Don't mind him; that was his opinion. First, your school and explain the case as it is.
You may need an immigration lawyer advice on best step to take. You need expert advice and you should be very careful as to which direction you take in resolving this, so that you'll not complicate your case.

Dear All,

Please i need sincere clarification and response

Two years (2017) ago my wife travel to the STATE with an F1 visa, but when she got there she realized she was 2 month pregnant tho she was menstruating and all. Anyway she got ed in the school and became the best in her department even with the pregnancy and all school fees payment was duly paid.

In between she ed for Insurance and medicare as a student through the school to deliver our baby,doing this period she has to chill out a semester so as to have the baby as such she has a semester left but her VISA will expired next week.

Anyway i advise her to come back to Nigeria so as to renew her VISA then go back to finish the last semester and make the family proud. She schedule her interview and eventually got the white paper after enough drilling and all but the VO requested for the medical invoice which she replied she's not with the invoice. She was then told to mail it over to there office at ISOLO.

Since there was no payment made as the insurance covered for the payment we sent a mail to the hospital from Nigeria and they provided the medical invoice but stated it was all covered by ALAMEDA medical and we submitted same at DHL, to my surprise today when i went to DHL for the port i saw a blue paper. sincerely i almost POO on my body, i read through and realised she has been denied. Sincerely i need advise as am blank right now. I advise her to come over to renew her VISA in Nigeria while she insist i should allow her finish her MSC programme before. Sincerely i'm so sad and sick right now.

Please house what can be done, we got another detailed invoice from the hospital today with the amount the insurance company paid for the medicare. I dont know if another VISA fee should be paid and she should go for another interview or is there a way we can go pay the medical fee and then reschedule another interview as i just want her to finish her MSC and come back home. Please note we paid all school fees totaling over 35000$

I'm so sad and down right now...I just need advise please house

I'm a novice on this matter. I just felt I should try encourage you because this is so touching.

So I'll say this. Please be strong sir. We can only imagine the pains, regrets, and all, we can never feel it. What has happened has happened.

But there are many beautiful suggestions here already which I trust will help.

And while we await the breakthrough, keep your mind at rest. Don't be downcast. Your health is important too; plus you need a clear mind to take accurate decisions.

Even if the worst ever happens, that's still not the end of life. There is always a bouncing back.

So please allow the joy of the Lord while the issue get sorted out. Some of us believe in grace, miracles, if that will be a last resort.

No way ....

why would you give her such advice. If she had only one semester there was absolutely no need to come to Nigeria to renew visa or go anywhere ..... you need to understand rules before going to do your own thing without thinking of consequences or full picture .... as long as she was still in status she doesn't need a visa stamp . An updated i20 is enough and she completes her semester and move on to OPT

You might have missed them and wanted to see them because its not easy to be away from your family but this was a decision taking without looking at the full picture.... if you wanted to see them then plan it for them to visit while the visa was still on ....It's hard getting F1 in the first place with this I dont really have any advice or solution. You can't really appeal or use a lawyer . F1 is at the discretion of the Vo. You can maybe show evidence of payment to the hospital or insurance and apply and hope for the best . If the embassy doesn't see full proof of paying the bill I can tell you for free, that visa ain't coming. They are strict on that matter because foreigners including our people really abuse the system

She not going to get an official ban.... if she did it would have been stated in the rejection

Once again... Thanks a lot to everyone here and to everyone that consoled my destiny ... That moment when u take to sarcasm and blaspheming to avert heart break and depression but with the way you all here responded, when I blow I go throw party for everyone on this forum to be present maybe December. I swear I love you all here.

And please me in ur prayers for forgiveness. I blasphamed . I agree I was lazy to take the GRE which would have increased my chances.

Finally can we reduce the noise about funding so VOs won't attack it. Maybe create another group cause truth is, they are reading this page. They didn't ask anyone for SOA meaning they have advanced their checks.

Make unah think am o. Nobody before me in the embassy was asked for SOA, I don't know after me.

Embassy's Nose in everywhere

Davidkking:
I don't study there o, just did a little research for you

thanks man

I don't know how many people can see this message.. But for the good of everyone, I'll advice sensitive issues should be discussed in private groups.

The embassy is making decision based on what's discussed here.

Good morning everyone! Any potential flight dispatch student going to IFOD? Kindly send a pm please.

Shortcess:

Chai! This is serious!

I don’t think he can be helped by an immigration lawyer
She was on F1 so it’s technically not possible, like someone suggested, best bet would be to pay the bills out of pocket (every single charge till the last cent) and reapply after that and hope for the best, and explain her ignorance on the issue.

What private groups?
You think it’s that easy to get away from being monitored/ watched?
The more private you try to get, the easier for them to infiltrate with a mole
Y’all just need to keep it clean and honest and stop posting anything out of your ass on the internet.

The truth is, Nigerians work in the embassy as well, so it is expected.

I will here to watch how uncle/aunt sponsor with respect to deficit will reduce,

Tohajan:


Chai! This is serious!

Over the last 24hours you’ve made the most noise about funding and what not and somewhat insinuating it was a ticket to a visa, I’d wanted to caution you but I didn’t want to have any back and forth, it’s good you realize how damaging such statements can be when not kept to yourself,

Everybody needs to keep it clean, and professional
Imagine you are a V.O yourself and use that to checkmate what you would term acceptable and unacceptable. So that the honest ones who feel that getting a visa is a privilege will not continually be affected by the actions of a few

Hey guys, my Visa was approved this morning at the Lagos consulate. Here is my transcript

VO:good morning
Me:good morning

VO: your i20 and port
Me: *hands it over*

VO: do you have any relatives in the United States?
Me: yes, my sister

VO: where does she stay
Me: I mentioned the name of the state

VO: what does she do
Me: she's a student

VO: why did you choose to go to Mcneese
Me: Mcneese state university has an abundance of school spirit including various campus activities to choose from
I noticed she was shaking her head so I stopped talking

VO: you haven't answered my question
Me: the department of biology at Mcneese State University advances student knowledge through a wide range of opportunities to enter the work force or continue their education
She was still shaking her head, so I started shaking

VO: we know that, I need a specific reason
I got really scared so I started blabbing along the lines of "it has the technological and reseach facilities that will aid my learning"
She still continued to shake her head

VO: all schools in the United States do that, I haven't heard your reason for picking this school
Me: Mcneese gave me the highest scholarship which is why I chose to go there
Then, she nodded

VO: that is what I wanted to hear. So, who will be sponsoring your education
Me: my mom

VO: what does she do
Me: she's an ant that works with XYZ company

VO: can I see her bank statement
Me: sure
This is where my heart was beating frantically because the money there wasn't up to the estimation of my fees but that was the best my mom could do

VO: does she have other bank s
Me: yes, she does

Vo: she just smiled and said "come and pick your Visa in 3 days time"
I was literally crying on the spot. I couldn't stop saying "thank you ma" because everyone who went before was denied but I didn't lose hope
So, all in all, thank you guys. This thread has been nothing but helpful to me and I hope others will benefit from this thread

was this ur first trial, and is it undergraduate level?
