phuck_NL:

If you ever want to step into yankee, please don't go back at the end of the month. Your school is resuming August 31st abi? Book your appointment for August. There is no way your info/status could have changed in one month. Them go just deny you again. They will assume you are desperate. They will only chop your free money. I bet the person that interviewed you was a trainee. Probably why he/she was confirming details from a supervising officer.
Go back in August and make sure you go with exactly what you had this time around cos they have all your info.

they will be sensible enof to understand that the toefl was waived simply because u r a nigerian who's been speaking english since u were born.unless u prove otherwise,dnt be scared ok?

I have some questions about TOEFL and GMAT here, and my questions are as follows.

Question (1) Does the Consular really care about your TOEFL and GMAT scores? Does your high score widen your chance of getting the visa? Does your low score narrow your chance even if you have great documents with high confidence in yourself?

This is another case, which has its own question. My school waived the GMAT for me. In my admission letter, it was stated that I was admitted based on my past achievements and my strong GPA. I also had the TOEFL waiver based on the same ground. However, some friends are advising me that regardless of the waivers from my school, I should take at least one among the standardized test (TOEFL or GMAT) for the sake of visa interview.

My questions as regards that is this;

Question (2) As a graduate student, which one would you advise I take, since I am only considering ONE for the interview? I don't need it for my admission because I have been admitted already. TOEFL or GMAT?

Femilangy, you have answered this question before through our private conversation and I agree with you. I throw this question open here because I have started seeing some people in my shoes. I guess they can also learn from the comments of pros like you guys

GMAT
pls GMAT is ur only choice cos irrespective of ur academic achievement, as an int'l student,one of d major requirements is dat u must take AT LEAST one standardize test meant for graduate level. this is the case thru out d US. Sometimes d embassy might use dat as an excuse if they hv no reason to deny u so i'll advise u go for GMAT

@nethacker,

Thanks for your response. Femilangy once said the same and I agree completely with you guys. However, there is a an important question which you omit. and this is the question again ;does the GMAT score really matter to the consular? does a very high score increase my chance? does a low score reduce it at the consular?

I am asking the question to determine how hard I should prepare for the test. If the score doesn't matter to the consular, honestly I wouldn't want to stress myself too much about the test. I just wish to write it, put in my best and leave the center. I have a tight schedule that would not allow me to burn midnight oil for any exam at the moment.

Although ur score doesnt matter to the consular but which ever way u wanna look at it, i will advise u to prepare hard for it n get high scores cos that can help u wen u get to school, perhaps wen u try to get some kinda assistantship.

This is how my interview went ooo,

Consular, Called me to the counter.
Me, I stood up and was standin waitin.
Consular, Let me have ur passport and i 20
Me, I gave him.
Consular, Why do u do want to go to US?
Me, Goin for study.
Consular, Ok. Why this school? How did u got the school? Who choose it for u?
Me, I got it from online search(University of Texas at Austin)
Consular, And ur sponsor?
Me, My uncle(US citizen) and my mum.
Consular, Frowns and pulse for a while.
Consular, How do i knw you'll come back?
Me, Im coming back because i want to rule my people here.
Consular, How?
Me, At this point i was gettin angry.
Consular, Ok let me ur uncle's financial details.
Me, Gave him his bank details,tax clearance for four years and the i-134 which he gave me.
Consular, Was smiling,
Consular, Im sorry i had to place u on holding for further clarifications.
Me, Why?
Consular, There's no problem. We'd get back to u asap.
Me. Ok thank u. He retained my passport.

That was how it went my dear fellow members. I wish others luck in their interview.

the only thing dat saved u was the I-134 u presented. if u had jst said "my uncle is a US citizen" without d I-134, na section 214(b) dem go refer u to, hv u picked it up to check the eagle

I guess that's why i was placed on hold. Mayb they're tryin to confirm criminal act or to see if the documents my brother sent to me were fake. Am picking my passport today. I cant wait to see the eagle. Beside, i like naija. Home,sweet home. But let me get to US first. I'd be comin to Texas next week thursday.
