Thanks man....so u mean I should go alil theoretical wn explaining to d Vo about these Pre-requisite in terms of the quant , analytical and instrum ..aspects and applications of Xtry ?, .
The most important is prayer and boldness...
(dtz d spirit)
@ Yvette, thanks a bunch ,....I'll edit n digest..bt most importantly I'll pray hard for Mercy!

Anthonymighty: Hello guys.....I don baff, rest and chop better food from mummy, come sleep small wake up because I have been on 7 days fasting and constant prayer since 20th till today. And it wasn't in vain. Now I can tell you how everything went. But first of all I want to say a big thank you to Dr. imperiouxx. You have been a wonderful friend to everyone here. Yvete, mamacita, kpolli, mr Chris, and everyone who has supported everyone in prayers and everything generally. Here is how my interview went

I got there by 5:30 i drove from ikorodu to V.I the road was free because I left the house at about 5:00 am. My time was for 8am so I sat down (100 naira for seat) zooooooom! After biometrics I sat down for my turn. Counter A 118 flashed and that was my number and I went to the VO that I have been praying to God to take me too since I entered there because I accessed the 3 VOs....counter 1 was friendly and issuing visa if you can defend yourself, the 2nd VO was asking too many questions and if you answer all well, you get the visa if not he will refuse u. The 3rd one was just denying people. So I went to the counter 1 when I was called.

Me....good morning sir
VO.....good morning...passport and application please
Me...I passed them to him (while passing it) I said compliments of the season to him....I think he didn't answer or maybe he did but I no hear because I dey para..
Vo...he scrolls thru my passport and starts typing. So where in the united states are you going too
Me... Boston Massachusetts
VO...which school and course
Me...Neu and bachelors in information technology
VO...when did you finish secondary school
Me....I finished in 2003 and I went for a diploma in computer engineering, maintenance and repair....I just try explain all the gaps sha
VO...what's your highest degree...
Me....OND in computer science at Laspotech
VO....when did you graduate
Me....last year and I worked at quest engineering ventures for 1 year (wanted to show him the letter from quest ventures) but he said don't bother..
VO....what do you do there....
Me...I repair computers, assemble them for customers, maintenance and General IT consultant.
VO....did you take SAT
Me...(here I used Yvete's expo) I have taken college level classes at Laspotech and I sent my result to my school before they admitted me because they were impressed with my GPA (I stretched my hand to show him the transcript too but he didn't look at it)
VO.....do you have any relative in Boston
Me....no I don't
VO....that means you are going to live in the school campus
Me....yes sir
VO...and who will pay for all this
Me.....my dad
VO....what does he do
Me.....he is a retired staff of NNPC and the CEO of Godwin Cars Limited
VO....ok he sells cars
Me.......yes
VO......can I see his account statement
Me......yes ( I gave him the statement and he flipped through then returned it back to me and the next thing I heard was.....pickup your visa in 3 days time. He kept my passport and docs and handed a white paper to me containing steps on ow to get my visa with a green tag already given to me before my biometrics......that was how my interview went o......

All I have to say is...God was really there for me....I didn't take a ny test, I was lucky because that was the only fear I have been thinking about for long because the next toefl or sat date was after my school's resumption date so I just thank God because so many people were denied because they didn't take a standardize exam. Please it is important you take it o..I only used my experience which I gained here to scale thru that question when I was asked about SAT.....Yvete God bless you o......I dey go koko concert tonight to go pop champagne....because thru out my Xmas season I no shayo because I was fasting and rehearsing real hard. Thank you everybody in the house....Please the key to your visa is prayer and hard work..I prayed hard, fasted and abstained from so many things because of today and it finally worth it. All the gurus in the house .Keep up the good work....Boston, MA...here I come o....na too dey find cheap ticket now be that o.....

Imperiouxx oya burst some champagne for floor mehn....I wish all those who are yet to go for their interview success. Go and get your visa with full confidence and faith.

@ Anthony.... Yemdeb... I.Joan..Congratulations Guys, your succeessful interview's reminds me of how i felt when i got my F-1 visa back then...I'm really impressed the way this thread is helping people i wish our 9ja leaders can learn from this thread. we cant do nothing being seperate we all have a role to play to make our lives better...those guys making time out here to help prospective students i hail una oooo y'all kno urselves God Bless u all...wishing y'all a safe trip here and the best of ur studies here also ..Dueces

mayorxyz: Alright, thanks for your contribution, I really appreciate

Snazzygirl: One important thing I have learnt on dis thread is ...it's not enough reading and digestin everything here, it's very important to think, pick d important infos, use d infos as guidelines to compose ur answers, pray VERY WELL and be confident.

I got 2 d Lagos embassy @ 6:28am, I joined d long queue of other 6:30 applicants. I did all d checks, biometrics and finally settled down waiting for my no to be called 4 d interview. While sitting, I decided to study d V.Os to sharply identify d harsh ones. I really tried to observe but I couldn't concentrate, all I could think about were my practised answers and my fast heartbeat. My number was called, I muttered a quick prayer and walked to window 6 (v.o is a lady) and gave her my docs..... *this is where divine favour started...she asked d questions I wantd her 2 ask*

V.O: Why do u want 2 go to d u.s?
Me: For my pre-medical study.

V.O: Have u applied to any medical school?
Me; Not in d U.S, I applied to xyz university, Singapore campus but my medical colleges admission test(MCAT) score wasn't that great and that's why I applied to this college so as to boost my credentials and improve my mcat score

V.O: Ok. Do u av any relative in Houston?
Me: Ɣξ§, my uncle

V.O: will u stay with him?
Me: Ɣξ§ , for about 2 week before I get my accomodation and settle down because this college doesn't av student accomodation.

V:O: who will sponsor u?
Me: My dad

V.O: what does he do?
Me: told her (I painted a very lovely picture).

V.O: Do u av a Bachelors' degree
Me: Ɣξ§, B.Sc Physiology 4rm abc university.
She typed for some mins and said ur visa has been approved, pick ur documents up @ ikeja. * I was in shock 4 some seconds bcz she didn't even ask 4 any document, I was so happy,I said thank u lyk 2tyms and left ....I was so tempted to kneel down there and say thank u Lord*

There's one major thing I av 2 say ...PRAY WELL.

Yvete: Wow! Really? ... I'm jealous . My job conditions with my employer includes part of my Grad school tuition and future sponsorship after 3 years with them so I just chilled (bad idea). I've been disappointed many times with that thingy.

walex57: Don't give up on it just yet dearie, even as you are already in the states you can still use it to change your status from F-1 to a PR....well me still play am ooo even though i don dey yankee maybe until the STEM issue is resolved in the senate...i don't even know who to support on that one cos both affects me..if they cancel Visa lottery and give the green cards to STEM major i go get am and if they decided not to...i can still play the lottery and change my status...if it clicks!.....

Yvete: You're right. Honestly, I gave up on it last year. Didn't play this year too though Ive seen people win it here in the US. I don tire

ronakoks: I was at abuja cousulate on monday. I was denied the F1. Was interviwed by one very young, deceptively prettey and calm VO at window 6. They say she's new at the embassy and actually she was taking her time and asking many questions and not really issuing F1, like someone who is trying to be meticulus cos of her inexperience. I hope she's not an intern or somethin at DHS cos there was a point durin my interveiwe wen another young lady came to her boot as if to come check on her to see how shes doin on the job and they were looking at my i2o and bank statement and smiling and nodding there heads at each other and sayin somethin to each other as if in the process of learnin or something. I felt really sad cos i was kinda prepared for this interview. At least i really prepped for the main F1 questions. I cant even totally recall how everything that went down.


VO: Good morning
Me : Good morning Ma ( Even though i think this girl is my age or even younger)

VO: So you want to go and study in the US?
Me: Yes at Xyz State university...

=========================================================================================================================================================
cant really remembered conversation here but it had to do with the course im going for. Msc biology/biological sciences. And i told her My concentration is in cell and molecular biology. I think i stuttered a bit here.
======================================================================================================================================

VO: What kinda research will you wana do in cell and molecular biology?
Me: (was slightly taken a back here but my brain quicky triggered and i just quickly taught of somethin)...... research like Elucidation of the molecular and genetic basis for the developmet of resistance by HIV virus to Currently available therapies ...

VO: nodds and said there are many schools in the US were u can do biology. Did u consider other schools in the US?
Me: Yes, I applied to WTAMU at canyon TX,.. ISU at pocatello, ID and UL at monroe, LA

VO: so who's payin for your study.
Me: Mum

Vo: wat does she do?
Me: bla bla bla

VO: do you have a letter or something from her
Me: Yes I passed her bank statement. ... and she lookeed at it thoroughly, looked at i20 too very well to see how much was balance on statement and cost on i20
(at this point i was starting to have some hope cos the student she interveiwed b4 me didnt even get to the point of sponsor. but I was wrong cos she started with another round of questions)

VO: So were did you do ur undergraduate
Me: Univ of Benin

VO: your major?
Me: Microbiology

VO: When did you graduate? ( this is the part i was hoping wont come up)
Me: finished my final exams in nov 2007 and was awarded degree in june 2008

Vo: What have you been doin since then?
Me: NYSC from 2008 to 2009 and starte workin at my current job in 2010

VO: Where do u work and wat do u do there?
Me: Work at UNi.... of .. teachin hospital.. I work at the HIV treatment center at Uni.... teachin hospita,.. I bla bla bla

Vo: if a pregnant woman is tested hiv positive, what do u do to her?
Me: Explained the normal PMTCT proceedure in our facility to her ( Im not sure if shes satisfied or not.. she just keeps noddin and noddin to and makin eye comunication to the other lady in her boot)

VO: did you do any test to get admission to this school?
Me: Yes. took the gre.. i passed her my score print out ( she looks at it thoroughly and types to check something on her system)

Vo: keeps typing... and asks did you consider any school here in Nigeria
Me: No

Vo: How about any other country?
Me: yes, UK.. cosidered the university of Hull. But curriculum isnt very practical and research oriented because its mainly just course work and this wont provide me hands on learning that i need.

VO: ok and nodds

Vo: Uhmm let me give u ur docs back

she passes my gre and bank staement back and for a split second i though she would just fold my ds160 with my passport in to her box, but eventually she pulls out the white paper that contains section 214b US imigration bla bla bla and said I'm sorry i cant issue u a visa today.



I have paid another visa fee and booked another appointment. Fortunately, these days there are so many available dates on the portal. I was able to book 3rd of january for Abuja. But my school resumes on the 7th so i made an emergency request. On a second thought, I'm considering scheduling my next interview for lagos embassy as there are closer dates for lagos. Moreso, I dont know if it would be better for me to go to lagos embassy since the VO that interviewed, me initially is in Abuja and not Lagos. Cos, even though, I most likely would be interviewed by another vo in abuja, I have a feeling these VOs work together as a team in their office and another VO might be alittle hesitant to revert on the decision that a close colleague has made so recently. But then, when i consider the fact that I have been there twice already( first time SEVIS fee hadnt reflected), and i've heard and know the pattern of question the VOs in Abuja are asking... I would want to go back to Abuja.


you did well just pray for GOD'S FAVOUR dats all and work on 9ja skool question of a thing becos i kno really see any reason dey shud deny u except maybe ur sponsor's occupation.

dnpasion: Went for my second interview today in lagos and the black american guy interviewed me but got denied again. I'm so sad and even got depressed ever than before.I wasn't nervous today and I gave all my answers without fear. Anyway here is how it all went:-
Vo: Good Afternoon
Me: Good Afternoon
Vo: What are you going to do in the U.S?
Me: To Study
Vo: Major?
Me: Computer Science
Vo: Did you apply to other schools?
Me: Yes and I named them
Vo: Why those schools?
Me: Told him
Vo: Why XYZ uni?
Me: An academic excellence in a christ centered environment and the skool information technology department provide world class information resources,telecommunications,computing,networking tools and services to students to facilate learning and research.
Vo: Did you write SAT?
Me: Sir (didn't hear what he asked)?
Vo: Did you write SAT?
Me: No because it wasn't part of the school admission requirement
Vo: What?
Me: I repeated myself again
Vo: how come u get admitted?
Me: told him I got admitted because I have a good O'level results and High School Transcript.
Vo: When did you finished from High?
Me: 2009
Vo: What have you been doing since then?
Me: Doing a voluntary job as a secretary at my dad's company.
Vo: Typing and the next thing I heard is that (Sorry I can't grant you).

House this is how it all went but I believe I was denied because I didn't write SAT. I don't know what to do now because I'm so depressed and sad.

Mamacita007: sorry i was very excited in my last post that i wrote rubbish with my phone. first, God work miracles not magic lol

Special thnxs to the gurus and those that know little to share.. I can't mention specific names, but you all know yourselves. Thnx.

My appointment was scheduled for 10 o' clock but big bros and I arrived like 6am after a very serious mock interview by my cousin on d phone. I stood for hours there and was so dehydrated and sleepy. I kept singing worship songs in my head - Awesome God by Sinach. I will sing by D.Mclurkin. The Lagos Embassy was not cold today as I expected. Omo see as dem dey bounce people. I swear almost 400 people showed up this morning. I was praying for the African American VO in booth 6. One girl was shaking and stammering badly for like 10mins but he still gave her the visa. He seems relaxed and jovial. One white garment Church man came with his garment, no slippers and a big gold chain on his neck. The VO bounce am come laugh on top sef. loooool The man vex comot. The white saddist VO in counter 3 denied one girl for no SAT and it makes sense as you cant gain admission to any university here without jamb.

my number A07x shows up on counter 1 so i walked to the window. All the answers we made to every possible question disappeared from my head. I remembered to make it conversational and no yes/no answers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: Hello. Howz your morning?

VO: Good. Howz yours? Pass your docs.
Me: (smiling) Ready for my interview but I came too early so I'm already tired (smiling).

VO: Looks up at my face and smiles a little. I see you're going for MS in SCM/Logistics at Arizona State University?
Me: Yes. I've always desired to work as a Supply Chain professional. I have some entry level experience in procurement.

VO: Okk. Did you write any test?
Me: Yes, I wrote GRE and IELTS. (I went with my GRE online printout because my original is too embarrassing). As soon as I saw the VO typing something from my GRE report, I quickly explained that I didn't receive my original GRE report even though she didn't ask me.
VO: Sure, I just verified your test scores with ETS. (na hear i fear america oh. America is too much).

VO: Did you apply for the same program at other schools?
Me: No. I applied for same program at University of Houston and ASU, but Purdue UIU and U of Oklahoma is Human Resources.
(she was typing so I continued talking again) I chose ASU because its degree plan covers the fundamental components of all other programs like project management, risk assessment, bla bla and these specific courses is what I need to advance professionally here in Nigeria. most times these jobs are outsourced to foreign professionals to coordinate for us. I didn't mention denial to PUIU because she didn't ask.

VO: Are you gonna be responsible for your tuition?
Me: (Laughs)No oh. Confidently said that my mum is 100% responsible and she works as an consultant.... to the ....... solid minerals analyst (Yvete chai looooool. It worked sha looool).

The VO starts typing fast for almost one minute as I just stood there singing praises in my head. Then she passed my I-20 and other documents and kept my passport, DS 160 Confirmation page and gave me a white paper with a green ticket to pick up my VISA ON FRIDAY!!!!!!

Being on Nairaland is 25% visa guarantee, asking questions and seeking clarifications is 50% solved, reading the entire thread and learning from others is 75% and GOD ALMIGHTY IS THE ENTIRE 100%.

As you rejoice with me, may others also celebrate with you. Shayo shayo shayo shayo

dr.slip:

Feichi: My fellow NL's!!! I have a request 2 make dat needs ur urgent attention. I have a family friend in d USA dat wants 2 come 2 Nigeria 2 get me a US visit visa coz i was once denied US visa last July. They will be in Nigeria in 2months time so i want to kindly ask u if the US embassy will grant me visa when they go with me 2 d embassy via their influence. I also want to ask what they have 2 do 4 me 2 get the visa when they come 2 Nigeria. Kindly give me an advice as i await ur quick response. God bless u all. Shalom

kpolli: That doesn't apply if they don't have anyone in USA. . . . Being alone and broke here is close to suicide

imperiouxx: ^^^^ Sebi someone said I'm blaspheming and coating US with lot of saccharin 450X sweeter than glucose. The country can't favor all of us for sure but it favors me and I don't disagree that it's showing some worst. Na different life and luck we got.

My advice still remain for an average Nigerian, no GA/funding, no admission..... drop story and continue searching, yours is in front.

Adolite: We all face different life in America, To some is Sweet when you prepared before coming down here but to others is Hard ..in my case America is sweet and am ready to explore more soon , Thank God that i choose my uni in a small town, imagine in less than a month i got here i got my Driving License and later got a very NICE car for myself, preparing for Winter.If you really want to STUDY and your papa no be politician or RICH MEN in naija then find some Cheap schools in some states...Please follow this link it help..

AnythinCanHapen: I remember reading these pages everyday when i was preparing for my F1 interviews(got my visa at the second attempt). No b small matter!
Here are a few tips for the spring applicants

1)Pray hard!The G-factor is important sir.
2) take note of everything in your DS-160 form. That's all the VO knows about u.
2)try to apply to schools other than the USA - it shows you are not desperate to come to USA
3)if you can, please go to the embassy with a study leave
4)at the embassy, just relax! at my second interview,i told the chic doing the biometric stuff i liked her necklace and the smile on her face.I almost asked her out.dont let the VO rush u;say good morning,how are u today, i like your tie etc...
5)Most interviews are down to the first 20 seconds. give the first 3-4 questions ur best.
6) if you have siblings in the USA,you should be prepared to answer the following questions:
a)how long have they been in the USA?
b)what they do and where they work?
c)Places they have traveled to outside the USA
d)how they migrated to the USA(e.g which visa type)
6) If you were denied, no big deal!!!once u get it,i can assure u that u won't remember ever going to the embassy.
DO NOT change any info in your old DS-160.use the same info and work on y u were denied.
7)take the GRE
study everything on this forum.
I can confidently tell you that the VO will give you the chance to prove yourself.
Without this forum,maybe i would have gone to the embassy up to like 10 times.
Hate it or love it,Yankee is the place to be!
Good luck guys

Anthonymighty: After so much biometrics at number 5 stand...and waiting...there were only 2 people interviewing...A man on Number 7 I think in his late 30's and a woman at number 9 other stands where empty. I was saying abi this people no dey come work again?. Anyways I was studying them as usual, I noticed the guy was friendly to females and the woman was a little friendly but calm and strict. But in general they were only giving out visas to parent and parent(s) who came with their kids. They gave all of them visas. But they denied 4 students that that went before me and the guy gave just 1 student then called me for my turn. Here was how It went:

VO: Good afternoon sir.
Me: good afternoon sir
VO: I can see you got admitted into school XYZ
ME: yes
VO: How many schools did you apply too and how many admitted you
ME: I applied to 3 schools.(I named them) but just school XYZ admitted. (Vo started typing)
VO: How long are you planning to study there for:
ME: 55 months
VO: how did you come about the school
ME: I am a member of IEEE and we have a student forum where prospective students interact with themselves and a friend of mine from this school told me about it
VO: How much is your tuition fee
ME: I told him the amount excluding accomodation
VO: your i-20 here states you are a student ( I was wondering what he meant by that)
Me: YES.
VO: so which school do you attend
ME: I told him NO, I'm not a student here. I'm only a student planning to study at school XYZ ( those are the exact words I told him...I had a feeling I had begin to mess finz up)
VO: Where do you work
ME: I don't work
VO: How do you intend to pay the fees
Me: My dad is paying
VO: what does he do
ME: He import and sell cars
VO: oh! Ok does he import new or used cars
Me: I said New cars at first...then I don't know what made me include used. I told him new and used cars ( I believe I made another mess here again)
VO: where do you live
Me: Lagos but we have a house here in abuja.
Vo: family house
Me: yes

Then the vo keeps typing like forever and after the typing he put my DS-160 form in one cabinet and brought out a white photocopied paper: and he said; Unfortunately you are ineligible for a non-immigrant visa today. The white paper I gave you explains it all. You may consider re-applying. Then my face changed and I started feeling sick. And I left. But I will go back there...but it would be next semester. Because I was given a late resumption offer by my school because I couldn't get an early date so I'll have to defer my admission now and get a new i-20 for winter semester in January and try again.

Please great minds in the house, what could be the reason for my refusal. He didn't ask me for bank statement or sponsorship letter or any document I was expecting him to ask. Please kindly advice.
