Ok, ima do just that.. Thanks a bunch

That's so sad... I'm sure you will get it if the school write the embassy and if you choose to defer, just remember all the answers to her question in this interview cos they keep records.. Just give the whatever VO that interview you next and they will issue you VISA.. Spring 2014 is around the corner..

I consider you to have the VISA already if not for the resumption date.

lentywilly: Hello House I've been a secret member of this forum.
Post some comments once in a blue moon.
My Interview was today at the Abuja Embassy.
Interviewed by a lady on Counter 9... She was s☺ nice, she even gave Visa to a guy that didn't know the state his school was located.
But I was denied anyway by her reasons she stated.
Here is how my interview went.

Me: Good Day Ma.
VO: Good Day Son.
Me: How are you doing.
Vo: I'm wonderful. You Williams right?
Me: Yes.
VO: Woow! You're s☺ tall, you like Michael Jordan, you play basketball.
Me: Yes Ma.
VO: What School are you applying to?
Me: Purdue Unoversity Calumet.
VO: Where's it located in the Us?
Me: Hammond, a city Northwest of Indiana state.
VO: Great... Like how cold is your school?
Me: during Winter is very cold, Temp vary from -1c to -10c.
VO: Woow! Seems you really know this school that much, How did you know about the school?
Me: My course Advicer was an alumni of the school and he told me much about the school how friendly and willing the professors are and it has a good curriculum and security system.
VO: Go on.... (She keeps typing)
Me: I checked it out on Usnews it was ranked highest in midwest regional universities.
VO: Great. S☺ when did you finish your secondary school.
Me: 2005.
VO: What have you been doing then?
Me: I did my undergraduate program in Mech Eng at Federal University Of Technology Owerri.
VO: When did you finish?
Me: 2011.
VO: What have you been doing since then.
Me: I did my nysc last year which I finished early this year.
VO: Have you traveled before?
Me: Yes Ma. To Ghana.
VO: Purpose Of your trip?
Me: Went to visit my Aunt.
VO: How is she?
Me: She's doing great.
VO: Who is sponsoring You?
Me: My Uncle.
VO: What does he do for a living& what's his salary like?
Me: He owns a construction company and not placed on salary because he is the CEO.
VO: Why is he sponsoring You?
Me: Right from my childhood I've been his favourite nephew, and he keeps telling my parents that he'll sponsor me through any education level to make sure I own a company like his.
VO: Yeah! Go on... (She keeps typing)
Me: He also contributed to 80% of my fees for both my secondary and tertiary education.
VO: This your uncle really loves you, Can I see his statement?
Me: passed it to her. She looks through the final balance.. Screams woow! Really huge amount.
VO: what is his construction company into?
Me: construction of oil tankers for mobil, oando, agip, ap, Total and s☺ on.
VO: She took my passport and was about to say those magical words and suddenly she screamed woooooooooooooooow! You I-20 reads resumption date of 12th August and it says not later than that date. I intend issuing you a visa by then, s☺ I can't. You have to tell the school to write to us for an extension.
Me: I was shocked couldn't talk again.
VO: Don't worry son, its for your own good. You may be deported at the Us airport for this, s☺ which is wise? Re applying or deporting?
Me: Still shocked as she handed me those papers. #sad faced#...

House please I've not heard of this type oo since I started going through this thread.
Thanks Baba imperiouxx, your advice helped.
# I think Today wasn't my day#

I feel you but must let you know that you should relax.

prof cleopas is no longer with NITDA but I can assure you if nothing go wrong with Champs, you are cool with NITDA because the integrity of the chairman of the scholarship board is firm.

Just keep your fingers crossed.

CHAIRMAN1: Viewing dis topic, amb dan, whizkidy, bad ass nigga.

Hmm its just 6am and some niggas dey there. Abi una sleep untop this thread?

Something is begginning to tell me that this prolonged delay may be used to manipulate things. Last yrs scholars wrote theirs manually and from what people said, Dr Cleophas single handedly marked the scripts,albeit painstakingly. The reults were released in 30 days. This year's was more automated. It was computer marked and we saw our scores that same day. Now anyone in his right senses would know that something fishy is in the pipeline. Or how can we xplain the incessant delay? I can assure the people in chargee that no irregularity will go unpunished. God will fight our battles for us.

Carsonv: Hey bro, nice story you had up there. Congrats!

I was just keen to ask which of the NITDA scholarships you were going for studies on? Is the recently conducted test at Chams?
Thanks

Thanks....

I won my scholarship last year.. deferred till this year for reasons beyond my control and was approved by NITDA

winbyforce: I wonder how this CGPA conversion thing plays out at WES for Uni of Ibadan graduates .Ibadan uses a 7point CGPA grading system.

Been wondering too.. I'm currently on 6.0 on a 7 scale and i'm done with coursework.. I hope that can be up to 3.7 on a 4 scale with WES cos i want an outstanding grade to add to my undergraduate for Ph.D in Ivy League school.

Mike-Will:
Hey fellas i'm back, shayo don clear....here is how my interview went below

Got to the lagos usa embassy by 9:30am and i was schedule by 10 am august 2, the the normal check up and i was inside only to find bunch of people even some standing cos no seat every were was full and i asked myself wetin make people wan run comot for 9ja like this, i said well i wont blame them na the economy, so the v.o's were all denying and at some point i started to lose confidence like what is going on but i said to my self i dont care how many people they deny i kno that when is my turn they must approve it. they denied alot of student even a guy who picked same school with me was denied,But i say base on who i be dem no fit scare me cos i have come a long way plus agent barber my head with the money he charged me alone for admission. Thank God today i laffed at his face. here is how it went below

V.O: how are u doing?
me: fine and you?
v.o: cool, you look like my classmate Blake Jacobs
me: i just smiled, i just said everyone has a twin in this world so it happens.
v.o: pass me ur passport,i-20 and why are u going to the usa?
me: i'm going for my undergraduate studies at university of California,Los-Angeles
v.o: then he smiled he was like bruh why u keep coming at me i graduated from the same school you are going to?
me: then i said great so that means u are an alumni, he just laffed.
vo: then he said why did you decide to choose ucla?
me:then i said i have always had interest to school abroad and california was my place of preference not just becos of the environment alone but the college it self has high standard in terms of professors and good academic ranking among top schools in united states and even though it took them 2yrs for dem to consider me for admission i still will wait for them even if they took 5 yrs cos it want nuthing less than the best.
vo; said im proud of you man you waited 2 yrs?
me : yes i had admission to 3 other schools which i brought there i-20 too as proof for him to see..eiu,lsu,csu plus scholarship of 70% but i still choose to wait for ucla.
the v.o did not even ask for bank statement or sat or tofel he just said your visa will be ready in 2 days time son..enjoy ucla but dont play football. i just started laughing. it just like i went to see a friend, even the securities there were like you know this guy before i was like no oo..he said the dude never smiles.

Congrats!!!

vivysparkles: please house what's d ets phone number to call for GRE reg again??

+31320239540

webstradamus: Lol ... obviously you didn't get my drift. What I meant was having access to drive newer car models is very easy here as rental companies make them available. You don't need to own these cars or know someone who does before you can have a feel of how well they drive. You simply rent and it's pretty cheap too!

That said, buying a car here is also not a big deal Depending on your credit, you can drive out a brand new 2014 luxury car from the dealership without making any down payments and then pay for the car over 72 months Driving a "big" car does not translate to being a "big" man here. But you lucky you already have a wife here who's gainfully employed, I bet she would expedite your integration here and I won't be surprised if you start talking about buying a house in a few months time! You sure have a very bright future bro ... Oluwa is involved in your story

Yeah bro @ Oluwa is involved... I pray He's always involved.

webstradamus: Haha ... no biggie about that. It's a normal rental car here ... lol. You go drive newer motor u go tire

When you finish studying the guide, you can prep for the knowledge (written) test with this website: http://driversprep.com/test.php?state=il

That's what I used in my time. If you're into IT Cert dumps, that website is the equivalent for driving tests

Thanks boss!

@bolded.. She doesn't rent, she bought it she's a nurse and sabi pose wella...

tp://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/dsd_a112.pdf

Thanks bro, that's a great info. Can't wait to start driving my wife's 2012 camry..

@Ricky and eedris...

Let the guy be, let's assume he doesn't exist. I can't imagine giving someone like attention... We could give better suggestion that would solve people's problem on this forum with the time we would have wasted on him trying to reply him.

[quote author=justwise][/quote]Oga, did you just hide my post? If you have reading and understanding capabilities, you would understand the statement in the post that says " I don't really understand the pm thing as requested by Mike-will" If I have something to hide, would I have posted that? Or didn't you read the part of Mike-will's interview transcript that he requested I should send him a pm? Do you suggesti disregard his request? Do you think I know him from adam? If anybody request I send a pm and I took my time to drop two of my most effective contacts, do you think its just to honor this forum? Do I sound so less busy to you?

Oga, thread softly as that's very very rude of you incase you don't know.

imperiouxx: Is it that you want to change school?

Of cos not, it is for a friend, want him to study in the USA too cos he has potencials.

Can I still change my school at this hour?

Please can someone help with list of schools in US that accept 2.2 for masters program to apply for scholarship

Hello house,

Please, is vaccines done in luth acceptable anywhere in the USA? Also, can I drive with Nigeria drivers' license pending the time I'd get US drivers' license and ultimately... are students allowed to drive?

eedrism: @Foohard.....i did both SAT AND TOELF....BUT MY SAT RESULT DIDNT SHOW ONLINE BUT I STILL HAVE MY SAT EXAM TICKET,BUT I HAVE MY TOEFL RESULT BUT SCORE IS LOW because I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE EXAM WHEN I TOOK IT...ANYWAY ANY HELP U ALL THINK U CAN RENDER OR WHAT I SHOULD DO.

I know you did SAT and that your result didnt show up plus all comment and suggestions given to you by the house. Can remember Bigfrancis told you not to go with the slip and stuff..
my point is, you should fix that by writing another SAT and an awesome TOEFL score as against the one you have presently.. Then going to meet VOs would make a lot of sense.

OjaP: @ bolded : You get mouth sir. If you can get a high paying job, you can pay them back the money...shouldn't be a biggie.

If I were you, I would defer my admission by a semester so you don't spend that much on school. This way, your number will be in line for Adjustment of Status to green card through marriage since your wife started the process already. This shouldn't take more than 3-5 months. You get your 1year work permit within 30-60days. This will allow you to work.

I would then demand a refund of the remaining money from my school since I will be paying in state. The refund will then be put into good use by investing. So many ways to go about this. Plan well bro.

Good luck!!

Sounds good, you can throw more light on this and advise further Sir.

imperiouxx: How does the scholarship from home country work? Is it finish and return home or have grace of working abroad for some years?

Ordinarily, if any government of developing country offer scholarship, the beneficiaries are expected to impact the economy with whatever they might have learned in the program they sponsored. So, it is suppose to be return home immediately after schooling where things work.

Conversely, In Nigeria, the sponsor agency will even state it clearly that they do not guaranty the scholars any job on return. So, what is the scholar expected to come and do in the country? Logically, I believe working oversees would make a better CV for you in your home country meaning when you eventually return, you can get at least job in private firms.

I work for government and I know of some people that were sponsored for 7 years bachelors + master in any part of the world (mostly northerners) and the sponsor agency does not even have the records of the beneficiaries...

Think and reflect to the above, I'm sure you wont blame any scholar that choose to work oversees and so as the agency wont blame them

eedrism: @BIGFRANCIS AND IMPERIOUS say sumtin..i have paid another visa fee now and no dates in Lagos yet....have been denied 3times now,am going for the 4th time.....u guys should HELP ME OUT....What u tink i rili need to do....see we are like Brothers help me out ...it getting too much....Getting Delayed aiint Good...now am planing to use an agent to get a date now,and i will go to the embassy with my MuM and see what happens again...am not saying they Grant Visa when they see my Mum....But The confidence will be there am sure....House Help out plsssss Help needed smh #SAD

Hmn.. I pray going with your mum can change the situation as hoped. However, truth be told, you are being naive about the whole thing.. I understand how you feel and people in the house have advised you to chill and identify the loopholes in your previous denials.. I beg you in the name of GOD, dont ruin your chances of getting this VISA in the future.

Kindly reply to Ojap,i'm sure you have not fix the SAT issue. Consequently, nothing has changed in the previous data you provided to the embassy... Just like Imperoux said... It is risky

OjaP: Are you sure of this? Most people who get similar scholarships are always told to come back and work immediately after schooling, usually for 2 years. The only exception is if you are willing to pay back whatever amount they spent on you with interest. This may be different for NITDA sha.

Not sure though.. Just my thought along the statement in the terms and conditions.. If so, I still dont have problems, would have gotten my green card before i finish my masters and my job is still waiting here as i am going on a study leave pay for 2 years... So, can easy come and invest in Naija for 3 years and go back to USA if i wish...

bigfrancis21: Glad to know its NiTDA scholarship. I was aware last year when the scholarship was on. I started applying sef. I created an account, filled out the form and then got to the document upload page and discovered the NYSC requirement meanwhile I had just finished University then. I even emailed them asking if I could still apply without NYSC discharge certificate and they replied me immediately saying I should wait till next year's program when I should have been through with my NYSC. So I stopped my application. I still have my username and password with me.

Though I don't like the bond part where you must return to work in Nigeria.

Congratulations anyway!

"bolded.. You forgot the fact that you are not being forced to return immediately. All they stated was to return to naija to work for 3 years which is not difficult for me cos I dont plan to die in the USA.. All I need is gather enough knowledge in USA through schooling and working as long as I wish and return to Nigeria to be a director at a very good agency like NITDA and serve for as long as I can which would surely be more than three years

kofsy: Oh! I see . It's a pity I didn't study an IT related course



There you have it guys! If you studied computer science, computer engineer et al, and you meet the requirements, you are in luck! Go for it . 42,000 dolls no be moi moi



Thanks foohard for the info! Wishing you the very best in your studies. You must be one lucky dude Not so many people can boast of this kind of opportunity.

Thanks Kofsy.

What did you study cos I know another of such that even pays better.

Its provided by Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF). For earth sciences and some technology related courses cos computer science is included too.

Ricky Rozay: The Last thing I expected from you is to display the Name of the agency that granted you that exhorbitant Scholarship..

I must really say you are veryyy kind hearted, Many people who get this kind of scholarship will NEVER do this thing you just did even after they have secured their Visa.. They are so self centered and veryyy secretive..

Kudos to you Bro.... You are on point.. And May God continue to bless you forever and Grant your heart desires.....

Ameen and you too @ May God continue to bless you forever and Grant your heart desires.

I'm here to help and will do all within my capabilities to render the help being it information, advises, guidance and suggestions.

Ricky, thank you for appreciating me.

kofsy: Foohard! Congrats on your visa approval!


I've been meaning to ask you... Pls what's the name of the scholarship you got? And what are the requirements?

Thank you.

The scheme is for IT graduates. If you read IT related courses and graduated with 2:1 or First class, then you are eligible.

You must be a Nigerian and must have completed NYSC.

The agency in charge is National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).

Its is available for masters and Ph.D.

Goldfinger266: Hello Guyz. I am sure this is my first time of posting on this trend. Moreover, I have bin following the trend which has made mi become very familiar wit likely questions @ and d experience for the pre and post F1-visa acquisition to the US. I was at the Lagos embassy yesterday,August 1 for 7:30 am and I got my visa approved within 3mins.No single documents was asked. I missed my way twice while going outside. Security had to shout on me that I shud use d exit cos d visa has bin approved. Till now, is still doin mi like play-like play. Although, I had confidence in God that they would give me, but getting there I became so nervous that my head and ears wre so hotttt and coupled wit d fact that d place was not even conducive at all. I was not even conscious of what was going on the d embassy. I can't say rate if visa issuance/denial that yesterday. All I was conscious of was the fact that I carried GrACE. I will be posting the transcript very soon.

I thank God for making my dream of going to the US a reality. I thank my good friend who led mi to this trend,@bodeplot. He did a thorough job by ensuring I read relevants part of this trend. He never got tired to keep mi update. I thank chike George, Aramide,franklin Uba,Boluwatife, who are all in the US alredi for their support. I also appreciate all my coach on this trend, even though I have not bin active on this trend. I will post the full transcript today by God grace.


Fellow naira landers,I believe God will grant the desire of all that are yet to get their vis to d US IJN, PRAY WORKS. Kip praying and believe in God plz.......

Congrats!!!

eedrism: GOD WILL MAKE US ALL HAPPY ND GRANT OUR HEART DESIRE .....PLANNING TO REAPPLY AGAIN ASAP....BUT NO OPEN DATES IN AUGUST ATALL....CAN I USE AGENT FOR THIS HOUSE? ND ALSO I HEARD OF SUMTIN WHICH I RILI NEED TO ASK GURUS IN D HOUSE...ME ND MY TWO FRIENDS NOTICE THAT AT ABJ EMBASSY..ALL THE STUDENTS THAT CAME TO APPLY FOR F1-VISA CAME WITH THERE PARENT AND THEY WERE ALL APPROVED....ND WHEN I ASK ONE OF THEM,SAID HE JUST TOLD HIS MUM TO ACCOMPANY HIM TO THE EMBASSY,CAN I GO WITH MY MUM ASWELL WHAT DO U TINK ?

I don't think going with parents changes anything because a young guy came with her mum and was still denied because of the north, east, south question the guy asked him.

I wish you luck as you have refused to patiently identify and fix the loopholes in the previous denials.

Again, Good luck!

webstradamus: Can the location get any vaguer than that?

The one I know is on Lagos Island very close to "Onola Playing ground" and "Itafaji market". You can stroll in from Tinubu B/stop which is 50naira Napep from Obalende B/stop. I know they have other branches around lagos but don't have the address. Its a big photo studio.
