Which data?data of kids they have. I hear you

lying about how many kids a brother has can lead to inconsistencies in your application.
And yes, they can easily get that data if they want to verify it.

Simplystella:
Please how do I answer the question of what is your study plan

saheed0011:
your response should go like this, I believe I know myself pretty well in terms of what works best for me while studying. I am a firm believer that quality study is far more effective than sitting down there reading for hours upon no end. Quality study involves writing down key learning points from each lessons. Also I have since discovered myself that I am more effective studying at evening time of the day during which my level of concentration and assimilation is always at is peak. So, I have already have plan in place to make sure that my studies are effective and utilize my time very well while at the university.

Others too should contribute

Study plan is simply the courses you will take, total credit hours, compulsory courses required to graduate etc. It should be on your department's program requirement page of your school's website.

crystalsaint:
Please how long does it take for a university in USA to give admission for masters program..we have already submitted everything they asked for since April and they have not gotten back to us.

It can usually take anywhere from a month to 5 months.
It depends on the school, department etc

Tirinng:
Good evening all
School summer period is from what to what month in USA?

Usually June to July

Ijchichi5190:



The VO probably refused you cos of your brother. I advice that next interview,if asked about your brother,say they have atleast 3kids or 2kids with the woman he married cos VO believes is an arrangee marriage and probably why they have no kids in the union.

You're advising him to lie. You think they don't have the data?

official4000:

I chose it myself because my uncle stays close to it.

That school offers a program that will allow me switch to Texas tech and get a bachelors in 2 years after I’m done with the associates degree. I was planning on explaining that but she cut me off anyway. How many American 17 year olds are in college? I saw someone on here with that exact explanation and they got the visa in one try! But going forward I guess I will have to change the school cos I cant re-apply without changing anything

They don't care about you switching or not. Please choose a good, reputable school that you will start with a bachelors program. Don't choose an unknown school because your uncle stays close. They see cases like that every time and they know those schools are easy to get into and mostly used by agents to get easy admission for people or by those targeting a specific city.
All the best.

Oluwaseyi1873:
Good afternoon,I need your help
After when I had requested for my i-20 and was sent, I was offered a graduate assistantship that covers my tuition and stipend. I have been trying to request for a new i-20 but she said I should use thie old one and attached the assistantship letter at the embassy. is it possible? Won't it affect me during the interview. Thank you

I think you should let them know that it will be tricky getting approved with an i-20 that does not reflect what your GA letter says. Tell them that can cause your visa to be denied. Call the school, Email them. Let them know you cannot go forward with the interview till you get an updated i-20

Went for my visa interview in Lagos,

VO: Good morning..
Me: Good Morning
VO: Where are u going to?
Me: I'm going to South's Plains College Levelland Lubbock Texas to get an associate degree in business administration there....(VO cuts in)
VO: Have u traveled out before:
Me: yes, back in 2014 I went on a family trip to London with my family...
VO: Do u have any relatives in London...
Me: Yes, my mom's sister,my aunt...
VO: How old are u?
Me: I'm 17
VO: When did u graduate from High School..
Me: 2021, October
VO: types and keeps on typing..
VO: How did ur brother get his green card?
Me: Marriage
VO: What is ur brother's wife's name?
Me: (says name)



My elder brother got married there after going in with an F-1 visa back in 2015. Does this mean all members of my family will be unable to get a US visa for this reason, majority of my family lives back home and I wasn’t asked about them but got denied due to ‘lack of home ties’ I just felt it was unfair I didn’t get a chance to actually talk about myself or what my degree will do for me. What can I do before reapplying?

These are where your issues are. The school is not high ranked. Not even in the top 2000 colleges in the US. Did you find this school by yourself? Or was it an agent?
Also you are going for an Associate rather than a Bachelors

Oluseyi123:

Pls can someone travel 3 weeks to resumption date?

Yes. Usually the earliest you can travel is 30 days to your resumption date

Zigii:
Hello guys!

I’m 20 and got married in January this year and will be going to the US for my bachelors degree on a full ride scholarship at one of the T10 schools. I already submitted my DS160 and ticked the married option when asked. Would my being married affect my visa interview in any way?

Yes. Positively.
It's one of the best home ties to have

MelaninGemstone:
Hey guys, please I need a quick advise.

My elder brother is a Masters student of Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts

and I just got admission to University of Massachusetts, Boston for my own Masters too.

It’s totally a coincidence that we would be in the same city.

Please, do I stand a chance of getting a visa or I would be thought to be an intending immigrant?

I've seen a girl get visa for University of Minnesota Mankato even after mentioning her brother was there and doing his OPT

You said it yourself, you were nervous. You will be less nervous next time.
Was this your first interview?

ObodoNaija:
Guys please help me look into my first and second transcript. Let me know what went wrong. I will be going for the third one soon.

By your transcripts, I would say your profile and two interviews were good.
Of course we don't know what's on the VOs' minds and luck plays a big part too.
I advise you prepare well as usual and mention the same job you mentioned for your uncle in your 2nd interview. Best of luck this time.

You have a very good profile.
Something must be wrong from somewhere. Did you fill out your Ds form carefully by yourself?

Bellings:

Oh wow thank you so much I really appreciate can you kindly help with a link to check Universities in America and their courses

check webometrics. You can view US universities and rankings from there, as well as links to their sites

kastgeraldino:
If they don't board you it may be because they're not convinced that you're a student, given your poor spelling: "true" not "through"

Not the smartest way to correct someone

Shanid:
Please ,I need link to VISA INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT...I VE BEEN SERCHING AND SEARCHING FOR IT

Read as many previous pages as you can

wascofasco:
I would say the amount of deficit doesn't matter. We have seen other instances of more deficit with a relative as sponsor. In my Opinion, I dont think its the fees. I would say he/she should have explained in detail how the journey has been since 2006. such as 2007-08 diploma, I worked 1 year as teacher, doctor, etc. 2010 I started another NCE program blah blah blah. I now work as an engeer with ABC since 2019 till date. Make sure they are well structured and in line.

The amount of deficit definitely matters especially with third party sponsors. I didn't say it's impossible to get approved with that, but you can't say deficit doesn't matter

Pace6:

Thank you very much, so what do you advise?

You can try your luck again or try and get some sort of funding before trying again. Your chances will be much higher if you have funding.

bunmibanlyz:
Hello .... my sister recently got her F1 visa but she hasn't travelled yet and I am also going for my interview next month. We have the same sponsor (our dad). If I'm asked if I have any one in the US, my plan is to say NO. I hope this wouldn't be an issue. Or do I have to clarify that my sister recently got a visa also?

Thanks.

You should just say no since the question would be if you have anyone in the US, and you don't.
Keep the answers simple.

Pace6:
I applied and got admitted in a university in the US and my interview date was scheduled for today but unfortunately I was denied. The school I applied is $12k tuition and $8k estimated living expenses with other fees a total of $23,512

Me: good morning

VO: good morning

I see that you applied for this university, how did you get to know about it?

Me: Through my uncle who owns an educational consulting firm

VO: have you traveled outside Nigeria before?

Me: No ma’am

VO: who’s sponsoring your trip?

Me: My uncle

VO: when did you finish secondary school?

Me: 2006

VO: what have you been doing since then?

Me: I’ve had a National Diploma and a Higher National Diploma from xyz school in Nigeria

VO: hands back my passport and a green paper to me!

At this point I felt devastated and heart broken.

Please gurus in the house do you think I said anything wrong?

Was it that the tuition fee is way too much or too small?

The total deficit is high. And having a large deficit with a non parent sponsor usually decreases approval chances.

jojoey:
Hello guys, please when I’m trying to request an emergency appointment, and I want to upload my I-20, does it have to be signed by me? Or can I upload it the way it was sent?

you should sign it

Duisburg:

Guys, my school rejected the bank statement issued by my sponsor. They said they needed the amount to be currently inside the account.

I need help, bruvs. The school demanded that I send the statement before July 1st.

Well, let him put the right amount needed and request a new bank statement for you
