Hi, so I have a question

*** so the thing Is I'm married to an American and yet to file my green card petition, my brother in Nigeria booked an appointment with the US embassy so he can get his F1 Visa but unfortunately he was denied because I took time off school. Now my main question is this- Is there anything I, my wife or my brother can do so he can get the Visa and resume school this fall?

Please I'll definitely be reading responses and hope I find one that help this case alot. Thanks✌

Your school should have a plan which is usually recommended

Thanks.

No doubts but the school's plan is expensive. I am looking for alternatives to save cost.

I think you need to first speak with your school to be sure it is not MANDATORY to use the one they recommended.
So you don't go and waste money for nothing.

It was not mandatory until now. It's about $1000/semester and that's pretty too much cos it was not planned for. I am putting it out cos I see many websites and I would like to know if there are other options.

Me : I am going for my masters degree in industrial engineering at Tamuk
Vo: what is your study plan
Me: I Plan to take 30 credits hour in 24month to complete this degree program. I will be taking the research option which requires me to take courses in engineering project management, wind farm layout design& operational management, safety systems, six sigma, and principle of optimization among others.

Vo: so why the USA
Me: the USA offers education of the highest quality and flexibility and I believe the profound system of wind energy power generation in the country which made it ranked in the top 2 in the world is as a result of the thorough research in wind farm been carried out in various schools and research centers so I I will be guaranteed a great learning opportunity both on campus and field work which will expose me to best practices and technical skills that I can bring to my country to help in improving our power sector by harnessing the wind energy for power generation which s poor in the country today.

Me: thank schools
Thank you for your observations.

When did you finish your Bsc?
2014. Full stop.

Stop wasting time on the name of your exact school, that info is irrelevant to your Visa approval.

If u finished from Babcock, correct, u can flaunt it. Your parents r used to paying high fees, American school fees is not a big deal.

Which schools u applied to?
Name the schools in full except u applying to popular schools.

Also, u said u applied to 4 schools but u only named 3.

Why Tamuk?
In your last sentence, u said the Tamuk will expose u to new innovations, what new innovations exactly?

What will this degree do for you?

Try to visualize this question as what is your career plan?

In sentence one, u said u would hv gained necessary practical skills to Kickstart your career in the power sector

In sentence two, u said d degree would have made u gained managerial skills at Ministry of power. Your tori no dey add up o.

Boss, which one u dey na? First sentence u want to start a new career, d next sentence u want to become a manager at Fashola's ministry. Rethink this part.

Have u visited other countries?
No. I have not had a reason to.

Just stick to No. My opinion.

I hope your mom's is twice or thrice of your i-20 deficit?

Goodluck

Does your school mandate that international students purchase the University's health insurance plan?

Visa delayed today at Abuja embassy
I was interviewed at the first window to the left by a slim young lady.
Transcript:
Me: Good morning
VO: your port & I-20
Me: I did
VO: How did find out about the school
Me: I used usnews.com to search for the school...
VO: (cut in) and then?
Me: I discovered the school website, entered into the site and checked through the program's curriculum and faculty program which I foumd out to be suitable for my research goals.
VO: Did apply to other schools
Me: Yes I did
VO: which school:
Me: I applied to Louisiana State University, West Virginia University, Morgantown and University of Texas El paso
VO: Why did u choose this one?
Me: Apart from the fact that New Mexico State University hosts one of the 54 Water research institute in United States and as such the institute provide grants for all water related researches in the school which hopefully I am a potential beneficiary (Cuts in)
VO: I can see your uncle is sponsoring you
Me: Yes, my uncle
VO: Why is he sponsoring u?
Me: He has always been ive of my education especially during my masters program when I related the limitations in.my research results due to nonavailability of required facilities. In fact, he encouraged me most of the time and and advised me to travel abroad for my doctoral research which he also promised to fund.
I EXPECTED HER TO ASK FOR HIS STATEMENT BUT SHE DIDN'T. INSTEAD SHE STARTED ANODA ROUND OF QUESTIONING THUS:
VO: Why do you want a doctorate degree?
Me: the doctorate degree is expected to raise my educational capabilities in research and teaching. Before now I've taught mathematics. Further mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at A level and pre-varsity centres. Such a profound program with will enable me(cut in)
VO: You are not eligible for visa now.
I WONDER WHY SHE ENGAGED ME IN A SUCH A LONG CONVERSATION AND STILL ENDED UP WITH REJECTION
I THINK I NEED FUNDING B4 GOING BACK O! ALTHOUGH MY FACULTY SAID I'M IN THE LIST OF POTENTIAL STUDENTS TO BE GIVEN FUNDING BUT THEY'VE NOT MATCHED THAT WITH ACTION.
PLS HOUSE, WHICH SCHOOL GUARANTEES PHD FUNDING WITH GRE SCORE OF 295 IN WATER RESOURCES OR/AND ENVIRONMEMTAL SCIENCE ENGINEERING?

Just my thought, maybe you should speak about your research area well. For example, you can say it's the reason for you choosing the school. Explain what your research is all about too. As a PhD student, you should be at least ionate about your research agenda.

What happened to Google or did you pay anyone here to do the research for you?

Easy there tiger

Yankee no be for everybody i swear

Truth is, nobody can help you with such list 'cos IT DOES NOT EXIST!.. My suggestion; get your hands dirty with online search engines, grad cords if you have to and check LinkedIn if you can connect with current students in your desired schools... I hope this helps.

Baba don vex, sorry Sir! hahaha... some persons tend to think there are shortcuts to this Yankee grad school thing.

For the people looking for app fee waiver, many universities host online webinars and give out waivers when you attend them. the mailing list of schools you like, you never know what might come out of it.

To the recently approved, congratulations!

Wretch32:
Easy there tiger

Nothing like easy there. People want everything at the platter of gold. Imagine that kind of work, listing schools that will give him full funding lolz. Nobody even knows his profile. I call it laziness and unseriousness. So many schools put up all these details on their program page, so it's not something that's hard to find. He can as well mail program directors of prospective schools.

Nothing good comes easy, there is no shortcut. He has to sit down and do some research.

LOL..some just don't want to put in their own efforts..in this internet age..for their own application list...LOL.

Thank you so much for the observations...I will work on that.

sharwama:

Yes there's a lot of progress but there are things I would like to point out. I am just so tired. Come let me do mock for you so you can "hear" your responses especially "Why EIU?''. Maybe that's the only way you will understand what I have been repeating. By the time I cut you off after one or two sentences without you making complete sense, then you will understand my earlier sermons about precision and putting your best ideas first
Yes I am donating myself to you for mock, I can't write anymore. I am in severe pains

Are you Fayose?

Thank you.

So if I buy another visa fee. I hope it won't be any problem to change to Abuja right? And DS 160 already show Lagos, Nigeria.
Or Do I have to fill another DS160, or I can still use the same one.

nelem:


someone just advised you



if you have your interview on 19th of august and it's approved (without AP), you get your port after 3 working days(22nd-23rd). and you can travel on/before 26th. but if you're placed on AP it now depends on when the embassy eventually issues your visa.
you can only reschedule once free of charge. once that is used you have to pay another visa fee.

There's an option for you to change your location on the Ds-160 if you haven't submitted.
