Well, I guess it works sometimes. Just saw this on Reddit from a nepalis who gave his f-1 interview in India cuz there were no appointment in Nepal at that time. And he was actually approved.

But then, most people online , quora, reddit advised against visa shopping as they claim it’ll most likely lead to denial

CC: Biglyanga, OyoTunjiUSA, I can see you differ on this too, just like me, so I thought of copying you. Go through the screenshot, what do you guys feel about it?
I dont have any contrary opinion in regard to getting your visa from another country other than your country of citizenship and residence…

But you still have to prove strong home ties to your country. Different requirements for visa renewal.

Hello please, I am finding it hard to get universities for fall 2025, I am interested in public health at masters level and I do not want to apply through SOPHAS.

Will be glad if anyone can suggest universities that are easy to apply to. Thanks

You are the biggest fool I have ever encountered. “H” factor or not, sense is not in your empty skull. Reply as usual because I have time, you birdbrain nincompoop!

If you were as successful as you claim to be in the US, you wouldn't be here bragging about nonsense. I've followed this thread and noticed you write like the dimwit you are. Just because others have a different opinion on a subject doesn't warrant you insulting them.

Nobody forces you to give advice on NL, so shove your egotistical arrogance where it belongs: in the trash!
You are beneath me you irritant peasant.

You’re beneath me. You were literally begging people to like you IG post of you looking like an IDP resident.

Because you escaped Nigeria in 2020 still scrambling for a roommate lol.

Got my first degree in 2008. You were probably still in high school grin

Bosses,

This back and forth has been going on for at least three days. Trading deeply personal and condescending insults is not necessary regardless of where you live (Nigeria or U.S) or what you or may not have accomplished. It is frankly very juvenile. Based on the year some of us graduated from college, we are likely to be in our thirties and forties. This is not a good look at all!

Nobody needs this and it is derailing the purpose of this thread. We can all agree to disagree about applying for visas in Nigeria or outside Nigeria, proving home ties or not proving home ties, funding vs. no funding etc., without resorting to the type of language that has been exchanged over the past couple of days.

Bro, I've a question, please while filling your F1 visa form, what are you supposed to write as intended arrival date? I used the resumption date on the form I20 as the intended arrival date? Is it advisable? What do you think is the right date to use.. thanks..

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Leftrightcenter: 4:54am On Apr 02
I doubt if your deposition to the question is a major concern. However, you can put any date between earliest admission date and program/school start date, preferably any date one to two weeks before program start date.
Greatkenny2:
Hello guys, please what should we put as "intended date of arrival" when filling F1... Is it the actual date the program starts or another, probably few weeks to the date? There's also "earliest admission date" on the I-20 Please what date should we use?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Mjosh1000(m): 7:25am On Apr 02
I filled out the visa form close to two weeks now, but no update or email yet approving me to start checking out interview dates

It is supposed to take this long before I get a response or something else is wrong.

Hey 🤠

1. Now every one knows you are here because of me based on your last words and i knew your mission is to come and support @fearlessfang in the beginning.

2. Go away with your fake visa transcripts. It doesn't work for me . I have never flex muscle of travel histories. Its not a criterion for becoming a USA visa advisor or counselor.

3. I have worked as an apprentice under 3 different USA Visa Attorneys . I am still learning (correspondence program) Educational Psychology/Guidance and Counselling. I have worked personally as a travel agent (based on USA visa only) with offices for more than 15 years before i gave it up.

4. I am now an International Admission & Visa Consultant (Based on USA visa types alone). I am also a registered apprentice under a USA based Immigration Attorney. ** My plan is to become an American Immigration Attorney when i finally relocated .

5. Therefore , tell @fearlessfang, @Debieeeeeee and others of your click that my experiences is not based on having a USA visa or living inside USA.

6. I work online. With phones and laptops. I am constantly online because of businesses and courses. I have the time to use Nairaland as a training ground . Why are you counting the number of my responses?


Best Wishes 🙏

Hi Nairalanders,

I got my Visa fee around October last year (2023) and scheduled my appointment for Feb 2025.

Does that mean my MRV receipt is still valid till the date choosen or not ?

I'm asking this question because it's duration is a year and am somehow confused.

Hoping to see early date thou.

I applied to the schools below and till now, I am yet to receive any response from any of them.

New Mexico State University
University of Wisconsin Milwaukee
Portland State University
Wayne State University
University of New Mexico


However, I have received breakfast cry from 2 schools and I am really wondering what's delaying these other schools that are yet to ive any form of response.

Any one here applied these schools or know what the issue could be?

Hello, guys. Does anyone know if GTB has updated the visa fee price? The last time I checked, it was 333,000 naira. Since they last updated it on March 1, I was thinking that they might do the same on April 1 and adjust it to fit the current exhange rate.

Hoping to hear from y'all. Thanks.

Hi please I will be glad to get your opinions on this issue. I am. Ghanaian and I'm married. I am in my early 30s. I got my b1/b2 visa in 2023. The reason of the first visit was for a conference. I indicated I will be spending 10days in my ds-160 form however I spent 3 weeks thats 21 days. I later on in the year went to the uS in December same year for the Christmas and New year holidays. For that I spent 4 weeks.
At the time I was entering the US for the second time I had already received admission for law program from two schools. But I still returned after my vacation and came back to apply for my F1 Visa. Here in Ghana you can use dropbox to change from b1/b2 visa to f1 which I did because I still have a valid us visa for four more years remaining.
I have a full tuition scholarship of $45,000 but i and my father are sponsoring the remainder of my other living expenses, fees and books which amounts to $26,000.
But when I did the dropbox the embassy asked for only my I-20 with no other supporting documents to be attached whether admissionor scholarship letter. Two weeks after the submission I received a refusal under 221g asking to schedule a follow-up interview.
Please I would like to find out what possible questions I should prepare for and if there's any red flag in my history I should prepare for.

I have a good job and good educational history. I already hol dan MBA from Ghana and I truly attended a conference, I have attendance certificate to back my claim.
Kindly help me with any Contribution

Hi! Write to each of the schools and inquire about the status of your application, it does not hurt!

Reasons for a post-IW 221g in-person interview include questions about your previous U.S. visits so be ready to discuss your two previous visits and the reason for your stay.

They may also want some more financial information from you given that you have a deficit of $26K. Ensure that you have paperwork for the $45K scholarship as well as bank statements and other financial documents that prove that you and/or your dad can foot the deficit comfortably. Consular officers do not always look at these documents but it is better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.

They may or may not ask but be prepared to discuss why you chose the law program and how the degree may benefit your career. Good luck!
