My Visa was approved on Monday morning. After the first denial. I scheduled for August 8 I used the same old DS-160 and I was turned back. I believe everything works for a reason and God favored me after paying the third visa fee. Thank you to everyone that scolded me after my first interview. I went back did a research on the school and contacted @Lagosismyhome I forwarded my revised transcript and she was glad to effect some changes to it, after roasting me on the phone saying I bleeped up. Lol
But I didn't shy away from her scolding. Contacted walspring a day to my interview, baba ginger me gave me some hints also.

Also, Going through the Faculty Webpage of UMainle I found an undergraduate research opportunity in Dr. Francis Drummond research where volunteers are needed for modelling the population dynamics {VO looking at me surprised} of insects/pathogen and insect/predators.

VO: what was your score?
Me: 1580
VO: why are you not doing medical technology here?
Me: The Nigeria school curriculum focuses more on the theoretical part and does not offer hands on research opportunities that gives detailed knowledge for my preferred course.
VO: what year did you Finish school?
Me: my high school?
VO: yes
Me: I finished in 2008
VO: it says here you have a diploma in science laboratory technology, does it mean they don't offer medical technology in Nigeria?
Me: There are schools that offer Medical Technology here, but the Nigeria school curriculum focuses more on the theoretical part and does not offer hands on research opportunities that gives detailed knowledge for my preferred course.
VO: What do you want to do after graduation?
ME: I will return home to my dad's hospital to utilize the knowledge and research skills i have acquired in the US. I aim to work very closely with him and contribute our quota to a healthier Nigeria.

OluDare01:
Contact you school, they would give you the best advice.
I did mine here in Nigeria
MMR varicella and skin TB test, filled the health form and sent them a scanned copy only after they told me what to do.
You might wanna explore this option

Thank you quote author=Chinewon88 post=47990767]Flosslive, feels great to know you're interested in Clinical Laboratory Sciences. That drew my attention. All you need is a little homework, and your interview is an opportunity to lecture your interviewer. Find out about your school's CLS research strong points and try to ascertain if they tick the boxes for you, with regards to what interests you about diagnostic medicine. I do not see lack of interest in you, from your interactions on here. You'll get it right this time. All the best.

NB: Find answers. That's probably what you're going to be doing with this degree.

Please, guys, I just dey come from zenith bank where I found out I can't pay for my WES evaluation with my Mastercard. What other options do I have?[/quote]

Travel › Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by Flosslive: 1:34pm On Jul 28, 2016

Thank you. I do know about the course but I never asked about a research been done in the school in relation to my course. I will do that. Thank you
quote author=Walspring post=47964815]

This is a wrong thought my brother..

It seems you don't know anything about your course at all..

If you thinking you don't want to talk about research how about the research the school does that is related to your course one way or the other huh

Did you check your school departmental or faculty website to know more about your school and course huh

If not you need to do that and research well about your school and course as well[/quote]

Travel › Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by Flosslive: 12:32pm On Jul 28, 2016

Can I call you please?

LagosismyHome:
That your first misconception if you feel research is for only those going for masters program ......... when i mean research it doesn't mean you are discovering the cure of HIV , but simple stuff in relation to the first degree and its application to Nigeria .

That gives a more in depth into your future goals than saying student faculty ratio

Also see the course you are going for , it has a good element of research. : undergraduate degree in clinical laboratory science and medical technology. So if you dont want to talk about research then hummmmm maybe you need more homework on this degree and its application

Travel › Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by Flosslive: 12:00pm On Jul 28, 2016

I'm 24. I don't want to talk research, because I'm not going for a masters programme

LagosismyHome:
Sorry for your delay ........ The VO gave you feedback and it lies in your answers , nothing stood out and that last on in bold is a BIG NO NO ....with your course there is so much to talk about from a research perspective and linking it up with Nigeria and the value u can bring lateron. For the VO to keep saying rehearsed speech , he or she was giving you an opportunity to redeem with the next question but it never came

That faculty ratio thing needs to go , why do people still say that . It is a standard in almost all schools so doesn't set any school apart ....... why you choose a school is what set it apart from others or what is unique to that program that interest you .. Also going for undergrad you have to be within a certain age range ..... How old if you dont mind me asking ?

Travel › Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by Flosslive: 11:26am On Jul 28, 2016

VISA delayed this morning

Me: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning, pass me your passport and I-20
VO: how did you learn about university of Maine.
Me: l used google for my search which in turn introduced me to Peterson guide. Peterson database includes over 50,000 accredited schools (cuts in)
VO: you are giving me a rehearsed speech I don't want that.
VO: why did you choose te university of Maine?
Me: I applied to three schools I was offered admission into all. I chose the university of Maine cos I was given my preferred course of study.
VO: cuts in again you are giving me a rehearsed speech.

VO: why did you choose university of Maine?
Me: UM has one of the lowest student to faculty ratio of 16:1 which gives me easy access to my professors and it's affordable by my sponsor.
VO: says you know what
Let's just continue
Do you have any relatives in the US?
Me: No
Types for a while and gives me the blue paper.

Please guys, I am going for an undergraduate degree in clinical laboratory science and medical technology.
What could be wrong with my answers?

I intend on getting another appointment or next week ,my schools resumes 23rd of August

Thanks guys.
