Can you explain further please? I cant seem to schedule a date on their website, it keeps saying no available dates, when I get to the visa priority stage. Snakedoctor1: |

Ok. do you mind giving me an idea,of the date you got when you reserved a slot in June? I want to estimate how far into the year all available slots have been booked. Snakedoctor1: |

Hi everybody, I recently joined this forum as advised by a friend. I am particularly interested in the USA visa thread. i recently secured an admission with the New York Film Academy with a $5000 assistance for 6 semesters. I am admitted for fall but I can only take classes online for this fall. I have a lot of questions as classes resume next week. Should I take fall classes online or defer till next year? What are the chances of securing a visa next semester if I take classes online for the fall semester. All input will be highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance! |

Harvard is currently going online for the fall session, and Nigerians going there will not be allowed into the USA, until December since all classes are online, so ur decision to take all courses online in the fall, will not affect you negatively. Jidebambam: 1 Like 1 Share |

Differ your admission till your program is back in class !!! Don’t take classes online when you don’t have a visa. That’s enough reason to deny your application. The VO may think if you can take classes online then why do you need to get a visa. Jidebambam: 4 Likes |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Jidebambam: 8:11pm On Aug 30, 2020 |
The program is Master's in film production. I was thinking any reasonable VO should realize there has to be hands-on involved in a program like thsi. I'm just afraid I'll lose the $5000 per semester assistance if I defer. ridlaw: |

I disagree with you sir. It in fact, is best to begin now if his school is going in person next session. ridlaw: |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by alexohams2000(m): 1:05am On Aug 31, 2020 |
Hey, I disagree with you, completely. On a good day, there are courses schools won't allow you take completely online. This whole online shit is basically because of this pandemic and as soon as it subsides reasonably, schools are gonna implement those restrictions again making it impossible to take "commonly in person classes" online. My school for example is trying the first two weeks of class online, for some courses. After two weeks, they probably will make adjustments. Also, international students have the option to take classes online/from any location just for this semester, from Spring, classes will take a normal shape, hopefully. So, if your classes next session are meant to be completely in person and you have all things in place, no VO will refuse to give you visa, except you really mess up at your interview. I rather see beginning online now as an advantage, except your school is still gonna have the option to take classes online next session in which case the VO will probably wonder why you still want a visa for a course you can take online. My suggestion, if your school is completely going in person next session, begin the course right away. It's to your advantage. But if your school is remaining online or is still gonna have the option for online, then, reconsider beginning now, based on your long term plans. Jidebambam: 1 Like |

Its just so sad that the Visa officers treat people with no esteem or regard on these interview. And when you compare with people in other parts of the world, they dont get these unfair treatment.These students have worked hard to gain admissions and want an education to better themselves but achieving their dreams lies in the hands of one person who may or may not give them a fair hearing at a 45 seconds interview. Every country has its shortcomings and just because there are many bad eggs from naija doesnt mean there are no genuine students going to study and hoping to make an impact in the world Goodluck to the guy going to the film academy, hopefully one day we go see you for the next black panther movie and you will make naija proud. These unnecessary inequitable treatment to prospective naija students to USA too will pass someday. alexohams2000: 3 Likes |

Matinho: Nobody treats us unfairly. These people are paid to do their jobs, so don't blame them. Get into a good program, make sure your finances are in great shape, prove your genuineness at the interview, and get your visa. What's so difficult about it?? 4 Likes |

alexohams2000: There are no guarantees that in-person classes would resume by Spring. Most Professors and students even prefer the online classes, and many schools are already adapting to this hybrid system. COVID has shown that remote learning is very possible. The folks mainly affected are international students, due to our visa status and its inherent restrictions. 1 Like |

ridlaw:You people will just come and make unnecessary generalizations and factless conclusions. You can always tell the V.O that your school doesn't offer online classes for your course but that was 'only' made available for fall due to the Coronavirus and it won't be available by spring. The V.Os knows this. Like the case of Havard and other big schools. Apart from that you can always Google why in person classes are better than online classes and tell them one. Taking online classes has it benefits. it proves that you're financially bouyant to be able to have covered your tuition and you might most likely focus on school and not planning to use F1 as a devious means to run. 3 Likes |

True talk brother. The rest of the world don't get same treatment, and we all know why. In as much as we cry out for unfair treatment, we must as well call our brothers and sisters to order. Just look at what is happening in Dubai at the moment. we are the architect of our problems and we certainly need to blame ourselves for it. I came to US same year and in the same school with a guy from a certain African country. It was the Spring semester. One month into the Semester, nigga told me he was going back to his country. Despite my preaching this guy left after the Spring break and never came back. I was curious and asked him what the visa process was like in his country and from what he said, there are very few people applying for Visa and those who apply get it without stress. My point, na we do us! And then, our leaders have also sold us for plates of porridge. Nigeria is more popular for the wrong reasons and it keeps getting worse, sadly. Matinho: 4 Likes |

You absolutely have no idea, how people who had all you mentioned and more got turned back for zero reasons. I got a scholarship for someone in one of the Universities here, with accommodation, 4k annual allowance from school, and yes, a strong bank account. I was shocked when he called me to announce he was denied. I was still so optimistic, got his appointment fees paid again, and zoom, he was denied again. There is absolutely unfair treatment but truth is, it's as well deserving. Our brothers and sisters have messed up the system and we are paying for it. pompeiimagnus: |

If covid subsides, there is a guarantee sir. Ask your dean why classes can NEVER remain solely online and he/she will enlighten you what American education system entails and what is needed for certain programs to remain accredited. It is not about what students and teachers want, it is about the regulations of the individual accreditation boards. And to burst your bubbles, you're wrong when you said "Most Professors...", I would rather say, "very few Professors..." pompeiimagnus: 4 Likes |
