She didn't even ask for the documents the previous VO asked me to provide.

There's nothing much wrong with your second transcript, if I may ask was it the young white lady that interviewed you?
Different VO have their own criteria of giving Visa, I guess the lady like people with younger age.

It matters a lot .... because usually Mr John Yellow Smith and Mr Yellow John Smith will typically not be the same person ... In any electronic system this will be flagged as two different person even if it's the same DOB... Even John is different from Johns how much more a switch in names.

Good Luck Folks

Good day guys, would someone still be able to get a VISA interview date for this spring if the person books December 15?

I replied.

Fairheart I have been trying to DM you

Thanks Alot, please who knows if they do passport name change in Lagos

My visa was approved at the Lagos embassy on the 22nd of November 2019. I arrived at the embassy ahead of time for 8am appointment by 6:10 wearing a white shirt, a GOJ customized wine tie, blue trouser, brown belt and brown boots, I stood with bae at the parking lot, and she asked me questions from my proposed transcript which I answered.
Then a call was made for 8am appointment to form a queue, then proceeded for cgi confirmation. We were asked to seat at the pavilion, where we waited till 8:30, while waiting the person seated next to me started a conversation and that helped me stay relaxed.
We proceeded for security scan at the embassy building, same guy was in front of me, and then we did the 10 printing but while waiting on the long queue awaiting interview the cgi guy requested we all take a U-turn and take the 10 printing again.
All through this process my new friend was behind me and we kept talking and smiling, fast forward to when I was at the front of the line, I was directed to window 1 where a young slim tall man was seated, my guy was directed to window 3. The 2 persons before me had their visa delayed and my heart was beating fast, then it was my turn. I stepped up and the following transpired:
Me: Good morning (in a very audible and confident tone looking at him in his eyes)
VO: Good morning, can I have your passport and I20
Me: Sure
He typed for some seconds and then opened my i20
VO: why are you going to America?
Me: I am going to the state of Maryland to study for a master’s degree in business finance at the University of Baltimore, after which I will be returning home to help actively with my family business and take my CFA exam.
VO: why this school?
Me: the school is staffed with faculties with whom I have share a mutual research interest in persons of Prof Joel Morse, Dry John Weiss and Dry Jerry Yu who are renewed entrepreneurship and investment researchers, the opportunity to learn under them will be beneficial for my development, the curriculum at UB help me prepare for the CFA exams and finally it fits my budget financially.
VO: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: Two
VO: Name them?
Me: University of Baltimore and Bentley University.
VO: I can see you have been to America on a j1 visa in 2018, where did you stay?
Me: west Yarmouth Cape cod
VO: where did you work?
Me: blue water resort at west Yarmouth about 15 mins ride.
VO: what position?
Me: I worked as a front desk officer, but moved to housekeeping to help during the busy period of the season when we were understaffed.
VO: who is paying for your trip?
Me: my dad
VO: what does he do?
He is the md of a bdc, petrochemical company, aluminum importer and a real estate developer (he cuts in asking me to call them again).
VO: so it is a conglomerate, what is his monthly income?
Me: yes, the mother company is Bleep Company. Currently his monthly income is 30 million (he saying seriously) yes, as his profit.
VO: can I see his bank statement?
Me: sure, passed it with a letter from the bank. He flips through the statement of over 100 pages for a while.
VO: I will be approving you visa, do you have your reciprocal fee here?
Me: thank you and yes with a big smile.

Tips:
-Guys the main reason students are mandated to appear for an interview is to for you to make a case and prove you will return home. Many students get their visa delayed because they don’t establish home ties even after defending the reason for the course and school perfectly. So from your first answer and at every available opportunity state your intention to return home.
-Never underestimate the power of fasting and prayer, it is a believer weapon. Try Isiah 40:31, Joshua 1v9, Mathew 6:25-34, Hebrew 11:1, Proverbs 3:5-6.3
-I have read of people undermining the power of been properly dressed, please don’t fall short o, wear a formal outfit (not a suit o) it shows seriousness and intention.
-Get a practice partner to ask you possible interview question, so you can work on your spoken answer and tone or stand in front of a mirror (I prefer this because it will help you work on maintaining eye contact).
-Do your research to provide a realistic answer for the questions why this course and why this university? And when you saying it say it like you mean it.
-All through the interview maintain eye contact and keep your head up even when the vo is typing.
-Your social media says a lot about you, from the moment of application please be intentional with what you post and comment on the internet.
-Remember the school deemed you fit for admission, so go to the embassy with all the confidence and show them why.

Yes, you must take the reciprocity fee to the embassy. What are you thinking by asking that question?

Take all the documents that will establish you as a genuine candidate. And your intention to return.

The more I prepare for this GRE, the more nervous and fearful I am.

Is this a normal feeling or I am just being weird?

It is normal

Your cgpa is good.. But for your GRE, it's on average side.


Follow this steps.

1. Go to WES website and use the free calculator to convert your grades to 4.0


2. Hit Google and search for masters in business analytics in US and browse through the list of schools. (most schools offer this under MBA though)


3. Go through the requirements of the school and see if your cgpa and GRE score matches (I'm sure your cgpa does).


4. Check through the scholarship opportunities of the schools to see if your profile fit in.

5. Weigh the best options at hand and you may need USnews to compare the ranking.

6. Send in your applications and get ADMITTED

I retook and got:
Quantitative 157
Verbal 144

Hello all, pls I'm new here. Please I'm in a bit of a dilemma, I applied for a school in texas that needs me to send my transcript to ECE or WES. Due to time constraint, I decided to use ECE. My current gpa is 3.99. I would like to know if my evaluated gpa would most likely be less than 3.0. Seeing that I have heard how ECE cuts gpa and my my target gpa for admission is atleast a 3.0.

what scale is this for......... there is no way 3.99 would result in less than 3.0 except maybe University of ibadan that uses a 7.0 system. If your school is a 5.0 system then 3.99 easily should be 3.3/4.0 or even more , maybe 3.4

This is coming to appreciate our benefactors who have decided to part with their hard earned money to assist US admission hopefuls to register for Standardized tests. I am a beneficiary of your Kind gesture, and i pray that your pockets will never run dry. Just as God located David out of all the children in the house of Jesse, God will locate you all and your stars will shine bright... God bless you all.

I did that and I responded back to your mail.

It's for a 5.0 scale. Thanks alot for the insight. Your response was really helpful.
