@Ferdimako,I made the same mistake when I wrote my Toefl on July 13th at First Logic- i spent longer than necessary on the reading part- but I did try my utmost to make up for the lost time though. I just checked my result now. I got 99 - not a bad score I hope. I am just trying to take it one step at a time........

Thanks a lot BigFrancis for the e-materials and priceless counsels, thanks Imperiouxxx for the invaluable advises, thanks everybody for bringing smiles to the faces of people. May God continue to grant your heart desires.

Kunsoft:
Thanks Lisdem.

On point Chinko Guy. Sense 50/50 chance already. he was the only guy on counter. the ladies are fair in giving. Pray like never before for my number to show on any lady's counter but Na Chinko Guy

Chinko: You are applying for the 4th
Me: Yes sir
Chinko: Hold on type ooooo Ok, You apply to university of Central Oklahoma
Me: Yes sir
Chinko: What will this degree do for you
Me: It will open doors of professional advancement for me and hands on management of real business project across multiple industries here in nigeria and i will gain better business management strategies and skills to perform effectively on a large scale when i return to nigeria.
Chinko: Ok, who is your sponsor
Me: My brother ( i dont want to change sponsor because of inconsistency)
Chinko: what those he do
Me: He runs industrial cleaning services company, He currently works for many established organization including Oyo state Government Nigeria.
Chinko: How much those he earn
Me: first talk say he is the owner of the business but he insist so i said between 500-600k.
Chinko: i will have to denied you again and note that if you keep applying on this note it may affect your chance of getting visa in future.
Me: LOBATAN! could please let me know the reason this time
Chinko: He insist that the paper will tell me the reason.
Me: Na so i waka begin to thank GOD.

i believe my case is Totally different from others here.
my Resume:
i'm a graduate of HND with 3.14 to scale of 4.0, i'm 30+ and i got admission for Undergraduate
1st Attempt Jan 3rd - did not prepare well ( i dont know this forum then)
2nd wrong guy and fake SEVIS Payment (fell into agent hand for SEVIS).
3rd Attempt (aware of the forum) was told by the VO one of the reason is insufficient fund.
4th attempt another wrong guy hand Chinko. it shows that is only GOD that can favour when VO guy interview guys

IS ALL GOOD. PLANNING TO WRITE GRE NOW. i have like 2 university in US now that take HND for Masters but wanna rest for like 2yrs first. probably switch to CANADA then come for my PHD. OBAMALAND Sure!

Thanks Guys

Seems the funds you have are still insufficient! 500-600k per month is not enough for a sponsor. What is the balance of the account statement you presented?

6m + He did not border to check it.

fadinus:
Bro are u sure its not the fake Sevis Payment you presented that has been causing your recent denials..the US Embassy has zero tolerance for fake documents n you MAY have been placed on a ban o.

My brother i went to Cotonou myself to pay the sevis before the 3rd time. and None of the VO ask me about it they only put a pink note on it SEVIS NO SHOW before the interview

Kunsoft:

Broda, to me,the VOs are still on the same account ish,sure 6m might cover ur tuition for a year,but VOs thinking about subsequent years,moreso the account has to finance undergraduate studies which is quite expensive n takes longer duration...

You have chosen to have your documents delivered to the following location:Ikeja - Lagos, No: 16, Billings Way, Ikeja, Lagos

I'm not sure about this. Because my school needed #3.3million as First year tuition and my sponsor had #3.9million as the balance on the bank statement and the VO took her time to check my bank statement very well and checked the exchange rate on her glass screen to know if the funds is sufficient enough for my studies and I still got my Visa with it even with though it was even still a company's Bank statement.

So I guess that is not the cause of is denial. It is something else.....

olarwarlay:

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really.... So quick... Mehn I'm soooo excited oooooo. I will be heading to apapa oshodi isolo expressway tomorrow to pick it up sharp sharp..

I can't wait to see US Visa for the first time mehn... Lol!!!

They have changed their location in ikeja, no longer ikeja again for pick up, it's now Apapa oshodi isolo express way.

Thanks bro....

Oh yeah,I feel u bro, but the transactions on the account also speaks so loud, Your sponsor may have 3.9 at that moment,but the VO looking at the previous transactions will be convinced that the account will generate more funds shortly,but in a situation whereby the transactions doesn't really show flow of enough cash it matters. The VO may be looking at it like they infliate the account with huge amount so as to get away. Also the sponsor is a salary earner,bro Kunsoft didn't state anywhere if he has any other bizness, so u can also imagine how long it takes to gather such amount n will he have to repeat the same proceedure yearly to finance his brother?

CONGRATULATION ON YOUR VISA AND WHAT EMBASSY IS THAT LAGOS OR ABUJA?

Yea.. I think you really have a point there.. Because the total credit on my sponsor's Bank statement is #10million naira.. And my sponsor made so much day to day transactions for 6 months on that bank statement because it was a 6 months bank statement..

And he was always saving money like almost every 2 to 3 days in that account.. So maybe the VO must have noticed the Transactions as been Legitimate..
