Hello everyone, I got denied twice at the Lagos embassy and I have another interview coming up on October 17 at the Abuja embassy. Please advice me on what I need to do better this time and also how to respond to the "what has changed" question. I am going to the same school for the same course. First Attempt: Lagos Embassy: 18/08/2023 while he collected my passport and i20 he asked VO: where are you going Me: I am going to Austin peay state university Clarksville Tennessee for my master's degree in biology. VO: Who is funding? Me: I have a graduate research assistantship position which covers 100percent of my tuition. And my dad will be covering the deficit. He is an established business, the CEO of Bleep a 3star hotel with branches in Lagos and Ogun state. He has a staff strength of 80employees and makes an annual income of over 100million naira. He has made arrangements for a standing order to have $3000 travelled to my domiciliary account monthly for a period of 4months and this will cover my deficit. Asides this having worked for half a decade I have being able to save up for this career goal. at this point he took my i20 and started looking at it while I talked VO: where did you do your undergraduate? (Now looking at me for the first time) Me: I finished from the college of medicine university of Lagos, where I studied pharmacology in 2016. vO: do you have any friend or relative in the US? No I don't Vo: have you traveled out of Nigeria before? Me: No, I have not had any reason to until now Vo: what do you do? (Looked at me to ask the question but focused on the system - browsing with his mouse - while I gave the answer) Me: I am a senior research associate at Bleep where I enhance public health and wellbeing through active participation in community and school based educational initiatives. I also work with professors and doctors to carry out community based research Vo: Cuts me that's fine, how are you covering your deficit (still looking at the system, this time typing as well - at this point I felt he wasn't interested in this question as he was focused on the system) Me: like I said earlier asides my gra position which covers 100% of my tuition, my dad will be covering my deficit, he is the CEO of Nijis palace (repeated what I said before) Types for a long while, then the sorry response. Second Attempt: Lagos Embassy: 21/09/2023 At first I was directed to the same vo, I told the cgi but he said let the vo say that by himself. Then at the begining of the interview I was already asked how I am funding the program. He stopped and called the cgi that he should direct me elsewhere and I was place with the vo beside. Vo: Pass your passport and i20 Me: Good morning Vo: Good morning. Scanned my finger print again. Vo: I see you are going APSU for masters in Biology. Me: yes Vo:You have a graduate assistantship and deficit of about...$8000, so who's covering your deficit. Me: having worked for half a decade I will be covering my deficit that's my living expenses and also with the support of my dad. He is a recently retired branch manager of first bank with over 30years in service. He is also the CEO of Bleep a firm that operates in agricultural pharmaceutical and hospitality sectors. He manages two hotels and has pharmacies in various locations in Lagos. He is also a major supplier of palm oil to south western states in Nigeria generating over a 100million naira. Vo; what's your highest qualification Me: bachelors of science in pharmacology from the college of medicine university of Lagos in 2016 Vo: and the what year did you graduate Me: 2016 Vo; what have you done since then Me; worked as a scientific officer at raw materials development council in abuja for my nysc and worked in my dad's pharmacy for 3years before securing a position as a research associate at Bleep where I work till date. . Vo; so why a master's at this time Me; the second phase of the current grant research project by my employer on drug drug interactions will require molecular processes and technical skill set. This degree will equip me with this knowledge and also improve my research and technical skill set. Also having a master's qualifies me for a higher position as a principal investigator (I paused) where I will lead and conduct meaningful research (that's fine by gesticulating with his hands) Vo: typing Me; I would also like to mention that my dad's company, Bleep will be opening a pharmacy branch and I will be overseeing the establishment. Vo: you where here earlier this year Me: yes Vo; you have the same school, same course and deficit, (already trying to put my i20 back into passport) Me: Yes, Vo: so nothing has changed. Me: my deficit changed its 2000 dollars less Vo: how did it happen? Me; having deferred to spring, my coa lessened. And my GA covers my full tuition and also comes to with monthly stipends. VO: I'm sorry you are not qualified. I will appreciate your feedback on the above transcripts. |
