Good day everyone my Visa got denied today June 19 and would like to hear your advice on what to change. Below is the transcript

V.O : Good morning
Me : Good morning
V.O : What are you going to study
Me: Biological Science at Alcorn State University
V.O : Why biology ?
Me : I lost my sister during childbirth when I was 5 and I decided I was going to become a medical doctor preferably an Ob-gyn doctor to help others so they won't go through the pain I went through
V.O : What is an Ob-gyn doctor ?
Me : An obstetrician and gynaecologist doctor
V.O : What do you intend to do with a bachelor's degree ? Do you know the steps to becoming a doctor and what will qualify you to entering medical school ?
Me: Becoming a doctor in the US requires two stages a pre-med and medical school. I have chosen Biology as my premedical course and would like to attend a medical school in Nigeria or USA
V.O : What grades will you require to attend a medical school ?
Me: A MCAT score of possibly 359 in the US and A bachelor's degree and good GPA in Nigeria
V.O : Your visa cannot be approved


I was on A presidential scholarship with a semester stipend and the V.O didn't pay attention to my I-20. I need help please I'm reapplying soon. ��

Hi there! I'm sorry but are you saying you wouldn't consider biology if you didn't lose your sister?? That response is not connecting.

You finished yourself by saying "Becoming a doctor in the US"... I feel you probably wanted to say " Studying this course in the US requires......."

Just my opinion

Positivity101:
Please I only applied to 1 school. I hope this will not affect me negatively during my visa interview. Any ideas?

If you applied to just a school and you probably did not sit for any test, it might affect

Please someone!! What time is it advisable to go pick up my passport ? And what documents do I need to pick it up?

Thanks

philipinho:
Yes o. The two of them were a bit strict that day. On my way out he rejected a man's visa and started raising his voice almost everyone could hear him. That was when I remembered I had to pee.

The funny thing is he'd allow explanation and still deny the person.. Congratulations to us once again!

philipinho:
Yes. Third woman from the left. We're you the one that bones face when they approved your visa, only to give the security man outside a big smile? Dark and tall?

Yessss!!!!!! I actually didn't know how to feel until the security man said congratulations!! Then I realized it was real ... And I knew that female VO interviewed you just by reading your transcript. She kept her questions short and simple, other VOs especially the black American that wore green head tie and the last man would drill you until you make a mistake

philipinho:
Just like Adedoja99 and Stella91, I was also at the embassy with my wife on the 8th of June. I think I met Stella91 on the queue asking her if she was related to someone I know (Eneh Jones Odeh). She was even complaining about her son that he doesn't like to sit down

Prior to our turn, I noticed thay the VO had already turned down 3 of those before us.
Anyway, Mine/ours went this way. (not exactly)
However wasn't up to 3mins


VO: Good morning
us: good morning

Vo: are you going together and who is the primary applicant.
Wife: I am

Vo: why are you going to the US?
Wife: to study at UTS, new york.

Vo: who is paying for it
Wife: it's a full phd scholarship (5 years)

Vo: plus stipends?
Wife: yes.

vo: you had already been to uts for your Master's, was that before you got married?
Wife: yes

Vo: any children
Couple : no

Vo: pass me your marriage certificate.


I gave her the 2 certificates... She didn't even look at them

vo: who is sponsoring your husband
Wife: his father

vo didn't ask for bank statement.

Vo: what do you do and what does your father do?
Me: i'm a christian minister and my father too

Vo: your visas have been approved, make sure you hold on to your marriage certificates in case you are asked at the poE.

Couple: thank you (I couldn't believe it was so quick, not even up to 3mins)
Vo: enjoy your trip


Note, none of the things / questions we prepared for were asked apart from the marriage certificates.
Our surnames weren't even the same on our new passports even though we got them after our wedding which we had this year (she hadn't done her change of name)
She didn't even check our old passports
And going to New York wasn't a problem.

I hope this helps. Thanks

Congratulations!! I'm guessing the white woman interviewed you

Congratulations!! Or am I seeing the wrong thing?

Olalekank:
Guy, I sent you a pm, can you please reply me?

Copy that

Jerrevie:
Hey congrats on your visa. I must say, you have an excellent SAT score why did you choose Morehouse? You could have had other top universities warring over you. But anyways, your hard work and work ethic will pay off massively wherever it is you are!

Well, tbh it was an easy decision for me cause I did apply to other top schools. First, I prefer attending a liberal art college and yes I applied to other competitive liberal arts colleges (Pomona college, Davidson college, Macalester college, Carleton college) but the painful part is I did not get in cause these schools meet 100% of every admitted students financial need. Probably they couldn't meet my need and that's why I didn't get in. For others I got into( elon university, saint Louis university, Louisiana state university and mcneese state university) I got little funding. Imagine elon university gave me $3k per academic year while Morehouse gave me $40k . I'm just another Nigerian na

Hello house, please i got admission into Jamestown community college, i did not do any English proficient test because it was not required this is according to school requirements. What can i tell the Embassy when asked if i have taken any exam

And also is Jamestown CC a nice school now somebody is hearing about iglobal thing

Bro, the truth is you might be lucky cause I came to understand that visa approval and community colleges are not friends. It's 50% 50% bro. If you'd be going, consider looking for the best response to "why do you want to get an associate degree and not a bachelors degree" or "what would an associate degree do for you"?
Remember it's still 50% 50%. Good luck my friend

Nitta08:

jolowizzy11:
congrats ....when did you finish highschool ? and if I may ask how old are you ?

I finished 2015. I'm 18 and would be 19 next month

So my experience.
Interview date: 8th of June
Time: 6:45

I got there 5:35, then they called 6:30 first then 6:45 next. We went through the whole security checks and all, man I was scared afff but I was over prepared so I kept my cool.
Got in and did the thumb print then queued for the visa. So quickly, people abeg apply to a good school and answer the question they asked you pls. A girl went before me and nailed herself. She did well until she was asked until she was asked to mention the schools she applied to ( iglobal, and 2 other universities that are not that bad) but immediately the VO heard iglobal, the VO asked the girl to mention the schools again, and that was when I knew she nailed herself. The funny thing is she wasn't going to iglobal, but she applied. She was also asked "did you take any exam"? She answered: I tool IELTS, but it was not required!!! I felt bad for the babe sha. So my own proper (in no particular order)

VO: Goodmorning (smiling)
Me: Goodmorning (trying to hide nervousness)
VO: so where are you going?
Me: Morehouse college, Atlanta Georgia
VO: To do what ?
ME: To get my bachelors degree in computer science
VO: how did you get to know about the school?
ME: it was introduced to me by Mrs ********* , who's the advisor at educationUsa, then I learnt more using Collegeboard big future and I used commonapp to apply
VO: Did you use this commonapp to apply to other schools?
ME: Yes, I did apply to 9 other schools
VO: Wow, you (I didn't hear the rest)
ME: Yes I applied to 9 then I mentioned (Davidson college and the rest)
VO: Davidson college? Where?
ME: North Carolina
VO: so why computer science?
ME: I chose to study computer science because I have a strong desire for innovations and would love to have a career in software engineering because virtually every industry in Nigeria today uses a computer, and a degree in this field would give me a career that is marketable in any business environment and with just one degree, I can work in the engineering field, medical field..e.t.c
VO: Good
ME: (smiling)
VO: Who's sponsoring you?
ME: I got $40k in scholarship per academic year and my aunt (VO cuts in)
VO: That's a huge amount of money (smiling)
ME: I was just relaxed at this point
VO: How did you get it?
Me: I took the SAT, TOEFL (cuts in again)
VO: What did you score on the SAT?
ME: I got 1430 on the new SAT
VO: That's a good score
ME: (I was just thinking about how I'll locate the pick up location)
VO: I've approved your visa.....

I heard the rest, but I can't remember rn. That's it broskis!! Thank you all

That Morehouse man just got his visa approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God paved the way, and I cleared the rest with my hardwork. Thank you so much nairalanders. Transcript loading soon.
