Go to your appointment login page, click on emergency request.
You will need to provide evidence of sevis payment.
The earliest date available for emergency as at 2minutes ago when I checked is 4th of January 2021.

Goodluck.

Stevenssen:

most likely you left it unsubmitted for more than 30 days and the system deleted it automatically.
Create a new ds160 and update your appointment profile with the new number, then print a new appointment confirmation slip.

Remember to fill and submit this one this time.

NBA legend Kobe Bryant has died in a helicopter crash aged just 41.

According to TMZ, the LA Lakers icon was travelling with three others in a private aircraft when it came down in Calabasas near LA, California, US.


It is understood up to FIVE people have died in the crash, with nobody on board surviving.

An investigation into the incident – which happened on Sunday morning – is underway.


According to reports, the helicopter went up in a ball of fire after hitting the ground.

He is survived by his wife Vanessa and their three daughters, who are thought to have not been on board.

Hello Ferdinand,
I feel your plight. Understand that there would be several opinions on what you did wrong etc.
Personally, I don’t think you violated your visa and you were well within the limits of your visa. I think it’s unfortunate that getting a visa from Nigeria currently is tough.
I’m just wondering whether or not your previous electives were paid electives or unpaid. Going forward, I think you a get paid elective which isn’t hard to get before applying.
I would also suggest applying from Caribbean as your chances might be better there.
Lastly, I wish you success in your future application and completion of your studies. It’s a great career and you’ll enjoy it.

Bluefin:


Hi,

Correct me if I’m wrong. First I think if you are applying for a visit visa, then this is a wrong visa category. You should consider applying for H3 or J1 since you already have the internship offer from your employer.

Going to the Caribbean will not fix this situation since your residency there is not relevant. You are no longer taking classes in the school so what is the residency for?

UhnNah:
Wow! You seems not to understand the reason why you were denied twice! you applied for your first visa saying you were going to visit an uncle or so (I don't remember the story,but it has to do with family) correct? Then you proceeded and used that issued visa for your clinical rotation! That is an abuse of visa,The lady from your first interview clearly told you this is why she's denying you!

AfonjaBoston:


To be honest, I actually don't feel sorry for you at all. Oyinbos no dey use sentiments chop burger.

You are reaping the benefits of "abusing" the terms of your first visa.
Unfortunately your denial came when you are almost done but that is life.
You go dey alright last last

Best of luck

vo: what is his highest level of education

vo; your mum

vo: Mr .........(read my full names).I regret to inform you that I wont be granting your visa today (hands over green paper)
me: Thank you
(I actually felt like a human being even though i was denied,unlike my first interview where I felt denigrated after the lady was yelling and kicked me out after just one question)


I applied 2 weeks after my first denial. I am thinking of giving it a third shot in Nigeria again (This time to take one of the standardized exams required for my graduation,it can only be taken in the USA and to also conclude my rotations so I can graduate with my mates in April).On the other hand, I am thinking of applying from the caribbean Island where my school is.However, I have heard different things:

1. How can i proof home ties to that island, wouldnt it make more sense to show home ties to your country of origin
2. The bank statements of my parents would be from Nigeria and europe, isnt it easier for the consul in nigeria to verify nigerian bank statements rather than a third party country.
3.I had a resident permit for the caribbean island from 2015-late 2017 but since i started rotations and never had to return to the island,i didnt bother renewing it.Now I m planning of applying for a fresh resident permit,wouldnt they think its so early applying for a visa after getting a permit

AngelicBeing:
Very unfortunate situation but if I am in your shoes, I will not apply again from Nigeria, l will find my way back to the Reggae island ( Carribean island were you did your medical school, since you were a former resident of the island, it might be pretty easy for you to qualify for another residence permits.

Once you arrive back to the island, find out more from an attorney to assist you re- apply for a residence permits, once you get the permits, you can give the US embassy another shot from there.

However, I know the VO in the Reggae island will have access to your file and the minutes on them by the VO's in Nigeria, but who knows motherluck might be with you if you are able to re-explain yourself again to another VO not in Nigeria because Nigeria seems to be on the black radar screen of VO's of recent based on several factors in the past and they are using koboko laden with chilly pepper to flog people as they like.

Lastly, your bank statements ( both Nigeria and Europe) will not be a big issue with them, they have ways of knowing / finding out if they suspect dagbo on any bank statement ( highest will be administrative review to enable them conduct further forensic investigations on both bank accounts) Nawao to be called a Nigerian in 2019 seems to be a plague

Spanishmilf:
I'm suspecting because of the clinical rotation you did

seyewest:


Same here but wish he will follow due process next time.

Spanishmilf:
Have you gotten a date? ? If yes what d earliest? ? If No give me update about the date thanks

wuki:


Yep, if I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t have come back home to reapply in Nigeria especially if you’re able to secure an earlier interview date in the islands. Back when I was on H1B visa, I flew from the States to the Bahamas for my visa interview. Lasted only 2 minutes and wasn’t as stressful. I’ve had few clients apply in next-door countries like Canada and Mexico with similar experiences. So if going to the islands is an option, I’d encourage that. Otherwise, try emergency appointment in Nigeria — with ample reasoning. Good luck

seyewest:


And state your own story in reason why they denied you visa section, your explanation will be noted.

TWoods:


go apply from the Caribbean islands.

Spanishmilf:
thought u said u were born in EU why can't u apply in your birth country??

groovychik:
Hello Ferdinand. Just a tip that a friend swears by. As you reapply, take charge of your interview. You are neither a thief nor a flight risk. At the start of your interview forget the good morning, no one cares how anyone's morning is, start by telling the VO that you would really appreciate if he/she gives you the opportunity to be heard. Point out you travelled to see your sister before you passed the exam, thus used for the initial purpose. Then take it from there.

OmoBendel24:


Sorry, what was your first visit on that visa about majorly? And the application that got refused now, what was the main reason for wanting it as declared by you to the VO?

wuki:


Make sure to bring all the documentation supporting your argument. Your next interviewer may be more receptive to what you have to say.

P.S: I understand you were likely going back and forth because you didn’t want to run the risk of overstaying. A workaround to this is you could have filed for an extension of status using form I-539, supporting documents and fee payment while still in the States.

wuki:


This only applies if you’re not receiving any form of compensation/remuneration. That said, it will be hard to prove your case to the V.O that your original visa was intended for tourist purposes only. Except if you are implying that you had no interest in medical rotation prior to trip and only after you got to the States did you become interested. No harm in reapplying as long as you can convincingly argue that you did not *intend* to abuse your tourist visa. That’s what your VO was more interested in establishing — and likely your next interviewer too. Good luck.

Spanishmilf:
just googled it now it legal.... I don't know why d VO denied u
Are u planning to reapply

wuki:


Sorry to hear. In nutshell, what the V.O is saying is that you abused your tourist visa (whether or not you intended to do so when you applied.) What visa category are you now applying for? Most candidates I’ve worked with in this category usually apply for J-visa unless if the clinical is OBSERVATION ONLY. Make sure to check with your DSO for the correct visa category.
