When I read some transcript here, I just cant help but laugh uncontrollably. Someone said he lost his voice and was asking for pen all around in the interview hall just to get his voice back and boost confidence. Halidaf has come with his own that someone spoke in his head "to carry hin ogo comot for the VO presence b4 the Vo changes his/her mind". You guys will not kill somebody with laugh. Anyway, congratulations to you all who just got your visa and success to those yet to.

halidaf:

I would be an ingrate if I don’t post my transcript on here.. I have really benefited from this forum, met great people, had good laughs etc.. my interview was for 11am, but I got there as early as 9.05.. the devil tried to raise his ugly head several times but the angel God sent ahead took charge.. I woke up in the Morning and decided to cancel a prior agreement I had with a Taxi guy just to save cost and of course Brt was just the best option cos of traffic and all.. naso I enter BRT ooo, highlighted at cms, I was about to board a bike when one man pulled me back, I swear I ready punch person at that moment.. naso the guy bring out i.d card said he is from kinikankinikan division that he wants to search the envelope I was with (for my mind ‘ na u them send from my village abi’).. he went through my docs I just dey look am.. then d next thing I heard was you may have to follow me to lions building to verify some of your docs as this is a regular routine blabla and this would not take long at all, story! Do u have anything to say, he asked.. Oga I fit make call to my papa? He was like no! who be your papa sef? Then I told him, Oya call am sef he replied.. after a brief chat with popsy he sha look me dey smile “u for talk since na, Dog no dey chop Dog.. lol naso e find bike for me oo, put hand for pocket pay d bike.. I sha enter d embassy car park… suddenly my heart beat changed, I became really nervous, I sha sat down outside chilling…. Fast forward………
Got into the main decision room after much checks and all… most b1/b2 applicants were denied.. he got to my turn and suddenly I lost control of my right leg, d leg just dey shake anyhow

Vo: u said you are going to study what again?
Me:  I replied
Vo: so why did u choose this course?
Me : I chose this course cos it will help me develop the required skills and expertise needed to understand the global economy  through the knowledge of some key element of international biz such as the global finace and investment, this will malso prepare me for a career as a economics/management analyst and also improve my opportunity of joining the cbn
Vo: don’t u think the cbn will prefer a degree in ecn?
Me: well the international biz course is more flexible as it combines biz and ecn courses with relevant policies that revolves around economic growth which will be (cuts in)
Vo: that’s ok (nodding)
Vo: whats d name of your undergraduate institution
Me: University of Ilorin

So why Valparaiso uni?
Me: I chose this school cos am very much interested in their international biz department and also there is an ongoing development research by Dr Jacob sitati on trade policies titled “how trade policies can support poverty reduction and economic growth in developing nations with a case study of the African and asian economy.. (she don dey nod like agama at this point.. I just soju nu(throway face) they form baddo), this will however enable me to understand (cuts in)
Vo: I will be approving blablablablabla…. Stretched out d white paper, I stared at d white paper to see if she circled any location for pickup.. I was about to ask when someone in my head spoke to me (ode u no go carry ur long ogo comot from there b4 she collect am give u ur passport back mumu)
Me: *bouncing*bouncing*bouncing*boning till I got to the door… I com smile
 
No single doc was asked.. I really wanna appreciate everyone on this thread for their input, I hardly drop comments on here but I can not go a day without observing peoples post, and trust me have learnt a lot.. my transcript may not be fantastic but come on, No be by fantastic for those wey God be for..”if God be for us, who can go against us?

Don4aye thanks for the continuous prayers and words of encouragement.. I urge everyone to observe every individual on here, select few ones that u feel ok with and bond well with them.. we sometimes cant do this alone, we need God and meaningful people *dropsMic*

halidaf:

Halidaf congrats. To all you guys getting visas, please remember that getting visa is just the beginning. When you reach USA, you become a de facto ambassador of Nigeria. Let's keep the flag flying high and proud through great works!

@halidaf,

Cheers!

@ Halidaf congrats once again... You good... Make you enjoy Warriboy jeep o b4 u get urs

Congrats Halidaf Very Nice interview!. I tap into it & testimony!

Fortissimo:
Please guys doing research in the US especially in the life and physical sciences, how did you transition from naija to Yankee mode of research?

I understand there is a very steep learning curve. I need to hit the ground running mehn!

Bbdd, did you choose your research topic and advisor before getting to campus?

I got here before I could choose a supervisor. Everyone had to expose me to their areas of research.
These things are very department specific. If there's a specific person mentioned in your funding letter. That's the guy you should be contacting.

Nonetheless, I think this is the time to relax and prep for your trip. You'll have more than enough time to think about supervisors and research. Trust me.

aadeyi:


Yes you can, once it's not more than 6months old.

thank you. Please how do I notarized affifavit of support? My school requires a notorized affidavit of support before isuance of i20

Congrats @halidaf

Thank you so much brodas for taking ur time to help me. God bless u both

Bros, what you have just described is science. Science is exploratory and discovery. An early childhood educator has to stimulate the child creative ability. In a way, art is science.

If his undergraduate course has nothing to do with admitted course, they wouldn't consider him for admission. Moreso, early childhood education goes beyond 2 yrs even at 8, we are still talking about early childhood education. Let me google science and early childhood education and see what I get:

Halidaf congrats... Will pay ma visa fee next week. Am off to the embassy as soon as I can book a date.. Fortissimo I sight u.. Holudarey well don.. Don4eye ku ise o... Imperiouxxx how market na? Lovely weekend to everyone. Am still getting over the stress of my cotonou journey... Abuja will be my own point for interviews... Wish me luck.

No shakes. It will be better to let the VO know you experience with teaching kids and this is a chance to formally learn psychology, psychomotor and effective from a standardized institution.

Don't forget to let then know what you can do with the degree on coming back to nigeria. This is very key when they ask you what yh he degree will do for you? Do u want to continue as a teacher or child education policy advocate in the Ministry of education and want to build and run an early childhood school?

Please, don't tell them you knew about the school online. You may say one of the conference speakers your workplace organised on early childhood education was from the school. The speaker further spark your interest in the subject. You have been in touch with him since and you have been motivated to gain.more knowledge in this area.

Nb: I will not give detail answer to anyone like this anymore even if you pm me as I hv several pm in my mail right now. I can only give direction. I did this because the applicant seem to be too worried. I don't enjoy seeing worried peeps. Life is so short and sweet

Holudarey01:

ETSU admitted me for chemistry MS.
