Oabayomi24:


Please can I have your WhatsApp number, I have a question I would like to ask you sir? Thanks �.

luminouz:


Jan 4th 2023 is ok na.

This dude said he saw Jan. 2024!!!!

What can he do? Mail/call?

chibertha:
He didn't state that his brother is in the USA that's why.
When he supplied that information then I believed him.
15k is small money if you are making it here in the states. judging from what I made in my last summer internship.

realogk:


Wow anywhere to get cheap ones ?

iseoluwa89:
Good afternoon all,
Please is it possible to get a GRE waiver from a school that states it as part of their requirements? If yes, please how do I go about it and if otherwise any recommendation of schools with GRE waivers for Phd prog.

Thanks

Monaboo:

Kingcescy:

My Visa appointment for January in Abuja just got cancelled. I rescheduled for Lagos and got a July 2023 date which I can’t work with is as I have spring 2023 admission but I can’t find the tab where i can apply for emergency please I need help. The tabs are all gone I can’t even cancel the appointment or even reschedule it.

Terry27:

Nne, biko where you do your last summer internship because 15k per month is no small money even if you are earning in dollars. And I can confidently tell you, most companies in the US won't pay a summer intern up to 15k per month.

AyoPrudence:


I'm a little curious here. Are you talking Naira or Dollars here?

Ajoself:

Reset your password. If that doesn't resolve the issue call us embassy, they would refresh your portal.

Najdorf:
If a school gives you admission around March what's the earliest date you can get an interview?

I don't want to end up deferring.

Terry27:



Try google flights or Priceline and compare the cost of different flights.

Cent4190:
I will be having my interview on the 20. Please if you have any group for interactive questions do well to add me up. You can also share your experiences with me
Thanks, wish me luck

[Hello everyone,

I had my interview today at US Lagos embassy and my visa was denied instantly without asking questions.

The transcript went like this:
VO: (immediately she saw my I-20) who’s sponsoring you?
Me: My uncle, he’s the CEO of …. They manufacture window blinds and aluminum windows for government and non government entities
VO: what do you do?
Me: I work as a business development executive with so so company.
VO: how much do you earn?
Me: I earn so so amount

VO: I’m sorry we can’t issue your visa

I was like dumbfounded because she didn’t ask about school and all that.

What did I do wrong?

Before the interview started, the person I did my finger print was already like “my passport photo is more than 6 months, bring a new passport when next you come” like she already knew I was going to be denied. Mind you, I took the passport photograph in April and I filled ds-160 in August/September

I also attached my I-20 to this comment, please view it and revert back what could go wrong.

I’m also trying to get in contact with Lagosismyhome. If you see this, kindly drop a contact I can reach you on.

Thank you as I will be waiting for everyone response

mayor2013:


Look at your i20. Answers to your questions are in there. You even said it’s your uncle that is sponsoring and you presented family funds as your proof of funds. My brother you complicated your matter

Hi Kenhal,

I understand how you feel about your visa refusal and I can totally relate. It may be easy to judge from the whole transcript you wrote here and the I-20 you presented, however, I believe there is much more to it than that. Factors like how confident you were when answering their questions, maintaining eye contact, giving the right information based on what you filled in your DS-160, and much more. Another thing is, did you get a chance to attend mock sessions or ask the intellectuals here to test your level of preparedness before setting out for the interview? Did you practice your response with people and genuinely ask for their input on your performance? Also, did you get help with filling out your application form correctly? These are just a few things I can point out, and I hope you get your approval on your next try.

#Goodluck

@All

I just think i should drop this here hope it helps those looking for an appointment


It appears that Abuja is opening a small number of dropbox opportunities every day. Just to note, from the way they seem to be managing their appointments, it appears that everyone has an equal chance to obtain an appointment whether they use a visa agent or not. In short I would encourage you to save your money and to make your own appointment without using an agent if you qualify for Abuja's interview waiver.
