Hushee:


Yes, why did you ask?

Okay. Its because of the questions they asked you. Wanted to know what you chose as marital status while filling the ds160 form

kfrosh:
Let me help you guys finish your fight @nahum777 and @

You can say all the right things and still get refused your visa but you can't say all the wrong things and get the visa. End of discussion.

Nahum777:
Very true bro. Some VOs would cut you short when you start to talk about research this and that, they have heard that thing so many times that they get upset when they hear it.

How did you hear about the school?

I did an online research blablabla lol. 10k people the same answers and nothing personal.

Many people don't understand that they are going there to sell themselves and if their product isn't good they won't make sells. This is a great piece of advice.

So if its online research you did to know about the school, you should now lie just to be different. There is no right or wrong answer to getting visa. Be yourself, be confident and let your genuineness show. Leave the rest in God's hand. Atimes you might answer everything correctly and the V.O won't be in the right mood to issue you visa. What worked for you might not work for another. Just be yourself

sunshineluv5:
Bros u lie oga has said another one low tier sch ke?

Rate of refusal is high though but people are getting their visa

I was denied today at Lagos. Transcript goes thus;

Me: Good morning
VO: (didn't reply) Asks for passport and i-20
Me: Passed on requested docs
VO: Why M-1 visa
Me: Its vocational training (Aircraft Pilot)
VO: What do you do?
Me: Am the managing director xyz firm and we do business
VO: What do you sell?
Me: Office and Home furnitures we import and clear too
VO: Cuts in...Why study aircraft pilot now?
Me: I don't have sponsorship and program is quite expensive, so it took me time to be financially prepared for this since I am financing myself
VO:What do you want to do with the training?
Me: I want to work as an ATP (Airline Transport Pilot)
VO: You import cars too?
Me: I used to but business wasn't favourable so I quit
VO: Reaches for and hands me a blue paper and you know the rest.


Note: I went for B1/B2 Last year June and was denied. then I wrote car importation and sales as major business. I waited for one year before enrolling for a flight training school so that this car dealer thing won't pop up, but it still did. I guess that reason for denial. I am going to wait for a month and try again. My Pilot program starts on October 1st

Even if you wait 10years. All your previous details are in their system. I believe there is no correlation with the training you are going for and your present work. You couldn't answer why you are switching too. Work on this area

Hushee:
My first interview (5/12/2017)

Vo: Good Morning, can I have ur passport and i20?

Me: Good Morning Sir (I handed them over to him)

Vo: What are you going to study

Me: Agriculture

Vo: At where

Me: Stephen F Austin state university

Vo: Why Agriculture?

Me: The Federal Government is trying to diversify the economy from the oil sector into other sector and number one on the list is the Agricultural sector, so there is no better time to be a part of this drive than now.

Vo: okay, what will you do with the degree?

Me: I plan to take up a lecturing job at my alma mata, the federal university of agriculture Abeokuta.

Vo: Have u travelled before?

Me: No

Vo: Are you married?

Me: No

Vo: And kids

Me: No

Vo: ok, What will u do after your program?

Me: I will return back to Nigeria and take up a lecturing job at the federal university of agriculture Abeokuta and I will also consult for the federal and state governments through Agricultural research institute such as IITA(international instute of tropical agriculture) and national animal production research institute.

Vo: OK, who will pay?

Me: I have an out of state tuition waiver and my mother will pay for the rest

Vo: What does she do?

Me: she's a very successful business woman, she's into major distribution of dangote products, mix and bake flour, and she also sells rice and oil in large quantities.

Note: He typed all through and when he finally looked at me, he said "unfortunately you are not qualified to receive a visa right now.

Me: Could you please tell me the reason Sir

Vo: The blue paper will explain to you

Me: Alright thank you sir

Vo: OK

Second interview (27/12/2017)

Almost the same with the first, the only difference was that the same guy that did my biometric interviewed me and he was nice until he looked shocked at something he saw on his screen. He also asked if i was married and i said no, he later asked "what of traditional marriage"?, I said no. He then said he couldn't approve me at that time, I asked him to tell me why but he said he's not allowed to do that. I just said thank you and I left.

My third and last interview (3/08/2018)

I decided to change my interview location to Abuja since there will be no time for me to travel to Lagos.

I got to the embassy by 10:07 for an appointment of 10:15

The embassy nearly empty right from the gate and we were like 10 on the queue, I was the last person.
While on the queue, the aged woman was interviewing a Nun who couldn't communicate well in English and after she called an interpreter to help her out, she told the Nun that she wouldn't approve cos if she approved her how will she be able to teach the American Children. But she later changed her mind when the Sister started replying her in English, the woman was too nice so I prayed to be interviewed by her but unfortunately I was called to window 8. I was interviewed by a white lady in her late twenties.

Vo- pass me your documents

Me- OK, good morning Ma'am (no reply)

Vo- Why Stephen F Austin State University

Me- Apart from the fact that I was given an Out of state tuition waiver, the opportunity to work with professor Joey Bray who is a top researcher in the field of poultry science played a major role in my decision. I also spoke with some current students who told me about the structure of the program and tge internship opportunities available at the school, this internship period will provide me with the necessary skills I need when I come back to Nigeria to establish my own farm.
Then she typed for about 15secs

Vo- What did you study at the university?

Me- B.Agric Animal Nutrition

Vo-Who is paying?

Me- My mother and I also got an out of state tuition waiver

Vo- ok

She then typed for like 10secs and gave me the pink paper, and said those terrible words. I was shocked as she barely asked any question.

Me- But why, this is my third time. Why not tell me what is wrong?

Vo- the paper will explain it to you, I've made my decision.

Na so I shake my head and take my L in peace before those security go come disgrace me out.

Thanks to everyone that have been supportive all these years, for your advice and encouragements especially the entire God's own scholar crew, lagosismyhome, walspring, texrem, and others that I can't remember. It's just unfortunate that it ended this way.

Moments like this makes you wonder if God really has a hand in this visa thing but I believe he has some bigger plans for me.

My advice to future applicants:

1. If you have a low gp, evaluate your transcript before you start your application (if I had done this earlier, I would have been in the US before Trump became president cos back then, they approve almost everyone with any form of tuition waiver)

2. Write GRE/GMAT/SAT and TOEFL/IELTS as early as possible and dont write it only when one school ask you to write it, you might rush your preparation and this might affect your score.

3. If you want to increase your chance of approval, don't go to the embassy unless you have full funding(scholarship, Assistantship, or fellowship) or loan. This will increase your chance by at least 80%.

God bless us all.

Is it single you chose as marital status?

Knight1990:

Interview Yesterday

Brigham Young University Idaho's I-20


Vo: Good morning. Could you pass your documents please?

I: Good morning to you too!(passes documents to vo)

Vo: what are you studying?

I: Agribusiness and Management

Vo: why this course?

I: in my years of working in my father's farm I've come to know the one problem of Agric. In Nigeria; the problem is we are not producing enough. Do you know why sir? (Said this to get his attention). It is because we lack something called "improved crop variety".....I continued......this means that our crops are not high performing crops. Take for instance, the palm kernel tree in Malaysia is as short as I am, but it produces high year in, year out.(he looked up) Meanwhile, the palm kernel tree in Nigeria is as tall as this embassy but produces very low. This is because Nigeria's palm is not an improved variety.

Vo: who is paying?

I: my father and I have a partial scholarship too.....(he looked at my I-20 to confirm my scholarship claim) I quickly added "the I-20 was created before scholarship was awarded that explains why it isn't written there."

Vo: what will this degree do for you?

I: I currently work for my father in his farm, I will still work for him after my schooling; but this time I won't be doing clerical duties, but will be managing the day to day activities of his farm.

Vo: You've travelled outta the country before, I see!

I: Yes, to Ghana.....during my service as a Mormon missionary

Vo: your brother is in the US too?

I: yes!

Vo: same school you're going?

I: No.....different school....and I think I miss him, I added.

Vo: Do you have some documents for me......maybe something to support your scholarship claim and maybe a bank statement?

I: I passed him both documents and he examined both for a few seconds

Vo: why did they give you the scholarship?

I: They were impressed by my 2 years volunteer missionary service. Plus, Agribusiness is not a program people run to----everybody wants to be a Doctor, a Lawyer...etc., but nobody wants to provide food. I want to provide food and they(they school) was really impressed by my choice of Agribusiness and my impressive essays too.

Vo: your visa has been approved. We'll let you know when it's ready! (I gave him a big thumbs up)

I: do have a great day, I said to him, to which he replied you too.


Lessons learned:

Tell them what they haven't heard, or at least, something they don't hear very often.
If possible, use objects to explain your points; Jesus Christ always used object lessons to make his teachings meaningful.


Vary the tone of your voice; If I am probably explaining that the unsolved death of my sibling has inspired me to study criminology, i'd say this with a soft, cry-like tone.


I feel the VO only types the strong points we make, not our entire speech and you’re probably making sense, or driving your points home when he raises his head up. I think at this moment(when he raises his head) you need to hit him with more points that supports your case. Don't stop talking when he raises his head!

Finally, I believe we should never listen to advisers that tells us to "be brief and talk less" when facing a Consul.
Well, i'd rather talk a lot and get denied than be brief and after getting denied wish i'd said more!

After all has been said, truth is, we cannot control other people's actions/decisions. We might say and do all things right during our interview with the Vo but still get denied in the end. Remember, most of the time, it is not your fault. It is his fault too-----he was placed with the option of making a wrong and a right decision, and he made the wrong one by denying you!

Congrats

The passport you went with was stamped with Ghana stamp right?

Positivity101:
After 3 weeks on AP, I got a mail from embassy today to go pick my passport from dhl and schedule another 221(g) appointment to speak with an interviewing officer. Any idea what this means?

Maybe there is discrepancy in the documents you submitted. You just have to go there as they said to speak with a visa officer.

kunlelikeme:
I live abroad ,in Germany to be precise and I got a visit visa from here in 2017 and went to yankee for 4months.I came back and got admission for a masters program and applied to change my visa category and was denied.
Transcript
Before I start sef,there was a guy in front on me on the queue,it was his turn but said I should go first,i think he knew say the guy dey deny people...Na my Gog go judge that guy.
JULY 18 2018 US EMBASSY FRANKFURT

So I went to our home office here and renewed my visa..

AUGUST 2ND 2018 US EMBASSY FRANKFURT
As an actor wey I be...Actor no dey die for film .
I have renewed my permit but the card go take sometime but I collected letter from Home office here say I don renew.
Many people wey hold red pali plenty...2minutes dem don finish,one guy na one minute,so I think na so it go be for me too, I forgot say na green I hold.

VO-Good morning
ME-Good morning
VO-Deutsch or English
ME-English
VO-Can I have your passport?
ME-I gave it to him.
VO- What are you going to do in the united states
ME-I am going for my masters in Industrial management in UCMO
VO-Have you been to the states before?
ME-Yes,last year
VO-Have you been there before last year?
ME-No(They always ask me this question even at the point of entry the last time i went,they see my name on the system.maybe someone don dey use my name o..me no know but it could be from I-20 i got many years ago wey i no go sha)
VO-Can I see your residence card.
ME-I gave him the card and my renewal letter,he said no he only needs the card(for my mind I already told you i don renew sha)

ME-I begin finish am based on rehearsals....na here I know say this one go drop am.
VO-I will approve your visa and will send it to your home in few days.make sure you travel with your I-20
ME-Thank you so much.

So guyz if you were denied the first time,try to think of the reason you might be rejected,make sure something has changed before you go back the second time you will get it.

Is anyone here going to study at University of central missouri ?Please holla at me
And last but not the least I want to ask is it possible I defer the admission until next January and still enter with same visa?
Thinking of tidying up somethings here before leaving

Congrats

Yes your visa is still valid even if you defer. You just need to obtain another i20 from your school before travelling

Upandup:


True that... But why do you think they don't want to change them?

It requires alot of public opinions to change rules. US doesn't change rules like that. That's the reason they ask for public comment before changing rules

LagosismyHome:





I am not up to date with the law but this is highly unlikely if work permit you mean OPT and H1B and PR you mean Greencard ... Uncle Trump is trying to reduce immigration not open it

I will still confirm from another source to be very sure

LagosismyHome:


I am not up to date but this is highly unlike if work permit you mean OPT and H1B... Uncle Trump is trying to reduce immigration not open it

Yeah. So i heard. Reason i wasn't doubting sureb0y testimony

Upandup:


Hian!!! Where do you get all these information from?

Please share a link so that we can read and be educated too. Because this contradicts everything everyone knows about this current administration.

A friend in US just informed me of that. He got his PR too

Upandup:




How is that?

I mean make things more stricter. Non immigrant visa is meant for temporal stay and not permanent stay. Discussing such stuff may tighten their policy cos they are changing rules

Upandup:


Thats true, but if it something legal, why do we need to bother about VOs?

Secondly, if he doesn't want to be public and is willing to share, it could be done via PMs. But he responds by calling people who sent him PMs hypocrites - which I see as unfair, whether or not he was criticized by them.

Even if its legal. There are some thingss if let out may lower the chances of getting visa for some people that are still planning to come. Better to be discussed via private means

sureb0yy:


Lol. No mind am. Na so them go cast everything wey oga Dona go vex pursue people back to Naija wey people dey vex. Jk jk

sureb0yy:


I hate to be a killer of dreams but you may wanna read a lot about the new immigration policies before you embark on this journey of yours. The worst thing you wanna do in this political climate is to fall out of status and/or abuse the terms of your visa. They're not smiling o.

Don't let anybody tell you "na to enter be problem. Once you enter, forget". Ask probing questions wella before you enter o. Again, I won't be Debbie downer but... :x

You were right about your testimony. Now US has started giving PR immediately they issue work permit to people

Upandup:


You're being pompous about something you claim to have. If you want to share how you came about it, please do, if not... then let it pass.

One way or the other, what will happen will happen.

Either you show how you did it or you don't.

People doubting you doesn't make them hypocrites. Simply means they need to know more. If you are willing to share in the spirit of the thread, then do. If you are not, then stop disturbing the thread by calling people hypocrites and showing off.

Hope you know V.Os are monitoring this there

So might not be something share publicly like that

nasjeje:
I think is Basic Traveling Allowance BTA.

BTA stands for Business Travel Allowance. BTA is for business travel only and is set at a maximum of $5,000

do appreciate your response.

[b][/b]Nahum777

what of the sudden change in travel history to two west African countries in last 3 months against the plain virgin passport the applicant presented before at the Abuja embassy

secondly the school in US that gave the first admission has promised and had deffer the admission after the visa refusal, and had offer fresh admission the applicant is using the same school but new admission letter and new I-20 form. my question is what is the applicant chances of be granted visa?

@ Nahum777 & Ubah1, thanks

Travel history to west African countries doesn't count much though. So i don't see that as an issue. As far as the stamps on your passport are genuine, you don't have problem with that.

He should go with the new i20, there is no problem at all with that. He can change school or use same school, there is no law against that.

Enasdan:
Pleeas I kindly need your advice, if an applicant was denied a visa, 2 months ago, but want to reapply in filling the new DS-160 form, his status has changed.like salary from 85k to 110k, from unmarried to married, has traveled to two neighbouring African countries, in an interval of 3 months, will this create suspicious tendencies at the embassy during visa interview by the vo. what your suggestions and recommendations. kindly help on this

@ Ubah1
Nahum777

I don't think that will create any suspicion. Salary change is nothing, as you are not the one sponsoring yourself. Am only concerned about the marriage part. So far, we have more people that got visa with single than married. So marriage doesn't serve as ties much again in USA embassy but it used to be. Things changes though. Just be sincere and pray for favour

lalahhh:
Im sorry but my post will be long. I decided to post this after seeing that my AP status changed to issued. First I’ll like to thank God for everything, Sorelee I thank you so so much, words can’t express how grateful I am to you. Ubah1 thank you for encouraging me. Kekenation thank you too. You guys are amazing. I have been to the embassy 7 times , 4 times last year and 3 times this year. I don’t think my last year’s transcripts would be necessary. So here’s my first interview transcript for this year.
Me- Good morning
VO- pass me your I 20 and passport
VO- where are you going to?
Me- North Carolina Central University, Durham, North Carolina for my masters in( VO cuts in)
VO- what are you going for?
Me- My Masters Degree in History
VO- how did you get this assistantship?
Me- The department’s Chair was impressed with my GRE, my transcript, statement of purpose and essay.
VO- so why did you change course and school ?
Me- sorry? I didn’t get that.
VO- the last time you were here you were wanted to go to Arcadia so why change to NCCU?
Me- Arcadia gave me partial scholarship while NCCU gave me the full ride and in NCCU, I get to minor in courses related to Peace and Conflict Resolution.
VO- so who would pay for other expenses
Me- I have family funds
VO-which family?
Me- My Uncle
VO- what does he do?
Me - he works with the Kwara state government, at the Lower Niger River Basin.
VO- where does he live?
Me- Kwara state
She looks at the I 20 for a while then drops it
She asked for bank statement which I gave to her
She stared at it for a while , typed somethings ... In my mind I was just praying , then she asked
VO- why is your Uncle paying
Me- my parents sent his to school so this is more like a more thank you and he has the money
VO- how many siblings do you have ?
Me- 5
VO- which Uncle would be paying for them?
Me- I am the last child
VO - what’s the name of your Uncle
Me- I said his name
Then she picked up the I 20 again .... looked at it again and asked
VO- are you married?
Me- NO I’m not
VO- do you have children?
Me - No I don’t
Then she finally said I’m sorry you are not found eligible at this time.
This was lagos embassy. I was advised to try Abuja embassy and I did. Interview was for June 30th.
VO- Good morning , Pass your I-20
Me- Answered her while passing it.
VO- I see you have been denied in Lagos , why come to Abuja ?
Me- after being denied I informed the school and I was asked to please try again but I checked Lagos embassy and I couldn’t get an early date but I got here in Abuja.
VO- while nodding her head, what are you going to do in United States of America
Me- I’m going for my masters in History in North Carolina Central University
VO- how many schools did you apply to?
Me- 4. University of Wyoming, Texas A&M, North Carolina A&T and NCCU.
VO- I see you have full tuition waver
Me - Ohh yes while opening all my 36
Then she picked up the white paper, in my mind I was saying Ohhh yes, come to Mama... I’m right here baby , then she looked at me my heartbeat increased rapidly.
VO- where is you sister
Me - Confused n lost .... sorry?
VO- I said where is your sister?
Me- she’s in USA on OTP
VO- why isn’t she back? When did she travel? When is her date of birth? When did she travel?
Me- ahhhh I don’t know the answers to all these questions.. we are not so close
VO- wait I’m trying to help you out here
Me - shaking, already disorganized
Then she finally said it ... I’m sorry I won’t be issuing your visa.
Me - why? What’s wrong?
So I got home, with the mind of this is the end , called my sister and explained everything to her . She explained the part I mixed and begged me to go one more time, reluctantly I said ok. Luckily for me, we got July 19th on that same day. Truthfully I wasn’t so hyped about the last interview, I was dressed casually. I got interviewed by this middle aged woman on Ankara. A very nice woman I must add infact the nicest VO I ever came across. So here is the third transcript
Me- Goodmorning
VO- Good morning, you passport and I-20 please
I gave it to her
VO - ohhh NCCU
Me - yeah North Carolina Central University
VO- so who’s sponsoring you?
Me- I have full tuition waver and family support
VO- family support?
Me- yea my uncle.
VO- what does he do?
Me- he works with Kwara state Government at the Lower Niger River Basin
VO- Kwara state?
Me- yea Kwara state.
VO- where is that on the map? While looking at her map
Me- can you see Oyo state? It’s right beside Oyo state.
VO- ohhh wow , I can see it now .
VO- I see you have been denied twice , what has changed about your application?
Me- the last time I came here , i noticed the VO kept asking me questions about my sister that I didn’t know about and she ended up denying me. I went home, called my sister and she explained everything to me.
VO- so explain it to me too
Me- I did . Told her everything
VO- you see the main reason why you have been denied all these while is because of your family history, you sister finished school and she didn’t return.
Me- but she’s still in OTP and that’s my sister not me
VO- i know and that’s why it’s called family history . il do you a favour , il overlook it
Me- thank you so much
VO- wait
Me - in my mind, mo daran kilotun sele bayii
VO- il place you on AP , if we find anything fraudulent about your documents, you will be banned from entering the USA for life.
Me - No wahala , they are all real.
VO- Are you sure? make sure you travel before classes starts or else you will be turned back at the port of entry.
Me - ok ma’am. Thank you . Please can I pick up a tissue
VO - sure please do, take as much as u need .
Me- picked up the tissue and left
I might have forgotten some questions asked sha but this is all I can remember. I have found this thread really helpful. The main thing is be well prepared, be organized and learn from people. Thank you so much once again
Sorelee
Ubah1
Kekenation
Ekebs I really hope they issue yours too soon.

Woow!!! Am short of words. Am so happy you made it at last. This will serve as encouragement to many, never give up, keep pursuing that dream until it ends in praise. May God bless your new journey, IJN

Tonnie2014:
Hello group,A friend had gained admission into a Us university only for him not to reach their required toefl score.so dey asked him to retake and reapply.but d p is he had paid to the bank the interview application fees.he now wants to take his time to rewrite toefl and reapply mayb nextyear.
To avoid d 64k xpirin he wishes to resell at a cheaper price.if interested holla me via email.tnx

Visa fee payments are not transferable. It's not a waste as it is valid for one year, so he can still use it

dilodavid:
Now you are talking. Anyone can get approved or denied irrespective of the choice of school. GOE

There are exceptions doesn't mean you shouldn't do the right thing from the beginning. That's why people are here to share their stories. You have been hearing about the chubby black lady at Lagos embassy, people can testify that her denial rate is high compared to other white V.O. This doesn't mean she does not approve visa but you have to wow her. Same applies to going with red flag schools, you have to wow the v.o b4 you can scale through.

Tavict:
But am planning to go for the interview by next week, I think God is the only one to take control now because am into this or what do you think?

Prepare well, prove your case beyond doubt and pray for God's favour. It will end in praise

Ijebuboy525:

What makes you think Lincoln university is a red flag school? Being a low ranked school doesn’t mean it’s red flagged. What should we say about those getting denial with high ranked school, even with GA.

Yes i have seen high ranked school with full funding refused. So many things might have played role, your previous refusal record, unpreparedness, and so on. This doesn't mean the the approval rate for top ranked schools is not high. It's very high. Red flagged schools is a hard meat to chew but if you have stronger teeth, you can chew it. So it better to go with soft meat than hard meat. Thank you

dilodavid:
Check the transcripts of people who got i20s from the aforementioned schools. Most of them couldn't provide answers to questions asked by the VOs who interviewed them. What do you expect such outcome to be? Present your case well before the VO and visa will be approved with God on one's side because God factor is needed.

Bros we are not arguing on this. Choice of school lso affects visa approval. There are exceptions of people that got their visa with this red flag schools doesn't mean we shouldn't take precaution and apply to Better schools

dilodavid:
Someone I know got her visa with Virgina International University recently. Choice of school shouldn't be a barrier.

Chances are rare. Dont gamble on that. Virginia international university, iglobal university and Lincoln university ca are red flags to me. Look for better schools. It's good to learn from others mistakes than gamble your chances

dilodavid:
Nothing is wrong with the school. Don't blame your inability to secure your visa on choice of school. VOs approve people to go to Lincoln University and some other schools. Defend your case and pray well.

Remember we have two Lincoln university in USA. One is a public university and one is private university. Lincoln university California is private and is lowly ranked, about 1611 in ranking. Lincoln university Pennsylvania is public university and ranked better, about 146 in regional universities north.

Tavict:
Hello, please am really nervous about my interview that will be coming up by next week ... Have been denied twice under B1/B2 Visa application ( first interview Dec., 2016 and the second interview June 16, 2017)where I am member of a musical band to come and perform in New York but the VO advise us to go for P1 Visa

Now I got admission into Lincoln University in California for MBA in International Business, am applying for F1 Visa, I graduated in year 2015 as an accounting student, finished my Nysc in October 2016 and got a job last year May as an Accountant with a telecommunication company that partners with the network providers (AIRTEL,MTN ) as a major distributor and production of airtime ... My GRE Score is 277, GPA 3.26, my parents sponsoring me ...

Can you please put me through on what to do and my chances, what to say and what to avoid..

If you really care about getting your visa, avoid this school

[quote author=Ayobami12345 post=69587923][/quote]

That’s his personal reason. If he wants to sponsor you, he should drop his personal reason and follow the rule. You are talking of an individual here and not a government body. Embassy will need his statement of account to show proof of funds availability
