Fall 2021
I want to give glory and adoration to almighty God, the beginning and the end.

Fast forward to this morning.
After dressing up, I came outside and took a bolt ride to diplomatic drive. I got there around 6:45am. The hustlers at the gate chop me small today, because I forgot to print out my late arrival authorization letter given to me by my Graduate Coordinator, so I printed just a page #3,000.
I also needed to keep my phone as phone's ain't allowed inside the embassy, I was also charged #1,500.
Then, we proceeded to the que for documentation and all.

Now, the interview proper.
I was interviewed by a while man in his mid 40s

V.O: Pass me your passport and i20 please
Me: I did

V.O : Your left four fingers, right fingers and tumbs please.

Me : Okay (I did for all)

V.O: Have you travelled out of Nigeria before?

Me: No, I haven't had any reason to.

V·o: Good, What's your highest qualification ?

Me: I have a bachelor of engineering from a federal university here in Nigeria, (I mentioned it)

V.o: So, what have been up to since you finished ?

Me: After graduating in 2015, I went for my NYSC in Port HARCOURT between 2016 and 2017, and I started working in my current company since Nov. 2017.

V.O: What's your role there? (Why asking all these questions, he was looking into his PC and typing for very long time before asking the next question )

Me: I work as a field engineer.(I explained my duties)

V.O :What will you do after this program ?

Me: After completing this program, I'll come back to my job to occupy a higher position. (As I was saying it, he had stopped typing and now was looking at my face, me too was looking straight to his eyes, eyeball to eyeball)

V.O: Okay, good good (gesculating with his hands, I wan laugh here )

V.O: How did you here about this school and how many school did you apply to?

Me: I searched through Google.com, and I applied to 2 schools; Bowling green state university and Morgan State University. So I went for MSU since I got a full scholarship there.

V.O: Good, very good. Do you have any siblings in USA ?
Me: No, I dont

V.O: What about your parents, are they here and what do they do?

Me: My dad is here in Nigeria, he's a retiree and my mum is late.

V.O: Oh, so sorry about your mum. But I can see tha your school has commenced fall lectures since August 23rd, so what do you think?

Me: Yes, I commenced with them since August 23rd, and I have a late arrival authorization letter issued by my Graduate Coordinator here with me. (me bringing it out)

V.O: Okay, that's good. Now I can see all is set and good.

Me: Smilling sheepishly . . .

V.O: I'll be approving your visa, I'll be collecting your passport, you can visits www.tarveldocs.com.n . . .blablabla. . I Couldn't here anything again.

I'm really indebted to God almighty and to people who have made great contribution to this page. God bless you all. Lagosismyhome, fairheart, Twoods, Brown2green, Walspring, GboyegaD, and the rest i can't remember.

To the upcoming folks, please make sure you put all possible efforts within your power to achieve your goals, it will be worth it all at the end.

emmanuelle27:
just an observation, might not be the cause of your denial but let me just say it, I think you should be focusing on what the program will do for you when you're done not how you want to improve the life of Nigerians, na NGO u de run?? they know our system will not even give you the opportunity to improve it even if you really want to do that, so focus on how the program will benefit you next time, all of us know say all these shalaye about impacting Nigerians na lie

TOPMAN5252:
Please help a brother by responding

My brother try to mail your school and explain to them if they can extend your resumption date, if yes you are good to go but if no just try and defer to spring which is not far anymore. And request for an update on your I20 and attend your interview. Best luck

owagbeba:
Bro, you know there is a bit of luck/God factor/ VO mercy in this visa application process. I have seen terrible transcripts get visa, and very perfect transcripts denied.

However, we should err on the side of caution and perfect our application rather than solely rely on luck.

In your transcript you stated your sponsor is an estate developer. Please stick to that; it sounds better than “he has 5 salons.”

As for the period covering 2014 to date, you went a polytechnic, and currently working with an IT Company in Ikeja. Please NO SAY YOU DEY REPAIR LAPTOP FOR IKEJA!

Burnish the truth.... make it appear nice to hear.

Repackage the transcript and upload.

Let the other folks on here have a say too.

Okay my brother thank you so much I really appreciate that.
