#copied April 5th, Lagos Status: Approved Due to the fear of lagos traffic, I slept over at officer mess on Tuesday. So that I can comfortably trek to the embassy on my interview day. On the D day, I got to the embassy 6 am (my interview is by 7 am), however, I was interviewed by 7:45am The VO is a slightly chubby lady with a cute face on glasses, the bald man was absent as at the time I left. I was the fourth person she interviewed. She approve the first (a f2 guy with his kid daughter) but the second guy (f1) was not given visa, I didn't hear what he was saying but I noticed he kept pass documents to vo even though she protested that she does not need them, the third guy (f1) was also not given visa, he was obviously not articulating his words well Me: Hello, how is your day going (with a smile) VO : Very good, Good morning (also with a smile) Me: Good morning VO: pass me your passport and i20 Me: here you go VO: What are you currently doing Me: I am currently working as research assistant at the department of * engineering, University of *, which I have being doing for close to 2 years, my roles and responsibilities are blah blah VO: So, you are a assistant researcher at the department of *** engineering... Me: No, I am a research assistant at the department of * engineering of the university of * VO : Alright that's good. After which she start typing then she decided to take a look at my I 20 and then she said good, now staring at me, she asked VO: Please can you tell me how you got this funding Me: Okay, I submitted a compelling application involving my standardised test results, CV, transcript, personal statement, and references from the professors I have worked under. After which, I was invited for an interview among other applicants by the admission committee of the department and I believe I was given the funding due to my performance at the interview, my experiences as a research and teaching assistant and also my academic knowledge in fluid dynamics. VO: Good, so what is fluid dynamics? I told her what it is (VO nods and starts typing) VO: Are you married? Me: I am single but currently engaged (with a smile while still staring at her) VO: wow, do you have any kids? Me: (acting surprise with the question) No, I don't have VO: Have you travel out of Nigeria before? Me: No, I have not VO: will you be excited to travel to America Me: yes, I will VO starts typing….. VO: I will be approving your visa (smiling while passing me the white paper) Me: oh, great. Thank you. I really tired to listen to what she was saying after this but I was just hearing but not listening, all I know is that she was pointing at my start date on my i20 and mentioning 30 days, email, and point of entry I collected the white paper and my I 20 Me : do have a nice day Vo: sure, thank you. This is the Lord's doing and it's marvellous in my sight. I know what it took to get this funding and the patience of my PI (another story on its own) |
neduboo:Mine is actually Oklahoma state university. I am not sure about the standard of living in Oklahoma city but you can make enquire about your school in Reddit because that how I know a lot about my school. Also note that your stipend will be taxed probably within $200 - $400 per month. Congratulations to you too |
neduboo:Very okay. Where in Oklahoma? Is it Stillwater? The standard of living over there is low. A one bd/bt is $400 - $600 there. I will be going there in May to start my PhD mech eng. for the summer. Is the per annum for 12 months or 9 month? |
Mimisharon23:Lol, you don't need any acct statement. I also have a similar profile to yours. A colleague of mine who was a research assistant like me is currently in the USA. He stated that he got #25000. However, he is fully funded with no deficit and he was given his visa. |
Sheyboy8:Provided you just need intracity movement and not an intercity movement, then you should buy an electric bicycle. You can get a quality one such as the Veloctric Discovery 1 for as low as $1400. |
CallMeByMyName:I'm currently not there but I would be there in the summer to start my PhD program |
chibertha:I have been on a date search group and people came reporting that whenever they pick previously denied after they have been denied and want to reapply for another date, what they get is "there are no available appointment dates". |
chibertha:I don't understand but you can ask those who reapplied and got a date shortly after they have been denied whether it's pervious denial or regular. Ideally from the us embassy site, you are supposed to reapply after 6 month when you have being denial a visa. Anyway, if there is anyone who had gone for their second attempt what did you guys choose ? |
djsmart:1. Yes 2. Pls go for regular, if you choose previously denied, you will not be able to get an appointment date until 6 months as passed. Cgi don't keep such record unlike ds-160. So pls select regular |

TWoods:Stray bullet!!! |
humannature:Yes, the app will act as a third party in paying your sevis fee through western Union. But you will have to upload your i-901 document when paying |
humannature:Download the pay4me app on play store and pay through it |
SpatialKing:How fast was this. I know no one in US. Can someone I know in UK help in doing this |
NozinoGroup:How does this work and how fast is it It's not in any of the modes of payment advised by the USICE |
Hello guys, someone in uk wants to help me pay my sevis fee but those peeps in UK don't know much about western union quick pay. Please how did you guys pay for yours? |
Hello people, Is there anyone going or has been admitted to Oklahoma State University? |
It is definitely an organized hit |

Farid24224:Exactly my thought! |
Pharaohny:No, I didn't lock my sim but my phone was locked using a password. Watch this video. It will explain a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAszTptjwuI |
Silentmoni:Woow, this is interesting. My funds were also withdrawn using 2 ussd transactions by buying airtime of less than 20k and the third and final transaction used a pos agent clearing the remaining 50k. I saw the phone numbers the airtime was transferred to in the transaction descriptions. But since police were informing me to bring close to 150k to trace the numbers, I just decided to let it slide since the amount cleared in the account was 79k. I also believe that the pos agent is innocent in all this. The pos guy (his name was shown in the transaction description) was just doing his job. |
lied:I believe him. I have a similar encounter. The bank sef an Access. My pocket was picked inside keke along Iwo road. I thought the same way the op was thinking that for them to have access to my phone they will need to flash my phone. I later found out that all they need is your sim. Whether having a sim lock will help, I don't know. But, one needs to be EXTRA careful out there. |
