Hey 🤠

If you don't get or use payslip in your organisation then you can use your bank statement as evidence but it will work only if YOUR SALARY IS BEING PAID DIRECTLY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT....Many organisation pays directly into accounts .

By the way ...How are you so certain that the CO (consular officer) will ask you this particular document ?

Are you not going for F1 visa ?


Best Wishes 🙏

Ebdumi:


I’m going for F1 , just want to have all documents incase.

Thanks my boss

NewBoyKhashoggi:



Hey 🤠

Concentrate the more on your DS 160 information and train yourself verbally to align what you will be telling the CO with your DS 160.

75% of the time , COs will not look at your documents , he or she asks you the first and second question s while looking at your DS 160 in front of him or her .

Naturally and especially for Bsc and MSc Applicants, even with full scholarships, PROOF OF FUNDS AND PROOF OF TIES as well as GENUINE INTENTION are the three bombs 😊 they use to decide your visa fate .

I have tried to pay the application fee via Paymytution fee but the payment is pending up ti now ,I have entered by details twice it’s still pending…. Application fee $50 Western lllinois university graduate program.

Kindly help me or you can send any useful information to my gmail/———- opeyemiadebogun@gmail.com

Hey 🤠

Proceed with the payment of your application fee . After payment, they will give you payment confirmation, as well as the admission submition acknowledgment. Print both documents out together with the bio data page of your International Passport and attach it to the email you will be sending to the international Admissions office of the school OR Your admission counselor (if you have been assigned one ) telling them to kindly use the date of birth in the bio data page .

Even , without you notifying them , they knows it's an error because your other credentials like waec etc and the bio data carries your exact DOB.... Therefore they follows ESPECIALLY YOUR PASSPORT BIO DATA INFO when issuing your Form I 20 .


Best wishes 🙏

NewBoyKhashoggi:

Hi,
Is it possible to get a closer date by paying for another MRV, and please how can I email you? Thanks


Hey 🤠



Stop disturbing yourself unnecessarily . You cannot do any magic again by joining any group except if that group want to SCAM you OR you buy another MRV. The only avenue for you to get a quicker or nearer date is via Emergency Request and you don't have the option again 🙄

YOUR BEST OPTIONS
=================

1. Buy another MRV if you are really determine to meet up with your January 5th resumption.

2. Defer your admission to Summer/Fall 2024 and get a new Form I 20, then attend your February 1st interview with the new I 20.

3. Ask your school to issue a late resumption letter to you officially , the letter will state that you will be arriving in March 2024. If your school agrees , print out the letter and insert it in your I 20, and attend your interview of February with your current I 20 . ( This is a gamble and it's risky ).

The ball has rolled into your court .

Appointment booked on Friday 8th December for 1st February 2024.

Regular reschedule on Saturday 9th December 2023. Was just lucky to see 12th available.

Lagos Consulate
First F-1 application
12th December 2023
❌ Denied
(40k funds. COA - 28k)
No scholarship
4 mins approx.

VO: Please come forward
VO: Good morning
M: Good morning, how's work?
VO: It's good
VO: Pass me your passport and I-20 please
VO: Types a while... Looks at I-20... Who's sponsoring your education?
M: said it - Elder sister
VO: What does she do?
M: She's a senior Medical D of Surgery at xx.
VO: How many siblings do you have?
M: I have 3 siblings, 2 males and a female.
VO: Nodded as though in approval.
VO: Ever traveled to any other country?
M: No, I've only been to the USA in 2018 for a competition with my coursemates and our Professor and returned after 4 days to complete my BSc.
VO: Types for long, 2 mins delay.
VO: Unfortunately, at this time, you do not qualify for a visa. This letter will explain the reason. Returns passport and I-20 with blue 221G.
M: Picked my documents and walked away. No questions asked!

Probably a funding gap issue but seen someone with 32k COA and 32k funds with no other funding approved. Guess it just depends on the VO. This particular VO wasn't looking at no one's face and wasn't as friendly as the others.

5 students denied prior. 1 student granted.

I'd recommend to try get funding - scholarships, GA, GTA, GRA or tuition waivers.

Denials were flying like paper including for B1/B2.

Naijalarry:


Which course are you going for.

Are there no Graduate Assistantships positions available in your program?

NewBoyKhashoggi:



Hey 🤠

If you have not been rejected an F1 within the last 6 Months (according to the embassy policy) then your emergency appointment as a first timer will be granted .

Don't rely on what you are hearing , everyone knows that the population of applicants going to Abuja are lesser than the Lagos Applicants, therefore , Abuja will grant your EA if you do the needful.

If you still have the emergency option in your CGI portal and you have not cancelled an appointment before , and you have a longer months ahead of your resumption, you may go ahead and cancel Lagos and pick Abuja.

1. Your SEVIS payment receipt with your I 20 are the two documents the embassy requires for emergency booking .


Best Wishes 🙏

mayford:


Thanks for asking.

MBA

Unfortunately, the GA positions are quite competitive and had been filled by the time I received acceptance letter (according to Int'l Admissions Coordinator). I applied late that's why but met every other deadline.

Victor6677889:
Good day house .

I have a question please, dose it make sense for someone with a HND ..going for bachelors degree

Or should I just say OND going for bachelors .

Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thank you

chimax1:


Hi,
Thanks so much for your inputs, unfortunately the sevis has still not reflected, and my school vacates for the holidays on Friday. In the event that it’s not uploaded and my school vacates, how will I get the confirmation? Am just trying to really stay positive. Paid the sevis fees since 1.12 😞😞.
I really hope I’ll even still get dates for EA.

NewBoyKhashoggi:



Hey 🤠

Yes it make sense if the bachelor's degree you are going for is based on genuine intention. For example , may be your office or place of work needs you to have a NEW DEGREE in a particular area .

Although , if your age is above 25, you will have to convince the CO (consular officer) your reason of going for this particular degree at this time and explain your gap years .

SUGGESTION ;

1. If the Bachelor's degree you are going for is genuine and based on change of career and you can proof to the CO (Consular Officer) your financial capability then GO AHEAD .

2. If your intention is not genuine but you just feel like using the option to visit America , and you are above the age of 25.... Well i will advice that you apply for short GRADUATE CERTIFICATE course with your OND or HND.

3. You may as well opt for B1/B2 (Visiting visa) and look out for a good conference or seminar .

Please ! Do everything in an appropriate and legal ways .


Best Wishes 🙏

Victor6677889:


Thank you so much , for your responses .

I really have genuine intentions thou about getting the BSC . And I have more than the COA , on my i20

Nashvin:
Visa approved.
Location: Abuja.

1st attempt: Denied in Lagos, Master’s in Health Services Research..., University of Minnesota, partial funding/GTA 9k, COA: 46K.

2nd attempt:
Program: Master’s in Applied Economics.
School: Illinois State University.
COA: $38k.
Graduate assistantship: $22k.
Deficit: $16k.

First, I want to thank the Almighty God for everything he has done. Special shout out to amazing personalities on this journey, @Fall2021 for helping me go through the DS160 form and for the encouragement on every step despite her tight schedule and @Abacinoo007. God bless you guys real good. They are testament that you cant go wrong with God on your side and having guides like them from my school application to visa approval has been nothing short of grace. Abeg, follow who know road.

And to everyone who has posted transcripts in the past to encourage people going through hard times due to delay(s). Thank you and God bless you all for guiding us with your testimonies.

The VO had denied about 4 persons before me. Heart pounding, confusion almost setting in cos some of those guys had funding with solid sponsors based on the audible conversation with the VO. I just started praying in Tongues. You know the drill for those who have been to the embassy before.

VO: Good morning.
Me: Good morning.
VO: Please pass me your documents.
Me: Here is it, please.
VO: what course are you going to study?
Me: I am going to study for a postgraduate degree in Applied Economics at Illinois State University
VO: Oh great (Looking at my DS160 form), what did you study for your first degree?
Me: Economics.
VO: what year did you finish?
Me: 2011.
VO: Why this course?
Me: The Applied Economics program differs from the traditional Economics which is focused on theory but rather focuses on data analysis, data interpretation, and data optimization which aligns with what I currently do and provides the opportunity for career advancement in attaining a Senior Research Management Position. If you look through my details, you will see that my career growth has been somewhat stagnant hence the need for this course.
VO: where do you work?
Me: I currently work as * * Associate with **** organization on a U.S.-funded project where I handle research and data analysis.
VO: Are you married?
Me: Yes.
VO: You have a child?
Me: Yes, please.
VO: I see you have a total cost of 38k, how do you intend to pay?
Me: Yeah, thank you. Aside from the full tuition waiver and GRA, I will be covering the deficit from my savings and funds in my wife’s account. We have an inherited hotel business, and she also works as a Lead on a U.S.-funded project.
VO: what will you be doing after your study?
Me: I will be returning to seek a Senior Research Management position in my line of work.
VO: Okay. Your application looks good. I will be approving your visa. He then issued me a white paper.
I did not hear anything else.

WHO DID IT? JESUS! Oh my God, Wow!
Please keep faith.
