Flawless1988: [/quote][quote author=idonhear post=53299837]In the spirit of giving back, we bless God for the success of our interview today. We acted on faith and prayed though it may sound foolish but God honoured our faith. We have already bought tickets for both taking advantage of Emirate Promo that ended Jan 18 while believing God for success at the interview which was scheduled almost a month ago. We are first time applicants, no travel history for DW, though I have travelled to Ghana twice before now.
VO: Good morning We: Good morning VO: Are you husband and wife? We: Yes VO: Why do you want to go to the US? DW: For childbirth and vacation Me: For exam and witness the birth of my first baby VO: What exam is that? Me: I mentioned it, he inquired to know the full meaning after just giving the acronyms VO: Okay, where do you do? Me: I am the so so and so of XYZ Plc (hypothetical name), he interrupted and asked what my day to day activity looks like. I explained, I think he felt I know what I am saying (he was impressed) nodded and asked further questions in my line of work. VO: How much do you earn per month? Me: I earn Xk per month apart from other benefits and bonuses? VO: Turned to DW, where do you work? DW: I work as ZYX, and I do so and so. VO: What course did you study for your bachelor degree? DW: I studied accounting. VO: Are you chartered? DW: Yes, I am.....I have both ACCA and ACA VO: That is cool, how much do you mean monthly? DW: I earn Zk monthly aside quarterly bonuses. VO: Okay, how much is your budget for this trip, and how much have you saved? DW: A little above 12k dollars cos I will be staying with my host during the period of my stay, and I have saved about 10k dollars. VO: 10k, how do you intend to meet up? DW: I will be travelling sometime in May, and I should be able to have saved up more before then. Me: We have doctor’s correspondence here, if you would like to see. VO: I was about asking for that, give me three documents….Budget sheet, Doctor’s correspondence and hospital bill showing the amount the childbirth is gonna cost you. DW: We passed it to him, we also have the bank statement here. VO: Oh, no need, just those three documents. Why this doctor and hospital? DW: Well, based on host’s (a relative – DH’s aunty) recommendation and proximity to residence, and online review. VO: He went through the correspondence, and the budget sheet very well. VO: Congratulations, he gave us the white paper, and noted that we should go with all documents especially doctor’s correspondence as it might be checked at point of entry explaining that people were not allowed entry into the US cos they don’t have the documents. We were so happy….Glory be to God.
The VO has turned down so many before us, if not up to 15, he sounded tough, drilled people and asked so many questions and we were like praying not to have him to interview us, but lo and behold, we were sent to him. DW said God will favour us, and we believed, went to him and God did it. Good day. Please I sent a DM to you, I'll like to see a sample of your budget sheet. I need to build something for the interview |
My Good people, I'm planning a missionary journey with my DW ( LO due early July). I intend to use Dr. F and Oakbend Hospital Houston. Any suggestions for the best accommodation to use. I'm so concerned about proximity and cost. Also, how much should I mention to the VO as my budget. Thanks |
