Hello everyone, I was at the embassy this morning and I need to share my transcript eventhough I was placed on AP by the nice guy at Window10 or so...

I was the 5th person to be attended to, overall. While I was the first to be attended to by the guy VO, he also uses earpiece too (cause i noticed someone said one VO use earpiece). Before I continue, let me use this opportunity to encourage those who are waiting for their interviews. Please let us all appreciate the value of this thread. if not, lots of us would have lost it in interviews. And in additional, someone on this thread has shared/warned us about these tout people at the car park arena, they have nothing to offer u except collecting ur money for unnecessary document arrangement and photocopies.....U don't need it, anything u need to arrange would be announced by the people working for the embassy when you are on screening queue. These touts even rent chairs for people to sit at the rate of 200naira, a friend who was waiting for me alerted me.. Pls let's take note...

While on the queue, a fine lady came to separate us into two categories - Immigrant and Non-immigrant applicants.
She announced - Bring out ur passport, DS-160 confirmation page, Appointment, Your i-20, GTBank receipt and Your SEVIS FEE (To be on safer side bring along ur 2x2 photo passport u might need it "I didn't use mine though" all these are the things u need and the embassy workers will tell you how to arrange it or what to do...
Funny.... I was number 5 on queue and only 3 VOs are already on sit including our dear black aunty, mama blue paper at Window 7... Na so prayer start.. God u know i am in ur hand, give me not Window 7, i am black already let no blackwoman interview me here biko...

NefT:
Hello all! I am in the process of filling my DS160 form. I am open to any location for my visa interview. However, I would prefer Lagos and a date before 24th July using the expedite/quick appointment option if it will be possible because I am applying for the first time.
My question: must I click Lagos consulate in the drop down menu when starting a new ds160 and generating a code? I am asking because I am afraid that I might not be able to choose Abuja dates when booking appointment if I decided to opt for that location due to possibility of not getting my Lagos desired date.
If I were to book an appointment for Abuja, must I start with Abuja embassy from the beginning of the DS160 code generation or is it that the location you choose prior to checking for Available dates on the visa appointment page does not affect your ability to navigate the site and view available dates in Lagos consulate and Abuja embassy?
Thanks as I anticipate your timely response...

2nd INTERVIEW

29th June 2018
I got a new i20 with full scholarship this time from my school the next week, I applied again and got a date on the 29th of June.

I went to the embassy on the 29 of June i was placed on AP and asked just one question.

Vo: What has changed with your application?
Me: when I got denied I contacted the school to let them know, And then they changed my partial scholarship to Full scholarship covering all my needs. Also they gave me a letter signed by the headmaster explaining my circumstances and my new enrollment contract.
I hand It over to her, she types for a while..
Vo: I would hold on to these and get back to you.

I checked my status online today and saw refused. So so sad. What do I do? Please I need advice. School starts 29 July.

They suspect immigrant intent, bro. People who get accepted to Harvard with a full ride get denied for this reason. You have to prove that you have no immigrant intent; therefore, lay emphasis on the fact that you will return home after your studies.

Vo: How long have you been playing football?
Me: Since 2016
Me: I also took the standardized test, SSAT, and I got my enrolment contract.
VO: (didnt say anything)
VO: When are you supposed to graduate?

Me: Thank you

He didn't talk about the $38,730 financial aid offered to me by the college, with an outstanding $2,000 to be paid by my sponsor. Also didn't ask for the Bank statement of my sponsor. Lots of visa applications were denied on that day.

HELP! WHAT WENT WRONG.

FA13:


Thanks. I have contacted two (2) of them. Both responded saying almost the same thing. This is Michigan's reply to my enquiry:

Although you are a high achieving student, there were various conditions, out of your control, that unavoidably affected our admission decision. Regrettably, there was not a match between your experience/skills and our faculty's needs at this time. In addition, there was limited funding available for our faculty's research programs.

Rudy007:

A big thank you to everyone that posted their transcripts on this thread. #Cheers#

winterstorm:


It's most likely the fact that it's a high school and more on sports. However, your scholarship is kind of suspicious, how did you really get it and what did you do to get it changed on the I-20 so easily?

I hope no agent is involved in this.
