1) A previous visit to the embassy whether denial or acceptance doesn't give you an advantage in a subsequent interview. The US consulate has your records and when you show up again, and finger print, the previous records come up. For people who have been to the embassy before, especially those that have been denied and are going again, what matters is consistency. Consistency in your answers given. Because they have your records. Saying A in a previous interview and coming back to change to say B will most likely cause your denial.

2) Don't mention anything about it. Just let your interview flow. During the course of your interview, the VO will be the one to ask you about it or make reference to it, if necessary. And when the VO asks you a question pertaining to your previous interview, always make sure your replies are consistent with your previous answers because the VO is only trying to gauge your honesty or consistency. Giving a different reply will likely lead to a denial.

Were you denied a visa based on section 214(b)? If yes, you might be issued visa this time provided that your information has changed. But other reasons such as date of birth and so on, i really don't know.

@Monology, that's ok. Have a pleasant day!

Oh, thanks for the elaborate explanation. God bless you. I really appreciate.

imperiouxx:

Sure!

Hello imperiouxx, may God bless you for your benevolence and compassion for others on this thread. I recently got introduced to this thread after being denied by the us embassy in Lag. After reading the thread I discovered my choice of school was most likely my undoing (Academy of art University)and I plan to reapply for my Msc. with a much better school. I just need preparation materials for GRE and tips on which schools are best to apply to for Msc. Computer science/IT...thanks a lot.

VIU!!!.... I still receive their reminder to send my documents up till now(abi I don send am ni)

They still owe Me $25 sef. Well, thank God for this great thread!

please house i will like to get something clear here, must i be in school 1month before the school resumption day or its just an opinion of the United State homeland security?

bones007: please house i will like to get something clear here, must i be in school 1month before the school resumption day or its just an opinion of the United State homeland security?

No! it is not a must. I think you can travel with that visa 30 days before the school resumes.

Is it from J.s.s 1 to S.S 3 or S.S 1 to 3? and please i want to know if my school should include my WAEC result? because when i checked WES website it stated WAEC result To be sent directly to WES by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).. So please am confused.

Looool are you serious? Pls what's the full name of the school? I mean WVU

Good Talk.

bigfrancis21:

My dear, the point is the school is a very low-ranked one-building 'university' which the visa officers don't regard. The admission process is way too cheap and easy and they give admissions too all John Toms, the admission criteria being just paying $200. Because of the ease of getting admission there, the VOs don't regard VIU prospective students as truly ready to learn but rather desperate potential immigrants seeking to escape from Nigeria. This always leads to visa denials.

Read the indicated pages on part 3 of this thread as Imperiouxx said. Many VIU students have gone to the embassy only to have their visas denied, they came here, got useful advice, reapplied to better schools, went for their interviews again and got their visas.

Imagine you're a Nigerian visa officer at the Nigerian embassy at say, South Africa, and you have prospective south africans coming to you for visa approvals. If you'd gladly grant those going to UNN, UNILAG, UI, UNIBEN, UNIZIK etc. their visas, would you also grant visa to someone who applied to one of these very low ranked Nigerian unis/polys or even College of Education? Won't he/she strike you as not being serious to study and having some other intentions?

The transcript is okay with just SS1-3
I don't know about the WAEC result being sent by the WAEC office directly...

E tun ti de ibi abi ? I think you meet alumnus of all schools in the US and I agree it is a good thing to have attended Ife though. I just declined my admit to WVU some weeks ago having made up my mind on my best option for my next degree. But I will admit that Morgan town is a nice city. Just branched there once on my way back from DC to Ohio sometimes back.
