Go to obalende(200 naira bike to the consulate) there are cheap hotels around there 4-5k but they are not so good hotels but manageable there is also a hotel inside Bonny cantonment (Benni Hotel VI) around 7k this one is better if you can afford it

I really appreciate you! Can still afford the Beni hotel, do they accept two in a room? Or we have to take different rooms? Cos I’m going with a friend??

What makes you think Lincoln university is a red flag school? Being a low ranked school doesn’t mean it’s red flagged. What should we say about those getting denial with high ranked school, even with GA.

Yes i have seen high ranked school with full funding refused. So many things might have played role, your previous refusal record, unpreparedness, and so on. This doesn't mean the the approval rate for top ranked schools is not high. It's very high. Red flagged schools is a hard meat to chew but if you have stronger teeth, you can chew it. So it better to go with soft meat than hard meat. Thank you

Tadexpreccy:


I feel like stoning you.. federal palace? Who I be??

Who u be? And u don't want a terrible hotel. Someone was kind enough to suggest a better hotel and u feel like stoning the person. Go from your house, then we go know who u be. Go and get ur visa jor. Where u put up doesn't matter, but God.

Now you are talking. Anyone can get approved or denied irrespective of the choice of school. GOE

Tavict:
But am planning to go for the interview by next week, I think God is the only one to take control now because am into this or what do you think?

Prepare well, prove your case beyond doubt and pray for God's favour. It will end in praise

There are exceptions doesn't mean you shouldn't do the right thing from the beginning. That's why people are here to share their stories. You have been hearing about the chubby black lady at Lagos embassy, people can testify that her denial rate is high compared to other white V.O. This doesn't mean she does not approve visa but you have to wow her. Same applies to going with red flag schools, you have to wow the v.o b4 you can scale through.

Samuel60:


Why do you guys try to create or blow issues out of proportion... Must u jump into issues without investigating properly??.. Can’t u see av edited my post long ago ?? Damn

It is you who require a form of guide/assistance on this thread, yet you're too vociferous and recalcitrant to people who offer their honest contributions for you. Your attitude stinks and I for one would be very reluctant to oblige any of your requests. I can't speak for others on their views about you. Lubbisshhhhhh

Tonnie2014:
Hello group,A friend had gained admission into a Us university only for him not to reach their required toefl score.so dey asked him to retake and reapply.but d p is he had paid to the bank the interview application fees.he now wants to take his time to rewrite toefl and reapply mayb nextyear.
To avoid d 64k xpirin he wishes to resell at a cheaper price.if interested holla me via email.tnx

Visa fee payments are not transferable. It's not a waste as it is valid for one year, so he can still use it

good morning guys, please which exam can a 3.49 CGPA graduate write to get a full tuition waiver for masters.

URGENT PLEASE

Kweeen:
Ohh my goodness, very apt! She was soo mean and her facial expression hehnnn..she was the lady that interviewed me and I was denied too , congratulations..

I saw you guys beside that small room (I think is window , I was praying for you people not knowing that the fair CGI lady that has five beard would also be transfer me to young black american lady @ window 21 though she was nice maybe village just spoke to her to deny me.

Kawlingz:
Good morning everyone.

I'm new on this thread and I know just a little about American Student Visas. So I REALLY REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS. IT'S URGENT!

Someone very close to me applied for a student visa at the American Embassy, Abuja and was denied last week Tuesday. The only questions asked were:
1)what and where are you going to study
2) do you have relatives in the US

He affirmed to the second question after which he was denied (although the relative is a "second-uncle" )

THE CHALLENGE

The deadline to report to the US stated on his I-20 is August 6th and as it seems, he won't be able to get a new appointment until October. From the little research I carried out online, an applicant can schedule for an emergency appointment if he has not been denied a visa within the last six months. So he doesn't qualify since he was denied about a week ago.

What can be done to salvage this situation? Is it possible to apply through the US Embassy in Ghana? Is it even acceptable? Please come through guys! Thanks.

cc justwise and every other visa guru

Please someone should help with a helpful response.

Tadexpreccy:


Offer me girls? I’ll pass.. till after I get granted..

I was shocked. The guy already knew what I was there for, but he had the guts to offer that lol. Bad luck lol.

GRE

Guys pls, the agent in US told my cousin not to open his i20 form that it is to be opened by the VO , pls how true is this ?

Furthermore , how true is the information that there is a new policy (created about a week ago ) that someone with a visitors VISA who applied for student VISA in country outside USA and got denied and proceed to USA on his visistors Visa and decided to applied for student VISA from USA and gets denial will be immediately deported because his intention of student visa has been created already when he first applied outside USA and thus, he’s not in US to visit but to apply for student visa

That light skinned black American lady close to the small inner room and her other black fat sister are something else infact for a lady if you too fine them go deny you lolzz while for the guys if you have GA and you are ugly they would approve you. Last last the whites are really reasonable when you are being denied by them atleast you would know where ur bleep came frm and thats not the case for the black ladies.Those ladies are not being professional at all but just WICKED!!

I dont know of the policy but to be denied based on this is very possible .....

What a comic relief!
To address your paragraph 1, that claim by the agent is untrue. Matter of factly, your cousin should even peruse his/her I-20 not just to prepare for the interview, but to proof-read in case of any errors. I-20 is part of his/her credentials and deserves personal inspection.

On your paragraph 2, though your train of comment is largely vague to me, I'd want to posit that irrespective of any previous visa experience, as long as the details you submitted on your DS form are valid and consistent, you can defend same and prove to be a legitimate student, you are 95% close to sealing your visa approval. The remaining 5% is dependent on the disposition of your interviewer and maybe your village people (as some claim)


I will conclude by dropping a note of caution, Flee from travel agents.
They are mainly after their pockets and care less about your dreams and financial stature.

Peace Profound!

Sorry o but does(for example) $12000 per semester stated on the school website mean that's the amount I will pay for year 1 or I will pay it twice for first and second semester making a total of 24 000 dollars?

And also, after admission, how many weeks after resumption do most schools give before you have to pay and are installmental payments allowed?
I know these questions differ with school but generally, what's the package often like

Shoot me!
You got WhatsApp to talk better?

Hi, please anyone in the USA who needs naira in exchange for dollars?,. I want to send few USD to a Concubine biko.

Good morning all.
Pls does anyone have an alternative US Lagos embassy number I can use to speak with one of their agents. I tried this number-+23414406218 to call but There was no instruction or option of speaking with one of their agents.
It's urgent-I need to ask them how to rebook an appointment after denial last week.
Thanks.

If I may ask, how old are you?

VECOH1:
F1 visa denied today.

PHUMEELAYO:
Hello good people.... The queen of silent followers association over here whup whup

July 21st, 7:30 I was interviewed by the beautiful black American Lady (the young light-skinned one), she was just so calm and focused and it really helped me regain my confidence. Whenever she asked a question I didn't have an immediate answer, I would say excuse me.... The time it takes for her to reply, I was already thinking up an answer. I did breathe-in-breathe-out exercise at the beginning.

She was just staring at me and smiling, not typing much.... I couldn't afford to fidget or flinch at any question.

I: Good morning ma'am

VO: Good morning, and how do you do?
I: I am great, thank you and you?

VO: good, good. pass me just your i20 and passport please. So what's your course of study?
I: Masters of social work at east Tennessee State University in Johnson city Tennessee

VO: what do you do now?
I: I am currently employed at xyz specialist center, a special needs school that caters to children with developmental disorders like autism, ADHD and Down's syndrome. As a program facilitator, my main duties are (she cuts me off, she was cross-checking with my DS160 throughout)

VO: so who would be sponsoring this trip?
I: I got a merit scholarship that covers 50% of my tuition, my great-uncle and sister would cover the rest of my expenses. Then she goes through my i20

VO: Why didn't you apply to more affordable programs?
I: well most of the other schools expect their MSW students to pick a concentration at the second year but since I don't have a BSW nor basic SW knowledge, I wanted programs that offer a generalist practice model where I would be able to experience every aspect of the profession

VO: any standardized tests
I: yes, I sat for the GRE with a score of 314 and IELTS with an overall band score of 8

VO: who would you be staying with? Do you know anyone that has applied to or attending this school?
I: I will be staying on campus at the Buccaneers ridge apartment and already made a deposit. No I don't know anyone at the school

VO: how then did you know about the school
I: I made use of the worksheet available on the EducationUSA website and was able to solidly define my priorities. Then I researched for schools using socialworkdegreeguide.com, usnews, mastersportal and gradcafe and I was able to shortlist the programs fitting my requirements.

VO: What other schools did you apply to and how many admits?
I: southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, University of Maine at Orono, Michigan State University at East Lansing, Ohio State University at Columbus and Georgia State at Atlanta. I was admitted by four of them.

VO: can I have bank statements to backup your claims (handed over my sis first, savings with over #11m) what does your sister do?
I: she is a level 13 civil servant with the Lagos State govt

VO: (just looks at front page of the statement), has she ever left the country?
I: No, she hasn't

VO: looks at my Uncle's (>$100k), where does he reside and what does he do?
I: He stays at Maryland and is a real estates agent

VO: how did he get to the US?
I: (laughing) he's my great-uncle and it would have been rude for me to ask him that, it was a long time ago even before my mum was born. From the stories passed down, I hear he was given a federal scholarship when he was in secondary school and later citizenship, I don't really know specifics, you know how stories can change when passed from generations to generations.

VO: (laughing along with me) congratulations, I would be approving your visa..... Blah blah DHL.... Blah blah i20.... POE
I: thank you ma'am, I do hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
VO: I hope so too, thank you

This is my second interview, was denied June 27th.... Will dig that up and post later.

It would be remiss of me not to thank the wonderful people of this thread especially Texrem (wonderful man with a beautiful soul), Sorelee, Walsprings, lagosismyhome, profojah, meritdee and sponge3.

please let me see your first transcript. I was denied on my first try too

Guys please I am currently looking for someone I can stay with Oklahoma for the main time before I get a place of my own.

Please, I need help I would be at the school for the 2 week of August.

Thank you,
