Someone should help me on how to book interview.... It's given me error message...

Send a mail to support or call the customer care line

Ricost:
You are correct, but I wrote to the school and they agreed for an extension till 24th of January

24th January is too soon. They should be able to extend for at least 2 weeks. I got 3 weeks extension to February.

You will still need up to 2 weeks for passport recollection and flight booking from the day of interview p

crowniran:


Thank you sir. Again, My Status is reading "Awaiting materials" even tho I have completed all apps. Is that normal?

Depends on the school’s swiftness to action. Could be that they are on holiday. Sometimes you may need to wait for a few days for it to reflect otherwise you send a query mail to them.

Confirm your materials checklist to see what material they are still expecting. Often time, until they receive your official transcript from your previous school your material checklist may not be complete even after getting the admission

Only my i20 was requested. The officer asked me to sign my i20

So all airlines are asking for the vaccination card ? Or is there any one not asking ?

Airlines are asking for it

Please I noticed that most applicants here use universities instead of college. I have BSC from Nigeria and got I20 for Associate degree at portland community college.

Is using a college a red flag ?
Does the VO check academic progression ?.

Should I continue with the sevis payment and visa application ?

No, it is not a red flag.
Colleges are basically smaller forms of universities

Please where can I get vaccinated and get the card ?

At any Health Centre close to you

No. If you're sure you've submitted all required documents, kindly send an e-mail to the graduate school before the deadline.

SonugaMike:


At any Health Centre close to you

I mean are the vaccines readily available?

Also, how soon before I take the second dose

For those who have applied to the University of Pittsburgh and Northeastern University (Fall 2022), kindly pls let's connect.

V.O : I can see on your profile that you have a degree, why are you going for an associate degree in the US?'

You: ehm..........

V.O: I'm sorry, you do not qualify for a visa at this time ***passes green paper slip****

Yes. Academic progression matters. Going to college is like graduating from university and going back to poly for ND. You get it?

Hence: it's a clear red flag for your case.

Apply for masters instead

Good morning,

I would like to ask a quick question. I got admitted for my masters program with a tuition waiver and a research assistantship position (Fully funded program). However, I am not in Nigeria presently and would be applying from where I am in Europe.

I would be getting married soon and my spouse would want to apply for F2.

The question is she’s in Nigeria, I will not be applying from Nigeria so am confused how she’ll go about it because I want her to apply with me. Is there a way you can suggest I should go about it? I will appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you.

Ricost:

You aren't even married yet, and you already have an admission. Are you going to get married before resumption?.

Going for interview with your newly married wife within such short duration is kind of risky. It will look like you guys married just to be together in the US, my own opinion though. Wait and hear from others

Is your wedding before interview and are you getting married in Europe or Nigeria?
If your wedding is before the interview and she has a tangible thing she's doing in Nigeria that will prevent her from leaving with you to the US then she can apply with you.
Another one is you apply alone and she come to meet you. However, if you are both going together then you have to conclude on one place that either of you have strong home ties.

Best of luck

laddyboss:



Please

Have you been denied visa in the past 6 months?
If yes, that may be the reason. If no, then go through your DS160 and see what you may be doing wrong.
The email for EA is basically stating the date you have and the date you will start class then pleading for an early interview date just for you to meet up with your class. And you will also state how important it is for you to resume on campus early. Example, orientation, class registration, transition.

Best of luck

SirAbdullah69:
Pls can I use an E-Bank statement for my visa interview?

You need to show a hard copy if asked.

Best of luck

Well, I informed them that I I have to resume on the 13th, and the date that was given to be was too far. I didn't really say much but I uploaded my
F-1 form
Sevis is fee receipt
Visa application fee receipt
Admission letter
Passport

You will have to write your school and inform them about the situation on ground and request for an extension letter also. You will take the extension letter to the embassy for your interview.

Hi good morning, if you are getting married soon before your interview, and you won't be going back to Nigeria, I guess you both plan to have a distant wedding right? However, you stand a greater chance of getting the visa than her because of your location. I will advise you tell your wife to hold on and not apply now as your wedding might come off as emergency and plan to Japa to the VO. She can apply months later, at least 3 months later isn't a bad idea. All the best.
