Not Mine





Visa Status - Approved
Location - Lagos
Date - 17/4/2023.

My US Visa Journey

First I want to thank God almighty, for without him this wouldn't be possible. I also want to thank the various mock interviewers, Ayomide and team, Master P and Kwame, you guys are the best.

After filling my first ds160 without knowing much, u submitted and proceeded to CGI and chose Abuja, cos everyone said Abuja gives visa more than Lagos.
But there were no dates. My first date selection was in October and my Resumption Is in August. I didn't sleep most night looking for an earlier date.

Reached out to some agents for dates, some said 200k, another 150k etc.

Then dates became available in Lagos. I decide to cancel. Then the story of Lagos rejection rate started flying ard. I became scared and worried.

But I decided to trust God.

My interview ( The first lady, can't remember her window)

Me - Good morning Ma, I passed my documents before she asked.

VO - Good morning

VO- I see you're going for a PhD, what do you do?

Me - I am a lecturer at xyz, I teach 200 and 300 level students of xyz. I have worked for over 4 years and earn xyz anually.

VO - Why health Communication

Me - I chose Health communication because I want to become a Prof of Health communication, as well as because of the prevailing health issues in Nigeria like Lazza Fever. In 2022 Nigeria recorded over 172 deaths linked to Lazza Fever ( at this point she was nodding), and the state where I reside is among the states affected. This program will give me the necessary knowledge and research skills that I can apply to help fight several prevailing health and environmental issues in Nigeria.

VO- How many schools did you apply

Me - Three, University of xyz, university of xyz and Ohio University. I was accepted in two and on the waiting list of the 3rd. I choose Ohio University because Health communication in Ohio is broad in it's orientation and allows students to address topics ranging from narrative approaches to understanding health to Health message effects.

VO- are you married

Me - Yes

VO - what does your husband do

Me - My husband is a developer and he does ......

I saw her drop my passport inside the box and I knew my white paper was coming.

She brought out the white paper and my i20 and told me my passport will be ready in .... Days, pointed at my i20 to show my resumption date and I can't travel before then etc. Didn't hear other thanks.


P.S. - Please attend Mock interviews, they are very important and will prepare you for any question being asked. Dress comfortably, cos you will stand through out the process. Some pp wore slippers and tank tops and we're accepted. Be confident and audible. Finally Pray, God will guide you to the right VO.

P.S the bald man was at Immigrant section today ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Hello Chibertha, my fellow MU people.
Someone already forwarded it here, but I'll post it again.

In my last interview, I had no LinkedIn profile, and I made an error on my DS-160, which Barrister Ogbu noticed after I sent him my DS-160 for review. I built my LinkedIn profile and uploaded all my certifications. For someone with a long career, the VO wouldn't believe that I actually work with the said organization if I didn't have an online presence.

I was the third in line and the first to be approved. The interview started around 10:15 a.m.
ย 
VO: Hello.
Me: Good morning.
VO: Could you pass me your form?
Me: Yes! You can have it.
VO: So, you're going to Marshall University.
Me: Correct! I'm going to Marshall University for my Masters in Geography, and I will be taking a minimum of 34 credit hours with courses like bla bla. Under the supervision of Professor Jamie, I would be researching the impact of *****. (I stuttered at first but gained momentum when she said that she was interested in my research, so I continued and she didn't interrupt me.)
VO: Have you been outside the country?
Me: No! I've been very busy working in Nigeria.
VO: So, do you have any relatives living in the US?
Me: No! I don't. All my relatives live in Nigeria.
VO: So, you were here last year, going to FSU, and were denied this year again, going to Marshall University. Tell me what has changed and why you think you were denied. Be honest with me.
Me: I think the last time I was in Lagos, I was unable to explain my funding clearly and concisely. I have been awarded a graduate teaching assistantship that covers 70% of my tuition and fees and a $6,000 stipend to cater for my living expenses. I have worked for over 11 years and have saved 12 million naira, of which I will use part to cover my deficit.

VO: So what about your uncle? Why is he not sponsoring you again?
Me: I have enough money to cover my deficit; that's why my account statement was used. But he still promised to assist me, as he always does.ย 
VO: I think this school is very affordable too?
Me: Yes! I was offered a GTA.
VO: Are you married?
Me: No, but I'm in a committed relationship, and we plan to tie the knot when I come back to Nigeria after my program.
VO: What's your post-study plan?
I will be returning as the regional GIS head in our organization; we're the 4th largest in Nigeria. I will be applying geospatial technologies to combat energy theft and generate more revenue for the organization.
VO: Is the company private?
Me: Yes! Following the unbundling of PHCN in 2013.
VO: In the US, ours is run by the government.
Me: Okay
VO: Have you applied to Canada before?
(I guess she opened my LinkedIn and saw the Canada WES evaluation report because I saw her screen reflection on her glasses.)
Me: No! When I wanted to evaluate my transcript, I accidentally selected Canada instead of the USA, so I had to pay another fee and transfer my transcript to WES USA. (which she cut off)
VO: It's okay. Your visa is approved.
You will get an email soon. Enjoy your stay.
Me: "Thank you!"

I was just indifferent, and it was after I got out that the security guys told me to smile and said congratulations.

That was when I started getting emotional.
