🤠

1. When you asked the question, i responded (go back to your post) that you can actually use it but with strong reasons in the case you are facing a hard-line consular officer.
Meanwhile, is it even worth mentioning? Encouraging laziness or putting A in the place of Z because it is permissible?

2. Your brother was not denied because he mentioned that he has a brother (you) in the USA. Are you a criminal or committing crime in the USA? So, how will mentioning his family residence caused a VISA denial ?
INA 214b denial slip will keep you suggesting various denial reasons, so alight from that fallacy trailer.

3. Your brother in summary, failed to convince the consular of his genuine intention, post study plans etc, and might have displayed a braggart or over-confidence mien which is slightly reflected in your post above (eg he has his own 70% scholarship and we have a strong bank statement).

4. F1-VISA issuance is not a respecter
of billionaires or celebrities, it's a respecter of its own rules & policies. I have the inclination that, that was not the only question he was asked but that's a by-gone.

5. A genuine F1-VISA applicant , after denial should apply immediately, once he or she is able to detect the undoing, but your DS-160 information even says more than 70% of your decision to the consular. Ask him to post his genuine transcript so that people can guide him.

But what can i do cause its already late, my i20 is carrying her name with some other documents. Pls what can i do pls help me my interview is close by. And pls if they is any other group where i can practise with people who also have sn interview this month and next month
If you can get your parent to sponsor you, send their statement to your school and they will reissue you another I-20.
You can wait for other people's opinion

Highzhikk:
Okay guys. I am the one that posted that “Can you use Lagos DS160 in Abuja” — the answer is Yes, you can because my brother did that today.

He interviewed in Abuja with the DS160 that he filled for Lagos. His visa was denied though because he mentioned that he has a brother in the US (Same school). I am currently doing a PhD in the same school that he is coming. The only question he got asked is *Do you have anyone in the US and where are they* which he answered truthfully as advised. He got his own 70% scholarship and we have a strong bank statement but was still denied.

I think its because I am in the same school, do you guys think he should reapply for the visa or what can he change?

GboyegaD:


I do not think they denied him solely because of that. Have you used any public resource and are you currently in the process of changing your status from F1 to other immigrant status?

kennygeebee:
They have replied and they said this " We apologies for the inconvenience. We are still in the process of migration, please you need to wait until the migration successfully completed and try to log in again and verify your information. Thank you, U.S Visa Support "

Good afternoon guys
No reply still hasn’t sent me an email to login the new visa app website, I had an appointment scheduled for 3rd September 2024, I wanted to reschedule before this whole change of website. Although I called the embassy customer care and they said I should be patient they are going to send me the link to login. I’ve called them twice now still the same story , even told them my interview was scheduled for 3rd September that I wanted to reschedule, I also asked them that if I don’t appear for the interview on the 3rd does it mean I would have to pay another fee, she said no that it would appear as NO SHOW and I would have the opportunity to reschedule once am able to access my portal as long as I haven’t exhausted my rescheduling options
Please guys what should I do now it’s over 1 week now I haven’t still received the link

@oyoTunjiusa

Highzhikk:
No, I am still on F1 right now. I just thought there was an issue because he is coming to the same school.

GboyegaD:


I just read the transcript. One quick question, do your stories on your father's business line aligns? Since he must have mentioned you in this DS160, there is a possibility the visa officer reviewed the excerpt of your transcript.

I would suggest he reapplies. 70% scholarship is quite high and worth trying again for.

Highzhikk:
I am on fully funded scholarship for my PhD so I didnt get any question about my sponsor at my own interview.

OyoTunjiUSA:

@OyoTunjiUSA
As regards your first answer here, in my case, I am going for MSc that is not related to my undergraduate, my choice for MSc is fueled because it’s related to the field of career I have been a professional for the past 5 years…
Studied Botany and Biotechnology in undergraduate but going for MSc in Computer Science because I have been a professional software developer for the past 5 years

Do you think this could be a barrier?

And moreover, the school that admitted me saw all these and I had entrance test and interview with a professor in the dept which I passed and even secured me about 80% funding of my COA.

What do you you think about my case.

OyoTunjiUSA:



Hey 🤠

1. Your first degree can be a BA in Yoruba language, while your intending graduate degree in the USA is MA in Igbo language, and you can even decide that your PhD will be in Hausa. This is permissible, as there is no irrelevant courses of study in higher institutions. But, there must be a reasonable and genuine reasons for career/study path diversion or digression though.

2. As per @Highzhikk's cousin situation, the consular officer have studied his DS-160 , plus he has a strong magnet (relative) in America, and having caught him verbally, therefore, the consular will be looking for all tiny or flimsy excuses to deny him. Even, taking Lagos filled DS-160 to Abuja for interview is a good excuse to deny him in such scenario.

Your case is totally different. PS: Consulars must jot down their reasons for denying or approving an applicant. That is what you see them typing on the computer.


Best Wishes 🙏

Jboyossai:

Bro... how and when did you contact them because I have created a ticket for over a week and no response.

Good day guys

I didn’t change my DS-160 number before the migration to a new website. Presently, the number there is incorrect and I’ve been unable to update it on the new website. Raised a ticket but I haven’t received a reply yet and my Visa interview is close. Please what can I do?😭

Dot1:
Please help me here. I made payment for visa interview at a First Bank branch on Friday. According to Avits, I was supposed to go back after 24 hours to pick a date for my interview. However, every time that I go to their website to put my deposit slip number, I am getting an error message that; "Given payment receipt number doesn't exist". I have already submitted a support ticket. I am not sure when they would respond. Has anyone ever been in this situation before? How did you resolve it or what do you suggest I do? Thanks for your help
