teddyrain: Chapter 1
I want to use this medium to praise God almighty for this marvelous thing he has done for me. It is not enough to express my gratitude in words but just to praise him and serve him with all my life.


I could remember actually posting "Visa approved transcript coming soon" but guys, the truth is that as at then I have not actually gotten my visa, but claiming by faith.
My visa interview is the sweetest nairaland has ever read. I call it "Divine appointment"
I will never forget yesterday being sunday 20th july, 2014. As I approached into the church auditorium of the Redeemed church of God which I visited, not the church I go, the pastor said "there is a particular person here people have ridiculed you but God said I should tell you that tomorrow you will smile" I quickly stood up and shouted a thunderous Amen! Which made the whole church turn and was like WTF! But I knew what I was doing. I kept on professing faith, claiming I have gotten my visa.

Chapter 1
It was blissful this early morning at exactly 2:45am as I woke up, as I was scheduled for 6:30am. I have been claiming Gods promises and confessing I have my visa, while looking in the mirror as I dressed up in just a simple while shirt. My dad said "hey boy I know you aint a kid but I'm going to the embassy with you this time. They must give you that visa" I smiled and said its okay. And we left.

Chapter 2

We got to the embassy around 5:10am and saw some few people already there. I plugged in earphones into my ear and started playing cecee winans and then "fighting temptation" then frank edwards.
In no less time they started making announcements about immigrants and non immigrants, Amerinancy called me on phone and I asked her which school and to my awe, she was going to my school too in illinois. I then asked her where she was and she said on the way for 9am I wished her luck and I quickly gave my dad my phone and marched forward. I was the fourth person to be cleared, while others being novice were looking 4 stapler to pin their documents. As an experienced guy denied while hunting 4 a CC on the 14th of April this year, I knew all the procedures and I even removed my belt before even sitting down.
They came to the first row and picked five of us, including one indian guy applying for f1 from Nigeria.
We moved into the embassy proper and we got to the "remove belt etc" and because my belt was out already, I just dropped it together with my documents and moved over the search machine and sharply picked up my belt sharply and wore it back, while other guys were busy claiming fine boy wearing belt LoL!
I maneuvered the two guys before me and I became second to step into the consulate arena. I pressed the "A" button and picked No A002. Went in, submitted documents and also did bio-metrics, then sat down for interview proper, while other were coming in.
While waiting, I looked back and saw a lady carrying "Liberty admission packet" I then remembered that "Goldenchic" once asked a question and also posted a pre transcript stating it as one of the best christian school.
I then said excuse me miss, are you a nairalander? And she said yes. We exchanged pleasantries and she told me slimmy is one handsome slim boy and I told him to message him that "if I catch am eh" LMAO!
Just as we were speaking my number flashed on the screen. What I'm about to say in the next chapter, will put I you in awe. When God wants to give you favour even the consular or any gadget there will obey you.





Chapter 3
This is so sweet to be an interview
As my number popped up at window 5, I moved there and a young man in his mid thirties was there

VO: why do you want to go monmouth college?

Me: asides from being ranked as one of the best liberal art colleges by USnews and best in midwest by Princeton reviews, this college has one of the best accounting programs of any liberal art college...... VO Cuts in

Me: can I continue?

After I left there and I have been working in bleep ent Nig LtD to enhance my knowledge in business.

VO: oh! Good


The shake able miracle then happened.

Goldenchic can testify to this. I was then told to go and sit down while he verifies something (na lie him use that opportunity wey light trip off go chop. na hungry dey catch am and I catch am with a cup of coffee dey laugh with him colleagues)


Me: (my heart started shaking and I was like "so as network go off them go start all over interview me)

I was like person wey win jackpot. It was then I sighted Amerinancy sitting down waiting to be interviewed chai that babe tall come fine oh!

He was like "oboy I have been sent to give you visa no need for long talks"
