VISA APPROVED THIS MORNING
It was just God's mercy only...Below is my transcript
me: good morning (with smiles)
Vo: good morning(she smiles right back) can I have your passport and your form i20
me: *passes it to her
Vo: what's your highest level of education
Me: National Diploma
Vo: you mean polytechnic
Me: yes
Vo: from when to when
Me: 2012-2014
Vo:When did you finish high school
Me: 2009
Vo: I noticed there's a few gap between your high school and your ND, what were u doing between those years
Me: was searching for admission and I also started working in a cafe to get more used to computers which is my passion from childhood
Vo: how many schools did you apply to
Me: 3 and I named them
Vo: is it just this school that has given you admission
Me: yes, for now
Vo: I can see you have an on housing scholarship how did you get that
Me: it's given to international students that merits it in the school, the school saw my high school results and felt I merit it
Vo: what does your dad do
Me: I told her
Vo: so what will you be doing with this degree when you get it
Me: I'll come back to Nigeria and *vo cuts in
Vo: and probably go for your masters if your parents can afford it right?
Me: yes, when the time comes
Vo: *types for some secs.. I'll be approving your visa, pick it up in this address in next 3 working days
Me: thank you

It was just God's grace and mercy, anyone that feels God is not involved in visa issuance is just... Well I've learnt to trust God over the years. Canada delayed me twice and with my Virgin passport and first time at the US embassy God gave me this visa. No documents was asked, not even the name of my school or why I chose it. All I can say is thank you Jesus and God bless everyone on this thread.

Hello House,

Here is the transcript.

VO: Passport and I 20 request
Me: Greeted and handed it over

Scanned my Barcode
VO: have u been to the US before
ME: Yes, I have travelled to the US twice

VO: whic other country have you visited aside US
Me: South Africa

VO: Why are you going to the US
ME: For My MBA at ****** University at NJ

VO: Are u married
ME: Yes, with a Son

VO: Where does your wife and son live
ME: they reside in Lagos with me

VO: Where is the school Located
ME: montclair, NJ

VO: What do you for work
ME: Product manager at bank *****

VO: Which other organisations have you worked
ME: Stated It

VO: what were your job functions at other organisation
ME: Stated them

VO: One of your previous employement was contract job
ME: Yes

VO: Tell me some of the courses you will be taking during your program
ME: I listed 8 courses

VO: How will you pay for your studies
ME: Mom is sponsoring and my personal savings

VO: What does she do
ME: She is a successful business woman, she is into Importation of Fabric and Jewellery

VO: How much is your monthly income
ME: 373k

VO: Why is your wife not coming with you
ME: My wife is not coming with me because of her job, she is a banker and currently focusing on growing her career. Besides, we dont see any reason why she should come with me since I have plans to be visiting Nigeria whenever the school is on break.

VO: Sorry your Visa is not approved.... Gave me 214b

My concerns: I noticed she asked me questions about where my spouse lives, although they visited US earlier this year and they are back since Feb 25th.

When I checked her i94 status there was no depature date on her form. Could it be the VO is doubting if they are still in the US?

Your contribution would be highly appreciated.

I don't think it has anything to do with her departure. Please see what 214b is in the quote below.
"What does a visa denial under INA section 214(b) mean?

This law applies only to nonimmigrant visa categories. If you are refused a visa under section 214(b), it means that you:

Did not sufficiently demonstrate to the consular officer that you qualify for the nonimmigrant visa category you applied for; and/or
Did not overcome the presumption of immigrant intent, required by law, by sufficiently demonstrating that you have strong ties to your home country that will compel you to leave the United States at the end of your temporary stay. (H-1B and L visa applicants, along with their spouse and any minor children, are excluded from this requirement.)
What are considered strong ties to my home country?

Ties are the various aspects of your life that bind you to your home country. Strong ties vary from country to country, city to city, and person to person, but examples include:

Your job;
Your home; and/or
Your relationships with family and friends.
While conducting visa interviews, consular officers look at each application individually and consider the applicant's circumstances, travel plans, financial resources, and ties outside of the United States that will ensure the applicant’s departure after a temporary visit.

Is a refusal under section 214(b) permanent?

No. A refusal, or ineligibility, under section 214(b) is for that specific application, so once a case is closed, the consular section cannot take any further action. There is no appeal process. If you feel there is additional information that should be considered related to the visa decision, or there are significant changes in your circumstances since your last application, you may reapply for a visa. To reapply, you must complete a new application form, pay the application fee, and schedule an appointment for a new interview. Review the website of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you plan to reapply to learn about any reapplication procedures."

I'm a very genuine student o. i even intend switching to a course in the IT sector[b] but he insisted that if i really want to get a job immediately i graduate then i should switch to nursing[/b],warriboy also mentioned something like this in this thread that's the major reason I want to switch to nursing because I want to stay behind after i graduate from any program in the US.

A good reason you shouldn't listen to hearsays..I would stick to EE if I were you. If you are a permanent resident or US citizen, you can go for Nursing or whatever course you want. You have lots of post-graduation opportunities with your MS in EE.

From my own point of view....its possible that when the VO looked up your wife 194, like you said there was no departure date, i would conclude that your wife was still in US. maybe thats why the VO asked why your wife not coming with you. Like a nairalander said earlier on, fix the I94 stuff and apply again.....

I have been a silent follower of this thread for about a year now and want to say thank you to everyone that has kept the thread active. You guys are doing a great job. My visa was approved this morning in Abuja.

Me: Good Morning
VO: good morning, pass me your passport (I hand it over and he scanned it)

VO: Let me have your I-20 (did as requested and he took time to examine it)

VO: Tell me more about this program at Kansas State
Me: I am going for a Phd in Computer science and will be working as a research assistant for Prof Bleep and we will be working on research YYYYY

VO: Okay, why Kansas State
Me: I wanted a school with high research pedigree and KSU's research activity is rated R1 by Canergie classification of higher institution.

VO: Have you travelled before.
Me: No, never had reasons to

VO: what is your highest qualification
Me: I have a Msc in Computer Science

VO: Your Visa has been approved (returned I-20 and handed me the white paper) this form tells you how to pick up your passport (handed me another paper) and this describes how you enter the United State as a student. Congrats and enjoy your stay in the US.


PS: Information is power and will like prospective students to put in the time and effort into preparing/writing tests, searching for schools, writing statements etc. The process might look long but it's worth it.
