ValentinoPerez:


A big congratulations to you, I am glad you made it.

Zodam16:
Congrats dear. I pray mine goes well too next week. This Abuja people have destabilized me. But its well. Please did you use your old DS160 or did you fill out a new one for your appointment in Lagos? Would really appreciate your quick response

Jason3206:
Thanks... it's been corrected all I just needed to do is to update my profile with the new ds160 code and reprint.


Had similar issues a month back... What u need to do is make a photocopy of ur recent ds160 and your new appointment confirmation page (if possible colored printing)and attach it to a mail stating that you have issues with the code because they don't tally and you will appreciate it if it's fixed.
Send the mail with the attached new ds160 and ur appointment page to:
support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com

Make sure you state the problem clearly

MrChillz:


Happened to a lot of guys. Just update your profile on the appointment booking page with the new DS160 confirmation number and reprint your appointment confirmation slip. That's all

Teedawg:

except you have another way to make the codes match then yes .
hold on for more clarifications don't be in too much hurry.... and make sure you do it carefully this time

Teedawg:

if i am not mistaken i think you will have to redo another 160 and make sure both codes matches this time.
was the first error yours or the system?

LagosismyHome:


You can onlytry again is my feedback..... where do you work. A better answer would be Bleep as a yyy

All that dad company is unnecessary talk

To me, the issues lie in the bolded. The VO felt what you are going to study is in no way related to your "career", not because you tried to correct her. As a matter of fact, I believe why she stopped you from correcting her was because she felt that aspect is trivial. For her the main issue is, "Why is he going to another country to spend time and money on a masters program that has nothing to do with his career?" And that was why she asked you the question @ the last bolded. Your reply to her that you would return to work in a telecom company as a data analyst didn't convince her. In naija parlance, she go feel say na wash... else you would be working there now or someplace similar. Else you would currently be in that field or career, instead of your dad's construction/merchant company. From the foregoing, she may conclude you don't intend to return home afterwards or that you are not a genuine student.

Try to work on that career aspect next time and you'll be fine. you don't have to change it (to avoid issues due to inconsistency). You just need to come up with cogent reasons why you want to study something completely different from your current 'career'. You may talk about your passion and any past accomplishments in that field and how you intend to build on that. You may mention online courses you have taken to show your passion, or something else. you may mention your internships in the telecom field (you have any?) So get creative. Don't lie, just get creative.

You were sound and confident with your responses. However, you weren't convincing enough as a mathematician. Did you forget that there is an immeasurable distance existing between mathematics and statistics? You're going for an M.Sc. Mathematics to specialise in applied statistics? That does not follow bro, it doesn't. To the VO, it sounds as if you were going to a law school to earn a degree in medicine.

You would have gotten your visa by telling the VO that you chose this school because their mathematics and statistics department's curriculum correlate with your career pursuit and it will be a pathway to achieving your dream of becoming a data analyst. Hence, the VO would know that it's possible you earn a degree in Mathematics but specialise in applied statistics from this department (Some universities have Mathematics department different from Statistics, some have them together as mathematical sciences and some do not have statistics dept.).

N.B: At graduate level, you're expected to master a field of study while you can still apply it to other fields. That said, it doesn't imply that a statistician will be mistaken for a mathematician, that is fallacious and a terrible error to commit.
I don't know if I made any sense to you. You can't go for Master's degree in mathematics and major in applied statistics, why? the same reason why a student going for MSc in statistics can't major in Topology or PDE e.t.c
