NefT: You updated your profile in the appointment portal with the new DS160 barcode yesterday so you don't need to worry yourself. I have done this a day to my interview before and I had no issue. Ensure you print a new appointment confirmation after updating your profile with the new barcode. 2 Likes |

sayilousnwa: I don't really believe in following a script before interview because one can easily get derailed when the questions are not coming in the expected order or are rephrased. You should rather learn how to respond to interview questions. You should be confident, audible, truthful and exhibit eye-to-eye contact etc. Truth is constant so your answers will always be same, even if the same question is rephrased. Back to your script. You laid two much emphasis on your in-law rather the organisation you work for. Even if your in-law owns the company 100% you should be talking about the company. VOs don't usually ask for documents but be prepared to back up your claims of working for this company with documents such as letter of employment, pay slips, sponsorship letter from the company, company's bank statements etc. 2 Likes |

Hello sayilousnwa - You should give whatever answer is true. Out of the thousands of Universities in the United States, you chose to apply to that one. You must have had some reason to do so. What was the reason? We aren't looking for a magic specific answer to the questions we ask. We are trying to determine if you are a legitimate student or not. Each student has his or her own motivations. Tell us what yours are. sayilousnwa: 3 Likes |

Fodio84: You should sort out things with the school you're gonna be having your training with and discuss with after necessary arrangements make then you can begin plan for visa. But there's a sister thread for that though 1 Like |

My former visa appointment page is still on with my former DS-160 application code, please, how long will it take for it to change? Or how should I go about it because I would like to schedule another appointment this week. Thank you very much. I hope to hear from you. And also I would like to request @LagosismyHome to help me with a mock interview. Thank you very much. |

Greeting great house and congrats to those who are about leaving for the US. Please I have a few things I need the experts to clarify for me. I have gained admission for Spring 2018 in a University and their Cost of attendance is about $18k. However, that is not my 1st Choice school. If after securing my visa and traveling to the US, and I get admission into my more preferred university for Fall 2018 which offer GA and tuition waiver, can I do a transfer? And if yes, do I have to return immediately to Nigeria or I can chill in the states till I can resume in my preferred institution? Please what are the chances that I wouldn't be out of status?

Just off the top of my head - UPenn, NYU, Cornell, MIT, Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, Northwestern, U Chicago, Yale, Columbia... the VO will just laugh you out to a blue paper.

sayilousnwa: There is a lot wrong with your write up and it exposes the danger of 1. Not having a serious goal to study other than using the F1 as an avenue to run away from Nigeria; 2. Relying too much on what others post here rather than coming up with your own answers. Lets go through them... 1. Your response as to why you chose CMU is generic and boring... its the same old "best in the world", low faculty to student ratio, curiculum etc... there are literally thousands of schools in the US that offer that and more. What is unique about CMU? Frankly it is ok to state that you selected a school because it has a small population (CMU has a total population of 319) - there are some people who don't like large schools and that is totally acceptable. It is also ok to choose a school because of a more manageable tuition bill, not everyone can afford the cost of an MBA at Wharton and the VOs will understand. The point is, be original! 2. Your undergrad degree is in Petroleum Engineering, you worked 5 years as a construction engineer and now you want to do an MBA? It seems you have no idea what it is you really want to do as a career. 3. Your inlaw/company CEO is your sponsor - be prepared to explain why someone other than your parents is willing to spend millions to send you to school... 4. What does the program offer you - technology only? You can learn to be more efficient at work without spending millions on a US degree. Get a better line. 5. Your response to "how do you intend to achieve all that" sounds like that of a teenager, not a well-rounded professional seeking to pursue an advanced degree. I have to give the VOs kudos... i can't imagine listening to these type of obviously fake stories all day. But of course... your "god" will do everything for you, including reading your books. 4 Likes |

sayilousnwa: Hmnn....your in-law and his company are two distinct bodies except he is operating under a business name which I doubt. If he's the one sponsoring you then you can't say you're expected to come back to serve his company. Like I said earlier, your in-law sponsoring you for a US education get as he be ooo. Be ready to justify why he is indebted to invest such huge sum on your education. Hope you've read TWoods' comments on your script. |

Fodio84:Ok. Try to explain clearly on why you want to go for this training and the benefits for you and your country. Because surely, the VO would ask you why this vocational training. Also, I want to you tell that it's somehow difficult to get a visa on training if you are applying alone, than a company. As a result, you have try as much as you can to convince the CO. 1 Like |
