Good day solihp

I was denied this week at Lagos.

The conversation was going fine until the part that I worked in a bank. Needless to say, I'm going for masters in Engineering with full funding.

Me: I worked at ******* as bleep.

VO: A bank?

Me: Yes

VO: That's a hook ( started typing). I can not approve your visa at this time.....

My concern was that I was not given any paper whatsoever to know why the VO didn't approve it.

I have paid for another interview, I am about to choose a date in Abuja, because it has earlier date. Is it possible to reschedule to Lagos after choosing Abuja?

Do I need to complete another DS 160?

Hi sorry to hear about the denial, it doesn't matter if you were given a paper or not, the paper is just a generic paper given to everyone denied.

Also, you might want to post your full transcript so the gurus can determine what went wrong

If you initially chose Abuja, to chose Lagos, you have to cancel Abuja's appointment. You can only reschedule if you're rescheduling to the same location.

And yes, you have a fill another DS form

anikemoses:
No need putting undue pressure on yourselves, simply defer your admission to Fall, that way you have time to seek fundings from the school or other school, y’all also have ample time(120 days) to apply for your visa..

Thank you
I have resigned to deferring my admission to fall. I did get funding but will be seeking external scholarship too and also looking out for the outcome of the schools I applied to in Canada. It is well...

Congratulations to the college applicants that I have selected.

Well, it was not an easy task, reviewing almost 100 emails. Am not a perfectionist, but in all fairness, I tried my possible best.
Those selected know themselves and they are solely free to make comments here. Those not selected should not despair as many more chances will come out soon.

Some call it Christmas gift, while I call it service to humanity in all capacity we can find ourselves.
As at this month in 2016, I was still in Naija fight to get admission overseas. But now I hold an MSEE and am close to a potential PhD.
If not for God and the support I got from people like @Walspring @texterem and many selfless individuals, I would not be in the US myself.

So, glory is to God. We will continue to give back to the community for God's love.
Insha Allah, I will pay the application fees for them before December ending or first week of January.

UPDATE:

I received almost 60 emails and I tried my possible best to respond to almost everyone, even within my busy schedule.
I faced so many challenges as many entries/applicants/students failed to provide the actual details of documents I had initially requested.

NOTE:
**There is a difference between WES Credential Report and WES iGPA calculator ( I did NOT request for an iGPA)
**The GRE is sufficient irrespective of the score, but many gave me a score where I could not even see their names.
**This assist is for STEM students
**The Application fee must NOT exceed $60. I expect students to have up to 3 different college choices.

Feedback:
FOR NOW: I have only selected 2 person(s) but will reach out to them before Xmas to finalize the login and pay their application fees.

Other STEM students having a complete authentic WES report and GRE score may still reach out to me.

Congratulations to the college applicants that I have selected.

US INTERVIEW DENIED (16/12/19)
MY WIFE INTEND TO GO HAVE OUR SECOND CHILD IN THE US. They lady asked to see all the price quotes from the Doctor we intended to see in Houston Texas. We intended using WEST HOUSTON MEDICAL CENTRE , Houston Texas. We showed her the total excluding accomodation n flight was $9,200. She took a walk n returned saying that the true cost is $18k, and that the hospital gave us a discounted price. Obviously we had no idea the price was discounted. She went further to say JUST MAYBE IF we could pay the hospital b4 coming for interview... and i told her Hospitals refuse to take money prior to seeing the patient physically.
That's how we were denied.
Anyone had same experience?

I've replied. Check your mail

Hi, i think there's a giving birth thread on travel section, they would be in a better position to answer your question.

All the best.

Princekenuk:
I have read from page one to the current page of this part 15. It's very informative. If you are new here, don't be lazy to read through it. Once you go through it, you ask less questions. Information is power.

I took note of all schools mentioned here but I discovered that some of them didn't appear on msinus.com ranking; meaning that they are unranked or not categorized under A,B,C or D groups. Why are they not ranked?

They include:
1.Southern university, baton rogue
2. Austin peay state university, tennessee
3. Grand valley state university
4. Morgan state university, Baltimore
5. Kean university, new jersey
6. Western michigan university
7. University of North Dakota
8. Tennessee state university
9. University of Baltimore
10 Alabama state university


Hope one will not be disadvantaged applying to these schools?

All the schools you listed are ranked. If a school or program is not ranked, google will state it outrightly that it is unranked. Please, double check your findings.

Good day all, while presenting your requirement to the v o, is it the original or photocopy or do I need to attached the photocopy??

Guys please urgent help is needed. The consulate automatically rescheduled my appointment from the 24th of December to Jan 28th loun loun when my start of classes is 13th of January. I tried requesting for an emergency interview but for reasons known to them , it was denied. I also can not reschedule because it is showing that I have rescheduled once ( please note that I wasn’t even the one that did o, they did ��)

My heart is broken but I’m considering a deferral like someone advised. Now my question is , is it possible to defer to summer so that I start my program during the summer instead of waiting all till fall

I am also wondering if it’s possible for a school to give over 2 weeks extension , wouldn’t it even affect the whole process if you go for interview 2 weeks after classes have resumed

It wholly depends on the school if it accepts summer intakes. Email the international student office of your school to know if you can defer to summer.

Good day, All.

Please, I need someone to put me through on how to re-apply after a denial (F2). Do I have to use my previous DS 160 number or I will have a new one for the re-application process?


Thank you, all.

You need to fill another DS 160 form and update the number on the visa page

Hello Team,

Trust you are good.

I am new here and got a couple of questions to ask for persons that applied for masters or studying finance or accounting related courses in USA

I will like to find out the following:
1. How long the admission process takes
2. Was GRE or GMAT waived for you? I was told commercial courses don’t need them
3. If 2 is yes, What is the school like and list then them? From your personal experience I.e. for anyone currently studying there.

This is to guide my decision, pls help a brethren

I believe commercial courses need GRE preferably GMAT the most, how else are the schools going to guage your quantitative abilities? To the best of my knowledge, it is majorly art courses that get aptitude test waivers. Well any school can decide to waive tests for applicants just to solicit more applications (very few would do that), but for you to attend reputable business schools, your GMAT/GRE has to be solid.

@walspring, and all the guys who put the discounted GRE offer together, thank you so much. God bless you guys real good. We appreciate what you guys are doing by given back to the community.

...but my challenge is how to update the number. I tried filling another DS 160 form but seeing another number.

PS: @solihp, I will still invite you to have lunch/dinner with my family. Don't ask how I got to know you, because I won't say it until a get a visa.

Wow! Congrats. Where did you have the interview?

Sorry for the late reply; My interview was in Lagos.

I got my TOEFL registered at a discount price! Thanks to @Walspring and all the benevolent people who made it possible. God bless you all.

PS: @solihp, I will still invite you to have lunch/dinner with my family. Don't ask how I got to know you, because I won't say it until a get a visa.

Yes, you'd get another number, so you go to your visa page, after paying another visa fee and you're about to schedule another appointment, you'd be asked for the DS 160 number, then you just update it.

@PS. Oh really, since you don't want me to ask, i won't

All the best
