Hello, Does partaking in the dv lottery disqualifies an applicant for a student visa. I understand immediately you see an applicant has entered the lottery before, you conclude the interview. Please is that true. |

Dear VO, First, in November 2003 I attended an interview at the US consulate in Lagos, I was denied visa. Currently I'm in Dubai and in 2016 July I attended an F1 visa interview here but was denied visa. The situation now is in 2003 my DOB was 01.07.1977 but my current passport is 01.07.1981 and my Form I-20. I was asked by the VO the reason why there was a change of year in my passport and before I could answer the question I was disqualified on that ground. How do I salvage the situation as the same school have re-enroll me with a full tuition waiver and assistanship to work while studying. How do I defend this misfortune that has befell me and has been plaguing me since that last visa denial. Can I use a lawyer? any information will be of great help. Thank you in anticipation, waiting for your favorable response. Philip |

abujaniv: Dear Visa Team, My daughter's F1 Visa would expire in August this year. She will be coming to Nigeria in early July for her sibling's wedding and return end of July. Her school would resume early August. I sought for advice from the International Advisor she's attached to, on what she would need to do to maintain her status. The advice I got was that nothing was really required from her except to register for the Fall semester before travelling out of USA. Reading the advice quoted above, it appears to me that she should renew her F1 visa in Nigeria before returning to the USA. If this is the correct situation, can she renew the visa before expiration? Her visa wouldn't expire until early August 2017 and she would return last week in July 2017. |

Hello Glurssymum. Everybody needs their own DS-160 and I-20. F2s are exempted from the SEVIS fee. No additional documents are required, however, the consular officer may ask to see a bank statement or some proof of means to pay for the tuition and living expenses of two adults who will not be allowed to work in the United States.

Hello filypo. The United States takes biographical information --names, date of birth, etc.-- very seriously. Multiple dates of birth is a red flag for fraud. Even if it started as a mistake from the passport agency, you were complicit with the fraud when you used the passport as your identity document. filypo: |

@AbujaNIV Pls what happens when there is a slight error on a form i20 date of birth. Actually the date should be like 08 APRIL 1989 But was mistakenly written on the i20 form as 05 APRIL 1989 Can an electronic copy effecting the correction? would it be sufficient to go for the interview. Or should a new i20 be sent Thank you. |
Re: U.S. Student Visa (F1, M1, & J1) Forum - We're Listening by abujaniv: 6:40am On May 09, 2017 |
Hello electronic. There's no "slight" error in something discrete like a date of birth: It's either right or wrong. Your use of the passive voice, "was mistakenly written," avoids responsibility for the mistake. Either you entered it incorrectly or the school did. If it's you, I don't know what to tell you. If it's the school, then you owe it to yourself to get the mistake fixed immediately. Errors in critical biographical information can haunt an individual for decades. electronic: |

Hello tejpot. You can go ahead with the interview. If the visa is approved, it can not be fully processed until the SEVIS fee is paid. tejpot: |

Hello abujaniv, Please, I am awaiting my I-20 from my school, but concerning the bank statements, my uncle would be the one paying for my studies in the US, my mom would be contributing but not high amounts, hope I would not get my visa denied because my uncle is sponsoring me. Also, on the day of my interview am I to come with only my uncle bank statement or should I come with both my mom and uncle bank statement. Thank you and I would appreciate a response. |

Hello VO My I-20 was just sent in today. However, my middle name was not included in it. Should I go ahead with the visa registration with this form as it is or request a new one? P.S: My middle name was included in my international passport |
Re: U.S. Student Visa (F1, M1, & J1) Forum - We're Listening by SilaV: 9:45am On May 17, 2017 |
Hello VO, Please, I need a clarification as to whether there is a laid down rule as to the order of arrangement of documents( e.g. appointment confirmation first, followed by DS-160 confirmation,... etc). Again, should these documents be stapled together as or not. the reason I am making this inquiry is to avoid any form of "orientation" from the hustlers at the consulate. |

Dear VO, pls I need your advice. My husband and I have yrs of work experience and traveled to the US in 2014 to have our baby and just renewed our B1B2 visa in march 2017. Now we plan to go study in Spring 2018 in the US. We both have our admission letter and attending the same school. so this means that we will both be applying for F1 VISA INDIVIDUALLY . My Concerns: Should we apply together as a family or individually The significant ties we have in home country is Land and House assets How do we convince the vo that we would be returning after our studies since we r going together with the kids Finance is from our joint savings and proceed from property sold which covers for a year we both want to further our education to be more relevant in the labour market.....kindly advise |
