Travel / Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by edave: 11:38am On Jul 12, 2019
am also heading to PVAMU MS electrical engineering ...i will send u a request
Okeyogwo:
Visa approved at the Abuja Consulate.

After my first refusal 2months ago I decided to bounce back on the 9th of July.
That morning I woke up as early as 3am to do my final rehearsals and after that as at 8am I was at the embassy. I was kabashing and praying seriously.

After the necessary checking in it then got to the interview proper. I stood at the queue for a long time only to observe a young man who was dishing the rejection paper any how. I was just praying not to go to that window. But I was unfortunate that this man who has denied 4 persons in my presence was where I was directed for my interview.
At this point I took a deep breath and said if I perish I perish.

With full courage I was so bold to work up to him and the following conversation transpired.

Me: Good morning

Vo: Good morning, I love your attire, you look good

Me: I was so shocked and I bluntly altered thank you sir

Vo: i can see you are going to Pvamu, why are you going to the US

Me: Am going for a Masters in Engineering with concentration in Civil Engineering.

Vo: Have you been to the US before

Me: No sir, I have not had reasons to even travel out of Nigeria before.

Vo: how many schools did you apply aside from Pvamu?

Me: 3 more sir, and I mentioned the names of the others schools

Vo; who will be paying your bills

Me: My aunt will be taking care of that and also my mother will also add an additional assistance.

Vo: what's your father's name

Me: Mr Bleep

Vo; where does your aunt and mum stay

Me: my aunt stays in Bleep, as a matter of fact I stay with her and I shuttle to work from her home and my mum resides in yyy

Vo: where do the both of them work.

Me: I mentioned my aunt's and mum's work place immediately.

Vo; can I have their bank statements, I did that immediately and he flipped through it and said that he will keep this documents for further perusal and if found forged you will be banned from entering US, should I proceed.

Me: yes sir, with all pleasure you can go ahead and clarify the documents sir.

Vo: OK congratulations on your visa, but you will be placed on AP for sometime, should I still go ahead with checking this documents, I know you understand what it means to be banned

Me: this time I was firm in my response and said yes

He immediately handed the white paper to me and a yellow paper indicating that am place on Administrative processing and I left happily.

Just this morning my status has changed online from AP to ISSUED��

please my people for me I feel an interview at the embassy is not even by how you prepare or your answers, but it is all by GOD'S GRACE and nothing else. We must have to pray that God should favour us anytime we are appearing there.
If you had read well I wasn't even asked all those technical question they normally ask. It was just smooth and easy.

I give God all the glory

Travel / Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by edave: 10:13am On Jul 01, 2019
morning sharwama..i sent u a message
sharwama:
FOR THE ONES WHO GOT DENIED
It's a beautiful Sunday, the start of a brand new week and the last day in June 2019. We had lots of visa approvals this month and reasons to be grateful. Sadly, we equally had denials and now I am concerned about the latter.
So this one's for all who got denied recently, contemplating and probably getting ready to refire, this one's for all the ones wondering why the VO didn't give them a chance to speak, to explain, this one's for all who forgot a particular document and got sent away, this one's for the ones who froze at the sight of the VO, became blank and couldn't utter meaningful sentences, this one's for all those wondering if they can make it in the next attempt, this one's for all those who have cried their eyes out and no longer have tears to shed, for the ones who have screamed so hard and have lost their voices, this one's for the ones who have been snatched by the piercing claws of depression, who have been pulled into the darkness and their lungs gasping for air that isn't forthcoming, this one's for all those wondering what exactly went wrong, this one's for the ones questioning God and wondering why He let this happen, I mean where is God when bad things like visa denials happen!
Breathe. Please, just breathe for me. I see you, I hear you and I can't imagine what you have been through especially because you have poured yourself into the entire process, but I do know these:
The fire of rejection wasn't lit to burn you, it was meant to purify and fortify you, to get rid of parts you thought you needed but never really did, to increase your hunger for greatness, to push you to do better and BE better, to question your intentions, how badly do you want this? Why do you want this?
I strongly believe that in life there are a lot of doors that are shut to us, and if we truly want in, we have to be consistently brave enough to keep knocking and be sure we are knocking the right way, the right time and on the right doors.
If you truly want this, if you are genuine, if you are truly worthy, if you believe you deserve this visa, then you really are and you really do . You will not go down without a fight, the entire universe is waiting for the manifestation of your gifts, waiting to see you rise from the ashes and give the loudest roar. This is your moment, take it. The glory of the latter shall be greater than the former.
May the force be with you!

i sent a request kindly accept
sharwama:

Are you serious shocked
That means I have to return the visa they gave me ooo coz when I was at the consulate, they didn't ask me for passport photograph kini.
As a law abiding citizen who has great respect for laid down rules and protocols, I should do this.
Please what's the closest available date?

TWoods:


Too long, too detailed, too rehearsed for a 3 minute interview. The more detail, the more likely to forget key aspects. Keep it short, simple, sweet.

vo why smart grid innovations
me modernaization of nigeria's power networks is the key solution to our ineffecttive power conservation and sustainability which is an uncreated power advancement nigeria will definately fall back to,more also i see smart grid innovations has a way to trade in power into national grid there by solving the problem of generation,transmission and distribution.
vo why power system and control specialization
me power system and control specialization is the rudiment knowledge i need in exploring smart grid innovations and more also it connect my past and present knowledge with my future goals
vo why electrical engineering
me i choose electrical engineering because nigeria's power sector needs transformation,energy utilization is a major problem Disco's(Distribution company of nigeria) have which can be solved by incooperation of smart technologies from engineers having a world class training in this engineering field
me SDM&T & UNH
vo why PVAMU
me prairie view is my unique school because it specializes in researches related to smart grid innovations and has state of the art facilities dedicated to such advancement more also i am exicited with the blends of familiar course requirements the program as to offer..i will b offering courses from power system and control track which is related to my work experience to courses in wireless technology which i have a certification and training on, to courses in microelectronics and signal processing.
vo when do u graduate
me 2016
vo what av u been doing since den
me after my graduation i went for my NYSC in NOV 2016 where i worked as a trainee with xxxx ( a generator manufacturer) and after my service year i was offered a permanent position as a field service engineer with the company.

Brown2Green:



How did you hear about the school?
Your response is too shallow.
Can you go ahead to name some credible educational resources you must have used ?
Carnegie classification, Princeton Review, Usnews.com and all that?

Why power system and control specialization?

Which kyn response be that one?
Are you going there to play? Kindly go and do some deep research on that field and how it connects to your career.

Why electrical engineering?/
Ok you started making some positive statements here..
Refine it more!

What will this course do for you?

It is expected that after obtaining a Masters degree , lots of transformations would occur, such as career advancement, pay rise...
You should paint a picture of how the degree will equip you with requisite knowledge related to your field and how it will spur you back here in Nigeria.

What have you been doing since then?

Your response is confusing!
They want to know about your professional experience and if it is substantial enough for a home tie .

Why would he sponsor you?
He promised?
Promise ke!
Kindly work on that.
thanks...I will work on dat
