My interview happened on Monday 6.30am, but I have been busy reason for the delayed transcript. This forum thread has been fantastic and does 50% of the work needed for people to get their visa. The selfless service of gurus and members cannot be ignored. Sometimes their hard or straight talks often cause commotion , but its better they tell us the reality and what is possible than people chasing shadows . bbdd (he packaged and inspired me) and slimmy are often attacked for their straight talks, but these two guys were instrumental to getting my visa. Also, the tendency of people looking for the easiest way out of everything and not doing the necessary diligent home work are the major reasons for many denials. If advice given is followed and tailored to one’s application, then I see no reason why people can’t pick up their visas easily. The job of the VO is to look for reasons to deny people( VOs are doing their jobs), but our job is to not give the VO the chance, and block every loophole possible in our applications and during interviews by preparing for all possible questions. I believe the forum has helped immensely. The visa journey is not smooth, but achievable .

VO: morning
ME: morning
VO: what school are you heading to?
ME: University of Iowa
Vo: what program are you going for there?
Me: PhD in Health Informatics.
VO: How did you get to know about the school ?
ME: I did extensive research about schools offering PhD in Health informatics using professional websites like American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) , Health Informatics Forum and other search engines and streamlined programs in clinical informatics and health data analytics. This is in line with my research (…cut ) ( my advice every course has a professional website. Instead of people saying usnews, Princeton etc , that VOs keep hearing daily and I consider cliché. Mention the American professional websites of the course you want to study)
VO: why university of Iowa
Me: I have a Master’s degree in health informatics and the school is among the top schools offering training in the field of Health informatics. It has an excellent program in health data analytics.
VO: you have a masters degree?
Me: Yes I have a master’s degree in Health informatics from the University of Leeds
Vo : Health informatics and what’s that about?
Me: Health informatics is the use of information technology to leverage the delivery of health with the aim of improving the safety, quality and efficiency of heath service delivery..(cut)\
Vo: who is sponsoring you?
Me. The school is my sponsor. I am on full funding as stated on the i20. It covers.. tuition…(cut)
Vo : Do you have any other document that shows the breakdown of your scholarship other than i20.
Me: I gladly gave her my admission letter and I started smiling
She had no choice too , but also smiled with the good new

Congrats bro.
You deserve it.

These gurus in the house! Aha! You people are bless and rich. U are bless and rich in the sense that u can share part of what u have with people and still have more. Why are u doing this I asked mysef ? You are doing this only to help people both rich and poor to achieve their dreams. Many are happy reading these threads especially mysef. I keep wondering about what brought this forum, I highly salute u people, I give my respect. I started following nairaland like eight months ago and the advise giving here is priceless. Thanks to this forum,here comes my fear; I was given admission(fall 2015) for Chemistry(MSc) with 50% scholarship in one school in US. But I have to defer d admission(Spring 2016) due to the fact that my financial document wud not be ready on time. I deferred, a form was sent and I filled the form and mailed back to them. My fear is I have not heard from the school and I don't want the scholarship to be forfeited. I have mailed the school twice but no response. A friend told me I shouldn't bother that once it has been deferred, the scholarship award is intact. My question is many of u wud have passed thru these processes and I believe u cud help, kindly help me out to relief me of fear. Thanks, am really expecting your reply.

My fear is I have not heard from the school and I don't want the scholarship to be forfeited. I have mailed the school twice but no response. A friend told me I shouldn't bother that once it has been deferred, the scholarship award is intact. My question is many of u wud have passed thru these processes and I believe u cud help, kindly help me out to relief me of fear. Thanks, am really expecting your reply.

I guess the scholarship is still intact because it's base on academic merit. Please when you email them and get no response, then call them (worry them shocked) smiley

Hope it helps!!

Six siblings us citizens all resident as well.
In 2010, my final yr in uni i applied for for B1/B2 visa and i was denied on the grounds that i cannot make usa my first country of travel.
I relaxed and continued wit my studies, went for NYSC finished n started working.
2014 i traveled to Dubai, and in march 2015 i applied again for B2 visa and i was unfortunately denied on 214b grounds. (note i was already workin as a secretary - tie)

If the person actually got full funding, he won't be taking a chill. You are even the one asking question on his behalf.

Abeg how did he get that funding when he doesn't even know how to move his legs to Gtbank and pay damn fee. Pay sevis fee ASAP.

Person wey get head no get cap. The school wants him to come fast because he should start getting ready for the TA position.

Keep in mind that we don't reason in the same way.

The point is: the whole process went so fast that he was not expecting the outcome yesterday. Besides, he has just been asked officially to accept the offer today.

He's my sibling and I'm thinking, of which he has already told me, of helping him to gather meaningful "tips" from here. **He's not a Nairalander, but I'm a chronic Nairalander cheesy ** His misgiving as regards PRESSID makes him to take such step.

I'll very much appreciate your view.
