Travel / Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by hlabest: 10:51pm On Aug 04, 2021
Hello gurus in the house.
Please, I need advice on my Visa Interview date.
I scheduled my interview today 4th Agust, due to network issues with the visa fee payment site. The available interview date is 21st July, 2022. The earlier date I'm suppose arrive US is 8th August, but classes resumes 7th September. Can I gate an emergency date approved before the end of August?

Thank you for you response.

Observations:

On my DS 160, where it was asked if i had travelled before in the last 5years, I said No. During the interview, the VO asked if i have travelled before - He didnt mention 5yrs, so i said YES. This question was repeated twice and my response what yes. Travelled to SA and the rest of the story. I think maybe he felt i was lying. Could this be the reason?

My Background:
Age - 36yrs
work experience : 10yrs
Current role: Head, Customer experience
Monthly income: 800k plus
Marital status: Married
Bsc: Business Admin
Grad: 2.1
year of grad: 2009

Your interview looks good Bro. I guess you would have to take note of the observation and reaply.

I also got admitted into same school for same MBA program. I couldn't schedule an interview earlier due to network issues. I was able to book an appointment at Lagos consulate but the date I got is 21st July 2022. I want to apply for EA, praying to get an appointment date this August.
