Okay !

MrSoftlife:
He/she is allowed to try their luck.
If he can convince the consular officer during his interview I don't see why he won't get his visa.

He has to be prepared to explain beyond a reasonable doubt his study gap.

If he can't convince himself then there's no need to go there.

You and I can't are not the author of his fate!

Shalom!

What do you mean by insurance fee? And what do you need it for?

After your admission and i20, your will apply for visa by paying for mrv at gtbank,then you start your date search here ustraveldocs.com. After you have secured a date ,you will pay for sevis fees through the help of someone in the usa and then you go for your interview.

@Sisib15
Can I apply for visa without paying for insurance fee?

Please, someone should walk me through how and the payments I need to make after from the 350USD

June is available in lagos

August 12 is currently available in abuja

Your chances of getting approved 50/50. When the VO ask when last did you graduate either high school or undergraduate. I hope you have answers for that. I know someone who went for his visa last year, he was 28 years going for an undergraduate program when he just completed his hnd program in Nigeria. The questions the VO ask him was how old are you ? When did you gradute high school ? What have you been doing since graduation?
I will suggest that If you have good grades you can pursue a master degree to enter the United
states and when you get there you can always change your program as long as you have enough funds.
Since your interview is coming up and i know you have made up your mind . Go for you interview but prepare very well. Engage in mock sessions and have people quizz you.

Nomsooooo:
Hello please I’d love to hear from one or two guru’s on here I did apply to a university in Texas for a bachelors degree in computer science . I graduated from university here in Nigeria in 2021 with computer science and I’m currently employed working in IT Please do you think it’ll be seen as a red flag for me during my interview which is coming up in July as against resumption in August . Also to add I’m 23

Find someone in the usa to pay for you

Phayn:
Hello,

Please I need help with US SEVIS fee payment.
How do people go about successful payment of SEVIS fee in the US or can I do it here is Nigeria, if yes, please how do I go about it?

Thanks for your help.

Since no one want to say it , I don't mind if they block me but you are a very silly person with little or no experience with this US visa and admission thing . You are just an hustler looking for food for your family and its only gullible people that will patronize you or the lazy ones like you that can't read that will accept your foolish takes. D

@Sisib15. Your moniker has being using for scams since last year 2023 by the cabals who sent you to me.

1. Kindly point out to the USA website which state it that international student with a college Form I-20 will not be able to secure F-1 visa ?

2. What is the OP business with the high rate of denials at the embassy even for Phd students ? Can you tell us how does it relate to the OP questions?

3. You ended your trash with "

by Sisib15: 1:17pm Although this is just a suggestion, do what works best for you. And why did you accused me of giving wrong opinions when you were just making foolish suggestions which did not come from the official embassy website ?

4. You are a hairdresser pls go and open your shop. You know nothing , i mean nothing about USA F-1/B1-B2 visa process .

5. Your moniker was used for NYSC redeployment scam and Job scams in the year 2023. That is what you know. Nairalanders should start checking profiles before taking people serious.


Best Wishes 🙏

I don't need to reply to your rubbish because it clearly shows that you search people's profile to check for post that suit your agenda. I am still thinking why Just wise is letting you be on this forum. Like I said anybody that wants good for themselves should not listen to you or your advice. Nonsense!

Stop giving people wrong advice . He is 32 and going to the embassy with a college i20 ,do you think that will get him an approval considering high rate of denials recently even for PHDstudents. Tell people the truth, everything is not about admission, the most important thing is the approval.

OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠


1. My first USA VISA was gotten via Cabrillo College (F-1) and i was over 25 yrs of age that year (sorry not bragging pls).

2. There is no age limit in education. While studying at Cabrillo, i assisted another lady who was 35 yr of age and working in a small firm with NCE certificate to achieve the same feat.

3. It's not going to be problem if you can give good reasons for going that route. Some community colleges even have programs which you may not easily find in USA Universities , and they are actually for matured applicants , average American students who have left or drop out of schools , students who love practical studies ie arts and crafts as against reading and calculations etc.

4. Give good reasons for choosing that school, proof that you will return after study, your ties or what will make you return to Nigeria , ability to pay your school fees and your over all profiles (as indicated in your DS-160) will certainly work for you .


Best Wishes 🙏

College is usually a red flag to VO especiallyfor international students. I would suggest you get admission to a university and when you get to the USA you can transfer to a college but for now don't go to the embassy with a college i20.
Although this is just a suggestion, do what works best for you .

Richystep:
Good morning guy's, I just got an admission into a college in Texas, my admission letter and I-20 ready sent to me, my problem is I'm 32 years old now going into a college, do you guys think this is a problem for me during the interview at the embassy

Why did you now write GRE if you don't know yournext line of action. Well, after GRE, any questions you have regarding USA educationput it on google and add nairaland to it.

hernandson:
I wrote GRE and had 329. Can someone help me with few details of how to proceed? Or groups I can join? I haven't been taking this traveling thing serious but I want to now. Thanks

Hey 🤠

1. Now every one knows you are here because of me based on your last words and i knew your mission is to come and support @fearlessfang in the beginning.

2. Go away with your fake visa transcripts. It doesn't work for me . I have never flex muscle of travel histories. Its not a criterion for becoming a USA visa advisor or counselor.

3. I have worked as an apprentice under 3 different USA Visa Attorneys . I am still learning (correspondence program) Educational Psychology/Guidance and Counselling. I have worked personally as a travel agent (based on USA visa only) with offices for more than 15 years before i gave it up.

4. I am now an International Admission & Visa Consultant (Based on USA visa types alone). I am also a registered apprentice under a USA based Immigration Attorney. ** My plan is to become an American Immigration Attorney when i finally relocated .

5. Therefore , tell @fearlessfang, @Debieeeeeee and others of your click that my experiences is not based on having a USA visa or living inside USA.

6. I work online. With phones and laptops. I am constantly online because of businesses and courses. I have the time to use Nairaland as a training ground . Why are you counting the number of my responses?

Good evening great people,

Please I need your kind input in this issue as the matter is more than me.

Someone called me and needed my advise and I do not have an idea on how to start advising the person.

So she said that her school emailed her about a meeting earlier today . I think the email came last week or so.

So when she joined the meeting today, she said they told her that GRE wrote to them(the school) and stated that they are declining the GRE result given to her, reason being that her image Abi her picture is not consistent.

So at this point , I became confused , I asked if she has any issue with GRE prior to now but she opened up and told me that she paid one agent in Nigeria to assist her write the GRE and her score was so high . The GRE result is authentic but was not written by her.

Also this GRE was done to see if she can get scholarship but she didn’t get the scholarship from the school as at the time she enrolled , probably because the fund has finished or something. This GRE was written for her in 2021 and she entered America last year fall. This spring is still her 2nd semester.

While she was still explaining this to me, a mail notification came to her phone and she checked the mail. The mail stated that the school has told her that she is no longer needed in program.

Please any advise for her. She acknowledged that she didn’t do well and has requested I give her my sincere advise . Should she start looking for another school ? Will she affect her record/sevis? Does anyone know anyone that had encountered similar issue in the past ?

My own may 9 is available in abuja

May dates is available in abuja.

I don't think that's a problem. Since its a phd program, i will advise you go with your wife and all your kids for the visa interview and aside frtom your funding, explain how you will cater for them too. Another important thing is that they coming by themselves later on may be tricky and not feasible.So go withyour family. And try to get an earlier date so that if it doesn't work you alone can now go for the interview.

linsa01:
Hello,

Please I need your sincere advice on my case. I'm a newly admitted PhD student. I've 100% funding and Assistantship. On my New Student Information Form (the form is to be used to generate my i-20), I've an excess of $9564 of funding. Meanwhile, POF per dependant for my school is $7k. I've the opportunity to use my excess funding to sponsor a dependant and I'm thinking of including my wife as a dependant on F2 visa.

My fear, however is that I've three children and a foster daughter. They are not going with us, atleast for now.

My Question: Will my situation be favourable given that my children will be back home? I need your inputs and sincere opinions. Thank you.

Honestly, I have quoted like 4 people requesting for his email and his responses are always automated. Like he'son his computer waiting for clients on nairaland

fearlessfang:
Tunji, you are fond of telling people sending you emails privately. You need to cut it out. That’s a very suspicious behavior. Why do they need to message you? What stops them from communicating here? @justwise

Oh,it kinda of expensive and they usuallydon'thave funding like that

chaiks:
San Diego state university. I don't know my deficit yet. I have sent them my official transcript. Hoping to get the formal offer letter detailing all financial awards and deficits.

Can someone please tell me why this? I am trying to search for date but this is what it has been showing me.

Which of the SDSU, is it southdakotastateuniversity? And what is your deficit

chaiks:
Just got admitted to SDSU. They are offering me 3500 USD scholarship, masters research fund amounting to 10k USD annually, nomination for presidential scholarship which would provide a non-resident tuition waiver for five semesters and then possibilities of other work appointments. I am now in the process of sending my official transcripts. What should I do guys?

It's depends on how your school process transcript. They can send it to WES through UPS. You should go there and talk to your principal that's the only way I know

Ellskc:
Thank you 🙏
So it is my school what will mail the physical copy of both my waec and highschool transcript to Wes?
Or it is electronically?
What if I’m not able to get in contact with my school?

For the WES evaluation, You will create an account with WES and then input your academic details, you will select WES ICAP evaluation and also choose US academicevaluation .After that you will need to pay the WES fee of about 217 dollars or so you can check on the website to confirm. This is the trick i used when i was in Nigeria, i dont have the money to pay yet, so i created the account ,fill in my academicdetails (my two results) in your case it will be WAEC or high school.so i thenproceed to use western union as a means of payment (which i don't have the money ) I clicked on the western union thing and I was able to generate an ID .It is this ID i sent to my schools in Nigeria that they use to sent my result to WES.
What I am saying is that you need to generateWES ID which you will take to your high school so they can send your result to WES .

For the third question, i don't know the session you are applying for. If it's fall i will suggest your start your application before march because most schools with funding would have rolled out admissions and funding before you even finish applying .you might be lucky to get admitted but funding might be difficult because you are applying late .If your application is for spring, you are good to go but funding opportunities in spring is limited.
For the third question, the cost of your tuition will determine the amount that you need to present to get your I20. If your aunty will be sponsoring be ready to prove to the VO why you aunty will be spending such a huge amount of money on you when you parents are alive. I hope this helps and if you need any information. Quote me

Ellskc:
Please anyone 🙏 I really need some assistance on this

I willlike to ask about the teaching license, is it compulsoryto be a citizen before you can write the exams

molybdenum0012:
It's not been easy, got two interviews same week for same role, health physicist/radiological health specialist.

The first interview went well as they only asked non-technical questions such as tell us about yourself as someone rightly suggested. I got the offer. But it's in another State, which means I will have to relocate to accept the offer. The pay is a little below 50k/annum. So, I feels it does not worth relocating for so I declined it.


The second interview included technical and non technical questions. I did not prepare for the technical questions even though I managed to answer 2 questions correctly out of 5. For the non technical questions I answered all correctly.

So, right now I don't know if they will offer me the job 'cos obviously I failed the technical questions aspect. I will just give them 2 weeks, if I did not hear from them I move on.

I am also considering teaching in the high school, so already I have rewritten the license exam which I passed and I have like two interviews in the weeks to come.


This is my 7th month here it has not been easy looking for job at all. I can't even count the number of applications I have sent out already with plenty regret emails.

I am only working remotely with a non profit organization for now, and they only give me 20 hours per week of work. You can imagine how small the pay is. If nothing sup by next month, I might just get a small car to use as Uber in addition to my part time job.

Were you able to get a response

Godsfahvour:
Hi,
Sorry to bother you. Please can you assist with required documents for one applying from USA (student) to Canada for VV.

You can email documents too if you don’t mind: godsfavourugokwe@gmail.com

Hi,
I would like to apply for Canada tourist visa from USA. Please how can I go about it

I have forgotten how this is done but i think he needs to wait for 5 days and if he doesn'tget a responsehe can call CGI

Eke40seven:
Apologies if these questions have been answered already; I could not find answers through my search.

Q: A friend got an F1 visa for a PhD (sponsored) but not in Nigeria. His family are still in Nigeria. He booked an appointment on behalf of his family, but he received a message saying they would contact them via email.
Please, how long does it take before one receives this email from the embassy? How soon can the family get the appointment?
I look forward to your answers

I don'tlike discouraging peoplebecausei believe everyone'sjourney is different and you may not know the outcomeof your situation unless you try.
Funding makes the F1 Journey easier in all its ways and you can also get Visa without funding but it all depends on how you play your card and prove to the VO

idirect:
Unrelated but I did appreciate expert opinions on this please.
What can influence the decision for someone to apply for visa with his/her family (partner and kid)? Is it when you have funding? Enough personal/family fund? What will be the home tie in this situation please?

All of you can go for the interview but it based on 50/50 without funding but if there is funding it will make the interview easier. For your case,the 1500 funding is too small. You don't need to pay all at once before going to school but you need to prove to the VO that you can capable of taking care of all the financial expenses including living expenses and others

Khodry:
Please house anybody with information about UF. My wife was given Msc admission with partial scholarship of $1500 dollars per semester for 3semester for fall 2024. Can we go together and our kid and if possible how is the expenses? From what I see in the site tuition is about $13000 and other expenses accrue to about $30000 are we to pay all or some will be in block account? and the Visa processing how is it?
Please it is urgent

Lol.Visa mock People will just be giving nonsense advice up and down. If you admission comes with funding please stick with it

idirect:
Hello people,
Please, I need help. I'm pretty confused right now. I attended a mock interview and the information I got is not encouraging at all.
So, I have my first degree in Business Administration and I have been working as a non-academic staff in a high institution for about seven years now.
I applied for Msc Higher Education Administration in about three schools, Student Affairs Administration in one school and Postsecondary school administration and student affairs in another school. I'm optimistic that I will get at least admission with partial funding in one these schools.
The issue is here is that, I was informed by the guys who anchored the mock interview that I should not go to the embassy with an admission that is not related to my first degree. He added that the course I applied for is not even useful in my home country.He advised that I should apply for MBA or something close my first degree. I really don't know what to do at this point please

You should have done your investigationbefore giving him money.

Honiejenny:
You guys be careful with this guy. I am working with him presently and I will not say much because I am taking this case to the police on Monday morning. I also have his account details which I will also report. But this issue is till on going. When I get to the root of this matter. I will come online to talk about my experience with NewBoyKhashoggi. And if he rectifies his mistakes then I will still come online and clear the air. I will keep everyone updated.

He said he was married before and maybe there are some things the OP did that he did wrong that he doesnot want to share
