oraclemania:
I was at the embassy today, I saw people Granted, that I was even telling them that I tap into their Testimony, who else saw that small Dada boy that came alone, he was Granted, I saw Lots of people granted, and saw higher % denied including me, Everything went well until he found an ESL on my i-20

kelvinUchiha:
I was at the embassy today and i think its safe to say everybody that apploed before me was rejected both from my window and all the windows around me

Positivity101:
She gave me a white slip with the congratulation stuff, another white paper with the pick up locations and a yellow paper where she ticked AP for me. She told me I will be placed under AP to verify my bank statement and every other they tell you when they approve your visa about when to travel and things you will present at POE

Positivity101:
Bank statement and she made a copy of my I-20

After 3 weeks on AP, I got a mail from embassy today to go pick my passport from dhl and schedule another 221(g) appointment to speak with an interviewing officer. Any idea what this means?

Bhoyo:
Hello House, this is my first time here and I will need to ask a question. I did my interview on 30th July and I was given white paper with small little paper but VO held the SOA of my sponsor and she said I should pick my Visa up after seven working days. Pls am very concerned because when I tracked my application it says Administrative processing. Pls what is my stand now?

Lawrence2291:
Okay..I hope it changes soon cause I have no time left to resume studies. Meanwhile, Im still concerned why the VO held back my sponsor's bank statement despite approving the visa. Its quite strange.

Told myself I wouldn't post anything on NL until something big changes for me.

July 2016: F1 visa approved.
July 2018: GC approved.
July 2018: Job offer accepted.

I'm now a legal permanent resident of this place... and I'm starting my job at progressive insurance on Monday 8/6 in the claims department. Not the best job in the world but I'd take $50k p.a. right now considering all I've been through lol. My second part-time job will earn me between $4h and $1k a month too so... not a bad start.

Now I can come back to NL and give advice like the old days to anyone who wants it. I don't remember the username of that guy who used to tackle me all the time with "body go tell you" posts. Baba, if you can read this, whether it's luck or not, I didn't encounter any of those scary things you predicted o.

Prospective NLers chasing the American dream, ask me whatever you need to know. Against all odds, I came here to study stupid course in a stupid school without any funding. 2 years later, it's all history. It took a bit of luck but who cares? I'm in a better place and that's what matters.

Don't let any keyboard warrior discourage you from chasing your dreams... keep sleeping! Lol.

Abacino007:
Hello house,


I paid my sevis fee with admission from a particular school and I got admitted by another school which I prefer to the first one. Is there a way I can update the sevis fee or I will have to pay another fee?

VO good morning

VO I well thanks

VO why USA
me I choose to study in usa because it's has one of the best education system in the world ,they are practically orientated and couple with the fact that a degree from the U.S is well recognized all over the world ..she dey nod her head like tolotolo.
VO why this school
me I choose alliant international university because it is among the top management university in the u.s couple with the fact that the class to teacher ratio is 23 to1 which would make the class more interactive and conducive for learning ,that state where the school is located (California) has the best weather condition in the u.s .... still nodding , typing very fast
VO which course
me project management
VO why this course
me project management fits into any sector/industry for example construction,manufacturing,information technology etc in my country the fastest growing industry is the construction industry ,she cuts In

who's your sponsor
my dad

what does he do
he works @ the Lagos state employment trust fund as the head of government relations .

bla bla. blaaaa......blue paper
I felt empty .........

in my opinion this are the major factor they considered
1) school
2) statement of account
3) your confidence
4) pray pray and pray

exxy:
it's just Ok sha, Mississippi is a very poor state. but you will survive and as for funding it depends on the school.

Sirtenburg:

Sirtenburg:

dan5loriel:
Pm me I got help on the below question from tolatof I can help you with something to work with something like a template

Judgepelumi:
Yes you can go ahead and book with the same number so long you eventually complete your dsform using that number

LagosismyHome:
That bold could have been said differently or a better reason for Bsc to Bsc..... Bsc to Bsc is harder to convince so that answer should be strong . Also we always advice against one school application

Ie your passion has always been in nursing and having a bsc in microbiology has so many transferable knowledge which you intend to use to make a career switch to nursing . This just a random though

nosagiez:
Thank you very much. My question was actually base on how long my AP will take and not on the balance on my account, because I know they don't check for balance.
They only check for authenticity of the statement provided. Maybe Australia and Canada check for balance, but US doesn't. Thanks once again.

Well they are like treasury bills. But while Tbills are pooled by the government, mutual funds are pooled by private investment firms. You can Google it

Hello House. Here is my transcript. Visa interview held on the 7th

VO: why are you going to the US
Me: to study for my masters degree
VO:Which school?
Me: University of Oklahoma
Did you apply to other schools?
Yes I applied to 5 schools - I named them
VO: Which course
me: Industrial Engineering
VO why university of oklahoma?
Me: OU is the highest ranked of the schools and they offer a specialisation in computational optimization which is an area am interested in
VO: why are you interested in this area?
Me: because I have recently been part of projects in my organization that are related to process improvement and suply chain systems optimization. Even though these projects made significant contributions to the company I realised that we could have done even better if we had someone highly skilled in optimization techniques in the team. I wish to fill that skill gap
VO: What do you do in (my company)? (I guess he saw my company’s name on my DS 160 form)
Me: I work as a (----) in the supply chain division
VO: how will you pay for your program?
Me: from my savings and with the support of my uncle
VO: can I see your bank statement and that of your uncle?
Me: here is my bank statement and here is a mutual fund investment from my uncle which he provided for my education
VO:What does your uncle do?
Me: I told him
At this point he examined both documents carefully.
Yes and he asked whether I was married and I said no. Also whether I had travelled out of the country before and I said no.
Then he said ok that he will put my visa on hold in order to verify my financial documents. He kept my passport and i20 and other forms as well. He brought out a white paper and ticked administrative processing and gave it to me.
I asked him what I have to do now and he said I should just sit tight that they will contact me by text message or email
I said thank you and carry my things waka
My Visa was approved 2 days Later.
Thank God

LagosismyHome:
I am not am expert in fixed deposit but it's possible depending on the maturity date ... if for example a fixed deposit which the money becomes accessible next week that ok but if you can't access the money until January and schools resume in August then no

For i20 it best to call the school and verify what their policy. The most credible information is when you hear it from the source
