Hi Vic,

Have you attended your Visa Interview?

Good evening. Yes sir/ma'am, roughly a month and a week ago. Longest time.

adesco2k9:
Pls where do you pple.keep there phones while in interview

Lagos or Abuja? If Lagos, there is a section by your right hand side, upon arriving the entrance of the US Consulate. A lady is in charge of doing that for an affordable fee. I don't know how Abuja system works.

Inzaghi04:


Do you know if the covid19 test is necessary?
What about yellow fever test.

From my research, I didn't see those requirements on their website. But they emphasized that travelers should adhere strictly to country-specific covid19 rules. Please confirm this information again.

kennedyemmy:
Hello guys. I wish to get an Affidavit of Support from my Sponsor but she doesn't know how to go about it.
Please can someone advise me on where Affidavit of Support can be drafted and signed, and how it is been done?
Thank you so much.

I know law courts do that affidavit stuff. Speaking based on Lagos/Nigeria experience, when you get to a high court(avoiding scammers outside), you'd be attended to by a personnel from that place. Try and explain the type of affidavit you want, and they will demand some details/documents from you, and take it up from from there.

Inzaghi04:


Do you know the current rate at the airport?

Hello. I'm interested in this schedule as well. From my inquiries, the rates are not constant. They vary.

LagosismyHome:


This will never be anybody here portion..... amen .

Stop it ....behave

AMEN! I strongly believe s/he is looking for subscribers.

Inzaghi04:
I am guessing this means the passport is ready for pick up?
I just received this email now
Hope my guess is right?

Dear Inzaghi04,

Yes! You are right. Go get your passport!

Thank you for your esteemed interest in the US. Do enjoy your stay!

Best regards,

Good day Guru's in the house,

I need your help, i am trying to complete my Ds160 form and i need clarity on the educational level information,
qeustion 1 : am i suppose to fill in my secondary school information or just the university i attended here in nigeria

Good question. In my case, I filled both my secondary school information and that of the university I attended here in Nigeria.

PS:
Likely Interview Question:
VO: I can see you finished school in 2016, and have not been previously employed. What have you been doing since 2016?
(It sounds kinda awkward to not do anything after graduation in 2016. How about NYSC and other opportunities in line with your field of studies? Note: These are just my wild thoughts. I am not a VO)

Inzaghi04:
Please Have anyone flown through Turkish airline before?
how was the experience?
I heard there are long layovers?
I am about to book a flight and Turkish airline seems to be on a cheaper side but I heard bad reviews. can anyone confirm this here?

Hello! I booked one recently too. I won't lie to you, there will be atmost 6hours layover at Instanbul, Turkey, and another lay over of atmost 3hours at Los Angeles. It depends on the traveler. I like the lay overs in a way, because they kinda help me explore areas I've not been to. I prefer exploring and getting to know places, as I transit to my destination. The taste varies. You might not enjoy the lay overs. Besides, you stand a chance of getting student discount if you're not above 25years(please confirm this figure from Turkish Airline website).

All this VISA APPROVE just dey sweeten my belley.

Congratulations to everyone! More grace and favour to us all. Stay safely blessed.

favouredtk:


I doubt there's any "how" to it? Follow the prompt on the screen that says "print confirmation" and print it like any regular document, you can print it coloured because of the passport photo but I don't think it matters. I know someone who went with black and white and it wasn't an issue.

Yes. He/She should make sure the printout is very clear, with the vital information and barcodes(?) on it.

Lete:


So how should one print their DS-160 ? Everybody keeps saying those hustlers hustling for money keeps telling them they need to reprint their DS-160 why isn’t anyone saying the right printout they finally got so we know and go with the right printout.

I do hope you were able to resolve this DS-160 hurdle. It is not difficult to print. The DS-160 confirmation page that you are meant to print, will display when you have succeeded in filling your correct details, and submitting your form.

kastgeraldino:
The only time he may have issues is if he goes for a PhD in a field for which he does not have sufficient undergrad preparation. The first 2 years is usually Masters-level stuff. I get your point sha cos American schools (especially top ones) can be really intense as they give you no breathing space.

Yeah, you are correct. From my interviews with some PhD students in the US, they'd always emphasized on the sameness/similarity between BSc programme and graduate programme. It is more challenging, not impossible, if there is a switch in fields between BSc and MSc.

iWise:


It depends on the school and the program you're interested in.

From what I gather, most programs in the US will allow you enrol in a PhD directly with a BS. I personally do not recommend it if you're interested in a very complex program such as the types you'd find in Physics or Maths or Chemistry, say - unless of course, you got your degree from a US or Canadian or Western Europe or Chinese college (this list is not exhaustive). For all programs in Engineering, Statistics etc, you shouldn't have much of an issue adapting. Please be mindful that I am writing from the perspective of a STEM graduate.

Haha...why do you not recommend it Sir? Please tell me about our experience, if any. Kindly check your PM.

kastgeraldino:
There's a reason why a PhD in the US is for at least five years. It is because the programme contains both requirements for the Masters and PhD together. The first two years usually qualifies you to earn a Masters. For those who decide not to continue in academia, they can simply drop out after two years and earn an MSc, MA or whatever masters. I dunno if I'm making sense but it's not as if you are skipping Masters and going straight to PhD, but it is just that the way the US does it is that after undergrad (BSc, BA, et al), you just apply for PhD programme in which the Masters requirement is part of the PhD. Somewhat different from UK and Nigeria, but still the same when you consider the fact that Masters is about 2 years and the PhD proper is 3 years in UK and Nigeria.

Yes! You are perfectly on point!

Chonco:


Airport is always lower. I don't like their package

Thanks for your feedback Bro. Like you mean, higher naira value to 1USD?

GreatMage:


Pls I have a bachelor with a first class...

Can I apply for PhD with it?

I don't understand how it works without a masters

Your first class BSc is already a sweet smelling flavour. Go ahead and give it your best shot. More grace.

samzebby:
Hello everyone, so am kind of new here.

I have an offer for a graduate program (mph) at University of Alabama at Birmingham with a January 2021 start date.

Please is it still possible for me to apply for a US visa to resume physically in January 2021 at UAB?

PS: I don’t have my I-20 yet

I really would appreciate suggestions and thoughtful answers.

Looking at the logistics, humanly speaking, time might not really be favourable to your January resumption. You might consider Fall 2021 resumption, and begin preparations for it.

GreatMage:
Is there hope for a third class graduate in CS getting a masters in any university?

Pls I need guidance

It is possible if you believe.

Swerveking14:
I’ll answer two of your question. You see to avoid stories that touch the heart, jejely go to the airport and change your money. Withdrawing with a MasterCard happens but it comes with charges your bank places on ur withdrawal.

Is it certain that I will get a fair exchange rate on that that of my departure at the airport? Or, should I go and change the money before that day?

osadestiny:
My people please can one be able to transfer his sevis payment to another school that already sent him his I-20. Is it possible to do that because he wouldn’t be going to the previous one again so he need to apply for visa now but he already paid the sevis payment using the previous school I-20 number and school name.

I think that move is possible based on some conditions. Please check this link and scroll down to this heading "How can I-901 SEVIS Fee paid on one SEVIS ID be moved to another SEVIS ID?" https://www.ice.gov/sevis/i901/faq

fairheart:

Congratulations!!!
I am happy that you figured things out and all went well. I sent 2 messages asking about your eventual plans. But it's now a story!
All Glory be to God. New height for you.

Amen! Great thanks Sir! More grace.

Walesherbey:
Congrats to everyone who's visa has been approved and to us whose interview is next week I hope and pray we come with visa approval transcript.

Amen! More grace to you all.

Greenman2020:



Congratulations man. God has a way of rewarding his people. Cheers!

Great thanks Sir.

LagosismyHome:


Congrats ..... May God bless your new journey

Amen! Great thanks Ma'am.

To God Be The Glory

Cocao:
Visa Approved

First I stood for 4 hours, my legs still hurt till now. But I guess it doesn't matter now. So when I got in there, I noticed that the guy at window 7 was just distributing rejection like kilode. I began praying that I skip him but for this kin thing luck no dey favor me. I kept faith sha. But I sha still landed on his table.

When I got there he asked me to place my left hand on the scanner. I did and he couldn't get my finger print. We tried for a bit so I asked him, did you mean my left or right because you told me left. Then he apologized and said that he meant the right hand.

VO: Where are you going to in the US

Me: I am currently a graduate student of the communications program in the University of Cincinnati Ohio.

VO: Why did you choose this school

Me: The department has a concentration in organizational communication that align with my research interests. The profile of faculty members like Professor Suzanne and Dr Banjo impressed me and consolidated my interest in the department. My graduate assistantship award that covers tuition and living expenses was the icing on the cake.

VO: Where do you work

Me: I work as a customer service supervisor in my organisation.

VO: Have you ever traveled outside the country before

Me: No, I have not had any reason to

VO: Are you married

Me: No

VO: Do you have any kids

Me: No

VO: I intend issuing you your visa



If I start to thank people, I'll run out of space. Fairheart, I have nothing but love for you.

Congratulations to everyone! More Grace.

yinkhar:


Yes. Don’t mind those guys outside, they will intensionally say it’s the wrong one just to extort money from you

Oh. No need to print another receipt with CGI logo. The one given by GTBank is enough

jhidey08:

Alright, thanks for the detailed information, I’ll find a way to go about it.

Hello. We're you able to print the receipt with CGI logo?

naijaeclectic:


Thank you!

I'm so sorry, but I have no idea how they got the one they gave me.

I just followed the guy to an office, he logged into a website, entered info from my passport and GTWorld receipt, and gave me the CGI paper.

I saw some people holding just the GT receipts and began assuming that I'd been scammed, but when I checked my papers after the interview, the CGI sheet was gone. It was then I realized that the lady collecting payment receipts took it along with the GT confirmation receipt.

Without that, I would have advised that you ignore it, but I'm guessing someone does need to see it.

Hello! Congratulations! More Grace.

Sugarxx:


Apologies for this. Hopefully you will be rescheduled soon.

Great thanks for your esteemed concerns, Bro. Mine is still next month.
