@imperiouxx, It came as a huge pleasant surprise to me. I think a scanned copy was sent to my school from wes, cos the email address of the records dept is on the transcript n i guess they replied immediatly

Ok supzy, that's great then.

Hello house, I went for my visa interview at abuja and was denied with no tangible reason but i think its because of the community college i applied to, My other guy who was going to wayne county community college was denied as well, My interview goes thus:

VO: Can i have ur docS?
Me: Passed it to him
Vo: Why do you want to go to the us
Me: I want to go to the usa to study
Vo: Why the US
Me: because UsA has one of the best educational systems in the world
VO: Why did usa have one of the best educational system in the world
Me: Educational analyst made us understand that and also USA have colleges and Universities which have standard educational programs compared to nigeria
VO: Why do you have 30 months on your I20 instead of 24months?
Me: Well the school gave me that, I think i will be doing a 6 months OPT
VO: how many units are you offering
Me: 18 unites per semester
VO: well im sorry you do not qualify for student visa.
Me: Thanked him and left his post

I want to apply to a new school, do i have any chance? Pls help me house

I think the Community school issue and also the fact that you mentioned 'I THINK' which means you are not sure and also mentioning 'OPT' personally i feel it indicates that you intend extending your stay. They expect you to return immediately after Ūя̲̅ completion of studies. Y dont you giv it anoda shot if that fails then check out anoda school. Also post Ūя̲̅ brodaz experience. Good luck bro.

@dannywest01 and omoshood65,

Sorry to hear this and I hope you guys know that being denied before doesn't mean you are denied for life. Patch up any loophole and try again. The guy with Community College can give university admission a trial. Best of Luck next time.

@deevick,

Got your offline mehn, the reason is that there are much doing in school these days ni o.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part2 by freeR1: 11:02am On Feb 28, 2012
@all @imperiouxx Do grants, weather GA, Scholarships or fellowship normally reflect on the I-20? Usually, admission decisions are made and I-20 issued before grants decision are made, will the school reissue a new I-20 should the grant be granted? For embassy purpose; will a letter from the school stating the grants and benefits be enough for the embassy, if the old I-20 has to be used for visa assuming no reissue. @imperiouxx kindly let us know how urs was, if it was stated on your I-20 and how your school went about theirs.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part2 by imperiouxx(m): 9:10pm On Feb 28, 2012
Yea, I think it depends on individual school. As for me, I applied for my GA shortly after I applied for the admission and I was told the admission decision and the GA position the same time but when my I-20 came the first time, GA wasn't stated on it. Though there was another mistake on the I-20, so I asked for correction and the new I-20 came carrying the GA and the amount that was waived from my tuition but I lost my fall 2011 resumption in the process  grin

Rowland, if they say scholarship is towards ones education, such can't be catch as cash. Probably, you can ask that it's paid toward your tuition since you have accommodation and feeding in place. I doubt if they will allow you to stay off campus, some do it sha.

@ Rowland, adding to imperiouxx. In some cases, you may be allowed to stay off campus, but I have a concern about you. Why would you want to cash on 50% scholarship when you should be asking how you could add the balance after consolidation of the other benefits. Pls dont portray yourself negatively.

Sure! what happens in most cases is that your school account is credited; for example if you pay your 50% balance of the tuition, you'll then be reimbursed with the excess that is meant for your upkeep. Also look at it from this perspective, what if the school asks you to fulfill your part before fulfilling theirs, hope you're prepared for this?

I think he was given an admission scholarship and such with be credited into his student account during enrolment.

Let your brother request for expedited interview if dates before his resumption aren't available.
