RedRom9: Have you gotten your visa already? If no, visit www.fmjfee.com, click on 'transfer I901 payment' and transfer your $200 payment from the old number to the current number that you have. It usually takes less than 48 hours to be transferred and the payment is valid for 1 year. Then reprint your new SEVIS fee receipt for your visa interview. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Beolaz: To be honest, it doesn't hurt to try requesting the ED. Who knows, they may approve it. Worst case scenario, they deny it. Upload your I20 and SEVIS fee receipt. In the box, explain that you are requesting an ED to enable you attend a visa date that your school resumes on x/y/2018 and your current date is a/b/2018, which falls after your school resumption date. Try it, who knows, they may approve it. Do let me know if you are approved. I know someone who is in your situation right now. 1 Like 1 Share |

KelechiNwachukw: Did you upload your I20 (showing your program start date)? If yes, don't select the Jan 8 date yet. Keep revisiting the website to see if they open up an earlier date for you. You have 1 week from when the request was granted to reschedule to a date opened up for you. 3 Likes 1 Share |

brightdocare: Your age could be a possible problem. Normally, the VOs do not like approving visas for UG students who are over 22/23 and moreso if you've been away from the educational system for too long, then how would you cope academically in a more tedious US school if you arrive? Chances are very low but not impossible. I've once seen a guy of 30 years approved of his visa (he has a very likable personality. He has this infectious personality. Maybe this helped him during his interview) for UG studies. |

firmphem: I think that your issue comes from the fact that you are 33 and working, yet your dad is sponsoring your trip abroad. Changing sponsorship to mostly yourself (especially if you have a good job/high salary earner), with some support from your father would be better. |

Damilare5882: Lol. Even if I tell u say na hell fire, u go throw away your visa? ![]() On a serious note, our people don't usually take this advice seriously. Then they come here and get pneumonia or cold in an organ normal cold has no business with. Then everybody home and same abroad is having high blood over the state of the person's health and the person spends his little money on the "bigman" healthcare system here. All these can be avoided with just a really thick sweater or two, and not trying to dress like oyibo during your first winter, till your body gets used to the change. Change is never easy, at least APC can swear that much to you. 8 Likes |

Good morning all please I need your advice,because I am in between two decisions. Base on future relevance and Job prospects, i would love to know which of the two courses is the best to pursue as Ms in US. I have HND mechanical engineering- power and plant engineering. My project was development of mathematical model for a mini- robot arm for welding. I did direct entry into uniben- chemical engineering. my final year project was Numerical studies of Initial value problem for gluconic acid production using pseudonomas ovali. it's about simulation, numerical analysis application and mathematical modelling. since my HND days I have developed interest in Energy especially alternative energy sources, my project in uniben has made me to start thinking about simulation,modelling and numerical analysis. so the two specialization could be : Doing an MS that focuses on alternative energy sources such as renewable energy source, energy systems. or process simulation, numerical analysis and mathematical modelling of complex systems as related to chemical engineering even energy systems inclusive. |

Please house, my second visa interview was delayed. I really felt bad cos my first visa outing was very okay as even agreed by most members of this forum. But in the second interview, i suddenly went blank trying to explain to the VO why I need a masters (I didn't cram. I just don't know how it happened and afterwards picked up to finish it up after VO encouraged me to calm down and relax. However, he said I couldn't convince him I was a genuine student). Truth be told. I cried when I got home ![]() Am a little bit worried. My school resumes 10th January, 2018 and I don't know what exactly to do as I don't know how to respond in the event of being asked SO WHAT HAS CHANGED? Even scared of the unknown; if am to reapply a third time in SPRING (I fear it may send signals am desperate) or chill till FALL? I need advise. Do I defer till Fall and get back to work? I also fear deferring till FALL will see me loose my free campus housing and tuition waiver all the same. I really feel bad getting to miss out this time as I had programmed my studies and hoped it ended 2019 as I was programming to settle down afterwards. |

Pls house just a quick one, I initially scheduled my appointment for 9th January but I noticed 29th December is now available and I intend to reschedule. But the information on the page is quite confusing. I am scared of rescheduling and having to pay another Visa fee. Schedule Consular Appointment Applicants for U.S. visas are required to appear in person for a visa interview at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate. Please schedule an appointment for an interview. If you cancel this appointment, then you will have exceeded the limit of appointments canceled, and will not be able to schedule another appointment until another MRV fee has been paid. Your current appointment is scheduled for 01/09/2018 at 06:30 |

I took the GRE. got 305 (quant 150, verbal 155). although I scored 155 on power prep 1 and 2 on quant. on Test day I was unlucky cos my area of weakness was basically the only questions I kept on seeing. studied for 2 months but still couldn't figure out these tough geometry questions. Toefl 105. (R 29. L 28 , S 24, W 24) Cgpa 3.69/5 BSc computer science. I'm going for MS information Technology. I don't know if my profile is ok enough to get funding, I ll like any recommendations on schools i can apply with this profile or what my chances are for admission and funding.

scaezar:The Scaezar I know is a brilliant and hardworking fine artist�. Sadly, the VO doesn't know this and you would need to engage in a convincing discussion why/what 1) you didn't pursue this degree in a Nigerian uni 2) this degree would offer you 3) you're going for another undergraduate degree 4) aren't you going for masters degree that relates to your last degree. Answer all these questions and assess them if they're convincing enough to earn you your visa. I wish you good luck and God's favor. 1 Like |

Morning House. Have being a quite follower of this forum since I was encourage to apply for American schools by my friend BigFrancis21 who has been a brother right from our undergraduate days at UNN. My First Visa outing was on the 27th of Nov 2017 which ended with a delay for no reason. My transcript goes like this Vo: why are you going to the US? Me: am going for my master in cyber security. Then Vo cut in and said but your i20 says engineering Me: yeah is a program in college of engineering. He now noded Vo: how did you know abt d sch? Me: I catalogue using google search engine and academic website such as Princeton review and usnews. Then I streamline my search to sch with teaching and research concentration in cyber security. Then I further narrow it down to umd cos it meets my ambition and goal in cyber security. Vo: have you traveled out b4? Me: no, I have never had reason to travel out before. Vo: are you married? Me: no am not married. Vo: what will you be doing after this course Me: I intend to return to Nigeria, use the knowledge and skilled acquired work for 5yrs the start up my own private cyber security firm. Always have dream of consulting for organizations and our security outfit in terms of cybersecurity Vo: who is paying Me: my elder brother, Vo: what does he do Me: he is the md/CEO of XYZ maritime services ltd. The company is into shipping, marine and logistic services. He then type for a while and said sorry we can't issue you visa this time around. I was so devastated because I no I gave the preparation process my best shot. I was like to hell with them am moving on but my friend encourage me that I should reapply. Which I did and am glad I did. Fast forward to my new interview day which is 12th of December 2017 I try to modified my response trying to establish more home tie as their form 214b says. This time around my visa was approve by the same VO who interviewed me last. I was told that you can't be interview by the same vo that denied you but in my case that protocol was broken. Fast forward to the interview, the protocol officer assigned me to window 1. Which was the window were the guy is though the previous interview he was in window 6. I objected I told the protocol guy am not going to that window and he asked why and I told he that vo was the guy that denied me visa the last time. The protocol guy insisted I must go to him that if he was the vo that denied me visa last he will send me back to him so he can reassign me to someone else. But to my amazement the fellow didn't turn me back. He collected my i20 and my passport type something in his computer and immediately raised his head up and looked at me with this look of like I was the one that denied you visa last? He the proceed with the interview The transcript goes like this Vo: why are you going to the us Me: to pursue my professional masters of Engr in cyber security Vo: so tell me more about this course Me: me is a program in the faculty of engr. The course will equip and enable me to be able to design, implement and analyzed an organizations security policy, the course will help me design, implement and deploy cyber security solutions for protecting an organizations info resources , it will enable me design and implement the appropriate incidence handling procedures in the event of security breach, it will enable me design and implement secure software, it will enable me analyse the cyber vulnerability of an organization network against cyber attack and it will help me in attend to clients with a more sense of responsibility. Vo: tell me how many more sch you applied other than this one Me: 2 Vo: name them Me:Utelp and UCM Vo: why umd Me: of the 3sch I applied to, the cyber security program in umd is consistently ranked among the top 25 graduate engr program in the us by usnews nd world report. Umd is home to world renowned faculty members and working experts who participate in teaching the course and conducting research in leading edge technology. Also the cyber security program at umd merges engr applications to computer principles. Also the student to faculty ratio at umd is 17: 1 which is good for academic standard. Vo: are u married Me: no Vo: who is sponsoring you Me:my elder brother Vo: what does he do Me: he owns a shipping company Vo: why will a shipping company want to sponsor a cyber securist Me: actually he is sponsoring me because he wants me to come back and take up job with him as a cyber security professional. Where I will be saddled with the responsibilities of securing and managing the company's online presence especially the logistic aspect and the marine service Vo type for a short while and say this the around your visa is approved you will be communicated by mail when your visa is ready take this white paper to enable you during collection. Me at this moment I went blank and even forgot my folder on his desk their I just collected my i20 and the white paper as I was about leaving the next guy called me back to collect my folder. My Observations if you are reapplying after any denial, pls try and be consistent with your response something happen that day. The guy that was interviewed b4 me had a previous denial.this time around he came up with different response and the vo guy nabbed him cos they have all the details of your previous response. Some of his flaws are like this Vo: how many sch did you apply to Guy: 3 sch, Vo now say the last time you were here you told my colleague you applied to one sch. The guy was mute he couldn't respond in defence to his new response Vo: who is sponsoring you Guy: my father Vo: what does he do Guy: he is into export and import bla bla bla Vo now say the last you came you told my colleague your dad is a lawyer. Guy was quite again. Vo now say sorry you are not qualified this time around again. To God be the glory 17 Likes 5 Shares |
