Not hard.

I applied for a visiting visa alongside my family in December 2022. Got appointment date for January 6, 2023. VISA APPROVED with no document requested. Grace followed me sha. I’m on a student visa in the Uk. Though I’ve finished studying but my BRP is still valid. For another 2months.

Go to the US site. Apply and include a genuine purpose for travelling. Get a date for appointment and get in touch. I might help

Hello Hadigun, I would like to get in touch with you on this process.

Hello everyone. Please has anyone used IQAS for LLB’s degree or any degree evaluation especially for OAU. I am trying to apply but it stated that OAU has conditional status and my degree may not be assessed. I really want to use IQAS . PLEASE HELP ME

JohnZak:
I normally don’t engage in back-and-forth conversations like this because it is generally not productive but I will make an exception just once in this case. The post that you incorrectly attribute to @prinxly and that you seem to largely agree with is my post from above which prinxly reposted (which btw, I have no issues with the repost) that is why I am responding

The problem is that you usually start off making absolute statements (which are usually false) and when you are in a jam, you try to wriggle yourself out by creating exceptions. In your response to MizAlero you tell her to “Go and renew your visa in Nigeria because that’s the rules of the visa, go back to the issuing country.” There is no rule like this. A rule is absolute i.e., all violations come with consequences. The renewal applicant can go back to Nigeria if they want but this is not a rule. As many people have stated including welf99, NEULASA etc, you can renew your F1 visa in Canada or Mexico without issues.

No VO will deny your F1 renewal solely because you are a third country national (TCN) in Canada or Mexico just like no VO in Nigeria will approve your F1 renewal solely because you are renewing in Nigeria. VOs know TCNs come for renewals all the time. I renewed once in Ottawa and the person who checked me in affixed a small sticker with the words “TCN” on my passport. I did not have the same TCN sticker experience in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto or Tijuana. VOs know TCNs come all the time for renewals - F1, J1, L1, O1, and H1b renewals all the time. This is not a secret.

Nobody mentioned an F1 renewal is automatic in Canada or Mexico. In my original post, I clearly state that “Although the chances of a renewal are high and the Consular Officers appear nice (definitely way nicer than in Nigeria), this is still an interview so be prepared.”
Visa approvals are never automatic. Even as a naturalized American citizen, I never assume visa applications are automatically approved because of my American passport.

Finally, whatever will cause your F1 renewal to be denied in Canada or Mexico will also cause your renewal application to be denied in Nigeria so I am not sure what your point is. The Consular Consolidated Database that the VO in Canada or Mexico has access to is the same database that the VO in Nigeria can access. I reiterate, No VO will deny your F1 renewal solely because you are a third country national (TCN) in Canada or Mexico just like no VO in Nigeria will approve your F1 renewal solely because you are renewing in Nigeria.

Hello John I sent you an email

Hello Everyone,
Please for those who had date in Abuja that was canceled last month, what is the way forward now?
Have you gotten any message from the Embassy?

STTITUS:
I did. I received a mail that my appointment initially stated to be held in November at the US embassy in Abuja is canceled. Another person reported a similar case.

Oh alright then. Hopefully you hear from them soon.

Hello All,
Did anyone get a notification on cancellation of Visa interview date?

A friend of mine had his interview scheduled for next week but he just got a mail saying the interview has been canceled and he’ll hear from them soon.

Allegory:

No it doesn’t at all, as long as you are truthful about the denials.

Wow, thank you so much!

Hey guys,
Does US visa denial affect Canada PR application?.

I am currently in the US and I was thinking of applying as Primary applicant. I got my US visa once but my husband has been denied like three times. Although we have the same qualifications , he is more likely to obtain his reference letter from his office than I am( I had to resign cus I had serious issues with the office).

Now I’m thinking my husband can be the primary applicant while I as dependent also do my ECA and IELTS for extra points.

Will his previous US visa denials affect this PR application process? PLEASE I NEED YOUR KIND ADVICE. Thank you.

Yellowmellow:
Hi people! I got PPR!!!!
Still very surreal.
It all started here so I figured I send my good news here too.
I’d like to start by thanking God for everything He’s done for me to make this possible cz it wasn’t easy really

I first registered for BCS in January of 2020.
Exams were in March. Results came out in August. Thanks to Covid
I wrote ielts June 25th, 2020. Listening 9 and 7.5 across.
Can’t remember when I started my evaluation with Wes but I had to do it twice. One for my bsc and the other for my BCS after I got my certificate
Wes evaluation was ready in September 2020
Entered the pool same September 2020
Tie breaker affected me once in October and i was soooo heartbroken.

Finally got ITA on 25th November, 2020. It was an unexpected ita cz a lot of people including me didn’t expect a draw that day.
Did medical and pcc on 21st Dec, 2020.
Started trying to gather all my documents. God really came through for me here in ways I couldn’t believe it. My mom really came through for me as well as good friends i met along the way and I can’t thank them enough.
Finally submitted my documents Feb 10th 2021
Got BIL 18th Feb 2021
Did my biometrics 10th March
After biometrics, the long wait started.

Ordered for notes in August. Only security abi info shared was complete.
I continued my life while trying to forget ircc but it was very tough honestly. I felt stagnant a lot of the time. This wait is not for umu aka sha.

Finally exactly one year after I submitted, I got adr.
Adr was for proof of income, proof of funds and remed.
I submitted the other documents on February 21st, 2022
Booked medicals with qlife and they gave me March 4th
Decided to go with it even though the date was quite far because I really liked how organised they were the first time I was there and they didn’t disappoint this second time too
Medical was passed on March 13th

Ircc ignored me again. For some reason this particular wait was harder than the first mostly because every single person I met on this journey and became friends with had gotten PPR lol. I felt dejected and forgotten.

May 19th, 2022 I got another adr. I thought it was ppr at first. Sike!
The adr was for PCC, Schedule A and conformation of nature of company’s business ( this one fear me o I no go lie)
Gathered my documents and sent in on May 24th,2022

Then on June 7th, the beautiful day our Lord made, I checked my mail in the morning as usual and saw a mail from ircc. My heart skipped a bit and I rushed to check my account.
Lo and behold my ppr was sitting pretty.

I can’t thank God enough.
My watch has finally ended.
I return all the glory to Him.

Congratulations!!!!

Dimple10:
use IQAS, their evaluation is more favourable (masters/professional degree)meaning more points.

Thank you

nymphomaniac:
if you have the money, why not just evaluate the LLB like I earlier advised and save yourself stress?

Alright will do just that, thank you

Hello everyone,
I just remembered I did WES evaluation last year but for a US school. My LLb was evaluated as bachelors degree but my law school was evaluated as a one year professional degree. I just messaged them to see if I can transfer to Canada. I would like to ask can I eventually combine the two as 2 degrees? Or I should just start all over with IQAS?
Thank you.

nymphomaniac:
just your LLB is fine. No need to bother with your law school result. Your LLB will be evaluated by IQAS as a masters degree

Thank you

Thank you

Anavamii:
Hello guys,
Please is there any lawyer in the house or someone with experience. I want to evaluate my degree with IQAS. Would I be sending both my LLB and BL. I mean do I need to evaluate law school result? Or is it the degree from university they assess as a professional degree. Thank you as you help a sister o before person waste money�

I would also like to ask can I also evaluate my law school transcripts with IQAS and register that as a post graduate certificate or 2nd degree?

Hi guys, wrote my celpip on Saturday at Dragnet vi results came out yesterday lsrw 11,11,12,9. A nice alternative to the almighty ielts. You can buzz me for materials or tips.

Hi, I just sent you a mail. I heard this exam is way easier than Ielts too.

nymphomaniac:
don’t lie in your application process. I wonder why your husband lied for his VISA Application. It will have to be stated in your EE profile I guess.

Thank you

Thank you so much.

Hello

Hello guys,

Please i need help for a friend. She's a lawyer and has been denied visa twice. She is going for her 3rd attempt however a lot has changed. For her first and second interview, she was going for masters in public admin in one school with no funding, now for the 3rd attempt she is going for a law program(llm) in another school, this tiime she got partial scholarship.

The reason she changed her school is the first school does not offer LLM and she did not get any funding. She changed her course because she said her second interview went well but the VO kept asking why a lawyer will go for public administration?

Please when asked what has changed or why the change of school and course, what can she say?

Hello everyone, please I have a dew questions.

If I pay my MRV fees now, does it have an expiration period?
Also on the CGI portal what errors is one allowed to change?

Lastly is it possible to transfer my Sevis fees to another school's code, I intend to change my school. Thank you.

Good evening everyone,
Please a friend of mine was not granted visa twice last month, he is a lawyer and going for an MPA program without funding.
He just got admitted to another school for LLM fall 2022 with funding. To cover the deficit, he has to upload his Mum’s statement of account. The issue now is can he upload the statement he used this year? The statement is from April 2021 to October 2021. Will he also be able to take the same statement to the embassy for his interview next year. Thank you

Hello everyone, please is there any lady here who is resuming for Spring at Springfield Illinois, has the visa already and won’t mind staying off campus? I’m looking for a roommate to arrange for off campus accommodation with.

ABUJA

White VO
COA: $24,000

There were 2 VO's counter 8 and counter 9, the Asian guy and the other white guy i noticed the Asian guy first question was always have you travelled out of Nigeria before, once your answer is No, he asks any random question and rejects. I was praying from the gate till I met with my VO
The Asian guy called next it was supposed to be me but i dragged for like 5 seconds and the other white guy called next then i went to meet him.

TRANSCRIPT.
VO: Good Morning
ME: Good Morning
VO: You are going to study Engineering
ME: NO I'm going to study industrial and human factor Engineering.
VO: Okay
VO: So you are an Engineer
ME: Yes I am
VO: I see you have a scholarship how do you intend to cover the rest
ME: Ooh I have a 70% scholarship on my tuition, my aunt would be covering the rest ( praying in my mind that he doesn't know enough mathematics to calculate by looking)
VO: What does your aunt do
ME: Oooh she is a distributor for dangote cement
ME: I have her bank statement if you would like to view it
VO: That won't be necessary
VO: So what would this degree do for you
ME: Oooh my Company is going through a transition phase where we are moving from a crude oil based approach to a gas and renewable energy approach this transition is opening up positions for mid-level management with my experience and this degree i would be positioned to fill one of these openings.
VO: Okay
VO: Keeps typing picks up the white paper and gives me says this white paper would tell you all you need to know about picking up your passport
ME: Thank you very much.

P.S i noticed that a lot of guys dress poorly, if you are going for academics and you claim to have been working please dress the path dry-clean your clothes and look smart also make your stories as short as possible my interview was about 2minutes /b] [b]and pray non-stop God bless everyone

Congratulations

Lilbaby23:




Pls has your fiancé gotten date yet?. I don't want to use the Emergency Request because i have never been approved before. It so sad. A particular form was made useless as i exhausted the Er and couldn’t reschedule. I bought a new form last week and i have been unable to get closer dates. Was denied in August and school resumes in January 6th.


Pls can you share me a format of what you wrote as your reason for travelling . Maybe I’m doing something wrong�

At all, he has not gotten date

Timotte:


No! You'll need to also attach your SEVIS fee payment receipt.

Yes actually. I applied for my Emergency request in Abuja with only my visa fee payment and it was approved. I only paid Sevis a week to my appointment

It seems as though people have not been getting dates for interview or people have not been going for interviews. The transcripts here keep reducing by the day. I have referred many people to this thread because this helped me but it seems the materials are reducing sadly.

itoski:

Please I want to confirm if there was a certain remark pm your I-20 because it was stated in mine I have to complete the Prerequisite courses then another I-20 will be issued.

Nothing like that o

Hello guys, Please I want to make travel arrangements to Springfield for January. Which flight is advisable to get now? How can my life be easier. Please help me�
