Visa Approved.

My interview was by 8:00m but I got there by 5:29am. I met 6 people there already waiting and I joined them. When it was some minutes to 6am,a woman asked us why came this early and we told her some of us had appointment by 6am,she was so shocked. She said she was expecting 7am as the earliest time for appointments.
So,she took her time before she started attending to us. We were asked to line up and we did security check before we started going inside the building in 5.
The V.O denied the first two ladies. They were married and working. Only one came with her kid. The 6 people that followed were given. Two were going for undergraduate,one PhD and 3 masters. Three have started their courses online.
I was the 9th person that was attended to.

V.O:- Where are you going?
Me:- I am going to Georgia state university for my master's degree in Chemistry.
V.O:- Why this school?
Me:- The university has a strong reputation for research, innovation and diversity, I believe it would be an exciting place to be as I would be offered varieties in (he cuts me)
V.O:- Tell me things I can not find on the school website. You are telling me things you crammed from the school website
Me:-( Looking at him without saying anything because I was so confused)
V.O:- How many schools did you apply to?
Me:- Six
V.O:- Name them
Me:- Marquette university,Texas Tech, Bowling Green, Auburn university,Ohio university and GSU.
V.O:- Did Marquette give you admission?
Me:- No

V.O:- Okay(types for some minutes). I intend to approve your visa,we are having problems with our reciprocity fee payment,you will have to come back tomorrow to pay it. Thank you
Me:- You are welcome ( I was shocked when he told me thank you,I said you are welcome in reflex).

Goodluck to everyone in line to be interviewed. And to the incoming muleriders on these thread, I wish you all the best. Can't wait to welcome you all.

I saw in on the page that Purpose of travel is to begin or resume a valid program of study in the United States within 60 days when no regular Visa appointment are available. I’m currently doing my masters online but the start date for Spring is Jan 10. Can I go ahead to Request for Emergency Appointment or wait till 60days to resumption?

Please go ahead and request it. They’ve been giving emergency dates to people even when it’s not 60days till their program yet.

Please, is it advisable to request another emergency appointment (by fiilling that form from the Lagos Consulate) if yours was canceled?

Had to put the details here, the interview was fast, it was more of a casual discussion.

Hi guys. Please I need some help answering questions on my DS 160 form.

Here are my questions:

For intended date of arrival, do I pick any date within my earliest date of arrival and my program start date? And is it a must that I book my flight to that day eventually?

‘Have you made specific travel plans’. What do they mean? I’m thinking ‘no’ because I haven’t planned for flights or anything.

‘Address where I’ll be staying’ - can I just write my school’s address?

Those who have filled the form, did you actually fill out all your social media usernames in the part where they asked for social media presence?

Also, if I choose ‘not employed’ in the form, will that be a problem during the interview and will I have explanations to do?

Lastly, please am I supposed to ask my school to send the original copy of my GA offer letter or a colored printout will do?

I know the questions are many but I’ll appreciate answers to anyone of them. Thank you. ��

thedsl:
Hi everyone.

Please I need clarification on something and I’ll appreciate if someone can help.

My school emailed my I-20 and asked me to print it in colored to show their signature in blue and I should also sign in blue.

I emailed them to ask if I can go ahead and pay the shipping fee so they can send the original (as I’ll still need original at the port of entry) but they said the one they sent should serve for both visa and traveling, that they are not mailing any I-20s.

Please does anyone have this issue or know about this? Can that document serve for both visa and travel?.

Thank you.

Hey, print color and sign with blue pen. you will be fine

I currently teach in a university,

I was trying to say that and explain how it is important to my career but I guess he saw it on his computer. So, I didn't need to say it.

Hi guys, please it's urgent!
for the VISA fee payment, I don't have a GT Bank account/app. Does anyone know if it is possible to use another person's GT bank app to make payment online?

Thank you in advance for answering my question

Yes, it is

Do I need to pay my sevis fee before applying for the emergency visa interview?

Try another browser or network. You can use chrome with an airtel network. It works faster

Agnestardom:

It depends on what you mean by emergency interview. If it's the regular interview scheduled individually by the Lagos embassy, you can pay the SEVIS fee even after you've been given an appointment date. However, if you're referring to getting an expedited interview date, then one of the requirements is the proof of payment of the SEVIS fee.

I don’t have any info on Abuja embassy. I’m talking about the Lagos Consulate.

zeeLady:

Kindly see the reply by “Sharon8” above. That should answer your question.

sonofakin:
Yes, it is

solihp:


You can just fill another DS160 by retrieving the old one. Then update the DS-160 number on your visa profile.

Thank you so much for your response.

You are an angel

Ensure you are using a computer. What network do you use?

MTN....In fact, I connected my data to a laptop- same thing! Keeps repeating itself.

MTN doesn't work so well with filling that form. I'd suggest you switch to airtel network if you have one.

Good evening house, anyone applying to Colorado State University for next year fall session? I want to ask about GRE requirement?

Newdawn123:
Hello house, I have a little issue; I filled my DS-160 last week and I input every information on my data page however, the information of my passport was for the soon to expired one, now I have a new passport and the number isn't the same and that's contrary to what I was told. Now, what can I do to change the old passport number to the new one on the DS-160 I already submitted?

Hello,
Please how much does it cost for renewing of passport. Mine will expire in December 2020

Thanks a lot

Goodluck in the US

Use a different network. Glo, Airtel, or use a different Mtn sim. I experienced what you are experiencing. I used a different sim it worked well.
