I said thank you Ma and left.
I was so down after the first denial but i didnt give up,instead i resulted to prayers and started looking for a solution and i stopped asking God for visa approval instead i started thanking him in advance. Luckily for me,one day i came across a post from facebook blogger who posts about students visa journey, contacted him,so he directed me to Nairaland and from there i joined many groups.Joining NL opened my eyes to somany things and that was when I realised that i literally went for my first interview without having the knowledge of how it works.I applied to only one school which gave me admission, never knew one can apply to more than 2schools .It was when i defered my admission that I applied to two more schools.
I'm grateful to God for leading me to the right path after the delay(I always pray with matt.7:7)
