Fxbol: Were you placed on AP before the refusal? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Johnolukolade(m): 6:46pm On Jun 18, 2019 |
Fxbol: Well, I think you could have submitted it. The VO who interviewed you might not be the one who got your documents from DHL. I don't know how they run the stuff but I think the reason for your refusal is a "misconception". The person/people who reviewed the SOAs feel the closing balance won't be enough - not knowing you had a scholarship. My thinking BTW. You can reapply bro. |

wow things have really changed since I got my F1 visa almost 20 years ago... thank you so much to everyone that contributes on here. I used a lot of the information from this thread to prepare my sister for her interview. she has been visiting the US almost every year since she was a handheld baby. I will try to give as much of a transcript as possible to give back in my little way. background: undergraduate, sponsored by parents who live in Nigeria. i20 deficit - $18,200, SOA belonging to our dad: around $40k for the past 6 months greetings and passed VO her i20 VO: Why did you choose business administration? A: she gave her reasons and said she will be focusing in Human Resources VO: when last did you visit the US and for how long A: last year and for two months VO: Why did you stay for two months A: for Christmas and to see sister (me) who had a baby *tried to give documentation for birth of her niece and the VO pushed it back* VO: what does she do A: gave answer VO: what company A: forgot and hesitated VO: what are your plans after graduation A: to return to Nigeria and work for a few years before getting MBA VO: unfortunately you don't qualify for the visa To applicants: If you have any immediate family member here, please remember all their basic info, where they work, how many kids, address, immigration status and how they got it, etc. If you are planning to come and study and have all your money, please apply to schools in Canada as backup so these people don't delay your life. If you have no travel history, fear not, because as you can see travel history doesn't equal visa. He didn't collect any document from her apart from i20 and seemed to be hung up on the fact that she spent 2 months here on holiday when she was given a two year visa and has been to the US at least 15 times, as well as other countries. If they are discriminating against non-STEM degrees, well that's just hilarious. We won't be reapplying and will try the more peaceful, serene and happy Canada. ![]() Good luck to all and thank you for sharing all your experiences. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

sharwama: Thanks for your kind gesture, I really appreciate your effort, I will appreciate it according to my pocket (hope I have not crossed my boundary) Intending Transcript ; Good morning Vo : Good morning, pass me your passport and i20 Vo : why are you going to the US I: To obtain my Professional Science Master in Geographic Information System at Eastern Illinois University Vo:What has changed about your last application I:Then I was unable to express myself better on the class I would be excited to attend. Now I realized that I have the courage to let you know that I would be excited to attend the classes on Remote sensing because it would be taken by Prof. ABC, and that course would give me the edge to succeed in what I planned to do in the nearest future as I want to use the knowledge acquired To help Nigeria in many different fields where we are lagging in it application, fields like crime analysis, farming, urban and regional planning and many more. Vo: what will this program do for you? I: it would enable me to tackle major problems that are facing Nigeria in different fields and also it would enable me to establish my consultancy firm where I would become a consultant to different parrastatals like anti crime department, agriculture companies, government agencies etc Vo:Do you write any standardized test I: Non was required for my intending program but I wrote TOEFL and I scored 85 Vo; Do you have a wife? I: no Vo: Do you have kids I: no vo: Have you traveled before? I: No, Until now, I never had any reason to do so Vo: How do you intend to fund your study I: My father would take care of that and I would support that with my savings over the years Vo: Do you have any evidence of his account? I: yes, ( pass his SOA) Please help me to peruse and scrutinize it, I will welcome your contributions and corrections... Thanks for your kind gesture |

Please guys, is it a disadvantage at the interview if the passport is already stamped for student visa to another country (Germany) for the same fall resumption? A friend got scholarship in Germany and had her interview some weeks ago, the Germany Embassy still have her passport and other academic documents. She got Assistantship in US and obviously prefers US. She was told she can request for her passport before it is stamped and maybe return it later. Pls what do you think guys? Allow the passport to be stamped before US interview date in July or request the passport and attend US interview on clean slate? |

I had my interview at the US consulate yesterday. It was pretty basic/generic but here goes: VO: Where are you going? Me: I'm going to the University of Kansas Medical Centre, Kansas City, Kansas for my PhD in Biomedical Sciences. VO: Why do you want this PhD? Me: This PhD will equip me with the skills and training I need to become a successful biomedical researcher and qualify me for a job in academia. VO: So you want to become an academic? Me: Yes. VO: The program is fully funded? Me: Yes, I have a GRA. VO: What is your highest qualification? Me: I have a Bachelor of Pharmacy. VO: When did you obtain this degree? ME: 2016 VO: Are you married? Do you have kids? ME: No and no. VO: Ma'am, I'm going to approve your visa... Let me ramble a bit: I'm not really one to post on online platforms such as these but given all that I have benefitted from this thread, it's only fair to give back however I can despite my reticence/discomfort. I first posted here before I had even started my grad school applications, asking for guidance as I had doubts about the competiveness of my profile and whether I wanted to go for a PhD or a Master's. Imperiouxx, Femi312 and other experienced posters were more than kind enough to allay my fears and offer helpful advice. I came across so many people at the consulate who clearly had no idea what was expected of them by the VOs and I'm doubly thankful I was made aware of this community and its insights. Thanks to everyone who takes out the time to answer questions (sometimes the same ones over and over) and particularly Walspring for helping with my SEVIS payment. Best of luck to everyone still in the throes of applications! 32 Likes 1 Share |

Philtos: In my opinion, tell your friend (which I think is you) to be mindful of misrepresentation. She must have filled in her previous DS160 that she has no relative in the US. It would be flagged as misrepresentation if she changes the story now. On the other side of the coin, she risks falling into the pit of "bad" family record if her mum was once "illegal" in the US. Am guessing her mum was illegal before getting her papers and that prompted her to deny the mum in previous applications. She is likely to fall into the same situation as the lady whose (ex) husband US presence is now a stumbling block, preventing her from getting her F1 visa. Am not encouraging her to stick to her previous lies but any attempt to say the truth right now will not hold water. Once a liar, always a liar. 1 Like |
