Righteousness2:
It is not only redline it is purple line.
Biden cannot even tell ISRAEL what to do or what not to do.
The only thing that can stop ISRAEL from Rafah is if Hamas releases every Hostage and Surrender!

Biden cannot stop ISRAEL! He can only stop US weapons from being used.
Turning his back on ISRAEL is an act of fast forwarding the Destruction of Nomerica.

ISRAEL is the major back bone of America.
America super power Status over the years is largely due to the Relationship the Founding Fathers built with ISRAEL.

Anyone with a Spirtual eyes and Understanding knows biden is appointed for the Collaspe and Destruction of Nomerica.
Since he took over , America has gone amuck and Heading speedily to destruction.
From Lgbt to abortion to all sorts of evils and abominations, biden's leadership has wrecked America .

The redline will be when Nomerica turns its back on ISRAEL which is very possible with biden or anyone from today's democrats.

GOD'S COVENANT is Pretty Simple.
GOD'S Foreign Policy is Pretty Simple.
You Bless ISRAEL, you will be Blessed.
You Curse ISRAEL, you are Cursed.

Nomerica is on its way down but Biden's leadership might Just Hasten and fastforward her Collaspe.

What you even rambling about here? Nomerica….GTFOH

LagosismyHome:


It quite obvious why Nigeria haven't progressed much as a society ...... very quick to insult, attack and name calling .

I am never going to be brought to a level of name calling . To anyone who wants to engage in all that , go ahead .

You guys should calm down with the insults. Tensions are high now but when the embassy finally open and you need help with interviews...you will still need all these “gurus” help. Glean what you can from the thread and jump the negative energy.

He deserves this. In this lockdown where there isn't money

Visa updated yesterday 26th August and issued today 27th August.I also got a message that it is ready for pick up today.....After 35 days in administrative Processing.... Glory be to God...

congrats man

Predstan:


He’s one of them. They already know who will be approved or not.

Congratulations in advance

One of the reasons I made that earlier post. They go straight for the jugular. Overexposure is bad.
Only positive vibes on the thread abeg

Brown2Green:



And do you know how many of our predecessors have ruined things up for us right now??

Going to the embassy with fake SOA and the likes?

I really don't understand your point.

We are in a time far different where desperation needs to be put in check to keep the sanity of the system for the good of our future.

Anyone denied that needs help have to drop their transcript that's how it was done.

When you refer people to go back and read the thread from beginning. What will all these Gbas Gbo benefit them.
Sure there are old questions that should be set straight for DIY. But no need bashing someone when they are down just to prove a point. U grab

TWoods:


Of course, we’ve lied too much to force restrictions on obtaining a visa... go right ahead with your attitude. Seems to be working just fine for you

Sure...working for me. Yours seem to be working fine for you too, so I will say the same

TWoods:


Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it wasn’t built on intellectual laziness, lies and dishonesty either.

Rome can't be built on sanctimonious pontifications. Things has changed from the time you got your F-1. And the thread should be about helping others first. Some inane questions can be guided.

Just a point of order...but it seems we are gradually derailing the thread.
A lot of professionals are now on the thread dishing out disparaging remarks to people that just got denied without any soft landing. Even to the point of saying you will be denied again. Let's get things right.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Going through transcripts from part 7 for my own interview..I read the compiled denied visas. And their opinions were a bit mild than what will have now. They gave reasons for denial...tips for the next interview and words of encouragement.
And to those beating on people to drop transcripts it will be done on their pace.

Ogunwandetosin:
Good morning gurus, pls help me check my proposed visa interview transcript...

You can check your status..at ustraveldocs. Depending on y u are on AP. There's no specific number of days, but probably can't exceed 60 days

pronto543:
Hello everyone,
Here is my proposed visa interview transcript open to inputs and criticisms. My interview is coming up next week Tuesday at Lagos Consulate.

Tell me about the program you're going for.

I am going for Ph.D in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering at The University of Kansas (KU), Lawrence. I’ll be required to take a minimum of 42 credit hours (minimum of 24 credits hours of graduate course work and 18 credit hours of research). My project topic which will be jointly decided by my supervisor, Dr Bleep would broadly relate to surface water quality and transport.
I would take courses like: Physical, Chemical and Biological Principles in Environmental Engineering Processes, Concepts of Environmental Chemistry, Contaminant Transport, Water Quality and Modeling, Chemical and Microbial Hydrogeology.

What is Surface Water Quality?

Surface/Environmental Water Quality has to do with monitoring quality parameters (chemical, physical, biological and radiological) of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. Natural water bodies are receptacles of large amount of toxic pollutants from commercial and industrial activities as well as discharge of treated and untreated sewage and agricultural runoffs etc. In surface water quality and contaminant transport, environmental scientists/researchers work to understand the complex interactions between biogeochemical processes and surface water quality and in turn identify sources and fate of contaminants. Through sampling, real-time monitoring, chemical analysis and modeling and simulation of these processes and contaminant transport, we gain a better understanding of the ecosystem which in turn helps environmental lawyers and policymakers to enact legislations aimed at maintaining water at appropriate quality level for its intended use.

Why PhD in Environmental Engineering (Water Quality), I can see your first degree is in Agricultural Engineering.

My desire to pursue a PhD in the field was ignited in the course of my MSc research project where I worked on removal of dyestuff from textile industry effluent using activated snail shell carbon. While collecting wastewater sample, I witnessed indiscriminate overland discharge of untreated textile effluent into waterbodies – a practice poses serious risk to human and aquatic life and ultimately lowers water quality and place pressure on water treatment and sanitation facilities. The experience further heightened my interest in surface water quality and wastewater treatment, management and disposal.

Besides, according to a report compiled by National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in 2008, access to clean water has been identified as one of the 14 Grand Challenges of Engineering. My research project would likely leverage biogeochemical processes to improve surface water quality.

Why USA?

My aim is to become a reputed researcher in the field of Civil and Environmental Engineering and I plan to achieve this lofty goal by acquiring world-class education and sought-after skills through this PhD program. Making USA my top destination for my PhD program was a no-brainer due to the high level of ongoing research and funding of Environmental Engineering/Sustainability related projects in most top USA universities. Also, most US research-based institutions boast of state-of-the-art research facilities and renowned faculty who keep breaking new grounds in their respective fields.

How many schools did you apply to?

I applied to 5 schools altogether viz: NCSU, USF, Temple, UMBC and of course KU. I was admitted into 2 viz: KU and Temple, Rejected by 2 viz: USF and UMBC and waitlisted by NCSU.

How did you hear about KU?

I learnt about KU through extensive online research and checked program rankings on US News and World Report.

Why University of Kansas (KU)?

Firstly, my research interest on leveraging biological and physico-chemical process to enhance surface water quality and water treatment methodologies closely aligns of with that of my advisor, Dr. Bleep. Also, I had discussed at length on phone with Dr. Bleep about the research opportunities in her research group shortly before she offered me the GRA. In addition, I was offered $7k scholarship by the School of Engineering as one of the outstanding admitted students.

Lastly, KU is Kansas’ flagship University and a premier institution. It’s one of the 62 members of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU) – a confirmation of its standing as one of the nation’s leading research-based institutions. The Association of American Universities (AAU) is a bi-national organization of leading research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education. It consists of 60 universities in the United States, both public(34) and private (26) and two universities in Canada.

What else do you know about the state of Kansas?

Geographically, Kansas is located in the middle and in the Midwestern part of USA. It’s one of the nation’s leading agricultural states, a large producer of wheat and other grains, producing one-fifth of all grain produced in USA. Kansas' capital is Topeka, and its largest city is Wichita.

Who will be sponsoring you?

I was awarded Graduate Research Assistantship & Departmental Scholarship worth $51,991. The offer covers my full tuition, fee benefit and 12 month stipend per annum.

What are your duties as GRA?

I am expected to work 20 hours per week work on research projects that will lead toward the PhD degree.

What will this degree do for you?

A PhD degree from a well-recognized institution of learning like KU will undoubtedly increase my chance of gaining employment as a senior lecturer cum researcher after completing my program and returning to Nigeria. Also, I stand to gain advanced scientific knowledge through this degree and benefit tremendously by working with renowned faculty and through exposure to world class research facilities at KU.

By acquiring a world-class education and sought-after skills, I will be well equipped for a lifelong career as a reputed researcher and assist meaningfully in eradicating the scourge of incessant water-borne epidemic outbreaks in developing countries and my country, Nigeria falls in that category.

Did you write any standardized test?

Yes, I wrote TOEFL in October 2017 and had a composite score of 101. Also, I wrote GRE in August 2018 and obtained a total score of 315 and Analytical score of 4.0.

What are your plans after graduation?

I will return to Nigeria to apply for a senior lecturing position in a University whilst providing consultancy services when the opportunity presents itself.

Is this your transcripts bro...or your Dissertation.
Looks legit but you ain't got too much time to dish all this out. Put your strong leg forward and strike while the Iron is hot. Let the gurus mentor you personally.

2)What's the current appointment wait time at the embassy,any free appointment dates before July?

Lot of spaces available in June and late may at the moment

bracelum:


1. This one is not related to the transcript but it makes sense to know this so that you don't make mistakes while writing your research papers. The word is I'm

2. Talk more about the research. Give more specific details and don't be scared to talk about it until the VO cuts you off. It shows passion!

3. Hit the nail on the head in your first sentence. "I plan to join Bleep organization in Bleep role". Then you can continue with other details.

Overall, it seems you have done your homework with test scores and a good career path (that post-NYSC job shows career progression).

You'll be fine

And is it cheaper than the normal DHL rates without Yocket.
School in question Unilorin.

Instinct20:


Wow congratulations boss! I also applied to IIT too with a similar profile as yours tho, but PhD in Chem Engineering. I'd like to ask if you applied for MSc or PhD. And also when did you apply?
