Hello good people. I want to apply for F1 visa and i would like to go with my spouse but I would be going first because she is abroad at the moment and would not be available when I appear for interview.

Firstly, must we appear for the interview together? and since we might be applying for F1 and F2 at different times, is it ok to leave her out of financials for i-20 since we are not exactly going at the same time.

Thanks.

Not necessary you include her on I20 and appearing for visa since you're not going with her now..
But when ask if she will be visiting, let your intention know

I am super happy for all of you on your Admissions, Visa approval and funding. I fervently pray I join the league very soon. I applied to wiu and eiu. I have not heard anything from them up till now.
Please is there any group for wiu or eiu fall 2021. The EIU I entered from Facebook is full of Indians.

I got admission from Eiu. Not necessarily u join any group, here is enough.

Hello family, i have put in a request for an emergency appoint because my regular appointment falls behind my programs start date. So while I wait on the review from the embassy concerning my request. I thought to share my proposed transcript with you amazing people for your critique.

MY PROPOSED VISA INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT

VO: Good morning pass me your i-20 and passport please
Me: Good morning. God bless you. How are you? Here you go (pass the document requested)

VO: why are you going to the US?
Me: I am going to the US to pursue my Master’s degree at Biola University, California with major in Christian Apologetics.

VO: Why did you choose the US? Why not UK or Canada?
Me: I chose the US because Biola’s Christian apologetics programs at Talbot School of Theology are led by some of the most respected thinkers and scholars in the field like William Lane Craig, Craig Hazen, Sean McDowell. These have debated some highly placed scholars of different worldviews on various platforms and have made brilliant impressions. So it will be a great opportunity for me to learn from these professors.
[it was suggested and from the transcripts I have read here that it is better to not give them the cliché that US is good, certificate is valid but rather to talk about the uniqueness of the university as the influencing fact for choosing]

VO: How did you hear about Biola University and why choose it?
Me: I learned about Biola University from an intensive search for the best schools to study Christian apologetics. In my search, Biola University was top-ranked as a dedicated faith-integrated learning institution in the heart of Southern California and its Christian apologetics programs at Talbot School of Theology are led by some of the most respected thinkers and scholars in the field like William Lane Craig, Sean McDowell. They have debated some highly placed scholars of different worldviews on various platforms. So it will be a great opportunity for me to learn from these professors.

VO: Why did you choose this course? Why this degree? Why Christian Apologetics?
Me: I have chosen this course/pursuing this degree/ Christian Apologetics because my area of ministerial interest and goal is to lecture at the seminary however, a master’s degree is the minimum requirement to stand a chance.
So completing this course/degree/Christian apologetics will not only equip me with the analytical framework needed in apologetics research and writing to explore, articulate and explain a faith-based perspective on topics such as evolution, the existence of God, the reliability of the Scripture and the problem of evil to make a case for the Christian faith and belief confidently and with authenticity in the face of contending objections, it would also help me to achieve this ministerial goal.

VO: Are you in the orders? How long?
Me: yes, I am an ordained priest in the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion serving in the Diocese of *** since June 2019. It is over 2 years now.

VO: Where/When did you complete your undergraduate degree?
Me: I graduated from ****** College of Theology, ***** with a Bachelor of theology first class honor in May 2019.

VO: Did you take any standardized test?
Me: No I did not.

VO: Why?
Me: It was optional since English language had been the language of instruction for all my education.

VO: How many other schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to one other, Harvard University school of divinity.

VO: Have you ever been to the US?
Me: No, I have not.

VO: Are you married?
Me: No, I am not married.

VO: What are your plan after graduation?
Me: I will return back to Nigeria and take up a lecturing role as an authority in Christian Apologetics in one of the seminaries in the supra west Dioceses of the church of Nigeria where I will use the knowledge, exposure and experience I gather during my study to impact seminarians. I will combine this with my pastoral ministry.

VO: You do not have any scholarship, so who is sponsoring you?
Me: Mr ******** ********, he is my parishioner, and has decided to take up my sponsorship because of my achievement as the best graduating student in my bachelor’s degree.

VO: What does he do?
Me: He offers professional services in building construction contract, sales, purchase and developing of property and survey.

VO: Do you have his bank statement? Can I see it?
Me: Yes, I do and sure you can. Here you go (planning to get a letter of sponsorship from him).

Suggestions welcomed.
Many thanks.

Please I need your opinion, I started my application stating I would be having the visa interview in Abuja but for days I've been unable to schedule an appointment, I've been unable to get a near date. Can I try scheduling in Lagos? will it in any way affect my application? I'm yet to schedule any dates since I've not found a near date.
Kindly help

Hello,

Please are there any date opened for lagos consulate?

Not a problem at all.
You can state in your Ds-160 you want to interview in Abuja and then change to interview in Lagos while scheduling appointment.
You can schedule anywhere. Pick whatever date you see there, and when your program start date is within 60 days, request for an expedited appointment and it will be granted.

I assume you mean via Public transport (danfo)?
Enter Obalende Bus at Yaba. Stop at last bus stop. Then ask where you can enter Bonny Camp/Ozumba. Once the bus takes off, just tell the Driver you are going to Walter Carrington or US Embassy.

You cannot change interview location after you have scheduled and confirmed. You can only change location if you haven't confirmed your schedule.
