Like I said earlier, visa was approved today in Lagos. 11am appointment

Since I booked the appointment on the 20th of April, I have not been able to sleep well. The interview was all I could think of, so I prepared using part 7 transcript and pages (1-200 and 251 to the end). I fasted and prayed for 2 days too.

I couldn't even sleep well this morning. Woke up around 4am.

I got to the embassy around 9:20 and immediately joined the queue. During the verification process (before entering the thumb printing and interview room), the guy in front of me was sent back to reapply because his confirmation number on the DS-160 he brought didn't match what they had in his appointment. So people whatever you do, if you must edit your DS-160 after submitting and a new confirmation code is generated just re-schedule your interview with the new confirmation code to avoid unnecessary gobe!

After the security checks, we were directed to the mighty hall. I must commend people on this thread. ha! you guys have done such a good job that nothing was left to my imagination. Everything was exactly as described. I felt like I had been there before, which really helped my anxiety and nervousness. After moving the queue, it got to my turn, but before then the family of 4 that was interviewed before me were denied, so were the two females that flanked them on the left and right. I kept singing different songs in my head as it helped fade out the environment and ease tension too. I don't even remember the window number I was interviewed sef but the lady had deep blue eyes and wore a straight face.

ME: Good morning *with a genuine smile* *then passed my documents (Passport, SEVIS and I20)*

VO: Good morning, tell me about your plans *she looks at my I20 for like 3 seconds and dropped it and didnt touch it till she returned it to me**she then types for some seconds*

ME: I plan to travel to the University of Bleep for my masters degree in Technology Management. After which I will return to Nigeria and use my skill set in assessing the various sectors for shortcomings and improving on them.

VO: Who will be paying for the program?

ME: Ma mere, she is a bleep bleep bleep

VO: *types for a bit*

VO: Have your I20. Your visa has been approved, you will be needing this to pick up your passport

Shikena!

Regarding GRE you can use your Naira master card and accept whatever rate they use, if you have a domiciliary even better.

Just be careful with whom helps you with this because if the payment bounces back, they can seize your result.

you can actually use money order or paypal,during when I want to reschedule my SAT date I used master card for the payment, but I called the college board and they verified somethings before I was allowed to use master card.

I think using PayPal is more easier and faster, you just have to create an account and make the payment with master card. Don't really know much about GRE cos I'm going for undergraduate program

Mine took 3 weeks but then, I did some leg work. It usually takes Considerable time b4 ur application gets to the department from the graduate. In my case, I sent all my docs including a proof of payment of the application fee to the department's office manager who quickly packaged my file to d Ad Com. As someone stated, schools are in their exam period n maybe they haven't had time to sit. But then, summer is here already n u she hv heard from them. Try n contact them, n just in case they say summer is too late; tell em to give u consideration for fall.
hello... would love to av a chat with u... same department also

It might be system issue or upgrading if truly everything seems to be fine as you were told by the customer care service of DHS/SEVP

Did the person pay via Western union or Money order/checks ?

You can visit fmjfee.com, fill in the information required and generate a coupon number. Then send the coupon number or the coupon itself alongside your scanned i20 and cash boss.

Thanks cutemorgan.
I did that just now. Very straightforward.

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Sjvictor21: 10:16am On May 05, 2016
I am a final year medical student studying outside Nigeria. I took the GRE in February and got a score of 288. Q- 144, V- 141, AWA- 3.0. Pretty low, I know. I wasn't really prepared for the exam, I took it after 1 month of preparation with magoosh. The problem here is that I don't think I can retake the exam any time soon this year because I have alot of other exams to take such as my final medical school exams, Nigeria's medical liscening exam, Toefl, Ielts and USMLE. The rest of this year is pretty booked for me.

My plan after medical school is to go for my masters in health administration or public health, before I begin my residency in medicine. Please can anyone recommend any school that I can apply to with such GRE score? My total GPA after graduation should be around 4.8/5.0.
And also, with this stats of mine do you think I would be able to get admission?

Thanking you in advance for all your assistance and kind contributions.

seems you're new on this thread.
1) VO wants to know what you've been doing since 2008.
2) I think you should look for a better reason for applying to that college.
Go prepare yourself and destroy the VO.
