Malone122:
a simple yes is fine don’t write stories

I wrote stories, 3 paragraphs long.

Congratulations ❤️❤️
Does that mean that one can explain why he or she thinks he was denied. It looks like they read it and compare to remarks from visa officers? That means one can explain any misunderstanding there right?

Me: Good morning Sir,
VO: (Sighted us) wow goodmorning . Have you been to the US before?
Me: No sir
VO: First time
ME: Yes Sir
VO: So where are you going to....
Me: I'm going to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for me their Master of Accounting and Information Systems program.

VO: Have you been here before
Me: Yes Sir, Lagos
VO: When
Me: November last year
VO: Same program
Same program: Yes sir

( At this point I believe he was reading where I wrote three paragraphs under reason for denial, I used this space to explain that it was due to home tie cos I believed leaving my parents date of birth blank affected me but I truly do not have their date of birth information as I lost them both in my teens and have no document containing their date of birth. Also I am married with kids and have all my sisters brothers cousins nephews and nieces here in Nigeria. Also I am a member of ICAN which is my professional family)

VO: How did you hear about this school or was it program (not sure which)
Me: My colleague first mentioned Virginia tech to me and upon further research I found out about the MADA certificate that I will receive in addition to my Master of Accounting and Information Systems Certificate without extending my program duration. I also connected with my program coordinator, Professor Nadia Rogers who also told me more about the program
Have you started classes
No sir but I have registered courses I will be taking this fall

VO: How are you funding this?
My GA and scholarship together cover about 80percent of my program cost

VO: Who is paying for the deficit
Me: My husband
VO: What does he do
Me: He is into the sales of electronics, computers and accessories
VO: How long do you expect your program to last
Me: 2years
Vo: Did you apply to any other school
Me: Yes sir also applied and got admitted to Kansas State university
VO: When is your program start date.
Me: My class starts 23rd August
VO: What was your most recent degree?
ME: I have Bachelor degree in Accounting and also just completed my ICAN exams and got induction May this year.

He said I should fly past some countries in Europe cos of covid

Hurdles I faced included taking passport for 4k cos me and one of my boys had the wrong passport photographs. No ears ...lol

Also I didn't go with my old passport. Explained its cos I wasn't asked for it during my first application in Lagos and it's also virgin passport.
I prayed for God to touch her heart and let the lady checking know it's way back in Lagos. We came all that way.
She let us through but please learn from this and go with yours.

Also of you have been denied before, stay through to your previous answers. If you must adjust your answers, expantiate on it instead.

I'm just happy to be out of this stage of life for now and go get that masters degree.

Best of luck and if your heart say yes...never give up.

Hyfeseyi:
Please how did you answer this question on ds -160 if you have been denied under section 214b before?

Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?

Laworldz:

Either you write 214b reasons or write what you believed caused it and how you have corrected it.
Use it as opportunity to explain yourself.
Try not to sound like you think the previous VO was wrong.
Be smart in your usage of words.

If you no fit, use option A

Thanks for your feedback.
So I can get a waiver by mailing the International students office asking if the option of Application waiver is available?

why are you mailing international students office for application fee waiver? They can't help with that, your application will be handled first by the admissions team, their email address is always on the application overview page, therefore you can send them a very polite email. Also, you are not going to ask if a waiver is available, if it is you will surely find it on the application information page. The mail should be an application fee waiver request email, explaining why you can't afford the fees, "in a polite way".

Good day all. My EA was approved. But I have 27th and school resumes on the 25th of this month. What is your advice. I want to defer my admission and wait for my normal appointment. This is good idea or anything else can be done?

It shouldn't take more than a week. It took 2 business day to receive in Lagos. I think you should have waited and chose Abuja for pickup. Goodluck!

Good afternoon, everyone.

Trust you're doing fine.

Is there anyone here who's applied to Western Illinois University? I have some questions to ask, I've asked the grad school but no reply yet.

My question borders on the LOR. The information on the website says:

"Three confidential letters of recommendation sent directly to the School of Graduate Studies by their recommenders."

Going by the above message in quotation marks, take note of the word "confidential", it means that my recommenders will write the letters and forward it to the mail of School Grad. Studies".

I would like to hear from anyone who has applied to the school.

Please reply as soon as you can. I'll appreciate your reply.

Thanks in anticipation.

Yeah, bro, copy the email address to your recommenders. The school needs your letters sent from them directly and with their institutionally-customized email addresses.

Flight fares are crazy now. Cheapest is 790k. Very legal to fly into the nearest/cheapest airport then connect to ur final destination on a bus, train or local flight. But you have to book the local flight before time. Let's say together when booking for ur international flight.

Baba, where you read say na 790k be cheapest flight fare? Don't share what you're not very sure of. People come here for genuine and confirmed information.

Duisburg:

Yeah, bro, copy the email address to your recommenders. The school needs your letters sent from them directly and with their institutionally-customized email addresses.

Ah! This is tough o.

So one wouldn't see the contents? Lol.

Guys, please how do one edit sevis fee receipt on cgif profile page after booking an appointment?

Duisburg:

U can check from ur end. It's not a lie. The person said for him/her with two kids is 4m. Don't you think he/she might have sought for the cheapest flights? Now is the season of traveling and fares are crazy now. Trust me.

Yes it is legal but could be stressful and fun at the same time.

Evaluate your ond and hnd with Wes

You have an option of seeing their letters. While filling the application form, you've got two options: waive the receipt of the letters or accept copies when received by the graduate office. Most applicants, including me, are chose waive. That way, the school would see you as you trusting your recommenders.
