Fall2021:
I used Lapour hotel. Excellent customer service.

Tyleet:


Thank you, man. I'd just keep the July date I received and use it for next fall. I will defer my admission to next fall. I believe I don't need to pay another visa fee, right? All I'd have to do is fill another ds-160, and update my profile with the new confirmation number. Is this correct?

VO: Good Morning, How are you?
ME: I'm fine thank you.
VO: Your documents...
ME: I passed them.
VO: What was your undergrad program?
ME: Animal Production and Health.
VO: Have you worked in this field?
ME: I am not currently working but I have worked in this field before. (I didn't get the question at first. Thought he asked if I was currently working)
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
ME: Three (3)
VO: Why did you choose this School?
ME: They have a concentration that I am very much interested in which is Integrated Animal Health Systems cause I am passionate about Animal Health.
VO: What would you do with this Agricultural degree?
ME: I intend to apply for a lecturer II position at the University where I graduate, ...where I had my first degree. Basically, I want to grow up the Academic ladder to become a professor like my Mom.
VO: What does your father do? (Cause he must have seen on my I-20 that my father is my sponsor)
ME: He is a Clergyman and the founder of a Ministry. He has been running it for over 30 years now.
VO: Alright, you are qualified...I will be keeping your passport...come collect in a week... congratulations. (He passed me a white paper. I couldn't process most of the other things he was saying).

PS: Though I prepared to give extensive answers, I gave short and straightforward answers because I observed him being impatient with those giving long answers and beating about the bush.

Thank you Nairaland. I joined in this month and you have been tremendously helpful. I'm grateful.

Tyleet:


What reasons did you give?

SonugaMike:


DM me for the details, your alternative is to try to fill another day-160 then try to update if they will allow you another EA otherwise you will have to pay another fee for a fresh application and another EA

Systrom:
You can still get emergency
They denied a friend of mine 3 times and he got the emergency request approved at a 4th attempt, after giving up.

Have you been denied visa before?

Tyleet:
I applied for EA in Lagos, it got denied. I filled another de-160 and applied for another EA in Abuja yesterday and I got an email now that it has been denied again. Please what’s all these? Why is this happening? What exactly am I supposed to do differently? Why is the embassy doing this to us? After all the struggle to get admission, funding, etc, I can’t even schedule an appointment for a visa interview. This isn’t fair at all.

Tyleet:

I was denied a visa in July. Could that be the reason? I’m wondering if there’s anyone here who was once denied a visa and got approved for EA? So far, all I’ve seen are first time applicants.

Systrom:
How much per night ?

lokoventurex1:
Good day good people.

Please guys advice. I now have an admission for my graduate studies for Fall 2022. My I-20 form has also gotten to me and it reads August 22 as program starting day.

When is the best time to apply for visa ?

And do I go about it, from SEVIS fee payment, MRV and the rest ?

Help a brother bikonu...

Tyleet:

How many times did he pay mrv fee?

Systrom:
once

He did not cancel or reschedule

He just kept on submitting emergency requests until Grace shined on him and he was spruced for 13th January

Tyleet:


Wow, I also would not have cancelled, but I learned on here that you need to cancel first. Was he ever once denied a visa like me before applying for EA or he was a first time applicant?

UmmZayd:


Congratulations
Next is to apply for visa by feeling the ds160, paying for visa and choosing a date. Since you will resume August 2022, you can choose normal regular date in Abuja and safe stress of having to apply for an expedited appointment. SEVIS fee can be paid by someone in the US already so you can ask your friends or families over here to help you pay.

Best of luck.

Systrom:
He was denied on the 3rd of May. 7 months 18 days ago

Tyleet:

So, could it be that the first three times he got denied for an EA, it wasn't up to six months yet after his visa refusal, then he got approved for an EA when it was up to six months.

Systrom:
Not could it be. That’s it

That’s the reason

He got it approved when it entered 7 months of visa denial

Kiiishiii:


I think the problem might be instate tuition waiver. How did you get the tuition waiver? Who is a resident of that state that made you get the tuition waiver? Again you make it sound like you went for the school cause you didn’t have the money to fund yourself.

yunqdady:
So a PR can't sponsor his sibling? Denial?

fantabulous08:
Hello people!

I got my EA denied in Lagos yesterday and I reapplied to Abuja yesterday. Today, I got an approval mail so I proceeded to rescheduling, However, the first option was Jan 14th I picked it because I had no choice. My school resumes January 7th and classes begins January 12th.

Please, is there anything else I can do? Maybe getting a support letter from my school to take along to the embassy? Thank you

dubsy20:


Please who can help with the modalities of paying the SEVIS fee with western Union in the US, as some was told they cannot pay for someone else when they got to the WU office.

Chairperson:
Quickly, can someone recommend a good hotel near the consulate in Abuja? Thanks

They are asking of what has changed in terms of your profile. It could be a change of school or course, or source of funding, marital status etc.

Emergency Appointment applied to Lagos Dec 4th, was denied on the 15th of dec. Immediately, I filled a new ds-160 choosing Abuja. Then I went back to my old ds-160 to update it.
After updating it, I applied for regular appointment in Abuja and immediately applied for EA on the 17 Dec and request approved today 20 Dec.
