Good afternoon,
happy new year. please, i have a question on behalf of my cousin. she tried logging into her nairaland but she couldn't. here is the post we composed ..... please help us

Pls, I need a review of my situation and guidance.
1. I am single, 40
2. I am applying for a masters degree.
3. I have been denied US tourist Visa in 2016, 2018, and 2023.
4. My Dad filled for me sometimes ago but petition wasn't approved. He told me this during a conversation before he ed in April 2024. But I have been saying No in all my applications. {this is the truth pls. i dont know why it was never mentioned but i that he said he was going to get a lawyer}
5. I currently work and earn 500k after deductions.
6. all tuition fee and living expenses is about xxxxxxk $. this will be paid from my Dad's benefit. his younger brother in the US will receive the money on my behalf but we see no reason why it should be converted and sent to Nigeria since my school fees will be paid in dollar. but we are worried about presenting this fund to the embassy. uncle called the school to explain. they said since the money is not in my name, it cant be personal fund. But i have a certain share that is enough for my programme and uncle is ready to let go his share, if any

pls, what do you advise?

I just noticed that the earliest date to select from in Lagos starts from January 2026 😔

No dates currently for 2025

Really? But I saw available dates from July, I won't be able to pick any of those days? Did you pick from January? I'm a little confused

@Oyotunji USA
Please sir, can you advise me on what to do. I've been trying to make an appointment since November 2024 for an appointment because school resumes this January and to no avail. I've been unable to the pre-approval stage and unable to even proceed to pay for my child as my F2. Please what do I do. Thank you

Oyotunji hasn’t been on this forum for a bit.

Search for “pre-approval” in yeh search bar, you should get ideas how people scaled through.

This is the link shared for the post below, it is for Abuja, you can search google for the Lagos equivalent.

Hello, is there anyone who paid the visa fee in November 2024 and still haven’t ed the pre-approval stage for Lagos? I am still experiencing difficulties with my sister application because she is still in the pre-approval stage since November 20th. I have sent the consulate emails and raised multiple tickets but to no avail nothing has changed. It’s so disheartening that things can be this rough on the AVITS website and this people don’t care about fixing the problem.

Good Morning guys...I have been able to pick a date since December so I want to defer the ission till next session because the school will be resuming Jaunary 22 and I was able to date for April

Can I cancel the appointment and create a new DS160 with the new i20 and book another appointment

Please don't cancel your appointment, present your new i20, if your application is successful, you won't be able to go to the US until it's a month to your resumption, so there's no cause for alarm. Just explain your situation to the Interviewer.

[quote author=Racael120 post=133529030]My interview was approved and the VO promised to help hasten up the issuance because of my resumption date
Thanks for the advise


Very hearty congratulations to you dear. I just ed the pre-approval stage too yesterday and my school is resuming on the 27th of January. Did you choose emergency appointment, how did you do it for an emergency appointment?

pls, we need help...

Racael120:
You can go with the two ds160, that's exactly what I did at abuja yesterday, they scanned the updated one and I was not even asked anything about why I have a different code on my appointment letter

Thanks so much for your reply.

Were you asked to present the Visa fee receipt? I paid for my Visa at GTBank but I cannot where I kept the teller/receipt

Good evening, I just through the pre approval stage but when I reach page to fill the address for pick up(DHL), it didn’t bring anything to fill there, please any assistance on that?

Good morning house. I received a mail concerning my mums visitors visa application that we updated your application status. We actually used an agent for documentation so I’ve ed him and he said he’s on transit that he will check when he gets to the office. I want to know the meaning because I’m just scared. Had it been I have the s I would have checked myself.

Ceecee were you able to get date through expedite?

kamsy101:



Ceecee were you able to get date through expedite?

Ceecee I think you have to pick a date first to be able to request for expedited appointment.. you won't be able to request for it until you have a date first.
Kamsy were you able to get any date at all? If I pick a date in Abuja will I be able to attend my interview in Lagos? Do you have an idea?

Just got my pre-approval today. Has anyone been able to secure an emergency appointment successfully and how long did it take?

For those still waiting to hear back from the embassy for your pre-approval request to be processed, may you find favor this new week.

I'm resuming next week and I just pray I am granted an emergency appointment and my visa is approved as well. Amen 🙏

My matter is twisted.

my interview was today but it was suspended because my new SEVIS Id number is not reflecting my payment. Now i have to rebook appointment and emergency expedite is my only option. although i have no idea of how it works.

Hello house, for those in the process of applying for mba, is there a group already. I am interested in ing if so.

Hi all,
My evaluated transcript doesn't meet the 2.8 gpa requirement and I don't have gre. Can anyone please help with options masters in any of the humanities and arts field?

mamateniola1:
pls, we need help...

What advice do you want
It doesn't seem like you have ission into any school yet.
If the funds as you say are yours then apply to the school, get ission and pay your school fees. Sebi your uncle has the funds let him pay for the school.
That you are single or that you have been denied tourist visas before is not relevant since you are applying for study.
If your dad filed for you and the petition was not approved then you don't have an application with them. The answer is no.
Your father has ed our condolences, if they ask about him just tell them he has ed .
Since you said there are funds to cover your tuition, are there also funds to cover your living expenses? You need answers to that to get your ission.

Nobody can tell you whether you will get the visa or not. This is not betting na

PLS, i need advise ..

Your age shouldn't be a concern if you have the right story to back up why you want to pursue graduate studies. Same with your marital status as not everyone is inclined towards marriage.
How related is your masters to your undergraduate course of study or what you do at the moment? Why do you want to pursue a masters at this time? Once you are convinced on why, align that with your story. It helps ensure you are consistent no matter what.
For 3 and 4, I think this is where your challenge lie. How come you are not aware your dad tried filing for you? Why was he mentioning the same at his dead bed? Do you have siblings, are they in the same situation? Another area to address is your uncle who is receiving your dad's benefit suggest you have great ties in the US you never mentioned. This are things you need to think of thoroughly before making your decision if it is worth pursuing. The challenge is most times, you are not given ample opportunity to explain your case nonetheless, it is better to try and fail than not trying at all.
6 is similar to 3 and 4. If the money is not in your name, it isn't personal funds. Where is your mom? Can the money be transferred to her?
