Observant:
Wow i really don’t know how to feel right now.

Here is my story, I applied to study in Canada late 2014, my application was refused for insufficient funds for tuition and living expenses even though I paid first semester of my tuition (7000) and my sponsor had over 25M in her account
I reapplied again but it was refused for insufficient funds for tuition and personal assets, I realized the embassy wanted to see my own fund so Included my fixed deposits, my own statements and stock portfolio, paid off the entire tuition of 27,500 and applied the third time but the embassy did a full 180 reverse and refused my application for "your purpose of visit and length of stay". I was very sad and infuriated that the visa officers there are just playing games with me.
I so much wanted to study in Canada as my older brother and friends are all there but i knew it was time to look elsewhere for my graduate studies.
I was going to apply to Australia, which was my second option, but my entire family discouraged me and gave me zero moral support. They said Australia is far and out of the way so they won't be able to visit. They suggested applying to US.
Well i have always seen US as the big brother to Canada, so if Canada could do that to me i didn’t expect to stand a chance with the US.
I decided to process both countries Australia and US simultaneously; i contracted a renowned education agency that frustrated my life for months all in the name of processing my application. I have had to postpone my admission more than twice and last week after much quarrel, i received my i20 from them. i asked them when my application would be finished off, they said I should print another statement and they provided a list of another fresh documents different from the ones i already gave them.
I decided to conclude my application myself and ignore them.
I reviewed my ds-160 form, booked an appointment for today and submitted it.
As early as 6:50, i received an email from the school i applied to in Australia; it was an admission offer from the CQU Australia. (Of all mornings na this morning wey i dey go interview wey una go send am? well i took it as sign of better things to come).
I took a shower, ate better rice and plantain, went over my documents and left home around 11:30 for my interview schedule for 2:15.
I went through all the security process, when i got into the interview hall, o boy i was dazed to see people being interviewed openly. My moral dropped to -100%, my legs could not carry me any longer.
I am naturally a shy and introverted person so being interview openly was the least i expected.
One guy was being serious investigated, I’m not sure what the guy did but his passport was taken inside and he was left standing at the booth for over 15mins.

Well here goes the transcript

Me: Good day Sir
VO: Good Afternoon.
VO: Who is XXXXXX?
Me: XXXXXXX is my oldest sibling
VO: Why did you choose SNHU
ME: (With so much studding and choking) The Program MS Information Technology at SNHU lay emphasis on bridging the gap between communication, technology and business solution. It has three majors, Network security, Database management and Web design. I am interested in the Network security Major. (Trust me this didn't come out as you have read it, i could barely understand myself while i was saying it)

VO: Which Other school did you apply to?
Me: I applied to Valparaiso and WKU Western Kentucky University
VO: What does XXXXXXX do for a living?
Me: XXXXXX is an assistant bank manager at YYYYYYbank
VO: What do you do?
ME: I work at BBBBBBBBBBhotel as an IT administrator.
VO: Where is BBBBBBBB LOCATED?
Me: Lekki phase one
VO: Do you have family in US
ME: NO
VO: Do you have relatives in US
ME: NO
VO: Do you have friends in US (by now he has dropped my passport in a tray beside him and brought out a white paper.)
Me: No, oh Yes i do (V.O pauses and holds back the white paper), i explained further " it’s a childhood friend who left when we were still in secondary school).
VO: In which state does he live?
Me: Texas (V.O give me the white paper)
VO: Your Visa has been approved pick up your passport in 3 days’ time.
Till now i am still dazed and in disbelieve, there was nothing spectacular about what i said adding to the fact that i choked severally while saying it. The VO was virtually not interested in what i had to say as he was looking at his computer screen and typing 90% of the interview duration.

Finally I will be giving up my Australian dream to embrace what the LORD has done.
I am not the most prayerful, sinless or holy, but what i happened to me today was clearly a divine intervention.
I called my mother to tell her and she is already crying saying
"So you are going to staying in that country alone" (She would have preferred Canada so I will be close to my brother)
I am the last child of my family, everyone’s favorite at home and i am very hard working too.
To everyone out there, i think there is a little bit of faith in everything we do, sometimes we can't fight faith.
Your faith may be somewhere else while you look in another, but must importantly don't give up.

Please house, i will be needing contact of anyone already in Southern New Hampshire University for further enquiries.
God bless you all and thank you for your contributions so far.

One love

When is ur interview?

Chengken:



I kent with Nigerians,
First of all this is inferiority complex, so you are planning to go overseas and make your accent better. Foh, you are about to spend thousands of $$$$ to change your accent. What in the world were you thinking, and which relative in their right senses will be willing to sponsor this Success in your exams

This is so funny at the same time, the truth. Actually he didn't mean to say it's about accent at the interview. He went without any purpose in mind. I guess he meant to say he wants to learn more about the use of English language.

Why do people have to jump on things they have no business with? I specifically mentioned Mevisbleek, what's the relevance of your comment? If I'd been one childish person, this would have escalated to another series of childish to and fro insults between us. I respect you on this thread, please reciprocate it. Minding one's business is free and comes with no extra burden. Thanks.

Please how save is the bank statement runs safe for Us embassy interview, i had its nt usually verified, please help Asap. thanks

CBP: hello.
Me : hello how you doing
CBP: what course are you studying
Me: engineering technology.

CBP: what kind of food stuffs do u have
Me: noodles, groundnut, dry pepper and some seasonings.
CBP: okay bye bye.
That was it. When I came out of the air port see the way does taxi guys were huzzling to carry me. When I heard there price ($140)I ran away. And went to take bus $17. Pls don't be in a rush only if necessary. You can find out how to take a cheaper route. And if you like u fit call über ......... Lol. If money dey.

Well I don't even know that you will take things personal like this but to me you over think on this. As for me I didn't see any harm in my post since we both have different ways that we can analyse things maybe that's why you over reacted.

Make you no vex and if you still dey vex, Abeg no vex just rest your mind and thought since what I imagine in my post is not the same as you imagine it.
