Hello bro firstly be calm ...I was in this situation as at Monday my school resumes on the 8th could only get a date for 13 January was quite worried and even more when my emergency date was denied but I prayed about it as it was all I could do...I immediately logged in and tried rescheduling and I saw a free date for DEC 30th I was so thankful and happy. So bro just keep praying and trying to reschedule a date might come in your favour...I wish you all the best
Thank you for your response. Please around what time of the day did you get the available date. I will keep trying

You won’t be leaving the airport all through the stopover. Hence, no need for a transit visa.

pls does anyone know the likely implication for a school requesting you to “state other university applied to” in your application
is it compulsory to state it? what is the effect if you did/didn't mention.

Hello everyone,

Please I do like to ask this question.

I want to apply for Fi Visa, I'm in a serious relationship that will lead to marriage any moment from now .

I'm thinking of getting marry before going for the interview. Time is too close for my resumption spring 2020.

What should I fill for my DS 160 my interview will be slated for December or so. Single or married?

Or can I come back during break to get marry ? and later apply for my wife to be an F2 visa .

Though if I fill single in my form is there a way around it when I get marry to her for her to apply for F2 to join me later?

Please i need a sincere reply. Thank you all.

Also if one seeks a 1 week extension from the school, would it sit well with the VO?

As answered on Quora and Reddit, It's not compulsory at all, and it's advised to leave it blank.

Hello everyone.

I have gone through quite a number of messages on this forum and they all seem interesting.
congratulations to everyone traveling out already and to those of us still in the process, good-luck.

Please i love to ask if its a general thing in US or just some schools. I applied for a Masters program at Western Illinois University and Grand Valley State University with my National Diploma and Higher National Diploma certificate. I evaluated my transcript using WES where i had 3.06/4.0.
Unfortunately, i received a mail from WIU that they no longer accept ND/HND for masters application. An heart-breaker.

Please i want to know if there is anyone here who have successfully applied for masters in the US with the ND/HND or you know anyone who have and names of the schools that accepts the ND/HND Certificate and other helpful tips.

I will be reading through for positive replies.
Cheers
