shoggie: Glory be to God in the highest place. I was denied an F1 Visa today. I was happy atleast that I fought a good fight of faith up till now after four sucessive rescheduling of my Visa interview since the first time I booked my interview in November.
My second appreciation goes to everyone on this blog who has been contributing immensely for intended aspirants. My special unmitigated enthusiasm goes to imperiouxx, nairaspace, walex, Yvete, mammacita etc for their PAINSTAKING effort on everybody from my day one on this blog. I am dauntless & not in anyway pessimistic. But to aspirants & the gurus, it is another time to learn from each other. Here goes my Interview at 10:45, Abuja: VO : Good morning ( he denied every living person I witnessed except one husband & wife that came for renewal) Me : Good morning Sir ( I grinned as usualto cool tempo) VO : Pass me your documents VO : Sorry, please give some minutes I will be back in a moment. Me : Calm, waited for like two minutes not even thinking about anything. Vo : hello, how did you learn about the school? Me : I dowloaded the best 200 universities based on US News report on university ranking & I used internet to search for those that suite my profile. VO : Nodded VO : So you are going for Masters in Bleep course. Me : Yes VO : So you what will Bleep course do for you. Me : I love lecturing, I worked hard to graduate as the best students from my department because I wil like to work as a lecurer in any of our best universities & will also like to work as a research consultant to some of our research institutes since most of them are affiliated to our National universities. VO : Nodded VO : Pass me your statement of Accounts Me : Passed VO : He glanced through each page & Keep murmuriing sth about $77,000 on my I-20 which was the money I submitted to my school before my I-20 was issued.(possibly he mistaken it for $36, 400 for tution fee on my I-20 as well) Me : I stayed calm, confidence & a bit indifference since I have 18million plus on the statement of account VO : Is it only the family type who is sponsoring your study. He asked sth on this twice Me : Yes, My brother. He failed to ask about what he does. I was waiting for him to ask me about what he does but he failed to do so. VO : Have you travelled outside Nigeria before Me : No VO : Continuing typing & suddenly said your Visa is denied because your family type shows insufficient fund & that I may reapply at any time. Me : Thank you Sir. Am happy for one singular reason, I did not lose courage & not too bothered about whether he was going to approve or deny. Observation : The other lady in window 6 issued almost everybody (9:1 if not 100%), even those going to community colleges, infact, she approved two guys who have graduated since 2006, No SAT or TOEFL but one kind diploma certificates.She was just too happy that we all of us knew that whosoever fortunate to meet her has already got his/her Visa approved. I had so much time to count the number of applicants'passport on his desk who he has granted Visa,around ten but less than 15 since morning oh!Throughout my time there, he did not issued anybody visa except the couple who came for renewal. Those going to Abuja, pray against window 7 guy, he is a saddist, too reluctant to issued Visa as if we were goig to US to steal his hard earning dollars. The bolded might have changed his mind to approve your visa. Thing is, when they start typing, they are typing the reason why you can't be issued already, even before they officially verbally tell you that you have been denied. He just used that question to buttress his point on their database for the reason he denied you, and having no travel experience was part of it, so the next VO to interview you, will know what and what to look out for and ask. The assistant consular general of the US embassy in Nigeria, said the same thing in a media chat late last year that most Nigerians are denied solely based on the fact that they don't have any travel experience. Wait a while before re-applying ..possibly a year or two.. make your circumstances change, try to travel to a country during that period, SA, UAE or UK.. blah blah..and re-apply, you will definitely be issued, except you bleep it up yourself again. |

Ignorance is a disease, my friend #2Reasons: Why Nigerians get their visa applications denied – US Consulate
The United States Consulate on Tuesday said the reason many visa applicants get their applications rejected is because they are yet to visit other countries.
The vice-consul, US Consulate, Christopher Richardson said this while speaking at a program tagged, ‘American Visa Regime: the role of lawyers’ organised by the Immigration Lawyers Forum (ILF) in Lagos.
“The majority of the visa applicants prefer the US as their first outing. This creates doubt, especially when the applicant has not visited any other countries before,” he said.
Richardson also said applicants were also rejected visas because of the kind of answers they give to test questions during interviews.
He reportedly said, “When a question, such as ‘do you have a relation in the US?’ Most often, they are quick to say ‘yes’, which of course, is in order.
“Such an answer creates doubt that since the person has a relation, there is every tendency that the person may not want to come back. So visas can be rejected on that ground.”
Titus Ajijola, the ILAF chairman said the seminar was designed to enhance the protection of migrant rights.
“Key strategies of the project are awareness raising, knowledge and skills improvement on the rules, as well as rights and obligations of migrants to encourage respect for the rights of migrants,” he said.
He said ILAF was designed to educate the general public on immigration matters.

What they advised or said isn't what they practice in the embassy or might be a bit way off. I've never traveled out of Nigeria when I got denied and 13 days after still never left Nigeria and I got it approved. My approval might even be too old, someone in Dec 2012 got his approved after first denial within 10 days.

It took him 4 months, but he did. Anyway, my advice to any applicant is, to increase your chances, do not re-apply immediately you are denied. |

It is not ABSOLUTE and there are no fast rules..only that there are some factors that INCREASES YOUR CHANCES. Simple. We know somethings are good prognosis and others are bad prognosis for getting a visa. For instance, presenting a bank statement of another person who is not a relative is bad prognosis, and same also applies to the fact that you have not travelled to other countries like the vice consular officer mentioned. You think the recent applicant that just got denied above was asked that question about if he had travelled to other countries before, for just asking sake and it didnt matter? |

I tell people always that F-1 Visa is different from all other categories of Visa. Who cares about your travel experience? Putting GOD first, getting into a very good university and preparing so hard for the interview is the key. I hope you all can remember part 1 of this thread when the likes of Djunit, Bomny and OjaP got their visa within first week of denial even without travel experience. I could vividly remember that OjaP was denied on a wednesday and went for another interview on Monday (2business days after)and got the Visa.
Bomny and Djunit got it within a week too.

Thanks man, really appreciate it. Seriously, the BS and B.Eng wahala in Nigeria is making me look for B.ENG ONLY. Whether B.Eng, B.Tech or BSc in Engr, except nominally, there's absolutely no difference, even in Nigeria. About looking for what to do here, you will be doing yourself a disfavor by looking for the degree names or name of programs only. The important thing to do is to look at the courses being offered and current active research areas in the department. How well these match your career aspirations should now be an index, among others, on your scale of school/program preference. |

Just to add to zerocool's comments ...
Note that the excerpt from the consulate was on all visa categories and I think, if at all travel experience were to matter, it would be for visiting and other visa categories but not student.
They issue F1 visas as long as they are convinced in their own world that the applicant is a genuine student. |

You just made the first step towards your US study goal. Thumbs up. Now, there are other factors you'll have to consider to successfully narrow down your list. 1) Good quality of the school's academic program. 2) Low/average tuition cost + fees of the school. Make sure it is within the range you can comfortably afford, just in case you don't receive any form of financial aid in the end. 3) High chances of obtaining financial awards/partial or full scholarship from the school. 4) Cost of living in the state the school is located in. This is important. South western US states + Texas are very affordable to live in. 5) And the last but not the least, the weather conditions of the state! Aha! You never imagined that would be important. It sure is. The house can add to the list more factors that I may not have added. Try applying to at least 3/4 schools that satisfy these factors. Success in your academic endeavors. 1 Like |
