The money is way more than the amount like more, he's my mum's younger brother so we don't share Same surname,. He'd been ive throughout my undergrad school, I'm a nurse, I also work with him in his hospital cos he owns one

you can fill another ds-160 form indicating your uncle as your new sponsor and update the new Ds 160 number in the cgifederal website

Not sure what you mean, but you can't have an interview with an expired port.

Sugarxx:
Hello guys,

I have a quick question please. My interview is next week and my port expired July 2020. I am unable to renew the port as you can’t renew a port that is valid for up to six months at the time or renewal. Please is this an issue ?

Looking forward to hearing from y’all

Thank you

So, you expect your visa to be issued on an expired port? Yes, you can renew even before that 6 months, and July is such a long time, how come you never renewed it ever since?

Who knows where or how port can be booked within the span of 3days

@Chonco, you know you don't exactly have to answer all questions. You can just ignore if you are not sure.
How much is reciprocity fee? Easy and objective
Some other questions are not that straightforward and one needs to be tact about it. This your advice is not it, don't be the cause of someone's misfortune

Chonco:



A new bar code and confirmation will be given to you.

If you try these and nothing shows up, have it in mind that you didn't save your initial application and this will cause you to fill in a fresh DS160 form.

Don't forget to come along with the old and new one for your interview. If the VO demands for the old one, present it or you can just present the two together indicating the old and new. I hope this helps.

Sorry I meant my port expires July 2021.

You just want to dash them 62k like that. You can’t used an expired port, it’s even on their site.

Sugarxx:

You have more than 6 months validity as stated on the website, what exactly is your fear here?

Loloking:

I made a mistake. I meant my port expires July 2021. When I went to renew I was told I can’t renew if the port is not expiring in 6 months.
My port expires July 2021. Please is it okay?

Cocao:

Okay. That’s what I thought too. I just watched video on YouTube and the babe said if your program is 2 years make sure your port is valid for 2 years �‍♀️ I was confused and decided to ask. Thank you

My guess is you’re good to go, just my guess anyways. So far it’s not yet expired.

I had some people went for interview today. How was it and I'm not seeing transcript too.

Joclins:

I will recommend to you to someone but not in Lagos, you will have to move out of Lagos. I guarantee you have it a day or next day. You’ll just have to pay the price. Tested and trusted

Loloking:

I am not sure he is good oo. Says port must be valid at least 6months beyond your intended duration of stay in US. So if u are going for a two years program, your port must still be valid for 2years 6months. I had to get a reissue in a hurry because of this criteria even though the previous hasn't expired.

It will be wise to renew your port before you go though that way you don't have to go through that struggle again

My interview is on Tuesday. I tried to renew my port earlier (sometime in August) and I was told that I can’t renew if my port is not expiring in 6 months... meaning the earliest I can renew is by February 2021 or I claim my port was stolen. I don’t then know what to do now ��

Sincerely, I don't understand your comment, kindly make me understand.

I'm simply telling you to be mindful of the advice you give here. If it isn't fact like "how much reciprocity fee is", then be cautious. The alternative is not to answer at all.

Chonco:

When's your intended date of arrival? Jan i guess.
Since it's not expiring in 6 months from Jan, i don't think it should be an issue since it can't be renewed as stated by immigration service.
What some do is renew their port when they arrive US at any of the four Nigeria embassies in US.
But if it's possible to get a new port between tomorrow and Monday, fine and good.

Good evening house, how true is it that all sevis fee payment that ought to expire this year has been extended to 31st dec,2020?

What do you understand in that comment? Maybe i didn't state it the way many would understand but it's basically the same thing with other words of advice from different persons here.

Sorry for responding late, I had to confirm from her first before replying. She said it's the sponsor's full name and company name with 26k+ as SOA and 28k+ as available balance.

Chonco:


What's written on her I20 form? Talking about the Sponsor and total money

Thanks for this. But in a situation where both names are different...??
The VO might check her profile to confirm if it's same name. Don't you think so??
This is indeed a complicated situation and I'm completely out of suggestions to give her.

dipdat123:
I think one can still use a personal SOA even after being denied with a corporate SOA. You can inform the VO that you brought a personal SOA of your sponsor this time around.

Event14:
God bless you all for all you do. I need help

I filled my dad as my sponsor, my interview is in two weeks, but my dad is presently not in available to get the SOA. my uncle who is a medical doctor is willing to help with his SOA and with a written note regarding that as my sponsor but my dad's name is reflecting on ds160. Will this affect in any way?

Your dad could request his statement be sent to him via email and forward same to you.

May testimonies fill this thread today! It's going to be a good day!

Hello guys, for someone going for an f1 visa interview without taking toefl exams but was still accepted by the school, Will there be a problem during the interview?

Also does anyone have the dates available for f1 visa in Lagos?

If the school does not require IELTS, then, there won't be an issue.

Youngstown:
Here's my transcript. Was interviewed on 13th Nov. 6am. When I got in, it was only one vo that was doing the interview. Then another ed him, this one speaks very fast. This guy denied the guy in fornt of me, denied me and the guy behind.

V.o where are you going to.
Me- I'm going to wright state university Dayton Ohio for my msc in mechanical engineering
V.o- To specialize in
Me- (quite apprehensive here cus I was not expecting this qst) renewable and sustainable energy.
Who is your sponsor- my parents, dad is a physician, mum is a lawer.
(Then he asked for my statements, glanced through it and gave it back. It had twice the sum)
V.o- have you travelled out of the country b4
Me- no, I have had no reason to.
That was all. Gave me the green slips that states I'm ineligible under section 214 (b)....unable to demonstrate strong ties. How would I have demonstrated strong ties with those four qst? No why master or what will this degree do for you. Sad stuff. I however noticed ppl with full funding got their Visa regardless their performance. I felt I would have explained when he asked "to specialize"?
And stated I had 5k scholarship for 2 yrs before I say my parents would sponsor. I was purely unlucky. Immediately the vo started interviewing guys, I knew he would disturb cus of the way he was speaking. I'm confused as to what to do next. If I am to reapply and move to Abj. No close dates sef for ppl rejected. Gurus in the house, Fairheart, lagosismyHome, Solihp muleriders what do you think?
Thanks.

The issue here is probably with your school. Wright State University seems to be frowned upon at the embassy and it has low approval ratings at the embassy. Change your school and try again.

arcTY:
Good evening house, how true is it that all sevis fee payment that ought to expire this year has been extended to 31st dec,2020?

No, what was extended was the visa fee. Till 31st Dec, 2021

Please can I still get ission for Spring Semester MS?

If so can you assist with the names and if they offer Application waiver.

Thank you guys. Please urgent answers needed.
