Nobody will ask you about your medicine at the POE. Take enough that will last you. Keep some in your carry on and others in your check _in bag
Muyideenwriter:
hello guys, I got my visa approved around June and will be leaving for the united states around mid-August. I have a medical problem, I am an hypertension patient and have been placed on hypertension-controlled medications. the medication is a lot and I am planning on taking medication that will last me for three months. The fear I have is the scrutiny and the questions I will face at the point of entry and how to answer questions bothering the medication at the point of entry. Moreover, I will like to know if anyone has been in this situation before and how best were able to maneuver this situation at the point of entry and at the united states since I need to see a physician in the united states and I was told insurance is not cheap.

Go with the second and have the interview with your f2
masquellett:
Hello guys, I need someone to be brutally honest with me.

I was given admission into two schools for MSC Accounting, now the issue is:

Interview is in august the 17th. First school starts August 19th. School will not extend I-20 or give letter of extension to me. That is the same school I filled in my DS-160 form for visa interview. I also intend on going for the interview with my two kids both on F2.
Also, second school starts August 28th. What are my options?
Should I update my interview profile with the I-20 from the second school and go alone to the interview without my kids? because I can only update my profile with the new ds-160 number. It does not allow me to update my kids ds-160 forms in the online profile.
OR differ my admission to spring to properly get an earlier date and prepare for school.

I will appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Papilagreen:
So today am a little bit free and lazy I have much time at hand so I just feel I should sher this tips and if you are able to benefit from any of this. Send me a thumbs up and I might be motivated to shear more.

Okay so before I dive in, this topic is not just for people mostly students who are already in the United States but those who plan to come over in the future then I hope this helps..

Before I start I wan drop one small quote or advice for una wain get plans to study in America in future.. see stop procrastinate if u wan do am start am now or na u go still waste time and effort. This is my reason..
2019 December I left 9ja, when I was paying for my visa application fee for the embassy then it was 85,980 naira. As of today it is 150. Thousand naira plus I was shocked it skyrocket like forex I wan mad so the more time u waste the more money u pay in dollars so take ur future by ur hands and act now.

So this all exclude the process of applying and securing your visa, this process is after.
So here it goes..

1, No amount of money u carry come will get u financially prepared for what you will face financially when u get here.
Today's amount rate of dollar to naira, if u come here to come buy anything, fear go catch u when u convert am to naira equivalent. U no need seel ur papa last land to come here carry the small change u get come just make sure say e go last u 3 months minimum just Incase u no know anybody here as per JJC.

2. Before u leave 9ja try as much as possible to read about everything u can about the state and area ur school is located, try and know the major busy spots in that locations i.e, restaurants, bars, bakery, recreational parks, hospitals etc. All this you can do via Google just try and know some major things about the town B4 u land trust me it will help I will tell u later on.

3. Even after u secure ur admission ND visa, try as much as possible to keep in constant communication with the school via email, make sure they know you departure and arrival date at the us. Infact breakdown ur travel intent for them to know it will help you on this two major grounds I sublist below:

a, Incase u are having issues at the port of entry with the border protection officer, I have seen this happen before they will stop you just for no reason and ask you questions like where are you going to, who are you going to meet and the reason you come here. If you can not answer those questions correctly and as well provide contact information of the school they might send you back home. So in summary, if that happens to you and the BP officer reaches out to the school, they will be able to confirm you as one of their student and tell them exactly where and when u will arrive so you have a solid case..
My own village people no follow me reach that side I use central market distract them so I cross am easily.

b, the school might even provide you free transportation ride from the airport to the school if they have your schedule with them it is considered a vip treat for you all international students 😁.

4, no go waste all ur money buy cloths save every dime u can just carry ur natives them and few old clothes come just buy one nice shoe wear come.

Reasons are:

a, clothes we wear here are different

b, I give u 7 months tops u go fat big pass those cloths and the clothes no go fit u again lol so it's useless now because long troat go make u wan eat everything u no go know when u go tell urself to find gym to go exercise..

5, as soon as you land school, take note this will help u alot.. trust me on this..

First thing to do is go for your international student orientation then go and register for classes.
Then immediately after that, go to the student employment office center and apply for a job. It doesn't matter what type of job u get first on campus. I.e, some campus jobs are great less stressed while some go stress u die just get one. By law, international student are able to work 20hrs a week to my best knowledge unless dem don change am because I no know again I now work full time because I am pass that stage.
So we continue... So as a soon as u secure job, by law if u get any job for America u must get social security number which is a must. But here is the trick because u are only allowed to to work 20hrs a week, u will be given a social security card which is only for work with some certain restrictions. But here is the catch.
It comes with a lot of benefits so I will try and break them down real quick.

If you able to secure a job ( you have to act quick because sometimes job positions are taken quick so no go dull) you will be given a letter to take to the social security office for you social security card/number application. Go there do ur paper work pay the fee not that expensive depending on the state u are prices varies.
Apply and get ur card although it takes about a week or two to get. it when it arrives your mailbox, rush to the nearest Drivers licensing registration office in your county, go with you international passport ur new social security card and proof of address and apply for a driver's license. ( You need to take a short exam and a driving test to pass and get ur drivers license). With ur license now in ur possession, u can no drop ur passport at home u no go dey carry am Waka again Incase police stop u for road.
Finally I know say all the money u carry come go don finish on bills no money for food etc. Use ur SSN and driver's license apply for discovery credit card. U get $1500 minimum use am dey survive no go over do just use for food and pay back every month amount due it will help u build ur credit score for the future.

I think I will stop here for now make I no get una bored but if una need more scope e plenty.. I go sher with una how una go dey fit work and pay ur school fees wella in no time if I get good comments as motivation

I take God beg Una pls be careful o A friend of mine in the US just called that her friend (not someone I know personally) went for her interview today, she was self sponsored but the agent had edited her i-20 to show that she was funded by the school. She was granted the visa but it seems the VO checked the i-20 on his system after she left and realized there were two different things. They called her back using a public address system and the VO asked for her funding letter which she could not provide, he then collected her white paper, returned her passport /gave her 221g administrative processing letter and told her to send them the funding letter via the consulate email, ofcourse they will confirm from the school. I don’t think I need to tell you that this ll probably end in a visa ban. Agent is telling her to write email to school now to beg them for funding, even if it’s 5k.. see how crazy that sounds? He don commot hand. This will put the school, Nigerians in general, and even funded students on

He can't edit that part out because he has gone for an interview before. If the Vo should run a background check on him, they may see the information and it could lead to a ban for him. Like the OP above has said, look fpr ways to answer that question.

Edit it out, don’t shoot yourself. Nobody is checking anything, and you will be interviewed based on your current ds-160 information. Consulate also knows people’s status changes.

As in ehn, add that particular information on your ds160 is so unnecessary and most people will say if you don't add them the Visa officer will know.
How will the visa officer knows something you didn't add in your profile. They work with the information on your ds160

Omo.. this is crazy mehn. How can he even remedy this? Except he can reapply and hope to have a lenient VO.

I think it is just best to omit the information from the DS160 if you have siblings who went through F1

Putting your family on your ds160 when you know they went on F1 visa is a redflag. Moreover, i don't think they have any help they can render by putting them in terms of helping you get your green card, so why would anyone wants to complicate things fir themselves!

Dating And Meet-up ZoneRe: Can't We Have An Agent's Abroad That Does This For "JAPA " Purposes? by Sisib15: 10:47am On Jul 17, 2023
Thank you so much

My course is fully funded and I will face my book because this journey looks scary from far
Papilagreen:
Well m glad I could help the best way I can. So let me try and answer you question the best I can..
So I have never been to south Dakota before but I do know one thing for a fact... It is one of the coldest region of America almost close to Alaska but not as bad as Alaska.the summers are hot and mostly clear and the winters are freezing, snowy, windy, and partly cloudy for a fact..

Now if you are not used to the cold or if nobody don tell u bout the cold here for America bros I go try dey honest with you be ready for the cold.. na the first thing wain I first regret the first day I land America. As I come out from the airport final exit gate, na cold push me back inside quick quick not regarding the sweater I wan putting on..

So here are my advice I have for you..

1 have you already gotten you visa approved? If yes then congratulations and jump to the next step..

No go buy plenty cloths say u dey come form big boy and just buy one one sweater when u dey come save the rest money till u come y enter goodwill or salvation army get very cheap good sweater for the American weather..
Also do more research on how the school is the weather and the environment and then start reaching out to the school to look for job as an international student because believe me when I say the small change u dey carry come no go do u anything so start email ur school look for job because you go need am and e go help u py ur bills it will be a life saver for u.

Also like I did earlier quick find campus job so dem go fit issue you social security work permit so you go fit get drivers license and credit card to fit start boost your credit score..
Also when u reach here face ur book and no too let this oyinbo children life style of partying 24/7 make u lose focus ooo because dem don lnd already from birth and u know watin carry u dey go there..
So with this small story I say all the best and hit me up if you have any more questions and I will be glad to assist if I am free.

Thank you Papilagreen, I have been following you comment and they are all what i need. I will be cpming to south Dakota state as a student, please what can you say about that state and how can i maximum opportunity there
Papilagreen:
Bro e no easy like that oooo.. that one ehn.. the paper process long die and some times self the thing still be like student visa dem go still deny you for any godderm reason.. and the process long pass student visa rout.

I know person wain dey assist give professional advice and assistance on how to beat go about the process and from past experiences from people who had to come via marriage route (i.e the wife or husband come from yanki come marry him partner for 9ja) after marriage the person go back to start the process e dey take very long time and still dem dey deny am like student visa and all regular visa..
The questions dem dey ask for embassy na physiological questions if u no smart and focus you go mistake for your answer and dem go deny you and sometimes na just luck because I don see person wain only sabi speak him father name for full sentence and dem grant am visa when we ask am him say him use better body language dey explain as him dey try speak him English to the VO.

My best advice na come as a student and take your time do the thing and I no go lie even after you make am here to America e no go easy for you for your first few 4 to 6 years but last last u go dey alright. But I no lie u right now America recession don dey bad small money no dey stay hand but you go see food eat bellefull and save small thing if family and friends back home no suck all from you that's why when you give always use wisdom.

Finally finally everybody luck and destiny different.
People dey wain try like 5 times before dem grant am visa also I know person wain don try like 3 times B4 dem give am visa. Me na one time I try dem give me some of my 3 friends I help to come here as well dem all get their visa but my kid brother went but dem deny am and this was like 3 months back.
He will still try again later. The only thing be say na the waiting time his first time took a total of a year and a month waiting because no early interview date for embassy. My advice is even if dem deny you try try again.na just time e go take.
Me I came to America December 2019 as a student I am already done and married happily with a beautiful daughter and I already get my baba blue. My advice keep trying no give up. Try use school come na the best way many perks involve. You get many benefits if you come as a student.
Make I drop pen here for now it's getting late here I rest my case and quietly exit the room.

Congratulations!!
Welcome to Biden's land
TenaciousOrphan:
My Visa Interview Transcripts (Caveat Long Read) Sorry for posting it now, I wanted to see how my visa looks like first. Accept my apology.

I started applying to schools since 2019 but I promised myself that I won’t go to the embassy until I get full funding. I have been making application mistakes since that time until I discovered what I was doing wrong. So I applied in 2019, 2021 but was not successful. In 2022 applications I applied to 11 Schools and got 5 Fully Funded PhD Admissions.
My Interview Profile and Transcripts is below:
NB: This white VO on earpiece was denying plenty people, so I was always pretending to use the toilet. 3 times I left the queue but was still sent back by the CGI official.
Profile:
School: Florida State University
Program: PhD in Sociology
Funding: Fully Funded ($52, 211)
Interview Location: Lagos
Interview Date: July 7th 2023.
Interviewed by: The dreaded VO on earpiece.
First Time.
Status: Visa Approved
VO: He signal me to come forward.
Me: Good Morning but he didn’t respond.
VO: Where do you work and what do you currently do?
Me: I work at xyz University as a Research and Administrative Assistant and my duties includes…VO cuts in
VO: Are you married?
Me: Yes, with a son.
VO: Why are you applying alone without your family?
Me: My wife is currently busy at her work place and her annual leave was not granted.
VO: So are you saying you will be staying in the US for 5 to 6years without your family? It is better you guys go together for this period of your study, are you processing hers already? -set up question 1.
Me: My wife wanted to accompany me to settle down and return to resume her work but her annual leave was not approved…..because she’s currently very busy in her place of work.
VO: So you mean they will never come to the US throughout your program?
Me: She will visit when she is free at her work place. She also needs to develop her career too as I am doing mine. I will also be visiting when I have the time.
VO. Since you are going for a PhD, will it not make sense to get a job in the US after your graduation? Because you will earn more money in the US and so many universities will be looking for your service. - set up question 2.
Me: That will not be possible because I am signing a bond with my University in Nigeria and if I disappoint on that bond, they will report me to all the universities in Nigeria and the school I am attending in the US. And this will seriously affect my career. So even though it would have been better it’s not possible.
VO: Where do you work again and what do you do?
Me: I work as a Research and Administrative Assistant at XYZ university. At this point he checked my Linked profile and search google to confirm. I saw his computer reflection in his glass window.
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: 11 schools and 5 gave me fully funded PhD admissions
VO: I will be approving your visa.
Me: Thank you and I did not hear any other thing he said. I just left the hall very fast. Though I later came back because the applicant before me mistakenly packed my documents.

I left the embassy after giving out some free Will gifts to the few beggars I saw on the way. When I got to my hotel I started playing a song by Edna Ogholi titled: ‘Okeoghene Omai woma’ in my language; which when translated means “God time is the best” and shared tears of joy.
Thanks a million to those who have contributed to my success in this Journey. Especially Mr
Firebreeze (a candle loses nothing by lighting another), Fairheart, Faith-my sister that got her Visa at the 11th time of asking amongst others. I am honored.

The man should stay back in Nigeria and continue with the business or if he goes with the wife without a defined plans. He will be frustrated and most times, abroad use to test relationship

Lagos released july date yesterday. Please join search date group
Kemmiiee:
Hello all, I just logged into my UStraveldocs portal and the earliest date I saw was November 8. I just closed the tab and did not bother to select. I have a couple of questions though:

1. Is it possible to still see an earlier date like August later? My start date is September 5

2. Should I just pick the earliest date and apply for Emergency appointment?

Thanks in advance

p.s. Can somebody please post the link to a Lagos date search group? Thanks.
TravelRe: F2 Visa Denied by Sisib15: 7:12am On Jul 12, 2023
Share this in the student visa thread and i read this transcript in the some group i belong.
Hope you filled married on your ds160 and also both of you could have backed dated your marriage when filling your ds160.
Another advice is she can also try the F1 route too.
OLAOLUWA92:
Please I need your advice on my wife's F2 Visa application. I got my VISA approved on 17th May 2022, we got married on 21st July 2022 and I left Nigeria on the 4th August 2022. We got married 2 weeks before I left Nigeria......she has currently done change of name......her passport carries my name and we have all the marriage documents and all

My wife went for her F2 VISA interview today 11th of July (this morning ) in Lagos.....she was denied

I have a fully funded Ph.D. that covers for her without any deficit, she's a medical laboratory scientist in Nigeria with good earnings, so I think to some extent we have a good profile

She told me she answers all the questions confidently...but the VO keep repeating

" You married in July and he left in August?"
"You married 2 weeks before he left Nigeria"
"You got married after his VISA interview "
"So did you guys leave together before he left "

Her response to the question was "Our wedding date have been fixed before his interview, our families have met, we, ve had an introduction between the two families and right there our wedding date has been fixed, we have sent out our wedding IV and preparation for our wedding has been ongoing before his interview"

She said she answers all the questions she asked her but she kept repeating the questions on the time of marriage....it's obvious she's having issues with how our wedding goes ( maybe how close to my departure date)

Our wedding should be one year in a few weeks.....she has really been so depressed..... I'm planning to apply for another VISA interview immediately and maybe she should go to Abuja now thou date has been the issue.

Please I want to ask, can re-apply immediately?

Please how best can we answer these questions revolving around our wedding?
