Sure but you should have records of your previous information. You can take both test scores but funding in public health is limited. Best!

Damite2ky:
Go ahead, craft a good message and all the right documents.

please how do u know u were denied? Did they send u a mail?

Hello.
Pls I’m confused about something I have done. My i20 says the duration for my course is 2021 to 2023 but under estimated average costs, it says 9 months. I have just submitted the ds160 form and I put 9 months there but I want to know if this is right. And if it’s not, can I fill a new form with same details except the duration? I haven’t paid the mrv fees yet. Kindly advise please. Thank you.

Visa Approved
Lagos Consulate
Alot of blue papers flying across board on that day.
I arrive lagos on Sunday all the hotels that was recommended here to me where fully booked that (it was showering so everywhere is abit cold) evening. Finally got one by 9pm.

My interview experience below:

She did more of typing/reading than asking me questions.

VO: Good morning and welcome, give me your 1-20/port
Me: Good morning, here is it.
VO: Typed/read for about 1-2minutes, She then ask why do you want to study this course in this (She never mentioned the name of the school) school.
Me: I want to study this course in this school because of the research work of Professor James Madison which I believe can be easily transferred to case studies in the region where I am from in Nigeria (She looked at me with surprised). His research at the moment is on solute transport modeling of contaminant in groundwater, I believe the skills and knowledge I will acquire from working with him on this project will help me address the issue of groundwater contamination we are currently facing. The region where I am from, we are faced with a range of challenges one of which is groundwater contamination.
VO: Typed/read for another 1-2 minutes then she ask what will you do with this course?.
Me: I want to set up my own Environmental Consulting Firm to work with Federal Ministry of Environment and Water Resources in ensuring that there is access to clean water for everyone in the region.
VO: Typed/read for another 1-2 minutes then she ask I see you have a deficit ($10, 560), who is paying?
Me: My friend who is based in Canada (She looked at me)
VO: Is he a Canadian?
VO: No
VO: What is your relationship with him?
Me: He is my friend from childhood, we grew up in the same neighborhood. He is ionate about my plans of establishing my own consulting firm.
VO: What does he do
Me: He work with an SSS organization in Canada.
VO: Typed/read for another 1-2 minutes then she ask where do you work?
Me: I work with DYZ Services; we are into a range of work that include groundwater investigation and borehole development.
VO: Gave me the white paper and said I should follow the instructions on the paper.

Note:
What I notice on that day is that alot of persons are largely unprepared for the interview. There was this guy who built up his case very well and then the VO ask him where is the bank statement of his sponsor, he said he didn't bring it and that he had used it to apply for his 1-20 initial. There where others I can't mention here.

My interview wasn't as smooth as it is up there, but I ensured that I nailed all the points. After preparations pray to the being you serve. I prayed to God, because in my own case I cannot take God out of the scheme of thing (not by my power).

I just thought I should share this here.

Hearty Congratulations �

tonero4urch:

congrats

Abuja is approving emergency application, they just approved someone I know, July 13, 14, 15, 21, 22 and 23 are available.

Malone122:
come clean what do you mean seized ??
Which paper was you given
The embassy doesn’t “seize “ ports
So explain yourself better if you truly want opinions of people here

Lol. Don’t say what you don’t know please: Embassy do seize ports. When they do, they send it to the Immigration.

Predstan:

Please when did your friend apply? Thanks

CelinaAK:


Please when did your friend apply? Thanks

Monday last week

Janet200:


Monday last week

I applied on Wednesday morning ooo God help you

Okay thanks so much I really do appreciate

Juice2Pac:

How can you say such that someone deserves rejection I noticed you hardly come here to guide us, if is not you dropping stupid comments then it will be you dragging with Fairheart or someone. He posted his transcripts here so people can help him out, all expected of you is constructive criticism but you just attacked him anyhow which is bad. I doubt if you are in the states as you claimed cos you are always around the Nigeria time zone or don’t you sleep?

See a lazy & uneducated Nigeria Youth Response!

mayDtolu:



Brooo. Attend to more important questions here. leave Fairheart alone pls and let him continue doing his good work cos I noticed you barely come here to guide us unless you see chance to bant.

How do you feel after showcasing your ignorance ?

tunapawizzy:

On every level, this is wrong.

See a lazy youth.

Janet200:


No body deserves rejection, some did not even answer as much as he said they still got their visa.

Yes you’re right but those ones did what’s right okay.

Do I still go ahead with my interview

Pls can I see a copy of the mail you sent to your school for letter of extension. Thanks I want to send to my school, so I want to see the format of how to go about it .

Hello good people of this great platform. Please I need your help on my issue
Please I got my 1-20 in June but the available date I got is December 30 and I am already trying to defer the ission to spring . But the problem is at the time I started the ission I had about 11 months on port to expiration, the date my port will expire is January 22/ 2022. Please my interview date is December 30/ 2021. Please do I get a new port now and does the appointments date and all my other information , the ission Sevis fee ,visa fee please hope everything hasn’t gone with the wind. Please experienced people should please help me.

harveygordon:

Please, is cost the same as duration?Sorry,if I am blunt. If you need me to lecture you on i-20 let me know...lol Just kidding ! You dnt need to me because I prefer to respond to easier and non-personal issues here.

The average cost is 9months because you are going to be on 3months break before the fall session resumes. The duration of your program ( 2021-2023) is 2 years or 24months so that is what you should put on your DS-160. Try correct that on your DS-160. Best!

It looks like you actually prefer to do your interview for Spring intake. Yes get a new port. You should have at least 6months on it on the day of interview. If you reschedule appointment dates will change so you will need to print another appointment letter.
Otherwise, you dn't. Your ission letter will need to be for Spring ission and your i-20 too ( the duration on it refers to the ission cycle), SEVIS ID doesn't change since it is the same school and if you have paid SEVIS fee it is valid for a year. VISA fee is also valid for a year. Nothing has gone in the wind cos you are on course. Best!!

mrsmideP:



Please I am also having similar problem with the person in U S .Have you rectified it? How did you go about it, if yes please . Thank you

I guess their system is malfunctioning atm. You guys should fill in just the names of the US PERSON (the school DSO), since the Relationship of and and the person is already picked as SCHOOL OFFICIAL, you are good. Leave the Address / Location for now.

ebbie9ja:
For Person in the U.S, I can only fill either the name of an individual or Organization Name. If I uncheck "Do Not Know" box for one, the other automatically checks itself and blank out. Please confirm this is not peculiar to me.

Only the initial of my other name was written on my I-20 (Firstname and Lastname are fully spelt). Although port name on same document is written in full including my other name. When I wanted to pay for SEVIS Fee, I saw an instruction that the name entered should be exactly as it appears on your Form I-20 or DS-2019. Can I proceed with the payment with my full name as it is on DS-160 or I should pend the action until the name on I-20 is corrected?

Hello guys
Please Abuja denied me on my emergency request for appointment.
It says
“As you were denied a visa within the last 6 months you are not eligible for an expedited appointment”
What should I do
As my resumption date is on 23rd August
And my appointment date is December

I greet you all, and thanks for the good work that you have done on this thread. I want to apply for a PhD in the US with TA or GA, an i have targeted some schools. But I'd like to know if GRE or TOEFL scores should be on ground before emailing potential supervisors or I can tell them I intend to for the tests after their assurances l.
