My Transcript!!!
29th December 2023
First Attempt
COURSE: Nursing
COA: 33,000
FUNDING: NIL
SCHOOL: Houston Comm College
Lagos Consulate
Window 3 (middle-aged woman with beautiful green eyes like mine)

VO: Next person, please, after denying 5 people who went to her.
Me: Good morning officer, how was your Yuletide break.

VO: Blank stare without response.
VO: Pass me your documents
Me: Passed them with my study leave letter

Looks at study leave, types into her system and faces me.

VO: You have lovely eyes
Me: Thank you officer

VO: So why are you going to this school?
Me: Officer, please I'd like to make a few remarks before we begin.

VO: Don't make any remarks, I'll be the one asking the questions, all you need to do is answer.
Me: Okay officer, that's fine (frowning)

VO: So why are you going to this college?
Me: I'm aware I have quite a bit of an unusual situation, i'm going for a degree in nursing even tho I already have a bachelors degree, but I'm going for this program in this College to get some really specific knowledge and hands-on practical training that I can't get here in Nigeria to enable me transfer to the University of Houston for a Professional Dual Masters degree in Public Health Nursing with a concentration in Epidemiology, I have full funding from the school but will need to meet some requirements before I can transfer.

VO: Ohh you have an admission from the UofH
Me: Yes officer, I do?

VO: How did you hear about this school?
Me: My ex supervisor at the WHO recommended the school to me as he is an Alumna of the school.

VO: So how many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to 3 schools (mentions them), but I chose this college because they accepted to waive courses I had taken in my undergraduate degree program, and I was directly admitted into the Nursing program, this translates into completing the program in a shorter time.

VO: What do you currently do for work?
Me: I currently work with the WHO and National Hospital in Abuja as a Medical Officer, where alongside my colleagues, we provide holistic and therapeutic care and management to cancer patients, sickle cell disease patients and Haemophilia patients. As a rep from the WHO, I collaborate with UNICEF and USAIDS and UKAIDS to collate and analyze data of individuals from underrepresented communities and IDP camps across Nigeria and West Africa especially victims of Endemic diseases like HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Typhoid, and Hepatitis as well as victims of gender abuse and domestic violence, where we set up point referral systems to mapped out facilities to access health care (Cuts in), she was looking at my DS while I spoke.

VO: So how will you be covering this deficit.
Me: My father was required to demonstrate his ability to fund my studies before my I20 was issued, he's a medical doctor who lives in his own house and has a medical facility here in lagos, like me he also works with the WHO. He's also a serial entrepreneur and owns xyz investment limited, with my mum as the company's director, it's more of a family business. I'm not quite sure how many workers they have at the company but I think about 22 as the company is fully automated and don't require so many workers. Combined, they make an annual income of 310million, I'm not sure if this is the revenue every year but for their last Fiscal Year they made this amount. I also have a study leave that provides me 65% of my...(cuts me).

VO: Whats your post study plan?
Me: I completely blanked out, i mean we kept looking at each other for over 20 or so seconds (at this point i just kept praying in my mind).

VO: What will this program do for you?
ME: Well quite a lot, first I'll be coming back to Nigeria to work as a Clinical Associate with the WHO and USAID, this position will see me jump on-board the ongoing Typhoid vaccine introduction in Nigeria, we're currently at the data gathering stage of the project to assess and analyze the burden of the disease in Nigeria. Furthermore, this career path for me is a double edged sword as I could decide to focus either on Public Health challenges or on health care delivery systems bordering around Nursing or even both. This path also projects me towards managing my father's medical facility in future should he retire.

VO: Looking into my eyes, so you speak all these languages, thats a lot (smiling)?
Me: Yes officer I do (smiling back)?

VO: Avez-vous trouvé une petite amie ivoirienne en Côte d'Ivoire (smiling)?
Me: Je l'ai fait, mais elle s'est mariée avec quelqu'un d'autre à cause de la distance (laughing)

VO: You also seem to have a very nice LinkedIn profile and online presence (looking at her screen), I'll be approving your visa, take this white paper, it'll show you how to get your passport.
Me: Merci beaucoup mademoiselle, bonne fin de journée

VO: Au revoir.


I've been a silent member on this forum, but, many thanks to every single person who contributed to my success, God bless you guys abundantly. And I sincerely hope those awaiting a decision on their application, get a favourable response.

You are welcome.
I couldn't retrieve the mail you sent to me, you can re-forward it to tunjiakinlotan@gmail.com if it is still necessary to have my feedback.

Olunchukwu:
Okay thank you for everything �

Anyone knows how I can change my email address here? Each time I tried to click on the change email on my profile, I'm automatically logged out of my account. Any help...

You don't have to lose hope because the question MIGHT not even come up during your interview. I applied to just one school in the US, I was accepted and the rest is history as they say...

Olunchukwu:
Thank you because I was already loosing hope I applied to my dream school which I got accepted at. But a friend said I will not be approved because I applied to one school

To come clean is always better, why the lies though?

mcclintzwallace:
Hello Nairalanders.

Please Is there any way for the VO to confirm how many schools you applied to ?

Let's say for example you applied to only one school.

If the VO asks how many schools did you apply to and you say two instead of one.(also you claim that you got accepted by only one out of the two Universities you applied to)

Will the VO know you're lieing??

Guess you've sorted this, if not you can reach out?

Boyco:
Abeg i need somebody based on abroad or rather have a dollar account that can pay a 90 dollar application fee for me, i will pay the person back in naira equivalent. Pls its urgent

Please anybody going to Texas A&M University at Galveston this summer, or anyone that can assist me arriving at Houston. I'll so appreciate any form of assistance pls

Yes, I have. It shown "issued".
I'd even gotten a mail to that effect, so I wouldn't know why DHL is delaying?
If you can assist in any way pls?

Ebi1:
have you checked the status of the application online using the ds160 number code on the ceac site? what is it saying?

Has anyone experienced DHL delaying delivery of passport after approval, how can someone expedite it please?

Ebi1:

Your updates at some points were very handy and helpful to me, I can confirm this forum is the best.
I wish all prospective interviewees the best, in all of these pls don't forget the place of prayers.

With your tuition waiver and stipend, I wouldn't know why you'll be needing POF again?
Your case is settled, I think.

Gahneeyah:
Pls I would like to know how much to show as pof if I have tuition waiver and 24000dollars stipend. And the statement of account should be for how many months. Also would like to know if I can use a landed property as pof

Sure, but you must have them included on your I-20. If you plan to go with them and you've processed your I-20 already, you'll have to reach out to your school for an updated one.
NB: This post is to the best of my knowledge.

BECKY6240:
Are you sure about this response?
I have a spouse and a daughter and I'm planning to apply for the f1 visa. Does this means they can go with me if we have enough POF?

Ooh, if I had known this earlier.
Thank you, others can learn from this tip.

itoski:
Always send a reminder to the embassy.

I'll advice you switch to Abuja.
I was in similar situation before I switched. My EA in Lagos was ignored as I didn't even get a reject or approval mail and I was running outa time.
I filled a new DS-160 form and I was allowed to use my initial MRV payment

TheCvBank:
Hello bro,

Have you gotten a response from Lagos consulate yet?

I am in similar shoes as yours. My class starts July 5th and GA training the next week but I haven't done an EA yet. Was hoping to go with Lagos since I stay here. But considering Abuja due to the poor handling of EA booking of applicants here.

Anyone else can respond to this. Which consulate will be preferable for an EA for an applicant resuming by July 5th. Thanks

Thanks so much boss.
I really appreciate your response

Captaintitan:
The 3 pages o

Hi all, please my form I-20 e-copy has 3 pages, do I present all for the interview or just the first page where I'd signed?

Do anyone know of a contact to get undergrad and pg transcripts in OAU please? It's urgent

Thank you for doing the Lord's work

walerush:
You can now schedule May 2022 for a visa appointment in Abuja.

Good luck!

How do I do this please, can you lend a helping hand? Especially to not pay another MRV fee.

Themaths:
I would advise you to change your interview venue to Abuja if you are still trying Lagos. I know of someone who applied for EA in Abuja and was approved in less than 24hrs. She got a closer date which is next week and rescheduled.

How can I reach you pls?

UmmZayd:
No. Not at all

Not even seems.
Dates are in 2023. I was only able to schedule for Jan 2023, applied for EA and no response yet. All I've been seeing since I want to reschedule is April, May, June 2023.
I need help please, I'm resuming in the summer term.

johnjones243:
Hello once again,

Please I need help. What can I do to get a visa interview date earlier? All available dates seems to be in 2023.

2023 you meant.
Ever since I've been checking for rescheduling, it has been dates in 2023.
Like you said, I wouldn't know if the request has been granted or denied, as a feedback tab on my dashboard says my emergency request is closed.
I honestly wish someone here could help please.

Edriscoal:
I have the same issue here and I don't know if my request has been accepted or denied. but I did noticed that when I tried to reschedule ( present schedule is 12th November) yesterday it shows Nov 2nd, 2022 as available date , ever since I've been checking it shows date in 2013

Hello great minds!
Please I'm requesting for a help concerning visa interview.
I'm resuming this summer, and I'd applied for emergency appointment but I haven't got a response since. My dashboard isn't showing emergency tab again.
What can I do pls?

shawnmich:
I am resuming in summer which is next month, but till today no response so far.

This is a passionate appeal to kindhearted people on here, this offer meant a lot to me and I have a strong conviction that this program will give me the requisite skill and knowledge needed for my career path.
I need your assistance please, no amount is too small. I am giving my words that this fund is going to be used for the admission and registration purpose only.
