Good evening everyone, this is my first post ever on this platform. I got an admission to study at Wayne county community college, I have my admission letter and the I20 form too. About to book an interview session, as resumption is for January 2020. I am a graduate, but I see this as an opportunity. I really need advice on my chances and any other info that would be helpful. Appreciate �

ISSUED TRANSCRIPT
I am so sorry this is coming late almost 2weeks overdue.

STATS
Standardized test; GRE
Funding: (in-state tuition)

Interview: 18th July (Abuja Embassy)
Status updated: 14th August
Issued: 16th August


VO: Good morning, welcome to the United States of America, pass me ur passport and i20
Me: Good morning Sir (passed document)

VO: Have you travelled outside Nigeria before?
Me: Yes I have

VO: Where is the Visa Stamp on your passport and what did you go there to do
Me: The stamp should be on page 4 or so of my passport (flips through and saw the Visa stamp) and I went for a Scientific Conference as a Student Leader

VO: So you are going to Texas A&M University Health Science Center
Me: Yes Sir

VO: How do you intend funding this degree
Me: I got a scholarship qualifing me for a non-resident tuition waiver and my Aunt would cover for the rest

VO: Do you have any financial evidence, bear in mind if you give me a fraudulent document u'll be ban from the US for life
Me: Yes I do, hands over bank statements in USDollars (VO goes through the statement and gave me back the bank statement)

VO: I'll be approving your Visa (hands over the 2white papers and a yellow paper where he ticked "Supplemental questions by email), I will send you a document to fill and submit online,Please confirm ur email address
Me: Thank you, my email is ...............

I left the embassy giving thanks to God, I am now in the US and have started lectures, at the POE (I was asked few questions like how many courses I will be taking this fall, how much I had on me and where I will be staying in Texas), the US is quite organized, my school is big and awesome, we have a handful of international students too.

RECOMMMENDATIONS:
1. Never underestimate God's grace in this process, Pray like you never prepared and prepare like you never prayed
2. Ask Questions from people that have crossed the path no matter how stupid they might sound (with regards to this, please feel free to ask me your questions)
3. Prepare very well and early enough; give the GRE, TOEFL or any other relevant exams, secure funding no matter how small (Applying early to schools with good GRE scores increases funding opportunities)
4. Stay Focused and DON'T BE DISCOURAGED (I was discouraged by some persons because I had a US bank Statement and was once denied a B1 Visa to attend a conference)
5. During the Interview; Be confident and honest (In addition to your answers, VOs lay emphasis on you demeanour too)...prepare well!

.....Special thanks to @fairheart and to everyone for ur contributions I learnt from them
I have been a silent follower, I'll try to be more active and contribute when necessary

Attending a Community College as a graduate is more like a diminished valued action, as Lagosismyhome had said, "it might be difficult to convince the VO", nonetheless, there's nothing impossible.

Read transcripts of the few persons who got their VISA approved; they are on this forum.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Nobody: 8:04am On Aug 29, 2019
VISA ISSUED :27th of August,2019
Interview date : 23rd of August,2019

BSc Chemistry
SECOND DEGREE
School: Coppin State University Baltimore Maryland
INTERVIEW LOCATION: LAGOS
Window 2

My interview was short. I didn't go with my ds-160, appointment letter and GTB visa RECEIPT (please don't make this mistake. I was charged ₦2000 per page to print those documents).

Apart from the usual goosebumps I get whenever I read Nairaland gist, I was worried with 2 things. The mistake on my i-20 and reason why I'm going for second degree. I finally figured out how to go about the i-20 issue but that other part won't just leave my head.

I Sha prepared transcript like 5/6 times .My appointment was 6:45am but I was interviewed 10:15am. Venue was Lagos. I didn't go with ds-160, appointment letter and GTB visa RECEIPT so I had to print them at the embassy. A copy was ₦2000. Everything was 8k but I gave the guy 6k (after interview�of course). I took another passport photo there ₦1500/6 copies (I'm still asking myself why because they didn't collect even 1 copy). I was the ONLY ADULT with hijab then 2 small kids. I did my biometric then went to the interview hall. I was directed to window 10 to scan my passport and the lady there was like I should go and snap a passport photo showing my ears,whole face and neck. I told her it wasn't necessary since the picture on my international passport is with full hijab and I was able to upload similar photo too while filling my ds160. Then she said I should go to window 12. still a woman, Nigerian. She said the same thing and I repeated my words again then she called the attention of an old white man and explained to him. He said no problem that she should go on with it (I was just smiling like a kid they gave chocolate�). I was then directed to window 7 for finger print. After that I joined the interview queue. Everyone was just suprise cus I was the only one that dressed in a different way (what's my own there I was just reciting اللهم لا سهل إلا ما جعلته سهلا وأنت تجعل الحزن إذا شءت سهلا).

The VO was a young guy 20+. He refused the family before me. Then it was my turn. That was how my legs refused to move...then this big smile just came and he was like I should move forward. The VO was really blushing �


VO: hey! Good morning come come (with a biggggggg smile)
Me: Good morning sir

VO: pass your passport and i-20
Me: passed it

VO: so where are you going in the USA?
Me: I'm going to the USA specifically Coppin State University Baltimore for a degree in chemistry

VO: okay okay good. Do you have a scholarship?
Me: yes I do but it doesn't reflect on the i-20 because I will need to complete my application before it can be effective. Reason why I presented my dad's statement of account when applying cus it was part of the documents I sent to the school.

VO (really nodding hard) what does your dad do?
Me: he's the Director of Crown oil . Crown oil deals with production and sales of engine oil for machine part. He's also the one in charge of the family land and properties. This is the certificate of occupancy for one of his houses in Lagos.

VO: can I see it?
Me: yes sure (passed)

While he was going through I quickly said.
Me: he's also one of the high Chiefs in Ikoyi (point at the Chief infront of his name) that's the reason for that Chief infront of his name there.

VO: (typed for a while) so you worked at University of Lagos with Dr...
Me (immediately) yes! Dr Adeyemo (he nods) we worked on a project which was published last year. Antioxidants Capacity of lemongrass and organic compound present.(this was my project topic)

VO: wow!!!! Tell me more about it (already going for the white paper)
Me: I got 5 different samples from different forest in Nigeria then I planted in the school garden. After it matured, I ploughed and did extraction after which I carried out analysis using dpph assay then I used a spectrometer to find out the organic compound present (my voice was shaking here because I wanted to explain all what I did for project)

VO: that's really good. I'll be approving your Visa. On this paper is where you will get your passport back within 3/4 working days. congratulations and enjoy your stay in the USA.
ME: Yeah thank you so much sir
(Collected my documents with AlhamdulliLlah and walked out)


It was as if everyone was just waiting for my session. Everywhere was quite. I was scared on my way out because it was just shocking. All the questions I've prepared!. I wanted to ditch the interview a week to my appointment. I can only say AlhamdulliLlah it was Allah all the way�. When I came out smiling everyone infront of the gate couldn't believe it. They were just looking at me chai!. AlhamdulliLlah sha


I really want to appreciate everyone. All the transcripts was very helpful. Walepepe,time2win,lagosIsmyhome ,Everyone. I wish everyone that's expecting good news and those of us already approved and issued won't face any problem beyond us. Best of luck!!!?!

Please I want to know. Is GRE scores always sent from the exam center directly to the school of interest.
Or do I have to input the score myself during my application

Me: I got 5 different samples from different forest in Nigeria then I planted in the school garden. After it matured, I ploughed and did extraction after which I carried out analysis using dpph assay then I used a spectrometer to find out the organic compound present (my voice was shaking here because I wanted to explain all what I did for project)

VO: that's really good. I'll be approving your Visa. On this paper is where you will get your passport back within 3/4 working days. congratulations and enjoy your stay in the USA.
ME: Yeah thank you so much sir
(Collected my documents with AlhamdulliLlah and walked out)


It was as if everyone was just waiting for my session. Everywhere was quite. I was scared on my way out because it was just shocking. All the questions I've prepared!. I wanted to ditch the interview a week to my appointment. I can only say AlhamdulliLlah it was Allah all the way�. When I came out smiling everyone infront of the gate couldn't believe it. They were just looking at me chai!. AlhamdulliLlah sha


I really want to appreciate everyone. All the transcripts was very helpful. Walepepe,time2win,lagosIsmyhome ,Everyone. I wish everyone that's expecting good news and those of us already approved and issued won't face any problem beyond us. Best of luck!!!?!

Good afternoon all, please I want to pay for application fee to an institution in the US and the two payments options are either through credit card or Western Union, so I chose Western Union since I don't have credit card. I visited the bank to pay via Western Union and was told I can't do that except I have a domiciliary account. Someone told me I can give the naira equivalence of the dollar amount and then request they should help me use someone who has domiciliary account to pay. When I returned to the bank, they said that's not possible and the pay voucher which I generated on 26/8/19 will expire tomorrow 30/8/19.. someone experienced should please advise me
