luckyluciano77: Boom!

Was just given visa some minutes ago.
Thank God!

Congratulobia.

Joenice,i sent you a PM..you prolly choose to ignore it.

domex007: Hello house!
Can I use the same passport photograph I used
for my previous interview on 18 december?

You cannot. Your passport photograph must not be more than 6 months old. Its a standard requirement.

winbyforce:
I think it's best to get a passport photo that is not more than 6months old.Please take a new photo.

Bro, you are right too..
I will take a new one just incase (don't wanna risk anything)
Saw it on their website that the passort must not be older than 6 (six months)..

Thanks bro. Will get a new one.m

Dot1:
The fact that you are 30 doesn't portend a denial. It just makes it difficult getting the visa for undergraduate studies. I don't wanna be seen as a despondent becos on this thread we've seen some people with similar profile getting their F1. But I believe if you work hard, score great in SAT and ace TOEFL, then get into a good school, your chances will be made better.
Furthermore, I think you need a good reason or reasons to convince the VO that you are a genuine student. Cos 2000 is 14yrs ago. The 'interstice' in time is too much. I think thatz d biggest thing u need to work on when going for ur interview.
With prayers, hardwork and resilience, everything is possible. So, kick it off bro

Thanks for your input and your words of encouragement brother. I will kick it off in earnest and come back here to ask questions when ever I'm stuck. Meanwhile, when it comes to the period of interview, I believe my good people here will help me to fashion out a way of working around those number of years. May God see us through. I will send pm to you for more enlightenment. God bless you.

Abeg friends!
Make una no vex for me ooo, una go say my whahala too much abeg no vex, na exam (interview fever) cause am.
Na about this transcript issue..
I don't have my high school transcript with me as I didn't write my waec in my high school, I wrote GCE and am using it to for my interview.
If the VO ask for the transcript? Watin I go do, I am not really satisfied with this response "the school don't give transcripts to student but they have sent it to the University one is applying to."
Is there anybody that have used this technque and was successful, that's the only way my mind can be @ rest..
Thanks once more for your input.

Congrats luckyluciano77

Joenice: U sound misogynistic. how're u doing stevoo?

We are on the safe side now.

bigfrancis21:

I tried registering for someone from online here but it didn't work. I guess registering via agents in Nigeria still suffices.

On the other hand you could take TOEFL.

How do I register for TOEFL?Am going for theology...

Hi Guys

please what chance does a person with a wife in the US that has a resident permit stand as far as student visa is concerned .

seunny4lif: How do I register for TOEFL?Am going for theology...

Pastor things ...to register for toefl, get a visa card (debit or credit) and register at ets.org/toefl

Yeah,pastor thing...I have apply already but I don't know how to paid the application fees cos I don't hav anyone in USA?

stevecrun: Joenice,i sent you a PM..you prolly choose to ignore it.

Sorry, please send it again. I guess i didn't receive it.

I never knew that visa interview was that open. All d pple that were interviewed before me where denied about 8 of them. But one common mistake was that when the VO asked about how they heard about the school, they all said through a friend, dad's friend and bla bla.
Suddenly my number popped up, I was shocked and scared, I couldn't move my legs.
I just happy sha.

Meanwhile that famous hotel @ obalande na wa o. Na so so asawo full d whole area. Lol.

Pls anyone with an idea of a cheap hotel in abj close to s the us embassy

Want to start to luk 4date, pls i nid d steps

You don't need to have one over there. If you have any atm that has visa logo on it, go to the bank and inform them you would like to use it for online transactions. They will activate it and you can then proceed with the registration.

Another method is you have a gt bank mastercard, activate it for online transactions at the bank, register with paypal, add your mastercard and verify your account.

Finally, some of our nairalanders can help out with the payment as well.

azeezbaba: @Bigfrancis,

Am I on point if I answer the following question like this?

VO: How did you know about the school?
Me: I made my research on the internet using USNEWS.COM, COLLEGEBOARD.ORG and the school's website after my friend who schools in North Carolina too told me about the school

My dear, leave your friend out of this. It is not an added advantage. If anything, it reduces your chances.

One thing I've learned is that visa interviews are not set in a stone. Some VOs myt see it as an immigration intent & not be convinced u are a not a genuine student especially if u are going to d state where she is a denizen. But with very good presentations and defense from u, u can disproof that. It all comes down to d reasons u give.

Hey gurus in the house... I have a very serious question that needs quick reply. in my i-20 they wrote "sponsor funds" now I want to use my mother's bank statement during d visa interview hope I won't have any problem.
