You read through the process and then ask questions. Another way is to read this thread and then ask questions.

Dwebsites1:

Pls guys, I got just one admission from American at d moment but I heard that, it's better to go to the (visa interview) with at least 2 or more admissions.
my question is that;
if VO asked me, how many schools did u apply to? & and how many admit?
ME: I apply to 3 schools & got 3 admits.
HOPE THEY (((WILL NOT VERIFIED))) THAT, IT'S JUST ONE SCHOOL I APPLIED TO & ONE ADMISSION I GOT ??
Someone with good answers? God bless everyone! thanks

What if you are asked questions about the other schools and you can't answer them? I applied to 2schools and was asked questions about the second school I wouldn't be attending, so please don't shoot yourself in the leg

KingStefan:
Hello please I want to as, when you applied to Mon lair State University. Did they ask for aWES course by course transcript evaluation? I need to know cos I want to apply to same in Public and Organisation Relations and it seems to be at their requirement. Thanks f

Yes you'd need to do WES evaluation, I also did that myself

Sir, i have a feeling you're going to be padding up your stories just to get your approval...i sincerely wish you all the best though!

However, i know a thing or two about telling lies! You'll sense a need to tell stories and unfortunately they won't add up. The pressure you'd be under would make you slip up. And boom...the VO figures that out and the misrepresentation is going up on your record.

So please, don't sugarcoat anything. Tell the truth always and as weird as your truth might sound, stick to that truth! Just figure out a better way to prove you're telling the truth.

Finally my brother, you really don't know how to lie. And you i doubt you know how to express your lie!

Once again, I wish you all the very best!

Cheers.

lol! thanks it's a pressure, about to filling d online stuffs. just want to be sure before put anything there. though this is not my first attempt but I'm getting tired of America wahala. I appreciate your response thanks

BarristerAlarig:


We learn everyday. Kindly give me a name of any US school that admits HND holders into an academic Masters program.

Mind you, don't advice anyone to use those in-house evalutors in America schools. They would NEVER evaluate an HND as the US bachelor's degree equivalent.

Oga, I have both HND and a Bachelors and my transcripts from my university when I got it from International admissions back then were two bachelors degree. So your choice of NEVER is very wrong.

thirdpage:


Yeah, I grab, a times even when you send a message to the schools asking them if they accept such, they won't give you a concrete response for reasons best known to them. I am enrolled for an MBA program (I also applied for MS programs and got admitted to one) and no separate fee for evaluation. I wasn't admitted into all but I was interviewed. I got admission from 3 of them.

Generally I'd advice anyone with HND to have the WES evaluation even though I did not use mine, I know I have it just incase....

I think going through WES is a waste of resources if one isn't applying to schools that need them. It is best one does his/her research work properly instead.

Pressure? I don't even understand what the pressure here is all about sir.

I will advise you to drop your previous transcript here and let our ogas here help you figure out what might have gone wrong.

That should be a good start.

Send me a pm. I can help you with that.

Done sir.

Just finished filling my ds-160 but somehow I've not convinced myself enough to submit and sign it. Meanwhile I have an issue. My sponsor is my uncle who owns a trading company so money enters his company account and leaves almost immediately but it's daily and constant.

Now I'm wondering, if I present this type of statement and at the time the embassy wants to verify is when he has pulled out the money and waiting for another inflow, will this affect my chances?

Secondly my aunt has a fixed deposit of 19m, can I present the investment certification as proof of funds??

Can I on my ds-160 put both as my sponsors

Also, for a student, what's the acceptable length of stay?

cc lagosismyhome.

Guys please help.
Thanks

Congratulations on your VISA. PLEASE does Texas A&M require WES evaluation? I'm trying to apply for Msc in HRM but their international requirements are quite vague but I really like the school. PLEASE anyone who has information this topic can also help me. Thanks

mrkhaynoni:
To all F1 visa hopefuls, here is my transcript and a little bit of background info/landing details.

I had my visa interview on Aug 2nd 2018

I was on the queue and I noticed a particular v.o was denying everybody within a minute, I became apprehensive, my confidence started waning, mouth getting dried, from my calculations it appears the window that will open up for my interview will be with this woman! God No!! I screamed in my mind, I turned to the orderly and asked to be shown the restroom (evil grin), the man look me shake head then said I should hold on for my interview first, then go to ease myself. Ha! abi were leleyi ni? (for my mind o). As we were arguing na him alarm sound for a inner cubicle, NEXT!!
Sharp! sharp!! I darted to the cubicle, as I came face to face with the African american middle aged v.o, she was all smiles, my bp started reducing small small.

V.O: hi goodmorning (very bright smile)
Me: good morning

v.o: how was your night? (I begin think, really??)
me: my night was fine, thank you

v.o: passport and I20
me: handed it over

v.o: you are Mr so so so
me: Dr so so so actually

v.o: oh sorry
me: its OK (smiling)

v.o: oh, u already have a b1 visa
me: no, that is actually a renewal (from here confidence start soaring)

v.o: just a min pls ( am sure she went to check my travel history)
me: no problem

v.o: how will you fund your program?
me: personal savings and family support.

v.o: may I see your bank statements
Me: handed it over

v.o: oh you have more than one sponsors
me: yes

v.o: I will need to verify this, if it checks out, you will have your visa (photocopied my 120)
me: no problem.

N.B
All this happened within two minutes in the most cordial mood possible, no question about my school or course, I am a Dr. going for Mph at Texas A&M.

I personally believe my past travel history both to the USA and Europe spoke well for me. I have never stayed up to two weeks outside Nigeria before. And my intended course aligned well with my background.

One week after, my visa was approved. I collected my pp and booked ticket immediately, school was resuming in 3 days.
left naija two days later, landed Texas just a day to resumption.

It has been very busy here since.

Texas A&M is a very big school, though not as much Africans as I anticipated. And my department is super nice, fed the whole class for two weeks (just lunch o)

I will recommend this school to anyone. But I believe we should all have some money for our support on landing, I have no funding at all and things are expensive when u convert, but I made modest plans for my initial survival.

I prepared my application for a whole year, and I kept very good travel history but people without travel history do get visas, and married people also got visas. Just be rational with your plans and expectations all the best my people.

SUN HERE IS HOT O!!!!!!

Visa Delayed July 17 2018 at Lagos embassy

Re fired... Got an appointment for August 16, Rescheduling thing happened, interview date was moved to 27th of August and the following went down.
I am doing this because I learnt a lot from this forum... from part 11 down to 13 and a bit of 14.

Abuja embassy window 3...

Me: Good morning Ma'am with a big smile

Vo: Good morning, pass me your passport and your I-20, she then asked what school are you going to?

Me: Im going to bowie state university for my masters in computer science, while saying that she was also nodding.

VO: How did you get to know about this school?

Me: It was recommended by my line manager at my former place of work, I also read a couple of online journals as regards my area
of specialization and the school kept being mentioned.

VO: So you work at XYZ Consulting firm?

Me: Pronounced it properly for her, then moved on to explain what my job is at the firm. I am an application support specialist plus a consultant

VO: Have you served?

Me: Yes, I served in 2015

VO: What are you going to be doing after this program?

Me: I will be returning to nigeria to continue working at my current place of work, but as a senior IT security specialist, she now asked for
a proof of my return, which i presented

VO: Who will be sponsoring?

Me: My uncle, went ahead to explain that he is business man, my maternal uncle and how he's being sponsoring since High school plus i will be
supporting with some savings from work, she then asked for his bank statement went through it and said she will be holding on to the bank statement and if found fraudulent i will be banned for 10 years and my response was: I can assure there's no issue.

VO: She then asked about my parents, I confidently told her they are doing great and that my mom is also involved with sponsoring this course
Then she goes with those words.... I will be approving your visa...you know the rest

Please note that the above does not fully cover all that transpired at the interview but will sure inform one of what to expect and how to go about it.

I will also like to mention that GOD is really important in all this, you need to be confident its okay to stammer but make sure you make your point. Also, you need to use technical terms in your field of study while explaining yourself. I dont know it all but GOD did it... It was only his grace. It is also important to dress simple and neatly... More like a clean shirt and some nice pants.

Finally, thank you to everyone that have taken their time to post one thing or the other as regards School and Visa, GOD bless you all.

Did you get any funding ?

Freeman59:
@Philadelphia, @lagosismyhome, @justwise, anybody who can, please say sth about this.

Your uncle's account is not the best bet for proof of founds. Where's the fund when they can't be accessed? That account is just what I call a "transit" account.
Your aunt's is not the best also because it's not liquid cash. However, it'll suffice better than your uncle's.
Length of stay depends on your program. For most masters, it's 24 months. I assume you're talking masters now.

Oga, I have both HND and a Bachelors and my transcripts from my university when I got it from International admissions back then were two bachelors degree. So your choice of NEVER is very wrong.

That guy is ignorant and he's only trying to cover it by arguing, instead of asking. You don't argue what you don't know or not sure about. I have both certificates two, but I'm doing my PhD using my HND. I evaluated the too but went with the one that has the courses I wanted to major in.
For people that may want to ask for the schools, Michigan Tech, Univ. of Houston, Univ. of Virginia (UVa), Illinois institute of Tech, Univ.of South Carolina, Univ of South Florida, Texas A&M and others I can't remember all accept your HND.
With a good GRE score, you're good to go!

You're towing a dangerous part. As I would always advice, do not make claims you are unable to substantiate. It is not difficult to discover the truth from you. If you applied to 1 school, admit it and give a very good reason why you did so. Visa Officers are your friends and are willing to comply with sincere applicants deserving of approval.

I fully applied to two universities, only one granted me admission does that sound nice as a serious student to a VO,?

Judgepelumi:

Yes you'd need to do WES evaluation, I also did that myself

Pelumi thanks for your responses!
I have done wes evaluation, pls can you tell me step by step process to get admission in that school? I'm I going to mail my documents, etc. kindly reply I'm not that familiar with processing admission. Thanks God bless you

Good day house.
Please a school asked me to show my immunization record. I have submitted Yellow fever and measles but they want me to show the records including immunization from MMR.
Please am i supposed to show them them all the immunization records i took as a child or i am supposed to take the vaccines and show them a recent date.
I took the MMR as a toddler.

@Lagosismyhome, 100kobo, GboyegaD, Ubah1 , I think we need to start censoring comments as they do in other pages.

So many times it's been mentioned that you should study transcripts of both successful and denied visa applicants, we have a Dropbox folder covering these on the first page, if you need to make any enquiries, then it must be that your concerns are not attended to in the transcripts studied.

I am saying this because recently I am seeing questions that shouldn't be asked for any reason or has been attended to over time.

My opinion though.

Enasdan:

I will answer in the affirmative. Tell them exactly how you applied and going by the confession you just made, you should be able to answer any ensuing questions. There's nothing wrong applying to 2 schools.

Hello house,
PLEASE I need help analysing this requirement by Texas A&M University for Postgraduate in HRM. I don't know if this write up means English is compulsory for ALL international students or just for those whose primary language is not English.

Also anyone with information about this school should help me out. I really like the resources of the school, this seems to be the only perceived hindrance.
Thanks.
