bigfrancis21: Thanks appreciate your replies

Thanks godG for your prompt reply. Actually to that effect, phone GRE registration no longer works. They stopped it around early this year. Now the cheapest and easiest way to register now is to have someone abroad register for you online.

busola78, I can help you register.

Feexo: House, I am very sorry I am posting my transcript late. I know how important it is to some people, as I also benefitted immensely from reading people's transcript. I joined this thread about 3 years ago and I have learned so much. I was for 6:30 appointment. We were about getting filed in when I could not find my pictures again. I left the line and those photographers were demanding 2k from me sensing my desperation. I ended up paying 1k, but I tried not to be apprehensive I needed my composure for the interview.
Once inside, I started observing things; visa issuing rate and the composure of interviewees.

VO: (holding my i20) so you are going to WIU?
ME: Absolutely(with a smile)
VO: How did you know about the school?
ME: I came across the school in late 2012 after I subscribed to the e-journals on the website of American Political Science Review. Subsequently, I carried out more research using: gradschool.com, collegeboard.org and usnews.com.
VO: You discovered the school in 2012, why are you just applying in 2014?
ME: I have been very busy with work, and I also had to prepare for standardized exams
VO: Oh! What exams did you write?
ME: GRE and Toefl
VO: pass me your score cards
(He looked at them for like 45 seconds and returned them)
VO: when did you graduate?
ME: August 2008
VO: (Counted down from 2008 to 2014 audibly) that is 6 years. Why are you just going for your masters and what have you been doing?
ME: I actually completed my NYSC in March 2010, so that makes it a little over 4 years. I have been teaching junior and senior secondary students civic education and government respectively at Bethel Group of Schools for almost 3 and a half years. Also, I worked with Cupid Haus Entertainment as the Business Dev. Manager for a few months after I left school in a volunteering capacity(he nodded his head), also, I worked briefly with Diamond Bank Plc, but I have found my niche in the teaching profession and I want to take it to the next level now.
VO:

ME: That is very true. I applied with my girlfriend and we were both denied(lamba... I applied alone). We were asked to appeal against the decision but we never did
VO: Why not?
ME: My girl lost her dad at the time, and I needed to be by her side(yet another lamba)
VO: Thats good (nodded his head). Are you single or married?
ME: (as a sharp Nairaland guy) No, but I got engaged on May 5th.
VO: good. What other school did you apply to?
ME: University of Oregon and University of Oklahoma.
VO: good. So, is this your coming with you on this trip?
ME: no, she's very busy with work
VO: So, who's sponsoring you?
ME: My uncle
VO: Has he ever done something like this for you before?
ME: Absolutely! He has been responsible for my education since my mom died, and he has been very supportive of my dreams and aspirations. In fact, I have been living with him since 1993( Final lamba)
VO: do you have his bank statement?
Me: Sure( passed it to him)
VO: (looked at the opening balance of 1.7 million, flipped a few pages to the closing balance of 4.8 million, the returned it to me) Congratulation! You can...... I know even hear the rest.
N.B
People posting transcripts should help others by being explicit, and desist from using bleeps and xyz school and stuffs like that. (My personal opinion though)

God, prayer, due diligence/research (this gives you confidence) and be optimistic.
Allah will grant the requests of those planning on going to the embassy on here.
