Good morning house please while filling my DS 160 form, I got to a place where am to write my monthly income in local currency. Am not collecting huge salary, though I have the person sponsoring me. Will low or high income determine chances of getting F1 visa during interview?

It won't determine nuin.. Just be truthful and fill everything accordingly.

Journey of a year comes to an end today. Its all been GOD. Today, GOD was evident, He showed me mercy and I now know its not by how prepared you are, you just have to have faith in GOD and believe.
Last night I knelt down on my knees and prayed to GOD to show me mercy that I should be favoured. Na so I reach embassy and waited along with many other people. na so one lady come separate NIV from IV. Passed through all necessary checks and finger printing and I stayed in the queue waiting for VO's to come. Na so window 3 open and one chinese guy call say his window is now available. I be wan enter window 7 becos the vo there just approved one guy. Very jovial VO. but na so dem usher me make I go window 3 chai.
na so I stand infront of the chinesse VO who shouldn't be more than 34.

VO: Good morning how are you?
me: Good morning, Iam fine and you?
VO: Iam great pls pass ur documents.
Me: slides passport and i20 to his window.
VO: typing.. What is bringing you to the US?
Me: Iam going to the US for my undergraduate degree in molecular and cellular biology which I will be studying at the university of maine for a duration of 48 months
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
me : I applied to 4 schools.
VO: name them
Me: ETSU, Umaine, Boston Uni and OSU( I said all in full tho)
VO: Of all these schools why did u pick Umaine.
me: Among all the schools I applied to, I chose the university of maine because I will have the opportunity to join an ongoing research under professor mellisa research group. The research focuses on the human JC polyomavirus which is.. (VO cuts in)
VO: Why will u talk about a research that does not exist. Moreover are u a graduate student? Why talk about research? pls say something else( He said this gesticulating).
Me: see wahala.. my heart come dey beat at this point but I sha compose myself and said
" I chose umaine because I discovered it offers top notch undergraduate mentorship programs and I had the chance to speak with some professors there and I found out that they are well experienced( I just weak as I talk this one.. becos I never in this world envisaged that i would say this lol and the VO's face was so straight, no smiling at all.

VO: did you do SAT?
me: no but I did the TOEFL.
VO: Did you do SAT? (he repeated)
Me: no but I did the toefl(I said again)
Vo: Why didn't you do SAT?
me: my school did not require me to write SAT.
na so the guy just dey type. He suddenly kept my passport and returned my i20. and he said
"Pick up your passport 3 days time and safe trip"
Me: thank you.

This could only be grace and favour. I just couldn't believe it after starting off so poor.
Special appreciation To GOD ALMIGHTY for making this possible, to slimmy2005 for sevis fee payment, adebimpe(will read ur transcript soon), Victor, walspring, neurosci, lagosismyhome and texrem for reviewing my transcript, and to my mum and dad who supported this dream and many others I didn't mention.

Goodday all,

Please I need your opinion @lagosismyhome, walspring and others. Is it appropriate to call or send a mail to my school to give a status update on my application. I was informed that decision would be made approximately two weeks which get finished this week.
Your feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

I do that a lot, I did that to two schools and they approved me within two days.

House,

My f1 visa application was denied today, and my degree program starts by August. Can I reapply almost immediately so I can meet up before deadline date ? If no, can I defer the admission till spring 2018 (meanwhile, I already deferred once due to delay in documentation from my school in Nigeria) ?

Please candid advice, please!

2. I guess a domiciliary account is compulsory.

1. Gtbank and Accessbank allow you use your debit card but their rate is now more than black market rate .
2. Abeg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you like yourself open domiciliary account now and fund the account with enough cash before coming here. Also make sure you request for the dollar card and test it in Naija before leaving. You buy small stuff on amazon just to be sure the card is working perfectly.
All the best .

Yes you can re- apply immediately however you either need to type a full transcript or perhaps work with someone to give you feedback....

The important thing is not about reapplying but ensuring you are not making the same mistake

Chairman you were only delayed not denied please.

Put down your Transcript so that you could get feedback from the house.

Secondly you can always reapply, you still have time.
But first make sure you amend any loopholes that caused the delay...

The nairaland version of "transcript" , where you write how the F1 interview went , what questions were asked and what were your responses ...... Does that mean you did not read previous transcript of others interview before you went

Nice one bro.

But what happened is that I am actually going for 2nd undergraduate major in Business and Managerial economics. From my point of view, I guess the vo is not convinced about how I defined and explained the course to him because he never asked of anything but THAT.

Now what is your age?
How different is this course from your previous?
What did you explain to the VO?
Except your transcript is here how do people analyze the situation Sir?
Plus can you change course when you reach the school? Etc. All this would help make life easier.
Even if your transcript is here just bring it forward to this page and things would pick up from there.
