Please House, I wish to ask, school resumes on 2nd Jan, 2015 but visa appointment will hold 15th January,2015. and all means to reschedule appointment proved abortive. I hope it won't affect anything except arriving campus late.

Your best shot it to apply for emergency appointment only if you haven't been denied visa in the last 6 months

Quick questions

Define fraud?

Can you print "transcripts"( why they call it that i still donot know) and take with you to embassy?


if you confidently pull "transcripts" from here print it on a paper and have "mistakenly" amidst your visa paperwork and a consular office sees it what would you think his or her reaction will be?

are you aware that preping yourself albeit in a deceitful manner as such as soliciting, cramming, relying on other " successful" visa applicants interview sessions to get a visa is morally wrong and creates a bad impression?

why do you think VOs shut applicants up when they start. to download all they have crammed with an intent to give an impression they are genuine?

An interview session is not synonymous with a class exam where you can go digging into past questions and answers.

If you are a genuine and honest applicant who has sole intentions to study overseas you DO NOT need to know about every nitty gritty of another applicant's visa interview session to be successful.
REmember every visa applicant's case is different and particular

Be carefull how you coerce people into giving details of interview sessions and some are so gullible

I wont go further into details he that has ears even though others have been doing it( doesnt make ot right) should desisit from posting their sessions online.

The USA consular having a thread on Nairaland is not necessarily because they love you too much but majorly to reduce visa fraud of any kind to its minimum through any media including this clandestine one.


many who have come to open their mouths loudly here after getting visas "approved" will not come back to tell you stories that happen after.

Especially when those transcript carry this feeling of "i done beat the VO i lie wella"

In addition and more importantly if Nairaland preaches DO IT YOURSELF and ABHORS use of agents( dream killers in my opinion) then when members here solicit others to put their interview sessions with an aim to coach them on what to say next time is SYNONYMOUS to what an agent does as some members now see these transcripts as success routes a total derailment from the DO IT YOURSELF.
Let the DO IT YOURSELF campaign be in EVERY area.

I do not think he is selfish he came here noticed the so called tradition took advantage of it got his visa like he said, refused to post his interview session isnt selfish he is been cautious and smart you do not have the moral obligation to help or answer people neither does he have same to post. if he is selfish like you defined then i will say a dictator and an obnoxious person is sommeone and who tries to coerce people into things against their ethics

Hmmm a word is enough for the wise

if you must under gun point for any reasons post your sessions be smart. dont give details of all your answers or date you were approved or VO's physical characteristics.

Be careful be street smart.

I read your post but can you just be specific with the message you are passing across to me.

If your definition of fraud is applicable to this then you used fraud to get your visa as well if I am not wrong because all what you told VO you got it somewhere and part of it was used as a pretence as well..

Part of the reasons why VO shut applicant up is because they have their reasons for doing that and it can be traced to what you driving to, tiredness, in hurry, time factor, same old story or news and so on.

Maybe you don't know that VO expect applicant to say a sentence and if it's exactly what (s)he wants to hear the VO will cuts in..

nairapolice:
House please who else recently booked a visa appointment and how did you do the photograph upload?

lol.. It should be same way you upload document or your photos via Facebook

Alabsreal:
Hello house, please on my I-20 it's stated that student is not proficient although my I-20 was ready before I took Toefl. Hope I won't have problem with that at the embassy

It means that you didn't have toefl or ielts requirement score and your English in your Waec grade didn't meet their score.. If not ask your school to send you a letter stating that you are proficient if you have the required score.

Pray to Favour you in that aspect because a lot had issues there and some don't have..

profojah:

Vo-hope u listened to previous interviews.
Me-yes
Vo- so u know that one of the questions i ll b asking u, is y did u chose d specific school
Me - yes
Vo- y did u chose msu
Me- becuz d school has a safe environment, tuition affordable, classroom small to enable better interaction btw tutor nd students.

Vo-did u writed English exam?
Me- yes
Vo- sorry ur visa cant b approved at this time blablabla
Pls gurus in d house what do u think about d vo nnd my ans? am suppose to resume jan, but.....

With your transcript it seems you blew it yourself because of the first answer and the VO even like you enough to let you know that you can't choose a school because of safety alone even other reasons you mentioned are not cogent and strong enough to back up your claim

Sorry about the denial and don't give up and try refire back and apply for fall 2016, then also work on your lapses and make sure you read this thread from part 3 till date

Olakunlae:
Thanks, God bless

Amen and you too..

glossybayor:
ask for DHL office, put d naira inside parcel and currier it to my address, I can help u spend it, that won't be a problem. I just want to help you....

ddbluv:
If your not street wise, I'll advise you say the truth how you came about the school. They will ask you 1 question and twist it at the tail end of the interview session to see how truthful you were. Why California? & Why did you choose this school may not be the same but the answer to each are intertwined. You can't afford to say something materially different from the other.
In my case, It wasnt twisted, they asked same question at the middle and tail end of the interview session. - Why did you choose this school among others you applied for? I didn't waiver, repeated same answer.

Why California? Talk about the industries that abound there for experiential learning (Internship) to enable you gain exposure before coming back to Nigeria to set up your biz, relate it to the school research progress also, you may inform the VO that it was not about the state but about the school that informed your choice of state. Your school may not be highly ranked but the course program is rated highly among other school. It's a <5mins Interview. Trust me, you'll face many more challenges here, you have to do your research alone to save cost, achieve more

Just incase u have more reason but do well to let me know

Let's give the thanks to God

Ariyanfe:
Nairalander old my date of interview is fast approaching. I am actually going for F1- student visa interview but am heading different story that NECO result is not accepted in the embassy,pls is that true?
Pls did I need to go with my birth certificate along on the day of interview?
pls I need help on likely interview question,somebody should help me.
Thanks

Neco is generally accepted in the US embassy and their schools and don't listen to those people saying gibberish. If I may ask is it not the neco result that you used to process you admission into the school

No need for your birth certificate because your international passport can cover for that

notasowie:
I want a simple formal answer on Dis question just incase I'm ask by the VO
Why carlifonia ?

Plss I want straight answers ,cus have been doing some extensive research online abt the state can't seen to get a definate respone ,plsss gurus my interview is 30th

I believe there should be a reason why you personal narrow your search for school to California and this are the thing the VO love to hear from applicant, Abi nah person suggest an for you?

Anyway read previous part of this thread and you will see enough response and take note that my country and California have same weather

Hello peeps...
Ummm... I'm really in a kinda dilemma here

My sister and i applied for vist visa ( brothers graduation) in November but we were refused. During the application i stated i was doin my NYSC athough no dates was specified.
Now I just got my i-20 and i want to apply for f-1 visa for spring.
Now i dont know what to say. (Mind u, i'm a corper... A ghost corper actually and i will pass out in april). is it wise to tell them i'm still a corper or do i jst say i have passed out.
My fear is, if i tell them am still a corper. They might refuse me or if i say i passed out in december, what if dey ask for my discharge letter
Or should i just say i will pass out in a week time so they dont ask, but what if he/she digs deeper and find out there is no passing out in January ... ohh House please what is the best option that won't hamper my chances.
Thanks.

Be truthful and stop causing issues for yourself.. Since you are switching to another visa category, I think is better to go for fall and that should be after nysc so that it can help you..

There are somethings you don't need to rush and do also don't forget that you were denied last month which is less than a month under B1/B2 visa and switching in less than a month to F1 might raise alarm of you being intending migrant..

Just think deep which is my opinion

Naija girls here no dey try, the ones here dey form oyibo fonetics, most naija wey dey here too dey hussle jare, some have been living here since but dont still have citizenship.

esperiense:
Hmmm, wondering too because the one i filled in august didnt request for photograph but just started filling again today and at the last page told me to upload my photo.
Thanks will still confirm further

Okay but dunno what you want to confirm because someone filled and submitted two or three days ago and his visa was granted today..

Maybe you didn't read the last page well and again is it after you submitted that it asked you to upload your passport , if YES you don't need any upload

teelekan:
Visa approved today. Transcript soon.
Wonderful bank of knowledge here guys. God bless you all. DJMAKSON!!!!!! Thanks a lot bro. See you soon.

Amen and let's give all the thanks to God

esperiense:
Thanks bro. buh i mean passport photograph. the ds 160 portal is asking me to add a passport photograph for lagos embassy

You don't upload passport photograph at all for both Abuja and Lagos embassy..

Just go and take a passport photograph from studio and tell them is for embassy or the size specified on the ds160 and take just two to the embassy on the day of your interview

Fortissimo:
Olakunlae, Walspring has answered you. Thanks Walspring.

There is also a GRE prep thread somewhere.

Let's give the thanks to God

Emmasmith2016:

www.ets.org/gre and www.ets.org/toefl

esperiense:
Hello NLanders. Pls is passport now required for filling DS 160 for lagos embassy? Is it same for Abuja?
Pls need response asap
thanks

You need passport number to fill DS160 if you are doing your interview either in Abuja or Lagos

brosdoncome:
Please, what's d the earliest date one can get if he/she applies for an emergency appointment? I just got my I-20.

It's the embassy that will show you the available dates they have for interview so no one can predict it here unless it was approved and the person saw it because you will be giving a procedure to follow to book for is and only you or those who also applied for emergency appointment can view and see the date
