Thanks baba. I am really confused here as two people already advised to attend the F1 visa alone because if the whole family go at once then home ties is questionable. I already included them in the I-20 (thanks)

Yea, your family is a good home tie. But other things could stand as home ties too -- land, business, house etc

I might have to concur with those who advised you to go alone tho -- but I know next to nothing when it comes to changing status.

MsNas:
Nope, you don't need a transit visa if you're flying through Holland. Nobody is going to ask for it or disturb you. You're not going to leave the airport anyways.

Yeah, you can sleep at the airport in ATL. Make sure you time yourself and don't miss your connecting flight to Gainesville. Have a safe trip.

Thank you very much MsNas, I'm planning to book my flight to Gainesville when I get to Atlanta. Direct flight is too expensive so wanna break it, still it's over #400k but still prefer it to paying the huge direct flight for 650k upward. Also opting for the breaking in booking incase there's a delay during departure.. so I won't miss the already paid flight from Atlanta to Gainesville.

I know it's peak period so I don't have option.

Or what do you think MsNas?

Thanks.

Go on with your plan bro. I have a colleague whose visa was approved with his baby boy and wife. Although he's going first then the wife and kid will join him latter.

All the best bro

Exactly my point!

azeezbaba: So when I heard it doesn't require much to open a BOA account, i quickly opened one in Long Island, NY. So I moved all the money from my GTB account through ATM to my BOA account and I started using my BOA Visa card. I have a lot of friends in the US and whenever they want to send money to Nigeria, I simply tell them to send the money to my BOA account while I help them transfer the naira equivalent to their beneficiaries in Nigeria. I hope i have answered all your questions.

Are you going coming to Long Island?

Dear house, please what's the name and address of that famous hotel in obalande? My interview is 2mao.

Thanks.

Yeah, you could book at the ATL airport when you get there. You might even opt for the early morning flight. Its always kinds cheaper. I paid for my connecting flight from IAD to LIT from Nigeria but I missed the flight. I ended up paying another airfare the next morning but they waived my baggage fees.

An alternative is to book the connecting flight for the next morning. Make sure you have at least 5hours to clear customs and immigration. Then you'll be fine. Its peak period and prices might be high for OTC booking

MsNas:
I'm doing good. You? When do you leave for Canada?

This month shaa!

I dey think to defer, then go Qatar go spend some time b4 finally leaving to Canny Nov/Dec.

Thank you very much. I guessed right and also wanted to be sure. Hv experienced missing a flight before from London to Nigeria, it was painful, paid extra £245 to still secure my seat for the third day not even for the next day.

Great. I see that you don't want to take chances as regards your interview. Saying according to research sounds a little bit antediluvian , make it sound like your work by saying "from my own research." blah blah blah. That's the first one. The second, I'm coming to help you out, while you wait for others to comment too.

Everything looks good. But personally, I think you should work on the bolded. As a married man, and a worker for that matter, the VO may not be patient enough after you simply say your mum is sponsoring. So, try to include why she's sponsoring when answering that question.

E.g.
VO: Who is sponsoring?
YOU: Well, as an heir to my late father's estate, I will be sponsored by my mum from proceeds from the said estate. The estate is transportation agreement with pz, cadbury, wampco and ewekoro cement and landed properties.

Joenice: Great. I see that you don't want to take chances as regards your interview.

Thanks and God bless you. am waiting for ur help

ase65:

Yes I did ooo. Don't know what to do again

academic experience from US University is highly valued in Nigeria. The US offers blah blah blah...That's the second. For the third, I am coming.
NB: Mentioning Nigeria here demonstrates home ties.

honeyad:

Just write I was denied visa under section 214b.. According to the paper you were given when you were denied at first..

And when they ask him..."What has changed since then nko? what will he say?

While the third, just follow what juntod said and you would be all right. Wishing you the best of luck @castrotroy80

Stewee:

And when they ask him..."What has changed since then nko? what will he say?

I guess he has worked on that already.. I only gave a simple response to his question.. Shikena

Mjseun: Please how do I reserve a flight oooo. What I'm seeing is too expensive. Economy class for that matter. Bursting my head right now.

My brother na see we see am ooo..
Its peak perio right now so flight fares will be of the roof.

When are you expected to report to school?
the farther ahead you book and pay, the cheaper it may be.
I booked with Qatar with about 1month before departure and paid 201k to Miami. I have two stop overs in Doha and London heathrow...Plz don't ask about the wait times in between. it's the price I have to pay so I'm ready.

Aside the interview, please do more to watch Crime and Investigation Channel, it will make you a top-notch Crime Investigator. Some cases are won by out playing your opponents in the courtroom. @castrotroy80

stevecrun: Plane tickets prices bursting people's head here..

Winter will bring greater promises..make una no worry

During winter prices are somewhat cheaper but the risks involved are much greater... flights are cancelled cos of weather and that's when planes usually skid off runways
