osadestiny:
I want to say I am really glad and i don’t know how to express my joy. Because what God can not do does not exist. God has helped me and I am really thankful to Akeem Ajao, for always encouraging me and being by my side. I am indeed grateful for my fairheart. For all of the advice he has given me, I was not worried again after receiving all of this advices and counsels. Now I know even if we had made mistakes in the past, there is still a way to correct this mistakes, we should never be frustrated or try to give up because of this. I know I already shared my transcripts on my first, second and third interview. I will be sharing the fourth one today. The VO that interviewed me in Abuja today was the same VO that interviewed me during my 3rd attempt. Just a month ago after I was denied. Visa approved
Visa approved Abuja embassy 28th June 2021. Fourth attempt.

VO: pass me your documents, he was kind of typing in his system. He said sorry hold on.
Me: with boldness I was not really smiling at all. I said here is my documents. There is no problem you can continue doing what you are doing.
VO: checked my passport, so he said what did you went to do in the Democratic republic of Congo.
Me: I went to the DRC for a missionary service, which I did for my church for two years. This service is required for every male member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint from the age of 18-25. Because of this service I was able to go to Kenya, Ghana and Togo. I then handle over my missionary photos and my missionary certificate for prove of the service.
VO: don’t worry I believe you. With a smile. So I see you are going to Missouri.
Me: yes I will be going to Missouri state university for my bachelor’s degree in chemistry and I am going to be concentrating on biochemistry.
VO: he checked his system and then he said how come so soon you reapplied again and how did you got this date seeing that there are no available dates?
Me: I found out that I don’t need to give up on my dreams, so after being denied on that last day. I went straight forward to purchase another mrv fee and then started my application again. So I had to request for emergency appointment. Because I came to find out that student going for f1 visas are been granted emergency request. So I had to do mine and I was given this date.
VO: nodded his head and then he said that’s fine. I see you have a scholarship of $5,000 how are you going to be paying the remaining fees.
Me: my parents have always been sponsoring my activities and they were the one who sponsored my missionary program and they will be paying for my education.
VO: okay what do they do?
Me: for my dad he works in a micro finance bank and he also has an automobile business in my home city whereby he deals on used Nigeria vehicles and my mom she is a pharmacist.
VO: okay so what will you do with this degree?
Me: first of all after the completion of this degree with the amount of knowledge I am going to acquire in this field. I will be able to pursue a career someday in becoming a biomedical scientist. Because i love to know how our plants and animals can resist diseases, droughts and other afflictions. I will then be able to carried out biological and laboratory test on tissue fluids so that clinicians can be able to diagnose and treat diseases in plants and animals.
VO: he kept on typing and typing for like 1 minute. He added my passport to the others and said I will be keeping your passport and I will be returning this i-20 to you, you need this at the point of entry. He thé gave me the white paper.
Me: I was like really surprise and I said thank you sir. God bless you.
VO: don’t worry you are good to go, just prepare your travel and always maintain COVID19 guidelines to always stay safe.

I left and I was really happy and was kind of confuse because it looked like a dream to me. I am really thankful to God and I can’t really express my joy.

Congratulations

Yes I have actually written the gre, toefl and gmat since my first interview the last time I went to the embassy was in January 2020 it’s almost two years now do you think that will help? as I’m not able to secure any form of funding and do the consular officers record everything said during all the interviews? And is the Biden administration a little bit lenient this time please I will be awaiting your reply thanks

NigPatriot:
To begin with, @ the bolded. You're always adviced not to take this as a do or die affair, or you'll most likely keep getting denials. Why consider suicide. It shouldn't even be an option. There are over 190 countries in the world, USA is only one option of many.

You have a good travel history, but from what you've said I think you've had various discrepancies in your applications - you've told lies at several points. I'll advice you give a last shot, and if you get another denial you can try other countries.

In your next application fill the DS-160 by yourself print it out and know everything you filled off your head. Also, if you can try to get some sort of funding from your school no matter how little. I also don't know the school you applied to, you can try a higher ranked university, Or take a standardized test. - this just reinstates your genuineness as a student.

The aim is try to change something about your application before going to apply again.

Of course I already applied to schools in Uk and Canada I’m not putting all my eggs in one basket

chibertha:
If I was in your shoes, I would forget America for now and face UK,New Zeeland, Canada or Australia when I am done with my course there I will then face USA for PhD.
In your case money is not a problem as you claimed.

Thanks I’ve taken the GRE twice the GMAT once and the Toefl once after the first interview but I’ve been unable to secure a scholarship I also graduated with a second class upper in accounting and finance from an accredited university in Nigeria the first interview I used a third party to fill my ds-160 form that was another mistake thanks for the advice I appreciate

Well the first time I got denied I wasn’t too knowledgeable about the student visa process so I made a mistake while filling the ds-160 and I think that affected the other two times that I applied and for work experience I had worked briefly with KPMG during my service year after that I took a position as an accountant in my family’s 50 bedroom hotel while also handling our food and beverage companies as we have about 5 bottling plants(factories)and a factory that manufactures plastics I’m actually on the board of directors because it is a group of companies in different Industries and we have plans on expanding our businesses in Nigeria I will also share my previous interview transcripts as I can’t remember everything that happened in detail thanks for your help I appreciate
quote author=abbeYhart post=102814765]In order for you to get a useful advice from anyone here. You may need to state out a lot of things we are not privy of. It is important you share your transcripts on the 3 times u got a denial. What has changed about you since the time you got B1/B2 visa and the 8 times you visited the United states? Have you overstayed any of the times you visited US?

You stand a better chance of getting a US student visa with MBA if you apply to a top school in US. Also, your work experience in Nigeria plays a big role. Are u in a middle level management position or entry level in your career? There are a lot of factors. It is expected you should have acquired some years of work experience before going for MBA. Share your denial interview transcripts.[/quote]
