Hello, please my ds-160 expired before my interview and I was told to file a new one and update it confirmation number on my visa profile but It didn’t give me an option to do any, not even the Visa information is going through, Saying not found.
Please what do I do ?
My appointment is the 24th of this month

You could call the embassy. They should tell you what to do, or even assist you in doing it...

Can someone please help me out and see if there’s correction needed here?

VO: why sociology?

Me: A degree in sociology will help me gain knowledge in creative marketing and communication skills that are highly demanded in the market. This degree will make me a thought leader in the business force. As I intend to return after graduation to start up my own businesses and secure a spot as a market research analyst, leveraging the skills that I gained during the program.

I think if you can get a document from the school approving the late resumption, it might help.

Me: I applied to 4 schools, University of…
VO: cuts in… How many admitted you?
Me: I got admitted in all 4

Omo.. this is crazy mehn. How can he even remedy this? Except he can reapply and hope to have a lenient VO.

I think it is just best to omit the information from the DS160 if you have siblings who went through F1

Putting your family on your ds160 when you know they went on F1 visa is a redflag. Moreover, i don't think they have any help they can render by putting them in terms of helping you get your green card, so why would anyone wants to complicate things fir themselves!

As ehn, add that particular information on your ds160 is so unnecessary and most people will say if you don't add them the Visa officer will know.
How will the visa officer knows something you didn't add in your profile. They work with the information on your ds160

Good evening house. Please I urgently need assistance on how to answer the below questions as part of my PhD
application process:

d. 500 words max What specific perspectives and abilities will you bring to the doctoral program that will help you succeed in it and make an important contribution to it?:

e. 500 words max: How will this doctoral program enhance your ability to lead change in and with your communities?



A. They are basically asking you to sell yourself. What are your strengths as a person and an academic and also your experiences that would help.

B. What benefits will you derive from the program. What will you do with the "doctoral degree" when you return. You can emphasize the aspect of going into academia and mentoring the new crop of individuals in your field.

Hope it helps.

Psychology played out well here though

All VO are well trained psychologist and you must know that
More reason majority depends on prayer and grace of God.

But to state the obvious, you shouldn't have add that info to your profile you had digested it properly and consult the right persons here.

Hello Guys.
Please I took an MPower loan, but I also have personal funding of about 7k. But my I-20 didn't capture that. Will it be a problem if I mentioned my personal fund during my interview?
Please I need answers. Thank you

No issue
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Swaycater(m): 11:52am On Jul 18, 2023
That's not my transcript, I just copied it from our group, the purpose is to educate people, disclosing the identity of his brother that lives in US who went with F1 visa and subsequently became a citizen is a red flag, omitting the information would have been the best thing to do.

ooh that's a lot tbh
first of all, i'd say he should lay his matter on God tbh with that kind of backstory denial will be very easy
and he should do some reviewing abi reflection on what caused the first denial cause most likely the ones that followed were because of the first. He already got the school acceptance so now he just needs to be prayerful on not give up yet in the "convincing the VO" part. Also, another thing he should start trying to get his story right about how he dropped out of school in 2019.
