Mekurexx:
Congrats @cutemorgan! When explaining technical-course related questions is it better to be descriptive or brief? So one doesnt give shallow answers and sound like he doesnt know what he is talking about. Pls advise...

Thanks boss mi...I think using few jargon will do one's interview no harm but one should be careful of overuse so that the conversation won't be too boring. We should be descriptive but try to explain as simple as we can. I believe gurus in the house will throw more light on this cos meself be learner boss mi.

Good evening house, Visa was approved today at US consulate, Lagos. I have to take out time to appreciate everyone; deetus(for his help with my SOP critique) imperiouxx, slimmy, santaclause, snazzygirl, zeezahbee, bigfrancis, walspring, biikeys, bbdd, happney65 and all other gurus in the house, everyone on this thread is appreciated.
Special shoutouts to my ogas in the game too; SirRiddy, Holudarey01 and Fortissimo (Thanks for the morale..Your heads are valid in profojah's thick voice *lol*). And of course adorable Rhemmie91 (thanks for being there since undergraduate days).

Got to the embassy some few minutes before 10am for my 11am interview. At about 15 mins before 11, we joined the queue and we headed in. Thanks to all the gurus here, I was quite familiar with the process and very few things seem strange to me. After the security checks, we were directed into the hall. Contrary to my thought that we will still chill a bit after the biometric verification and all(mehn, they directed us to join the queue ni straight up), then a lady directed me to window 7. The V.O was interviewing a lady while I wait in line. I could hear some of their conversation(mehn I dey there oo but my mind don travel). After she concluded with the lady, I just dey there oo, I nor gree go her front(make she nor think say I dey do oversabi), then she beckoned on me to step forward.

V.O: Good morning, can you pass me your passport and your i20.
Me: Good morning ma, Here they are.
V.O: What will your research be about?
Me: I will be working with Dr. Bleep on the development of alternative synthetic routes for natural products using oxyallyl and triphosgene.
V.O: oh..ok, so what's the essence of the synthesis(cant remember the exact way the question was structured)?
Me: Natural products are obtained from plants and to get a small quantity of natural product we might have to exhaust a vast amount of plant. So we will be working on alternative routes to synthesizing these natural products.
V.O: So how did you know about this school?
Me: It was referenced (mehn, fear make recommended disappear comot for my head) to me by one of my lecturers. He did his graduate study there.
V.O: I can see you have assistantship.
Me: Yes ma
V.O: Is it a research assistantship or a teaching assistantship?
Me: It is a Teaching assistantship.
V.O: I will be approving your visa, you can pick up your passport from the circled location by Tuesday, and there's a briefing organized by education Usa. It's coming up......can't remember everything she said.
Me: Just nodding, thank you very much ma.
In all, it was just God grace. Can't say I was eloquent(my voice dey cut) but it was God al the way.
Many more success stories to come by God grace.

lionlee216:

Mekurexx:
Greetings everyone! Can one pay visa fee & book appointment before filling Ds-160 or its after filling it? Can't remember these visa steps anymore!

Boss mi, the visa fee can be paid(all one needs is just his/her passport data page) but one can't book an appointment without the Ds-160 reference number.

Fortissimo:


Brother thanks jare...I wanted to to ask you about it sef but I sed let me not bother you.

Been calling ur line boss but you nor dey pick. Pls, holla me as soon as you can sir.

Buccattee:

Yes Bro, I got my passport renewed, and my new passport details has been updated on my appointment confirmation and DS 160. My interview date still remains 11th of May.

Wow!!! Nice one boss mi... All the best to us all

How far boss Buccattee, have you been able to find your way around that parol?

dicapino:



Bro how did you take the passport photo you used?

Boss dicapino, to complement what oga walspring mentioned, you can also visit this link.
https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/photos.html

Holudarey01:


I never reach that stage o.
I think you should ask Dickoflife Cutemorgan

Boss Dicapino, You have to complete your ds160 form using this link; https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/default.aspx

Then you can schedule an appointment using this; https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/

Pls let me know if you need any other info.

Fortissimo:
rhemmie91 I think I know you! Congrats. Cutemorgan, Emma check una PMs.

Check your PM boss mi.

Dapsey66:
good morning all. My interview is 11am this morning. Wish me luck guys. This place is ridiculous though.

Just stroll in go collect your visa boss. All is well

rhemmie91:
Good evening all, visa was approved today at US consulate Lagos. I just wanna thank everybody that has ever commented on this thread as I always learn from what I read here. Special thanks to @slimmy2005 for helping with my sevis fee payment and @holudarey01 for always checking up and of course @cutemorgan for introducing me to this thread.
My appointment was 6:30am and I was the first person to be attended to today, here it goes.

V.O: Why are you going to the US?
Me: To pursue my doctorate degree in chemistry at Louisiana State University.
V.o: At baton rouge?
Me: Yes at baton rouge.
V.o: What other degree do you have?
Me: Bachelor's degree
V.o: In what course
Me: chemistry as well
V.o: great, did you get any kind of funding?
Me: Yes I did, graduate teaching assistantship, waives my tuition and with a generous stipend....couldnt help but smile
V.o: smiled back, thats exciting
Me: very exciting
V.o: So how did u know about Lsu?
Me: It was first recommended to me by a friend who did his graduate studies there, then I read up on the school, its chemistry program is rated top 100 in the entire country, and they have some really interesting researches going on.
V.o:* nodded* thats good, did you apply to any other schools?
Me: Yes, four other schools..
V.o: have you paid your sevis fee?
Me: yes I have
V.o: then he typed somethings for a bit, ok your student visa is approved, you cant enter the US until 30 days bfore ur program start date. Dont forget to have your I20 on your person and not in your luggage. Then something about Education Usa.

At this point, I was too happy to say anything, was just nodding. Typing it now, it seems long but it all took less than 3mins.
Thank you all.

Congrats dear...Greater days ahead

rogerdavid:
Thank you Guys for the info on how to pay my SEVIS fee.
I have found a friend in the US who is willing to help me pay. And I have one more question :

Apart from the cash and my I-20, what other documents will he need to process the payment?

Thanks

You can visit fmjfee.com, fill in the information required and generate a coupon number. Then send the coupon number or the coupon itself alongside your scanned i20 and cash boss.

aadeyi:


Need someone to confirm ur claim

I guess you guys are referring to the same thing. Retrieving your application after it has been electronically signed and submitted will generate the info you filled on the previous ds160 but it will issue you a new number(he mentioned that in his previous post). I think that will be applicable for someone who hasn't booked his/her interview with the previous ds160.
