You created multiple pseudo names, then start talking to yourself...is that not a mental problem? To what gain? Phishing on innocent students? You are pathetic and unrepentant crook. Spamming the thread with unsolicited and deceitful advice.

This madness of add me, add me needs to stop; some of you are lazy cunts. Most of you usually end up in premium tears in a faceless group.

You are not correct on $7k. If the employer has more than 50 employees and 50% of the employees are on L1, H1-B..USCIS fees is $7,380. Go and verify. But if the employer has less than 50 employees , USCIS fee is lower.

Lastbornbuns:
You've been receiving sound advice but seems like you want to do what's on your mind. Not only your money, you risk being banned from USA. How can you say Vesti helped you with job offer? What's the job? Do your skills match? Why would an employer hire you and pay all the fees involved in H1B for you? These are questions you need to ask yourself and be honest with yourself.

Regardless, H1B visa costs do not reach 7k usd even for the employer. Do your due diligence, not just by asking people's opinions, but by checking the official US Web pages for h1b applicants

Great! follow up with your sponsor and do the needful. Yes it is an employer led petition.

Ormoretayour:

Yes, I have my WES

That doc confirmed your selection. Its not a scam. have you done your WES?

Ormoretayour:

I have it with me.

Ask Vesti for a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action. If you have it already then it's legit.

Ormoretayour:

Vesti started the whole process from the lottery stage till getting the notice of selection.

Your profile is good for the MBA, do a self sponsor. Forget about those saying otherwise with high falutine gilberish. Be confident about yourself and achievement, it will work in your favor.

Topnotch10:

Greetings everyone.
I have been following this thread for a while now. I need your advice/contributions as I am about to fill my DS-160 and also fill my I-20 form.

I am 26 years old, I have a Bachelor’s in Engineering. I started my business immediately after my BSC and I have been running it for 5years now.

As the CEO/Founder, I intend to apply for an MBA to acquire business and managerial skills which I believe will take my business to the next level.

My plan initially was to Self sponsor and cover the deficit, firstly because I don’t think it’ll sound well to the VO that a CEO or business founder of 5years can’t at least fund his studies, so I believe this will also give me credibility since i can afford and also willing to invest that much in myself.
Secondly, I also want to avoid all the plenty questions about who is funding me and instead just speak for myself.

However, a friend told me that might not be a good approach because a VO will most likely believe a 26yr old in Nigeria has $40K to put away for studies, and therefore recommended that I combine it with family funds.


Before I proceed with my DS-160 and I-20, I would appreciate your advise on what to do, so I can have my stories straight and be consistent with it from my DS-160 to I-20 to visa interview.

Please what do you all advise?

EDO NO BE LAGOS!!!!! YOUR LEVEL OF BOOFOONERY HAS CONSEQUENCES, ENJOY YOUR DILAPIDATED STATE.

@OyoTunjiUsa

We knew all along that you are the same person but choose to be quiet. Unfortunately for you, its difficult to change the way you reply.
You always create a route back to your dm in most replies through fraudulent elicitation of reply. Some of us doubt your experience on USA Visa, it is obvious you have never step your foot on American soil. Change for good before its too late. Bye

@Nche95
Don't pay any random person your money, as advised. It will end in premium tears.
If you are struggling to pay the application fee, use pay4me as the last result.

FFIA:

contact them make them epp you

@SleepingTablets
what do you mean by the bolded below?....your response here is laced in deceit, you have craftly created a path to yourself...this is fraud!
@Pharaoh001...this guy is here on a mission, don't be deceived, if you message or contact him ...you are on your own. He finds it difficult to be genuine, He is here advocating for agent as if an agent has a separate embassy in Lagos. CORNY MAN....someone has accused him of fraud. However, please check if you are applying for the correct visa category. B1/B2 is for visitor not for those with job offer.

SleepingTablets:



@Pharaoh001

The agents you avoided are still going to be the one that will rescue your situation because if you continue with this application, then your US Employment- visa might ended up in the red sea like King Pharaoh's chariots 😀


1. Be very careful and let people verify if your US employment letter is genuine or not , otherwise, you might be playing lawn tennis with online- fraudsters .

2. The class of visa you applied for according to your CGI portal only allows you to stay in the US for 29 days and you must leave the United States within that timeframe. *** Do you think that the embassy will grant u work-visa based on such timeframe ?

3. If i see your invitation letter i can verify if it's genuine or not , or probably you are the one who have chosen the wrong visa category. US have varieties of work-visa types (which can be confusing ) like ;

H-1B, H-1C, H-2A, H-2B, H-3 etc.

**** The EB-3 visas are available to those holding a bachelor's degree, or foreign equivalent, as well as skilled and unskilled laborers who have a non-temporary offer of employment from a U.S. employer. (Yours is temporary offer according to your CGI portal).

4. For your current Appointment situation , THE ONLY SOLUTION for you is to go and pay another MRV but don't pay it yet . Allow people or research very well if your US employment letter is genuine and most especially what kind of visa category you should apply to.


5. If your visa category still falls under same C1 visa please don't apply , the embassy won't grant you work-visa based on such very short period except if you have been going to and fro (into the US) before with special skills . I would rather if your employer is genuine they invite you first and you apply for B1/B2.



God Bless Nigeria .

@SleepingTablets

what is really wrong with you enough of this your Balderdash.

SleepingTablets:



@MrSoftlife

I know you 're not a real African woman otherwise you would not have quickly disclosed your age just like that 🙄. I am replying you because of your last sentence and snob those CABALS who claimed to have US visas and lived or living in America , yet they did not know the moral rules 😃


Read below what one American lady put online """"

I am 37 , and i have had men (especially older men) making disparaging comment after finding out my age. Men young and old sometimes treats me entirely different after i state my age . I can see that my value instantly dropped in their eyes .



1. Unless you re the person's Doctor, Lawyer , Accountant or relevant government official , or an employee of a store selling alcohol or tobacco (as mandated in the western world) then age is considered a personal information which is none of your business .


2. Another point which makes people (especially women) hesitates to give out real age , even in relationship is that majority of them would be unhappy about the consequence or after effect of their disclosure


3. For example , you as a 40 year old lady should be using" sir" for me because my immediate younger brother is even more than 5 yrs older than you 😊. You gave me the opportunity to write this because you just told me your real age .

4. If that Op mistakenly do anything wrong on Nairaland , you will soon see people uttering phrases like " Get out ! You this ordinary 21 year old boy .


I will usually say , can you tell us your age ranges ? Even many social media like Facebook , Instagram , Google etc give revealing of age as Optional . And the Op problem is not about age .



God Bless Nigeria .

@wel99 .

I have expired F1 visa i used for cabrillo college then. I currently have a 5 year B1/B2 so that knocks off your believe that it's only those who have been to the US that has brain to research.

A Nigerian who got F1 visa from Abuja or Lagos and wants to renew in Canada or Mexico is permissible but such applicant is now a 3rd citizen. The VO will even wonder why coming here ? Why not your country ? If he or she got a denial i tell you go and ask, such student won't be able to go back to the US from Mexico or Canada except thru illegal avenue.

What you are trying to promote is called ' Consular Shopping ( leaving your home country where you got visa ) which the US embassies frown at.

US visa officers all over the world under went same training and seminars .the result u will get in India is what you will 95% get in Ghana embassy.

God Bless Nigeria .

@SleepingTablets
your assertion here is not true. You could have passed through cabrillo college doesn't mean you fully understand the process. Give me one reason why the F1 renewal will be denied in Canada or Mexico??...all these imaginary VO this, VO that is a typical Nigerian mentality or thinking towards the US embassy. It is legal to renew F1 visa in adjacent Islands. F1 visa that many of us have renewed multiple times is what you are here ventilating about

says who? It is obvious you have not left the shores of Nigeria or have you ever been to the USA. Your level of ignorance ic concerning.
@MizAlero Please go ahead and renew your visa in Canada or Mexico, these are adjacent islands...Check the previous pages on the process involved.

SleepingTablets:


@MizAlero. Go and renew your visa in Nigeria because that's the rules of the visa , go back to the issuing country. If you go to Canada or Mexico and your F1 visa is denied you won't be able to go back to the US because the remaining visa in your passport will be invalidated.you will be going back to Nigeria from Mexico or Canada .


God bless Nigeria .

Read and understand. It is not misguiding, comments only establish areas that needs attention to when it come to ties in a foreign country. He needs to show a road back to Abu Dhabi, he doesn't need to show all I stated.

Somatohadidas:



I would say that this is a bit misguiding. You don’t have to establish all what you have listed before you could be given a visa. Not having ties in UAE is not the main cause (of the OP's denial) as you've posited.

I've seen people literally at various places in Europe, even without a job (without any of those ties you mentioned), getting the F1 visa to study in the US. In fact, I'm speaking from experience.

You should reapply immediately, your ties are stronger in Nigeria.

It is more than enough. If you are asked are you married?, tell the VO you have a GF or engaged, planning to get married soon.

Tkulthenoble:
Thank you, Because you guys are really helpful. Now I see the only tie back to Abu Dhabi is my job which was the reason for the denial, although I have been here for more than 8 years and on the same job.

Now I want to re-apply and take my tie back Home, Would let the VO know that all my relatives are back in Nigeria and upon completing my program, I will be back Home and I also own landed property back in Nigeria, which I have all the documents here. You think this is enough as Home-ties? if they ask what has changed?

for my travel history, I have been to Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Maldives and Georgia. Infact I have a valid B2 Visa for 5 Years. I visited the US for 11 days last year too. Which I mentioned all on my DS-160.

It has nothing to do with your case. Your DS-160 profile needs to establish your ties in Abu Dhabi, how established are you in that country?
You are not married, you dont have any assets in Abu Dhabi, you dont have long term residence, you dont have a job guarantee that warrant your return to country of residence. Basically all roads back to Abu Dhabi is blocked. Your only ties in Abu Dhabi is employment, this is not enough. What is your travel history like? how many countries have you travelled to since you arrived Abu Dhabi? ...whatever you input on your DS-160 has established if your visa will be approved or not before the interview....

Tkulthenoble:
Thank you, I have immovable assets and my family are all back Home. To be sincere with you even during my interview some ppl that dont even live here that came from neighbouring country were approved.

Your transcript is not bad at all, I think you should reapply immediately. Work on this question

VO: Did your company have any confirmation you getting a job when you return.
Me: No, But in our Vendor Management meeting, I have had several discussion and training with the sales department.

Get a confirmation from your company in the form of a letter of return to back up your claim. I like the fact that your responses demanded the VO to have a look at your documents (this is key).
Do you have a temporary residence in Abu Dhabi and what is the duration left on it?

Tkulthenoble:
Admin Kindly approve.

Visa got denied.

Location: Abu Dhabi

I have B1/B2 Visa

Intervew: F1 Visa,

Course: MS in Marketing

School: Depaul University

Me: Good Morning with Big Smile
VO: Good Morning pass me your document
Me: Here you go
VO: Wow Congratulations you have Scholarshp
Me: Thank you Sir
VO: You are going to Depaul University, Program 2 years. Lets go through your application.
Me: As VO was going through application, statrted explaining to Him about My program. it is 2 years program with 7 core course e.g Marketing Management, Market Research, Aanlytical for marting and this program and course will help me to grab a position at my present job as a commercial manager, we focusing specifically on Africa, Nigeria to be precise, I will managing the Sales team for contract negotiation and contract Renewal.
VO: How long you have been working with your company
Me: 8 years and I have a confirmation of employment letter right here.
VO: Can I see? then He looked at it
VO: Why Depaul University
Me: Because one of Depaul University Core Value is Integrity and My company number one Core Value is integrity and this speaks alot to me, Because I believe so much in this Value, I believe in Honesty, Trust Worthy and as a leader I work the talk and the Depaul Univerisy is known for several volunteer activities on US News website and this is also inline with me as I have organised several CSR with my company.
VO: Did your company have any confirmation you getting a job when you return.

Me: No, But in our Vendor Management meeting, I have had several discussion and training with the sales department.

VO: Are you single?

Me: Yes

VO: Do you have any relative in the US.

Me: No

VO: How are you going to cover your deficit.

Me: I am covering my Deficit through my 8 years working here in UAE and I have my Bank statement here with me.

VO: checked bank statement and typing for few minutes and why typing I told Him that I have visited the US on tourist and spent 11 nights.

VO: dropped the bad news I am sorry for the Bad news cant see you have intent to study in the US, and He said something about other VOs which I did not understand and hands me the 214B flyer.

what went wrong here? Cuz I have analysed it, is my job not enough as socio economy tie? Must I say that I will be heading back to my Home country instead my job after my study?

Or Did I talk too much? Cuz I see other guys with F1 that got interviewd with other VOs hardly say anything but got approved.

Your response here shows you don't have work experience in your proposed course of study, and your previous degree is also not in Computer Science, so that's 2-0. You need to own your narratives about why you chose Computer Science, not my company selected me to go on study due to so so so, own your story and stick to it. working in a company that majors in tech (you could be an HR or Secretary) does not cut it.

horlakay:
My transcript
Me: good morning Ma,
VO: Good morning,how are you?
Me: I am good( handed her the I20 and passport)
VO: I see you work for **** company
Me: interjected, I work with **** company
VO: you have been their for two years(she was reading everything from my profile)
Me: yes ma
VO: have you traveled out of Nigeria before
Me: yes ma, I have been to Ghana for a weekend vacation and toured Togo and benin.
VO: oh, so how is Ghana, do you like it there?
Me: Ghana is a beautiful country, I love it
VO: when did you finish your Bsc, and what was your major,
Me: I finished in 2015 and I majored in Metallurgical and Materials engineering.
VO: why Msc computer science

Me: I know my time is almost up,so I brought out my study leave, I have been working for **** company which majored in tech, I was selected to go on study for my outstanding performance, the digital world fascinates me....(VO was already feeling disnterested in my explanation), just to say I will resume a senior role at my place of work......(VO interjected)
VO: who is covering your deficit
Me: my father bla bla bla.....(while I was trying to explain what he does for a living)
VO: already printed the blue paper

That's my experience today, please don't be discouraged, we go again.

In addition, If you are asked who is sponsoring your deficit, the answer is I am using personal funds, and the amount is available in your bank account. Whatever questions that will follow after this response have put you in a positive position.

Just as a piece of advice for those attending Visa interviews, I see a pattern where if your sponsor is either your parents or siblings, including relatives, are being rejected, may be one out of 20 is approved. It means the VO does not trust these sources of funds anymore. Then the rhetoric of how everyone's brothers, mothers, and sisters are doing so well in Nigeria is a general slogan for visa attendees. VO is used to hearing these high-fluting descriptions, and immediately after you start the line, VO loses interest and issues you the Blue paper.
So what do you need to do? If truly the funds are available from your sources, ask that the funds be moved to your account, and use the account to secure your I-20. It will now read Personal funds as the source of funding. This will remove the first doubts, then you can explain the source that your parents or sibling has gifted you the funds required to support your education, and these funds are deposited into your personal accounts, and offer to show the VO proof of your bank statement. VO will now be the person to ask what your sponsors are doing to have such funds to support you, at this point, the table has tilted, and you can start explaining how successful your sponsors are. Thank you

You did well with your responses. I think you should work on the last question.

VO- have you travelled before?
Me- No, this will be my first time

You need to demonstrate that you have travelled to other countries and return to Nigeria. You have significant ties in USA, based on probability VO is not convinced you will return . Visit a European country..then reapply.

Alphahauk:
This is how my interview went

VO- Good Morning
Me- Good Morning

VO- Pass me your document
Me- here it is

VO- does your aunty who is your sponsor live in the US

Me- my aunt Mrs …. lives in sugarland Texas

VO- what does she do?
Me- she works as a registered/ self employed nurse and owns her own healthcare firm in sugarland Texas

VO- is she the one sponsoring your siblings and how did your siblings get to the us?
Me- my brother got is dual engineering masters at Louisiana tech and was returning to a new job offer here in Nigeria. Then intel corporation made a counter offer and he is currently on work visa H1b at intel corporation

VO- what about your sister how did she get there?
Me- my sister got married here in Nigeria then after 3years she moved with her husband who is a US citizen, she’s currently a green card holder

VO- have you travelled before?
Me- No, this will be my first time

VO- (types for a while) I’m sorry you won’t be accepted by this time. Gave me the blue slip


How should I go about this please?

Your wife needs to write NCLEX exam, this gives her a pathway to the US and Greencard. She can do MSc later if she so desire but but right now chase a path the leads to employment. Go on YouTube and join the Nursing channels for detailed step by step. The NCLEX exam, or the National Council Licensure Examination, is a standardized test that nurses must pass in order to obtain licensure in the United States and Canada.

Please who can geive a response?

Unweighted is your GPA or what is called final GPA. Unweighted is higher than Weighted,

Opemz:


Thanks alot. I appreciate your response. The cost of dependent is 22k but the husband is fully funded. I think the VO is thinking how can they survive since dependents are ineligible to work.

The VO can see from the F2-I20 how you intend to cover the $22k, without the proof the I20 documents won't be issued in the first place. It means the money to survive is secured already , if asked during the interview about how you intend to cover expenses, all you need do is demonstrate how you will cover expenses during your stay in the USA i.e you will offer to show evidence you have the money secured in your account , savings, and also show other sources of income available to the family, like if you have assets or additional family support and your own funds too. Mention your spouse has full funding and accommodation for 1yr is secured.

Opemz:
Guru in the house.

Please can I get appointments date for B1/B2 this year or early next year


Please I need your info

Applying for B1/B2 is not a wise decision . It is a panic one, unless she is ready to convince the VO beyond reasonable doubt that she doesn't have dual intent, having previously applied for F2.

Opemz:
Guru in the house, please help me judge this transcript. My sister attended yesterday
4F2:

Abuja Embassy

Me: Good morning
Vo:Where are you going?
Me: I am going to university of Massachusetts to visit my husband currently doing his PhD under the supervision of Professor Sam. Additionally, my last baby was born when my husband already left for his studies in the US.
HmVo: How long you want to stay
Me: 4week. I will be resuming back to my work on 28th because I will be facilitating a training and I will also be attending my father burial on 7th of Feb.
Vo: tell your husband to invite if he want you to come
Next:Blue paper. Doesn't allow me to talk

Please guru in the house your advice is highly needed. She is thinking maybe B1/B2 is the best

I think the problem is that F2 is a dependent visa tied to the duration of her spouse study. It is not a short visit visa ..that is why the VO asked how long you are staying. You should have said you are staying for the duration of your spouse study to give him emotional support and to keep the family together having giving birth after he left...you know something emotional. F2 visa was created for dependent and you qualified for it, no point lying about the true intentions having secured the F2-I20. All the things you said about coming back after 4wks is unnecessary, you make it look like you applied for B1/B2. So stay on your F2 and reapply . But if you truly wants to return after 4weeks request for invitation from your husband and apply for B1/B2. Honestly you don't need that stress , your best option if F2 , put yourself together , and reapply

[quote author=abike12 post=126718553]

consider staying away from the south... I know homes are cheaper etc but wanting non violence state and being a lecturer, you probably want to live in a more enlightened environment. are you coming with a spouse and do they plan to work? If I had to choose again I would move to a city in colorado or california. Seattle is another good choice.

[What exactly is your reason for saying "stay away from South"? homes are cheaper doesn't make any sense. So she should now move to Colorado or California what exactly are you saying.../quote]. If you are serious about the move consider Texas or Georgia, Virginia is not bad too, there are chilled suburbs in these states.
