Thanks for this. The one I tried applying for said they needed GRE.

Please do you have any other?

Thanks

Send them an email saying you cannot continue your application because you cannot afford to pay for GRE, give them time they'll reply you waiving GRE.

Hello fam! I’m Cletus from Ghana. I was denied a visa today at the American embassy in Accra.

I will like to share my transcript here and solicit for fresh ideas as to how to go about the interview the next time as I plan to reapply. My undergrad degree was in Real Estate. No funding but the money involved isn’t much of a problem as my uncle had catered for that already. Find transcript below,

Work on your home ties. Check this thread and see what people are saying when they ask them 'VO: What work do you do?'

emmanuelle27:
Lol.. nope, it's a 2:2

You will be fine. MSc will work just fine. You have got a good TOEFL score and a considerable GRE result. Do you have any publication from your UG?

For somebody going to study in the US,this your written grammar na something else. No pun intended

Please can a second time F1 student also send a mail to ConsularAbuja@state.gov?

I will like to know if you initially had an appointment schedules before sending them an email or you just filled the ds160 and the cgi portal without choosing a date. Your response will be highly appreciated.

UPDATE EVERYONE.

Both Abuja embassy and Lagos consulate are now giving dates(Surge) . All you have to do is send to All documents to the provided emails below:

ConsularAbuja@state.gov
LagosStudent@state.gov.

You won’t be writing epistles. Just write your subject of email and attach all documents then send. Wait for your approved date. That’s all

Best of lucks

Please must one submit the Sevis fee confirmation receipt with the documents? Because I have made the payment since monday and till now no confirmation mail, my payment status is still showing not paid

Give it a shot, you might be favored

Oyeyemidesign:

Give it a shot, you might be favored

Thanks. I have actually booked another date but its after resumption, please do I need to upload my APPOINTMENT form too as part of the document?

abdullahi45:


You will be fine. MSc will work just fine. You have got a good TOEFL score and a considerable GRE result. Do you have any publication from your UG?

Not yet, in touch with my supervisor though, trying to see if I can publish my project work

Please, how long can someone withhold an admission offer b4 it is canceled by the school. I am still waiting for the admission decision of other schools I applied to, and some may not come until January.

Chynwem:

Yes pls it’s part of the documents asked for but you can try your luck . You never can tell…

Motiqueen:


I got it alongside the acceptance letter.

Hi Queen, can i pm you concerning new haven. Thank you

emmanuelle27:

Kindly try to do that, it surely will strengthen your application. In the meantime, keep applying for any available opportunities. I have seen people get funding even without any publication. Another nugget is, try to always ask any program you are interested in for an application fee waiver. That will save you some cash and will surely amplify the number of schools you get to apply to.

Mog1457:
Good morning
Is there anyone who uses yahoo.com to schedule visa appointment apart from gmail.com

If you meant on the CGI portal. Yes! I used my yahoo email

This is what i see when I send my documents for surge date pls should I send this again because I don’t send my passport with the documents I sent
But I can see it’s auto reply sha

dlordy100:

Bro was it EA u used or u just sent ur docs to their email rather

Did both

I am printing the mail as confirmation as the appointment was not showing on my cgi portal and my mrv fee code wasn't valid when I put it in the cgi portal

HDwayne:
Hi there, pls I need to confirm if you got redirected to the cgi website to print an appointment confirmation or you’ll just print the email as confirmation?.

Josh56744:
Hello,

I read the News on punch via the link sent on the thread, for the Lagos surge and they stated it's for those wanting to renew their F1 visa.

I just applied for an ER on Monday on CGI Portal, I haven't got any response yet, I don't know if as a fresh F1 applicant, I can submit my documents too.

I appreciate any favourable response from anyone.

Thanks.

Yes, you can apply even as a fresh f-1 visa applicant.

Lilbaby23:




I will be printing the email as confirmation ooo.

Guys abeg, who knows if printing the visa surge approval email is valid as a visa confirmation page for the interview?

KokaEmpire:
Good day everyone, I'm a new member here,I had my interview on the 27th of July this year but got denied.
I want to reapply, I filled a new Ds-160 and they asked if I have been refused and to state the reason why..
What do you all think about my response?

Just say you were issued the 214b because you were not able to demonstrate your intent to pursue your F1 intent.

What has changed?

I was nervous and was not able to prove to the VO that I didn't have immigrant intent.

Femotech123:

It's fine. I got the auto reply at first too, and was later approved.
