I applied on Saturday

Okay, when did you get response from them?

Alright, thank you.

Sirchukky2017:
stick with one uncle if you can and if you, don't criticize you first masters rather find a relation ship between your first masters and the new on you intend to do. and I think you will be fine . because your story would now change that your current masters is a follow up on your previous one.and also I don't know if you have even had unto 2 years work experience either in the field of the master you have or the one you intend to pursue

This Lagos embassy people no go make heaven. They just pack people today just to issue rejections. This journey man need to gat be strong, for those that were denied today, don’t blame yourself for anything, you did your best.

Guys please help me look into my first and second transcript. Let me know what went wrong. I will be going for the third one soon.


First interview by the Korean VO in October.

VO: Have you travelled out before?

ME: No, I have not.

VO: I can see you have a scholarship, who will be paying the deficit?

ME: My uncle who is the HSE Manager at *** and also has a business that deals on importation of cars and Safety materials will be covering the deficit.

VO: ( He started typing and after that he looked at me and asked) Where do you work?

ME: I work at *** as an Assistant Lecturer where I share academic workload with ***

The next thing he said was thank you for coming... and he handed the blue paper to me


Second Transcript

Second interview by the Tattoo VO in Lagos ( November). He was the only VO on seat that day.

ME: Good morning

VO: Good morning

VO: I can see you are going for your Ph.D in Educational Psychology at Texas Tech University.

ME: Yes

VO: What is your highest qualification?

ME: I have a Masters degree in Educational Administration and planning from ***.

VO: When did you graduate?

ME: I graduated in 2018

VO: After that what have you been doing?

ME: Immediately after my graduation I was retained in *** as an Assistant Lecturer where I share academic workload with ***

VO: Why are you going for a Ph.D program?

ME: This program would not only position me to take up a senior Lecturing role in *** where I currently work as an Assistant Lecturer but it will also enhance my competences in understanding and discovering the strategies that can help educate all students including those with severe and multiple disabilities in a general education classroom, and with this I can be able to impact the Educational sector in Nigeria in terms of policy building and development as it pertains to Curriculum development.

VO: How do you intend to sponsor yourself?

ME: I got a research assistantship position that qualifies me for a tuition waiver and supplementary fees with a stipend of $1283 and my uncle who is not just my uncle but my guardian and mentor since the death of my father in ***. He has been the one taking care of my needs, in short I grew up thinking he is my elder brother because he lived with us before he got married in 1993 ( Immediately I said that he looked at me).

VO: What does your uncle do?

ME: He is the HSE Manager at *** and also a Real Estate investor. He has properties in four states Lagos, Port Harcourt, Imo and Abia State ( I noticed he picked up his pen and started typing)

VO: Will you be the only one studying abroad? ( When he asked this question I felt he was going to approve my visa, cus there was a lady he asked same question and he approved the lady's visa)

ME: Yes, I will

VO: ( He was staring at his desktop screen and was tapping his pen on the table) Have you travelled out before? ( When he asked this question, I knew instantly that I have lost the chance)

ME: No, I have not.


He picked up the blue paper and said the normal you are... then he handed it to me.

Please how do I combine that my uncle is into Real Estate and importation of cars and Safety materials too. In my first interview I mentioned importation of cars while in my second I mentioned Real Estate investor. He does the two but I didn't mention both in my second interview, I mentioned them differently ( I didn't say them together so it wont look like he is into too many things, and all same I think cus I didn't mention importation of cars and Safety materials the second VO might have thought I am lying cus I feel they usually have a record of all we say).

Please do advice me on what you think might have gone wrong and the next step to take.

Biko i need help oh! My husband's fee payment reciept is still tied to his old DS160 that we filled some months ago. He has filled a new DS160 and wants to attach the receipt to this new ds160. I've tried to call the non-immigrant visa office for help in fixing this problem but no one answers the phone or responds to the live chat. Please what can we do abeg

My wife: I went on a care Visit, I went to take care of my sick brother.

VO to me: Why did you choose University of Arkansas?

Me: I chose the University because the industrial engineering programs has a added concentration on Operations research and manufacturing which are my core areas of interest. Apart from being among the top ranked universities in the US( I sha chop mouth here)

VO: Where are you working now:

Me : I work as a specialist Engineer in my company name: I quickly brought out my reference letter to give him , he said don’t worry.

VO : what area of engineering do you work?

Me: Telecommunications

VO; Nodes his head? What will you be doing after your program:

VO: Keeps typing and typing and typing while we watch. Then the rejection line with blue paper.

I sha feel I didn’t answer my question as I planned due to fear. Almost 6 people ahead of me were denied due to that first question of travel history.

Is Well make una respond

This was the mistake I made in my first interview! Never ever bring out any documents if you were not asked for it

It shows desperation
And VO’s do not regard documents anymore, because they know Nigerians can easily doctor and forge documents.

You have a very good profile.
Something must be wrong from somewhere. Did you fill out your Ds form carefully by yourself?

ObodoNaija:
Guys please help me look into my first and second transcript. Let me know what went wrong. I will be going for the third one soon.

By your transcripts, I would say your profile and two interviews were good.
Of course we don't know what's on the VOs' minds and luck plays a big part too.
I advise you prepare well as usual and mention the same job you mentioned for your uncle in your 2nd interview. Best of luck this time.

Sorry for the delay, If you can get for Abuja, I'm sure you'll get it, even if it's the Korean guy, he gives approval to people with funding, rephrase the response you gave on how you got the scholarship, let it include the name of a professor in the department and how he was impressed with your masters publication/thesis and lastly add fasting to your prayer!!!, the VO no get joy

This is really strange!!! I’m really interested in your case & you are right about applying to Abuja for the surge date.

Just a quick addition: It’s starting to sound cliche saying stellar academic record alone is why one got funding. You could first said: you will be working with Dr blah on blah research as research assistant. Then add how your tuition will be covered by the prof’s grant.

Feel free to shoot me a message for more advisement. Cheers

Right now, I think it's a game of luck because i don't understand these rejections

It was Denial Surge in Lagos US Consulate. They would have notified us accordingly. I listened to very engaging good interview sessions today, but blue papers were flying here and there. I am mentally and financially drained! These people don change goal post. Phew!!!!!!!

For me, I feel there must have been a misrepresentation on your DS-160 form.... Just my opinion though. Cos the transcript posted looks to good to be rejected. something is not right somewhere.
