When next the VO asked you why you chose the school, you need to tell him/her of your interests about the school, the school rating in that region, the course they offer and researches ongoing in your chosen department and how interested you are in the research and how it will help your academic knowledge. Better luck next time. Please read plenty transcripts on previous pages and threads.
Kudos to the gurus that have been constantly helping out here. JahBless. sureb0y I always feel your responses here so valid and on point.

Things here for many to learn from!
We have repeatedly warned people about giving replies that they have over practiced.
The moment that you start one of these speeches it is very clear that you are not using a normal conversation voice.
The visa officer will instantly suspect that your statement is not real.

In this case the visa officer reads through the words "Tuition affordable)
This means that you picked the cheapest school that you could find!

Applying for Jan? ? ? Most schools start after summer shutdown, not Jan 2017, what is going on here.

Sincerely VO mind is always negative towards applicant. the only point you can use to kill interview is why the school? as an Applicant you have a lot of work to do regards to the question, you just need to prove to VO that you are fully aware of the school, you make the VO believe that you know the school very well. why the school? you have to make proper research and bring out one or two unique reasons or advantage the school have over others. All schools in USA re safe and secured. no point you telling VO about safety and next time try and give VO a specific lower rate for him or her to believe that you are current on what you are proving..not just too low...if something is low definitely it will have a figure. don't worry sharply apply..they will give you your two years now

They aren't really biased. Only want to make sure they issue visa to the right people.

Notwithstanding though, the US need you more to make their economy much stronger but unfortunately our countrymen don't imbibe this attitude which is quite unfortunate.

Do you know that the US Embassy approve F1 visas so easily when they see the number of candidates had reduced?

"Tuition affordability" is okay. There's nothing wrong with it. While he or she talks about that, you have to also intelligently make a comparism on quality. Just like buying a new car, you know?

The VO was only disappointed when he talked about security. Meaning if the US schools in not really safe, why does he want to go to America then? You got my drift, right?

Already checked. Thanks.

This is frustrating! I can't believe a member of this thread can reel out those answers. We are spoon feeding members here and making them lazy.

We answer them real time and just help in dissuading them from research. The VOs are beginning to see through them.

We should encourage them to read a full part of USA travelling before running down here for questions. With the tons of transcripts here, no one shud mess up interview session as he did! Am sad

Mayflowa:

The VOs are beginning to see through them.

You are quite correct and I have raised this point before.

Even this V.O. said " You have practised in front of a mirror"
Why do people try to use long words and complicated phrases learn from web sites instead of a simple, truthful answer in their own voice.

If you have your transcript, you can google WEE IGPA converter n use it for free. It will give you a rough idea. I think you should be around 3.34 but your last 60 credit hours might just turbo-charge you to 3.5 something.

elnino2015:
Good morning house,

Please I need you guys to help me clarify something.

Do you US schools accept certified true copies of transcripts from notary public? I have an original copy of my transcript but cannot send that to them and even if I go to apply for another transcript from my school, what they will give me will still be photocopy,stamped and signed by our deputy registrar.

And I need to send my transcript ASAP.

It depends on the school you apply to, some schools accept scan copy while some accept original copy send directly from your undergraduate institution, therefore you will have to contact the school to know the one they accept.

If your school request for it, It's better you do in nigeria before you come US

Will suggest you wait till you get to school before receiving your vaccines for free as all insurance packages are mandated to cover preventive services including immunizations for free.

Hello House, The 120days rule! please will it start counting from the day the student receives his/her I-20 form by courier?

Thanks in anticipation of your response.
