Sorry about the delay. In your next interview, try to be upfront about the reason for the denial. Be sincere, acknowledge it, including giving a compelling reason why it happened. Just my thought

Pls help

Yes. Even if you go to the bank, they'll give you the samething

Jaytee116:
Would the consulate accept statement of that is printed from Gtbank Internet banking portal ? ... PS it is signed and stamped...

Not for incoming international students. The guideline was upturned for students already in the U.S

Predstan:


Not true. The directives was upturned before Fall 2020 and students can online classes even if it’s fully online

What I read was that there is no directive yet from ICE regarding spring semester. So incoming international students should work with the guideline for fall 2020 which states that 100% of courses can not be online. That is, take at least one in-person/hybrid class - 3 credit hours of in-person class should be okay according to the guideline

nitdude:
Good evening my people. I want to ask this question for those whose study visa have been approved.

Did your University request you for 6 hour in-person classes (6 credit) and a total of 9 credits for fresh I-20 holder else the person will not be allowed into the United states?

PLS let's confirm this and be sure b4 leaving. My IPO said it's the guideline from USICE

One is allowed to be heartbroken when they are denied anything in life.

klawaaa:
Being denied Visa does not really So, get use to it; rekindle , restrategise and bounce back!

Have you been able to use this to book appointment? I ask because you will need the reference number. You can to your internet banking to generate a receipt. Internet banking not the gtbank app

gynnie:
Please I have an issue with the receipt from gtbank, I paid my Visa Fee via the Gt Mobile app but I haven't gotten a receipt, the only receipt I have is the "Gtbank Online Transfer Advice" I will like to know if this is sufficient.

Over 3000 schools in U.S bro. I'm of the opinion that we should be thinking about Visa already while we are applying to schools. ission is relatively easy to get, you will always find a school, especially if scholarship isn't a factor. The problem is the Visa. You should have done more to convince them, including providing a proof that you were taught in English. Also, people used duolingo test which was taken online from the comfort of their homes. Many options, including applying to schools that waive English for Nigerians. Anyway, since you already have the ission and plan to apply for Visa with it, prepare well. I pray you find favour

Tomison:



I couldn’t take Toefl due to the pandemic that’s why the school suggested that

A Nigerian that wants to do a whole one-year English pathway program doesn't really sound well. Better to find a school that doesn't come with such condition or write TOEFL.

Tomison:



Well the school accepted me but they said I will take a 1 year English program before I start my main major.. They called it the pathway program and the school in particular is Troy University, Alabama

1. I have made several attempts to correct you calmly but you decided not to take corrections
2. The whole Visa process has a set of rules. Don't encourage people to make decisions based on assumptions that negate the rules.
3. Try to calm down and get a deep understanding yourself. I encourage you to read the rules, or you can read other people's anecdotes that are confirmed and doesn't seem like lies or flukes. It is even unwise to make life decisions based on flukes. Someone might even claim they slipped at the embassy after rejection and because of that they were approved.
5. Nobody is really anybody's mate. Not in the real world and specifically not on a faceless forum. For example, you might tell me you have travelled to five countries and I can say I have eight wives. It is a matter of perspectives.

Chonco:


If you want to correct someone, you do that calmly and constructively.

Everything ridiculous seems to have happened around you before. The other day you said someone was refused Visa, got into a fight with a security official and was then given the Visa. You said this because another troll made a ridiculous claim. Why don't you just calm down and focus on getting undergraduate scholarships.

Chonco:


It has actually happened before where someone was asked to show the old form and new form upon request. They just needed to and that was just it.
The advise is not a must do. It's optional.

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:


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

@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.

Since it is like a Plan B, you can try University of Alabama. Earlier this year, one of their Professors tweeted about looking for grad students

Fabuloski:

Thank you for this response, I will check it out. I really desire to sneak 1 or 2 of Chemical Engineering into the mix

You are a smart guy so please be smart with this issue. A lot of schools offer Chemical Engineering,
check like 20 of them particularly the prerequisites. If you don't meet up with the prerequisites, it should tell you that you might not qualify in most schools. If you end up applying, you might be denied or asked to take those prerequisites at your own expense.

Fabuloski:
Good day bosses,
I know the discussion going on now is about interview. I hope I get a response for this

By the way, all the program I am gunning for is a Ph.D. plus for my GRE, my Quant is 166 and during my undergraduate, I did 5 mathematics courses and I had distinction in all.

That is strange that you did not find that step. It is a step everyone finds, even first time applicants

edox15:


I didn't find that step on my portal.

You might need to work hard in searching for schools but it is very possible.

psychologyshuby:
Hello guys, looks like only guys in the science aspect gets funded programs. Is there any one currently studying public istration? Or who just got a funded public istration ission..please help ������

IMO the DS-160 confirmation seem to be the only coloured you need. The official that does the 1st screening asks for a printed port photo when she feels that the picture on the DS-160 is not clear enough

Spring1000:
People who have had their interviews. Was your DS160 I'm colored print? What other documents have to be in colored print?

The way I see it, your US SOA must have come from savings from your funding. Your funding is meant to you and you alone ideally. Using that SOA has an undertone that both of you want to be living on stipends from your funding. It is just the way I see it. My suggestion: 1. I think you mentioned that the deficit is 5k. Is your wife employed? Why not build her own . So when asked, she can say she has saving of $**** and then her mother-in-law is also going to her. 2. If you can renew your Visa this year in maybe Mexico, do it. 3. Let her work on the reply to the first question. "I want to my husband" seem ambiguous. It might mean "I want to be working to him". Why not "I am going to bla bla bla to be with my husband "
However, these things are subjective sometimes; V.O dependent, so we can never know

I'm sure others might have their comments

Abone2:


according to what she reported to me, the conversation was like this(only 3 questions)
**after the initial greetings and biometrics***
V.O: why are u going to the US
She: I am going to my husband who's currently having his PhD at (name of sch)
(v.o confused the i20 as F1 and she corrected him it's F2 - maybe cos of my own copy that she also took along)
V.O: Do you have any kid(s)
she: No
V.O: who is sponsoring you?
she: my mother-in-law
V.O: sorry you do not qualify...(214b reason)
***No further questions, no documents checked***

can u pls say why u think using my US SOA is not cool?

I think you should share her transcript so people can comment on what might have gone wrong. Also, I don't think you should use your US .

Abone2:
guys pls help me reason this and suggest the better

What do you guys think? I am trying to tie all loose ends ahead of her next interview.

I don't know if you are joking but even the Secretary of States does not have the rights to reverse a Visa officer's decision. If you really believe that then the jokes is on you

Chonco:

It's possible.
I've heard of someone trying to fight the security officials there(after denial) and at the course of that fight, the Consular General was just arriving and accidentally, he saw what was going on, immediately, he instructed the VO to issue the man visa o

Sorry about the delay. If your mind is willing, I think you should still shoot for spring if possible. The whole thing can be subjective really. There's a particular V.O that seemed to be harsh. His station is at the middle. It was my turn and I was praying that I will not have to go to him. The other V.O at the extreme end by the left looked friendly. I haven't seen him interview anyone but I saw the way he was relating with a Nigerian staff. When he beckoned to me to come, deep inside me, I knew I have gotten it.

Loloking:


My God I am so sad. How do you deny someone just because you feel like it without asking any important questions. That’s why It’s more painful. If it was my mistake I won’t feel this bad about it honestly. Like I wished I use the I want to use the loo and avoided this VO. This hurts

Thanks ma'am

LagosismyHome:


Congrats.....May God bless your new journey

Sorry about your denial
I think you should try to work on why the school and why the course
Also, if you really applied to Pennsylvania and U of F, you should probably be silent about it. Pennsylvania is a top school. Did you really apply? Did you get in? Because it raises the question of why you the chooses UNCG

UNCG:
My Transcript.
Lagos.
November, 13th.
Me: I was offered graduate assistantship and would be working as an instructional assistant.
VO: Who is paying the deficit?
Me: My uncle.
VO: Where does he stay?
Me: Lagos.
VO: What does he do?
Me: He operates a big medical diagnostic laboratory.
VO: Are you Married? Kids?
Me: No
VO: Your application is denied. Take this paper

I'll pay another appointment fee but this time I'll choose Abuja.

Visa Approved

V.O: Why did you choose the school

Me: The school has ongoing research that aligns with mine and with four different Professor with similar interest, all with very active labs, all collaborating constantly in research including clinical trials

V.O: how will you pay for the degree

Me: I have a graduate research assistantship that covers my full tuition and pays monthly stipends

Then he started picking the pink slip and white paper and saying the golden words at the same time.

The V.O that interviewed me seems to be the most friendly and people seemed to spend less time with him

Nevertheless, each person's case is unique and the whole process is somewhat subjective too.
Complicated sponsorship seem to be a huge factor that might lead to a lot of questions and denial from what I noticed

Thank you NL

The date actually showed as a result of someone that cancelled their appointment. More appointments between November and early January will still be cancelled, limited ofcourse, so it just depends on who gets lucky

Ftos:


Is the person given emergency?
When did he see 13th November. Is it this evening?

Yea, mine was confirmed too. Thanks for the update

Loloking:
I just got confirmed again for Nov 13th. For those of us who they asked to pick June 19th and apply an emergency appointment to maintain the Nov 13th. Someone asked that I do this so this is me doing it. I sent a message yesterday afternoon and woke up this morning to confirm my Appointment

Did you receive an email when it was confirmed?

Loloking:


Same day and almost immediately. I am very shock that some people haven’t gotten a response till now.

I guess they are not consistent with addressing the issue. Also, some people already have a later appointment on the appointment booking platform which makes it difficult to follow the rule stated in the email

Loloking:


Same day and almost immediately. I am very shock that some people haven’t gotten a response till now.

If I may ask, when did you request and when were you approved.

Loloking:


Guys I am not seeing any mail except my private mail. So let me say it here. If your appointment is for Nov 13th and they asked that you pick June 12th.

All you have to do I pick the June appointment and then request for the emergency interview, screenshot that mail they sent you and send. They will confirm your nov 13th. That’s all.
