Good afternoon all,I had my visa interview denied on August 19th at Abuja,I was interviewed by a white lady

VO;I see you’re going to Wayne county community college for an associate degree in Gerontology
Me;Yes please
VO;what’s your plan after your associate degree?
Me;I plan to transfer to Wayne state university for my Bsc and then after do my Masters in Gerontology
VO;alright,very good,so what next when you return to Nigeria
Me;I plan to start up a retirement home and also work in collaboration with NGOs and I was opportune to attend a conference organized by a very popular NGO COSROPIN on August 14th and it was all we should know about cancer in older persons.......
VO:when did you graduate from high school?
Me;I graduated from high school 2017
VO;what have you been doing since then’
Me;I did skill acquisition for a year and went for computer lessons for another year before the pandemic then after I lost my dad and things were difficult for us at that point and so as my tradition states as the first girl child I had to stay with my mom throughout the burial process
VO;I’m so sorry (pointing to my I-20)who will be sponsoring you?
Me;my mom Mrs xxxxx Bleep will be sponsoring me
VO;what does she do?
Me;she’s a managing director in an oil company in delta state and she’s also currently in charge of my dad’s filling station
VO;okay very nice but sorry I won’t be granting your visa please reapply again......


I don’t seem to identify what went wrong.

Your story line is not realistic. Your mother is a director in an oil company that does not have a name. Secondly, since your mother is an oil magnet things dont suppose to be difficult .

U try ur best sha. Keep on trying

Same with my friend that got approved same day but no need to worry you'll hear from them today or Friday. After most interviews, istrative processing pops up these days.

Shuayb0:
Hello everyone

I got approved yesterday. However, on tracking the status of my application, I saw that it’s under istrative processing. Who else that was approved yesterday is experiencing this?

Main problem is that my program started on 16th August, but I was given an extension for 30th. With this development, I might not be in US by that time, even though I already booked a flight for Thursday. I sent the embassy a mail, still waiting for a response.

Please advise.

Check wakanow.com and travelstart too.

Check Lufthansa airlines. Thank me later

HELLO GOOD PEOPLE,
PLEASE AVOID BOOKING FLIGHT THAT WILL TRANSIT FROM Frankfurt
FRA Frankfurt (FRA), to the US. a lot of people were unable to fly today and had to reschedule.
God Bless you all!!

Also avoid Kenya Airways too. They can reschedule your flight without telling you and if you try to their customer care when any issue arise, they may snub you and if you are lucky, you will get auto response.

Hello everyone,

My visa was rejected earlier this week at Abuja and I am currently in the process of reapplying. Unfortunately, the schedule appointment sections shows "No available appointment dates"

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Many thanks for your help.

Any Transcript you submit by yourself during an application is considered unofficial regardless, it can only be considered official when it was submitted directly by your school through which ever medium they deem fit, u can apply with it to some schools though, but upon ission and acceptance you'll have to have your school submit another one directly to them for authentication, personally I avoid schools that ask for official copy during application process to save cost

Thank you for your response. The issue is, requesting for official transcript to be sent abroad cost 50k in my school which I can't afford, reason why I'm looking for schools with app fee waiver. Also I don't GRe or TOEFL so I intend to apply to schools that don't request for it.

Oluwacolded:
Hello house I have decided to take the TOEFL test. Please who who can recommend websites or material I can use to practice. I intend to enrol for the home based TOELF test. I want to sacrifice one week to study and do the test, is this plan feasible?

It is possible. Depends on how good your English is. Check noteful videos on YouTube. Kaplan TOEFL is also good for reading and writing.

[quote author=ladeonas post=105175644][/quote]


A lot of red flag in your application. You will need a strong application next time. You should apply to a decent school like may be BGSU in another state. Also, get some scholarships.

boluslim:

I'm sorry about your denial and congratulations on your new ission too, please if you don't mind I'd like to send you a mail please so we can talk better, I really need your guidance. I would also like to know if I will need to secure a supervisor first or I will apply directly.
N.B: I have 4.2/5 GPA and the transcript I have is official cos my school doesn't give student copy so I had to pay for official transcript which I have the soft copy in my mail.

All the information you need is on the school website. Just check your course requirements, if you will need a supervisor you will be told. Since you have an official transcript, i guess you can do the yourself.

Duisburg:

Reach out to the alumni of your school to send your official transcript to the school via email. That should cost less

Please I made a booking reservation on travelbeta for Qatar Airways to travel by Sept. 6th. I made a mistake on my middle name. I was told by travelbeta that I needed to rebook. Now the price has been doubled on the booking site. Please has anyone been this situation, can it be corrected if I visit the Qatar Airways office and kindly share any flight booking thread (I've search with no tangible result).

Thank you.

It can be rectified. Go to qatar airways ticketing office MMIA. A service/comment would be added to your PNR indicating the error in your booking name and you're good to go without an extra cost

Kindly go with both of them but you need to present the current one because that is the I-20 that will be on their system when they pull up your record

Rawly111:
Please my interview is tomorrow and I just got a new I-20 because I deferred my resumption to spring 2022 due to the interview Date being late than my resumption. Should I go with the old or new I-20

Kindly revise your transcript and repost it. you can read past transcripts I'm sure you will find information that helps. no one is saying you did something wrong, we are saying there are better ways you could have arranged your response for it to add up.

Stella03:



Sorry,but that was basically what I did,what was I supposed say??

Also, make sure you apply for an emergency with your SEVIS confirmation and your I-20

Stella03:


Thank you so much ☺️
I appreciate.

Please, what is the ission decision timeline for graduate spring application at the University of Mississippi?
I'll appreciate a response thanks.

Available date as at 10 am, 26-Aug-2021

Alright, I will read through. Thank you very much

So how you going to get the funding, without Gre or Toefl?

Just got denied some minutes ago � � �
Interview didn't even take more than 30secs

VO: me your documents
VO: oh you're back
Me:yes (came first but went back to get something corrected)
VO:who'd be sponsoring you
Me:my sister
VO:what does she do
me:she's a senior medical case manager at xyz
VO:where does she reside
Me:in Atlanta
He typed for some seconds
VO: so when did you finish secondary school
Me:2018
VO:sorry you're not qualified for the US VISA at the moment please do apply later and he gave me green slip

I suspect it's cos of my sponsor
My sponsor and the school are in the same state but different cities

Please what do you guys think is the cause of the denial??

Me:

Was this Lagos or Abuja embassy? Was it a male vo that interviewed you?

So sorry about your denial. She said you're back, what does that mean? What did you correct? You finished secondary school in 2018, did you put on your DS-160 as the reason why you haven't gone to school? if you finish school in 2018, The interviewer expects your parents should be your sponsor because they need to be sure that you will return home. If your sister stays in the US, then it appears you do not have any home ties. You can try again.

Me:

For home ties reasons, an immediate family member like your sister living in the US shouldn't sponsor you.

Finishing secondary school in 2018 is also a contributing factor. What have you been doing since you finished?

Nobody will baby feed you. Do your research, write to schools asking for waiver of those things. Write to as many schools and you will be happy as you will get reply as many as you requested. One will surely come true for you. Compose your English well and send to grad school or coordinators they will extend your email to the appropriate person. Thanks best wishes.
