TooMuchSauce: My Visa Interview Experience Today (6:30 am, Lagos consulate)
The whole experience was surreal, the V.O was smiling for the substantial part of the interview, I got so relaxed at some point that I had my hands in my pocket; it's funny because I was really tensed before the interview started as I was the first to be interviewed by the man and I didn't know what to expect.
This thread provided me with all the information I needed, so it's only right that I contribute to it's continuity.
Things I did to keep me sane before the interview: 1) I prayed 2) I took a deep breath every once in a while 3) I had gum in my mouth to ease the tension 4) I tried to crack a smile every time I had a chance 5) I didn't pay any attention to the interview of people before me because I didn't want anything to mess with my head.
Interview: VO: Hello good morning Me: Good morning sir, thank you. VO: So what school will you be attending in the US? Me: University of Texas Arlington VO: oh UT Arlington? (Briefly checked my I20) Me: Yesssir VO: Why did you choose UTArlington? Me: There are three reasons I choose UTArlington over the other school that I got admitted to actually; Firstly, I reached out to a particular professor, Dr. Ramtin Mandani who carries out research in the domain of nonlinear optimization of power systems and smart grids, and I think he was impressed with my test scores, so he agreed that I'd join his research group once I get on campus; and the research he is working on currently that borders around creating a mathematical model for solving large scale optimization problem is a fantastic research that I look forward to being a part of. Secondly, I needed a school that offers the degree as an open ended program that would enable me take courses from other specialization subfields of electrical engineering like renewable energy and vehicular technology and MEMS (He wanted to cut me at this point, I just kept going lol) Finally, the humid subtropical weather in Texas is close what we experience here in Nigeria, so...yes! It won't be an issue settling in and starting my studies (he smiled and nodded in agreement) VO: what programming language would you be using for your research? Me: Matlab (although matlab isn't a programming language per se, I said matlab cos I mentioned something about running simulations with matlab in DS160, so...) VO: Who will be paying for your schooling? Me: My dad VO: what does he do? Me: He owns a company that deals in importation of electrical cables and supplies across the country. V.O: Your undergraduate degree was in? Me: Electrical Engineering VO: And your masters is in Electrical Engineering too right? Me: Yes. VO: Did you have to write any test to get in? Me: Yes I wrote the GRE and the TOEFL V.O: How did you do on the GRE? Me: Told him my score VO: And TOEFL? Me: Told him my score VO: Did you apply to any other school? Me: Yes VO: can you mention them? Me: UNCC and MSU. VO: And you got admitted to all? Me: I was admitted into UNCC but not MSU VO: So what would you be doing after getting the degree? Me: I would be taking up a lecturing position at my alma mata where I currently work as a research assistant, then after working solely as a lecturer for five years, I would broaden my horizon by juggling that with providing consultancy services in the electrical power industry. VO: And you worked in NNPC for a while? (He saw it on my DS160) Me: Yes sir, I was an intern VO: was it like a summer internship or something, what was the duration? Me: It lasted for six months.
He typed for a while; and...... Well, you know the rest. Lol
Congratulations dear. Well I see confidence even from this transcript of yours 1 Like |
