This is the first step and I'm sure bolt got the message, if the refused to adjust, they should be expecting another dimension i.e drivers going off the app

pope191:
This is witch hurting... we are having issues, does not necessarily mean we have to wish the end for each other. Can we all come to the table and talk this over.

decorum003:

Hardeydolarpo96:
Bosses in the house please help.

I got an emergency appointment in January but was denied, now my resumption on the new I-20 issued is April and almost 60 days to the new resumption.
My question now is, can I still apply for emergency appointment?

Thanks in anticipation of your response(s)

GeneralZodd:
Pearl why are u always on Bolt side. You said u re one of us, but your comment is always the opposite.
Pearl why are u like this ?......why?

The kind of shitty fares Bolt churn out this days i think drivers deserve bonus to augment their earning.

25% commission no be beans. Drivers deserve a better welfare package.

illumined999333:
Is this answer enough?
I'd be glad if you could provide an elaborate answer as to how the bvn guarantees the loan repayment.

sandammy:

Omotola222:
Thanks please I would like to confirm one more thing must I complete and submit the Ds-160 form before requesting for the Emergency date… because I want to take my time to fill the form again… just want to secure a date first.

I'm applying for a school in USA. I have filled the form and paid the application fee. Please what is the next step? I'm yet to get a message from the school

obinoral1179:
What is affecting most us here especially those of us that are saying bolt/Uber are not sustainable is because we lack contentment.

Babnxst93:
please can you assist with transcript of people that was granted visa with mpower loan and more so how to answer the question of how would one pay the loan back

phemorhino:
Thank you for the prompt response
I just checked now
Mpower does not finance my school

Please do you know any other loan provider that does not require a us co-signer?
Thank you

Ren80:
Good morning everyone.

Please this is my first time attending the visa interview and I would be needing your assistance with the checklist of items I need to attend the visa interview. I just got a visa appointment date yesterday for Monday 31st of January, 2022 at Abuja and I would be traveling from Lagos.

Additionally, I secured a loan with MPower financing and I wanted to know if it’s safe to mention it when asked source of funding.

Please I need your advice house..

Satchy:
Thanks a lot but Please

1. Does Filling another DS-160 form entail paying another Visa fee since I have entered the previous receipt reference number on my CGI profile already.

2. Can I fill another ds-160 now and choose Abuja since Lagos seems congested or should I just wait till I am ready for emergency?

Satchy:
Please does it mean that even if you apply for Visa first in Lagos and couldn't get a favourable date, you can apply for emergency in Abuja even though you chose lagos in your ds-160?

h20water:
Does anyone know what this means?

Youngman50:
I have my visa interview tomorrow but I have done only the first COVID 19 vaccination ( I haven't done the second one).

Please, will I be interviewed.

bukhety:
Guy have u gone for your interview? You never share your transcript oh! Or did I miss it?

sbot:
Three(3) things:

1. VISA approval.
2. Bad decisions.
3. Approaches.


1. Pack your documents days to your appointment. Print those things and use colored for those in colored.

Appointment confirmation
Ds-160 confirmation
I-20
SEVIS fee receipt
Visa fee receipt
Int'l passport (if you have renewed, go with all of the passports you’ve ever had)
Passport photograph (min. of 2 copies)
Admission letter
Funding letter and
Statement of account

2. Maintain Positivity:
Sadly, not everyone would get approved. You’d see blue papers flying around. But should you get one, not the end of the world.
You’ve come a long way, from expenses and all. This isn’t no time to give up. Stay positive.

3. No pressures
From hearsay, ‘you’d be disorganized when you see people getting denied’,
My observation is you need to keep yourself in checks and know that your case/reality might be different.

To be honest, at a point, I felt like taking an excuse to go ease myself just to avoid a particular V.O that was issuing out blue papers, but no, I summoned courage and went to meet him.

4. Strategize:
Had some songs I penned down at the interview location while I was seated and I started singing and nodding to them
- You’ve got time and seasons in your hands… (You’re God from beginning to the end…)
- It is done (Rev. 14:13)
- He doesn’t want you to cry, He just needs you to fly…

This helped calming me down. Wasn’t even thinking of how I’d be answering no question. I knew God’s got me and even if it doesn’t happen at this time, I have confidence in Christ that it probably isn’t God’s timing for me (refer to the first song above).

5. Prepare to the best of your ability.
Sadly, I didn’t take no mock interview(s) not like I didn’t want to but really didn’t find someone because I was just lazy to find one. Howbeit, I read quite a couple of transcripts on here.
Remember number 4 point above? Stay calm, God is in control of your life.

6. Come correct:
V.O isn’t no demon. Talk to them as if you are to a friend/brother during an interview.

Sadly, you do not pass all interviews in the real world. I’m a testimony to this, failed many interviews but we keep it moving.

You’re there to prove why you need to be issued a visa. This isn’t no politicking. Not sure you can bribe no one at this point.

Maintain your frame and confidence with the mindset that it isn’t the end of the world. We all have our realities at different point in time.

If possible, attend interviews in the outside world and fail, that would help boost your confidence.

To be brutally honest, one V.O that issued blue papers might be justified.
The way the people presented their cases, you can tell what the outcome would be.
Howbeit, maybe pressures and all did contribute to their disposition (Not easy at all)

He’d look through you and wants you to present your case logically. I think I do agree they’re psychologists at this point.

7. Ask questions when not clear
I did ask the V.O to repeat a few questions I didn’t get. Remember you’re talking to someone that’s like your friend?
Don’t be afraid. It’s better to get the question than digress unnecessarily. That can be annoying.
Damn it, it’s either a yes or a no. They’re not going to kill you. Please ask when not clear.

8. If possible, fill your DS-160 yourself.

9. Your reality is different

10. Have you travelled out before?
This in some way(s) would likely disorganize you due to things you must have heard especially if you are not travelled. I believe there’s a first time to doing things.
Maintain your frame and confidence. This is no time to start thinking of what people have been saying.
You probably still have an opportunity to turn things around to your favor.

11. He makes all things beautiful in His time.
You not getting it probably has a reason. Should you give up on your dreams? I do not think so.
Brace yourself up, the journey is still far but the victory is ahead. Just like the eagle teaches the eaglet how to fly, He doesn’t want you to give up, He wants you to fly.

The peace of the Lord be with you, Amen!

Three(3) things:

1. VISA approval.
2. Bad decisions.
3. Approaches.


1. What if my flight got cancelled?

Left Lagos to Abuja on Green Africa (quite affordable), flight was meant for 7:10pm but rescheduled to 9:35pm.
Interview was meant for 9:15am the following day. So, I really didn’t have ample times to quickly look for another flight.

2. I did put up with a friend instead of booking an hotel few minutes away from the airport

We left home for about 7:30am and got caught up in an unusual traffic. Had to alight and walked some 15mins. before getting another ride, got to the embassy at 9:00am for an interview meant for 9:15am.

What does this mean?
I’d most likely be under pressure as I’m running hard against schedule. This isn’t where you want to be.

Quite an hard one. This very close friend of mine wouldn’t have forgiven me if I didn’t put up with him, BUT,

If I’m to advise anyone, do book an hotel some walking distance to the embassy.

3. Hold enough cash
I had some N600 left on me, neither had no phone nor an ATM card on me. Dropped my personal effects with my good friend who checked in at his workplace.
Paid N500 to have someone arrange my documents at the entrance.

Was lucky enough to have someone order a ride for me and also paid for same to the tune of a N500. Dashed security guys the remaining N100 left on me.

Thank God I did collect my friends office address and contact and penned it down.

The Bolt driver was kind enough in calling him to coming out to get me from outside his office.

The bad part is; the fact that I was rushing because I was running late would probably mean I’d forget to get this friends contact penned down.

I’m not familiar with the terrains of Abuja, by the way.

Babnxst93:

Although you don't have your I-20 yet and you've not paid the SEVIS fee, you can still go ahead to book a date for your interview. This is the trick: Pay the visa/MVR fee. Commence the DS-160 process and save your Application ID, you will not complete or submit the form as you don't have your SEVIS ID yet, however, proceed to book a date with the Application ID. Once you have your SEVIS ID, complete and submit the DS-160 form, but this must be done within 30 days.
Remember, you'll have to pay the SEVIS fee 3 days before your interview date.
