omonaijar: Hello house,

Why does the VO ask how many schools you applied to?

fittty:



GRE? you need just SAT and TOEFL for undergraduate studies!

topzy2000: Hi Guys,

I just started following this thread after my interview and am amazed about the wealth of information found here.

I did my F1 Visa Interview in Lagos on the 9th of May and was denied. The summary of it all and what I suspected went wrong was I gave the VO a cover letter with Fixed Deposit statement (7million) from my Dad alongside his bank statement which was about 1 Million.

She spent more time looking at the Bank Statement than the Fixed Deposit. Wondered whether I should have put the account statement in the first place.

She then looks at the bank statement and looks up some figures pasted in her cubicle. I guessed there's a certain amount she was looking for or maybe the exchange rates.

My School is IIT (ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY). The fees are quite high and the fee for one year inclusive of accommodation on the I-20 is 36,000 dollars which is roughly 5.8Million. The school has good courses thats why I choose the school despite the costs.

Now I have booked an appointment for next month, I am thinking of taking the 7 Million Fixed Deposit with an account statement of the exact fees for a year (6 Mill). What do you think?

Do I need to get an affidavit that my Dad is sponsoring me or is it necessary? What else do u advise. Other interview questions were ok.

kofsy:

Saturday? You mean tomorrow? Okay no problem... Is it the Ayo ni o along oshodi?

bigfrancis21:

What exactly do you think will affect your interview? Is it that your school resumption date is nearby and you fear that entering the US after the school's resumption date will affect you at the POE? Well, the main issue is knowing if your school will accept you if you're 1/2 weeks late. Some US schools tolerate late resumption and some don't. Its left to you to find out from your school and be sure that you'll still be able to resume school if you get there 1/2 weeks late. The POE is not much of a problem.
You can always tell them your school accepted that you resume late, if they ask.

Book your interview soonest and go for it quickly. My cousin got an interview date for June 12 for Lagos last night. Or better still, call the embassy and request for an expedited interview date. Explain your situation to them. I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.
