As I stepped forward to meet him, he picks a candy, and starts to lick it.
VO: Good morning sir
Me: Good morning sir
VO: tell me about your study plans?
Me: I intend to start my program immediately I reach campus... My Fall courses are basically about research... (he then interrupts me).
VO: what are the requirements for this program?
Me: I was now telling him about writing an English proficiency test... He then interrupted me again, and repeated the question. "What are the requirements to complete this program? That was when I now named the courses I'll be offering and the no of units. He keeps typing...
VO: how did you get to know this school?
Me: got to know about it through the "education section" of the professional association of physical therapists in the U.S. - American Physical Therapy Association website.
VO: who's sponsoring you?
Me: my mom
VO: what does she do?
Me: told him
NB: no document was asked. Interview was lasted for app. 1-minute.

Then the good news: "I'll be approving your visa. Pick it up at the location circled on this form"

That "going deaf" part Na true ooo.. I no even hear wetin the guy dy talk again. I just waka comot jejely

Big thanks to God, because he always answer my prayer every time I call on him. And also thanks to everyone contributing to this forum. I really appreciate!

@Lagosismyhome...Thanks a lot you have been helpful in your responses....... Is there any need to make it known to them that Unipen does not offer my course? if it will aid my chances.

As mentioned, UPenn has a world renowned communications program. If you are telling the VO that you chose Murray State because it is top ranked, when it is not, then you are asking for trouble. This is especially the case if you can't say anything credible about programs that actually are top-ranked.

Take the time to think about why you selected that particular school out of all of the schools available to you...

femi321:
thats commendable...pardon me for the voluminousisty.

It's nice. Enjoy!

Hi guys, My USA student visa interview was very brief. I can say it was just God's grace and favor that help me. My interview was for 6:30am, i go there pretty early, and after my bio-metrics,i was number 7 on the queue . I was the 3rd person to be interviewed by my VO and here goes my transcript.
VO: Good morning
Me: Morning
VO: Why are you going to the US
Me: I am going to the US to study Masters in Public Health at East Tennessee State University
VO: Why East Tennessee State University
ME: I chose the school because the school of public health in ETSU is one of the top leading schools in the US, it offers courses that perfectly my match my area of interest which health care administration. Moreover, i made my research about the school faculty and discovered that one of the professors in the school has published lots of works in international journal and his current work is line with what i intend to when i get back to Nigeria.
VO: ok, can you mention the courses that will be offered
ME: Health care admin, Epidemiology,Philosophy of public health, bio statics .. VO cuts me shot
VO: Please have this paper and collect your visa at this location.....
ME: Thank you

I am so happy, and i would say nairaland helped me while i was preparing for the interview.Thank you to everyone who takes out time to share comment, i encourage newcomers to endeavour to read through these comments to have an idea of the USA interview, also trust God. Believe he is your father and he will not fail you. I did that and it worked for me. VO did not check any of my document, not even statement or my GRE or Toefl scores
Have a blessed day people and know that Jesus is coming soon

cc hi2chuxy , there you go .......All you need is right here regarding probably how it went wrong
Not acknowledging or saying anything credible about UPenn
Instead saying Murray is top ranked and better
Most people dont get the chance of a feedback from VO,
Your feedback here so just work on it , and you hopefully you should be fine
Best of Luck .

LagosismyHome:


No please , that might be your perspection which might be true however u dont know the voices in the VO head or what he put down if any. ... Best to stick with what was written so that at least you quoting them back and not perspection . Also you dont want to come across as argumentative. Dont draw unnecessary attention

It really wasnt a misconception. He told u of a much better school UPenn which u should have acknowledged (which will show that you have researched and know the best in that field ) that yes it might be higher quality but i applied to xx for yy reasons (obviously reasons not centered around quality in this case but other factors) . Instead you argued insisted how Murray state is better ......when it is really miles below apart

I would recommend just keep it simple by stating the 214b. Most likely u get another Vo and another set of questions .

@LagosismyHome,,@LagosNIV.............You guys are wonderful..every point is noted, thank you so so much......i will definitely work on them......by the Grace of God, i am scaling through this time..THANKS GUYS.

It depends in what content , i have limited idea ......lol but Google does

In general, a student must complete 120 semester hours to receive a Bachelor's degree. Because of this requirement, 60 semester hours usually mean that the student is halfway through a degree program so 60 last credit is your last two final years for First degree (year 3 and 4) , and first 60 credit is year 1 and 2 or Community College credit .

So your last 60 credit can be used to calculate your Junior (year 3) /Senior (year 4) Average .

Does that help if not , reframe your question regarding what you need the calculation for

riskyjay777:
Hello peepz... Pls am new to dis forum. I wld be glad if u can give a positive answer to my question. I applied for MSc in Public Admin for spring semester 2017. Am always bother abt the question the VO usually ask, 'Why do u want to study Public Admin'?.... Pls I wld be grateful if someone can give me a positive answer to the question. Thanks.

I do not think you actually wish or have passion for the chosen program. Normally, you should know the reason for chosen a particular program and how it will help you in your professional career.

I think i phrase my question wrongly, i mean what will it translate to on the Nigerian credit hour. I completed 186 credit hour for my undergraduate degree, that means half of it excluding internship will be my last 60 hours right

motifoluwasolami:

I would say half way is year 3 and year 4 ......If u need it to calculate your GPA then they mean your grades for year 3 and 4...Internship i am not sure of including or excluding

I am not an expert so make i leave am for the guru here

I feel so happy for people as i read their success stories but very unhappy with myself as i remember my denial twice this year....

it is obvious you didnt fill the first form yourself, you should have gotten in contact with a member of this thread to educate you. it bears fully on me the weight of your actions which translates to damage of credibility. wait till the next admission window and get things right. goodluck.

But he said he did .... i am interested to know if you Olenime really did or not

I DID. I filled it all myself. I called some members here, walspring is my witness. I filled it myself correctly!

olenime:

Since you say you did who can say otherwise. i guess its to pray against the voices in someone else or a VO head . Until it happens to you u never know or defend either way on who lying

Thanks for sharing your story . It is well with you . Nobody destiny is tied to one place or to america , its either you try again or focus on other stuff. No VO can close door to anyone destiny.

Its God who opens the door however it is when he feel its right . .... Stay well

So are you accusing the visa officer of changing the information?
Or do you believe witches used magic to change it?

If you wrote the paper why can you not remember what was on it?
That is a sign that un-truth was written there.

motifoluwasolami:



I think i phrase my question wrongly, i mean what will it translate to on the Nigerian credit hour. I completed 186 credit hour for my undergraduate degree, that means half of it excluding internship will be my last 60 hours right

A 2-Unit course means there will be 2 hours of lectures per week per semester

A 3-Unit course means there will be 3 hours of lectures per week per semester

..and so on. Got it?

The last 60 hours is obtained by retrogressively adding all course units from final year till whatever session/year a sum total of 60 is obtained. All courses that are undertaken in this 'sum period' count, whether I.T. Units, 3rd, 4th or even 2nd year.

Hence, if a sum total of 60 is obtained in your second year, it is very much valid.


Thanks
