Visa approved at Lagos Embassy, 30th July 2019

School: Clarkson University

Funding: 66,000$ (Tuition and stipends)

Course : Msc Chemical Engineering

This was my 9th attempt, 7 in Lagos, 2 in Abuja

Here is my today's visa transcript:

V.O: (Looked at my i20) I see you have a teaching assistantship, what will you be teaching?

Me: I will be assisting prof. ... in grading students papers, invigilating test and exams, other teaching duties will be assigned upon resumption

V.O: what was your undergraduate Major?

Me: chemical engineering

V:O Where do you work and what's your duties?

I currently work as a process engineer at D***y Industries Limited and stated my duties

V.O: (Started typing for a long time and checking his system, he was shaking his head too and my mind was beating fast.) He asked, have you travelled outside the country before?

Me: Yes, I have been to Ghana

V.O: is it by flight or road and how many times

Me: I travelled by road and that was sept last year and came back same month

V.O: (Went to meet another V.O, he stayed there for like 4mins, I don't know what they were discussing). After he came back, he asked... What's your plans after graduation?

Me: Upon completion of my masters degree, I will be resuming a new position at my current place of work as a senior process engineer and I am going to be on a paid study leave (I brought out the letter, he saw it and said he doesn't need it, I pushed my letter back to my file).

V.O: (Typing for a very long time and checking stuffs on his system) you have been to Abuja embassy last time, what transpired there?

Me: During my last interview, the V.O wasn't convinced that I am a credible student and hence I was refused. I have come to demonstrate my credibility as a student, I wrote GRE and scored 324, had a good grade (1st class) and believe i definitely do very well during my masters studies at Clarkson University. (He nodded)

V.O: (Started typing again and checking stuffs on his system), You applied for safety science at Embryl Riddle Aeronautical University in 2017, why the switch to chemical engineering (For my mind, e don come again o)

Me: That's was when I finished my National Youth Service and was working with a firm so i needed to increase my safety knowledge but since I changed place of work and now dealing with chemicals, I needed to develop knowledge in the area of chemical catalysis and plasma processing which will be needed when I resume a new position at my place of work. (He nodded)

V.O: Do you have anybody in USA?

Me: No, I don't have anybody

V.O: (Typed for ages, for like 2mins and was checking his system, my mind was beating fast. He took my passport and those blue papers, I was like it's finished, another refusal�. Immediately he brought out the white paper and circled a location, then said the golden words) YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED, then passed my i20 and sevis receipt

Me: collected my i20 and shouted Thank you sir!!! I ran out of the embassy and people were shouting what is it, I was running till i reached where I entered cab to my house cos it was like a dream or like i was watching a movie.

That's it... I saw God's favour today

Wow this is beautiful...... I even thought you were in US already..... I'm so happy for you man.... congrats

Hello, i am a silent follower on this thread since 2017. I have meet a lot of people via conversation who had their visa approved. I secure an emergency visa interview for Tuesday. Please assist to review my 3rd attempt.

Question: Why again after 2 attempts?
It is good to take inspiring challenges for a better future and career goals. After all we are all useless without a purpose.

I would say is as a result of my overall application strength. I submitted my personal statements which clearly defined why I wanted an MSBA at the university, I added my CV with over 7 years of professional experience and achievement as well as my GRE/graduate score.

Question: I mean, what do you have to do to maintain the scholarship?
Make good progress towards the completion of my degree and maintain a good grade.

During my reviews, I met an alumni of the university, he came back to Nigeria 2 years ago and got a good paying job in a multinational firm. He has been promoted twice in the space of 1 year because of his acquired set of skills from the University.

Questions: What will this degree do for you?

1. The language of business today is dependent on information technology, data management.
2. This program provides me with a holistic knowledge that balances the technologies, analytical methods and business expertise.
3. I will understand how cutting-edge businesses use data to optimize marketing, maximize revenue, make operations efficient and make management decisions.
