So because a University Chemistry Department is looking for foreign applicants because of low population of students and offers scholarships to attracts them means that applying to such school guarantees visa ? Or a Nigerian who graduated from Economics or Linguistics dpt should apply to such school all because of the scholarships ? That is the gospel of deceit you are preaching to upcoming F1 VISA apllicants.

1. You guys usually spoil their VISA success foundations by misleading them from the admission process.

2. Scholarships and fundings is not a visa determinant. Its only compulsory for Phd applicants but despite that why are 75% of Phd F1 VISA applicants gets refusal despite fundings ? Because they must satisfy THE MAIN F-1 VISA REQUIREMENTS.

3. Scholarships and fundings only helps your family in the area of Proof of Funds. It does not Guarantees VISA.

Good day everyone,

So I initially asked this question but I’m not sure I was clear enough , so I’m here again . So I’m a 23 year old I’ll be 24 in December , I graduated from university here in Nigeria with computer science in 2021 and i currently hold an IT role . Fast forward to this year so I applied to a school in Texas for a bachelors in Computer science as well with part scholarship and my Sponsor can very much cover my COA . My interview is coming up in July but my question is will it be a red flag on my path have that my previous bachelors degree was in computer science and I’m going for another bachelors in computer science . Please I would really appreciate every opinion I can get on this . It’s been giving me anxiety lately. Thanks in advance .

Hi.
It's not true stop misleading people. If there is pls help your friend to post the legit sources or 're u just talking of hand ? Wia is the embassy website or links dat says receiving fundings contributes towards ur visa ?

Phd fundings is the most relevant to the US Consulate 'n despite dat majority of them still gets visa denial if they cannot meet other visa requirements.

Majority of institutions esp private re spoiling the relevant of fundings because they gave it out unnecessary in order to attract int-students n US consulates re aware.

Do ya wanna hear ? The US consulates now based your student prowess and rate u as an outstanding student thru ur waec, transcripts and cgpa. Consulate does not trust gre, gmat, toefl and fundings again because they re being compromised.

Fundings n scholarship does not add to your visa success . Meeting study visa requirements is wat gives u visa. Show me the link wia fundings or scholarship is part of US visa requirements? I'm waiting 4 ur reply ? Cheers.

IggyAzalea:
Okies post the sources of your statistics for everybody to see. I am waiting 🙄.
If you cannot post the sources u 're a big liar who shud stop generalising base on what u think. Cheers.

TechieNg:
guys please what is the standard duration for statement of account for visa interview

Helpout12345:
It looks like you need to build your profile further along those 10 criteria. Look at those criteria, check those you can build quickly within few years and work towards them.

You can pursue OPT, H1b for now while building your profile towards NIW or even EB1A.

This is perfectly normal. Many people spend years to build the profile and I think you are on right track there.

semmyk:
Do you have publication from your Masters
- is your publication in top tier journals (or at least Scopus listed)
- did you present at a highly regarded conf and was your paper peer-reviewed
- is the conference or journal highly rated in your field. NB: this is field/discipline specific
- did your computing work or part thereof lead to an innovation (or innovation of some sort)
- Did you have a patent application or was your work cited in a patent application (whether by the patent applicant or mandated by the patent body)

Lovethchisom:

Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?

Vikrex:
PLEASE RESPOND OOOO PLEASE GUYS

1. Please oooo If your say you don't have sibling in the U.S, will they be able to know if you actually have or not ?


2. And Please ooo If you edit your ds-160 and add the new conf code to your cgi portal, will they be able to find out anything about the old one you edited ??

ancestorial:
Must passport photo be uploaded on DS160 form or can I bring the passport along on the day of interview?

Samdanny01:
Hi , please why is it seen as as a red flag?

Marvel95:
any one going to Clayton State University.. And is there anyone scheduled for visa appointment on the 11th of July (Abuja). I heard there's going to be a public holiday on that day.. Eid Kabir. So Im just wondering what will be done; will the embassy reschedule or the individual has to scout for another date?

Adarabi:
Boss I hail ooo…please can I use a business bae account for soa?

Funmilayo1994:
Gudevening Nairaland . To request for emergency date , can I use earliest resumption date to get the 60days or must it be program start date ?

Chiseven:
If you got an admission without a funding and have submitted same in the DS-160 and later got another admission from another school with funding. Is it possible to retrieve the submit DS-160 and change the school as well as the SEVIS no?

Stevenssen:
First of all get your i-20 from the new school. Then,

For your ds-160 :
Retrieve your old ds-160 form, it'll tell you that this form has been submitted and ask if you want to view the confirmation page or create new one from it, select the later option. A new one will be created with many details from the old one and only very few key information that you have to refill. You can as well make changes anywhere on the new one if you want.
Make sure you write the new number out and update it on your profile.
ps : you can update your ds-160 on your profile as long as it's more than 72 hours to your interview.

For your Sevis fee : go to fmjfee dot com . Check your i901 status, then from there you'll see an option to transfer to a new school.

Also remember to update the necessary details on your visa appointment profile.

How many times can someone reschedule on one appointment profile??

Chilexeve:
Please I need someone's opinion on this.

Five of my siblings are in the USA. One of them is presently an assistant professor in the school I'm going to for my MA. In fact, she lectures in the same department I'm going for and she's the graduate coordinator. I have funding (graduate assistantship). I am married with kids and I won't be going with them.

These are my concerns:

1. How to prove to the VO that I will return upon graduation, considering the fact that I have siblings who didn't return upon their graduations. They are working.

2. How to answer the questions about how I got to know the school, the course, and how I was able to get the funding. I suspect they will feel my sis helped me.

Please someone should help me.

Temahjeff1:
Hello guys.
I got an appointment date on the 8 at abuja embassy and I have some few questions..

Do they request for a statement of account from my sponsor to take to the embassy?

What are some possible though questions vo ask’s?
Thanks

Dreamsss:
Guys please, I know USA is not Nigeria, but is there no chance at all that I can be admitted into masters programs with a 2.6 gpa, that set 3.0 or 2.7 as their requirement? I really want to study something I enjoy and would build a career in, so I wish to get in. My 2.6 undergrad CGPA is completely as a result of the Nigerian system, as I was getting E and Fs for courses with content as stupid as "define mood' and name ways to commit suicide, but I can't explain that to an Oyinbo school... please how do I go about this? I'm prepping for the GRE, but I hear that cannot even help the case, if a required gpa has been stated. Please what do I do?

I wish to get into the Ms.Cardiovascular Technology or Audiology or Exercise Physiology or Occupational Therapy...or even Public Health...something that could put me in a hospital setting..I need help

Laids:
Good evening house,

A friend of mine needs an urgent advice. Is it possible to use a school to get visa and go to another one on getting to US? both schools have different resumption dates and they're also in different states.

Your response will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
