@Tella26 better to ask for a TOEFL waiver than to submit that atrocious score. Retake the exam, it might be useful for assistantships. @Kevwemanuel Yes is the answer to all the questions except no. 3, which is No. For 6. your application won't be considered complete until you submit your GRE scores though. Some may accept unofficial scores for the GRE until your offer comes. 7. Check the GRE thread for more information. |

ybahrbz91:Close your eyes and let us pray! Lord help me to be nice, it won't be easy, just help me. Amen! 1) If Dr. Sand dies today, would you still attend this school? I am showing you something. Previously, VOs used to be mesmerized when you talk about being captivated by a professor's ongoing research or being thrilled by the prospects of being mentored by one. Now the jazz no too dey work. Please I beg you, come up with a better reason. You can use this to support but don't start with this I beg you. Your second reason sounds cool so we just need to give it a nice intro Maybe you are passionate about neurorehabilitation for stroke survivors and fortunately, the MSc program at UIC stands out because of the multidisciplinary approach or something... I hope you get the picture. Please you have to work on why this school, ok? Next, why this course Do you remember what your English teacher taught you about Topic sentence? Sometimes it could be at the beginning, the middle or the end. Let me tell you, in a visa interview, your topic sentence must be at the BEGINNING!!! So, why this course. Just hit it. You decided to pursue M.Sc in Rehab because... gbam gbam gbam. Then you can start telling stories if you meet a patient VO. Moving forward, what will this course do for you You have great ideas but you didn't make much impact because you have unnecessary words causing distractions. "which would be brought to bear in delivering an evidenced based Rehabilitation service in other" Before you mentioned to improve the stroke survivor kini, I already lost interest coz these unnecessary lines distracted me. So why not tie your answers together, like the degree qualifies you for a position, and in that position, having already gotten the necessary skills, you would be able to attenuate premature death in stroke victims or something. I pray you see what I am showing you please. Your answers should always reinforce each other. If your dad's SOA can cover your cost, you really don't need to talk about your uncle. My opinion though. Ok, I am really tired, I think I will stop here. I just didn't want you to feel ignored, that's not nice at all. I wish you all the best my friend. Go get that visa! 5 Likes 1 Share |

My Visa Interview Transcript GRE 309 WES 3.73/4.00 Deficit on I-20 form is $13k Assistanship $32k Uncles SOA $19k Abuja Embassy, young white lady Visa approved 16th July Placed on AP 17th July -7th August Visa issued 8th August Me: Good morning VO: Good morning, pass me your i20, passport Me: passed them VO: why are you going to the US? Me: I'm going for my masters degree in Public Health with concentration in environmental health at ETSU, Johnson City VO: why ETSU? Me: the public health program at ETSU is well tailored to environmental health which is my area of concentration. The faculty is also involved in alot of research activities in environmental health including Environmental Exposure Assessment and Risk Analysis of Pathogens which perfectly aligns with my research motives. VO: what will this course do for you? Me: This course will give me an indept knowledge into this area of public health and will equip me with recent analytical tools/methodology to be able to coordinate public health researches in environmental health when I come back to Nigeria. VO: what are your plans after graduation? Me: I plan to come back to Nigeria and pick up a job in any of the tertiary health institutions as a public heath physician; use the knowledge and experience garnered in ETSU, to contribute my quota in improving the health sector by working with the federal or state ministries of Health, WHO or NGOs in providing comprehensive health care services in Endemic areas and endemic prone areas Such as IDP camps. VO: who is sponsoring you ? ME: I have a GA offer which comes with tuition waiver and stipends; my uncle will be assisting me with the deficit. VO: Alright, I will be approving your visa now( with this warming smile)...other routine talks. Handed me 2 white papers and my I 20 Me: Thank you. I felt like I was dreaming. As I left the embassy I could not contain the joy. The cab I boarded I had to tell him to keep the change imagine! A day later I received a mail from the embassy asking for supplemental information which I responded to promptly. Since day was placed on AP. Last updated 7th August and issued 8th August. Appreciation: This was entirely God's favour and mercy. I had to pray and fast reminding God of His promises upon my life every single day. Even booked mass join with novena to our mother of perpetual help...Catholics can relate! Scharwarma, Fairheart, PreStan, Dreambound NL and other gurus in the house I cannot thank you guys enough for the transcript reviews and mock interviews. It's only God that can reward you for your selfless services and sacrifice in this thread. Scharwarma one bottle of your brand in Johnson city when we see� For those still on AP, three words for you guys...Pray, Prepare and Proceed. Pray and go ahead with preparations for your travel plans(except booking for flight). I know it's not easy with the anxiety and depression sometimes but to be honest the only change you can make is through prayer and faith in God. What's the worst thing that can happen!!! Will someone die? Pray and keep faith For those that were refused, dust up and refire. Don't allow one VO in one window stop you from achieving your sweet dreams. Post your transcript for reviews, disturb the gurus for mock interview and retire. No room for quiters here...saw 9th attempt transcript sometimes here. For those awaiting interview, in the words of Scharwarma 'just go and get that visa' most importantly don't show desperation in that way you will be more articulate in your response. For the newbies, we were all once newbies. Just post any queries you have here no matter how stupid it seems. I am sure you must get a valuable response. Be focussed and prepare ahead for your studies abroad. For the silent observers(I inclusive), try and say hello sometimes. Maybe you might be helping save someone's dream with your little contribution as many are helping save yours. I will be available to help with any assistance as much as my knowledge and schedule permits. Thank you everyone. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Good morning all,I got late admission letter from the school last month around 25th now they indicated on my admission letter that the I-20 is expecting I enter the USA by 27th of July as resumption is 26th of August I mailed the school to inform them of how far interview dates take,they replied and informed me that there is another option if registering my courses if I arrive before 6th of October. I have successfully scheduled an appointment for this month I requested the school give me an exemption letter indicating that there I something called eight week availability of courses if I come by October, the school replied that they don't give exemption letter as the embassy should be aware of the second eight week availability of courses. please am confused on how to carry admission letter showing August 26th with me and if that won't affect me,kindly advice me on what to do. |

Sosao: I am happy for you. Guys, what should I do if my grad cord says I should mail each professor whose classes I will be taking for the first week of the semester for permission to be absent from classes but she doesn't want to give an extension letter? In this case, if my visa eventually comes through, is it the approval mails from the professors that I will show at the port of entry? 1 Like |

Good evening all, I was denied a visa at the embassy on 8th of July, planning to go again this August in Abuja. I got married on the 20th of July. I hope my change of marital status won't affect my chances of getting an approval? (desperation). Note: going for my 4th attempt..people in the house please help. I am about to submit my Ds160, should I maintain my previous status? Gurus in the house!! @Sharwama @Brown2green |

flukaa: You shouldn't be concerned about your change of marital status.. What you should be concerned is if nothing has changed from your previous application.. Your school, funding, credibility etc. The embassy care less about your marital status, whether single or married as far as F1 visa is concerned.. Once they can ascertain your credibility as a student, your visa will never be denied, and many factors are used to check this.. By the way, stating your present status honestly, if legit is an honest path.. You know what to do.. Good luck! |

victree007: although its cheaper it might not be a good idea to travel with tickets that are "check in baggage not included"... Those are for people going for very short trips, as you cant do any liquid , not even toothpaste and the luggage allowance is really small . As a new student dont you want to travel with clothes and your personal things? ..........Instead of getting to the US and then buying everything all over again |

With Love from Illinois... My Visa was approved on the 2nd of August. Scholarship $13,000 Deficits 17,0000 VO .. So why are you going to the Northern Illinois University? Me: Coupled with the funds which covers my Tuition, NIU will give me the opportunity to have a double degree, .. VO: Hold on, Types for a long time and tells me to proceed. Me: A Masters degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering and a Masters degree in Logistics and Operations. Most interesting to me is the fact that the course structure emphasizes on Lean Manufacturing, Large Scale Optimization, Process Optimization and Industrial Automation. VO: What did you study for your UG? Me: Electrical Engineering VO: What is your current role? Me: I work as a business analyst, basically communicate with the Technical, Finance and Human Resource Managers to collect sufficient data to help in outlining the problems, opportunities and solution to help them in making informed decisions. VO: How does that relate with Industrial Engineering? Me: My vertical market cuts across the manufacturing and Information Technology Industries. VO: What's your Thesis on? Me: Advanced Simulation, Visualization and Modelling of product design and development. VO: What product will you be manufacturing? Me: It covers the entire Manufacturing and Business Process. VO: Who'll be paying for the deficits? Me: My uncle.. VO: Why will your uncle pay? Me: actually, He is not just an uncle to me, he is an inspiration. Inspired me to get the Chevron scholarship, the NYSC states award as best Corp Member, built my career from ground zero to a point where I'm been invited to speak at functions across the country, was part of the 50 man planning committee for the Senate, My uncle knows I'm very promising and knows the Return on Investment this degree will fetch me. VO: I'll be approving your Visa. You'll need this at the point of entry... @Drakales @fairheart and all who reached out to me , I cannot say how much grateful I am. I was denied in Lagos, Inspire hundreds of people daily but could barely inspire myself to take that long journey to Abuja. I have a lot to say to the Spring 20 and Fall 20 hopefuls. Brown 2 Green has both been denied and approved. So he knows what both feels like. God Speed to those on AP, God's speed to those waiting on the Visa. Peace. 34 Likes 5 Shares |
