From SRA (Silent reader association) but fired PMs to experts for clarity .. Did the normal procedures before interview... Interview proper... Firstly, I would like to alarm this particular comment-- nairaland.com is good, but wouldn't teach you so certain things - soft skills. Easier to read comments but more importantly, practice, practice and practice.. Not by my own power too, na God o. Hallelujah � I must say my intension was to take charge of the conversation, which i was able to achieve. VO: Hello Sir, Good morning O26: (ahah, in my mind), Good morning, hope you had a fantastic weekend. V.O: he said nice things... (nice starting). So why are you going to the US? O26: I'm going to Lincoln University (LU) in CA for a 2-year Master's degree program in MBA with a concentration in Management Information System after which I will go back to my �� for a career advancement. V.O: you live in Europe (he mentioned the country) O26: Yes, i live and work there. If you noticed that i have also completed an M.Eng there. V.O: what do you do? O26: mentioned the company's name, a front-end programmer (software testing-- gave examples, fraud investigation and developing interactive GUIs) V.O: oh i can see you've a good profile, so why going for an MBA this, and not in this country, why �� .. Now here i completely pulled his attention.. He further asked, or is it because of CA is a hub for IT (Oh Bros, I noticed he tried to trap me there - -if i say "yes" penre, ah, na immigrant intent be that) O26: (took the questions one after the other): To put it in perspective, LU is a business oriented school that offers an affordable +custom fit education.. I would like to take advantage of the multidisciplinary research center(i learned this from their website, added my own stories too) that entertains the collaboration of business professionals + student from diverse IT backgrounds in providing solution to real world problem..I chose US because her schools are of prime recognition, and comprise of professors... (said something can't remember again :: soft skills). 3. (Not because of the IT hubs in the region.. brought him back, proving myself as a legit student). I remember i said something like "this program will groom me to become an IT business architect with an understanding of... Analyzing, defining and building information system requirements and guiding other on how to build their for various business situations... Was just talking and he was listening.. V. O: How many schools did you apply to? O26: 3 Lincoln University, Weber state university, Missouri State University V. O: who will sponsor this trip? O26: my mother, she's an orthopedist, essentially I'm gainfully employed as previously discussed and I've a liquid cash of * EUR. Your visa has been approved, pick it up... O26: (for my mind) Hey chairman, you collect all my passport - wetin happen V. O: you wan collect am now? O26: hmm, not really.. No documents checked, no questions about marriage.. Additional things he might have seen: my traveling experience (man don Waka for Europe o), USA B2 still valid.. been to US more than... Maybe these gave me an edge: Almighty God (Surely), my eloquence, my accent (amerikish.. Lol), confidence (worked with many of them before) and preparation... In spite of my nice profile, bros i prayed and prepared... Sorry to those refused visas today.. Please ask questions here.. I think there are no stupid questions. Pray and fire � back.. I was unhappy to see a guy refused visa today.. I think he used an agent, and his Mr agent arranged a fake I20 for him (tried multiple times, but all proved abortive).. I'm not here to mock anyone but please stay away from agents.. You can do it yourself..! @Theamerican, i encourage you not to stop guiding folk here, do as your mind pleases.. You rock ma'am.. Keep it up. Thanks to many gurus here... You guys are great. I'll inbox you back...Kudos to Scholarstica, theamerican, 4peace4, @akin3103,pianoguy, dollydolly, biikeys, jesusbabygirl(my sister from another mother), lyrondee and those that asked questions, i learnt a lot from all of you. Cheers.. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

Olusegun26: Please do not mislead the impressionable folks here. Your interview had nothing to do with Almighty God, prayer, confidence or your accent. You had a stellar resume - having lived, schooled and working in Europe (you most likely have legal status there - which is an excellent tie + travel history). Your resume is NOT representative of the majority of people here and should not be the basis on which they apply for their own visas. I understand your need to tell us the good news about your visa but there is very little many of them here can learn from your experience. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

TWood is a bossssss! I came back from United state march. I went on a J1 visa sponsored by the United States Department of States Bureau of Cultural Exchange. I didn't have the best of academic result. In fact my academic profile is very average but I was the only one selected in Nigeria. I was asked to take TOEFL and I scored 100. We spent a week at Washington court hotel in D.C I was consequently posted to bowling green state university for my professional and academic program. I am applying for fall2019 cos of the 2yrs compulsory two years home residency. We are just 81 people selected throughout the world. There is place for God in human life. Thank you 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Olusegun26: I'm doing exactly what you request I do. 99.9% of applicants here do NOT have EU residency. The biggest factor when applying for a non-immigrant US visa is that you will return home after your brief stay. Having EU residency is a huge factor indicating that you have a much lower incentive to remain in the US since you have a similar western nation to return to, along with a good educational resume and job. Yes you are what you are by God's grace... but the visa officer did not grant you a visa based on your daily bible reading. To mislead other people here is not fair. Be grateful for what you have and leave it at that. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Gbemmy120: I am almost sure you weren't delayed because of your Canadian application. Applying to more than one school is meant to be a good thing even if the 2nd wasn't in a US university. Maybe you didn't sound sure....maybe you were short on some other "stuff". Just don't let that trouble you....infact in your next interview, firmly acknowledge your 2017 admission (when asked), stating that visa was delayed.....and yes they see and know how many schools you have applied to especially if it's in Canada. Hope this helps |

TWoods: Woodman.. True. You rock!I'm not misleading anyone. I wrote my transcript. They should learn to filter which they want... The interview session has no format but at least you could predict it. I propose prayer and preparedness... Everything was personal... Keep the good work on. Just assist these people. They need you a lot. Maybe if you start sharing free quids i might need you too... Outta here sire for a minute. No love lost. 2 Likes 1 Share |
