Yes it is a lot. But in any country where they reopen, they will only operate based on their capacity, getting appointment dates will be a competition. Not everyone will get a date that suits them, some people will still have to defer or start online. They reopened in Korea, I'm sure they have more yearly F-1 applicants than Nigeria Eniolakiite: |

When I said incoming Nigerian students should forget about visa for Fall, people accuse me of trying to deprive people of their optimism. Nigerians take things to heart without proper evaluation. The moment Covid 19 started, Bill Gates and dem dem prophesied doom for Africa. Do you all think Americans believe the low Covid 19 cases coming out of Africa. Hell NO You have an anti immigration POTUS that is claiming he has done a GRE AT job handling Covid 19 and that the US has lots of cases because they are doing more test. He's implying that other countries (shit hole countries) are not reporting lot of cases because they are not even testing. The same POTUS banned Nigeria from immigration visas last year and you think he will send his agents to reopen embassy in Nigeria just like that. The problem is the POTUS and his administration doesn't believe in the numbers coming out of Nigeria and Africa in general. Sadly Nigeria can afford to keep its international airspace closed. The minister of education already said he is ok with school children missing one full academic year and priviledged Nigerians are flying international even with the closed airspace (as am speaking, a chartered airplane just left MM2 for Toronto with Nigerian-Canadians and Nigerians with Canadian permanent residency). If the current rubbish continues, spring semester ain't even sure for Nigerians 10 Likes 1 Share |

Sheke01: your argument looks quite constructive up there, especially the 1st three paragraphs. However, in my opinion, the major reason for the closure of the embassy is not unconnected to the rising cases of Covid-19 in Nigeria. This is evident once you compare our case with that of nations like Jamaica, Bermuda, Seychelles and the South korea where routine visa services have started. Their combined figures is actually less than 50% of ours. Fingers crossed. Things could turn around. |

Schrodinger1:China and India has not opened too. I was thinking they'd even let them open due to the money they make yearly from their F-1 applicants. If those guys don't open, I don't think Nigeria would. |

Friedpotato: As you’ve said up there,opening of embassy has nothing to do with trump! It is the DHS that controls that! And in this covid situation,it’s for the embassy to report the local situation in the country they’re in to DHS and they can get the go ahead to open! 2 things delaying the embassy is the Nigerian airspace that’s still closed (They mentioned it in an interview they did on their FB page) and the numbers of the covid situation in Nigeria! Airspace will open soon and they will have to work around the later,maybe applicants will get tested before traveling,self isolate on arrival,stuff like that! We just have to work around it! And why is anybody not mentioning that America itself is just starting to get some relief from covid? 2 Likes |

[b][/b][i][/i]My mail to the Lagos Consular and response from them this afternoon: Dear U.S. Consular, I am a doctoral (PhD) student of the Department of Economics, University of New Hampshire, to resume this Fall. I was given a Graduate Assistant (GA) job and I am expected to resume on the 11th of August, 2020, which is also the date for the commencement of classes. I, therefore, kindly request an emergency Visa appointment to enable me to start up the program and the job appointment. Thanks. Lagos EmergencyLagosNIV 11:41 AM (31 minutes ago) to me Hello, At this time the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos is closed to student visa operations. In a time of routine operations, applicants can apply for expedited appointments, to "skip the line" so to speak. As we are closed, there is no line to skip. The U.S. Consulate will publicize any announcement on the resumption of student visa interviews once information is available. Respectfully, Lagos Visa Unit 3 Likes |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Nobody: 10:31pm On Jul 20, 2020 |
gpercuxionz: Login to your application portal and navigate your account. There should be a section that allows for deferment to either the spring or fall academic term. Some schools would ask you to state your reason for deferring. This might not apply to all schools. You can also mail the graduate admission office of your school to guide you. |

The dates for each embassy or consulate will depend on local conditions.

What if the situation doesn't change before spring. This stuff doesn't make any sense, when they can mandate masks and ensure social distancing. The international travel excuse is sensible but the COVID one is somehow. 100 of thousands of people were on the street for George floyd, caboodle of them wore masks with zero social distancing. A recent research showed that the recent rise in COVID cases is not related to the protests held, so it's proven that masks do go a long way. Maybe I'm just reasoning it like this cause I'm the one affected. 2 Likes |

Friedpotato: I feel your point. I have my own analysis too; but unfortunately, how or what we think is inconsequential. They do not consult us before making their decisions. Ultimately, they will open when they deem it safe and convenient for their staff. Apparently, pressure from emails and Twitter isn't helping much. 1 Like |
