DISCLAIMER: This post is meant for genuine students. There is no doubt that Grace plays a big role in getting an approval. However, let's not attribute everything to grace and fail to see the emerging pattern here. The VOs do NOT want to deny you a Visa. Infact, they want to approve you but the law and their training dictates that they assume you are an immigrant till you prove you aren't. So when you're denied, they are not saying 'Bleep off, we don't want you in our country' it's more like 'I believe you're trying to illegally immigrate, try the legal immigration route instead or convince me that you're a non-immigrant'. This hurts me so much because I've seen genuine students denied because of the sins of visa abusers. Now to the concept of ties, You must have ties to Nigeria to be considered a non-immigrant. You see some of these people with Jobs they have worked at for more than 3 years with a work leave getting approved? Yes, it's grace but it's also Work ties. For instance, today I saw a woman get approved who has been at a workplace for 15 years, and trust me her interview wasn't spectacular. Infact, she wasn't even vibing with the VO, but she had strong work ties and the program she was going for was plausibly going to improve her career. Hence, she was approved. So if you're Jobless, are you screwed? Not necessarily. Family ties - Are you married? Do you have older family members depending on you for care?(please be careful about telling fantastical stories that the VO would call bullshit on immediately) What of dependent children? Demonstrating that you have family in Nigeria you can't possibly abandon helps your case. Social ties - Do you lead an an organization here in Nigeria that would suffer in your prolonged absence? Are you a prominent member of your community that a lot of people depend on? What of your church or political party? Is there anything there that would compel you to return? Try as you may, some people may not have plausible ties. Then your plans for the future come into play. What steps have you taken to secure your future in Nigeria (at the completion of your program) ? You may have no ties now to Nigeria but you can be able to convince the VO that you plan to return by applying for a position here in Nigeria that would be provisionally accepted pending your program completion. (This is just an example). If you have no ties or plausible compelling future plans, then your profile becomes really important. Young, straight outta high school applying to a bachelors? Likely genuine student, more likely to be approved than someone in their late 20s, 10 years out of high school, being doing a 'computer diploma program' in the interim applying for the same bachelors. Mid 20s, recently graduated (best months after graduation), going for a masters in a course related to their bachelors, likely to be approved regardless of ties compared to someone in their 30s, years post bachelors, masters in sth totally unrelated and no career benefit. My point is Grace plays a huge role but we need to learn to analyze people's profiles when they are approved. Check in this order 1. Ties 2. Plans 3. Profile 39 Likes 8 Shares |

Good Day all. Please kindly give the best advise. I filled my DS-160 form without submitting because I have deferred my admission till January 2022 since there was no date to reapply for Fall 2021. I have been waiting for my updated I-20 to update my DS-160 but now it is over 30 days I filled the DS160 form. I cannot retrieve the form anymore for update and I have used the DS 160 Reference number to pick interview date in December 2021. What can I do without making payment for another VISA FEE? Is there anyway I can fill new DS-160 and LINK it with the initial one? Please advise 1 Like |

Good evening guys. I was just about to defer my admission when I got a mail that my EA has been approved for next week. Please advise on what’s best to do. Deferring was something I had to consciously accept since I didn’t get a feedback in time. What do you suggest I do? Can I go ahead with my current I20 for the visa interview next week and still defer to spring 2022 after I get the visa? My school start date is 30th August. Please help, I’m clueless. 1 Like |

Please oooo abeg those of us that got admission from fall but defer to spring 2022 because EA was not approved earlier and booked appointments already how are we gonna update the ds160 when new I-20 never arrived. Or we have to convince VO on interview day? Please advise us we are many in the situation. And I guess if someone has booked an appointment already we cannot edit the ds160 profile anymore is this true? Thanks for response 2 Likes 1 Share |
