mimini:

I am not seeing all these early dates for Abuja visa office. Are these dates for Lagos? Did you apply with Lagos Office?

Fortunia123:
Did you apply in the middle of a program? I want to leave a masters program in Germany to a better one in the US and I've scheduled my interview here in Germany but I don't know if that was a wise decision.

No. I applied after my program. I moved to another field entirely. There is no problem as long as you make full disclosure. The only challenge might be why you want to change from Germany to the US. Depending on the extent you have gone with your program in Germany, fashion a good answer. If it is still early in the program, you can claim that you are only attending the program in Germany pending when your offer comes out.

Interview Proper (By black American Woman)

F1: Good morning with a smile
VO: Good morning. Pass me your documents
F1: How are you doing today?
VO: Fine, thank you
VO: How old are you?
F1: XX years
VO: Have you travelled out of the country before?
F1: No. I have not had any reason to.
VO: What is your background?
F1: B.Sc in Chemical Engineering from Bleep University.
VO: What do you do for work?
F1: I work as a Project Engineer at Bleep. A fire safety Engineering and Consulting company
VO: How long have you been working in your current place of work?
F1: 3 years 3 months
VO: Why do you need this Masters?
F1: I need the Masters as a result of the Safety Project Manager vacancy that is about to be open at my current place of work due to the fact that the current Safety Project Manager will soon be transferred to the newly open branch outside lagos state.
So I discussed with my Engineering manager to express my interest in which he told me that I need to have the required skills and knowledge. And that is why I am going for this Masters program. (Note: my speech was incoherent here due to anxiety because she had already denied 3 people before me. I was number 4 on her queue).
VO: How do you intend to cover for your deficit?
F1: My mom and I will be covering my deficit.
My Mom in the person of Mrs. Bleep will be covering 70% of my COA. She makes a combined annual income of 45M.
VO: What does she do?
F1: She is one of the major distributor of Bleep products in Ondo State where she resides and also owns 20 hectares of Cocoa and Palm oil plantation.
VO: How much do you have to cover the remaining COA?
F1: I have a personal savings of 4.2M which I have saved over the 6 years of working and my company has also promised a 40% monthly paid study leave upon the approval of my Visa to support my living expenses throughout the duration of my program.
(Note: at this point, she told me to slow down that it seems I talk too fast? I said yes)
She then said let me get this straight. You mean your mom will be covering the larger part of your COA and you will be taking care of the rest? I said yes. And she said I will be approving your visa. Take this white paper and the rest was history.

I need help rescheduling my appointment, I go January 2024 date the first time I scheduled, I’ve been seeing people get earlier dates on here, I tried the cancelled page and it says”the earliest available slots is August 10” when I went back to the to the reschedule page the earliest date I saw is November 8, my question is do I have to cancel my appointment first before I can get earlier date ? Please I need your help guys

Teddiement:
No, you don't need to cancel to get an earlier date. Infact it is advisable that you never cancel.
I once had a similar experience. I'll see an early date on the cancel page, but by the time I get to the reschedule page, I'll get a different date.

Just exercise patience. Continue to check the cancel page. When you find a favourable date, get to the reschedule page ASAP, and you'll see the date right there steering at

I saw a July 5th 2023 date yesterday morning. So it is possible.

Emmymajesty:
Can I change from the Abuja embassy to the Lagos embassy, since my D-160 is showing Abuja.

Lastly, I was earlier refused under section 214b (within the last 6 months) and now no dates or calendar is showing in my account for weeks now for re-appointment purpose.

Please, how can I get appointment date before August 15th.
