jerrypeacelinks:
Hello house, can I pay a visa appointment fee using mobile app/ internet banking? If yes, please how do I go about it?

Adhheir:

Yeah you can, pay through your mobile app and go print the receipt on the online platform, I take it you're talking about GTB mobile app and GTB internet platform.

1. Log on to your mobile app
2. Goto payments and locate visa fees
3. Follow the prompts and input accurate information
4. Confirm visa fees payment (they'll deduct the fee
from your account)
5. Log on to ibank.gtbank.com with your login details
6. Click on travel [airline tickets, visa fees and hotel]
7. Click on US visa fees on the drop tray
8. You'll be able to view your transaction history
9. Print receipt (it'll come as a PDF)

Cheers

Yes it is absolutely okay to be nervous. It is part of their job to make you nervous (if you already are not) and steal your feelings. To find reasons to not let you get the visa or to find out what your true intentions are with couple of more questions.

This happened to me couple of months back while I was applying for a tourist visa.

After passing all the security check I was standing in a line and could hear every conversation between the interviewer and the applicant. I did not have well-prepared answers to common questions (as some friends suggested what could be asked) so I began to think of some. To make things worse, I noticed that most people in front of me were already denied the visa stating immigrant reasons or so. Now it’s my turn. I was already nervous with lost hope, as visa officer taking my interview had already denied 5 people in a row. My thinking… I could be sixth.

So the conversation went like this

Officer: What is your name?

Me: My name is …

Officer asked about other personal informations. And…

Officer: What do you do for a living?

Me: I work in a company called LogPoint. We have a head office in Denmark and a development branch is in Nepal.

Officer: How long have you been working there?

Me: 5 years

Officer: What does your company do?

Me: We develop a SIEM solution.

Officer interrupting me…

Officer: What solution?

At this point of time I was nervous. I should not have said the acronym. or should have said more clearer but I already did the mistake

Me: It’s SIEM… the security incident and event management thing (seeking the response… to which he just nooded) Basically we are into information security and we develop a product that helps in analysis of security incidents. (Maybe I could have said something better… but this is all that came to my head at that time)

Some other question regarding past travel and reasons… And

Officer: Why do you want to visit the United States?

Me: To take part in the conference … (As I was going to attend a Conference)

Officer: Can I see your conference participation and confirmation letter?

Me: (I had carried bunch of documents so couldn’t locate that particular one upfront… It took me 10 seconds to find) I handed him the letter. Along with some other supporting documents.

Seeing me take some time to hand over the documents

Officer: Are you nervous?

Me: A bit, yes.

Officer: Don’t be. It’s part of our job to get you nervous.

Me: Just smiled

After checking my documents and after about 30 seconds …

Officer: Your request for visa has been approved. Please collect it after a week time.

Me: Thank you… and left the room.

Presently, I'm looking for different schools that offer assistantship with tuition waiver and I've listed some out. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and I'll like to proceed into Master's in Computer related courses, like Computer science, computer and information technology, telecoms etc but they don't state in their website if a Bsc in Mathematics will be okay for admission into their Computer programs. Please, can anybody prob in this area of discipline, shed more light? Thanks to y'all
