My F2 visa got approved finally on my second trial, only problem is I didn't go with my daughter as I read I can go alone since she's not up to 14yrs, only to get there and was told I most bring her. Please has anyone had a similar issue and if yes how do I go about rescheduling an appointment for her and hope I won't have to pay any money

You pay for your daughter because US embassy don't give visa fee for free and even minor

Demonicide:
Today will make it two weeks oh. My heart is in my mouth right now.

Is it two weeks you submitted your online application or two weeks you are sent an email that you got admitted?

Explain

HigherEd:
USA has >5,200 higher institutions. Every year only about 200 make it to top 1000 THE or QS ranking which is less than 5% of the total number. Therefore any Nigerian university who makes it to top 1000 is actually ranked higher than 95% of American universities.

Hmmmmm.. break it down more

Olalekank:

As in ehn. I hope the US can bring their tuition lower than it is now though.

kikky91:
I have sent u already

But i didn't see it maybe you used another username and that's why i didn't see it

Demonicide:
What could be the problem now?

I don't have idea of the problem but maybe your application is still under processing or you contact the international admission of the school and find out yourself

Demonicide:
How long will it take them to issue the letter � to me?

Dunno but it might be that day or two or a week approximately that you are admitted

austinelex:
Pls people in d house is it possible to pay tuition fee of around 8k$ ,one paid 500$ and wen he gets there he pay the remaining fees

Sure and ask if your school have such payment plans

Be aware that doing this method does not guarantee visa until you do the visa interview and prove that you are eligible and not only qualify.

brightdocare:
thanks bro

slimturay:
Goodmorning,please am filling my Ds-160,but am currently unemployed am running my catering service business,where am i supposed to fill the details about my Undergraduate studies,before i submit the form.

add you catering service as work which is not bad, i knew two people here who did that and they got their visa.

Just follow your mind and heart

austinelex:
pls which means of payment is faster also,if I get to seme border how do I go about it

Both

Olalekank:
Loll, even Federal universities in Nigeria collect that amount.

No, you can't get a school with that amount, at least none that I know of.

@bold... You are correct and the federal universities are many ooo

austinelex:
pls House is it possible to pay the fees little by little till when one gets there

Sure it is and most school have payment plan and you can find out via them or their website

Demonicide:
Has anybody received admission letter so far from Cleveland state University? I'm so worried

Yes oooo, infact plenty people

learner007:
Hello house,

I noticed there is no place to indicate that a parent is deceased on the DS160 form. Is it ideal to talk about my late dad during the interview if a question warrants it(even though I rightly filled in his date of birth in the form)? Hope it won't weaken my presentation in anyway...Pls I need proper guidance on this from a kind soul. Thanks

Lol.. You are funny

Some people talked about their dead parent in a way that it influence them to study and they got their visa while some did that and they dont get the visa

Follow your mind and heart

TheEnforcer:
I wonder where these girls are;Yvete ,mamacita kpolli(m)and co.They were quite amazing.The nostalgia!Anyone who remembers them??

Yes and only here

aadeyi:
Uncle it is best to jejely go take another 2*2 passport and fill another ds160, then login into your application page and edit your ds160. Don't go to the embassy with that ds160 with no picture ooo... Or else you might suffer a heart break and/lose about 5k to those embassy touts.

In addition to this, He won't even be allowed to do interview if photo is not uploaded and submitted on ds160.

Anybody please. Mr Walspring..

My new passport is being processed cos I've paid and done Biometric. I want to book an appointment date since its taking longer than I expected. Can I use my Old passport Number to Book an appointment while I wait for the new one ? Or I wait till new one comes out ?

Don't use the old one and just wait until you get a new passport so that you won't vex for yourself later

kikky91:
@ walspring... Boss I will like to pm u so that we can talk better....pls

I haven't seen your pm ooo

I will try to interpret this. The U.S immigration laws are so complex that unless you understand them, you could make mistakes and put yourself in trouble when you panic and do something stupid.

When a student falls out of status, That's all there is to it: they're out of status. Some people think the day you violate your visa and fall out of status is the day you start accruing unlawful presence. NO! Unlawful presence starts counting when you get an order to leave/deportation order or when you apply for an immigrant benefit and it gets denied.

Let's use an example. A student is supposed to resume school on August 7, 2016. He didn't go to the school. He remains in the U.S. and works illegally. He has been out of Status, that's all. We're in May 2018. You'd think he has accrued 2 years of unlawful presence. He has not. Until he gets a deportation order, or he applies for an immigration benefit (for example green card) unsuccessfully, they don't start counting unlawful presence.

Now, the new law has fixed that. It has triggered counting unlawful presence the instant you fall out of status. In the past, they had to find you, and get a judge to issue you an order to leave voluntarily, or deportation order or a denied USCIS application to start the clock to count the days.

Do you understand so far? Good.

It's the same way a 3 year/10 year ban is only activated when you wanna return to the U.S. so if you've accrued unlawful presence for 6 months for example and you never leave the U.S. the ban doesn't come to effect. It is triggered when you answer calls from the village, visit them and then wanna get back into the U.S.

A summary of the new law: once you fall out of status, you start accruing unlawful status. Any unlawful presence over 180 days triggers a ban that works just like I explained above. In addition, 1 year of unlawful presence triggers a permanent ban. The bans also make you ineligible to try to get a visa, greencard, etc. This new law has blocked some paths.

When you wanna adjust your status and get a green card, there are two questions you'll have to answer. Have you ever violated the terms of your visa (been out of status)? And have you ever been ordered to leave/received a deportation order/applied for a green card (to calculate accrued unlawful presence)?

Let's see an example:

Suppose that same student in the above example marries here and wants to get a green card. Under the old law, he hasn't accrued any unlawful presence (I believe you understand how/why), but under this new law, he has accrued over 1 year, triggered a permanent ban which makes him permanently inadmissible and ineligible to apply for visa/green card.

Oh, I must add... Marrying a U.S. citizen makes them forgive a visa overstay (falling out of status), but this new law blocks that. Now it's not falling out of status anymore but unlawful presence/ban and even marriage can't save some people because unlawful presence/permanent bans rule you out of adjusting your status.

This is my opinion/interpretation. It's not legal advice and shouldn't be construed as one.

NiklausAkins:
Lol i do..
Its just that on the Ds160 i filled My mums name as my sponsor. And then i have been hearing " say only what you filled in your Ds160".. And you know "Parents"(mum nd Dad).. Well thanks. I understand, am only trying to be extremely cautious.

Don't you know that you filled your mum name as sponsor while you picked parents as sponsor. Telling vo that your parent is correct or your mum is correct.
