I'm particularly sad the VO denied you visa. Sometimes, these VOs are just funny. Lawyers and doctors travel freely whenever they want to. But brother, how could you study American Law instead of International Law. Second, sponsorship was another drawback. She believed with your job profile, you could sponsor yourself or at least stand as self-sponsor. The VOs also knew some folks hire sponsors to firmly stand for them and support their application. It's not a problem. Columbia University is a good school and I do have some friends there. A Japanese, three Canadians and two Chinese. |

kingcobra2003: One thing I seems not to understand about this student visa stuff is that wen one is refused visa, he/she can not appeal, one has to either start all over again, in terms of paying new visa fee. |

OjaP: Twale sir! you're respected. Well, an American lady friend (practicing lawyer) told me for her to relocate from her state to another within this same US, she will have to take another bar exam of the new state she's moving. Conclusion, American law is dynamic but going for what seems to be conventional may be a good idea to the VOs. A lady from part one of this thread (can remember her id ...... may be onlyvirgingirl or Ayanfe22 ) told VO she's going for conflict and resolution to settle problems in Niger-Delta, Northern and southern part of Nigeria. Trust her, she bagged her visa with standing Twale (ovation) from the VO that interviewed her. |

imperiouxx: You killed it!! Even if someone coming straight from Naija is allowed to practise, how do we cope in the court room with our thick accent, I doubt it if the Judge will even understand 30percent of what we are saying. That could mean a bad case, no clients, and ultimately no job. Well, some just become immigration lawyer and all they do for their clients is paper work for Green card and citizenship...that one too dey. If I really want to be an attorney in the US, I will go back to take some English and speech classes. It is so needed, unless I am never ever ready to appear in court. 1 Like |

kingcobra2003: Everything went well till you mentioned your sponsor. The VO's find it difficult to understand this concept of uncle as benefactor! Once you bring it up, their radars go on. From there on, their scrutinity is at the height! Couple it with excessive income, unless your uncle happens to be Adenuga or some such, hmm they pounce and shake your evidence like a rabid dog, until they find something to tear to bits! Unfortunately they most times seem to find something. |

@Ojap, you're absolutely right. He really needs to re-structure his English to North American style of speaking to get paperwork job because Americans do pay a lot of attention to accents. They even criticize the British sometimes. Anyway, good morning everybody! |

Goodmorning all. Thanks for all the helpful insights. I do believe that d sponsor is d problem, not the fact that i'm going to America to study law. I still say that I knw a lot of my colleagues out there studying. As a matter of fact. A law degree from these ivy league schools opens doors here in naija. I really do not want to practice in d US. All i wanted was to go for a nine month LLM prog. Anyway, i dont think its wise to change my sponsor now, it may raise a red flag as per inconsistency. Except I am going to get some cash into my account and be a self sponsored applicant. I also need ur insights as to whether or not the denials during the old passport period still shows on an applicant's profile. Thanks everyone. |

You guys should know that after 9/11, US start keeping good record of every applicant entering/trying to enter their country. I'll search and post a documentary about things that changed for immigrants into US after 9/11. If you were denied 10 years ago, your denial reason(s) should have improved by now. Therefore, you will be good if you're not trying to p!mp any of your info. 1 Like |

kingcobra2003: But u self no try at all o...how can u tell the VO ur uncle earns 15-20M monthly and not have proof to back up ur claim. Even the presidents monthly salary isn't upto that.U shlda gone thru his statements earlier and had a figure or an estimate in ur head. I dunno how much my sponsor earns monthly, but I went thru his statements and found the average of the monthly credits to his account and of course dey asked me d same Q and approved my visa afterwards. 1 Like |
