Vanjori:
What school were you itted into?

Arkansas tech university

Alakoriomo:


Of course yes, if you’re Yoruba, say it, if you’re any other tribe , say it.

Though, that doesn’t really matter.

But me Don declare sey no

Chemist4life:

But me Don declare sey no

No worry yourself, that’s just a trivial matter .And if you’re that concerned, just fill a new DS160

Thanks bro , I also want to ask would I need to pay the service ahead ?

Blackfinegirl:


Do you mean approved or issued?

If it has been issued, then use this ois link to check if your port is with them

https://appointment.oisservices.com/

If your port is with ois, then book an appointment to pick up.

Yes I applied for f1 visa , I filled it in my ds160 and I was also asked and I said no

Showkey1313:


Did you apply for an F1 visa? And were you asked during your interview if you had siblings there except you just writing it on your Ds 160

Charlex23:



Thanks for sharing your visa interview experience. I can sense your frustration, but don't worry, let's break it down and prepare for your next attempt.

Honestly, your answers seemed solid, and you showcased your ion for the program. However, a few things might've raised concerns:

*Travel History*: Not having traveled before isn't a deal-breaker, but be prepared to discuss how this experience will broaden your horizons. Highlight any relevant local or national conferences, workshops, or volunteer work.

*Sibling in the US*: Initially hiding this info might've raised red flags. Next time, be upfront and explain your sibling's presence. Clarify how their citizenship doesn't guarantee your stay.

*Financial Documentation*: Ensure you have thorough records of your dad's sponsorship commitment, including:

- Bank statements
- Tax returns
- Proof of income
- A detailed breakdown of expenses

For your next interview:

1. *Be open and honest*: Share your sibling's presence and explain any initial hesitation.
2. *Highlight Nigerian ties*: Emphasize family, property, business, or community connections.
3. *Financial preparedness*: Bring detailed documents and explain your dad's sponsorship.
4. *Dress professionally*: Make a great first impression!
5. *Practice common questions*: Build confidence and clarity.
6. *Stay calm and genuine*: , honesty shines through!

Work on these areas, and you'll increase your chances. You've already taken the first step by sharing your experience. Learn from it, and come back stronger! Good luck with your next interview

Lol, boss, VOs don't look at bank statements or financial documents again. They even tell you not to bring them now. You can take them along o but the only way to defend your financial position is with a well thought-out narrative.

About the sibling issue, it's a trap. Don't it you previously lied on your DS-160. It won't go well.

Showkey1313:


Please can you guys just help me out cos I’m still confused, does anyone knows anyone that has a siblings in the US but still said No in their DS 160 and was approved so I can just stick to the No and if you think I should change it back to yes, is there anything I can say to defend why I said No before please, I’m stocked and my next visa interview is in few days so I need to submit my Ds 160 asap

It's too late to change anything. Your detail is already on file.

I suggest you write down a mock interview so that people here can help make corrections.

Hi

Please is it a red flag to tell them you only apply to only one school?
The school was recommended to me so I didn’t bother applying to other schools, will it be a red flag to say I only applied to one school?

How long have you been waiting and is it Lagos?
