It seems as though people have not been getting dates for interview or people have not been going for interviews. The transcripts here keep reducing by the day. I have referred many people to this thread because this helped me but it seems the materials are reducing sadly.

Hello guys, pls I need to confirm if this is the right step to pay for the sevisfee using WU quick pay. My friend trying to help me seem confused, she said WU agents don’t know what sevisfee is and even the quick pay. Pls I need your help.

Hello all,

I recently got married just like a month and I already had admission for spring 2022, When I was requesting for i-20 i requested for mine and my wife's own. My wife passport does not carry my own last name...Hope this is not an issue going with this for interview . Please I need your kind guide and possible question we might be asked about the last name difference.

NOTE: we have our marriage certificate and pictures of our wedding....

Someone should answer me please���

Chynwem:
Please guys will I be able to get an ER fast in Lagos? Also I stay in Lagos, but I want to know which is advisable to fill in the form for an interview Lagos or Abuja.

Chynwem:

No one can say. Emergency appointment is not so predictable. But why not, make a trial, back it up with the required docs and a very convincing comment on why you need an EA.

Congratulations bro. Thanks for the encouragement and comic relief.

Trey195:
Visa Approved 1st of November
Lagos
Masters in IT
COA: 31,120 (No funding)
Undergraduate degree: Environmental Sciences
Current job role: E-commerce/Operations Analyst
First attempt
VO was a white male in his late 50s
Here's how it went:

VO: Hi! How are you?
Me: Good afternoon sir. I'm fine thank you.
VO: Pass me your passport and i-20 please
Me: Here they are.
VO: Why are you here?
Me: (I come count beans ni )
I'm here for my F1 student visa interview.
VO: Yes for what purpose
Me: To travel to the US and pursue my masters degree in information technology with a concentration in management and analytics at Valparaiso University, Indiana.
VO: Keeps typing for about 30 seconds.
At this point I felt I needed to prove my case more as the silence wan begin dey too long and no further questions were forthcoming.
Me: I currently work as an e-commerce/operations analyst with the foremost fintech company in Nigeria and the whole of Africa (oshe!). My duties include managing the online sales process to achieve company sales objectives; developing sales strategies and determining sales forecast and projections; and organizing data and generating deep customer insights in order to enhance sales force productivity and profitability.
VO: (nods his head like agama )
So what will you do with this degree
Me: (wa sherey omo iya mi)
Upon completion of my program, I will return to my current place of work to take up a senior managerial role. That's in the short term. In the long run, I plan on setting up my own IT consulting firm where I will partner with the Lagos State government (correct ) to organise empowerment programs targeted at the most vulnerable of our society - young children and women.
VO: (keeps nodding head)
So you will be coming back to your current work place?
Me: Yes sir!
VO: So you have been working in IT for some time?
Me: Yes sir. About 5 years.
VO: Have you travelled out before?
Me: Yes sir. I went to Ghana in 2018 for a vacation.
VO: Who's your sponsor?
Me: My father is sponsoring me.
VO: What does he do?
Me: He's a general manager with a top insurance brokerage company here in Nigeria, and he's also a real estate developer who develops, sells and rents out landed properties.
VO: Wait let me get your story straight. You said he's an insurance general manager and now he's a real estate developer?
Me: He's does both sir. He's main occupation is the general manager at an insurance brokerage company, while he does real estate development on the side.
VO: You have any siblings?
Me: Yes, two. One is a medical doctor and the other is a recent graduate of mechanical engineering.
VO: Alright! Everything looks good here. I will be granting your visa. You can pick up your passport...blah blah (Omo I legit went deaf here)
Me: Thank you sir and have a great day!

I give baba God all the glory. What he cannot do doesn't exist o! My people pray, pray, pray!!!
Nairaland has really been a blessing and instrumental in this success story as well, so it was only right I come and give account.
Quick tip: Endeavour to fill your DS160 yourself and you must be able to correlate & defend what you filled on it.
God bless everyone and I wish all visa hopefuls success.

jermer25:
It didn't work. They clearly stated credit card, not debit card. Someone has helped me out sha

Well, I faced similar issue where they clearly stated credit card, and debit card worked perfectly. That may just be an isolation.

It's fine since you've done it.

edimalo:


Trying to pay enrollment deposit for someone and use 3 debit cards. None working. How do I resolve this. Which payment works better.

I don't know of your university but I made use of my ACCESS debit card for my application fee and it worked.

Guys! Please, I have 6 siblings, how do I explain this to a consular, if they ask me.

I'm thinking of just saying 2.

Good day guys.. I'm yet to complete my Ds-160 form and I've already paid for my visa.. My question is can i go ahead to schedule a visa appointment?

Yes, you can. You will need your DS 160 alphanumeric application ID when applying.

Ayooluwa45:

Trey195:
Yes it's normal. It now depends on your situation. Like your program start date, if you uploaded all the required documents, if you have been delayed recently and so on. Be hopeful, I believe your EA will be granted soon.

Thanks Boss

Abuja or Lagos, which is preferable for interview please. I'm about to start my ds 160.

Feexo:
I got my visa in July, 2014 and this thread was really helpful at the time. I just want to pray from the bottom of my heart for all those seeking the U.S. student visa on this thread; God will grant your heart desires.

Amen

I claim it. Amen.

Good evening everyone,
I got US visa rejection recently, below is my transcript, thanks

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning

VO: Please pass me your document and your I-20
Me: I passed all requested documents to him, I-20, DS 160, and International Passport

VO: You are going to Missouri University of Science and Technology to study System Engineering?
Me: Yes

VO: You have some funding?
Me: Yes

VO: You have some deficit in your funding, and how are going to pay for the rest:
Me: I have some savings since I have been working since 2012 and I have also made provision for a student loan to cater for the rest of my bills

VO: Why Missouri?
Me: Missouri S&T is one of the top-ranking universities in US and among the best-ranked university in System Engineering

VO: What will you specialize in?
Me: I will specialize in System Analyst

VO: what are your plans after school?
Me: after school, I will come back home (to Nigeria) to take a job in banks or telecom operators as a system analyst

Please I need an answer Fam

Chynwem:

Thanks a lot for this explanation.
Pls pardon me, I need further clarification.

Here's what is stated in her I20 form....

Estimated Average Cost for 8 months: $36,500 ( Tution: 26,000 + Living expenses: 8,500)

Then Her GA takes care of total tuition and also pays monthly stipends.

So, in this case does it mean that she doesn't have any deficit?

I'll really appreciate your help clarity again.

Thanks

TWoods:


Deficit is the difference between total tuition costs and how much of it is waived by scholarships or fellowships. In other words, how much tuition costs you have left to pay.

Since your wife has a GA that covers everything plus stipend, deficit does not apply to her.

Hello e-brethren, I humbly seek your options, for a biology graduate who works as a sales rep in a Telecom company, going for Ms biology and intending to become a university lecturer, I'm looking for a good way to establish ties since I'm definitely not coming back to this my current job(sales rep) as it isn't related. In your subjective opinions, does telling the VO you wanna come back to your University to become a Lecturer establish enough home ties? Or what will y'all rather suggest, Pls help, @Twoods, NigerPilot ....

for someone in their late 30s or early 40s, can personal funding be a red flag?
In my case, my father is late, I have an aging mother, I have been working for more than 10 years in Telco Vendor companies, having a personal fund should fly, I have been trying to pursue my master's since I left school but no support, I need to hustle for the money to make the dream come true.

Anyone with an answer for this please

tunde2222:
Hello everyone, I intend to get F2 visa for my wife and 2 kids. Do I have to fill different visa application form for each of them or 1 will be good enough.
2. Do kids under 10 years need to attend the interview.

Jeez! You had a chance and you blew it? They didnt ask most of us this important questions cos the korean vo had marked us in his mind, we were being asked the numbers of siblings we had and if we have traveled before.

They didnt give us a chance, i want to cry mehn, you could have said so many strong things that would have given you a pass.

God knows best sha

Technically, what your wife owes the school is tuition, not living expenses (unless it includes mandatory expenses like health insurance). Her GA likely covers all tuition and insurance. The stipend covers the rest of the living expenses. She has no deficit.

Trust me, this was the same type of GA i had.
