7? As in s-e-v-e-n? Wow! God help us.

Mjseun:

Congratulations gal. Collected mine 8:48am today. Which State you heading to?

bbdd:

Oh ok.
It is.

The recommendation thing though. Im doing 7 schools. Now tell me about that stress.

One thing is this and I've told myself over and over.
I don't care if the lecturer can't press a keyboard.
Im getting my recommendation.
Simple and short.

Get like 5 lecturers and disperse it among them
They hardly say no to these things.
So if you have like 5 you can just share if among them so they don't feel like you're disturbing them or something.

godG:

I love this! Holistic approach. God bless you, Mr. Dotun.

Mjseun: Saw this on US embassy website this morning and read thus:
The Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs is currently experiencing technical problems with our visa system.  We are operating at a significantly reduced capacity and will be until we clear the document backlog.
This issue is worldwide and is not specific to any particular country, citizenship document, or visa category.
We are working urgently to correct the problem and expect our system to be fully operational again soon.  We will be posting updates to Travel.State.Gov as more information becomes available.
The U.S. Department of State is currently experiencing technical problems with its visa system, which are affecting global operations.  This issue is worldwide and is not specific to any particular country or visa category.  We recognize and deeply regret the inconvenience to travelers.  We are doing everything possible to return passports with visas as soon as we are able to complete processing.  We regret that we are currently unable to predict how long the delay will be.

Applicants who interviewed with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate after July 21 and would like their passports returned to them without the U.S. visa may contact the call center at  014406295 or by email at support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com with their name and passport number.

Applicants who have an urgent need to travel to the United States may contact the call center at 014406295 or by email at support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com with their name, passport number, and nature of the emergency.  Please understand that only true emergencies of an extraordinary humanitarian nature can be considered for exceptional handling.

I had my interview that same day at the bolded and I was actually thinking of cancelling it for later day. Thank you Jesus I didn't listen to the thought.

As for you still waiting for your visa to be issued God will touch the system on time and it will begin work perfectly in Jesus name.

Dot1:
Recommendations come in different forms depending on school. Some schools do online recommendations whereby forms are sent to your recommenders to fill. Others require you to print the form online and give to ur recommenders to fill, then either scanning and send to the school or you send it with ur application package. Some schools only receive letters written by ur recommenders and submitted to them using either their commercial or official email addresses

Long live the USA Student Visa thread.

dsemondlizzy: Happy new month house! I need urgent answers to the following questions please. I've applied for US visa twice with denial. Am a busy businessman so I applied through agents both times I was denied. A friend introduced me to dis thread and asked me to reapply as a graduate cos I have my Bsc already. Now, I need to know if I can start all over again with a new Ds160. The previous applications were meant to attend a seminar in d states. Can I still reapply as a student? What are the necessary things I also need to know before I start applying for admissions?

domex007:

You need to search for schools (universities) of your choice on the internet using usnews.com, google.com etc
Contact them and ask them for their requirements.
Prepare for standard tests like GRE and TOEFL since you r going for Masters.
Goodluck Sir

dsemondlizzy:
I've filled a DS 120 before. Won't I encounter any problem if I fill another DS160 hopefully after getting the admission?

Stewee:

Bros,we hail!
First you desperately seem like an intending immigrant. (No offence)
I believe a B1 visa is what you need.

Student visa's require a lot of work and you don't even seem like you really wana go there to study so you don't risk another refusal.

Posting the transcripts of your previous interview won't be a bad idea... Let's start from there. Remember you already have a history so you can't be too careful.
Thanks bro! Am not as desperate as I sounded, just that time is on no man's side. I can't vividly recall my transcripts but the lady who interviewed me the first time had already given me a pick up slip before she returned my passport again. I don't what went wrong but I've been going through agents. Both denials were may and July respectively. I've decided to go and do my master's now cos I need it. I've been following this thread for a while so I have little idea of how to procure an admission already by myself. My major fear is the previous Ds120 I've filled. I just need to know if it won't affect my F1 visa application in the nearest future before I put in my time and resources. I'm already taken classes for GRE cos am an Engineering student. Juss shed more light please

How long ago where your previous refusals?

domex007: AUGUST 2014.
I release this word of prophesy on this trend to those going for visa interview:
May the Lord send His angels to make our path smooth, amen
May He grant us safety and preserve us from any accident.
May He show us Mercy as he show David in Ps51.
May He lead us from every denying VO.
May He protect us from our enemies and bad wishes with the prayers of ps 91.
May He cover the Embassy with the Blood of His son Jesus..
May He give us testimonies now and forever more, AmEN, AMEN, AMEN..
Happy new month and goodluck..

Graviton2:

Yes, It's very necessary.

Theflint1: this road is one much less travelled, why don't u call d school(s) and ask 'em if they accept SAT(there normally exists an SAT-ACT conversion scale). But just in case, MIKON in Benin takes the ACT, not 100% sure, so u cud Google 'em and check for their contacts.
