stevecrun: please;I'd like to ask a quick question.Do intending international students of Southwest Minnesota state university SMSU need to pay 2000usd from Nigeria to the school and show the bank draft to POE officials on point of entry??
Part of the message i got from michael kurowskiA minimum of $2,000 to pay to SMSU within the first week of class (Failure to do so will result in your classes being dropped.) Nothing like showing bank draft at the POE

Me: southern Connecticut state university, vo:wat course will you be doing ? Me: computer science, vo: why? Me: cus is dexame with the course I have taken in my previous school, vo: which is dat? Me: reply, she asked can I see your result? I gave her my Wes evaluation result, she looked at it, she replied, can I see your result again, and I don't heard him well, and I gave her my certificate, and I have lower credit in it, and she asked, who will be sponsoring you, I said my father, she asked, what is he doing for Living ?

Hi, the way you answered these questions were not quite convincing enough to the VO, you just gave straight answers, which is not to be so, u could have given volumnous answers to the VO in order to convince that you are a legitimate student
Before you reapply again read the transcripts on this thread and the previous threads, u need to teach yourself how to answer questions astutely and give convincing answers, like Stewee said you need to groom yourself, so i implore you to take ur time and read lotta interview Transcripts it would help you much, and save in your phone.
Lastly, you need to check that bank statement of account, hope you didnt go through the agent route, and i hope the statement of account is not an oluwole, for the VOs to scrutinize the bank statement of account there should be a problem with it, and i hope its a Nigerian account an not a US account, also take at least one standardized test it would boost your chances of procuring the visa.
growth: Please dear nairalanders, my uncle just issued me a SOA for my visa interview, but the SOA is for his company not his personal SOA, and he's the owner of the company. Please I need advice. Will this SOA be useful?
Bigfrancis21, Slimmy05 Profojah, Akin, and bbdd
Yes it is going to be useful, just take along a supporting document with his company's letter head, stating he's the one that'll support you during your stay in the US
VO: hw long have u been with your current employer
Me: 1 yr
VO: u mean u've been saving up for this?
Me: yes...i have previous work experience and have up to 4yrs working experience.
the VO handed me the passport and the blue letter.
Pls i need applicable advice....
Man you need advice and your interview transcript is not succint enough, nobody's gonna decode that, just type in how you answered your questions, and help would be given or advice, but like this with the ******** who can read that? And understand that, man nobody. Just tell how it went explicitly with every detail.
Mickeywilliams: Thanks..I presume you mean that when I write this october ..results will be out in 2wks as usual n I apply to schools..my resumption date should be fall next yr?
It depends on the semester you applied for.
spring resumption: january Fall resumption: august or september Since you are writing your SAT on october apply for spring. Cos resumption and deadlines of schools will not end till late october or november. Then u can schedule your interview in december. You get. But if you still love nigeria so much apply for next year fall
Cetona: Just watched the video and I have to admit he is indeed tall. Still don't think he is up to 7' tho
For real? Didnt you see how every body was so puny for him? He's really 7'3-4, he's the tallest corper nigeria has ever produced. Looking at the last at the far right, he's about 6'3
Nigga what? U dare not speak to an elder like that, that has made lot of impacts in people's lives, people has been in this race before you, don't act like your the only one in the US with a student's visa, when u come up on here you just answer people who asks questions, not to talk to older people anyhow man, see hundreds of people have been on nairaland and procured their visas without nobody's help but by reading previous posts, also by helping themselves we Quite good, also we were just fine here before u came in man, we've got loads of gurus here, maybe in your side you are a lion, but here your a dog(Chihuahua).... So just calm your nuts down, and answer questions that u feel u can, and not try to feel like you know it all man, im not even sure if you even know about PHD admissionsbor grad man, just call your nuts man. I dare not speak rudely to anyone here, cos anyone can be of help to you someday, being in the US dosent mean u knw it all, cos we are like in the same age group i just had to talk to you.
