Great, Thanks.

lasthero:
Fly airmaroc from Lagos to jfk at $1250

Then fly American airlines from jfk to Houston. Cost should be average of $400

Your total should be around $1650 (594k)

This is good, Thanks....

ghs007:
Try other websites like jumia travels , cheapflights.com, travelbeta, Waka now etc.

Ok Thanks.

folmus:
last April wasn't a rush period. Check different airlines and compare the prices. Are you checking a return flight or one way?

One way, I have compared them, they are about the same price range.

I’ve never made this kind of comment on the media space in my entire life but I need to make an exception for this one, I know this boy from Fayemi’s Chief of Staff (Egg Head) Office,he is arrogant and plain stupid.

ghs007:
Try to check the price of Abuja to Houston because it is usually cheaper and you can save yourself about 100k flying from Abuja. Also compare the price for different departure dates.

Osiokoye:
Try checking Travelstart.com they have really affordable prices especially if you’re traveling from Abuja. Abuja seems to be cheaper than Lagos route.

Thanks for your replies... I really appreciate.

Somebody help me i’m flying to Texas and I’ve been surfing the internet persistently for the past few days in search of an affordable flight fare, all efforts have proved abortive oh, na like 700k or thereabout I dey see ,for Lagos(LOS) to Houston(IAH).

I no understand cos someone flew to the same location last April for 350k, is there a way I can tweak this to get a cheaper price? Thanks.

Tunmise100:
Congratulations. Go and excel!

Thanks Boss.

Nahum777:
Congrats bro. Did you receive any mail to go for you Passport and when did you receive it after seeing issued on the website?

I received a mail from them, you will get it most definitely tomorrow.

Went for my interview on July 19, 2019 was placed on AP, Visa was issued the next day on the 20th.

Was interviewed by the Elderly white VO, I have only wished to be interviewed by a VO with a calm and friendly demeanor fortunately I got one, I can’t deal with having a conversation with someone with an off-putting countenance, I won’t function properly.

This VO allowed me talk extensively and I was fully prepared to give the speech of my life , for my mind
Oh.

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning Sir (smiled to create a good impression)

VO: I see your are going to Texas A&M University in Kingsville
Me:yes

VO: why?
Me: To pursue a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering

VO: Do you have a bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering?
Me: Yes, I have a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronics Engineering

VO: In what year?
Me: December , 2014.

Vo:How did you hear about this school?
Me: I’m an avid reader of the journals, articles and conference papers published on the the IEEE xplore website with a bias towards renewable energy, smart grids, internet of things and micro AC/DC Grids as it aligns with my area of research Interest, Fortunately I stumbled upon a conference paper that won the best paper at the IEEE electro-info conference in Nebraska in the March of 2017 ,by a certain faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Science department of TAMUK, Dr. Kim, I sent him a mail and he required me to send my Resume and Statement of purpose and subsequently encouraged me to apply to TAMUK because in-fact there is an ongoing research in Sustainable renewable energy and distributed generation at the department ...... VO cuts in

VO: You served with the Nigeria Army, What have you been doing after your NYSC?
Me: After my Youth Service I got a job with **** Power Plc, in July 2016 as a Trainee Engineer, and after a year I was confirmed as a member of Staff.

Vo: what are your duties?
Me: Maintenance of generators, Circuit Breakers, Relays , Electric Motors and other Electrical Equipment Critical to Electricity Generation process, Inspect Electrical installations and observe if its operation are in conformity with safety standards.........VO interrupted

Vo: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: 5

VO: Mention them
Me: University of Florida in Gainesville, Michigan Tech University in Houghton, Northern Illinois University in Delkab, University of New Haven in Connecticut and Texas A&M University In Kingsville..... I was rejected by UFL.

VO: So why did you pick TAMUK over MTU and UNH?
Me: First, I was quite fascinated with the work of Dr Kim as I said earlier, second ,due to the ongoing research in the department in Renewable Energy which is one of the few solutions we have to the Energy crises in Nigeria, third, I was offered the New Grad Student scholarship which provided a 33.2% mark down on the initial cost of attendance, and $1000 to cover for few textbooks, and lastly, South Texas has one of the warmest weathers in the US, the data I got from the website usclimatedata.com with regard to Kingsville is quite close to what’s obtainable in Nigeria, this will enable me to acclimatize quickly with the new environment and face my studies squarely.

VO: Did you write any test?
Me: Yes, I wrote the GRE and TOEFL

VO: What are your score?
ME: I had 160 in the quant section and 151 in the Verbal section , and i had 101 in TOEFL.

VO: What will you do with this degree? ( he immediately looked at me, me sef kuku stared into his soul, i didn’t even flinch)
Me: This degree will enable me seek better remuneration from my current Employer and equip me with the right skill Sets to start my own enterprise as a Renewable Energy Specialist on the long term.
I always tell my colleagues that Power Engineering business is the most lucrative business in Nigeria even more than any country in the world because of our demography, we have a power deficit of about 75 million and we are only able to generate about a meagre 4000MW, though we have the capacity to generate 12,000MW,( VO tries to cut me short, but I raised my voice and spoke very fast) about 20 million households are not connected to the National grid, so there is a huge target market and plethora of Opportunities.

(VO tries to Cut in but I continued,I no gree u must hear this oh) as a matter of fact your country is aware of these opportunities, there is a grant from USAID through the Power Africa program for entrepreneurs who are interested in Renewable Energy, to the tune of $100,000, so the opportunities are enormous back home. And this is my motivation behind getting this degree... VO cuts in

VO: Who’s paying?
Me: My Uncle

VO: why is he paying?
Me: He’s been responsible for my education in one way or the other, Initially when I told him about my plans to study abroad he told me to come up with a proposal to see if getting this degree is worth the money, I guess he saw how viable my plans are on the long run.

VO: What does he do?
ME: He is a Senior Facilities Manager at ***** Company, one of the biggest Oil coy in the world.

VO: can I see his statements?
Me: (I handed it over to him and while he was checking it I added )
It’s a domiciliary account and the funds there are specifically earmarked for the purpose of my studies to forestall any issues with Foreign Exchange fluctuations.

He picked a white paper from the top shelf, i didn’t even know it’s the famous white Paper, Cos at that point I was prepared to receive any paper either white or blue, Cos getting the blue paper seem like the norm on that particular day.
He ticked administrative processing and told me if the Statements are not genuine I will be banned from the USA for at least 10 years.........My status changed the next day on the 20th.

Special thanks to Walspring for helping me with my TOEFL payment , mackynaija for helping me with my I-20 and inspiring me with his thread, and finally to all the contributors on this invaluable thread, as at August 2017 I know nada about the F1 Visa application processes, this thread saved me thousands of Bucks that could have easily gone to those atrocious Visa Agents. Thanks Y’all.

Tohlou:
If you’re picking for yourself, go in full flesh but if it’s on behalf of someone you’d be needing their means of identification.

Ok, thanks for your reply.

Pls which document is required for passport collection at the DHL office in Victoria Island? Thanks.

Nahum777:
I was placed on administrative processing too, but it's still showing administrative processing. Chaii, make these people do well oo.

winzy:

Pardon me progressives, I go post my comprehensive Transcript the moment my hand don touch my PP, my Village people strong.

@Nahum777, I think I saw you, the YouTube Guy, u wore a white shirt and you are a bit tall.

Ubah1:
And who said they don't check bal. Did you move everything from the account? To me i think they check both... looking at how canada processes their own. Assuming its 2m or 3m that's left, its understandable. 8m to 99k... hmmm. Am not a v.o, all the best to him

Hi bro, I don’t think they have the authorization to probe for someone’s account balance, it’s against the bank fiduciary duties/responsibilities, in my opinion they can only check if the account is legit.

And according to CBN as a bank customer, you have the right to privacy and confidentiality. But na Naija sha anything fit happen.

Sorelee:
its to the discretion of the VO to approve or Denial Visas, someone got her Visa here just yesterday with her Father Inlaw as sponsor.

close relatives can be your sponsor prepare and hope for the best.

Yes Sir, dem fit no just like person face.

bigfrancis21:
The image is in line with what I said earlier. The population of India runs in Billions thus you have twice or more the number of potential F1 students compared to Nigeria, and also higher number of F1 students from India in Nigeria compared to Nigeria. Notice that all these 10 countries listed have one thing in common - very high population. In terms of probability in math, the higher the population the higher the frequency of occurrence. The point I tried to make earlier is that if Nigeria has 10 million potential F1 students hitting the embassy yearly, India has closer to 70 million yearly and their visa interviews/requirements are tougher than that of Nigeria because the embassy definitely can't let all that huge number in but overall you get more F1 Indian students than F1 Nigerian students because of their much higher sampling size/population.

That’s insightful boss, I concur.

Ubah1:
Your interview went well. Sponsor is just the reason for this denial. Since your parents are alive, why will your aunt be sponsoring you from secondary school days. I smell lies there. You didn't give a good reason why your aunt is sponsoring you.

But a lot of folks here have gotten their visas approved with their Uncles and Aunts as Sponsors......Bros I’m not understanding oh.

yuscodguy:
In my own view i think the best option is to go with both so far they both carry your father's name

Ok, thanks for your reply.
