MyCaseIsDiffere: Please do not go to your visa interview with anything you've said here - you will be denied. You must understand that by law, visas like B1/B2 and F1 are NOT dual intent visas. That means that you must prove that you have something outside the US that will compel you to return on completion of your studies. 1. You misused your visa. You did not mention your purpose for applying for a visa, you told CBP you would only stay for 2 months but ended up staying for 5 months. That you "had to extend my stay out of concern and friendly obligation" because of your hosts' medical emergency is not a logical excuse. Your host could easily pay for a nurse aide. This excuse will not fly at your interview. Frankly its also clear that this excuse is a lie... - You claimed to have extended your stay as a result of your hosts' medical emergency - while at the same time admitting that you were processing admission to a masters program in the US. When you contacted your employer to request permission to extend your stay, you claimed you wanted to do this on the basis of "self development". Which is it? self development or your hosts' "medical emergency"? If you present the correspondence between you and your employer at your interview, what do you think the VO will think about your lying about your reason for spending 5 months in the US? This is one reason the unecessary highfalutin noise about "god" and "grace" nauseates me. It's all a fraud. You have no problem lying to us, the VO and your employer... even one run by a church. 2. As far as the VO is concerned, staying 5 months simply points to one thing - you do not consider your present job important enough to return to. What ties you to your home country then? 3. CBP stamps almost everyone in for 6 months, that does not mean you should stay in the US for 6 months. Please do not state this at your interview. 4. You admit that your MA in theology is not meant to further your career, neither is it meant to change your career path. You do not need a theological degree to run a theological school. 5. What HDS helps you accomplish is of no value to your visa interview, especially when churches own universities in Nigeria already. Here is the point... your 5 month stay and the fact that you are going for essentially the same degree you already have paints you as someone simply using the school route to emigrate from Nigeria. Why have you not applied for the phd program? That would have made your case much easier. 6 Likes 1 Share |

charliejose: Hope you've picked 19th of August?? As far as it is before your resumption date it is fine. There is no guarantee that you'll be granted an emergency request. So stick to Abuja's date. You'll likely see an earlier date for Abuja as the fall window is winding up. |

Oasishavenng: If i remember clearly USA is one of those countries that at your first POE you must collect your luggage and then recheck your bag. Don't think your bags are sent directly to final destination for interconnecting flights in the US So. .... when you check in at first . Ask if your luggage is been checked to its final destination and please come back to update us so others can be informed 1 Like |

martinz1: Just take a tricycle going to Adeola Odeku, it's #100 and tell the driver you're stopping at the consulate, you just cross to the other side and viola, you're there. It's not that far, average duration of 15mins 4 Likes 1 Share |

Pepperoni001: I think you should go to the nearest branch to you to make enquiries, even GTB sef, they were like they require return ticket, I told them I was on a student visa and that my program is more than one year and return ticket is not required, he made enquiries with his colleague and said I should come when it's around 12days abi 14days to my departure. Just try to explain to them. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

shoyoyebiodun:Well it might cos they have access to it. But if you have a strong usa application, like funding, travel history, good job and salary, excellent proposed transcript you will be approved |

charliejose:Book abuja and try to get an expedited appointment, if it is rejected, I would advise you not to go for the interview cos the probability of being approved one day before your resumption date is like 5% so you can defer to spring but you can try if you want cos life is about trying. |
