I take God beg una. What is the issue and what is the next line of action

reigningme:
Hello good people, why would the Cgi portal not showing rescheduled tab. It is only showing cancel and emergency. It is for a family member please. She was previously denied and has rescheduled 2 times . Thanks

Very well. I know a friend who is resuming for her PHD this Fall from UK. Go ahead and shoot your shot! haha

ubongty:
Please I need to clarify my doubt.
Can I apply for F-1 visa from the UK?

My current status - Post graduate work permit

Hello good people, why would the Cgi portal not showing rescheduled tab. It is only showing cancel and emergency. It is for a family member please. She was previously denied and has rescheduled 2 times . Thanks

Thank you for your response. She was denied and the port was returned back to her.

GlorifiedNoW:



Was she denied or delayed?
Is her port truly with the embassy? If yes, then she has to wait or send an email to them via : @ustraveldocs.com
Usually when no response ( not denied, not accepted) was given to you during your interview, and they took your port it means it's under "istrative processing" they're going through your information and they'll definitely get back to you.

Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Her husband is in US and currently in his OPT working. Probably that could have caused the denial. What is suggestion regarding proof of fund. In the 1st interview she used the husband and a sponsor but she want to to reapply now . Her school has been ed to update the I-20 to include personal fund. In addition, the sponsor is now the main one while been second by the husband and a personal fund. I hope the new strategy is ok. Thank you for your time.

mojolajesu:
It’s an error from the portal. Just ignore it and schedule a new date. You don’t have any issues

On the cgi portal of someone who had a delay, it is showing , your port is still with the US embassy. What could be wrong. In addition, she is planning to reapply

Olawrites:

In the cgi portal, the EA is not showing after and this person is applying for the first time . Please what could be responsible for that

aeeshcrystal:

Simply click on the provide option at the left hand corner of your CGI profile. Send them an email, telling them you want to book an appointment but your profile is showing you this message. Attach the screenshot of the problem you’re encountering and that’s all. They’ll get back to you in less than 24 hours and open the calendar for you.

Thank you so much. I have done that asking for advise here but the response was that it is embassy’s official prerogative responsibility. I was instructed to and schedule. The response does not solve the issue. In my humble opinion,I think that is not designed for that purpose.. I appreciate you. Thanks again.

Holuwakenny:
You should receive within 72hrs

Thank you so much for the info. I will keep my eye open on the email.

Blegolicious:

Just keep checking the mail you ed with. you will be sent an approved mail, then you to your profile to book a date.
I created my profile on friday and it was approved on monday, logged into my profile and scheduled my appointment based on the available date.
so just be patient and keep checking your mail, you are on the right track

Thanks. I will keep on checking the email. I created and submitted everything last week Friday.

TEMIT0PE:
You will wait for a mail from CGI asking you to go on the portal to schedule your interview.

Transcript later.

Congratulations...

Hi guys,
It has been a while now. I want to advise you that you should not give up on your dreams of studying in the USA. Prepare, consult great people here, and put God in the equation of your life. Everything will be fine. I wish you success. I am just Grace personified, considering my background, undergraduate studies, and GRE below the standard (292). I got a GA position when I arrived in the states for my MS in Information Systems. I even got more than one, but I had to drop one. The good news is that currently, I am on 4.0. So, Don't give up, guys!. REfire!

It is not mandatory but I think it looks good to do colored printing of your I-20

segunbolawole:
Hi Guys,

Quick one please,

Is it mandatory I do coloured printing for the documents to be taken to the embassy?

I-20 and Co.

It is urgent pls. (1) Do delta airline require negative covid -19 test? (2) Anyone in Maryville, I need help concerning accommodation
Thank you

bigfrancis21:


No you don’t need a Covid-19 test to leave Nigeria and the US doesn’t need a Covid-19 test for entry into the US from Nigeria. However any flights with a stop over in the UK might be an issue due to the new strand of the virus in the UK.

Thank you very much

Pls is there going to be a need for a negative covid-19 test upon departure from naija. Is it Nigeria federal government requirements. Pls help check this https://nitp.ncdc.gov.ng/ Thank you

kastgeraldino:
