Good day everyone I hope this message finds you well. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and advice on the matter outlined below:

Profile:
First Class Graduate in Economics
GRE Score: 322
TOEFL Score: 103
I am considering pursuing a Master's degree in Economics or a related field and would welcome recommendations for universities that offer substantial funding or scholarships.

Thank you in advance for your time and insights.

Best regards

Check University of North Texas, Denton, TX. A few Nigerians have gone through the program and I think you stand a very good chance of getting admitted with funding.

Hello everyone please was anyone scheduled for today at the Abuja embassy they cancelled all interviews and said we’d be rescheduled but I haven’t gotten any email from them yet if anyone knows how to go about this please reply

* Go to Living in the USA section for your future question (s).

1. Your visit to DHL and OIS was like a student with beautiful school uniform , but who is not officially registered at the principal office.

2. DHL is still working with the USA embassy but on - Pay as You Work basis. OIS has replaced DHL as the main drop -off/Pick -up representative.

FIRST.

* Tract your VISA status here.

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=NIV

SECONDLY

* VISIT AVITS and sign up

https://www.usvisaappt.com/visaapplicantui/login

*. Then raise a ticket (complain message) by attaching your VISA pick up slip in the message .

THIRDLY.

* Go to OIS website and sign up and book pick up appointment with your passport information, as well as your VISA pick up slip & Tracking printout.

** Your Passport must have been returned to the embassy by DHL, while the embassy might have redirected it to OIS but you don't have any account. No AVIT profile , no OIS profile.

** Call the embassy help line for final instruction.

🙏

Hello I have a follow-up question
So now is it safe to select DHL on choosing a pickup location? I see the option is still there when I booked my appointment

🤠

1. The following DHL locations are available to choose from , as Drop/Off locations, and vice versa , should be available for Pick/Up, but via paid services:

DHL
Lagos
Kaduna
Ibadan
Enugu
Benin
Akure

OIS
Kano
Port Harcourt

* You have to go through your selection via OIS website.

I read her comments and I think her case might be that her payment hasn’t been verified, perhaps she’s still stuck at that payment page.
If not she would have been able to book date, I don’t think Abuja keeps anyone for more than two days on preapproval

Blackfinegirl:


Yes

You’re still on the payment page?

Or

you have your portal says “Preapproval request is being processed”?

Acknowledging this might not be the right thread to post this, but looking to get assistance from interview experts on this thread. My friend lives in the UK with her husband and applied for a B1/B2 visa and was rejected at the first try. Can anyone advise on what she did wrong and possibly recommend areas of improvement in her next interview? Thanks 😊

Please someone should help me out oo. My US immigrant visa was issued since Aug.22nd. I have gone to DHL Lagos for passport collection. They said they are no longer working with Embassy that I should check with OIS. I have gone to OIS four different times and they said my passport is not with them. I have made calls to Lagos Embassy they keep directing me to use the Visa Navigator to get the answers to my questions. This is no longer funny😟

The document handling is currently a mess. OiS will not inform you to pick up. And I think you are being given outdated information.


This is where I booked my own pick up but the link is currently broken.

The Pay4Me app is working fine. I paid my Sevis fee with them. You can reach out to their support team if you’re having issues with the app.

Hello everyone.. please I just got Admission for masters in the USA for January 2025 intake term.. please what’s the next step and how do I go about Prof of funds? I’m really confused I need a plug please.

Good afternoon everyone

Please I have a question and I would really appreciate everyone’s input, my husband traveled to Canada on a study permit on August 2023, he’s studying a two years course and currently in his second year, since the end of SWOP for diploma student we have been searching for the best way to join him over there, we have a 9 months old son.
We have decided to submit a visitor visa for both my son and myself, we used my Dad as sponsor with a bank statement of over 600 million naira, sitting balance of 18 million and my husband’s 6 months pay slip from his job in Canada, as proof of funds, I personally don’t have any substantial Money in my account and I’ve only been using my OPay account for about a year now, so we are planning to use an investment certificate I have stating that the investments proceeds will be deposited into my account at a later time, while including it in my statement of purpose that I will submit my bank statements when I get the investment
So my question is
1. Should I submit my OPay bank statements
2. Is an investment certified enough for my personal proof of fund?

Thank you

Following.

On a serious note o, what do we do from here?

OyoTunjiUSA, if we fill a new DS 160, choose Abuja this time instead of Lagos, how do we cancel the first ds160, and booking portal? Or what to do in this case? Could we just take both ds160 to the interview assuming we get an interview date in Abuja?

Hey 🤠

1. On the day of your VISA interview, your assigned consular officer will open your electronic VISA application ( DS-160) , with the confirmation number of any DS-160 tendered by you. For example, if you have filled and submitted 100 DS-160s, and on your interview day, you tendered number 50 out of the 100 pieces of the confirmation printouts, that (number 50) is what the consular will use to open your VISA application and ask you questions based on what you filled on number 50. All other numbers of DS-160s are useless.

2. Just be certain that, if your interview location is Abuja, then your DS-160 has to be Abuja oriented. In this present scenarios, you have to attend your interview with both old DS-160 and the new one. Don't worry about how to cancel the old one in your portal.

* Another strategy is , after chosen another location and filling another DS-160 to match, you can use both confirmation to create a ticket , perhaps the AVITS can do the auto update , so that by the time you reprint another Appointment letter, it will carry the new DS-160 number. This is just my idea , not official pls. You can attend your interviews by stopping on number 2 idea.


Best Wishes 🙏

1. How did you prove proof of funds (POF) , before your Form- 120 was issued ? Or do you have full fundings ?
If none of these has happened ,then i don't think you have any Admission. Perhaps just an acceptance notice.

* Reveal your actual situation so that people can guide you appropriately.

Do regular visit visa. You are allowed to join him as a dependent on a visit visa. Just ensure your money is more than the minimum for a dependent wife and child.
