Hi everyone. Thanks to all that have been contributing immensely to this thread. On the issue of advising people to withhold school name and or program, which is now the status quo with transcripts, I think this is wrong. A lot of people applied to WiU and got accepted simply because the barrier to entry is low and tuition is low, that’s not the fault of the applicants. People who know WiU or got the info from transcripts and decided to apply also know Havard and Stanford, and many people applied to it as a safe school and not just because they can’t research other schools. Hence, the argument is weak. I personally researched over 100 schools and attended several info sessions, that doesn’t mean everyone should be subjected to that. I can simply state my program in my transcript and also other schools I applied to. In an Indian Facebook group, they advise you on schools you can apply to and also help you choose the best after several admits, that is what we should be doing here. If you decide to hide your school and program, it’s your choice, but you’re not doing much to help others. On the issue of Fairheart willing to help people in the state he’s currently in, that’s a very good gesture and it’s not every thing your international office can do to help you, we’ve seen people here house others for weeks. Is it all schools that can provide temporary accommodation? On the issue of Fairheart charging people for reaching out to him personally, it’s perfectly legitimate. We all have 24 hours, so if you’re asking me to dedicate part of my own to advise you, I can decide to charge you, irrespective of where I got the info from. Would it be a problem if he has a dully registered company, paying salaries and taxes, and providing the same services, even if he got the info from here?. People and companies pay for advice, it’s a very usual business model and anyone should not be subjected to needles attacks because of this, even when he had stated clearly that people should only contact him if it’s personal. Not everyone can go through all this thread, so if I can get someone to give me step by step breadown for a fee, I’d be happy to pay. Plus I’ve never met anyone half as sefless as this guy on this visa journey. He will do mock interviews with you late at night and has been doing so for me and others for almost a year now without asking for a dime. Calling him a criminal is just lame and illogical, you can counter his submissions without attacking his person. I wish us all the best. 26 Likes 4 Shares |

Predstan: Lol..there is no aggression here. And by the special grace of God I will never be desperate about the United States. They no reach. You’re talking about patience, I have been patient. I’m not complaining that I did not get a date. I have waited patiently since June. Finally got a date, travelled from a far distance for you to tell me it’s cancelled. Nonsense. I don’t know about you maybe you have been conditioned to think that you can be treated anyhow just because it’s the American embassy, but definitely not me. I made plans, I have goals to meet, messing it up like that is wrong on every level no matter who is involved. 11 Likes |

Shuayb0: What’s the solution? Protest, rants and aggression. None of that but patience. So if I’m asking him/her to be patient, it is not insensitive. Coming to NAIRALAND will not solve any of those issues. There was this thread years ago where the consulate do respond to people, they closed it and moved because of aggressive rants like this. 1 Like |

jojoey: Well, you either accept the condition or you stop fucking with them. There is nothing you can do about it. You can read all the documents including SEVIS receipts, MRV receipt and the I-20. Nothing guarantees you an interview nor a visa. You can only handle it with patience. There is a popular nairalander who got his visa after the 9th attempt. Another person’s Passport was seized and accused wrongly. They did nothing but patiently wait to resolve it. You appointment was canceled, you are not the first, and will not be the last. All you can do is to patiently wait for their decisions. I’m sorry if you think it’s aggressive but I dont mean to present it this way from the start 3 Likes |

You did not do anything wrong. They wanna be pampered. Let them seek that at the embassy.. surprisingly when they finally get there they keep mute. Na as goat keep leg na him dem dey price am. There was a case in the US an Iraqi man was assaulted. He won the case with enough cash and the Americans said in their defence and knowledge, Iraqis get that kind of treatment in Iraq, so why complain. Judge or/ and jury awarded the complainant the justice and damages. The bottomline is na as your country keep you na him others dey folo treat you. It is sad but continuing! Predstan: |

JavanElsevier41:If your ultimate intention is to get a good degree that is competitive anywhere in the world, try Germany. But do a proper research about cities in Germany and choose your school in a city where you can easily get by with English Language for your daily activities and jobs. You also need to find out the current status of getting interview dates at the German embassy. |

Predstan: Exactly, my intention is for it to be resolved which would definitely be. I’m not saying I would fight or anything but my voice would be heard. You don’t eat shit because you were served shit. You stand up for yourself and do something about it. Nigeria is the way it is because you continue eating shit. You need to change your mindset. 8 Likes |

Hello house,I have a masters degree in engineering management and want to go for a PhD in engineering. I have a GRE score of 296. What universities can I apply to? Thanks |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by walepepe21: 7:09am On Jul 28, 2021 |
Ola9292: What is your UG degree GPA and in what field of engineering you had it? What is your GPA in your MSc and in what field of engineering you had it as well too? Also, Which area in Engineering are you aspiring for your PhD? If you ‘’wish’’ to provide answers to those questions I believe you will be able to get better responses and heads up on what to do. You have to be specific so as to understand what you actually want. Thank you ! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Bamdaniels: Hi friend. Have u ever apply for America visa before. Most likely you have and some one perhaps an agent did that on your behalf. My parents went through this same ordeal while trying to apply for visa so I had to step in. I called the Nigeria embassy very early in the morning ( it is important you call them by 9 as to guarantee they pick up your call) and told them I can’t get access to the email I used to create my parent profile. I requested to change the email. The email was changed and also the password Make sure you dont hang up until you confirm it yourself. The thing about CGI website is that you can only create one profile with your passport number. When u attempt to create another profile with the same passport number you will be rejected. PERSONAL ADVICE You are starting the visa application rather too late and time is not on your side. You have three options: 1) Defer your admission to January 2022 and start the visa application early 2) Try your luck and check for date. All date are fully book to 2022. You can apply for emergency date but that is not guaranteed. There are people here that applied a month ago and haven’t gotten any date. 3) This option is the least talk about here. Infact I think is against Naira land policy but if you want to get a date you have to go all the way out. Get a trusted and reliable agent if you want to resume school in August. I wish you all the best. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Pamelayoung:most times you’re told to go back to your country and apply. If you’re not a resident or have valid reason of stay in the new country, it’s not advisable to apply. Let’s say you’re going to Ghana. Your passport would show your date of entry to Ghana and if the purpose of entry is realized to be the Visa, you’d most likely be sent back. |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by vizin: 9:53am On Jul 28, 2021 |
Good morning everyone! Please, I'm curious about the visa interview part where proving or demonstrating home ties is an important part to possibly getting an approval. What if your reasons for wanting to study in the US means a career advancement opportunity in another country and not Nigeria, is this going to be an issue when you are asked "what will this degree do for you or what are your plans upon returning?" Please I'll appreciate an answer on this one. Thanks. |

Friedpotato:I applied for FALL before and scheduled my appointment like everyone else and got 28th July as my appointment date Enrollment deadline for FALL in my school is August 5. But I wouldn’t be able to meet up with this date, as I have something serious holding me down in Lagos on the 10th of August, When I noticed this, I contacted my institution for an extension or late entry letter and they refused and said I have to defer my admission to spring. This was a really tough decision to make. But I did in the end, and they sent me a new I-20 on the 24th July. I updated my DS-160 dates and I attended my interview as normal, explained to the VO why I am going for spring and got my visa, to the Glory of God So my question now is, can I still travel after the 10th of August? 6 Likes |
