hi everyone. please my sister has been ntrying to get an appointment for visa interview, how can she go about it? thank you.

The GCU rep is very nonchalant i must say. i had the same experience a year ago and that put me off

Elizabeth28:
That school is so slow.
Guess they have met their quota for students cause it beats me how their response rate is.

A friend applied for MSC Renewable energy and up till now over 20 days no offer, he contacted the rep and the rep said he would check on the application and revert.
Guess what,the rep has not even said anything till now and no form of communication from the school,if not that the friend applied to University of Portsmouth as well and has gotten offer and is just about to pay tuition,imagine what his fate would have been because of Coventry.

Like 5 days but that was because they hadn’t started issuing it when I sent my documents. I got the cas the day after my interview

bucade11:
How long does it take to get it after sending your documents? Do they conduct interview for you?

bucade11:
How is your CAS processing? Have you gotten your CAS?

Please be advised that a decision was made on your visa application today. Your documents and visa decision will now be returned by commercial courier to the visa application centre where you applied (unless you paid for the courier fee in which case it will be returned directly to you). This can take a few days and be subject to unforeseen delays so please wait for the visa application centre to advise you when your documents and decision are ready for collection.

Hi congratulations! I'm also going to Missouri state!

jaiye022:
Hi guys, good afternoon.
My cousin sent some transcripts to use to prepare for my interview like 2 months ago. I havent been able to stop reading since. Every time i read the transcripts i picture myself typing my own testimony here.
Got my visa approved yesterday morning at Abuja Embassy 7:30am batch. So unlike Lagos and being a Thursday the crowd wasnt that much. We got to the first security check outside, after checks i headed to join another queue where you submit your passport so they can tag it. From there through another security check to another queue to do biometrics. After the biometrics i joined the interview queue and sat accordingly. My heart was beating so fast and my body shivered. I asked God to cover my errors and mistakes and give me favour with the VO. Time to enter for interview, window 7 was a woman dashing denials like handbills, my heart started panting again while i prayed i shouldnt go to her. She denied like 5 people in my front without even giving them time to state their case. the guy in window 8 was more patient with applicants so i prayed to go to him but as God will have it i got the woman. Here's our conversation

VO: Pass your passport and i20
Me: Good morning (as i passed them to her)
VO: Good morning. Why Missouri State ?
Me: (In my mind i was okay straight to business) Missouri State University is one of the few schools that offers Defense and Strategic Studies to civilians and their extensive curriculum aligns with my research and career interest
VO: and what is that?
Me: (Didnt hear her well so i asked again)
VO: Your career interest, what is it?
Me: I want to be a member of the Nigerian Army and this course will help me achieve that
VO: (Types for a while on her computer) How many other schools did you apply to?
Me: 3 others. Georgetown University, George Mason University and University of Texas at El Paso
VO: How many others gave you admission
Me: No other yet just Missouri State University (maintaining eye contact)
VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: My uncle and his wife
VO: What does he do?
Me: He owns so so and so
VO: Do you have his statement?
Me: Passed it to her
VO: (Looks at it intensely) Is this his company's statement?
Me: Yes it is, they are paying for my studies
VO: Spell his name
Me: (Spelt it)
VO: How long as he been sponsoring your education
Me: Since 2004 when i got in secondary school
VO: We are going to critically look into these account statement and if we find anything incriminating you will be banned forever from entering the US. Do you give the permission to go through this?
Me: Yes please (smiling already)
VO: (Passes me white paper and my i20)
Me: (Picked them) what do i do next?
VO: Its written on the white paper. Have a nice day.
Me: Thank You

I was very confident that my passport would not return home with me, i froze at a particular point and in my mind i knew i had messed up but God showed up for me and covered my error and mistake. thanks to everyone that contributes to this page, please dont stop. i got a lot of encouragement from these transcripts. I wish future applicants success in their interviews. its not as hard as you think just be thoroughly prepared. I will advice that if your applying for student visa do it in Abuja, that is an advantage already cos its like they give preference to students. All the students i saw got their visas yesterday.

Thank you.

Brown2Green:
It is very conspicuous!

The VO will spot it and ask the reason.
So you must give a valid response. .

Since the cash surpasses your fee , you are advantaged.

The cash flow has been a lot. Its normal for the account. I'm just worried that the returning half the money just before printing the SOA would raise some hackles.

Brown2Green:
Cash Flow.
Within the 6 months.. How has been the cash flow?

Hello everyone, please I have a question about the statement of account. If the money in the account is twice the school fees but half of the money is being taken out and returned right before the SOA is printed, so the actual balance is still twice the fees.

I hope this doesn't come as a red flag to someone viewing the account.

My mum is actually providing the funds but we decided to use my sisters account as that sees more financial activities compared to my mums. Thanks for the information

naira0:
Beyond scaling thru visa hurdle, the bigger challenge is avoiding going out of status (being an illegal immigrant) due to insufficient funds and inability to pay up for your program. Think deeply on the future before you.

To answer your question, anybody can be your sponsor, but once the identity is not your parent, you have some job to do convincing your interviewing officer.

Santé

Thank you for the feedback. The SOA is genuine. I'm about to schedule an appointment so I want to be sure.

sharwama:
Yes yes yes as long as the SOA is genuine. There are several transcripts of approved visas in here, where the sponsor was a sister/brother/aunt/uncle to the applicant. The question is: why would they want to invest such a huge amount on you?
May the force be with you!

On the topic of sponsors, please can someone's elder sister be used as a sponsor without issues? Thank you.

100kobo:
If you have a very good reason to switch, then go ahead and be prepared to talk about the reason. Anybody can be your sponsor, but parental sponsorships readily fly with the VOs.

Hi guys. Please after filling out the DS-160, which method of payment is advisable for the visa application: online payment or at the bank?

Thank you!

Thank you. I guess the text of the reply didn't emote the intentions. Do have a lovely night.

Johnolukolade:
I'm sorry if my response was inappropriate, I ignored the other part basically cos I'm not going to MSU. Anyone who's going would definitely reach out to you. I'm sorry once again if I was off-guard.
I wish you luck brother.

I am aware of every step I have taken, thank you very much. But one can never be too careful. I also saw that you ignored the part where I asked if anyone is going this fall. No one knows it all. I believe I was quite reasonable with my request. If you can't answer it appropriately, then don't. Thank you.

Johnolukolade:
When I see questions like this, I wonder about several things and it's funny to me in the long run. You applied to a school, paid the app fee, exhaustedyour airtime to ensure your profs sent in your LOR in time... and you come here to ask if it's a red flag on the last process. You definitely should know better!
To answer your question, MSU isn't a red flag to the best of my knowledge but always put in a little work to avoid a waste of everyone's time on questions like that.

Best!!

Hi everyone. I was granted admission into Missouri state university. Is anyone going this fall? And I hope its not one of the so called red flag schools.

Thank you

Thank you very much. Hopefully by next week id be able to do that. quote author=sharwama post=77475832]
I checked last night,there are several available dates for May or even April. June and July seemed pretty packed up but you can squeeze yourself. However since you prefer before June, go for your MAY. Be prepared and may the force be with you.[/quote]

thank you very much for your reply

Hello everyone. I’m very new to all this so I need a bit of guidance. I’m currently searching for schools in the USA to get a masters degree in construction management or anything similar. I have done the TOEFL and I’m currently preparing for the GRE. What I need is a study partner for the GRE preferably in lagos and Information from anyone who has been through this process. Thank you
