babyoriss: I was denied but have plan of reapplying soonest, Can you please confirm if Faulkner University is not Red flag and how to defend the issue of the Waiving SAT, though I have OND in accounting. Please advise.

I am really sorry about this, y not post your transcript for the gurus to assist and for those going for interview to learn from it..

Callmebabe: I can see you have a huge problem. B*TCH, I have no patience for people like you, mind your business okay. Whether you like it or not, lazy people get the easy way out. Just stay off my posts....

This is really Harsh, dear, you need to calm down,
*in a father's voice* you and Zee should knee down now so we can settle this..

iluvmybishop: Guys I guess it gud to Av DAT interview early morning becos d Vo mind still dey refreshed or what do u think guys?

It doesn't matter the time, if God says the vis is yours, you will even get it @ 12:00 midnight
Just do your best (prepare well and go with all you doc) and pray without season and God will show you His favour..
Goodluck

Graviton2: Stevecrun, Callmebabe, Zeezahbee,

Be rest assured, I won't tell y'all stop these trivial arguments. Do carry on!

*Sits down with popcorn.

Hahaha.. Lool. Remain popcorn for me ooo..
Bro, how is your preparation going??
All the best bro..

@teddyrain,
Nice long post you posted before, but if you really want to help a brother, you don't have to know his interview date,
Gravinton, Kunlebal, Slimmy05, OjaP, Msnas, Amefrica, Walspring, sir imperouxx.. I will always admire these peeps they just encourage you on how to prepare and back you up with prayer, irrespective of whether they know your interview date or not.
its up to the individual to get back to the trend and testify..
About what happened with you and idaw, I may not know the genesis but its very wrong to come out to the trend and say it hoping that people on here will like and see you as the better person and idaw as the bad guy.
Telling us how you assisted Idaw and Amerinancy during their preparation and how you did good to them, should be kept secret as God who sees all that is done in secret will repay you, you don't need to tell it to we humans on this trend.. Even the bible disputes it; telling people the good thing you did to your friend..
Since you have gotten your visa, you could go on thanking God who did it for you and You could have just ignored him, simple.
I admire you especially when you posted that poem that belonged to someone else and the trend advised you that its bad; I loved your zeal to come back and apologised, you learn your lesson and didn't give up on your dream.
You went back to pick up your visa.
I expect you to act matured as it will take you far in life especially in the US.
I wish you the very best in your studies and in America..
Goodluck.

@ mjseun, rexndubuisi, golden chick, amerinancy, and teddyrain and all including te congrats on your visa once more enjoy obamaland..

Callmebabe: Hello everyone... I applied to a sch in newyork recently, but I was denied admission due to my ignorance during online registration, I also thought I could waive the application fee, but now I know better. What I need now is guideline on how to go about successful application and I also need suggestions on nice universities in America for my masters. Thanks.

There are so many schools in the US that offer masters..
You can use google.com, USnews.com, collegeboard.com to search for one that suites you, academically and financially.. Goodluck..

zeezahbee: its 2k, just go alone with 2 passport photograph and a printed copy of the result. they have a specific date for each year, try go to ogba and confirm the date you can pick up the certificate for 2012.

Thank, you have been helpful, I will march to waec, first thing tomorrow

Hello friends,
I wrote GCE in sept 2012, while going for my
interview soon do I need to go collect the
original certificate from waec office and if I
need the original, how much do I take with me?
I heard that the original result takes 2years
before its released..
Can I still take the online print out stappled
with the scratch card?
Hope the VO won't frown @ this?

Bibbzy: Am sorry for your denied.i am also going to the sch and i was denied also this year june.the VO also ask me for my high transcript but i dont provide it.the VO do ask alot of question if its california state uni jst dont know..PM bro

I think in your own case, you shot yourself in the foot,
You were suppose to tell the VO that your high sch don't give transcripts to students, they send it to school officials upon request (via email), but you have your waec result, simple..

Congrats to those approved,
@Slimmy, I am very sorry for your delay,
This is the reason why I kicked against going to the embassy on that 21st because my documents were not complete yet.
However, you know the right thing to do next, do it and go grab your visa..
Goodluck bro and thank you for all your assistance..

michealkaz: Oti se oo, baba ti se oo, o un to bami leru baba ti se o... ..!All Glory and honour to God in the highest. Him and only Him deserves all praise. VISA was approved on thursday 17th July 2014 and i just collected my visa today and i felt i shud post this after succesful collection.

, I took a ride to the embassy in the evening around 3 pm to get a feel of the place and familiarize myself with the place, then i went and rent the nearest and cheap Hotel so i cud get early
I got to know about Famous hotel from this thread. I got their around 5:30: did checks
---//--
the interview started and numbers started popping up...
I was sitting at the middle front seats away, so i was listening and seeing approvals and denials. I was literally feeling my heart in my mouth and seriously praying my number doesn't pop up on windows dat are denying.

Here is my interview transcript :

Me: Good Morning ma

VO: Morning *looking into her computer screen*

Me: Umh... How is your day going

VO: looks up, shrugs, blushes, gave a big grin and said... It is OK... Thanks

Me: I smiled too *in my mind I said I Don get u today* (Confidence was beaming in me at this point)

Vo ; So how did you find about the sch ?

Me :though my dad was very helpful in find sch in usa, we searched online through usa sch search websites like - usanews.com, princeston.com, student-review.com """"as i was mentioning this" d VO was nodding .. I was just getting more confident

VO: So why did you choose Concord University...

Me: I did lots of research and my dad was also helpful, i found out that the sch has just added two new laboratories to their general computer labs these labs are Computer security Lab and Computer Networking Lab. Am specialising in computer Security and this new Labs will help me in good research for my specialisation..

She was just Nodding"
VO : So What did you send to apply to the sch ?
Me : i sent my high school transcript, My Weac result. My Sat and Toefl and also my dad financial statement of account.. !
VO : u send ur Waec and your sec sch trancript
Me : yes !!!

vO : can i see it

VO: she returned and types for a few seconds* Then said... YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED!!! pick it up three days time, * hands me my i20 and the white form*

Me: Thanks with a big grin! I pack my stuffs and literally

Anyways... Umh.... Imma drop a few personal hints here...
1) Fast and Pray
2) Fast and Pray
3) Fast and Pray (7 days or more you won’t die trust me, u go chop all u want when u get to the USA… lol)
4) Be confident
Confidence is key Mehn it can't be overemphasized... U have to know what u going to the US to do, and also good reasons u choose d sch..! be emphatic and articulate with ur responses.
5) Practice.... I practiced with my mum, my brother and my mirror... Looking straight into their eyes and mine in the mirror.
6) Look for stronger points for why you choose your sch.. Strong point like what the sch have that will help your career. ...!!!!
7) Get there early *nurtures ur confidence*
*MY OPINION*
9) Thank God... And believe they have no reason to deny you... They want u to go, they need ur money, they need to fill up spaces and u already have a space with ur admission. Your visas would be issued by God's grace!!! Amen!!!

teddyrain: Thanks to every one who have celebrated with me God bless you all.

Please future applicants, I would like to give you guys some tips


1. Be positive (when you get to the counter, smile and greet them)

2.Look into their eyes while talking (please don't do it like a competetion oh! Just look into their eye, pause for 4 seconds before answering. think before you talk, please don't let anxiety make you talk before yo think)

3.Please be audible

4.Please don't memorize answers ( pick out your points and explain them naturally, you will be tense free.)
For example, if your school is one of the best in a particular program, know about that program and explain like if a friend asked you. Just be natural, it really helped me, when he threw that dart at me "Now you are giving me memorized answers" I still composed myself and because I knew about the school too well to memorize, I wasn't off guard.

5.Don't sound like a robot (even if you crammed a particular critical answer, try to make it look like its not.

6.Be calm (don't argue)


7.Don't bring out documents when not asked except cases where its critical, but use them as a supporting proof)

8.Say the truth (or at least make it sound convincing and in order not to screw it up, don't even lie)


9.My trick ( I actually have a baby face lol! But please use body language properly. If you are talking and explaining something open your palms, it shows you are truthful and have nothing to hide. Please smile, speak louder and act confident but not too much, they re humans too and understand we can be a bit nervous too)

10.Be calm positive and attentive

All the best. but before all these can work make sure you have insured yourself to God first.

I have some spiritual formulars to help you get your visa. Contact me and I will give you 3 mind blowing techniques for sure visa, if you are a christian.

Nice.. Thanks bro

honeyad: When are u hitting the embassy bro?

goldenchic: Congratulations once again. Just 9 visas were approved at the student visa today. F1 only. For d 6.30am only

Did you wait to count all those that got visa 2day?

RexNdubest: Gurus, my I-20 is stapled, should I remove the pin?

No, you don't have to

RexNdubest: Bro, do they provide gum there or I should look for where I can buy any liquid gum to perform the bolded.
Thanks!

You can get a little paper gum.. Just a little, so it can be removed easily..

RexNdubest: Congrats teddyrain. Hope to paste my own success story tomorrow!
@ the bolded, are u saying we should staple all the documents before coming to the embassy?

You only gum your passport photo to you ds160 confirmation page.
Separate the ds160 confirmation page, i-20, int passport, passport photo, appointment confirmation, gt bank receipt(visa fee), sevis receipt from all your other document cos those are the once that will be handed to the VO.

Good luck bro. You must testify. IJN. Amen
