Please i need advice. On my ds-160 form i put in Lagos as intended place for my interview, however i couldn’t find a suitable date in Lagos. I was able to find one in abuja though. I emailed them and and they said i can still use the DS-160 form, but i might have some delays. So should i just do a new ds-160 form to get a new confirmation code or i should stick with this one ?

Howdy! How were you able to get a date for Abuja with a Lagos DS-160 biko?

Abeg if anyone see earlier dates for Abuja, please let us know. Oct, Nov or Dec dates. Because the earliest I'm saw today is January 11, 2022.

My sponsor is footing my study and living expenses, but I chose "self" for my trip. I don't think I was wrong to have chosen "self".

If you'll be going with a Statement of , it should be the same person paying for your trip. The school funds granted is usually for tuition

The person paying for your trip is your sponsor.
You are to put his details there and not yourself.

I don't understand. Isn't the trip a flight? Why the need to select a sponsor when I know I am the one paying for the trip? I don't understand.

My opinion tho, I might not be entirely correct.

In my opinion flight is an aspect of your trip spent in an aircraft/plane, conveying you from one destination to another. Whereas trip includes every aspect of your travel plans including time spent at your destination.

In this context on ds160, trip cost isn't the flight alone but includes other areas of expenses such as tuition fees and living expenses (housing, foods etc). You should put the person covering your deficit, if you have any, but if it is fully funded then the school or organisation name should be inputted. Best.

In as much as this is funny but please don’t profile any VO as rejection VO, he may be the one that will approve your visa you know.

He better be.

Guys please I’m confused and in need of help. When I applied for an emergency appointment, the earliest possible date I got was for 26th of August, however, my school resumes on the 23rd so I already booked my flight for Abuja for next week. However, my school wrote to me today that if I can’t make it by the resumption date, I might have to defer my ission to January or take this semester courses online.

After much deliberation, I decided to defer till January since she told me that the visa won’t be granted coz I need to take a minimum of one course on site and it’s too late for that and she is willing to issue me a new I-20 for January and deferment letter.

Now my issue is this, will I be able to interview for January in August? given this rule of you can only interview within 120days to your next resumption date.

I think u have to reschedule ur interview it happened to too I was suppose to resume August but my interview date was changed die minute and I was asked if I want the online and I said no so am referring till spring I was able to reschedule another appointment without paying again for December ,now my question is who told u that u won't be given visa if u don't take a minimum of one course on site I don't get that part

There is no doubt that Grace plays a big role in getting an approval.

However, let's not attribute everything to grace and fail to see the emerging pattern here.

The VOs do NOT want to deny you a Visa. Infact, they want to approve you but the law and their training dictates that they assume you are an immigrant till you prove you aren't. So when you're denied, they are not saying 'Bleep off, we don't want you in our country' it's more like 'I believe you're trying to illegally immigrate, try the legal immigration route instead or convince me that you're a non-immigrant'.

This hurts me so much because I've seen genuine students denied because of the sins of visa abs.

Now to the concept of ties, You must have ties to Nigeria to be considered a non-immigrant.

You see some of these people with Jobs they have worked at for more than 3 years with a work leave getting approved? Yes, it's grace but it's also Work ties.
For instance, today I saw a woman get approved who has been at a workplace for 15 years, and trust me her interview wasn't spectacular. Infact, she wasn't even vibing with the VO, but she had strong work ties and the program she was going for was plausibly going to improve her career. Hence, she was approved.

So if you're Jobless, are you screwed? Not necessarily.
Family ties - Are you married? Do you have older family depending on you for care?(please be careful about telling fantastical stories that the VO would call bullshit on immediately)
What of dependent children?
Demonstrating that you have family in Nigeria you can't possibly abandon helps your case.

Social ties - Do you lead an an organization here in Nigeria that would suffer in your prolonged absence? Are you a prominent member of your community that a lot of people depend on? What of your church or political party? Is there anything there that would compel you to return?

Try as you may, some people may not have plausible ties.
Then your plans for the future come into play.
What steps have you taken to secure your future in Nigeria (at the completion of your program) ?
You may have no ties now to Nigeria but you can be able to convince the VO that you plan to return by applying for a position here in Nigeria that would be provisionally accepted pending your program completion. (This is just an example).

If you have no ties or plausible compelling future plans, then your profile becomes really important.

Young, straight outta high school applying to a bachelors? Likely genuine student, more likely to be approved than someone in their late 20s, 10 years out of high school, being doing a 'computer diploma program' in the interim applying for the same bachelors.

Mid 20s, recently graduated (best months after graduation), going for a masters in a course related to their bachelors, likely to be approved regardless of ties compared to someone in their 30s, years post bachelors, masters in sth totally unrelated and no career benefit.

My point is Grace plays a huge role but we need to learn to analyze people's profiles when they are approved.

Nice one bro

emmanuelle27:
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

What if I’ve done WES evaluation

Will the new WES report be my official transcript Or irrespective of WES, my school still needs to send transcript.

Thanks

If WES sends the evaluated result directly to the school it is considered an official transcript.

Hello Everyone,

I want to apply to a Pharmacy/Health related Masters degree. I have Master of Public Health in mind. Please I need suggestion on the institution I can go for.
Thanks.
Also, in case I get ission, is it possible I can still get a date for interview to be able to in spring session 2022?

If you've done WES they'll always send the official transcript to any school that needs it at your request, you don't need any other transcript from your nigerian institution, you'll just have to pay small money to WES for them to process it, it think it's now about $15

Sorry about the delay. First you might want to post the transcript of your previous interview so people out there can pick out what transpired and advise you accordingly. Second it's most likely impossible to get any magical dates within two weeks unless you schedule emergency appointment which is not 100% guarantee. Best bet is to attend online for this semester if that option is still available and schedule interview for Spring or just defer totally. Shalom.
