Here is my transcript :


vo: hi, good morning
me: good afternoon

vo: can i have your passport…and your i-20
me: ok, here they are
(vo types for few seconds)

vo: so, what are your studies plans?
me: i intend to go for my doctorate degree in physiology and neurobiology….this will expose me to in-depth research skills in liver physiology and research methodologies used in liver research like co-immunoprecipitation, polymerase chain reaction….so i will be joining prof.xxxx whom i met here in Nigeria last year, in his research…(cuts in gently)

vo; do you have a bachelors degree or masters..or you are going straight to phd?
me: I have a masters already

vo: where did you do your masters?
me: university of ibadan here in nigeria


vo: so, phd in physiology, right?
me: yes, physiology and….(cuts in)

Vo: what will this do for you?
me: it will expose me with strong research skills needed..by identifying important genes that determine susceptibility to hepatotoxicity.., i will be able to fulfil my career goals. and i have two major goals: to come back to Nigeria and take up a lecturing job in one of our public universities. secondly, i intend to, on the long run, collaborate with research institutes like the national biotechnology development agency…(gentle nods and cuts in gently)

vo: so, this prof you mentioned is prof…?
me: prof Bleep. I met him here in Nigeria during a conference..

vo: ok, prof Bleep (looking into his computer)

vo: can i have your..program..admission letter?
me: ok, here they are (and he studied intently for a while, flipping through the 3-paged attached documents- offer and 2 GAship letters)

me: (filled the ‘awkward’ silence) the revised GAship letter was sent to me upon the realization that i had a masters degree…so the only difference is just the figure of the amount

vo: ok…. you have a bachelors degree in ?
me: biochemistry

vo: so your biology must be very sound?
me; yes

vo: ok, what is mitosis?
me: it’s a biological occurrence that describes the division of cells. and the time taken for a complete cell cycle is 24 hrs…whereby a cell divides into 2 daughter cells and the multiplication goes on and on…

vo: what about meiosis?
me: just like mitosis, it describes the division of cells…(cuts in)

vo: alright. you know, not so many people know these things..i just wanted to be sure…


vo: how will you be paying for your studies?
me: i was awarded a graduate assistantship which covers full tuition waiver and offers a generous stipends. In addition, i am also in touch with my uncle who is willing to support.

vo: what does your uncle do?
me: he owns a business here in Nigeria and he imports and sells building construction materials. i have his statement here as proof

vo: alright. you will need this to pick up your visa. here is your i-20 and documents.
Me: Ok. Thanks

VO: From your i-20 (searched for the commencement date for about 5 seconds), you will not be permitted to enter the states before August since the start date is august 29.
Me: ok

Me; (elated that it was over) when will i pick up the visa?
vo: you will find the information on the sheet given to you.

me: ok. thank you
vo: alright. have a good day


Thanks to all everyone in the house for your immense contributions and counsel. You all made it happen.

And so, my tiny little advice for potential applicants: it's okay to be nervous but do your homework well and have a convincing reason for wanting to go to the US.

All open bro......

rogerdavid:
@dimejidude, I totally agree with you on that one. I must confess that I stuttered through my answers. The question took away the confidence that was building up in me as soon as it was asked . (lol).

We must be intentional about the little details but there are times when those little details just elude us in a strange way.

I was glad he didn't allow me continue on the meiosis defn (I would have blown it...lol)... I wonder if VO knew the actual thing sef. Lol

No mitosis & meiosis, no biology. Unable to answer such a common term in biology would be a very big fucck up in the interview.

cseejhay:

You'll need sufficient data to download all the materials. However, you don't need all of them. First, try and locate the ETS TOEFL iBT prep software in the first link (You might have to dig into the folders to find the exact location). Thereafter; you download and install. Make sure you take all the practice test for all sections after going through the noteful videos in the second link. The videos are all you need. Don't bother to read the bulky materials therein. Focus on the sections in this order; Speaking, Writing, Reading, Listening. I had five days to prepare and the materials helped land a decent score. I came across a well structured format for each of the six speaking questions. I don't have that on drive but could forward it to you later.

you are a blessing to me. i would do exactly as you have said

cutemorgan and battoyeb... PM replied

Alright boss... Thanks sir

mevisbleek:
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone on this forum for making this forum as informative as possible. Most importantly, I would like to thank the dude that sent me the transcript, can't remember his name, thank you Sir.

As promised, please see my wife's transcript below. It was kind of a short interview so I don't think the transcript would be of much help. Her interview was held at Abuja VO this morning at 9am. I heard that an old woman came for interview dressed in their Chosen attire with a bible on her left hand. However, she was denied and she started telling the VO that the God of chosen, the God of my pastor will blahblahbh, Aww. That's sad

VO: Good Morning
Wifey: Good Morning
VO: Why are you going to USA
Wifey: For a Masters in ADR at the University of Denver. Before she could say the last R, he intercepted and said Alternative Dispute Resolution. E be like say na him major for school. lol
VO: When did you graduate and what did you study
Wifey: Graduated with an LLB in 2009 and went on for an LLM in 2012
VO: Have you been called to bar
Wifey: Yes, I have
VO: That's nice.
VO: Are you working
Wifey: Yes, I'm
VO: May I have your old passport
Wifey: She handed it to him and he cancelled her existing B1 Visa
VO: Your visa has been approved.

Nna eh, no document was looked at. I think the USA VO's look out for your communication skill and your ability to convince them that you will leave the country upon graduation. In our case, we were able to prove that because she has a 2yrs B1 visa and only visited the states twice and returned back to Nigeria.

Also, it's important to give short and cogent answers. Thanks guys.....
At this point, I will retire to the Canadian thread where I be Guru-Maharaji the 2nd. lol.

hahahaaaa... i saw d woman . she was interviewed at window 8. security had to be called to escort her away.... meand ur wife and i sat not too far apart.

cutemorgan:
