Basket came for an interview?Did you have the chance to talk with him?Crazy dude he is

lol I did but not for long because he came with someone. I didn't want to seem too intrusive

Boss,You havent posted your transcript since u were at the embassy today.. Abi u go take photolol

Walahi bro, i can't remember the whole thing because the VO was having problems with her earpiece. So she asked one or two questions after requesting to see my I-20, excused herself, asked another question before telling me my documents were in order.

I only remember her asking where I did my undergrad, how I found it and who's sponsoring my program. That's it

Note to newbies: Don't pay attention to those agberos that ask to have your passport photos stapled to your DS-120 form because you would be asked to detach them before you're allowed into the embassy. They're only there for your money.

Nope...I was the guy on a pink shirt and striped tie, there was a tall cleric man on purple attire 2 persons behind me.

Oh okay. I didn't see you then. I was right behind basketmouth until they called us in

darkola:
Good day house... My Visa was APPROVED today,6.30am @ Window 8. God favoured me after my denial on 8th December 2014.... As i stood in front of the queue, I shivered when I sighted the lady who denied me then (she was in window 9 and still had that hard look). I silently prayed that she should be busy till I get interviewed someone ellse.
HERE IS MY TRANSCRIPT...(not in perfect order pls, forgive me)

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good morning

VO: Please pass me your application documents and put your right four fingers on the scanner.
Me: Passed the docs and scanned.
VO: So why are you going to the US?
Me: For my masters degree program in Indiana University of Pennsylvania
VO: Emmm... You are going for Occupational Safety and Health( reading from my I20), who will be sponsoring your studies?
Me: My dad, my father
VO: what does he do?
Me: I told him where he works and also other businesses
VO: typingggggggg...Do you have anyone in the US?
Me: No I do not have any immediate family in the US.
VO: but do you have any distant relative, cousin or uncle?
Me: yes I do ( I guess he was looking at my DS160)
VO: Where does he stay?
Me: Alabama
VO: Why did you choose this school?
Me: Out of the schools I applied to, IUP is the most affordable ....He intercepted me(I had 2 oda points to give though)
VO: oh tell me which other schools you applied to
Me: Murray State Uni and Uni of Wisconsin, whitewater. (He nods his head)... In my mind I was like , do anything you want but don't return my passport to me)..
VO: when did you finish your undergraduate program
Me: University of Lagos
VO: what year?
Me: 2011
VO: So where do you work now?
Me: Told him where I work and what we do (project management ... Couldn't mention Consulting sef)
VO: pushes my I20 to me... You will be needing this at the port of entry. Pls go pick your passport on Friday. Do have a nice day
Me: Thank you sir( I actually wanted to scream)

He didn't ask for any accompanying document. I believe this was by the grace and favour from God. However, I plead that people should rehearse their responses well cos some applicants before me were stuttering while responding. I thank the whole house and I wish everyone else the best as they go for their interviews. Its our month of GOODNEWS.

Chill o...Where you the lady standing right in front of me (I was wearing white long-sleeved button-down shirt and black trousers)?
