Girlllllll I went for my F1 Visa interview and it got accepted. Thank you soo much. I made sure to be first and I went to a male consular😂😂everything you said helped. And my confidence was on point. Thank you💕🔥🇺🇸
Yesssss!!!! Go Girl!!!!
You did it!!!!! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
I am so happy for you!!!! 🔥❤️😀😄😀🙂😁
Congratulations! 🎉
Safe flight to the USA. 😊
Haha you went, fully ready for them..🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing your testimony here!!! ❤️
How did it go? Please full gist . .mine is next month and I'm so scared
life okay he greeted me yeah
Then he asked why I'm going to the US and I said Education
Then he opened my I-20 and asked what I was going to study and i said Business
Then since the school I'm going to is a Two university, he asked me what I wanted to do after that and I said I wanted to finish my other two years at a four year university.
He then asked me which 4year Uni and I told him and he asked me if I did me research on that university and I said yes.
Then he asked me who's funding my education and I said my mum and he asked me for the financial document and I gave him. Then he opened the document and asked for my mother's name and I told him.
Then he asked how many other Schools I applied to and how many accepted me. I told him I applied to 3 and 2 accepted me and I picked the one I'm going to.(it's best you have variety cause if you only have one school, they'll see it as a rush to the US)
Yeah then he started tyyyypppiiiinnnnnggggggg and I got approved
That's great!! Congratulations and thanks..

Not exactly but in my opinion I feel it’s better to have males interview you. They tend to be more considerate.
I actually wanted a man to interview me. But the security guy told me to stand at the lady's side. Chai. I was scared but I remained confident. My interview was scheduled for 9.30 am but I came at 7am and was allowed inside. I wasn't the first sha but coming early helped. The lady didn't smile at all. She just asked me a few questions, didn't ask to see any of my documents and then said I'm going to issue you your Visa. I was so shocked. Lol. God is good
I know that feeling. 🤣
Yes, God is good!! Congratulations!!!!!😊
Wow I tap into this favour
God is great my dear I pray God almighty favour me
I tap this blessing god help me
I tapped from your anointing.🙏🏿
Hello Everyone,
Thanks for watching today’s video.
I recently moved my TH-cam Channel from my personal Google Account to a Brand Account and this made me lose all my previous comments and replies on old videos.
Incase, you want me to reply you again please do let me know and I’ll try to reply as soon as possible.
Just know that I reply comments.🙂
Regards.
I got my F1 visa approved this last Tuesday 30 May 2023. This is my first attempt and I got the F1 visa. I went with no Travel History. My passport was with no any visa. I think I got my visa because I had strong ties. I am employed for six year now in the same organisation, I am a Logistics Manager with a good salary. I am married. I have no siblings or parents in the US. Travel History does help only 20%. I Strong ties are the pillars for the approval of a visa. I was asked when did I graduate from high school and University, how am I going to pay for my studies.
Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your experience!
Going for my interview very soon. I pray it goes my way. Thanks for the video.👊🏿
How was it ?
Nice job Aladi, I am glad you eventually got it. Can you describe the process of the interview itself. I mean what is a candidate expected to come along with. What about the police checkpoint outside and the photograph specs. Also its important not to jubilate in that whole vicinity.
The consular officers are very highly trained people in human psychology and they know when you are not keeping it real like you said. Congrats on your visa as well. More suggestions to come later
Thank you.
Aladi The Part that sweet me was when i watched Part 3 and i saw you already in America 😂🙌🏼🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 E pain them
Please i hope to also get my own American visa when i Apply. By Gods grace. Despite how they deny Nigerians
Haha! You’re funny!
Best wishes for your own future visa interview!!!!
Thank you for this great video. I have watched all three parts and I find them very helpful. Please I would like to know how you proved ties to your country. What were the documents you presented as ties? Did you sponsor yourself? If yes, how much is advisable to have as statement of account? I will appreciate your response.
Saw you from Wode Maya's comments, and I just subscribed, give me more videos to watch, anyway your very beautiful. Take care

Thank you very much for this video,my interview is next week this has helped me a lot.Quick Question Please...When reapplying for the Visa did u have to pay the SEVIS fee again? Or just the Visa Application Fee
@@AladiAkoh Thank youuuu
Please come back to us to tell us how your visa interview went
Sevis fee is just once right?
UGBOMA EMEKA JUNIOR
Yes
I have my interview for this week!!!! God help me!
How are was it?
Hi, how did it go?
Hey Aladi, I went for my first ever F1 visa interview recently and it got rejected, but watching you videos now I feel like I can do it better and please is there a way I can speak to you before reapplying, maybe instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp or something, Thank you.
Sorry to hear this! My email address: aladiakoh@gmail.com
I’ve sent you a mail already, I await your response, thank you🙏🏽
Watsup bruh? How was it the second time? Mine is this coming Friday!! God is good 🙏
@@adebayobabatunde8726 please update us after your interview. Mine is next month. Good luck 🙏
@@aos8695 Unfortunately, it didn't go well. The consular officer advised me to have my interview in my home country. There are a lot of personal factors that contributed to mine I think. But, PRAY, believe and make sure you prepare well before you go! It's going to be fine!
This videos helps.. But what do you think were the reasons for your 2 denials?
Wow thnks dear for dis video preparing mine in November.prayers
Best wishes for your visa interview. 🙂
@@AladiAkoh thnks dear en prayer for mi coz its not an easy thing am soo afraid
Arinda Irene
You have to overcome fear.
Just be calm and confident when answering the interview questions.
Thanks so much for this I really needed it I got rejected today so painful at Lagos embassy
Pls I need advice on what to do I used a family friend as a sponsor and guardian which I think that lead to the denial so can I reapply with my dad as sponsor
Thanks Aladi , you are the best.
Awww! Thank you. 😀
@@AladiAkoh u re welcome dear. But couldn't see Ur email.
My email address is in the description box of this video or in the about of this channel.
Good morning; I have been following your channel and watching your videos to guide. I just finished my second interview at the Lagos US Embassy and still got rejected. Pls what do I do and can I get your contact to communicate directly. I feel I did everything right this time around.
Give us recap of this video on its will look like now you this video is last 2 years we need the new update
What do you think about using Like an uncle as a sponsor but we have different surname
I really like your experience, but it may be better if you specifically discuss about all the questions you face though out your 3 visa attempts.
U welcome. Can I have ur number so that I may ask for some assistance regarding the interview?
Hello Aladi, I reside in Dubai, been here for 3 months+ and i'm currently applying to move to the US to study.. Would it be OK if i set Dubai as my permanent address? or Nigeria.. cos my visa will expire in December.
Have been denied a visa before but in my current application i have partial funding
I need assistance for the next interview
Rosemary dear, this videos is so helpful ....i need to confirm something, after making all the necessary payment in the school...is there any chance of your studying there getting denied as a result of delay in visa approval?
i get it now and i understand your point perfectly, thanks alot dear.
I would like to know if there is any formal dress code... or what to wear to the interview
Hii Aladi, is it possible to communicate with you directly please? My school resumes next month but I’m yet to schedule an appointment. I’m nervous about a lot of things and would really like to speak to someone who had been through this
hello aladi, please did you book your 3rd visa interview on the cgi website selecting regular or previously denied ?
I heard that picking previously denied can prevent you from seeing early interview dates
please i need your response on this 🙏
Hello dear,thanks for the video but when your admission get approved do you have to pay for your university fees before the interview or it has to be after or you can pay when you are in America already
No, you don’t have to pay before the interview. You can pay after you arrive in the USA.
Pls Aladi do you at all change your school during all this while of your denial?
Did you get the visa with the same school you went in with during your first attempt
Am seeking for admission in Lone Star college. Does it mean is a local school? I want to do nursing but using my HND
Did he ask you about job? Because I don’t have a job I’m currently doing NYSC
Please how were you able to apply multiple times and your expedited appointment approved within these few months?
Please can you make a video on how to study BS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
mam your all videos are very good and very helpful May God bless you always
Thank you.
Hi!! I have been following your videos and they are very encouraging and motivating!! But I have a situation at hand wish you can help me!!
Hi Aladi,
I'm one of your followers and I'll receive my I-20 from MIU University in a few days, and I want you to help me prepare my visa Interview please. Can you help me please ???
My visa was rejected this month and I’ve been trying to re- apply but when I was filling in on my phone to pay the visa fee I was asked if I’ve been denied a visa in the last three months and I said yes, so they showed me that there are no appointments but when I selected NO then they gave me an appointment and instructions on how to pay so my question dear is will that lie affect me because I don’t want to wait for three months to elapse so that I apply again my 1-20 will have expired
Actually they will know so just wait. Worst thing to do is lie to them. They have every information on their systerm.
Please, I need ur help and advice here, I was denied a visa last year June. And am ready for another one, but no appointment date available. My sevis fee will be expiring by May. How do I do to secure a better date for the interview. Thanks
I graduated high school last year. Is it possible I can plait didi(hairstyle to the interview)?
Rosemary Ose
In my opinion, you should be fine with any hairstyle that’s comfortable for you.
Hi Aladi, my question is how do I apply for scholarship in order to study abroad and which website can i find this scholarship
Hey dear...abole? Great videos ..can U say all the questions that were asked you the third and successful time? PLS? Again, my course start date is 15 August,2019 and am scheduling visa interview for around 18th July...do U think it's ok?
@@AladiAkoh oh! How is that when there's a denial it's most likely people remember the Qs but not the same in the approval cases. Anyways, thanks for the reply.
Hi Alad, I got denied this year and I plan to re apply what is your advice
Hello, please is the interview of going to study there as an undergraduate the same with yours
Hello
My name is Yusuf from Nigeria
My visa interview is next month
I don’t know what answer they really want
Okay
Thanks.
Keep winning sis
Thank you! 🙂
my brother was denied this week, please i need help on how you got date so quick . how do i go about it please 🙏. i heard i should pick regular on cgi website
I have an interview on April,I need help please my statement of account is not much, I got admission into city university new York to study business administration
Hi Aladi.. thanks for sharing your informative video. Can you recall wether during the first two denials you got; you were still doing your NYSC? And how long was your final visa approval date from your school resumption date?
Can you recall?
Hello,
I was done with NYSC before I applied for my student visa.
My 3rd and last visa interview was on August 8th and my School officially resumed on August 20th, but the orientation started on the 15th of August.
Okay. Understood.. thanks for the prompt feedback. I’m considering reapplying for the visa after my NYSC. My F1 visa was denied on Tuesday. And I suspect the youth Corp had a great influence on that decision. Tho my school resumes on August 19, while my NYSC elapses on September 23. So I considered deferring my admission till January next year. I hope we keep in touch nevertheless.
Oh! I’m sorry about your experience.
You have made a good decision to defer till next year.
Sure, we should keep in touch.
Best wishes! 🙂
I am planning on going for interview in December but am still doing my nysc, what is my chance
@@ituasamson5538
How did it go
Pls what are the process involved in your reapplying for visa , did you fill another Ds-190
I'm 32 and my intended sponsor legally lives in the US,do you think there might be issues regarding age or the fact that my sponsor resides in the US?
Be prepared to answer questions like why is your sponsor willing to spend so much on you?
@@aishagassama7721 please, how do you go about answering this question?
Am interested in this
Same here some tips on how to go about it if the sponsor is in the USA
Am going for the third time I really need tips to pass through
I don’t understand how you applied 3 times in the space of 3 months. I thought emergency appointment is just once?😕
That was in 2018. It was easier to get appointments then. I never used any emergency appointment(s).
Hi Rosemary
My interview is next month and am just 17 going to 18 are there any chances I can get it
Hi i got denied for the first time please help me with the second interview.
I Wanna know Universities that offers admission most for International students.. Moreover for Masters degree program's (Real Estate/property management)..
Do some online research
My dear do you have to pay for visa fee for all the different appointments?
Yes.
You went with the same exact documents?
Please which documents did you take along with you for the interview
Hey I have attended the visa interview two times I didn't get I got the same lady at the second time I was so confident and very clear in my answers but I didn't get and I was in a last time slot
Yes I'm planning to reapply. I attended in chennai india. I need your help. After I rejected the second time I was depressed you know my situation because I had the same experience of you I watched your first and second episode
I felt it was a like a business. I got the last time slot and people who attended that last time slot got rejected and even officer asked only one question how can judge a person by only one question
I have searched you on Instagram to send a message and get valuable information from you however I couldn't find you. If you don't mind can you pls give me your mail id so I can mail you
@@AladiAkoh when I came out from the visa office I was like almost died. My mind was blank I couldn't face my dad
interesting story,Aladi
I was first to be interviewed by a lady and was denied. So I'd say it's grace and not being the first.
hi I’ve a question I’m going to attend a community college for a 2 years program to transfer for a 4 years university then but the length of my program on my I-20 is 2 years and I want to know what to answer when the officer will ask me what should I do at the end of my program please help me I’m in trouble with this question my interview is on Monday ???????
How did your interview go? Sorry for late reply!
Did the information i provided in the frist interview affect the 2nd? did they relate them or is it a whole new thing?
How long do you feel i should reapply please
Pls can I just comb my hair a neat way and tie a bandana around it.. ? My interview is next week and I find it difficult to move my hair if it is newly plaited ....
Do what makes you comfortable. You can use a headband or fancy head tie.
@@AladiAkoh thank u
Hello my name is franklin orobosa....actually dis is my first attempt,tho am bold nd outspoken but am kind of scared.....can u just enlighten me on aw to go abt it...plz
@@AladiAkoh can I have your contact so I can talk to u....plz
Thank u very so very much
@@AladiAkoh Alrgt I will
Actually I didn't see ur email address can u just text it for.
@@AladiAkoh Alrgt..thank u
I have been to interview for like two times but by God's grace I will be going again next month and it will go well in Jesus name..I will try to be that first person and look for a woman because man have fuck me up to much 😂 well thinks girl for everything
Aladi did they look at your Nigerian. school reports?
No.
If I never met my sponsor from USA and we only met on Facebook
And if the interviewer asks me when I met and where I met him
If I respond I met him on Facebook will that be a problem
I’m sorry I really don’t know.
The final decision lies in the hands of the Consular Officer.
Pls I want to go and do interview next month, I dnt know If they will allow me to speak Yoruba because I don't hear there English
You will be fine. They try to speak slowly for you to understand and they are ever ready to repeat themselves.
You are looking so good 😍😍😍😍
Awww! 🥰
Thank you. ❤️
I am 16 and this is my first interview. Did they ask questions concerning s s 3 subject
No, they didn’t. I went as a graduate student. Good luck!
Great video 👏👏
Please village people should forget me too when it's time 😂😂
There's a conception that female officers are usually more aggressive than their male counterparts regardless of gender.
You can talk about your life in the US or about great schools for international students you've heard about.
Hi pls if I'm asked how I got to the the university... Can I just tell them it's was through an online website?
Ezeudo Favour yes, just let the officer know that you researched and found the school online.
@@AladiAkoh thank u
Please did you reapply all the three times this same year??
Yes.
2018.
What’s the possibility of getting f1 visa without assistanship? Though you have someone who’s going pay for your in US.
+Evans Nyanney
Hi,
As long as you have a proof of sponsorship, you should be fine.
Thanks for that quick reply.
My interview is next week Wednesday and want to find out again- I have a low GRE score, can that one cause my rejection?
Sometimes, they do not even ask about GRE Scores.
I didn’t even write GRE before coming here and I was not asked about it during my three visa interviews.
I am not sure that a low score will pose a problem.
You just have to relax and be confident about your answers.
Best wishes for your visa interview.
Aladi Akoh thanks so much for the given insight.
The visa didn’t go through dear!
I was asking the following questions;
1. My age
2. If I’m married
3. If I have children
4. School I attended

Thanx
@@AladiAkoh My point exactly. They didn't send me a screenshot of the I-20. I will mail them to do so. Thank you very much.
By the way, I've seen all three parts of your videos though
Please can I get your email?
@@AladiAkohAlright then.
I will send you an email soon
Are these interviewers black Americans or whites?
Both.
It’s well.
They should understand the fact that we still have genuine applicants.
Aladi Akoh exactly
Please I need your mail
So difficult to understand you
Sorry about that.
Any suggestion on how I can improve?
Aladi Akoh anyway got my visa approved today on the second interview, it is very related to the officer and the officers mood🙃🙃
