Hello house, I am a new member here. My visa was approved at the Abuja embassy yesterday pending an account verification. I just checked my status now and it says refused. I am 100% certain that the account is genuine because i went with my uncle to pick it up at the bank. I also got a mail with the normal refusal letter to go pick my passport at DHL. Please could this be an error or i should i call the embassy for clarification. Please who has been in my shoes before. Thank you. |

AARasheed: What class of visa? B1/B2, F1 etc How good financially was the account? If F1 What's the name of the school? Cost of attendance Bachelors or Masters Details of your interview.... there could be several reasons..... shed more light on the situation. |

Spring2019: Well it is my earnest prayer it changes to issued. If not, I don't really know how to categorize this kind of thing by the embassy really. Home ties BS after the whole interview?? Why not decide the persons fate there and then rather than giving somebori false hope Not good enough. They should give another excuse pls. It can't be well with our leaders I swear.. Either in this life or the life after. Who will be going to those countries if things dey aiit here. Am vexed walahi ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

AARasheed: Relax bro. There is more to life than getting hypersensitive cos of America. That being said, what category of visa is it? Pray for a change in positive change, it might just be an administrative error as we have seeing in some cases here. If not, swallow the bitter pill and reshoot your shot. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Spring2019: 5:53pm On Nov 28, 2018 |
Or probably the VO wasn't satisfied with the inflow and outflow of cash or there was a sudden lodgment of cash some days to the interview or the supervisor doesn't want him to give you cos I heard the senior VOs go through all applications again before visa is issued Either well, just be calm and hope for the best |

fairheart: Thanks a lot for the information. Please, I have few questions to ask. About the age limit, I'm within and eligible to register. But I saw someone who said they only register students with gpa of 4.0 and above for masters. How true is that? My GPA isnt up to that. Also, after registering with $200, are they responsible for the mandatory tests you're to write and wes evaluation or you'll pay for those yourself? More info about these would be appreciated. Thanks |

homirefacuny: Honestly, i am sureprised! There should be a reason why someone who was previously approved pending an account verification would be refused. I heard it is a normal thing with the US embassy. Hopefully, the status would change and all this would be an error. |

Please house help me scrutinize my proposed transcript. VO: Pass your i20 and your passport Me: <Passes> Good morning VO: What are you going to do in the US. Me: I am going for my masters in information science with a concentration in health informatics at the University of North Texas. Vo: Why this program? Me: HI encourages evidence based clinical practice and will help me develop innovative thinking to become a successful medical practitioner. Vo: Where did you first learn about this school? Me: I first learnt about the University of North Texas when doing a research on the best health informatics program in the US. I was attracted by its ratings in a reputable website like USnews.com as the seventh best health informatics program in the US. In addition it offers great value for money as it is the most affordable of all top 10 health informatics program. Vo: Did you apply to any other school? Me: Yes, I applied to three schools. Indiana University Purdue Indianapolis, University of North Texas and Wilmington University. The University of North Texas gave me admission, while Wilmington University are yet to make a decision on my application. VO: Why UNT? Me: I chose to apply to UNT because it offers courses in public health informatics, such as Community-Based Health Information and Disaster Management for Information Professionals. As a medical practitioner, my primary duty is to provide health care to people at the community level and this program will give me the opportunity to apply technology skills to improve patient care. Vo: What is your schedule for this program Me: The program has a total coursework of 36 credit hours. I will be taking 9 credits this semester and the remaining 24 credits in subsequent semesters. I will be taking courses in information and knowledge professions, information organization and medical informatics this semester. Vo: What will this degree do for you? Me: Firstly, since majority of my diagnostic tools employ high level technology, an indepth knowledge of how technology is applied to healthcare practice, patient care and diagnosis will enhance my clinical decision making. In addition, i will develop the skills to think critically about population level data and apply informatics approaches to address pressing public health issues, such as the integration of comprehensive care services for vulnerable populations in Nigeria, engaging populations in healthy behaviors using information technologies, regional and global health surveillance, management of very large data sets across the health system, comparative effectiveness analysis, and appropriate use of population health data analytics to influence public health programs and policies in Nigeria. Vo: Why are you going to a different field? Me: Health informatics is not a entirely a different field. It is a branch of medicine which allows professionals apply informatics theory and techniques to all areas of patient care. Moreover, in the first year of my undergraduate studies, i took a course titled "introduction to computing " and in my second year, i took another course titled "symbolic programming in Fortran". These courses have given me a foundation in information technology. Vo: Did you take any standardized test? Me: Yes, I took the IELTS exam. Vo: Who is your sponsor? Me: my dad. Vo: Can i have his bank statement? Me: sure. I am still working on my responses. Your advices and opinions will be appreciated. Thank you Lagosismyhome, theamerican, Femi312, Sorelee, Folmus, imperiouxx, Bigfrancis21, Twoods, EZEIGBO1OFIMO, Walsping, Ubah1, Oludare01, Time2Smile, MackyNaija, ponpon, rexcheng, quoran, learner007, happyday, 100kobo, GboyegaD, Godchangemylife, pastor Walspring and other gurus here.... Please help me review my transcript. Thanks 2 Likes |

Well, I cannot confirm whether or not there is GPA requirement. To be sure, please visit the agency in Lagos or Abuja. It isn't that far from the US embassy. The $200 is mainly for membership. With the $200 you are eligible to use EducationUSA computers, library, access direct link to some scholarships your academic profile may be eligible for, and you will be able to network with students from top universities in the country, and even a few who come from US and Canada, etc to get their Master's/undergraduate admission through the agency. The membership certainly comes with a lot of opportunity you'll get to know and explore once you are registered. For the exams, you are required to pay for everything, including your WES, etc. I would encourage you to visit them one of those Wednesdays. Good luck in your endeavours. aywhy93: |

Don't conclude so soon. This could be system error as it once happened to a student here last week. But if it is actually refused, be strong and try again. aduku1: |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Nutshell44: 7:42pm On Nov 28, 2018 |
aduku1: I think this is a system error from them. One lady here had the same issue. But she was granted after a week or so. Be calm.in as much your Soa is genuine! Or is it not genuine? |
