My people I need your help to make this decision or anyone that passsed through the same experience from a third country. You can Kindly see my 1st attempt transcript that I posted here some weeks back, Since my first attempt denial here in Abu Dhabi, I have been thinking of re-applying in Naija since Home-tie is the issue. Not until today I saw this guy's post on Facebook who was in the situation. He was denied twice here in UAE Not until He went to His Home Country and He got approved. Kindly see the attached screen shot of His Post.

Now my question is, Do you think I aslo have a better chance for my second attempt if I re-apply in Naija or I should just stick to Abu Dhabi here?

What Consulate you think I should go to? Lagos or Abuja?

Can I use my Bank statement from my bank here in UAE for naija?

What is closest date for refusal slot in Naija?

Thank you so much in Advance

Denc:


The outcome of one's visa application is independent of another. Each application is treated on it's own merit. Nevertheless, applying in one's home-country aids in addressing the home-tie criterium per non-immigrant visa

Abuja was calmer years ago (compared to Lagos). If that's still the case now, then do Abuja.

Yes.

Before thinking of closest date(s), the visa refusal happened just days/weeks ago, why not pause to carefully plan for the next the application and interview as the visa officer(s) would looking out for substantial change when the re-application is made?
(School admissions can be deferred, that also gives one time to seek funded admission ... why rush to the US to spend own funds to acquire a certificate that does not guarantee recouping the expense? Even US nationals struggle to get desired jobs/preferred means of income.)

KarisNech:
Please house, I need your advice or input.

Among these universities, which of them have more visa approval rate?

2. University of Houston PhD Fully Funded

3. University of Alabama PhD Fully Funded

Thank you

knostbrown01:
Good afternoon men and women of the same course,

I want to inquire about 120.

I have gotten a 120 for PhD at ucf with no funding and the source of my funding is family, however, another institution(Purdue university) gave me admission to MSC with little funding.

Can I still request an I20 from the new institution and use it to apply for a Visa?

Thank You.

Tender344:
I’m curious . I can see that people going to resume for fall 2024 can actually start attending visa interview a year in advance. However, if there are no near dates, can one still apply for expedited appointment in this case?

Debbieeeeeee:

I think if your resumption is not 60 days away they won’t grant you expedited (this was the rule as of 2022/2023) but I think a trial won’t hurt they just may grant you. When I checked the wait time for Lagos I saw 63 days and 31 days for Abuja but then I saw someone here who said there are no dates till September in Abuja so confusion set in.

Tender344:


What do you mean by wait time? Do you mean the time one has to wait before he get a reasonable interview date?

Ajoself:
Hello,
Any idea on how to pay for my application fee on OUAC application?
Please deadline in 31st January.

PANDORIAMEDIA:
also please always try to get your interview dates earlier in the year when new visa quotas are just out like from february till august is a good time as the year decline the visa quotas are very low so visa refusals are high if you look on here too you will notice a lot even of end of the year applications get refused a lot. applications in the ember months liker october down to december gets declined a lot. but ven as at that if you follow the visa guidelines carefully you can still be among the few that gets visa approval during this ember months.

Legacy911x:
Please anyone heard anything about interview appointment dates availability? It’s more than 3 months now since my first denial and till now I haven’t secured an appointment date. Anyone experiencing same thing?
