KingHeni 1.Is it a must for one to take SAT & TOFEL/IELTS test If the university does not demand it as a requirement for admission? writing gives one opportunities to get scholarships. it's advisable to write them 2. I graduated from a polytechnic and have an HND civil engineering, but planning to study Electrical Engineering as an undergraduate, as I have work experience in that field,with some certificate and by God's grace a liscence soon ....is this a good move to make as it concerns visa approval? why not evaluate your transcript, take the GRE and apply for graduate studies rather than undergraduate again. although visa approval is a case-by-case study. some people have actually gone for another undergraduate. so it is relative 3. I read Some of the interview transcript and most of the guys applied to more than 1 school and V. O seems to ask how many school... Must one apply to more than one school?not really but spreading applications gives one multiple chances.people have applied just 1 school & still got their visas. these are my humble suggestions. Experienced persons will also give better opinions all the best & dont use any agent 1 Like |

@nelem, please my uncle who is a lecturer in one of the Nigeria college of education with two masters, and has been admitted and paid his school fee in one of the university in US, was denied visa this morning. Yesterday was suppose to be his interview date, so he went without is I-20, and was asked to go and bring it and come back for his interview, and was given a letter to come around 9am today and present his I-20, that he would be issued his visa. luckily for him, the courier service they used to send the package called him that yesterday immediately he left the embassy to come pick his I-20 that they are currently infront of his house, so he picked it up, and went back there as he was told to come from monday to thursday from 9am. and finally he was denied. My question is: 1. What would have prompted them to denied him? 2. What time can he re-apply, as the school he chose has resumed yesterday 3. Does he have to contact the school to contact the embassy? or what do you think he can do to this case. please note that hes going alone, as hes married with two kids. thanks i await your fast response |

KingHeni: If you have an HND degree why go for another undergraduate? I would suggest you apply directly into a graduate program in Electrical that you want and find maybe an area of interest where Civil intersects with Elect so that way, you are advancing your knowledge in a multidisciplinary field. Applying to more than one university only increases your chances of getting admission. Knowing that programs are generally competitive, you are not guaranteed a place in a particular program and that is why the VOs uses that as a signal to know if one is a genuine student or one's intention is to use the Visa as a means of running away from our country. That said, there are cases where you think you can compete strongly in a particular school and what you realize is that you do not get in while some other schools that you feel you are not competitive enough gives you admission. I would suggest at least 3 schools with one of them being a safety school at least. Agents are most times not sincere depending on what type of agency they are and in some cases, their perception of you. They have their interest to protect which could either be making as much money as they can from you without any compensating benefit or improving their agency by guiding students properly. It isn't an easy process doing it yourself however, there is more to learn if you do it yourself and that way, you can take responsibility for the success or otherwise of your application. |

wunmi590: He needs to tell us how the interview was to know what could be a reason why he was denied. In my opinion, before I read from him, I am seeing him as an unprepared person. Who goes for a student visa interview without his/her I-20? As for reapplying, he can do that anytime he feels he is prepared enough. 1 Like |

My international passport would expire by Aug 2019. Would it be any hindrance to my visa considering I would be issued a 2yr visa which would definitely be beyond the intl passport expiry date. Anyone who has gone through this? Let me know if it is possible to renew my passport before the Interview or go with it like that since it isn't expired yet |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by GboyegaD(m): 6:38pm On Sep 05, 2018 |
AmaSophy: Your passport needs be valid for at least 6months by the time you are issued your visa. |

aduku1:Do you have a campus job offer? And again it depends on the state and city you’re going, and even your self, in some state it’s very hard to get an off campus job being a student, while in some state like Cali, Na them dey rush us, It’s better you get in touch with a current student of that school. 1 Like |

aduku1: Do you have funds for this semester alone? Or do you have funds for the full duration of your programme? If you have funds for the full programme duration, then you can look for/apply for a graduate assistantship position which will pay you a monthly stipend that can cover your living expenses. However, if you have funds for only this semester, then even with a graduate assistantship job, you still won't be able to complete your tuition and fees. On the other hand, you can still contact your school to inquire if there are other available funding options available to you. You never know. A friend of mine who got admitted to a masters programme in a private school some years back with a cost of attendance of $65k was given a $40k scholarship. She contacted the school as she still couldn't afford the remaining $25k. She was eventually offered an additional $15k to make a total of $55k. Another guy who also tried same didn't get anything. Moral of the story is that you never know until you try. 4 Likes |

AmaSophy: It depends on when you will be interviewing for your visa. As stated previously, your passport needs be valid for at least 6 months by the time you are issued your visa. However, this is where your case gets a little tricky. If you're looking at Fall 2019, you're allowed to attend your visa interview up to 120 days in advance of your school resumption date. So assuming that your school resumes in August, the earliest date that you can interview for your visa will be sometime in April. Given that your passport expires in August, then it will be less than 6 months to its expiration when you're interviewing and that wouldn't work. You may need to renew it to avoid any complication. Typically, passports are renewed about 6 months to its expiration. |

Emusan:A virgin passport won't be a reason why you are denied a visa. I read about someone on this thread who said she had to travel to different countries so she could have travel history and boost her chance of getting the visa but was still denied. I really don't think that would be a problem. Just do your own bit. Also, make sure it's not an expired passport. 1 Like |
