@Mystiqme: So I have been on this thread since 2010 and I have been following up throughout my GRE and TOEFL process, through my application process and through my spring rejects but I finally had my interview last Friday and this is how it went down.
It was pretty short (about 3 mins) as I told God I wanted the previous day and out of my over 20 documents, only 2 were requested by the VO.
I was at the Lagos embassy and about 4 VOs were interviewing:the African-American on Counter 1,one white guy on 2,one elderly guy on 3, and one other guy on the last counter.
The guy on C2 refused all the women that came for visiting(Did he think they were pregnant undecided). Anyway my token number was 174 and when i saw 173 on C2, I don dey fear but I don dey prepare my mind for a difficult interview even though I was sure I would make it.Suddenly C1 flashed 174 and I walked up to him on jelly legs. It seemed I had forgotten everything I had rehearsed. Anyway....
The Interview
Me: Good morning
VO: Pass your documents, please.
Me: I passed them. He scrutinized them and at the same time was looking at my face. Maybe he dey look this small boi wey dey go do PhD. huh
VO: Did you take the GRE?
Me: Yes I took it (I passed him my scores).
VO: Do you have your transcript?
Me: Yes, I do. I pass am.
VO: Looked at my transcript and asked 'What is ecology?' I guess this question came up because I studied Botany and I am going for a PhD in Ecology.
Me: I don already dey blow answer afterall na my turf na, but he stopped me and asked:
VO: What is the difference between Botany and Ecology?
Me: Botany is basically the study of plants while Ecology is the study of plants in their environment..both biotic and abiotic. Short like that, I no sabi talk too much wink
VO: So what will this degree do for you?
Me: Well, I already work here as a ...... so it will enable me get promoted more rapidly in my place of work.
As I was answering the last question He was already tearing the green ticket.
VO: Alright, I am granting you your Visa, go and collect it on Wednesday at Ikeja.
Me: In a small voice..thank you. I was trying to hide a smile but I was not successful. grin
All the best guys, I will try to be available to answer any questions. Cheers!

I must say a big congrats to you, Mystiq wink. I just graduated from college recently, this month actually, and i plan to do my masters immediately in the same engineering next year in America. Would the fact that I dont have a job already or I dont have strong ties to my home country affect me during my interview process? Please what other evidence of home ties can I present? Would evidence of a plot of land serve as to that purpose please? Any suggestions?

Hello Misty,

When you say you passed the documents, what documents are you referring to? I suppose the following:
- International Passport
- DS-160
- SEVIS Payment Receipt
- MSV Payment Receipt
- Passport photographs
- I-20

Please let me know what other documents qualify for the documents to pass on to them when they ask for it.

Cheers.

Dear all,

I know this myt sound negative but am going to give this advice anyway. . .
All these "I just finished Uni, I wanna go do my masters next year in USA, how do I achieve this?" Makes it sound as if you are desperate to escape (sorry to say). . .
First do your nysc (during my interview I was asked if I had done this). . .

Secondly, gain some working experience b4 you go for your masters. . . It makes you employable when u get ur degree . . . Most employees look down on Masters holders with no work experience cos you can't be employed as a graduate trainee but fact is u still need to be trained. . . So don't rush out yet, don't be desperate. . .

Probably this myt be why some of u r rejected but u won't be told so. . .

Yes there are exceptions but most of u wud be rejected (sad truth)

Please House, which US embassy has more rejects, Abuja or Lagos? Which one is more advisable to go to for a successful student visa interview process?
Also, does the fact that one had applied for the US visa lottery before and later went for the student visa interview mar one's chances of getting the visa? In other words will the visa lottery record reflect on their system once your name is keyed in during the student visa interview process?
