Good day guys...I'm going to the embassy very soon and I was wondering if they accept bank investment papers as financial documents. That's what my dad provided.

No i don't think so

Dear nairalanders. My time to apply for a U.S visa has come too. And i need some help. I have a lot of questions.
1. Please can anyone provide me with a summary of the process to apply for the visa. I've been filling my DS 160 online (not yet submitted) but im on the last page.
2. After that I learnt I should schedule my visa interview and pay my SEVIS fee through western union.
3. How do I pay for my visa interview. Can I pay in any bank. And for example say I pay on a monday, what is the earliest date of interview I can get.

IM APPLYING FOR A STUDENT F1 VISA. Thanks.

Dont rush to fill the ds160, take you precious time to review it very well and you can submit it 24 hours to your interview.

Go to Gtbank with your International passport or photocopy and pay the visa fee.. You can get any date available when you check.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 7 by akin3102(m): 11:34am On Jun 08, 2015
Please how can someone wait till the interview date since the confirmation number is needed to book for interview.

If it is ds160 confirmation code, just go to www.ceac.state.gov , click on non-immigrant and fill the rest to the section of where you will insert your passport number and save it so that you can retrieve it back within 30 days after you saved it

First interview at Abuja... I just finished my first degree and my statement of result was not ready. So I filled in my Ds-160 that I was still a student. VO- why did you choose this uni? Me- this university has an excellent school of pharmacy and is well equipped with outstanding laboratory facilities and currently housing the biggest pharmaceutical lab in texas, am also interested in d undergraduate research being conducted in the school of pharmacy. Vo- who is ur sponsor? Me -my uncle,my mothers brother. his a business man. VO- show me bank statements. Me- I showed him. Vo started typing and gave me my rejection letter. 2nd interview in same abuja. VO- why do u want to study pharmacy? Me- told him it's my dream course am very passionate about this course,am interested in drugs and how they function in d human body moreover pharmacy is in line with my first degree chemistry. VO- what will u do after u complete ur studies? Me- told him I will come back after my studies and establish a very lucrative pharmaceutical Business. VO- what kind of training will u undergo after ur studies? Me- I didn't get what me meant by training,I just told him first I will become a licensed pharmacist. He nodded his head. VO- show me your transcript. Me- I showed him my statement of result cause my original degree certificate was not ready,I just graduated last year. VO- okay,everything looks good to me. VO- who's your sponsor. Me- my uncle.my mothers brother. VO- show me his bank statement. Me- I gave it to him,and he took it to the VO who interviewed me in my first attempt and when he came back he started typing very fast,after typing he told me am sorry,you just graduated,you can apply in the future. I believe just graduating is not the problem,because it shows am a serious student, he only used that as an excuse. And gave me the 214 something tells me it's my funding,yearly expense is $30,000 and my bank statement is $45,000. Pharmacy is 4 years. Any suggestions? Pls

For the VO to go and meet the 1st VO that interview you before means (s)he saw something concerning the bank statement and he went to the 1st VO to ask question and confirm..

Anyway never give up and take your time to refire back

Hi there!

I would like to advise not to be in a hurry to hit the embassy. You need a lot of grooming on how to answer visa interview questions.

You should be more explanatory on the questions.
I'm also not sure you wrote any standardised exam(s), not good at all, especially that you have a lower credit in your National Diploma.

With all due respect, I hope you don't speak the way you write. As the son of a doctor im sure the VO will expect a lot better from you.

Please write some standard exams and have good scores... Do Not Go for another interview without them. Seek professional help too if you have to and read up on previous thread in this forum.

I know I havnt covered everything about you, others will hopefully contribute.

It's gonna be your 3rd attempt at the embassy, make it count!!!

#BlessYou

Please dear nairalanders, my uncle just issued me a SOA for my visa interview, but the SOA is for his company not his personal SOA, and he's the owner of the company. Please I need advice. Will this SOA be useful?

Hi, the way you answered these questions were not quite convincing enough to the VO, you just gave straight answers, which is not to be so, u could have given volumnous answers to the VO in order to convince that you are a legitimate student

Before you reapply again read the transcripts on this thread and the previous threads, u need to teach yourself how to answer questions astutely and give convincing answers, like Stewee said you need to groom yourself, so i implore you to take ur time and read lotta interview Transcripts it would help you much, and save in your phone.

Lastly, you need to check that bank statement of account, hope you didnt go through the agent route, and i hope the statement of account is not an oluwole, for the VOs to scrutinize the bank statement of account there should be a problem with it, and i hope its a Nigerian account an not a US account, also take at least one standardized test it would boost your chances of procuring the visa.
