Wow have they started sending invites for interview alright

thedsl:
Visa Approved at Lagos Consulate.

Interview was pretty short and here goes:

Me & VO at the same time: Hi, Good morning.
VO: Pass me your I-20 and passport. (Sevis receipt was there too)

VO: So where are you going?
Me: I’m going to the University of Iowa for my PhD in ***

VO: Oh really? Tell me about your course.
Me: Honestly I lost focus here and started talking plenty. Lool. He even cut me short. Chai.

VO: How do you intend to pay for your studies?
Me: I have a full tuition scholarship and monthly stipend. (I actually have a small deficit ($487) but I was advised to wait till I’m asked before volunteering the usual “and the deficit will be paid for by my mum” information)
He never asked and I didn’t say a word though I had bank statement with me.

VO: (Looks at his screen; I guess my DS160 is where he got the info from) Oh you’re a Dentist?
Me: Yes, please.

VO: How long have you been a dentist?
Me: Mentioned.

VO: So what have you done since then?
Me: I have since completed my internship (Housejob) and one year Nysc.

*Types for what felt like eternity. Hovers his hand over the green paper on his table and I’m like OH HELL NOOOOO. Then his hand lands on the white paper. LOL.

VO: I intend to issue your visa.. be ready in one week... bla bla. I wasn’t even listening again at this point lol.

Special thanks to everyone on this platform. The least I could do is come back and post my transcript. I skipped course details on purpose but I’m happy to give my full details to anyone who needs. I had actually been denied before (B1/B2) so I was a bit worried about that but it all worked out well.
Word of advice: Look the VO right in the eye and speak your truth!
Pray too, He listens.
Cheers, guys.


P. S: Can we still travel with electronic I-20?

Congratulations on your visa approval.

Please can you shed some light on how you got your full funding. The criterias they considered and your tactics. Thanks

500mill kwa.. although that can't return the guy's live but that's too much .. money isn't giving freely like that not even in Freetown .. if una over do una fit no receive kobo at the end of the day

How much would they have demanded? The problem with most Nigerians is that they are used used to suffering which have affected their sense of self- worth.

Thermodynamics:


but, I read here on nairaland that not all schools accepts a high court authentication, than it is always safer to authenticate at the embassy.

You are submitting your documents to uniassist. They accept high court and notary authentication.

Thermodynamics:


I don't live in Lagos, was planning to come to Lagos so I could authenticate my documents.

Do all immigration office have a notary agent ?
so I can do it in Warri.

You can do it in warri. Just go to any high court in warri they will do it.

NanaOne1:


Ones you pass your assessment, you are granted 'leave to remain' visa which allows you to stay in the UK. You only have to go back to Nigeria if you have not yet done your assessment and your visa is running out.

Hi

I can see that you are very familiar with the whole BA thing. I just want to ask, what are the requirements to join. I saw two categories on their website, soldier and officer. Do you know their basic requirements? Which will you advise to apply for?

Thermodynamics:
Hello, I want to go to the German embassy in Lagos next week to authenticate my documents for uniassist application.

Do I need to book an appointment before going to the embassy? or i can't just walk in there anytime next week to do the authentication.

What's the process like

You don't need to go to Embassy for documents notorization. Just go to high court or a notary. Better still go to passport office at ikoyi and use their notary.

Akomosule:




What if the fiance applied before getting married? Can he later ask his partner to apply as a dependent?

As long as you are later legally married, she is your dependent.

ralphtamtobi:

TheGuyFromHR:

Thanks for your info. About the NQF 7, I thought is for those applying for MBA? Are you very sure is for masters candidate?

Whiteball:
It's a bit lenghty so bear with me.I'm in my late 30's very very eligible for marriage but still single.Alot of friends in my circle are married but up close and personal stories coming out of their camp and experience av had in d past isn't encouraging ,so i just wanna have a baby mama(These lady's arnt loyal).

Pressure from Family n friends to settle but am not giving in. so this particular friend of mine(now a true definition of born again- i wont mention name) changed my mindset and promised to help me get a 'good wife material' through his fiancee.

I yielded and i reluctantly gave him d permission . I'v never met his fiancee one on one bc she stays in a different city and each time she comes visiting her guy am always busy but we speak on phone.She gave my number to her friend (my hookup) we got talking but i told her point blank that am a christian but not a born again like ur friend fiance -i club i drink socially but i dont smoke,to my surprise she told me same here! (hmmm red flag bc i was expecting otherwise since her friend was a born again). I told her no problem.

This week my guy's babe visited town ,i was very busy still but was able to meet them at d park when she was travelling back. she was already inside d bus when i drove in.
she came down from d bus to greet me since passengers were still boarding ,she's beautiful i must confess with nice curves but was wearing all those long born again gown and holding a bible .I told my guy despite leaving 'd world' for us he still got good eyes,we laughed and joked she told me her friend(my hookup) is prettier i said wow cant wait to meet her.

Something strange happened,i noticed an old time friend in d bus which this babe was boarding we shared pleasantries and exchanged number he asked if my babe was travelling with them i told him she's my guy's fiancee not my babe he complimented her beauty also.

A minute later she said she doesn't wanna travel with this bus which they have already paid for again, she will rather wait for d next bus that her spirit isn't in line with d bus ..
I was confused and asked her to explain she said she doesn't want to go wit this one bc she's having a strange feeling concerning d bus but i should allow my friend inside d bus already to travel with them its fine -It didn't make sense to me,if u think this bus will have an accident i should at least alert my friend to come down too she said i shouldn't worry.

My guy waited for her fiancee to catch d next bus while i left for work.

The next day was weekend and i decided to go visit another friend(lets call him guy B) of mine so we could hangout . It's a big compound with plenty room n parlour self contain.when we were about leaving the compound together i saw an eye catching figure come out from another apartment wearing bump short,transparent shirt that was revealing all her breast going to dry clothes on d ropes...Behold it was my friend's fiancee!!!.

I was shocked bc yesterday nite i called my friend to confirm if his fiancee finally got a bus and had arrived her destination he told me yes and thanked me for showing up and for my concern. Someone that was suppose to b in another part of Nigeria was in another part of d city ? . Immediately she turned and saw me,she was shocked n her clothes fell off her hands. I didn't say a word i just walked straight with my guy B to my car .

She ran towards me and drew me privately and said i should keep it privately she will explain on phone .my guyB confirmed to me that she came in last nite and that's her boyfriend apartment i refused to tell him anything tho.

The reason why she left that initial bus begin to make sense to me now.

I need advise please ,ordinarily i will look the other way but the guy in question is my very good guy and a born again christian engaged to her,weeding is two months away. The lady also according to him is supposedly a born again but this dressing stated otherwise... tho i didn't catch dem 'doing' oh.

I think you should just tell your guy that your spirit did not completely accept her for who she claimed to be. Advise him to tell the girl to move in with him, let them stay together for one month or more with him closely monitoring the girl. If possible they should move the wedding date a little bit further. If he is a very observant person she will find out her hidden agendas.

firstLadyy:

Hello
please make me understand, does it mean one is meant to pay 55pound extra charges if one chooses VI TLS. Make me understand.

mimilyrics:
User pay fees. Applicants pay for using VI.

Do you mean that applicants have to pay additional fee for using VI for their biometrics?
How much is the charge?

Boozah:
Hello nairalanders. I would love to share my bitter experience today. It all happened by 5.30pm. I had a chat with a seller on jiji and we agreed on a price. I got to his shop and inspectred and saw all phones were sealed. So a receipt was issued and it was written tested and okay. I paid through transfer and left thanking god i managed to get a brand new phone.

By the time i got back home, I tore the nylon as usual. However i heard a sound . I opened the box and saw the phone had flipped. I took out the screen protector, the phone was on. Inshort the phone was a refurbished phone. I felt sad and scammed. I called the shop and they start telling me sorry, that they did not know its refurbished .but i saw them all sealed in nylon. I later discover that the seal tape was missing. The imei sticker at the back was missing, lo and behold the screen was poorly glued. They promised to replace a brand new one. Now the question is how will i be sure brand new one is brand new one.

Nigerian crooks can get anywhere to get the seal sticker before opening it as brand new. I feel so stupid right now. All this happened at iwo road, inside a nice shop to fool ppl. I feel so ashmed. i paid 135k but got refurbished phone of 70k worth.

Expose the dealer bro. Give us his ID on jiji.

justwise:


His farewell is not needed, i'm very disappointed with his behavior and next time someone opens a thread in this section i will moderate it differently and by that i mean not giving the op preferential treatment .

I have never moderated a thread so strictly since i become a mod about 8yrs ago. I banned a very single person derailing this thread, i hid so many posts even when Danielhouston replied rudely.

I locked this thread when the heat is too much and reopened it when he was ready to continue, i have never done this before.

He threatened to leave if i don't ban those attacking him and i did that, after few days he came back with the same bitterness rather than continuing his thread then he deactivated his account.

So my question to many of you is..what a hell do you people want me to do for King Danielhouston?

Are you people honestly suggesting that nobody has the right to disagree with him?

More than 99% of people here support him and openly compliment his work here but still he got worked up by just one percent of people who did not share his opinion, even when i ban those people and remove their posts still its not enough.

If you are intolerant to alternative view then public forum is not for you.

You are right.
I think public forum is not for him

There something I have learnt in this life. The existence of critics. This set of persons are not creative in any way. All they do best is to criticize people's work. They are enemies of progress.

There plan is for you to quit.

The earlier you take note of them the better.
