Hello,

How much to clear 2015 Mercedes C300. Grimaldi. Please give me a quote for both full payment and short pay

Hello y'all

Just wondering, how far apart can someone's bank statement can be from the day it was printed out to biometrics date? Like many days or weeks apart can be reasonable?

Thanks in advance

# walks in #

ya guys are really doing a great work here. Keep the good spirit going and hope to see y'all at the next Nigeria independence parade, depending on the state u are in the U.S.

bunmixtra:

please can one go with an old I20 resumption was for middle of this year and attach with a cover letter through email from school stating new resumption date as my new I20 is yet to be gotten and my interview is on d 5th of Dec

@ Bunmixtra, you will definitely need a valid I20 for both your interview and when u wanna enter the U.S. The same thing happened to me. My I20 expiration date falls to the date of my interview, so i asked my admission officer for a cover letter but she told me the cover letter wont work, that i will need a new I20. Fortunately i got my visa with the current I20 so i was sent another I20 to enter the US since the previous one expired on my interview date. You gonna need a valid I20 for both your interview and entry into the U.S. No back up letter can work.

Have a good time y'all.

1) Saying "I has", not knowing the correct spelling of "clue", using present tense where you should have used past, and your composition in general, is a clear indication that the school made a mistake in waiving TOEFL for you. If you make it obvious in front of the VO, then you got a problem.

2) Just to be safe, since you have a lot of time before going for your interview, why can't you write TOEFL?

3) I think you should schedule your interview a little later.

4) You have to improve your English before going for your interview.

So funny why people are afraid and hate the young lady at counter 1 in the Lagos consulate. I think i like her. She was the one that interviewed me and i got my visa. Even though the interview was lengthy and she asked many questions. Well, I thank God i made it. This explains that you guys going for your interview soon at the Lagos consulate should be well prepared as you cant predict the consular that will interview you. Good luck y'all

USBound:

@HOUSE: I was asked to come on Friday for the passport. But I've read of folks here picking theirs the next day. Can I go tomorrow? WIll it be ready then?

Also, my I-20 was retained. Am I getting it in the pick-up envelope?

Congrats bruv. You made it at last. I would advise you to go for the passport pick up at the specified date by the consular as you may be disappointed if you go earlier, though I know you will be kinda anxious which is normal, lolzz. Believe me, it happens to me too. Concerning the I-20, it will be returned to you upon pick up of your visa. My I-20 too was retained when my visa was granted but it was returned to me on passport pick up. Congratulations once again and enjoy your stay in the US.

Regards,
Shewhy

babatulla:

Went for my interview in lagos yesterday and it was quite a painful experience for me,

Couldn't print my sevis receipt online before my interview, but payment was already made.

My appointment was for 7a.m got to the consulate around 6:15 / 6:20 a.m. Was called in for the regualar checks and all, behold, my visa application receipt wasn't with me, was given 90 Mins to go get it. Dashed home like a mad dog, had to even take a bike back to the consulate to avoid running out of 90 Mins. I understand they do interview just one set on Fridays, nothing like 10a.m apptment. Made it there before the 90Mins elapsed. Was part of the last 10 to be interviewed.My tally number was 127 that last person's number was 134.

My interview went lyk this
V.O : Hello
Me: Good Morning

Me: passed him my i20 and docs,
V.O: where r u going to ?
Me: Bleep state univ.

VO: and u r going for masters in ?

Abeg wetin I do wrong ?, the guy no check transcript, e no check anything, he just dey deny ppl, he just came there to assist other V.Os ni, how I wish I was interviewed by the lovely ladies in window 1 and 2. Comments pls.

Sorry about your denial bruv, you can always give another shot. Were you interviewed by the black guy at the consulate? In fact, all the male consular at the consulate are mean. I was lucky to get interviewed by the lady on spectacles at window 1 and i got the visa. I am sure you will get the visa, if you do not give up. God be with you

USBound:

@HOUSE: My interview is for 10 am. Should I get there by 7 am or just chill till 9 am? Please those who went to LAGOS for interviews recently, pls reply.

@HOUSE: Recent applicants to the LAGOS EMBASSY, please identify who the consulars are and if there's anyone like the chinko woman in ABUJA to avoid?

Since your interview is 10 am, I dont see any point in you getting there as early as 7 am. You will have to hang somewhere till 9:50 am when they start calling 10 am applicant so its advisable to get there around 9:30. And also, I'm not sure if you could avoid consulars in the Lagos consulate. You will be given a ticket with a number at the interview center entrance. The computer will call your ticket number when it get to your turn, to go to the next available consular for your interview. Your ticket number will appear on a screen at the consular post already so i dont think you will be able to avoid it. If you dont stand up when they call ur ticket number, they make skip you and you may not have the chance to get interviewed again. Just pray for the best result from any consular u are directed to. Good luck buddy.

OK - This is how my interview went. I got to the consulate at 10:00 PM, went in immediately and passed through the security checks. When i got into the interview center, I am to pass through another security check so i was called by a lady in window 8. She checked my DS-160 form and informed me that there was an error with my name that i should go and fix it in 30 min. I quickly rushed out to a cybercafe, got it fixed and entered for my interview back. I was called by another woman and i passed the security check this time. One funny thing that i observed was that my passport and my i20 was not returned to me after the checks, and i noticed that they return it to others. I just sat down waiting for the thumb print guy to call me to come and collect my passport, not until i heard the computer announced my ticket number to go to window 5 for the interview. I stood up with courage and to my surprise, my passport and other docs is with the lady to interview me already. I made a quick silent prayer cos i was expecting the call that fast. My ticket number is 124 and they were still attending to people with ticket 105. just wondering why the call my ticket number that fast and why they give the VO my passport and not returning it to me. The interview went thus

Me: Good morning maam
VO: Good morning

VO: It appears that you want to go and study in the US
Me: Yes maam

Hello y'all. Just to tell you i got my visa today at the Lagos consulate. Even though i have been bounced twice at Abj in Jan and Feb this year respectively but i never give up. I thank everyone for there posts and comment here. It really helps. Keep the nairaland spirit going and hope to see y'all in the Nairaland party in the U.S, lol. One love

skelewe:

hello house,first i'll like to say to God be the glory great things he has done, today i got my visa and was asked to come pick it up next week,and this is after 2 attempts this was my 3rd trial this only goes to show that all hope is not lost as long as u believe in God so @shewhy i hope u are listening just like i told you the last time just be prayerful and prepare yourself you will surely get yours in Jesus name and of course this also goes out to all others who have tried and failed b4 your dreams will come thru.

fianlly the lady who interviewed me did not return my I-20 and SEVIS recipet hope that is not a problem and i will be able to get it back when i go pick up my passport next week

@Skelewe. I am so happy for you. You have really gingered me. Though i haven't give up but your success story really brought a relief. I am so happy for you. Do you mind if we could talk privately on IM. You can send me your IM info or add me up on freshpink007. Take care

Please o my brothers here. To be candid, I dont know what to do anymore so please, I am open to advice and corrections. All advice would be appreciated. A friend of mine said i can tell the consular that i work with a travel agent and later proceeded to the aviation school but I dont know if that could work out since I have gotten a history with them. Please put me through.

I'm kinda confused here. I dunno what to do anymore. @4ril, would you mind if we talk on IM? you can add me up in a way of freshpink007 via yahoo or you can just send me your IM info. God bless

@ Everyone, I aint Mr perfect here so I am open to corrections and advice. I thought it would be OK for me to say what I have been doing since, when I have the docs to back em up but with the light of things here, it is like I'm getting it all wrong. With highest respect, all the gurus in the house should please advice me on what to do. If there is anything else that I could say so I can fill up the gap, Please let me know asap as I am hoping for another interview real soon. God bless

Regards

@ Ojap, you may actually think I am lying about working with my dad but i can confirm the sincerity of it. I stayed with my dad immediately after my high school and I spent some years there. I dont see any reason i would be lying to the VO about that when i have the document to back it up and I can even explain on anything about the business. Come to think of it, If I now lied to the cons about doing a total different thing when I dont even have any documents to back it up and cant explain on it, that would be a total mess. So I prefer telling the truth and I know God will favor me one day with my sincere application.

Regards

@ Superbrain: The amount in my I - 20 is 43k USD and the course is just for a year. The balance in the statement is over 30M, both on my first trial and second - even though the consulars dont even check the bank statement in both interviews. My Dad is into Lumbering, all this wood processing stuffs and he have a big functioning sawmill. I was just encouraged to know about the family business, being the only son so I worked in his company from 2003 to Dec 2008. I later proceeded into an aviation sch here in Nigeria from the period of 2009 to 2010. After finishing the course and having my certificate, I started my US school application.

Thank you for your word of encouragement and advice Skewele. God will be with you as you proceed with your third and definitely your last trial. Take care bro

@ Superbrain, This was how the whole thing went. I applied into Phoenix East Aviation school. I am actually going for a professional piloting course. I am to start my training in March and I have all the necessary documents from them. I have all other documents too, like my aviation school certificates, High school certificates and Testimonial, my popman bank statement, Company's certificate of incorporation, Tax clearance certificate, his company's letterhead sponsorship letter, Letter from the bank, Sevis receipt print out as well as my own property docs too. I was scheduled for my first interview on Jan 18 in ABJ at 1.00 PM. I got there and follow the norm protocols. unfortunately, there was only 1 consular attending to people which is the famous strict Chinese Lady so i have no choice than to face her. She has refused up to 7 applicants before me. when it was my turn, I stood up with courage, and silent prayer within my mind and went to her. She asked me lot of complicated questions and i started stumbling. I have forgotten most of the questions she asked but i could remember they are tough questions. She didn't even check any of my docs. Eventually, i was denied the visa and i went out of the embassy. I traveled back to my base and started thinking of the way forward. I planned to reapply then I checked the VFS website on the following day. I got a date for February 11 in ABJ. I booked the date immediately and I started preparing myself. I used all the documents for my previous application for the second one as well, It was only my popman bank statement that was updated.

On the day for my second interview, I went to the embassy with all normal docs like my I 20, credentials, as well as my Dads Bank statement, company's certificate of incorporation and tax clearance. I used my Dad as the sponsor. This was how my interview went

VO: What are you going to do in the US?

Me: I am going there to study.

VO: Can i see your I - 20?

Me: Sure (I showed him and he went through it)

VO: When did you finished from high school?

Me: I finished 2002

VO: What have you been doing since then.

Me: I worked in my Fathers company. I happened to be the only son of the family so i was advised to know about the family business. I worked with him for some years. After knowing all about the business, I requested that i want to go for my preferred career and it was granted by my Father. Then I proceed into the aviation school.

VO: So do you go to any school here?

Me: Yes, I went to an aviation school

VO: Can i see your transcript?

Me: I showed him

VO: Can you explain the piloting course?

Me: I explained.

He now asked me to do a fingerprint which i did.

VO: I'm sorry I wont be able to issue you the visa this time.

I just pack my docs and get out from his face but I kept wondering the reason for my denial.

Is there anyplace that i am to be corrected cause i still have the intention of re-applying. Please get back to me with any advise.

Please forgive any typo and error, I am sending this from my phone. Regards

@ omotohhawt. Everyone there at the embassy was asked to do the fingerprint that day, either u were given the visa or not. Also, I have been firstly interviewed like 3 weeks ago but it was on this same admission process. That was my first trial. The information is still the same, no difference.

@ Ojap. I am going for a Pilot training course and the school is Phoenix East Aviation Inc. I have my I 20 and the school dont require any standardized exam. I went to the embassy with all normal docs like my I 20, credentials, as well as my Dads Bank statement, company's certificate of incorporation and tax clearance. I used my Dad as the sponsor. This was how my interview went

VO: What are you going to do in the US?

Me: I am going there to study.

VO: Can i see your I - 20?

Me: Sure (I showed him and he went through it)

I just pack my docs and get out from his face but I kept wondering the reason for my denial. @ Ojap please enlighten me if there is anywhere i need to improve.

Regards

@ Layric - I have added you up in a way of freshpink007. Please lets chat. I have the mind of going for another interview next week. The funny thing is that there is no interview date available at the VFS website and I think of using the expedited interview but there was a note that says that the emergency interview is not for people that has been refused a visa in the last six month. I dont know what to do bro.

@ Layric . I was interviewed yesterday and I am suppose to resume school by March 14. I have contacted my school and my school's representative said he can help me forward documents to the embassy on my behalf prior to my next interview. Have you ever hear of something like that before? Can it work out?

@ Layric, I did not apply for the DV lottery and the VO didn't ask me anything about that.

@Denio215. I cant say this is the specific reason I was denied. He asked me questions and I answered correctly. I was able to demonstrate my course to him. He asked for my I-20 and school documents which i showed him. All he would say was that he cannot give me the visa this time. I'm so confused {He dey do me make i slap him from the glass, lol}, but really its pissing.

@House, I want to know if schools can send documents to embassy on a student behalf. I think if they can do so, It would make the visa process easier. Please Let me know your opinions about this.

Regards

House please pray for me o. I am still having problem securing my visa. I was refused again today with no genuine reason by the consular. I answered all questions correctly with no jittery but the idiot said he cannot give me the visa at this time. {maybe the VO wan chop the visas ni, i dunno} Please pray for me as I consider going for the third trial, hopefully my last time. I am suppose to resume in school by March.

Regards

Congratulations Naggy - u deserve the green tag man.

@tee.baba. what we gonna do now?

same here @smoothsail. I need the interview date so bad too. I hope the embassy fix that soon

Please house, I need an interview date at ABJ so bad. What do we do about the non availability of interview dates at the embassy. Are they gonna update it later?

Regards
