Nascent: I told him I was going for my masters in business analytics and he was fine with it. He didn’t say anything. I think they know cos the program always has a code at the end of it. Like mine was management science 52.1301 |

visa denied..lagos embassy 6:45 a.m i think the reason for my rejection was that i was unable to convince d v.o enough why i am switching from economics (bsc) to masters in business and administration , i explained that i have been working in a bank for over 2 years and that a masters in business administration will give me a competitive advantage when applying for top management position in my organization . thanks to everyone on this platform, questions and answers provided on this forum really goes a long way and preparation is really all that matters. thank u all |

Please may I contact you please....?? quote author=omohakin post=79190594]Hello House, My VISA was approved today at the Abuja Embassy I will like to say a Big Thank you to everyone who finds time to share valuable information here. This platform has helped me all through this process. My Key Profile Washington State University, Pullman M.Sc. in Civil Engineering (Geotechnical Engineering option) Graduate Research Assistant Position (Full tuition waiver and monthly stipends) No standard test taken: It wasn’t required by the institution (I am not advising this but I couldn’t help because of some constraints. Although I have previously written IELTS 2015) Refused Canada Study Visa twice 2017 B.Eng Civil Engineering MY TRANSCRIPT as much as I remember ME: Good morning ma VO: Good morning, Pass me your Passport and I-20 (an aged white woman- window 9) ME: Alright ma. Here it is VO: oohh…you’re going to Washington State University (she glanced through my I-120). She nods. why this school? ME: Aside being offered a GRA position that comes with a full tuition waiver and monthly stipends, I have vested interest in the current research of Prof. Bleep on unsaturated soils. Geotechnical engineering research at WSU is carried out in collaboration and supported by funds by the US National Science Foundation, US Department of Transportation, US Department of Energy and US Federal Highway Administration and other private companies. Also… (VO cuts in) VO: What will you do after your program ME: I will return to Nigeria and Take up a Senior Project Engineer Position with Julius Berger NIg. I had my internship here and they give priorities to past interns more so haven added an international exposure, this is be a great advantage for me. I…(VO Cuts in) VO: I see you applied to Canada ME: yes ma, that is true. I applied in 2017 for a study visa but was refused. The VO raised concerned about my financial ability to fund this program. I…. (VO nods……and cuts in) VO: Do you have a letter from the department confirming your assistantship and funding ME: Yes ma. I do. (presented the letter) VO: (she read thru the dept. letter thoroughly) …I can see you have to pay a residence fee of 1k USD. How will you pay that? do you have a financial statement? ME: yes, ma I do (I presented my dad’s Fixed deposit bank statement for the past 3months), it is my dad’s statement…. (VO Cuts in) (although the money will be deducted gradually from my monthly stipends as stated in my letter. My monthly stipend is close to 2k USD. I didn’t say this as I felt it will show I don’t have any personal fund) VO: oohh. your dad. What does he do? ME: He is a principal manager (electrical) with Bleep. He… (VO cuts in) VO: oohh I see your dad is also an engineer ME: Yes ma. He is an electrical engineer. VO: (VO nods) …congratulations, your VISA is approved. She started saying the regular things of don’t overstay stuff, make sure you do this do that…present your I-20…e.t.c ME: yes maa. I do understand …. Thank you… (I took my leave) Too many refused Visas during my stay in the hall. I think I saw just like 3 approvals…one old couple, a guy which I saw had full funding also and a young lady who said she came to renew her VISA. She is an undergraduate at Ohio State University. Above all Preparation and Effort(s), God favored me. A big thank you to Bwiizy, Solihp for their support. Also, I never fail to go through comments made by Bracelum, Time2win, Brown2Green, Shawarma and others too many to mention. I wish those awaiting their interview, admission or funding Success.

N2B2:hello did you do wes? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by YorubaNinja: 12:57am On Nov 21, 2019 |
N2B2: Glad to see someone coming to Hamline. As an Almuni of St. Cloud State University (BS.c) and Hamline (MBA), I'll advice you not to tell the VO you applied to two different schools in the same state. For your 2nd school of choice, mention a different school in another state probably Wisconsin, Iowa or Illinois. You can search for schools in those states offering ur program. Else you can raise suspicion (Fact) that out of >6,000 U.S schools, you decided to go for schools within the same state. Except you've got very valid and objective reasons. Remember, there's no right or wrong answers... just good, better or best ones which they usually go for the latter. Be confident and, hopefully the VO gives you benefit of doubt (as they usually give most students) to express yourself. Make it more like a conversation btw you and the VO and, don't be intimidated. You don't wanna come across as desperate or a do or die thing. Be brief, straightforward, direct and OBJECTIVE with your answers as you've only got like 3mins to prove yourself, maybe 5mins to convince those fvckers. Dont over-dress (dress very simple like that typical Nigerian student), maintain direct eye contact with the VO (its just an American thing), mind your body language, effective communication is key as, some applicants are so poor in that regards which is sufficient for denial. Make sure all your documents are readily available upon request. You'll be fine. When you get it, respond to this... Hopefully we spend this Christmas together here in the Twin Cities. Anyway, goodluck! 7 Likes |

Please I need help I made a mistake in my ds-160... The mothers maiden Name i used is different from the name I used as sponsor which I said my mother is my sponsor I hope that will not cause any problems for me... pls reply me and is there a way to edit information in the ds-160 document after submitting |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by YorubaNinja: 5:49am On Nov 21, 2019 |
wue1: Well, you need to book an appointment at the Embassy soonest and time isn't really on your side. Contact the school's Director of International Admissions or whoever is responsible for issuing and signing the I-20. If it's ready and pending the time it reaches you, advice them to scan and send you an electronic copy so you can at least use the info to complete the DS-160 and also to book appointment. Since you mentioned you've once been refused, I'm hoping your SEVIS is till under a year. If that's the case, you'll also need to do a SEVIS transfer online to get a new one. But this is a subsequent step after the issuance of ur new I-20. I hope this helps. 1 Like |

Memerazzy: Firstly, don't bring it up unless the Interviewer mentions anything about it. We tend to have numerous names in our culture and you can take advantage of that. Those are simple cosmetic errors but due to our bad image and negative perception, you might need a bit explanation. If asked. OR You can simply say it's one of the numerous middle names of your mum interchangeably uses. |

Memerazzy: See below how to create a new ds160 if you need one solihp: |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by wue1: 12:10pm On Nov 21, 2019 |
YorubaNinja:Thank you for your response I’ve a new servis number and paying for Sevis fee can you help me pay as soon as possible or should wait till next session cause I have worked on the travel history issue |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by YorubaNinja: 12:19pm On Nov 21, 2019 |
wue1: You don't have to pay for a new SEVIS if it's still less than a year. SEVIS only expires after 1-yr. Since you got a new number, just go ahead online and do a transfer to the new one. 1 Like |
