jamesflaw:
Good day guys, thanks to everyone who's been helping me its just one more question I have concerning my DS-160

I was asked if I have attended any secondary education and the date of start and end of attendance. Currently I'm in secondary school and be graduating in July . I have put in the date I began attending the school but I tried putting in July as the date I would finish and it told me I can't put a future date or today which means I can't put July as the date I would finish attending. Now please what do I do? Do I put no that I have not attended any previous secondary education since I'm still in secondary school......or should I put the highest date possible which is 25th yesterday (hoping to show I'm still in attendance)


Please guys response needed ASAP

Thanks for ur responses

If truly you are graduating Secondary School in July, then I presume that you must have been through with your WAEC exams and about to write your NECO. You can put the date you wrote your last paper in WAEC. That should work.

Visa Success Story US Consulate Lagos (Interview with the Black American Lady Window 4 on 26th May 2015 6:30am)

So finally today my US visa was approved. Thanks be to God and all the Gurus in the house for their wonderful support most especially bbdd. Here is my story and transcript. I arrived the consulate as early as 5:28 am and to my surprise I met a very long queue. After all the screening we finally reached the judgement centre. While I was on the queue I was paying close attention to all the questions of the VO's and the reply of those being interviewed. I am so grateful I came to this forum before the interview. Window 4 with the black american lady is the window of visa denial. The first four people the lady interviewed were all denied. I made a quick count of the people on the row and I discovered that I might fall under window 4. After the first four denial, the black american lady finally approved the next two student visas. At this point, I became relaxed and my mind was deep in prayer. I noticed that the two students that got their visas before me have previously travelled to the US and they studied in the UK may be for masters. Now, it is my turn my calculation was wrong the next available window is window 3 and I was about to proceed when suddenly the staff from CGI stopped me and he told me I should allow one of the aged women sitting to be interviewed. Window 4 is now free and I am about to face the black american lady

VO: Hello
Me: Good Morning
VO: Can I have your documents please?
Me: I passed it to her
VO: Okay so you are going to Rice University for a PhD
Me: Yes
VO: How did you hear about Rice University?
Me: I met Professor D.B. from Rice University during my masters degree in the UK. He came for a visiting fellowship and I
communicated with him about my interest in working under his supervision for my PhD and he advised me to apply after my masters.
VO: So are you going to Rice because of the Professor?
Me: The Professor is actually the main driving force for my selection of Rice. I have co-authored two academic papers with him and I see him
as a perfect fit for the success of my research at the graduate school
VO: When did you finish your masters?
Me: 2013
VO: In what field was your masters?
Me: Politics and International Relations
VO: So how related is a PhD in Religion with Politics and International Relations?
Me: My PhD research is targeted towards understanding the intersection of religion and international relations and how religion specifically
shape events in the international system. I am particularly interested in uncovering how religious identities in the Middle East and North
Africa shape the evolution of religious ideologies in Northern Nigeria.
VO: So how many schools did you apply?
Me: Three schools
VO: Name them?
Me: Rice University, Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison
VO: So why are you so interested in Rice?
Me: I am more interested in Rice because the university offers support for teaching assistanship and summer language program which are both
important for the PhD training in my field.
VO: So who is funding you for the program?
Me: I am on a full scholarship. I was awarded a full tuition waiver and an annual stipend of $21,000
VO: Okay, you can pick up your visa at the collection centre I circled on this form in three days time. Congrats and best of luck
Me: Thank you

The VO did not ask for any documents. I am so grateful to God for the confidence he bestowed upon me. I came out of the embassy and I hurriedly hugged my mother and straight off we drove home in jubilation. I believe it is important to demonstrate full preparedness for what you intend to study to the VO in order to be able to convince them Best of luck

Hey!!!
Congrats bro
Students on funding get visa to America fast without any excess documentation or questions. America wants the best of the best in their country. Brain drain if you may call it. Lol
Truth be told, students on funding also have confidence and are actually brilliant.

Congrats my friend. This is just the beginning.

Ps. THANK GOD YOU TOLD THE VO YOU APPLIED TO 3 SCHOOLS. SHARP MAN

Baba your quant score is kinda low for the physical sciences.
You could retake to get a better chance of funding. But if you don't want to retake. Check usnews for schools in your field

Long time,you just abandon the thread hope you are good.

The only problem is that i/we lost a member on this US student visa section and his moniker is Gr8ever.

Although some of the present people here might not know about this moniker Gr8ever, Am sad to post that Opeyemi Fashola aka Gr8ever is dead.

He died last week, When i checked the almanac is exactly one year or one year and one day he got his student visa. How i wish you are still alive to fulfill your destiny and the plans we discussed that night a week before your death

Opeyemi Fashola aka Gr8ever your death is very painful to me/us because you never wait to experience the American dream, Anyway i still can't believe you have gone so soon..... You will always be in my/our heart..... I wish you are still here with me/us..... I/we love you but God loves you more ..

May your soul rest in perfect peace..

RIP Opeyemi Fashola aka Gr8ever
