Pefuele: After updating on the appointment portal, I was told you just have to take both the old and new ds-160 confirmation slips to the interview. Do you still need to send an email? Does this apply to every update you made to your ds-160 or just change of school? In my case, there is a change in sponsor. I had initially mistakenly put self as sponsor, but now I need to change it to uncle. Do I also need to do as you said by sending an email? |

Hello guys! Please I need your help on this one! My interview is tomorrow and I’m in the dark about something! I started working in may2016 then in 2018 I gained admission into the uni of Lagos to study chemical engr but I due to some personal issue I dropped out in my first semester 2nd year! But I didn’t state it in my ds-160 cos I didn’t graduate! Can’t I take my admission later I used in getting into the unilag so the VO believes me or I shouldn’t bother about talking bout it |

Pls I’ve been following this thread as a guest and I have two questions. Is there a way of doing an undergraduate thingy with my transcript in any school in USA ? I had an extra year but not planning on finishing the extra year here |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by TWoods(m): 3:50am On Jul 08, 2021 |
jpseason: You're better off finishing in Nigeria. How would you explain leaving your degree with 1 year left, at your visa interview? 1 Like |

Curious2020: There is no way your friend is resuming in 10 days. The company needs to file for an H1B visa for him, that alone takes months to be approved. |

TWoods:I’ve collected my transcript I had a friend that did something like that, left school in the 3rd year and completed it over there . |

Nioj: Good morning. Well, this is not a financial advice ![]() Why do you have to choose between continuing with your low-paying job and quitting to focus on your graduate school application when you can combine both? There are a good number of successful applicants who have done same. Here's what I suggest: Find a way to convert your unrelated work experience to a relevant one which can boost your chances in getting admission and getting your visa approved at the embassy. It depends on your profile and intended degree field. I believe there is always a way to make your job experience relevant or package it to the school you are applying to and the embassy when it is time. Every company or business or organizations that give jobs have different units/departments. Find which is more related and get involved. PS. I'm giving a general answer because i don't have the details of your job and intended field of study. Speaking of the relatedness of your job to your intended field of study, I believe you've read transcripts of people that have switched fields. Just be ready to give cogent reasons when asked (e.g. new-found interest in this field, discovered a problem, going back to your passion, etc). Wish you God's grace. |

Rayraydray: There's a lot of information you've not provided...your question is kinda confusing! This begs a lot of questions. To start with, you started working long before you got admitted to UNILAG. This employment was based on what? Academic qualification or job experience? What's your job description? Is it related to Chemical Engineering? Do you still work there currently? The admission at UNILAG was for an undergraduate degree? Now, what degree are you pursuing in the US? Undergrad. or graduate? What's the actual problem? Gap years? This admission letter you're asking about...what role will it play? What will you be convincing the VO about since you did not even mention your school in your DS-160? Come out plain, please. Generally, I suggest you be as truthful as possible to the VO and do not contradict yourself. Selah 4 Likes |

Yeah I took up a job in my uncle’s school to teacher primary school students! But in 2018 I started attending uni lag studying bsc in chem engr but the death of my bro played a big part in me dropping out and also inspired me to choose nursing as a course! I initially didn’t put it in my ds-160 cos I didn’t get a degree from unilag Hallelujahvoice: |

Curious2020: Roblox should have a HR department that deals with international recruitment and would be able to guide him properly. It would be best to work with HR if he sure its a legit offer then let him go to passport office ASAP and try to get a passport 3 Likes |

TWoods:I'm quite aware H1B is for University Graduates, which he isn't or highly skilled professionals which he isn't. He's just a term with extreme management abilities. |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Pefuele(m): 8:06am On Jul 08, 2021 |
Tyleet:For changes on DS-160 you need to fill another to effect changes if you have submitted. I believe you can also retrieve it if you are yet to submit. |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Hallelujahvoice: 8:14am On Jul 08, 2021 |
Rayraydray: I can make a guess... you're currently teaching in your uncle's school and goin' for a nursing undergraduate degree in the US. The death of your brother prompted you to study nursing. To convince the VO when/if asked, you'll need to state exactly what led to your brother's death, how that condition is what you're going to be studying, what you plan to do after the degree (study plans during and after your stay in the US) and of what use this degree will be. About the gap years, you need to state in clear terms what you've been doing. If you still have time, you can post a proposed transcript for the mandem to review. Teaching is quite flexible... there's a lot one can make out of your experience, I believe. Always remember, don't contradict yourself. Pray for God's leading. Wish you God's grace and success. 2 Likes |

While you drop your Transcripsts put your full profile ( UG course,School name, Any scholarships, TCOA, Deficit, location of interview and Masters/ PhD course).

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by tobbyoladejo: 9:02am On Jul 08, 2021 |
Temahjeff1:Please confirm if what you're seeing is "Application under review" or "evaluation in progress". If it's the former, it may take up to three weeks before you see any update to evaluation in progress. If it's the latter however, you may need to call their customer care. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Curious2020: 9:03am On Jul 08, 2021 |
LagosismyHome:Thanks, but is there anything like expedited international passport? Because once those folks at passport office see that one needs a passport urgently, extortion comes in. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Temahjeff1(m): 9:08am On Jul 08, 2021 |
tobbyoladejo: Evaluation in progress (Our document specialists are processing your new document(s). You are not required to do anything at this time.) |

dupsydooo: Why not go for an Ms in your intended course? Also, let me help you. Get your official transcripts from your school. Get a nice CV that shows all your achievements in fashion. Check for schools in the US doing your course and mail the Graduate Co-ordinator if you meet minimum requirements or what you need to do to apply( so as to know what you need to include in your application to be competitive whether you need the GRE or TOEFL or may be a professional certificate or a pre-requisite you need to take).
