Thank you bro

Walspring:

The longin the 2nd details I used doesn't have any thing to do with me.

akin3102:

Please gurus in the house has anybody hear or read any form of US rankings like this American Institute of the subject named? My school recently upgrade to #13 national ranking on AIP American institute of Physics. I want find out if it is adviseable to mention this as one of the reasons of choosen my school.what do you think?

[quote author=ddammyrajitola post=34109329][/quote]Congrats my man I tap in your sucess story

Walspring:
You can only make that happen only if you put the ds160 confirmation during your visa appointment booking at their website..

Since you didnt see the column, You need to start a new booking application and follow the procedure then you will see it before you pick a date, i think its before delivery location.

Thank you God blessings they said I should continue tomorrow I have exceeded the number of times I will vist the site in a day. But I have comfirmed it with another login details

Please guru I'm confused now how do I make my appointment confirmation to tally with DS160 confirmation. Please I did not see any column to cue in the DS number to tily.

Over one week now no sucess story posted does it mean that people don't go for interviews sagain? or they don't care posting their transcript here

profojah:
Sure!!

Just make sure you have or write your CONFIRMATION CODE down and go to "Retrieve Application" whenever you want to continue or print your confirmation page slip

Is it the same number you will required when booking appointment. I don't want to dash another money againooo. Fail to fill in this number the system will automaticaly dash you another number that will not tily with the one on DS-160.

jakeharris:
You are 15 mins away from me....we could chill sometime

I wish all the pple going for their visa interview this week success.

Visa delayed at abuja embassy on 20th May, 2015 window 9, the woman didn't give anybody that she interview, she spent only 2mins i will share my transcript later guys. My regards to walspring, slimmy and imperiouxx

You were warned about your school initially still you insisted on a community college.Since you have gone interview try and change school then be prepared to give Vo the reasons of changing schools. Sorry for the denial though!

oloyeadeniyi:
Pls house I need your candid opinion. Am 27 yrs old with a degree, I got undergraduate admission to study business economic in Shippensburg university which will be sponsored by the organisation where I work as marketing management officer. I didn't have GRE but IELTS. What are my chances of getting a visa?

You have to go through this thread from the beginning.If you have any degree go for direct masters It would favour you more

DeeTus:
I really don't think so if he changes school in as much as he can explain why he chose the school.

Some schools are there to make you struggle for visa, others increase your chances of getting it.

You are right.

DeeTus:
Oh no. How could the CO deny you a visa just like this?

Don't reapply yet. Defer your application to next session and go get your SAT and come up with another school like University of Maryland maybe.

SAT is important for science and engineering students.

Sorry for your inability to procure visa at this moment. I feel your pain.

Don't you think changing to another school would have effect on him?All he has to do is to do the sat exam. Just my 2 cent shaa

portelli:
visa delayed in Abuja by one strict vo at window 9.

This is how it went:

me: ( with smiling face ) Good morning ma'am
vo: good morning, pass me ur docs
me: (passes them )
vo: ( types for a while ) u re studying, u re a student?
me: yes
vo: which school
me: xyz state polytechnic
vo: which course
me: 3-month noncredit course on mech eng
vo: what will u study in US
me: mechanical engineering
vo: why study in US
me: because academic experience and degrees from US universities are highly recognised and valued all over the world especially here by Nigerian employers. they....( she cuts )
vo: how many schools did you apply to
me: 4 schools
vo: how many accepted you
me: I was accepted by four of the schools
vo: what are they
me: uni of Maryland, njit , uni of Bridgeport &SUNY college at buffalo
vo: so why this school
me: I chose this school because of d competitiveness I recognised in their mech eng course when compared to oda universities mech eng courses that I applied for, which includes a well structured and cutting edge curriculum with a solid theoritical and extensive hands-on education, combined with a well equipped modern laboratories. most importantly dedicated and outstanding faculties who are experts and whose top priority is to inculcate in me the mech eng xperience dat can hep me to advance my career here in 9ja (she cuts)
vo: when did u finish sec skool
me: 2009
v.o: what have been doing
me: in 2010 I took jamb which gave me entrance to a national diploma course on mech end in 2011 and grad in 2013 after den undertuk a 1yr IT which was a mandatory requirement for my ND course on March eng and currently now attending a 3-month noncredit course on mech eng to keep me fit for this course I will face in US.
vo: did you write SAT
me: no but I took TOEFL
vo: who's paying for your fees
me; my dad
vo: what does he do
me: he is the owner and CEO of xyz enterprises nig ltd
the market leader in the importation and distribution of all kinds of electrical and electronic appliances and also automobile spare parts with head office in Lagos state and 10 other branched offices across the country.
vo: has ur dad travelled out
me: no ma'am
vo: unfortunately visa cannot be approved blaa bla bla h

from the last qstion and answer that I gave, I can see the mistake. But my dad does online business, doesn't travel. but I think I should have convinced the vo by telling the vo that he travels out even though he doesn't, since getting visa was the priority. Pls gurus in the house, out of this transcript, what caused the delay, pls don't cast aspersions because we all here to learn. No one knows it all.

My man just believe in God and reaply .I never see any reason that your dad has not traveled out got to do with your studies.
Maybe they use that as a measure to know if your Dad is really a big business man as you said.just pray in your next application God should give us a nice Vo

Please gurus is it adviceable to write on my DS- 160 the full names given as the names appear in my passport On the Personal information column? Because I read some where here it was mentioned that the third name should be send as a mail for them to include it.

tunedhey:
Hello house,
I'd gladly appreciate any info about western Illinois University.
Applied already and even paid my application fee.
Applied to WES too though yet to pay.. Just dun understand d process of getting my credentials to dem n aw their ratings wud affect my being admitted into WIU.
I'd appreciate any useful info please. Thanks

Since you have applied to WES is better you choose the ICAP option because the school required it from us Nigerians. After evaluation WES will send it to WIU. You pray they will accept you.
