Wow. a few things:
how old are you?


the VO thinks that pharmacy and chemistry aren't closely linked. Here's how you could have responded:
"Yes, my college bachelor's degree was in pharmaco-chemistry" or some shit like that. Always know what the VO wants to hear and try as much as you can to give him that. That question is to show if what you studied, or currently do is linked to what you're going to study. Every question counts.

Also, seems you were already answering the 'what will you do after your studies' question, and the VO thinks you were trying to be disingenuous with your answers. Answer what is being asked, or closely. Don't answer unrelated questions, or at least answer the main questions without a doubt and see that the VO is nodding before moving on to your own agenda.


This question is to ascertain the economic status of your sponsor. You're supposed to use recognizable words like:
My sister, she and her husband (if she's married) are Cofounders of Bleep Company, a logistics tier-2 company based in Aba, with headquaters in X. Upsell your sponsor to improve your chances. $10k is not much money, this question was just the last straw.



"Yes, if you mean sponsoring part of my college education" shows that your sister has always been involved in sponsoring you in some way (especially if she's 10 years older) eg pocket money. If you answer Yes, then demonstrate that it has always been the little things, and this master's education is the apex of all when she'll finally stop sponsoring. Don't say all of this, of course, but you get the point. Say something that hints that your dear sister and her husband has been involved in your career progress.

the question isn't really a big deal and I can see why you immediately answered "No." which is equally a good answer but depends on what you follow with it. How would you even know if she has sponsored anybody before? Not sure if this question is really a thing. Maybe you should verify with your sister if she has, the visa officers might keep a record, who knows?


My advice is, you should try again soon. And prepare harder. Get every possible question and get the appropriate answers. Remember, it isn't about how truthful you can answer, it's about what they want to hear (truthful of course). If you have a deep Nigerian accent, then you want to keep your answers short, sweet, and to the point.

Get someone to look at your DS160 form, most disqualifications result from what is entered into that file. Usually, the VO makes up their mind before you even open your mouth. Make sure you have enough social and family ties back home. really important

hello, please how can I contact you ?

Obioramichael:


Please how can I outsource for funding via GTA?

STEM courses usually have funding, also writing GRE helps. Most importantly you need to carefully make research on schools that give funding for the courses you are interested in and target them, 2 to 3 schools is enough.

idirect:
Please I have a question. For POF of fund for I-20 request how many months statements do you submit

past 6 months

BigIyanga:

Yes.

thanks boss, you’re doing a good job on this platform.

Good morning all, I already have 74% funding via a GTA, is my sister a good sponsor for the remaining 26% ($9500) ?

BigIyanga:

If u narrow it down to your dept/major… is it still high?
Are you financially good to pay COA out of pocket?

I applied for funding, I am hopeful.

BigIyanga:

U gotta know your numbers… like faculty to student ration and graduation rate

student to faculty ratio in my school is actually highly 😂, but one point is that my school favors diversity

BigIyanga:

-The school is best suited for your program with hands-on teaching/learning approach.
- Your mentor/advisers are well versed and published in their field.
- Low student to faculty ratio
- High on-time graduation rate.
NB: make sure you're loaded or funded $$

Thank you 🙏🏿.

Guyys I applied to only one school, what’s the best answer if the VO asks why ?. The truth is the cost of application was too much at the time, I had to focus on one school.

Good afternoon everyone, for WES icap evaluation with my school (UNILAG) send my transcript to WES via courier or electronically ?

ahmedgafar7:
I’ll be there before 8am on Tuesday, I’ll give you guys feedback.

Turns out my contact was right, there is something called PNA that is produce not activated. It’s been done but yet to be activated. I was told to come back after Christmas same as another September guy.

Justbesure:


Your contact is playing fast one on you maybe to get more money from you or there might be unresolved issue between you and him and as such polling out your file from production just to get at you as it happened to me in Gwagwalada immigration office. The best option for you now is to go there yourself to pickup your passport and if it is not ready ask questions to what must have happened. You be shock on what you Will found out than relying on your contact. My personal experience though

my contacts friend even said she’s the only one that can collect my passport for me…lol

aieromon:


100% Lamba. Your booklet is activated at the point of collection.

If you really needed the passport this month, you should have visited the passport office to ascertain the status in person.

I’ll be there before 8am on Tuesday, I’ll give you guys feedback.

SunnyJose:


Personal experience... I captured in August.
My contact has been given me all manners of lies. He even told me my file is loss. Long story short. I went to collect my passport on Thursday 15th Dec. I got to collection centers 8.20am. I'm the 2nd person. I left the place with my passport around 8.40am.
Passport production date was 21st of September. Just 5 weeks after capturing.
NOW you understand.

ahh lol I’ve been sleeping, thank you.

kelmicheal:


Don't hope on online tracker go and check for your passport

I will, thank you.

SunnyJose:


If you need your passport, go to collection center in Festact. Go early 7.30am to 8.am. Be the 1st person at the collection room. Present your Enrolment number.
Am very sure your passport is ready. In case of other issues. Proceed to passport Control Officer (PCO) office.
If you rely on your contact. He will keep feeding you with different lies. There is nothing like YET TO BE ACTIVATED. Forget about online tracker or notification.

I will be there early on Tuesday as you said, you really sound like you know what you are saying. How do you know this if I may ask ?

kelmicheal:


They recently completed late September they are in October now

Good evening, I captured in Festac September 19th, but My contact is telling me the passport is yet to be activated and the online tracker says passport is still in production, what can I do ? I really need the passport this December.
