Hello guys

My mum who works and lives in the UK would be sponsoring me. She’s also a legal resident..
Can this raise any suspicion to the VO?

you are good to go,I know someone who sponsor is his elder brother in UK as a doctor and his visa was approved

How long were you refused before u went to reapply?

Keren12:
A friend was issued a visa around march this year, after paying for a flight and arranging for movement. A few days before departure, he got an email from the embassy to come on reaching Abuja his visa was cancelled based on tax. That his brother's company don't pay tax. Should he apply again using another statement?

Is the brother based in U.S

Sunkanmi64:
Yes, you can have your interview in Abuja and put Lagos as the document delivery place. I had my interview on Thursday (2nd June) in Abuja and my passport was ready for pickup in Lagos on Monday (6th June).

When are you required to pay the fee for delivery?

davichido:


LAGOS

Abuja have been approving EA for most people that applied even before the 60days,it was also approved for me

davichido:
My EA application was denied. Resumption date is 15th of August. I am within the 60day to apply requirement. I attached 1-20 and Sevis payment receipt. What did I do wrong and what else can I do?
Thanks for your assistance

Abuja or Lagos

shJose:
Hello guys please, I need your advise on this. I attended an f1 visa yesterday at Lagos and I was denied. How can I get a new appointment day?
I saw previously denied section which leads to no date and a regular which leads to some dates. Since I was previously refused can I pick a regular. I need your advice urgently.

Choose regular

Quiver:
Can anyone who was refused especially in Abuja and has not torn his/her blue paper send it to me maybe via Whatsapp or Telegram? I want to ask for a refund of tuition deposit I made in a school in the US as I was refused twice but later got visa for study permit in Canada and so need my money back. Anyone please? Cos the US school is demanding I show them the blue paper of denial from the embassy before they can refund me back my money

Blue paper is blue paper, they don't write Abuja or Lagos on it, I can get u the blue paper from Lagos but with some little charge, dm me

Please who has walspring contact,I need to contact him urgently for sevis fee payment

guest31:
Hi everyone, I rescheduled interview dates 2 times and now the Reschedule appointment option disappeared from my dashboard. Is it normal?? Will it become available again if I pay another MRV fee? Has anyone experienced that? Please reply.

Yes u will get ur full two slots to schedule and one EA , once u Pay another visa fee but u must first cancel the second appointment

[quote author=Walspring post=113516136][/quote]
Walspring please reply to my mail,I need u to pay sevis fee for someone who is going for interview by Friday

Plannie22:
Hi Guys, I was denied visa in Lagos. I’m trying to reapply and get a new date in Abuja but the portal says no available date. Please does anyone know how I may get a date or any group I can join to keep watch? It seems reapplication are in a different date portal and have a tougher time getting dates

There are available dates if u choose 'regular' not 'refused'.

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.

If u like yourself don't say or fill in that u have five siblings in US ,if u have to admit,u can say one, and is a distant relation, bcoz if saying the truth the way it is,it will not help o

hardeyswaggz:
Decided to do an emergency date because my interview date is close to resumption. I thought doing my interview early enough will give me ample time to prepare for my travel. Unfortunately the request got denied. Please what next should I do to get an earlier date?

Is it Lagos or Abuja?

waaobwooob:

Passport still at Embassy will change after 10 days

Select regular to book appointment not refused

Goodday house, please someone should give me the break down on how to apply for visiting visa for myself and husband and 3 children, how much is the Visa fees,what are the documents I must present? And is there an Express way to fasten the Visa process?

ibcircuit:


Thank you for the update . Please if one has already clicked on 'previously denied ' can he still change to click on 'Regular ' ?

You always go back and click regular, what of someone mistakenly clicked a wrong option,so there is nothing wrong,u can always correct it

Fescoblack:
Hope it won't forfiet my chance? Because they said regular which has not been refused in the last 12months or so

Since u want to follow the rules �,why not wait for the next 12 months to reapply or gently click on refused and be patient till u see date

Schrodinger2:


Take the risk and pick a regular appointment with the intention that you'd get a date in late June or early July. That way, you'd quite be close to 6months after your last denial.

I don't know where u pipo got this your six months from, have u not read of people that got denied in Dec and went for another interview by January or February and got their visa approved?

Me: Nigeria has a good educational curriculum and getting a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction will enable me to incorporate the knowledge and experience into the school curriculum to give my students a more vibrant and robust learning experience.
Looks like i was boring him here. He just handed me the dreaded blue slip.

Nigeria have a good educational curriculum and you still want to add more curriculum,hmmmm is really boring

Femmyfestus:

Please how many months intervals was between the interview dates. Cos choosing previously refused is not bring the same dates with regular visa

Choose regular

Makindezak:
Hello house, please I’m planning to apply for my f-1 visa and I need clarification on a few things..
1. I used a proof of funding from my dad and my brother with the same surname that resides in the USA to get my I-20 from my school, do you think it’s okay to use the same statement of account at my interview.
2. Do I need any other doc to backup my brothers statement of account from the USA.
….
Thank you and I hope I get responses.

Was it written in your I-20 as 'Brother or family in the US' as your sponsor?
