lol





Name Change lipsrsealed I hate that thing!!!




Sir Shoggie, First of all, make sure you remember details you filled on your DS160. Try am make sure there is no conflicting lipsrsealed. concerning your brother as sponsor, i would advice, stick to that and to have his statement topped up, email me at nairaspace at yahoo.com

To all that was refused and incase you dont know. If you want to fill your ds160 with the same information you filled at the first interview, retrieve your submitted form by the following steps.

get to DS160 page, select the location and click retrieve application.

put in your old application ID and select continue, answer your normal security questions and continue, it will notify you that you already submitted, either print the confirmation page or start a new application.

Select start a new application. this time it will ask you to create a new security question and it will bring your old ds160 data on a new DS160 application id.


Then you can input this new application id when booking for another appointment.

Hope that helps,

@Shoggie, dont forget to email me.


Bro. check your inbox for shoggie.

Sorry Fø̲̣̣я̅ the denial my sister. You gave away yourself by giving more information than was necessary. When he asked you if you knew anybody at Texas (he was trying † analyze your ties † the US/your immigration intent), your answer should have been simply 'no'. Also, when he asked you whether you applied † any university in Nigeria, you would have told him 'yes' ø̲̣̣я̅ 'no'. At this point you gave yourself away by mentioning the other school in texas which was not necessary for the question asked in the first place.
And, mentioning the second school in Texas got the VO thinking that you are desperate † join a family member of yours in Texas(which signalled immigration intent † him again!). Even though they know that many F1 students rarely return, at the interview, still, make efforts † prove you don't have the intent (even though you do).
I hope you do learn and prepare yourself better next time. Success!

I will like to emphatically stress this salient important point. DO NOT EVER MENTION IT TO VO that you apply to two schools in the same states even if you do so. It will definitely raise a RED FLAG and if you do so, that is the end of the whole Interview. Those VO's are not nice and will see you as a potential immigrant. Remember, there are 50 states in US. Infact, someone stated a similar remarks made by VO about his interview in one of the recent posts. Seaech for it to catch the picture to avoid similar occurence in near future.

U still don't get it , why he (vo) shook his head was dt it didn't mk any sense to him why u will hv someone in new York and yet apply to 2 schools in Texas .. And thr is nothing about risk going to a any of the states cz I'm sure 75% of people dt travel do not hv anyone in d states they r going to..
Lesson u should learn: don't give urself away by giving too many info dt will mk it seem like ure migrating..

I'm going 2 Texas for xmas next week friday and I'll go to school from there. If u want, I can help u mail ur documents to apply to a uni there. As it is, community college is not always favorable for visa interviews. Its like ur confused.

Mystiqme: So I have been on this thread since 2010 and I have been following up throughout my GRE and TOEFL process, through my application process and through my spring rejects but I finally had my interview last Friday and this is how it went down.
It was pretty short (about 3 mins) as I told God I wanted the previous day and out of my over 20 documents, only 2 were requested by the VO.
I was at the Lagos embassy and about 4 VOs were interviewing:the African-American on Counter 1,one white guy on 2,one elderly guy on 3, and one other guy on the last counter.
The guy on C2 refused all the women that came for visiting(Did he think they were pregnant undecided). Anyway my token number was 174 and when i saw 173 on C2, I don dey fear but I don dey prepare my mind for a difficult interview even though I was sure I would make it.Suddenly C1 flashed 174 and I walked up to him on jelly legs. It seemed I had forgotten everything I had rehearsed. Anyway....
The Interview
Me: Good morning
VO: Pass your documents, please.
Me: I passed them. He scrutinized them and at the same time was looking at my face. Maybe he dey look this small boi wey dey go do PhD.
VO: Did you take the GRE?
Me: Yes I took it (I passed him my scores).
VO: Do you have your transcript?
Me: Yes, I do. I pass am.
VO: Looked at my transcript and asked 'What is ecology?' I guess this question came up because I studied Botany and I am going for a PhD in Ecology.
Me: I don already dey blow answer afterall na my turf na, but he stopped me and asked:
VO: What is the difference between Botany and Ecology?
Me: Botany is basically the study of plants while Ecology is the study of plants in their environment..both biotic and abiotic. Short like that, I no sabi talk too much wink
VO: So what will this degree do for you?
Me: Well, I already work here as a ...... so it will enable me get promoted more rapidly in my place of work.
As I was answering the last question He was already tearing the green ticket.
VO: Alright, I am granting you your Visa, go and collect it on Wednesday at Ikeja.
Me: In a small voice..thank you. I was trying to hide a smile but I was not successful. grin
All the best guys, I will try to be available to answer any questions. Cheers!

Sure, many schools will ask you for a phone interview rather than campus visiting interview, so by that internationals can be given opportunities. I have a colleague who was interviewed on phone and he is doing his PhD in Pharmacology in South Florida. Some like University of Washington will invite you on campus for interview with traveling expenses within the US paid, that means their PhD is mainly for those in the US. Since you will be applying from Nigeria, be expecting phone interview.

They always like people to get a return ticket.Why? They are trying to enforce this because immigration law says if someone is rejected at the port of entry, the airline must bear the cost of returning the person back to where he boarded. This has caused a great loss for airlines. Cos, many Africans are returned at the port of entry may be due to some illegal stuffs (fake visa,drugs fake docs and co).Airline bear the cost before POE, the Government bear the deportation cost after POE.

Just try and book for one way. Cos, return is a waste unless u plan to go Naija in less than 1yr. If they don't allow in their office, use agent.In their office, they will tell u that station manager will not allow u to fly. Forget that, no one can stop u from flying.
