Hello, how was your interview

chinwe12:
Countdown to my interview, I pray it will be successful, i hope to have my own view of yankee next year

Yes but under the table jobs

hustla:


Dependents cant work right?

Join mock session to perfect your answers. I wish you well in your next attempt

Ogundare26:
I just finished secondary School and I thought going to a college was also a good idea before transferring to a university and I just need to do 2 years in the community college and transfer to a university to do the remaining 2 years since it's also allowed
I have also wrote down some points I could say when I go for my next interview and the vo asks me why I'm going for an associate degree.

Maybe you should apply to university. Sometimes, VOs frown upon colleges. I won't advise you to reapply again for visa without changing something in your approach.

Ogundare26:
My dad is the one funding me throughout I don't have anyone else to do it for me

Just be patient, you will definitely get a date. Hope you picked regular instead of previously denied.

Olawrites:


Thanks. I've called them 3 times but they kept saying that I'd need to wait till it get approved, that the customer service can't FasTrack it or do anything about it.
Now, I'm patiently waiting for them.

I will get date soon.

First all, colleges don't give funding, your best bet is to apply for bsc in universities. With a good profile you can get some sort of funding.
Secondly, going for second Bsc is the problem but the problem will be How old are you and why are you going for your bsc now, and why college . If you can answer those questions in the presence of VO convincingly you should be fine.
Thirdly, have a good profile, apply to university, get your Visa and when you get to the USA you can transfer to a college

hustla:


Is it possible to get funding from community colleges for Associates Degree? What are the chances of someone with a previous BSc in something unrelated getting a visa using associates degree?

If yes, what's the best way to go about the funding and does it increase one's chances of securing a visa?

Apologies for my many questions, just wanted to kill 4 birds with one stone

Call the lagos embassy so they can review it for you and you have funding. It will be easier for you

Olawrites:


Thanks. I've not gotten a date.

Lagos has been difficult with their review & approval for second timer and Abuja on the other hand has been stingy releasing new dates.

It is well.

That's my situation right now.

@olawrites.Trust you are doing well and I hope you have gotten a date now

Olawrites:


Lagos has refused to approve date for second timer as it can even take you weeks to get reviewed and approved (if possible). Just stick with Abuja if they release date anytime soon you grab yours.
Hopefully they release soon

Yes, you can change to Lagos. Fill a new dsI60 and state the reasons for denial

Emmymajesty:



Can I change from the Abuja embassy to the Lagos embassy, since my D-160 is showing Abuja.

Lastly, I was earlier refused under section 214b and now no dates or calendar is showing in my account for weeks now.

You can use 3 months or 6 months bank account as long as you have sufficient funds to cater for your needs. Submit and get your i20

Dharmielorlarh:
Hello
Pls I need help o
If the school is asking for statement of account not more than 3months. Can someone start POF for one month then present to the school for i-20?
Pls very urgent

Do you have funding. Get some funding and try again and also, work on your confidence too

Ogundare26:
Please TEMITOPE and everyone else this is my transcript for my denied interview last week what do you have to say about it

September date is available for previously denied in lagos.

Choose regular

febishola20:


I’ve been denied before, but that was like 7 months ago

And you didn't post your transcript for us to learn

ikelords:
do nothing.. I submitted mine 48hrs to interview date ... And I got the visa. No one should put fear in you.

Choose regular

qlam:
Good Day all. Pls which category does a person that was Previously Denied 7 months ago belong .

You were late or you have been denied before

febishola20:


I’m only seeing November dates, please help

Yes

GlorifiedNoW:


Hello, how do you mean "Lagos date is out?" Does it mean if one uses Lagos embassy you'd get a close date like this same June?


Please, chat me, I just send you a mail . Check your inbox. THANKS

July is available in lagos

Lagos date is out

Additional affadivit of financial support

Tekzyflex:


Check very well. Which of the affidavit of support is required. Is it birth certificate or change or name?

Is just that i received a mail that document missing from NVC and they said it's affadivit of support that's why I'm asking

lily156:
For you to get to the embassy stage, you would have gone through NVC and you would definitely have submitted an affidavit of support from the sponsor or a co-sponsor.
It is therefore surprising that you're asking this question.

we've been asked to submit affadivit of support and come to the embassy with. How can we get this affadivit of support

Finish up

Please, is it compulsory to prepare for mock session for IR2 interview questions and amso what are the documents we need to submit during the interview

They've offered a friend admission

Truth2018:
Please who has applied for Fall 2023 term to New Mexico State University? Have they responded back to you? I am yet to receive any feedback from them.

Those that travel with their spouse as dependent on F2 visa, can you please share your experience, your pains, frustration and good moments for those that are coming. Things they need to prepare for and watch out for.

You were not informed! Your sister went on F1 visa definitely, you will behave like your sister that's what the Vo feels
