I'd be grateful if you would offer a reply to my question.

NB: I chose them cos they accept Wes, my Hnd had to be sent to Wes.

Hello house, please my interview is coming up and I need some assistance. How do I fill a new Ds 160 and update on CGI without losing my current appointment date? I filled it before for fall but couldn’t get a date on time, so I had to defer my admission to Spring. Is it compulsory I now update the DS 160 to spring term or can I just leave it as it is and say I scheduled my interview earlier on but had to defer. Please I’ll appreciate a timely response.

Also my I-20 states personal funds but I’ll be going with mine & an uncle’s bank statement as a sponsor with the bulk of the funds from my uncle. Will this be ok? Please help

Hazardd:
Did you send only the hnd or do u include ND?

Gent2nice:
Ensure to update your day 160 to reflect the new changes travel and resumption date.

Using uncle as sponsor should have been the best o since his account carries the bulk money , they will most likely reckon with the name on your i20

IvannahG:
Hello house, Good morning. Please I’m running out of time, my interview is next Monday. If anyone can be so kind as to explain step by step how do I do this ds 160 update on an already submitted application, would really appreciate it please. My appointment is already confirmed with one ds 160 barcode, how exactly do I go about an update at this stage?

Highzhikk:
Fill a new ds160 entirely, go to your CGI portal and update it by inserting your new DS160 confirmation code

Have you submitted the Ds-160? If Yes, no issues.
Go to the Ds page and fill all the fields then click on "create new application".

Hello Everyone,

I've been a silent reader of this section, fortunately, i got an offer this year to pursue an Associate degree in Nursing, which I took hoping my case would be different. So I had my Visa interview today at Abuja Embassy but I was only delayed at the moment. Kindly, find below my transcript for your scrutiny and comments.

I was asked just 4 questions (out of the 32 questions I'd initially prepared, lol) by a very tall white guy;

VO: Have you travelled out before?
ME: No, I haven't had a reason to, prior to this time.

VO: I can see you're going for an Associate degree in Nursing from NHCC, what's your first degree?
ME: BSc in Microbiology from the University of Port Harcourt.

VO: Why are you going for this course?
ME: I developed a passion for nursing during the course of my work experiences in healthcare facilities and the nature of my 1st degree course where I got to work closely with medical practitioners most especially with nurses, I got to encounter the various aspect of patient care and the tenacities of these nurses to provide excellent healthcare to the patients always drew my admiration, this ignited my passion to pursue a nursing degree.

VO:What do you intend to do after graduation?
ME: After graduation, I intend to utilize the Optional Practical Training for a period of 3 to 4months in order to have more clinical experiences which will be leveraged on upon my return to Nigeria and upon my return, this degree will enable me be reabsorbed as a full time staff at my current place of work in the capacity of a licensed nurse (I currently work as a Volunteer Healthcare Assistant in a hospital); I have a written agreement with the hospital management to this effect. I hope to influence the health practice at my work place to a global standard with the clinical knowledge and expertise gained. Then I also talked about partnering with NGOs such as WHO and SFH in order to volunteer my services for the provision of affordable and accessible healthcare services to some remote communities in my state.


Please, is it advisable to reapply or I should secure an MSc admission related to my 1st degree because I know that my No.2 question was a redflag. I sincerely do not feel bad nor disappointed reasons being that I know by God's grace, I will get my Visa soon. My fellow nairalanders, kindly advise me on the next step to take. Thanks.

NigPatriot:
Some people come here just to seek information, as soon as they get their visa. They disappear into thin air. For Some, even the least thing you can do which is to post your transcript, you still don't.

Thats why I've even stopped replying DMs on here.

Lets all be doing the "me, myself and I" lifestyle and see how far it leads us then.
