You guys that are going 4 Ʊя̲̅ interview pretty soon, I wanna tell You that do not expect the VO †̥ ask You some questions You feel can improve your chance of getting the visa. Instead, look Fø̲̣̣я̅ a way 2 drag or force the VO †̥ ask dat question like in your first 2 †̥ 3 answers make sure You presented yourself well and organise all your strong points in those statements. Fø̲̣̣я̅ instance,
What are Ʊ going †̥ do in US?
Correct answer like: †̥ study masters in .... @ ...university. Here You must be conversant ωΐт̃ђ your course, department and school.
Second questn; Why US?
Correct answer like; US Ȋ̝̊̅§ well known 4 its outstanding level of education ωΐт̃ђ flexible course curriculum, practically oriented, and finish it ωΐт̃ђ US degree Ȋ̝̊̅§ well recognised, respected and accepted in Nigeria and this will give You edge over your mates in securing your dream job in Nigeria.
Why Bleep university?
good research and laboratory facilities in your school and make sure You find a name of one professor in your department that You can say ure interested in his research coz this area of research Ȋ̝̊̅§ highly needed in Nigeria (our owns' country).......Chikena Ʊ don hammer the interview be dat and Ʊ gonna see that any other questions d VO gonna ask You will be within that answers...Your financial and every other docz shd be handy.
Make sure You are well prepared on what Ʊя̲̅ course Ȋ̝̊̅§ all about and what type of research You wanna do and a little bit of how Ʊ can do dat...Hope Ʊ get what I'm trying 2 say? Success 2u as I contribute M̶̲̥̅Ɣ own quota.


Wow,thanks a lot!but what of if d VO doesn't ask any of those Questions like Why US or d school? Cos both weren't askd from me in my 2previous interviews.

I just think there is somtn more than all the Qstns this ppl need that we don't knw,cos I was confidence enough,infact confidence isn't the Problem.Mayb they just enjoy wastn our money or d seen d game of desperation in us,cos me ehn,I don tire o!!!

Hey, you know the two schools. May be you get their names out well, someone may be studying in them. If they ask you anything, say the truth, so that you don't have to nervous. Truth doesn't bring nervousness. I believe you are good to go. Once Idaho's admission letter and stuff come in, chose between them and Missouri, pay ur sevis,move to the Embassy and be good.

What happend is I did an interview for fall bt was denied,so I only contacted my school for another I-20,and I totally forgot to ask them for another docs lik a new admssion letter,so it was still d same dated docs for fall that I took for a spring interview.
But now I av new docs,paid for another interview and I automatically got Oct 22 for another appointment,am so scared its too early and close.So scared I might be denied even entry for d interview talkless of being granted on any ground.Am thinkn its too close and dey can deny me due to that,cos I did one 18 Oct and got another 22.Pls I need an advice fast on what to do.is it safe for me to go.......pls advice me,its just monday and am pretty scared.

Regarding the English Proficiency. I emailed my school for waiver and here is what she said:

Hello Anthony, attached is your updated decision letter. In terms of a TOEFL waiver letter we don’t process these letters for any student. Your decision letter will suffice to give to your embassy for proof of full acceptance. In regards to the new DCF documents you sent to us they were received on October 12th.

That's what she said. But I know these VO dem no dey like hear say you no do the exam. Score might not matter. Just do the exam right?

House please I need your advice. On my I-20, it was beeen written and I quote "This School Requires English Proficiency" and under they wrote " The student has the required English Proficiency". Does this mean that they have given me a waiver in writing Toefl? Because the school told me that its not necessary for student from nigeria to write it and I was been given admission without the exam. So please I need u guys to explain in details to me what they meant by the sentences I quoted above. Thanks

Not necessarily, The VOs are smart, they know that from statistics, only about 3% or less of all international students who school in the USA actually return back to their countries, Yes, it may be tough at the first instance but believe me, if you graduate here in the US especially at masters level, na the companies go dey look for you. so the VO wants to make sure that even if you don't return to Nigeria, you'll be useful in the US...another point to make here is that, when they say "ties" many of us streamline our knowledge to only tangible stuff, NO!....working experience alone is a tie, having to talk about companies and industries that can employ you on your return is a tie, in fact, applying also to a Nigeria university for masters is a tie (shows you aren't desperate for their country) and pls for others who wanna apply don't apply only to schools in US, apply to schools in the UK, Nigeria, Australia as well, i tell it's a strong point for you even if na only one school u apply to for US...Don't stand like number "1" while answering the VO especially when it comes to explanatory questions, demonstrate! it shows signs that you know what you're doing even if e no click. Also, many people don't wanna hear this but it's the fact. Your command of English matters, If you dey throway bombs at the VO, you don wound am already so in order to escape from you he or she go deny you quick quick...poppylilly, make sure if possible, you get an admission letter sent to you by air mail not online printout. and get new documents such as new bank details, new sponsorship letter, new almost everything, modified of course, u dig?...I wish you all the very best and expect a shout of joy from you...I hail everyone here from my base in CA. grin grin grin grin

Yeah it means they are satisfied with your English proficiency, and so no need for TOEFL but as an amour, you can still take a letter or email printout from your school saying in clear terms that it was actually waived....just gather yourself together and go with faith, confidence and favor. all the best

mr swagger: Thanks @jimtosam for the encouragement and motivation. I am already doing that. This time I am looking for lower and cheap universities that is easy to gain admission. Most top universities in the US are very difficult to gain admission. Time is not by my side anymore, I have to be fast b4 dem go say I am too old to go to any university in USA. Thanks...
I'll suggest some good universities for you:
1) University of Tennessee.
2) University of Alabama.
3) University of Illinois.
4) University of Connecticut.
These universities offer full tuition waivers (you wouldn't have to pay tuition) if you're awarded a scholarship (called fellowship at graduate level) or graduate assistantship. They are also good academically.
My own two coins.
