Congrats bro, What is your GPA in naija?

SweetSureboy:
Hi guys, my interview is in a week's time but my passport validity will only be about 5 months by then. Although, I have initiated a renewal of my passport. Would my 5months validity passport be an issue at the interview?

Thanks for your help!

Yes it would. It is stated that your passport must have at least 6months validity as at the time of your interview.

[quote author=Francangel post=100959267]Hi Eboni, I did!

Am trying to reply your email but it seems my network is bad..

Thank you beautiful sister.

You’re welcome

Please I made a mistake on my visa profile. I used only my first name and surname, and didn't include my middle name (as shown on my international passport and DS-160). I also noticed I can't change the names on the profile page once entered.

Is there any issue with this? And is there a possible means to get it corrected?

Good day all.

Is there anyone who applied to Eastern Tennessee State University or is currently schooling there? Kindly indicate . Thanks

Guys may 6 is currently available in lagos

May 6 is opened

Guys, I just got admitted to Stevens Institute of Technology, NJ.

I’m asked to pay a $500 non refundable deposit to secure my seat and admission

They said this deposit will be added to my tuition fee

My problem now is, what if I’m denied visa, so my money is gone like that ?

Please who else here got admitted to Stevens Institute of Technology?

Do you want to get denied?
Apart from that $500, you’re still going to pay $160 for visa fee, $350 for Sevis fee alongside traveling expenses for your visa if you don’t stay in Abuja or Lagos.

I sent a mail to my school regarding this today and she explained that I should input the name of my course. According to her, the Embassy understands and she explained why it had to be a different major on the I20

Care to share her explanation?

Do you mean visa interview confirmation page? Was there space for other names? Isn't just first and last name?

They use educational codes to indicate major and the consulate is aware

Yes. Visa interview confirmation page. On reading again, I noticed the first name is expected to include both first name and middle name as shown on one's international passport.

Misterdhee1:

Yes. Visa interview confirmation page. On reading again, I noticed the first name is expected to include both first name and middle name as shown on one's international passport.

There's no way to fill your middle name in the confirmation page because it wasn't requested for. I also have just my first name and last name showing on my confirmation page printout, you're good to go.

I think we only need to include first name and middle name when we talk of Given names. But if first name is the only thing requested for, then inputting first name only shouldn't be wrong.

It's actually not true.
It's stated clearly. It's indicated as "other names" - exactly the way it is on your passport. That's the institution but it's not something to worry about.

I was about to modify what i said after checking it. i checked it and i saw the part they indicated that it should be filled out exactly the way it is on the passport.

I haven’t seen any transcript with industrial/ organizational psychology.

Can we take a printed online copy of bank statement to the embassy. Is this acceptable? I would appreciate swift response to this. Thanks guys

Please assist

Help

I was denied a tourist visa in 2018.

While filling my application for tourist visa under academic section then, I entered BSc, MSc Economics and Phd Economics in view, Although i later dropout from the Phd program due to job location and personal challenges that hit me.

Now the issue, While filling my ds160, I entered only Bsc economics as my educational qualification Presently, i want to attend interview next month and my program is masters in economics, but in my form 1/20 it is written as Managerial Economics/ Business Economics.

Wont the VO notice this difference in qualification in 2018 and now?
If i am ask, how do i defend myself ?
If this is a problem or false information on my end how do i amend this?

I really need your advise.

I heard about Kennesaw state university from Brown2green. May God bless him.

I'm grateful to God Almighty that made today possible. Everything started in 2019.
I wrote GRE and applied to schools but they all rejected me then I ran to Nairaland to tender my case.

One angel saw my case on Nairaland and sent a mail to me. We call him Pepe �. I thank God for using Pepe for me. He told me to go and do WES so that I can get admission and funding. I told him it wasn't possible becos I didn't have that kind of money. He pressed on me until I did WES, then my story changed.

I am so happy right now. Only God could have done this.

I planned to have my interview at a later date but I just discovered that my passport will remain exactly 6 months tomorrow. God gave me today's date in short �

Interview
Vo: good morning
Me: good morning sir.
Vo: do you have up to six months on this passport.
Me: yes sir. It will remain six months tomorrow.
Vo: where are you going in the US?
Me: I'm going to kennesaw state university for my Master's degree in chemistry. I got this offer in 2020 but due to covid lockdown I couldn't secure an appointment.
Vo: oh, I see.
Me: yes sir. In fact my assistantship was kept for me.
Vo: nodding in agreement.
Vo : why do you want to have this degree?
Me: I planned to join a multinational company here in Nigeria as a research and development Chemist, and this degree will put me in the best position to achieve that.
I'm currently eyeing Nestlé, OLAM, and Unilever.
Vo: where are you working presently?
Me: I'm working with Nestlé Nigeria on contract. I joined them pending the beginning of my program as I can't take up any permanent appointment until I get my Master's.
Vo: nodding in agreement.
Vo: have you travelled out before?
Me: No sir.
Vo: who is your sponsor?
Me : named him.
Vo: what does he do?
Me: he holds the position of vice president at OLAM international. So he controls all their manufacturing activities in Nigeria.
Vo: didn't get OLAM so I spelt for him.
Vo: why does he want to sponsor you?
Me: he was the one that advised me to go for my Master's abroad to gain a better research knowledge and international exposure before I join their company as R& Chemist. He promised to render all the necessary support and he's doing just that. In fact he gave me the money last year before I realized I couldn't go.
Vo: the money is in your account?
Me: No sir. In his account.
Vo: do you have his statement?
Me: yes I do. Gave him.
While he collected it to check, I quickly added.. that's just his transactional account, not his salary account.
Me: the assistantship I have has covered full tuition and living expenses, he's just covering the miscellaneous expenses.
Vo: checked the i20 again, then drop the account statement and then he said something I didn't hear and gave me the white paper.
Me: still standing at his front like I was in another world.
Vo: you are free to go.

Hallelujah!
The security there said it was the longest interview.

I appreciate everyone on this thread. Thanks so much!

Spence, thanks so much for words of wisdom.

Pepe my brother, I love you so much.

Glory be to God!
