Gtbank claims, it has nothing to do with them as only the US embassy decides on what exchange rate they want to use they follow

Yes, i have really learnT Alot from this thread and it encouraged me to do everything by myself without using any agent.

I got my i20 and admission letter sent from the school to a friends address in newyork and he helped me to send it down here to Nigeria. I filled out my ds-160 and did all necessary things myself. Though my friend helped me to pay the sevis fee over there and I paid him the equivalent in Naira.

Note:
Age: 28
i finished high school 2005.
Finished OND 2009 (civil. Engineering)
BSC from KAMPALA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY UGANDA. (Information Technology) 2016

Was admitted to the CC in Michigan (computer science )

I just want others to learn from this regardless of whatever age they are and also the Most important thing is to be PRAYERFUL AND BE PREPARED.

At first i was denied at abuja and my Transcript goes thus.

VO: good morning
Me: good morning.
VO: why are you going to the us
Me: i am going to the US to study at ******cc so that i can have more technical expertise in my field which is going to help me after my course to be able to secure a good job back home here in Nigeria
VO: what is your highest qualification
Me: bsc in information technology from KIU uganda
VO: (cuts in) why are you going for an associate degree since u have bsc already.
Me: yes i am going for the degree because i really want to have more technical knowledge than what I have been thought. ( i knew i messed up there).
VO: are u trying to tell me you were not taught any practical during your years at school. AM SORRY YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO GET THIS VISA. hands over the blue paper and retured my things.

I left, not so disappointed and the only thoughts in my head was what to do next. I left abuja the following morning back to lagos and reapplied 2 days after. Had to pay the visa fees again but my sevis payment was still valid and i could still use it. I filled the form myself again and didnt change anything. Because i dont want to lie about anything so that this doesnt affect my application.
I booked an appointment for the following week in lagos 6:30 am.

Got to the embassy around 5:30am and waited till the whole process started. This time around i was feeling more confident and not nervous like the first time. When i got in i was the fifth on queue but i got scared and prayed in my mind that I want to be interviewed by the person that would definitely approved my visa. So i had to excuse myself to use the toilet and joined the queue from behind because i believe i was still a little bit shaky so i needed more time.

My transcript in lagos embassy goes thus.

Vo: good morning (with all smiles on her face)
Me: good morning

Vo: pass me your passport and i20 and asked why are you going to this school.
Me: i am going to *****cc because it is a school with a well structured curriculum which has a good student ratio and according to what i have heard about this school it is really a good school which definitely suits what i have been looking for.

Vo: did u apply to other schools.
Me: no i didnt

Vo: why
Me: this school was recommended to my mom by my uncle who has been in the us for over 10 years and more also 2 of his sons went to this school.

Vo: where does your uncle lives now.
Me: he lives in michigan but presently right now he is home here in nigeria.

Vo: what about his sons. Where are they presently.
Me: they are done with their prospective courses and they are back home, working in a good company and doing well. I still saw them 2 weeks ago and they reminded me of how good the school is.

Vo: who is funding your trip and expenses
Me: my mom.

Vo: what does she do.
Me: she is a retired principal laboratory scientist from one of the government hospital but now has her own pharmaceutical store she is managing.

Vo: what have u been doing since u finished high school.
Me: i have been working for my mom in her store and i also managed to get my bsc

Vo: what will this course do for you on completing it.
Me: its really going to help me gain more technical expertise in my field and more also the us is a big market where we have the best companies in the technical field like IBM, DELL, LINUX and also it is a place where all the best student in the whole world converges and share their knowledge with each other. So this is really going to help me have more international relations as well and i believe all this will really help me to get a good job back home here in nigeria.

Vo: what courses would you be taking
Me: java, c+, basic programming, linux

Vo: cuts in. Am approving your visa. Pick it up at the circled location in the next 3 bussiness days. Do not forget. You will need your i20 at your point of entry.
Me: thank you. Packed my things and left. Was not even interested in any other things she was saying anymore.

Was just smiling while walking out.
I was so happy, at least. No agent helped me.
I just want others to learn that with a cc you can still get a visa even though the chances are very slim. But the main key point is just to be prayerful and let the Almighty God lead you.

$51,000 for 9months makes a total of around $204,000 for 4years , he wanted me to convince him why I would spend so much money on an undergraduate program me within 10seconds, well!

Were you really prepared to pay that much? assuming you had gotten the visa

Congrats bro. Wishing you all the best in your new journey.

House, I'm wondering why would VO ask how you'll be paying for studies even tho they can see on their system (sevis ID) that one got full funding. Can anyone decipher why they still pop out that question?
I believe/think they have access to see scholarship/funding once your sevis ID has been slotted into their computer during interview

Does your funding cover your living expenses? What if you lost the funding at some point? Those are few reasons they might ask

There other cost that the scholarship doesnt cover... such as flight and many others so its a very needed question . And also VO checking you are sure you know what you were offered grin

I am 25 will be 26 August.

Me - good morning
Vo- pass me your 1-20
me - OK
VO- how did you know about DSU
Me- through friends , then further research on the internet and I have been in communication with Amy in the international student office.
Vo- who is your sponsor ?n
Me - my mother
Vo - why are your surnames different ?
Me-my parents are not together so I bear my father's name
Vo- pass me your acct statement
me - I passed it
Vo-what does she do ?
me - she lectures
Vo - why is there so much money within a short time
me - I kept quiet and now said that is not all she does
Vo - sorry I can't offer you a visa and gave me the yellow paper.

please help me highlight my mistakes because I deferred the admission to August resumption and possible advice thank you.

This is a confidence boaster for those applying through community college. One just need to go straight to the point on the importance of the course to a person. And above all grace and favour of God matters most. God can do what seems impossible. Congrats

Brotherman, as far as USA is concerned, you are stuck with 1989 as your date of birth. You can only hope your WAEC result is not requested for during your next interview and even if you manage to escape that, won't your school request to see your WAEC result? What date will you be filling on your school applications?

If anyone says God doesn't answer prayer, that person is a dead person and a big fool.. In fact, it's God that giveth not by anybody's might and power at all. My own grace and favour are very different today ooo! This my God is really Amazing I swear, He does things beyond imagination at times ooO..
It started this way: I got to the us embassy around exactly 5:00am, I was the first person to got there before I knew it people were plenty before 5:30am.. We waited outside and rain was dropping a bit and we had no choice, we need to stay there because of these police that carried gun like say they wan go fight Biafra war lol! I just summoned courage to go meet one police man there but to my surprise God's favour just caught up with the guy and he fell in love with me, we started talking and discussing. in fact he was even giving me a words of encouragement oo, the guy finally took me out from everyone inside the rain and said I should come to stay with him,where he was standing.. People were jealous but me I no send ooo, I just bone as per say my baba God don start the work..
We were called to lined up exactly 6am and I am the first person this police guy took to be at the front ooo.. We went for the rigorous screening like say we be Boko haram, we wan bomb the whole embassy.. Anyway, I got in to the main Hall, I was the first person as a non immigrant to do the biometric, fingerprint and the rest.. I was the first to queued for the main interview, only one window 7 just opened with an handsome fine dude in his early 30s..
This is how our conversation went oo:

Me.. For my masters programme in communication studies..
VO.. Why did u choose the school?
Me.. I choose the school because it holds NGO status with the UN at the department of public information and it's also part of UN academic impact initiative and I am inspired by the ongoing research at the department on the title the use of Social Medial as a means of dissemination on Nation Security system, using Africa as a case study which is anchored by professor Raphl Faro... I really wanna be in this research work because this research work will help me to the fight again insurgency in Nigeria when I return back from my program..
VO: He said Hmm Good.. How many schools did u apply for?
Me: I applied for 3schools sir..
VO: Name them please..
Me: Southern illinios university, University of Roche Island and Rochester Institute of Technology..
VO: Good.. Why this school, as in Why did u choose this particular school among them??

VO cut in
VO: Did u write GRE??
Me: I have prepared to write GRE but the school said it's not a requirement that my admission will be based on my academic merit and statement of purpose..
VO: What's are u doing at punch newspaper right now??
Me: I said, I am a reporter and I am attached as part of the crew that reports Oyo state governor's daily activities..
VO: Nodding his head and said ok.. How do u want to fund this programme because I can see it's very expensive?
Me: Before he landed, I quickly said my uncle will surely do that, he has been the one paying for my education right for my high school days, throughout the university and he's also responsible for this.. Before I finish Before I finish talking I just see the guy dragged my passport to one side and bring out white paper and said the golden word, enjoy your stay in the US my man.. Everybody focused on my interview and they were like Wow! Congratulations ooo bro! God please do my own too oooo lol! I just dey bounce out comot to the exit like the boss wey don carry God's grace enter oooO!!
Na so everything went ooo.. It can only be God oooo!! Although, I was so so confident ooo, I didn't fear anything at all all.. It just be like I have been there so many times ni but na lie ooo this is my first time to the US Embassy ooo.. God is good gaan ni oo.. Although, I have UAE 2years Employment residency visa on my passport and also Kenya visa too.. I was not asked any financial document nor what my sponsor does for living..

Wish the up going applicant the best on their own interview too oooO! God will make it successful for u guys..

Someone advice plz....cc justwise lagosismyhome texrem imperiouxx et al

Your username is strange. ... why will you use Canadian PM as your username

Anyway technically there is no law against this so you should be fine....usually if you cant do both there would have been something either on US embassy or Canadian embassy will states if you applied for one you cannot do the other. Since there is no such statement then there nothing wrong exploring the different options out there

Dear all,

thank you for making this thread alive and active.

I salute you all.

I have been accepted for Fall 2017 at tennessee State University. please, is there anyone here who is currently at TSU or someone you know that could help put me through/answer some few questions I have.

God's blessing be on us all now and forever and I expect your urgent response.

Amen

How far? Have you gotten your I-20? I was offered admission to ETSU. Still working on getting my I-20. Kindly let me know how far you've gone with yours.

Were you really prepared to pay that much? assuming you had gotten the visa

Yes I was fully prepared if I got the visa, the school offers on campus job to international students and there's a payment plan which my sponsorer already talked to the school about how he can handle it. Which was why I got the admission .

I am 25 will be 26 August.

Me - good morning
Vo- pass me your 1-20
me - OK
VO- how did you know about DSU
Me- through friends , then further research on the internet and I have been in communication with Amy in the international student office.
Vo- who is your sponsor ?n
Me - my mother
Vo - why are your surnames different ?
Me-my parents are not together so I bear my father's name
Vo- pass me your acct statement
me - I passed it
Vo-what does she do ?
me - she lectures
Vo - why is there so much money within a short time
[s]me - I kept quiet and now said that is not all she does[/s]
Vo - sorry I can't offer you a visa and gave me the yellow paper.
