He is below par.
You should have opened a poll on it. You can't just announce something base on your opinion

@Nanorest


@justwise is not below per , he is active , intelligent in his portfolio and kinda hard working because i have learnt few things from his posts and materials years back when i was handling a travel agency office...But i agree with you that the poll should be thrown to the public by voting .

People should be truthful and honest with @justwise . His decision is sometime aggressive and i think there are some favourites of him like:. @Debieeeeee, @BigIyanga, @NUALUESA, @essl etc who kind of dictate to him who and who to ban.

I will put myself as one of @justwise communication enemies (not human enemy ooo..we re all Nigerians 😊) but HE DESERVE THIS ACCOLADE AND NOMINATION.

@justwise let God be guiding you in judgement not human , and leaders are extremely tolerant .

Pharaoh001:
I need advice please. I applied for a visa myself by avoiding travel agents.
I got a job in the u.s and i am to resume in early june 2024 but my appointment date was Nov 2025. After some few minutes i saw that the appointment has been cancelled but it still reflect on my dashboard as Nov 2025. I was in a panic mode and I don't know what to do. They have been asking me to my visa appointment date to complete my onboarding process, so I applied for emergency appointment stating my date and i ed a pdf of my employment letter showing my arrival dating and every other details. I received a mail now that my emergency application has been denied. Pls what can i do because I don't want to lose this job coz It was really hard getting it and my medical cert would have expired before November 2025.


@Pharaoh001

The agents you avoided are still going to be the one that will rescue your situation because if you continue with this application, then your US Employment- visa might ended up in the red sea like King Pharaoh's chariots 😀


1. Be very careful and let people if your US employment letter is genuine or not , otherwise, you might be playing lawn tennis with online- fraudsters .

2. The class of visa you applied for according to your CGI portal only allows you to stay in the US for 29 days and you must leave the United States within that timeframe. *** Do you think that the embassy will grant u work-visa based on such timeframe ?

3. If i see your invitation letter i can if it's genuine or not , or probably you are the one who have chosen the wrong visa category. US have varieties of work-visa types (which can be confusing ) like ;

H-1B, H-1C, H-2A, H-2B, H-3 etc.

**** The EB-3 visas are available to those holding a bachelor's degree, or foreign equivalent, as well as skilled and unskilled laborers who have a non-temporary offer of employment from a U.S. employer. (Yours is temporary offer according to your CGI portal).

4. For your current Appointment situation , THE ONLY SOLUTION for you is to go and pay another MRV but don't pay it yet . Allow people or research very well if your US employment letter is genuine and most especially what kind of visa category you should apply to.


5. If your visa category still falls under same C1 visa please don't apply , the embassy won't grant you work-visa based on such very short period except if you have been going to and fro (into the US) before with special skills . I would rather if your employer is genuine they invite you first and you apply for B1/B2.

@Nzealibaba


I don't know the reason why you want to rent an apartment as a prospective International student before obtaining your F1 visa .

The few international students i know who have already landed in the US and needed to rent an apartment even had to show their student IDs or Form I 20s to landlords in their states before they can get an apartment not to talk of you that is still in Nigeria .

How will a Host-College or University in the US ask you to bring a rent/lease agreement when you are still in your country in order to reduce your POF in your Form I 20 ? Bank letter/ financial verification or scholarship award letter is all i know they have been asking prior to the issuance of Form I 20.

If your question is genuine , then your school's int- students office .

40 years old.

Now can you answer my question?

Why are you advising someone looking for a solution to his problem not to disclose his age??

I would like to be to learn from you👀


@MrSoftlife

I know you 're not a real African woman otherwise you would not have quickly disclosed your age just like that 🙄. I am replying you because of your last sentence and snob those CABALS who claimed to have US visas and lived or living in America , yet they did not know the moral rules 😃


Read below what one American lady put online """"

I am 37 , and i have had men (especially older men) making disparaging comment after finding out my age. Men young and old sometimes treats me entirely different after i state my age . I can see that my value instantly dropped in their eyes .



1. Unless you re the person's Doctor, Lawyer , ant or relevant government official , or an employee of a store selling alcohol or tobacco (as mandated in the western world) then age is considered a personal information which is none of your business .


2. Another point which makes people (especially women) hesitates to give out real age , even in relationship is that majority of them would be unhappy about the consequence or after effect of their disclosure


3. For example , you as a 40 year old lady should be using" sir" for me because my immediate younger brother is even more than 5 yrs older than you 😊. You gave me the opportunity to write this because you just told me your real age .

4. If that Op mistakenly do anything wrong on Nairaland , you will soon see people uttering phrases like " Get out ! You this ordinary 21 year old boy .


I will usually say , can you tell us your age ranges ? Even many social media like Facebook , Instagram , Google etc give revealing of age as Optional . And the Op problem is not about age .

@SammySuave.

Don't give out your real age out in the public next time , you can just say am between 20 to 25, men will be men 😊



Now , that VO approved someone before you does not mean automatic approval for you because the VO is not sharing biscuit.


1. Your Answer to the 1st question " Why re you going to the US ? is too common and become an old school karaoke amongst Nigeria F1 visa applicants , so you failed that question .


2. You have answered the 2nd question ' Who will be sponsoring you (my dad ,period..you should have stopped there.) in your first phrase, but after that you continued talking until you talked yourself into problem which the consular officer thinks you have rehearsed or memorized .


3. Your 3rd answer to your study plans after graduation is also the new common song which majority of F1 visa hopefuls sings to the ears of the VO and your own version of the song did not even rhyme to your present situation .


YOUR 2ND INTERVIEW
===================

.1. You repeated your 1st errors in your 2nd interview but the most funny part is your answer to Why BYU ?

Me: I chose Brigham young university Idaho for three main reasons, to begin BYU Idaho is owned and operated by the church of Jesus Christ which I am a member of


2. As interesting to know that United States is a religious country like Nigeria , yet they do not like anything religious attachment , therefore your answer to Why BYU is knocked out .


My friend you have lot of home assignments to do . Your situation combination is the problem as well as how to express yourself to the interview officer .

@SleepingTablets: Yes I have ed businesses that I am operating here in Nigeria since bagging my LL.M in in 2016. That's why I want to pursue an MBA instead of another LL.M since I am not mentally prepared to pursue a PhD just yet.

My trips to the UK from has 8 months and another 1 year between those trips. I also got my previous US visas from , first as a student and the second was upon graduation and working. I didn't stay up to 3 weeks in the US in each of the previous visits which were towards the expiration of the visas as I was always asked at the POE twice why I was just using the visas and I always answered "I've been busy with work".

As for the Canadian visa, I may or may not use it as I am currently working on a project that requires my physical presence in Nigeria and the visa is to expire in June and I can't abandon the project just to embark on a foreign trip of just 3 weeks maximum.

I have noted your point on taking the GRE and I will work on that. I just want to know if this is worth risking as I don't want to waste any money or even appearing desperate. The last refusal for a B1/B2 visa was in March 2022.

I just want to know if this is worth pursuing or not.





@esdajo

Alright it seems you know what you 're doing . Its worth giving a try so go ahead and apply but prepare some of your explanations here in your DS 160 and your questions and answers (mock) training .

Put emphasis on your established businesses (that ties you to MBA) . Meanwhile , I did not say you must write the GRE but if you have time and the resources it's a plus if you write it.

Good afternoon men and women of the same course,

I want to inquire about 120.

I have gotten a 120 for PhD at ucf with no funding and the source of my funding is family, however, another institution(Purdue university) gave me ission to MSC with little funding.

Can I still request an I20 from the new institution and use it to apply for a Visa?


Thank You.


@knostbrown01

There is a choice in rotten apples , and your choice is PhD because you did not do well in scholarship ratings of both schools.

PhD has more reputation above MSc and especially if you are an outstanding student . If you can proof your family financial capability then why not ? Go for PhD .

Good day everyone and happy Sunday,

Please, I would like to know if not having a GRE score would have a negative effect on my student visa interview at the U.S embassy. I have an LL.M from an European country (2016) and would like to pursue an MBA in the U.S. later on this year.I have visited the US twice on a B1/B2 and also refused by them when I wanted to renew 2 years ago. Been to the UK thrice and I also have a Canadian vistor's visa that I am yet to use. What are my chances of getting the visa considering my profile? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

@esdajo.

Not having a GRE score would not have any negative effect on your visa interview outcome , but not having a good excuse (in the case the VO ask why did you not write GRE) or reason for not writing it might have a bad effect on your interview score.

1. You have an LL.M from an European country and you plan to apply for MBA in the US later in the year , are you presently using your LL.M to work as a business manager ? Because you must explain to the VO why going for MBA from law ? Or you want to apply for MBA because the enrollment process is kinda easy and flexible ?

2. You have B1/B2 visa before but you were denied when you wanted to renew ? This looks like you have abused the B1/B2 somehow via over-staying or any other way .

3. You have been to UK thrice , and you presently have a Canada visitors visa and you intend to apply for MBA towards the end of this year .

4. I don't work in the embassy but to me this looks like an old-trick of travel history or visa histories which does not beat the US embassy anymore. The VO will see your previous B1/B2 visa denial as number one bad omen, the number 2 bad omen is that you did not keep to your B1/B2 instead you have changed to F1 which is even not related to your law career .

Your visa chance is 35/100% but God can do wonder ooo.

Thank you very much for your response, and indeed I’d need to Apply for an emergency appointment cos the date attached to the letter is already very close.

@EarlMembo7

You 're welcome. Apply for your emergency appointment via your CGI portal. Merge your MRV visa fee payment receipt and your invitation letter to a pdf and attach it when sending the email and pray that they approve it for you. Mind you , the content of your invitation letter will determine the decision of your emergency Appointment approval.

1. US embassy worldwide used the opportunity of the Covid 19 pandemic to reduce the work-load of their staffs , and to increase the inflo and outflo security of people

2 . Nobody can abuse the emergency application because you can only apply for it once , and you are not the one to determine the outcome. Why they subject everybody to emergency Appointment process is to give audience to people who are going to America with genuine and very important activities and to reduce the large numbers of applicants trooping to the embassies everyday.

3. America is bigger than Nigeria almost 11 (eleven) times , so they are still looking for genuine people but they did not have enough work force or staffs to attend to visa demands .
Go ahead and apply for your emergency Appointment.

I like your points, but the employer as sponsor part wont work, because she has spent just 2yrs at NSCDC. If she claims her employer as her sponsor, the next question will be “ why is your employer sponsoring you?”

@phemorhino

Your redress is acceptable but in the op case , i will still stick to " my employer is my sponsor . Reason is that there must be an agreement -bond betw i and my employer which is a very good ties for me to return back to Nigeria .

Another point is that , my employer as a company or an organisation have more than enough funds than i or my family , therefore the VO will not even doubt my employer's financial capability .

1. Now to answer your question , i would tell the VO thus :. My employer is sponsoring me because within the space of my 2 years working with the organisation , i have been able to cover more than 75% of my targets , hence their decision to send me abroad in order to widen my international experience in my department because we 're expanding our branches across Africa in the next 3 years.

Prinxly:

I renewed while I was a student a few years ago so some things may have changed. However, if you plan on renewing in Canada and you have a Nigerian port (or a port that requires a Canadian visa for travel), you must start by getting a Canadian visitor visa. This is an easy process. At the time I did it, I completed the form online, paid the Canadian visa fee, and submitted some documents including my bank statement, port photos, purpose of my visit (i.e. renew my student visa), and a copy of the appointment letter from the US embassy. I was a student on the three occasions that I applied and had between $2500–$3500 in my . They reviewed my documents and asked me to send my port along with a return envelope to the Canadian VAC in NY. I believe the location of the VAC depends on your state. The Canadian visa lasts for the entire duration of your port validity so you can always go to Canada again for a vacation if you want.
The website below has information on how to apply for a US visa in Canada. Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on apply

https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv

Select the consulate where you want to apply it. I was pressed for time whenever I applied so I just applied to the consulate with the earliest availability – twice in Ottawa, once in Toronto, and once in Halifax. Someone said that Halifax discontinued student visa application but confirm this when you apply. Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver definitely do though.

I found the visa process to be smooth and easy, unlike my experience in Nigeria. The Consular Officers are more polite, light-hearted, and willing to even joke with you and ask you about your course and career trajectory study. However, it is still an interview so be prepared. I went with my form I20, academic transcripts, bank statements, pay stubs for GA/RA, scholarship letters showing funding, enrollment verification letter obtained from my university, student ID, letter from my program director, and driver’s license. Despite all the documents that I went with, they only asked for my form I20 on all the occasions and the interviews were brief. In my opinion, most U.S. residents get their visas renewed, however be prepared. Typically, the rejections I observed were from non-Canadians in Canada who wanted to visit the US. Except things have changed, they will mail your port to you at an address that you provide when you applied. You also have the option to ask DHL to hold your port for pickup. I always used the latter option because it was more convenient for me. The entire process takes about 3–4 days whether in Canada or Mexico. I would fly in on Sunday evening, visit the embassy on Monday morning and would get an email from the Consulate on Tuesday afternoon that port is ready for pickup. DHL would then tell me to come pick it up on Wednesday or Thursday. I would then fly back to the US on Thursday evening.

It also goes without saying that if you have ever been arrested or convicted, make sure to go with the final Court disposition. Some people say if you have ever had a ticket, go with proof that you paid it. I believe you can get these records at the Court.

I renewed once in Mexico. I did not require a visa to Mexico because folks on certain visas (F1, J1, H1, LI etc) could go to Mexico with an unexpired US visa. If you want to go the Mexico route, make sure you go before your visa expires, not after. The process is like Canada. I had my interview at US consulate in Tijuana. I was in San Diego at the time so it was convenient for me.
The website below has information on how to apply for a US visa in Mexico. Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on apply

https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-mx/niv

Although the chances of a renewal are high and the Consular Officers appear nice (definitely way nicer than in Nigeria), this is still an interview so be prepared. If your visa is unfortunately not approved, you can’t’ come back to the US. Finally, I would suggest Canada as an option because of language and safety concerns in Mexico.
Hope this information helps and good luck.




@prinxly . Your post entail some honesty because at the end of your essay you pointed out the truth which is what i won't advice any Nigerians to go and renew F1 visa in a 3rd country except in an extreme case , like sickness , illness , lack of money to travel home , etc.


In your post, you said this ; Although the chances of a renewal are high and the Consular Officers appear nice (definitely way nicer than in Nigeria),

- The consular officers in Nigeria are as well nicer . The consular officers in Nigeria 're not bad . What happens is that the consular officer in Mexico or Canada did not press you harder or were lenient to you because you have gotten your F1 visa already from Nigeria where the game is tough .



Number 2. You also wrote this ;

this is still an interview so be prepared. If your visa is unfortunately not approved, you can’t’ come back to the US.

God bless you @Prinxly for clarifying that aspect which is my fear . If anyone goes to Mexico or Canada to renew F1 and the visa kind of not approved as a result of any mistake , that individual will have to take available flight back to Nigeria because he or she won't be able to travel back to the US.

Another blow is that for that person to now come to Nigeria and reapply would be a very difficult task because you will explain to Nigeria VO why you opted for Canada or Mexico in the 1st place . They thinks it's automatic , like okay am coming from USA to Mexico , therefore take my port and give me another visa . No. It doesn't work like that.

If you have access to your previous profile use it of course . And your invitation letter is not useless , okay ? You need that invitation letter to along with your MRV payment receipt before you can be granted an emergency Appointment.

That aside , anyone going for a conference , wedding , visiting , burial and graduation ceremonies must have an invitation letter. The US visa officer may not ask for it that does not mean that it is not compulsory. The only set of people who does not need an invitation letter are those going for tourism .

I have expired F1 visa i used for cabrillo college then. I currently have a 5 year B1/B2 so that knocks off your believe that it's only those who have been to the US that has brain to research.

A Nigerian who got F1 visa from Abuja or Lagos and wants to renew in Canada or Mexico is permissible but such applicant is now a 3rd citizen. The VO will even wonder why coming here ? Why not your country ? If he or she got a denial i tell you go and ask, such student won't be able to go back to the US from Mexico or Canada except thru illegal avenue.

What you are trying to promote is called ' Consular Shopping ( leaving your home country where you got visa ) which the US embassies frown at.

@MizAlero. Go and renew your visa in Nigeria because that's the rules of the visa , go back to the issuing country. If you go to Canada or Mexico and your F1 visa is denied you won't be able to go back to the US because the remaining visa in your port will be invalidated.you will be going back to Nigeria from Mexico or Canada .

P.s: I didn’t add myself as a sponsor because I am just 2years with the service and it might me questionable (please let me know if I am wrong for this thought)

Please I will like to know the areas I need to add and subtract anything and what I can work on for my next interview.
I will appreciate every response
Thanks


@Bolanle .

1). Many factors contributed to your F1 rejection eg , you 're going on a F1 study with your family and with funding that is not up to a quarter which leaves u with approximately %40, 000 deficit and u think VO will accept that logic of family sponsor ?

2). VO does not always ask where have u been to ? The question should have been , Have u travel out of your country b4 ? She asked u because she saw your consistent travels to uae which looks like a deceit to claim travel history to the VO.

3). The response you gave to the question ' why GCU is your home goal like u scored inside your own net giving opponent the edge and the twin questions that trows u off balance are ' Is this for promotion ? & Do you have a student permit to this effect ?

4. In your situation your best sponsor is your employer .


God bless Nigerians .
