Hello
i'm an international student in us and i'm planning to go to canada to renew my visa however i don't know the process of getting a visitor's visa. i need help please. thanks

realdemi:
Good evening everyone.

Please, House, kindly assess this profile.

Age:26
Sex: Male
Marital status: Single
Graduated from Secondary school: 2014
Denied US visa in 2019 on tourist visa application. Also had denials on tourist too (2ce - 2012 +not sure)
Dropped out from Fed. Coll of Education in 2019. Studying Business Education. He was in school from 2016-2019.
Work experience of about three (3) years - 2020-2023. Store manager in the hospitality industry, mostly shortlet homes.

Please, what chances does this person have for a regular F1 application? B.Sc./Community college

ooh that's a lot tbh
first of all, i'd say he should lay his matter on God tbh with that kind of backstory denial will be very easy
and he should do some reviewing abi reflection on what caused the first denial cause most likely the ones that followed were because of the first. He already got the school acceptance so now he just needs to be prayerful on not give up yet in the "convincing the VO" part. Also, another thing he should start trying to get his story right about how he dropped out of school in 2019.

Does anyone know if emergency requests are being approved?

Is there any current appointment search group on whatsapp? can someone send the number
?

Ajoself:
Thanks. Can you explain the last part again please.

Give you self a time to check for appointment dates

you can only check 3 times a day if you can get a time for early morning, noon and sometime in the night
that's what the "search groups" do there's nothing magical going on in search groups everyone picks their time
and check daily

Ajoself:

Me too abeg o.

Look at this point eh i'm gonna tell y'all the truth
if you can't find a search group
rather than waiting for someone to add you to a group create your own and add people who are also in need of it

atleast that's how we did when i in this visa process
lagos is opening dates 12 and 13 dec is open and there's a lot of spaces imagine 26 spaces for 10:20am etc

orrrr do the simplest

open a cgi set 3 different times for yourself
and monitor it

MrRighteous02:
Hello,

Can we connect ? i sent you a pm

i saw it
i've sent a response

MrRighteous02:
Hello fam,

Can someone please suggest a school for undergraduate program that does not require GRE, GMAT, TOEFL or IELTS ? Please guys don't ignore my comment

i'm going to a college and those exams are optional
but you will have to sit for placement test

Hello everyonr, Im new here. My visa for F1 interview got denied. And I need clarity on where I fumbled.
My interview (EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT) was on the 15th of November, 2022, Lagos.

VO: Why are you going to the US/
ME: To pursue my master's (Engineering Operations Management) in Bleep school.

VO: Who is sponsoring you?
ME: My Uncle

VO: What does he do?
ME: HE imports and distributes so, so and so. (I was this brief)

VO: Did you apply to any other school?
ME: yeah, Bleep Business school

VO; Why didn't you go?
ME: The fees were too expensive for me.

VO: What do you do for a living?
ME: I'm a graphic artist (I was being honest)

VO: What does your uncle do again?
ME: HE imports and distributes so, so and so. (I was this brief)

VO: Hands over blue color paper (VISA DENIED)

ME: Asked her what was wrong, she said I should check more on their website

Please how can I fix this? I know I can reapply; what do you advise? I'm to resume in Jan 2023.

Blood of Jesus
like please forget about grace but what were you hoping for with those short asf answers i want to cry for u but were you even prepared at all?
like did you even practice
just the first answer you gave sef eh seriously set me off
first thing you will learn about going for the interview is not to give short ass questions
"The fees were too expensive for me"?
since your transcript is filled with "i was being honest" be honest here
when did you get your appointment date and how long did it take you to practice?


sha just see it as delayed and try again please don't repeat this. mock session interviews and get all the transcript you can get that relates with what you want to study.


and please the question *why are you going to the US?*
is the simplest question if you Bleep up there that 1strike
dem fit even deny u cause u no even answer the question well

Chima2355:
Please I applied for US visa and was denied so I had to apply again but I'm not seeing any available date yet and my school resumption is close, is there anything I can do about that?

You're for spring semester?

Shannon70:


istrative processing is a catchall term that is used for all sorts of things. They may be doing a security check based on information not known to you. If that is the case you should have been asked to to fill out some paperwork and provide more info. On the the other hand you may have had some information in your application that has aroused the suspicion of the VO and they are looking to give you a hard hit. You could be on the verge of a visa or an interminable black hole. If they gave you your port back assume that if you get a visa it is going to be a long time.

right thanks all glory to God though my istrative processing got cleared

Does anyone know how to get out of istrative processing i had my interview on the 27th of july and my CEAC status has been istrative processing since then

FabioPeter:
I applied same day as with my friend , he got his in 10days. Not much changed with mine. I emailed [email protected] and requested for my port.
They called a few days after and asked me to pickup at the embassy. Mine took 5 weeks from Dropbox to pickup

can i please see the email you sent?? i do not know what to do ... should i be scared?? i applied for an f1 visa and my program starts the 9th of august and my port/visa is still with the us embassy and on istrative processing
