Highzhikk: 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? 1 Like |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Highzhikk: 3:57pm On Sep 11 |
GboyegaD:No, I am still on F1 right now. I just thought there was an issue because he is coming to the same school. |

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 |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Jboyossai(m): 4:24pm On Sep 11 |
kennygeebee:Bro... how and when did you contact them because I have created a ticket for over a week and no response. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 4:48pm On Sep 11 |
Moonlightq: Hey 🤠 1. Go and sign up on AVITS, and create a ticket . Attach or quote your SEVIS fee, MRV , and Copy of your Form - I20 in the query/complaint. Best Wishes 🙏 |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by GboyegaD(m): 5:02pm On Sep 11 |
Highzhikk: 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. 2 Likes |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Highzhikk: 5:23pm On Sep 11 |
GboyegaD:I am on fully funded scholarship for my PhD so I didnt get any question about my sponsor at my own interview. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by GboyegaD(m): 5:48pm On Sep 11 |
Highzhikk: He should try again then. Perhaps, the visa officer just wasn't in his best mood. He should also desist from saying your dad has made over N100M this year alone. He should just talk about the line of business and unless he is asked he shouldn't mention. He shouldn't over labor things. |

Highzhikk: Hey 🤠 1. VO: What course did you study at undergraduate level ? Was his undergraduate program aligned with his MSc ? Or he chosed the school because you have or can facilitate the admission ? 2 VO: How will you cover the deficit ? His answer was given to impress or trick the consular. Short answer and straight to the point next time. Besides, is he single or married ? Is he working or still living with your parents ? 3. VO: Do you have anyone in the US ? Which School is he ? Are you going to same school ? Which program is he doing ? How long has he been in the USA ? When does he plan to leave ? The VO knows that you facilitated everything, but wanted to be certain that your brother is aware and at the same time he (your brother) knows what he is doing. You also have a VISA character question to answer because that question directed towards you is over emphasised by the VO. 4. VO: Did he (you) process this admission for you ? Answer = NO. This is where the VO caught both of you as being dishonest. Sense -3 above should have told your brother that the VO knew that you actually facilitated his admission and coming over to the USA, so why not let the VO knows the truth with genuine reason (s) ? 5. VO: When does he plan to leave ? Tactical or bait question. How did your brother knows when you are going to round off your PhD ? Even, you , I mean yourself cannot predict when you are going to finish because PhD graduation period is the most unpredictable. Therefore, the consular concluded that both of you have pre-determined 80% of his VISA application. Best Wishes 🙏 |

Moonlightq: 🤠 1. You have a double profile already . You knew this but just keep dribbling nairalanders. Be honest next time sir. 2. Your last resort is to keep talking to the USA Embassy help-desk. They will sort it out for you. I know five applicants with locked accounts that were rectified. https://www.usvisaappt.com/visa/country?country=NG 🙏

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 9:00pm On Sep 11 |
Ayomide98: 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 🙏 |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Cutiemercie(f): 2:16am On Sep 12 |
Hello everyone, I need some advice. I applied for a B1/B2 visa (I was denied) in 2019 and mentioned having a relative in the US. Now, I'm applying for an F1 visa in 2024 and I'm worried about how to answer the question about having family members in the US. I want to avoid any potential red flags. Should I say: A) I have no family members in the US and that all my immediate family members are in Nigeria? Or B) I have no family members in the US, but add that the person I had in the US some years back has since passed away in 2020 due to COVID-19 ? I’m a Lawyer btw and I’m applying for Master of Laws. I didn’t apply to schools in the state he lived in some years back. I purposely applied to schools that are far from his city. Also, we don’t bear same surname. @OyoTunjiUSA and others. Please help me decide which approach is best. |

Just relax they will reply, mine took more than a week before they reply to it, it will take some time before the migration process will blow over. Jboyossai: |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Estherr1: 6:33am On Sep 12 |
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?😭 |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by kharemorgan: 11:02am On Sep 12 |
Ayomide98:. What's the name of the school? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 1:22pm On Sep 12 |
Estherr1: 🤠 1. Fill another DS-160, and on the day of your interview go with the old and new DS-160s. If there would be " Update Profile " option in your new profile prior to your VISA appointment, you will update it and print out another appointment letter , otherwise, attend your interview like that but with both new and old DS-160s. 🙏 |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Joelomijie: 1:31pm On Sep 12 |
As far as you haven't paid if its showing duplicate users found you can delete the whole account and create a new account with a different email |

Please I have a friend who have HND in Business Administration, and has been into photography for years, he is planning to use the study route to enter the US, what school will accept HND for MSc or program that will be suitable for him to do. I await your responses. @OyoTunjiUSA |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Ayomide98: 4:48pm On Sep 12 |
@shueld06 and other Lagos folks Any update from “Preapproval request”? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Shueld06: 5:01pm On Sep 12 |
@OyoTunjiUSA, is it true that having funding (maybe full funding) can help an F-1 visa interview and can sometimes make your application look good in the front of the VO? How can one ask for this funding from ur school ? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Sholex96: 7:19pm On Sep 12 |
I’m having the same issue I made payment at first bank two weeks ago 29th of august for visa fee and when ever I impute my ammentun reference number it says bank details updated successfully but it doesn’t take me to the next step to book an appointment. I’v been stuck here for over two weeks . I sent a mail to support but no response after I created a ticket . I even tried calling but they hardly pick up calls. I’ve been to first bank 5 times on this whole issue . They said the issue is from us embassy not them . |
