Hello house. What's it about VO asking for how many schools do one applied to? Is it that applying to more than one school boost one's chances of getting visa approved? I applied to only one school and will be going for interview by June by God's Grace.Your candid advice,please.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Any Advice About Adron Homes And Properties Limited? by AmbassadorSam01: 1:15pm On May 09, 2021
Incognito403:
Adron properties is hard for you to market.

They bought one property in one remote area of Osun and are selling a plot there for 600k. Say wetin?!

As if that's not enough, there are many red flags in their deals. Firstly you have to pay them a sum of 1.8m if you want to build a duplex on the land. See the breakdown:

Legal documents- 200,00
Survey Plan - 200,000
Architectural Drawing:
-bungalow 50,000
-duplex 100,000

Structural Drawing (for duplex):
- duplex 70,000

Mechanical and Engineering plan:
- bungalow 50,000
- duplex 100,000

Building plan approval:
- bungalow 80,000
- duplex 120,000

infrastructure (I believe this is for drainage, water and electricity to the house):
- 1,000,000

supervision:
-200,000

Imagine spending almost 2.5 million in one remote village settlement and you haven't laid one block for foundation.

How can you market this to anyone? Just tell me how?

And their branding makes it worse. They make it look like they're targeting middle income (salary) earners. They'll tell you you can pay in piecemeal but this is nothing but extortion.

My advise; save up and build your property yourself. If you can't afford to save for a parcel of land or building now then go and invest your money in a business. Don't waste your time with these folks.

And, did I even mention that the land they're asking people to market hasn't been partitioned? In fact, they only cleared it and are building fence around it. So, if you pay now till maybe 2023 before you'll start building.

That one na deal?!

Anyways, if you need to dump some money somewhere for a very long term investment then they're not a bad idea.
This is so true and correct. I asked them questions about this when they were brainstorming and indoctrinating us "newly employed slaves"when I went for their interview at Sagamu in 2018. They couldn't give me convincing answer,all they were hammering is how you could make more than 100k per month if you have good " unrealistic" marketing strategies. To make it worse,they said we should go to market women at different markets to advertise the lands. Anywais,ladies with good "back and front", that can open legs for Ogas at the top will make cool money. I Japa after the whole scamming session at Sagamu.
The end of the epistle is that- I see scam in the "Lemon" company's deals.

fairheart:
1.You didn't do your home work well. And trust me, I have seen cases where overconfidence kill the chances of approval.
First, you disgusted the VO with saying it is a prestigious school. No need for that. I always tell my students, don't give unnecessary information. In fact, it is useless to start bragging about a school. It doesn't had any chance to getting approved.

2, Can you take a look at other schools you applied to? The right school on that chart would be other tier 2 schools, top ranking universities.

3, You were going for a school with a cost of attendance of $60K. I always say it here, always consider the reality of things when selecting a school. Unfortunately, you overlooked that reality. Your school is way too expensive, especially because it is a blank admission without scholarship or assistantship. More so, we are in a pandemic, with people source of income significantly affected and unable to make as much as they were making before the pandemic. What happened to other schools that are well-ranked but not as much as expensive? $60K a year, in my opinion and based on reality, is too much. If you had asked on this thread whether or not you should use this admission, I would have advised you against it.

4, Did you say you Mum makes 3.6 Million every month? Okay, let us be realistic. 3.6 X 12 (in a year) is 43M, less that your total cost of attendance for 9 months, one academic year! So, even if your Mum pumps in her anual income, it still can't pay your COA. She has responsibilities, other family members, etc. Come on. Someone that can confidently pay $60k in nine month to fund her daughter should make more than 3.6, except she has been saving over the years for you. I am sharing this because this is the angle the VO that interviewed you looked at things from. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked who does live with (wanted to know other family members your Mum support from that 3.6million). When the VO asked who your Mum lives with, you left out mentioning your Dad, giving impression she may be seperated or divorce.

5, You live alone but with your fiance, meaning there's a plan to get married soon.

I know your interview was less than 5 minutes or so, but you see those questions you were asked and the way you answered says a lot about your credibility for the F-1 Visa. He sense lies.

I see in your other post that you are disgruntled by the way the VO handled your interview. It is not the VO's fault; you caused it and you should take responsibility and go back to your drawing board and repackage yourself. You caused the instability and nervousness with your overconfidence with saying you're going to a top school, and the VO responded accordingly. The VO was not discriminatory at all; you gave him the sense of unbelief by your answers. You showed indirectly that your sponsor can't afford the school you are going, and on that ground, he refused you. He did what he was trained to do.

MY ADVISE FOR YOU
1. Do not reapply except you have funding or scholarship that reduces your cost of attendance. I am sure a remark must have been left on your profile.
2. Prepare to prove your credibility. If in your next interview question arise on your fiance, make sure you let the VO knows that you wanted to get this master's before you settle down and marry him, as you would not want to live apart doing your MS in the U.S once you get married.
3. Consider applying to other school that promises funding. In your other post, you said Stevenson graduate students get jobs upon graduation. That is correct, but so is the case for other school. Students who graduated in 400 nationally ranked universities also get jobs, especially since IT skills are in high demand. So, I advise you correct your belief. It doesn't have to be that school for you to get a good job. I have seen students from colleges in Florida get high paying internship with Microsoft, Google, and all.
4. In life, overconfidence can cheat us of what we want. Find balance in how you see things. I can sense you irritated the VO from the way the interview started. But that happens. I advise you find a balance in your next interview. Confidence can be negative if not checked. Find balance.
5. It is not the end. Strategize and go back.

All the best!

Hello Gurus:

I applied to only one school at US and got admitted though I've been tracking the course since 2017,I observed people's visa transcript mentioning of applying to two or more schools. My question is,does applying to two or more schools boost one's chances in visa approval? compared with applying to one school.
Responses and experiences will be appreciated. Thanks.

PotentialNurse:
Just put your school address
Thanks.
Are you sure I am safe with that?

More so, I just got the quoted answer below from the school's international office.


"Address Where You Will Stay in the U.S.  You cannot provide an answer of "not yet determined" even if you do not know the planned location of your initial stay upon arrival yet.  If possible, make a hotel reservation or other arrangement and put that street address (the U.S. Consulate may not accept a P.O. Box).  If not possible, the best you can do is to write "to be arranged with" in front of the name of the entity such as a school or employer that is your U.S. sponsor and its street address.  The U.S. Embassies have accepted this answer in the past as long as it is honest. Please note that upon arrival and any change address, you and each accompanying family member must file an AR-11 change of address form"
