead)

the rest.


V.O - What does your father do?

THINGS I NOTICED.

-Like two of the guys that got denied there, from what I heard, were asked if they’ve traveled out Nigeria, they started to say they’ve been to Ondo state, Ogun state, I’ve been to about 22 states in Nigeria. Please answer according to what you filled in your DS-160.

-Read details in your I-20 & DS-160 well. There should be no conflicting details in them to your answers.

God bless everyone who posted their transcripts, experiences and advise here, I learnt a lot. God’s Grace be with everyone.
