greenskittles: Guy, sorry for probing too much on your wondrous achievement, but I wanted to ask: please give an idea of the university you attended, also what about your secondary school? Public, private or federal? Did you ever take SAT? Were your WAEC and JAMB math high scores? e.g. A1 waec and >75 jamb? |

learner007: Lol. Not necessarily type I..Some of these things can be random sometimes. A strong profile often does not get accepted everywhere, I have not seen. One must to reject. This guy did well, his hit rate is so good, just one rejection. @stanford guy, would you also mind explaining how you owned the GRE? 320+ is unusual for a Nigerian, even those with impressive GPA |

Admitwithschola: Haha, with this information people that know me irl might be able to figure out who I am ![]() ![]() Undergraduate institution: Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti Secondary School: Obafemi Awolow University International School I wasn't as serious as I became while in the University (where I actually became passionate about what I was studying) but my WAEC was A1 math, B2 Physics, and B3 in the rest. JAMB/UTME was 262. And no, I didn't take SAT, again as at the time I graduated secondary school I didn't really have a clear picture of what I wanted. 10 Likes |

greenskittles: Nice bro, congrats. I am personally impressed. When you come to Stanford, let me know, so I can connect you to Naija and Kenya guys already on ground. There are like 4 naijans in your faculty there, one girl in energy resource engineering, others in elect, mech, etc. Also, we have a top research professor (naija man) in engineering. I strongly believe the naija presence over there in engineering is because of the reputation of this naija prof. These schools are almost impossible to enter and top grades are not enough - but you did it. Congrats again. Reach out! 12 Likes |

The Special Immigrant Visa classes that are accepted are SE, SF, SG, SH, SI, SM, and SQ. However, an individual who wishes to apply for an immigrant visa may still schedule an interview and can disclose during the visa interview any information that might demonstrate that he or she is eligible for an exception or waiver per the Proclamation. A consular officer will carefully review each case to determine whether the applicant is affected by the Proclamation and, if so, whether the applicant qualifies for an exception or a waiver. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nigerian citizens are required to pay a visa issuance fee, or reciprocity fee, for all approved applications for nonimmigrant visas in B, F, H1B, I, L, and R visa classifications. The reciprocity fee is charged in addition to the nonimmigrant visa application fee, also known as the MRV fee, which all applicants pay at the time of application, and must be paid in cash at the U.S. Embassy or the U.S. Consulate General. Please see here for more detail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMMIGRANT APPLICANTS- In order to pick up your immigrant visa issued in Lagos; you MUST create an account on www.ustraveldocs.com/ng.

Registration is free. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective immediately, visa applicants who do not upload their photos when submitting their DS-160 visa application will be turned away and advised to complete their application by uploading a proper photo. This will usually require the rescheduling of their appointment. The process for uploading photos is easy and is thoroughly explained in our on-line application. Avoid disappointment and delay—upload your photo as part of your visa application! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applicants are to ensure that the DS-160 confirmation number on their DS-160 confirmation page matches with the DS-160 number on their appointment confirmation letters. Any changes to applicants’ profiles must be made at least 3 working days prior to their scheduled appointment day. It is important that the most recent DS-160 confirmation code matches the DS-160 code on the appointment letter on the day of your appointment. Applicants will be turned back at the Consulate/Embassy if their DS-160 numbers do not match. 1 Like |

My cousin's tough visa experience; advise needed. He got a full funding and had attended visa interview twice but unsuccesful in all. The first one, the CO said he was preaching her. She also asked him how he could leave his family for 4 years. And what business the wife does. The second interview after the first refusal, another CO asked him about standard tests. And other schools he applied for. He produced a GRE result that had the name of a school he didnt mention; the result was merely sent to the school but he didnt actually conclude the application. He was not allowed to explain. He was summarily refused again. Though the funding is still valid and school promised to write the Embassy on his behalf but he said he has changed his mind as 2 times refusal means he will never get the visa again. |
