Which of the embassy?

Abuja

If your initial appointment was Lagos or Abuja, you should have one more opportunity to reschedule in Lagos or Abuja.

So when you cancel the pending appointment, it goes with the emergency request.
Thereafter you book new appointment for either of the embassies using same log in details. Your MRV will pop up itself so you don't need to edit.
Just change location and pick earliest date you see, you then request an emergency appointment attaching your SEVIS receipt and I-20 explaining why you need to travel before a particular date.
Take notice of the tentative travel date, I made a mistake in mine. Be sure to look at it properly before imputing.
You're also supposed to update your Ds-160 to reflect location change.
Don't forget to double-check and take note of your new barcode confirmation number to make sure it's same on your new visa application.

Kioshi:

Please how did you do this

Tosinmichael11:


Abuja

Please share your transcript

Leave it as it is. If asked to clarify, inform the officer that your parents own the business.

Toriah789:
Hello house, quick question please.

My I-20 sponsor states my parents business name.
I filled my Dad as the person paying for the trip under the Travel section.

I have a reference letter from the bank that states that my parent are the signatories of the account.
Do I need to change it to their business name on the DS160 form?

Dayoaf:

Superstar101:
cogngratulations .......I Tap into this testimony


Firstly, I ascribe all the glory to God for His mercies and grace ��. If you believe in God keep believing, trusting and having faith do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Never underestimate the power of prayer and Grace!
I'd also like to say a big thank you to this platform for the wealth of information/knowledge herein and also transcripts shared, which I richly benefited from.

1st Attempt:
Appointment - 7th June 2021
Consulate - Lagos
Window - 5
Status - Denied.
It was a day of dishing out blue paper, for every 10-20 people interviewed, only 2 or 3 were approved while I was still there (not exagerating, you can ask those that had their interview on that day). I was interviewed by a dark elderly woman (black American in her 50's). On this day I was just gradually recovering from Malaria, so my voice wasn't as audible as it should.

V.O: Good morning, pass me your i20 and passport.
ME: I did.
V.O: Why are you going to the States?
ME: I'm going for my masters in Architecture with concentration in Sustainable Architecture (types...).
V.O: Who is sponsoring? (Glancing at my i20 and then staring at me).
ME: My mom (said where she works)...I also have some personal savings which will cater for my living expenses (types...).
V.O: Do you have proof to show that?
ME: I passed my sponsorship letter (glances through).
V.O: switches off mic and says I should give her
some time, she went inside with my documents...after 2mins she comes back, types for a while and then reached for the blue paper, returns my documents and passport and says I can try again (putting on a pity face). I was in shock as I didn't see that coming and didn't know what she went inside to confirm.

2nd Attempt:
Appointment - 29th July 2021
Time - 7:30am
Consulate - Abuja
Window - 7
COA - $32k
Funding - Nill
Status - Approved (8:30am).
My interview lasted for about 3mins. Interviewed by a beautiful white lady in her 30's. The two guys before me on the row were denied. Immediately I saw that and I was next to be interviewed, I resumed my words of affirmation, declaring that "my case is different, I shall not return with my passport" ( I was the first to be approved In my qeue).

V.O: Good morning
ME: Good morning.
V.O: Place your fingers for your biometrics
ME: I did.
V.O: I can see you're going to BG for your Masters in Architecture (starts typing...).
ME: Yes, that's correct...then quickly added with a concentration in Sustainable Architecture (nods head and continues typing...).
V.O: Will you be focusing on Green Architecture?
ME: Yes, exactly (keeps typing...).
V.O: What will this degree do for you?
ME: I intend to come back to Nigeria and hope to utilise this specialised knowledge and skill acquired in creating a niche for myself as an Architect, and my company where I currently work, here in Nigeria as I would be one of the pioneers to bring this back home (nods head and continues typing...).
V.O: What do you currently do?
ME: I'm an Architect in one of the leading real estate/ construction company in Banana Island, Lagos (nods head and continues typing...).
V.O: Who is sponsoring this?
ME: My mom (said where she works)...I also have some personal savings which will cater for my living expenses (nods head and continues typing...).
V.O: What did you go for on your last visit?
ME: Vacation.
V.O: Congratulations I will be approving your visa.
ME: Thank you.

Then she went ahead to talk of the strict Covid-19 protocol and all but I actually didn't hear anything just kept my gaze on her and was smiling behind the mask as I remembered what peeps here always say about "not hearing anything" (facts).

Advice/word of encouragement:
DO NOT Giveup on your dreams. Stay focused! A delay/denial isn't the end of Life, Try Again! (Na who giveup carry last). Above all, Trust God! Pray, fast if you can. DO NOT tell Lies. Speak with Confidence, maintain eye contact at all time. God that did it for me will do same for you �� (What God Cannot Do Doesn't Exists) GO GET YOUR VISA's! #Believe.

Congratulations. Please after the ist attempt, did you fill another DS 160 form?

Thank you. Yes I did.

Send a Dm.

Tosinmichael11:



Please how did you get to reapply and you had a swift date??

The emboldened phrase needs a lot of work. It is incomplete and doesn't show that you've done any research. "Data collection and customer database" are technical terms that do not belong in this phrase.

I would start by giving a brief overview of the connection between IT and your business goals. Cite an example of an ongoing research in AI-powered fashion designing and production in one sentence. Then deliver how I intend to leverage on the opportunity to prepare my business for the future of fashion.

Good luck in your next interview.

Tosinmichael11:

wow you shoukd have brought your transcript here before going to the embassy. Haba! You didnt sell your self, you should have used a strong sorry, i am so sorry you didnt get approved, please try to apply again, then have a different narrative. Don’t worry you will get approved

I included my FB and IG accounts initially, didn't change it. But pls note you must be sure to have got a clean record, no implicating stuffs, videos or pictures if you must include it .


Did you change anything or add social media accounts?[/quote]

Ehizy007:
Thank you. Yes I did.

Please in the DS 160 form where asked that have you be denied Visa before or denied admission at the point of entry and so on. When you choose yes. Did you specify in the remark the type of the visa denied or write any other comment or you just choose yes without putting any remarks.

Vahn:
I cant believe it!!!! I made so much Errors in my emergency form, including documents that didn’t seem to upload and i got approved, God is wonderful!

I’m happy for you.
When is your earliest admission date?

Apart from post and comments, do they check messages?

If you are waiting for Abuja emergency approval email, please don’t feel dejected and give up, dates are available so much in August and in September even though its not reflecting on the regular visa appointment portal, i think its a measure put in place to allow people get visa dates according to their resumption dates, I believe everyone waiting will be replied soon. So please dont give up on Yourself and on God, Monday is another day and hopefully many will receive emails too, there are many dates available,so don’t worry

Yes. I did mention that in my last interview I wasn't given the opportunity to showcase and demonstrate my ties (facts) and politely requested for a fair hearing.
