A MUST READ!!! - URGENT INPUT GUYS

Hello Nairalanders
Cc
@Chibertha, Moshkom, Ummzayd e.t.c

I’m back in the house again…I was away for about 4months scouting for interview appointments date (One of the most difficult processes) in getting a student’s visa. Fortunately, I was able to secure a date yesterday which is too close to my class start date

Please help me review this on how to structure what to tell the VO during my interview

[Here is the thing:

My Orientation Program date :- 13th August 2022 (Will definitely miss as I haven’t gone for interview yet)

Visa Interview Date :- 18th August, 2022

Class start date :- 22nd August, 2022 (Will miss as passport/visa will still be in process with embassy, which usually takes about 3 to 5 business days to process) – Worst case scenario 25th to 26th to receive before final arrival date.

The remarks section on my I-20 says this:

‘’Tuition, fees and insurance subject to change without notice. Tuition fees /expenses for 9 months(fall/spring). Missing international programming in mid-August could delay course registration. To maintain F-1 status, student must register and enroll full-time (Minimum 9 credit hours for graduate students). Must arrive before last day to schedule classes: August 30, 2022’’

Can visa officers use the close class start date and missing orientation as a yardstick to refuse a visa , irrespective of the fact that I have an extension in the remarks section above till the 30st to arrive?

Please what is the best statement/words to convince them to cover the missing orientation date and first week of class? . The school doesn’t have issues with my resumption after the 22nd of August, 2022 till the 30th.

Need your input guys …please, Ejowo oo, Don Allah, Biko. Thank y’all!

Question # 2
How do I change my intended travel date / tentative travel on DS-160 and update my appointment profile on CGI to reflect same? Please, note that I have already submitted my DS-160 (Reason: It was submitted cos I used it to apply for EA, which was eventually denied).
Any step-by-step guide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

1. It's not your fault you had a late interview date but it might affect your chance if you do not express yourself to the VO clearly. I will advise before your interview commence at all, make the VO aware that your school have no issue resuming late so he's already aware that your program start date shouldn't be a determining factor. It's a 50-50 thing though.

2. However, the best possible thing to do is to request that your school adjust your I-20 so it doesn't impact your chances of approval in case you are not okay with the first option. Also, request that a letter of extension or late resumption be issued you to enable you avoid problem at the point of entry. It is one thing to get the visa approved, it is another to enter US itself.

3. If I may ask, did you get your Interview date on Regular Search or EA search? Thank you!

Lot of people do experience this..I think they only send you mails(notify you) when your EA request is approved.

You may send follow-up mails but they don't reply.
