VIsa Denied Today Abuja Around 11am
Me and My Wife carrying our baby: Good afternoon Sir
VO: Have you travelled out before?

Me: You mean me or my Wife?

VO: Any of you

Me: No , but my Wife Yes.

VO to my Wife: Which country did you go to?

My Wife: United Kingdom

VO: While typing already not interested in our response from his face. What did you travel to do? At this point I had become unstable.

My wife: I went on a care Visit, I went to take care of my sick brother.

VO to me: Why did you choose University of Arkansas?

Me: I chose the University because the industrial engineering programs has a added concentration on Operations research and manufacturing which are my core areas of interest. Apart from being among the top ranked universities in the US( I sha chop mouth here)

VO: Where are you working now:

Me : I work as a specialist Engineer in my company name: I quickly brought out my reference letter to give him , he said don’t worry.

VO : what area of engineering do you work?

Me: Telecommunications

VO; Nodes his head? What will you be doing after your program:

Me: My company is currently expanding into a few Africa countries and we plan to build over 5,000 telecommunications towers for the 5G technology in Nigeria. I intend to lead a technical role and it opens more opportunities for me.

VO: nodes his head still typing

VO: who is sponsoring you?

Me: my brother in-law mr Xyz

VO: what does he do?

Me: he is so so so in so so bank. I brought out the documents but he didn’t want to see them

VO: Keeps typing and typing and typing while we watch. Then the rejection line with blue paper.

I sha feel I didn’t answer my question as I planned due to fear. Almost 6 people ahead of me were denied due to that first question of travel history.

Is Well make una respond

It’s important you don’t try to show the VO any document except you are asked to.

You made the mistake twice, by trying to forcibly make the VO see those documents, you are giving him a reason to doubt your story.

Also, your brother-in-law sponsoring your whole family doesn’t really sail.

Travel history is not a denial reason on it’s own.

My two cents.

The V.O. are trained to detect "JAPA mode in visa application".
Even if you want to Japa try to make it look legit.

You have not travelled out before and the first time you want to travel out it's usa, on a study sponsored by your brother-in- law.
My take.
1. You should have applied alone and use your family as home tie.
2. Your funding is suspicious your brother inlaw should have transferred the fund to you if it's genuine or get a loan.

I wish u best of luck next time. And thanks for sharing

Sorry for the denial Sir.

My 2cents:

How can your BROTHER IN-LAW be your sponsor? Even to ‘us’ here it ain’t sounding well.

Why can’t you act up and maybe be part of your own sponsor (even if it is small inside your COA).
I mean, you are going with your own family, “Wetin concern your in-law; him no get his own fam?”
“Him no fit sponsor, his sister; why YOU?”

and/or

ofc kindly change him (sponsor) to your uncle (direct relation) when ask next time (yeah, don’t change the name or SOA).

and/or

Check out all these loan organizations, Mpower and co.

And why can’t the F2 stay behind (for now) and apply after months of the F1 getting his own.


Goodluck boss!

Bosses in the house please help.

I got an emergency appointment in January but was denied, now my resumption on the new I-20 issued is April and almost 60 days to the new resumption.
My question now is, can I still apply for emergency appointment?

Thanks in anticipation of your response(s)

Doubuzofficial:




What if he says the Politician is his step dad?

Okay, even if the politician is the father, as long as he can state clearly why he will sponsor him, it's fine. So let me give one example.
A male student is going for a MSc program that cost $40,000 with no funding. Then he went to the embassy and the VO asked "who's your sponsor?" And he said, "my dad who's a politician is sponsoring". Then the VO says, "Why would he sponsor you?"
1. What will be your response if you are the student?
2. If the VO then ask for the statement of account, will the amount be able to fund the problem?


So it doesn't matter who's sponsoring as long as you can state clearly why the person will sponsor such a huge amount and the kind of job that will also fuel that amount.

Let's not be too harsh on people who don't give out full information while sharing their transcript.

Before you judge me, read this:

"I shared my whole details with a friend, trying to guide her through how I secured admission to a school, the professors I reached out to....., and i was back stabbed."

"The person went behind my back to contact my professor to take him instead of me. I almost lost the admission and my full funding because of this."

This is not a story. It happened late last year.
So, let's not be too harsh, let's respect the limit to which people want to share their details.

Thanks.

Hmmmmn. Na WA for people o. If na me, i go just left The friendship jejely. That kind of person can kill.

Good to finally join this bandwagon.

Just received my unofficial PhD admit from my proposed supervisor. I can't say how happy I am. Anyone here going to the University of Rhode Island?

Today I got a shocker from URI graduate school that my Msc does not meet the minimum graduate requirement of a 3.0. Hence, they will be overriding my supervisor and sending me a PhD rejection letter. After some back and forth, the graduate school's decision stands.

It is laughable because I am applying with a French grade of 14.3/20.
In all universities in Canada and the USA where international grade equivalencies is visible on their websites, a 14/20 grade is at least an A- or a 3.7. Even for WES and Scholaro, it is a perfect 4.0. I understand it is done course by course, but there is no way it will be less than a 3.0.

https://www.scholaro.com/grade-conversion/

My advice: once a school say credential evaluation is recommended. Please do it before applying. Only God knows what parameters was used for their own conversion. Maybe they don't understand French grades and just used a percentage or something because it is just funny to me.

It is the only school I applied to because I was sure of getting in after discussing with the supervisor.


Anyone with advice on schools for MSc Food Science for Spring intake that doesn't require GRE or IELTS? I don't think I'll apply for PhD again after being told to expect spending 6 years.

Good evening everyone
Please Is it possible for someone applying now for fall 22 to get funding ?

Osidowu:


Yes, it's possible just be smart about it at the embassy.

Thank you so much but please can you explain this further? T

I am also having this problem, please can anybody help?

slimmy2005:
Please, a friend is unable to get his visa renewed through Dropbox feature. Anytime he gets to where he needs to validate his visa fee, it tell him no appointments available and if he clicks continue it goes back to the beginning.

This is for visiting visa. Thank you. I can’t seem to find the us visitor visa thread

phoyeks:

HI, You are good to go with your 2yrs valid Passport. You can always get it renewed in a Nigerian embassy closest to your
state of study in the U.S. Alternatively, you can also get it renewed in Nigeria if you do come to visit before its expiration.
Congratulations!

Hello,

Please I need your advice. I have a similar issue. My own passport expires February 2023 and is it possible I go to the embassy with it around April/May?

welbeck1999:

Yes you can if it’s April/May 2022 you want to attend your visa interview. When you get to US you can renew it.

I doubt it’s a perfect 4.0.

Why don’t you send your transcript to WES for evaluation? Transcript are evaluated course by course and not overall grade.

Your masters grade is not so good. Looks more like a B-

Good evening everyone

nothing is impossible. Once you get admission, you can still get funding. School is still in session as we speak and they are not giving out funding yet.

Most schools have open GA you can apply for in as much as you already have admission

Thanks in anticipation of your response(s)

you cannot get another emergency appointment. You would have to wait for an open date.

Please, has anyone applied for the Dropbox?

Do reapply for a new EA.

Mine was denied in Lagos, I then switched to Abuja and viola, it was approved.

But do note that once you reapply, you’ve exhausted your EA, to get another, you’d need to pay another Visa fee.

Cheers!

Can someone CC me in the US Visit visa thread please.

Thank you

Becky42:

I have done the unofficial one with WES and it falls at a 3.6.

I mean, if you can see the image I posted and still make a conclusion that it is likely a B-, it shows more reason for me to have the WES evaluation done. People unused to European grades might just make fallacious conclusions based on the grading system and numbers.

And BTW, for Oxford University, a 14.5/20 is their equivalence of a First class.

By the unofficial you mentioned, do you mean the free calculator on the website? Or you paid 200+$?

Hi bosses in the house, kudos for the good job and timely responses on here, please I would like to know how long it takes cgi to approve an emergency appointment. I paid my Seviz and uploaded all relevant docs on 15/2/2022, my program starts 16/5/22…but I have to be there a month before. I know there is still time, but I am just curious

IntrovertGuy:

I used the calculator. But now, I want to begin the process of paying the 208.

Good day gurus in the house. please I have been struggling to register a username at ustraveldocs since two days ago but each time I tried it kept giving me 'error that the site administrator has been alerted' pls could anyone give me a clue on how to register. Thanks
