I have no doubt benefitted immensely from this forum. Thank you to everyone. My Visa was approved 18/5/2017 at the VI consulate. I hope this helps someone as much as some of the transcripts I saw prior to my interview helped me.
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: Please pass me your passport and your I-20
VO: Why are you going to the US
Me: I am going for my Doctorate degree in Chemistry at Syracuse University
VO: what is your highest education qualification?
Me: BSc Chemistry
VO: Oh. How did you manage to get into a straight PhD Program?
Me: A combination of high undergrad GPA and research experience gained from working with one of the research-oriented faculty members in my Department. Gave her a breakdown of my prior research experience and my research interest.
VO: Tell me about your school application process to your chosen school?
Me: Well, when I discovered SU, my next point of call was the website of the chemistry department, after reading about the department, I went ahead to visit the web page of all the faculty research groups to know what research they were into. I requested for copies of recent journal articles from two faculty members with similar research interest after an initial electronic correspondence. They gladly obliged. Then I discovered that a particular professor had an ongoing research work that had a wonderful overlap with my research interest. I sent an e-mail to this professor, indicated my interest in joining her research group and requested to know if there would be space available in her lab for fall 2017. After this, I prepared and sat for the GRE exams, then I prepared my SOP and requested for letters of recommendation from my lecturer after which I completed and paid for an online application.
VO: Good. How are you going to fund your studies?
Me: I received a full tuition scholarship in an addition to a TA position during the school year and RA during the summer.
VO: Wow. Congratulations. Do you have any family member in Nigeria?
Me: My whole nuclear family resides in Nigeria.
VO: Oh. Okay. Sorry, my computer is freezing. If you had studied computer science, you would have been able to help me out with this. But, I think chemistry is better for you.
Me: *almost faints upon hearing "sorry"* Well, I like to think that chemistry is life, everything around you is chemistry, but Computer science is a decent course too, computer scientists are like the doctors of today.
VO: *takes her hand across the stack of blue papers into a cabinet and pulls out one of the “whites”* your research sounds very exciting, pick up your visa on Tuesday.

I give all the Glory to God. God is good. While I was on the queue waiting for my turn to be interviewed, I could not help but notice a number of responses from people that were being interviewed seemed crammed. I think it is important that prospective applicants appear calm and confident. I do not think that the interview transcripts posted here are not meant to be crammed, but to serve as guidelines for preparation. Good luck to all future applicants.

what's was your undergrad Uni and CGPA and TOEFL score if you don't mind

Chim1di:
NO.. You're the dumbass here.. If you read his transcript you'll see he was prepared. Intelligence at work, he said his core for choosing sau or so was because hell be 'part of an ongoing ' brother receive sense. Comprehend it. He didn't say he was going to work under just a professor. He said under the professors research group. So brother no dey claim itk. You know nofin. He didn't lie whatsoever. If you're lie to manager your way, that doesn't mean others do. So Bleep your thoughts. Too bad you're not the vo. He got his application approved so deal with your intelligence bro. Read his transcript and see this guy did his homework well.

Go and sin No more my child

segunojo866:
please sir, dnt blame people for fasting and praying for visa and still lie because we all re not perfect. God knws that we re not perfect thats why he still answer our prayers in such situation. My brother if u knw d level of poverty in naija u wont blame nigerians for fasting and praying to God just move out of d country to see other opportunities in life.

OK sir, Noted.

Chim1di:
See this one. You're just dumb. Like the dumbest guy ever

not as dumb as you lots who fast and pray for a Visa, invoking God unnecessarily, and proceed to lie to a VO.

Onicemus:
You obviously didn't read the question.. the question was why I choose SAU over all the schools that admitted me.. SAU has an ongoing undergraduate research in cyber security and software operations ..
I'm done replying..
my interview was yesterday and it was successful.. too bad y'all ain't no vo... peace

"...I'll be part of an ongoing research that forcuses on cyber security under professor ..*** .."... Lie with caution. next time... where is Twoods when you need him

Onicemus:

You said you would be working with professor xxxxx.... and that is just a stupid lie that was overlooked, now go and sin no more

Onicemus:
Oga before you say what you don't know ask questions... SAU offers undergraduate research on cyber security.. I took my time to go through their website.. smh , you think I formulated all I said.. who told you I wasn't ready to defend my question.. some people will just open mouth and talk anyhow ..

Undergraduate research?, yes... But getting a position as a prospective freshman, who will have absolutely zero input?... how stupid do you think we are?

Capitals:
Not entirely true bro, its very risky to trade against the trend (Everything is this business is risky anyway) but one can perfect the act of managing risks that go with trading against the trend.

I like trading against the trend, Just stick with what works for you

I have , and will always marvel at your exact pin point correct entries. Seems like sorcery

It seriously pain me, deep within my soul , that in 2017, a human being still believes in Money ritual

Socrates' Wisdom: Secret to Success

A young man asked Socrates the secret of success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning.

They met the next morning.

Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river.

When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water.

The man struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until he started turning blue.

The young man struggled hard and finally managed to get out and the first thing he did was gasp and took a deep breath.

Socrates asked. "What did you want the most when you were under water?" The man replied, "Air".

Socrates said, "That's the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted air, you will get it."

"There is no other secret.

Great weekend Motivation sir

Homers123:

Homers123:

can you expantiate further sir?

..And some idiots still believe in money rituals

All this noise and not a single person mentioned Magic Shave..... Does the Job well and not a single bump

Beelad:
It isn't a must for you to reply. You shouldn't just come up with that senseless conclusion just because you have nothing to say and you feel you should say something.
I don't have any word for you than have a wonderful week.

yeah, run along little one, your playmates await you

Beelad:
I've been following this your conversation and I'm sorry to intrude but i honestly do not understand the basis of your argument. You Just seem to be countering Twoods points with "irrelevant" points and low-key insults "

why am I not surprised you can't comprehend my post, when people like you pray and cast and bind to get visas, why on earth would you comprehend freshman philosophy and Logic.

neurosci:
You're right that I'm new to NL, sir. I wasn't referring to old days as far back as the date you mentioned. I didn't even know a word called ''Nairaland'' was in existence back then. I just joined this thread last year.


Yes, it's fun but at times insults may not be fun, especially to strangers.



Pls, kindly unquote my last post you quoted. Thanks!

No , I won't . Good day

@neurosci .

you are clearly new to NL then, back in '08/'09 Travel section was always hot with NIN VS NID , the likes of sagamite, cougar, babyosisi, almondjoy et al, made this place not so educative but fun, the good old day you yearn for were not so good oog

TWoods:
You've used a lot of words but basically said nothing of value. I'll leave you to continue making excuses for the sad state of your continent.

My post aimed at exposing your faulty logic of hasty generalization, if you need value pick up books on basic economic and socioeconomic theories and stop being a black race hater. and I'll leave you to keep playing the good evil doer.

Can someone direct me to a thread about admission into American schools because it seems i'm in the wrong place.

TWoods:
I'm not sure how saying we are not as bad as the Indians is of any use at all. India and Mexico may possess more vices but they are also technologically more advanced countries. What do we export, other than oil and 419? Shame on us. Arguments like this make me despair for the black race in general. We make excuses for crime and mediocrity and offer absolutely zero to the rest of the world.

Going by this your faulty logic, what does Panama export besides tax havens and banking institution for illegal activities, what does Brunei export other than brutal autocracy and oil, what does most of Latin America like the Honduras et al export other than Meth, LSD and gang violence, what does south Sudan export other than child soldiers and gigantic refugees. Despair the black race all you want as that is your business, but your logic is faulty and fallacious, irrespective of what nefarious activities a small group of a nation does, the majority who seek just life deserve life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And FYI, we do not need to export anything to be relevant, a simple look into comparative advantage would give you a wee bit sense you deserve. Saudi Arabia has exported oil and Terrorism, tell me why you shouldn't hate the Arab race then, going by your logic of nonsense.

brightify:
just chill,his saying the truth,some Nigerians as really messed here up,and this as really tarnished our country image,some Nigerians deny their nationality here, and about the Mexicans you see here not all of them came here with visa,75% of them swimmed to cross here,in Houston I think this was last here 3 Nigerians caught for credit card fraud,ABC news took it and they showed them on TV,and that's very bad,gradually they're tanishng our image,especially when it comes to green card level,naija don really mess that stuff up,there's an akata lady I do work with, was telling he can let any mother f***ker Nigerian marry her daughter because we're all after papers,even though you're for real they will also think you're after papers.

Then you clearly haven't seen people of the Baltic and the russians face worse for their light fingered ways; I wasn't denying the fact that there aren't criminal Nigerians in the US of A, but alleging that the crooked ways of a few Nigerians who don't even make up to 10% of black people in american and 1℅ of the American populace will hinder future visas, is just illiterate thinking. The department of state isn't like the naija civil service, their work is thorough enough, visa or no visa; and when they feel their immigrant intake capacity is beyond capacity, legal migration is slowed , simple!.

TWoods:

2. Even if you're going to disgrace yourself abroad and be a menace here, please consider those coming behind you. Your actions directly impact them. Years ago, getting visas used to be so easy, but thanks to the frauds, the drug pushers, the illegals, the corrupt... You now need 7 days fasting and prayer.

The Chinese and Indians, and even Mexicans possess higher populations, and statistically more vices, how come they don't need Fasting and prayer. smh; same way people like you constantly think Nigeria is the world's biggest scam nation, when we are not even in top 10.

Teejaysegxy:
Dear fellow and prospective pg students, I am presently an M.Sc Students at UNILAG. My experienced till date in UNILAG is disheartning and discouraging. In UNILAG, like the Initiator of this topic said, u are taught those topic that u had been taught in ur undergraduate days, which understandably is because of those students that r from other fields but crossed over to ur field but notwithstanding, u r only taught 20% of what u need to know as a pg student. That aside, at UNILAG, therefore is this endemic disease of favouritism among virtually most of their lecturers. U can imagine, during My 1st semester there, a lecturer came a round to introduced their best graduated student during a particular year who the school authority has inadvertly retained based on their doctrine, who we r both undergoing d same pg programme, and d lecturer said that d guy is indomitable and non of us can surpass him based on academic performance. To My chagrin, this guy had A's in all the courses except two lecturer who face him B's. This is d guy that didn't start d programme early with us. This is d guy that didn't partake in someone assignments because of this lateness. And more worrisome, this guy had highest in most CA's and exams. No test to measure our CA performances but only assignments. This same event has been persisting in d 2nd semester. This lecturers only give good marks to there students(Akokites) and cronies and those of us from other institutions, r left with nothing to write HOME about. Our faith to secure the minimum academic grade to be qualified for PHD has been dashed and unrealisable. As a result of this, I asked a friend of mine in the same institution and someone other people and they said is nothing new to them. That is a Customer and tradition thing at UNILAG. I am now sailing in a regretable boat that had I seeked people's advice before obtaining d from, I wouldn't have fallen a victim. On this note, My advice for prospective pg students is for them to go to their root I.e. the school they did their undergraduate programmes for their pg programmes because most Universities in Nigeria r not immuned from diseases of favouritism, stereotyping, factionalism and man-know-man. It's a common saying that d devil u know for a time immemorial is letter than d Angel u just know today.
My submission. Thank u.

Which department please?

lol..aunty someone is comfortably sharing your data with you.. I used to do that stuff a lot before

why bother explaining to the she Goat, it is people like her who will never check data usage on the phone..... expecting data to last like NAFDAC registered product before expiry dates... I know idiots that can use 17 GB in one hour, and still these naija she goats will keep making sentences like "2GB lasts me for a month"... if you use 2GB it will finish !!!!!, wether it lasts for a second or a month... f*cking dumb cuntsss
