Good afternoon everyone,

I tried to pick date for my F2 visa appointment yesterday but I saw January 20th, 2022 as the earliest date. That really scared me.

I really don't know what to do.

Should I pick the date and apply for emergency. I know Lagos is not attending to any emergency application.

OR

Should keep monitoring and hoping they would release some dates in July or August.

Kindly share your opinions. Thank you.

omokennyoguns20:
PLEASE NOTE: You can only use your old passport to book an appointment and must be 100% sure d new one will be ready before your interview date (very risky). If your interview date comes before the new passport is ready, YOU CAN'T go to the embassy with a passport that does not have at least 6months to expiration.

Good evening everybody,

My wife F2 visa was denied today at US consulate in lagos. The following was what transpired between her and the VO.

VO: Good morning and pass your document

Wife: Good morning sir (she passed the document)

VO: I can see you are going to join your husband at the university of Alabama, Tuscaloosa.

Wife: Yes sir

VO: when did he leave the country

Wife: he will be leaving on the 1st of august, 2021 as his program starts by august 11

VO: So your business is tommyshendy. Tell me about it

Wife: yes sir. Itbis a registered fashion business that deals with production and sales of different types of female clothes. We also train people on clothes making.

VO: How come your husband never talked about this

Wife: He didnt talk about it because the business in mine and there is no where is the DS-160 form where one is required to fill spouse occupation. He was not also asked during his interview

VO: So why didn't you apply together

Wife: I initially planned to join him at the later time after he would have gone but after thinking about the benefit of going with him, we both agreed to go together. We feel going together will give emotional stability to concentrate on his studies, it will reduce the number of time he might want to be spending on phone with me been his wife and thereby giving him more time for his research. Going with him will also reduce his expenses and that he will also enable us to focus on our marriage been a young marriage

VO: how do you think it will reduce his expenses

Wife: I believe he won't have to pay for his accommodation in the US and be paying for mine in Nigeria. Cooking a single meal that we will eat together will also reduce expenses on groceries.

VO: What is your husband plan after his studies

Wife: His plan is to cone back to Nigeria to take up a lecturing role at Babcock university where he currently work

VO: when did you get married

Wife: March 28th, 2020.

VO: I am sorry, you do not qualify for a VISA this time around.


Please we don't know what went wrong. She is planning to reapply. Please any advice for us will be appreciated. Thanks

ME: I am going to Wichita State University for my masters degree in Industrial Engineering

Age;23
Course;ph with concentration in environmental health
Deficit;46,624usd
School;etsu

1.You are going to etsu for what?for my bachelor’s degree in ph with concentration in environmental health.

2.why this y this course?
Me; I work voluntary for national emergency and management agency,during one of our projects I was able to witness at first hand the problem of high burden of Public health disease like malaria,tuberculosis,hiv/aids etc due to poor policies and inadequate allocation of resources to combat and control this disease.my studies in public health will enable me acquire the knowledge and skills to join hands with the federal ministry of health and other public health non profit organizations to bring possible solutions to the high prevalence rate of public health disease in Nigeria.

3.who is sponsoring you? My uncle mr*******,he is a real estate consultant,he develops she cuts in and said

4.why this school?i choose etsu because the school public health college is one of the top leading schools in the us and it offers a concentration in public health which perfectly match my area of interest and this concentration will enhance my competencies in understanding the impact of environmental variables on biological systems.especially chronic and endemic infectious disease in Nigeria..

As am talking she’s just nodding and she hands me the blue paper I don’t know why!

Those securities said when next am coming I should where a decent cloth that covered my body,they said they denied me cause of what I wear??

And again on my ds160 there is a particular place that state did I belonged or worked for any charity organization I picked no(I don’t know maybe that’s the problem)

Mille:
Sophisticated scam.

RED FLAG

1. The said conference will be in Dallas while the said hotel accomodation will be in Houston. The cities are at least 3 hours apart.

2. Why will a conference even pay for your visa and flight fees? It's normally the other way round.

3. The said hotel has no visible online presence, apart from it's website which I believe was created for the sole purpose of scamming. No reviews or nothing. Big red flag for an hotel said to host conference delegates.

4. The said hotel is missing on google map. The said address of the hotel is actually a residential street.

5. Your visa documents will be processed here in the United States and the approval letter of your visa will be sent to the U.S Embassy in your country for the collection of your visa. . This is the biggest red flag of all.

Good day all,

I am a prospective applicant for Fall 2022 Phd. I have ND-Upper credit, HND-Upper credit, Bsc-4.19/5 all Accounting and Msc Finance- 2018- 3.93./5. I am a qualified accountant with like 10 years experience. I scored Q-161 V-143 AW3 304 from gre. Though I am hoping to write gmat exam. However, I have no publication. Is my chance of getting Phd Economics, Finance or Accounting that good without publication?

Olomojola:
Good evening everyone
Please is it red flag to change school and course after a prior refusal within 2 months? First course is Business analytics ,new course is Applied statistics and decision making,different schools?

Duisburg:
Is there anyone here who is a permanent resident in the US who can stand for me as a cosigner?

It's urgent, please.

Edenman:
Please i need admission and full funding for us University in Civil Engineering

Phenomenalmau:
Thanks so much for your response, the person I put as my husband for visiting was one of my uncle’s friends who has a good traveling history, I later got a divorce certificate to cancel that marriage when my husband filed for my Canada visa
Meanwhile my marriage with my husband now is real but this is is 16th month we’ve been on the Canada spousal visa, that’s why we tried the US school and now that I’ve gained admission we’re skeptical to use my husband or my father as sponsor

Hello house. Please help solve my case, I’ve been to the US embassy twice on b1/b2 visa but was denied in 2017, minutes despite claiming I was married just to show ties although truly I was never married. Then later I got married in 2019 to my husband who’s a permanent resident of Canada, we filed for spousal visa, but we’ve been on it ever since, I guess the application is stuck, so we decided to try US student visa and I recently gained admission into university of Arkansas at Little Rock, and we are about to process my i20, I’m confused who to use as sponsor? Either my husband or my dad, my husband is a permanent resident of Canada and he has entered US by road few times, while my dad and mom are divorced, though my mom remarried and her husband died, I remember my mom filled widow on her DS-160 then, my mom has been to the US few times and has never overstayed, and she doesn’t bear my father’s name on her passport. I also don’t bear my father’s name on my passport too, I’m using my husband’s name, I’m worried if I can use my father as my sponsor, I’m worried the consular might think my father is my mom’s husband that died, and I feel I can’t use my husband cause he’s not based in Nigeria, please help clear my confusion
