MyAmericandream:
Visa status: Approved(8:15am) on 24/07/19
Consulate: Lagos
Time: 8am
Sex of VO: Male
Window2
Scholarship: 40%
Deficit: 24,657
Issued: 26/08/19
Me: Good morning sir, I passed my passport and i20 immediately.
VO: Oh i20?
V0: You're going for your masters degree?
ME: Yes sir
VO: Oh chemistry?
ME: Yes sir
VO:When did you graduate from school?
ME: 2014
VO: So what have you been doing since then? I mean after you finished your undergraduate.
ME: I have been working, but before that, I ensured I observe the national youth service corps. Currently I work with Iwobi Nigeria limited as a fertility chemist.
VO: Is this company going to sponsor you?
ME: Not at all sir
V0: So how are you going to sponsor your trip?
ME: I already have a dean scholarship, then my uncle will cover the rest.

VO:Shocked (when he heard the scholarship) He quickly glance through my i2o to verify, Ok! So what does your uncle do? He's a real estate consultant, a property professional. He buys, sells and market properties of every description from lands, luxury apartment, flats to estates and industrial complexes.

VO: Please can you tell me why you choose this school? Looking straight into my eyes.
Me: The first and foremost factor for selecting this school was because of the amount quality research currently going on in the department which is closely similar to what I did in my undergraduate studies. I want to learn more and be part of the research group, the aim of this research is to synthesize marine natural product and their analogues for the design of drug molecules like antibacteria and anticancer chemoterapeutc agent. I'm already in touch with Professor Pier Cirillo and he's willing to absorb into his research group. Besides this, I will have access to the latest technology provided by bergami learning center for science, innovation and technology were ground breaking innovations in chemistry are carried out, innovations like design of drugs to eradicate leukemia completely, you know leukemia is a very deadly diseases? And another one again is to cultivate plant using hydroponic technology, most of the chief ingredients used in the pharmaceutical companies are derived from plants, this time around I will be learning how cultivate plants in water rather than soil. I'll also learn how to convert dead plants, waste materials into biofuels, you know our crude oil is drying up gradually? So I'll be bringing this into the gas and oil sector.
VO: Tired of listening and looked straight into his system.
ME: I'll not keep my mouth shut, after all I talk very fast(In my mind). And again the courses the faculty provides is different from the usual traditional masters program, were bioinformatics, computational modelling, biomedical polymers are not incorporated into the core curriculum, this program is a very dynamic one, it integrates different discipline to make a curriculum.
VO: Focused his eyes again at me, perhaps, enjoying what I was saying.
ME: I never finish oh, the school uses the tegrity learning approach as well, were I can always download audio and video after class for review.
VO: So what are your plans after this degree?
Me: After I must have gathered enough skills required to accelerate my career. I intend to return to the country and apply as a quality control specialist in a pharmaceutical firm ,food and beverage domain, Regulatory agency. I might report or resume (I can't figure out what I said here.)at association of, oh sorry, Nigerian bottling company were I interned as a lab analyst. As a matter of fact their is shortage of man power in quality control, because a bulk of the current labour force lacks knowedge in cut
VO: I'm approving your visa, he threw my 120 and white paper at me, my passport went straight to the tray.
ME: looking at the passport in the tray, Was still in awe, Is that all sir?
VO: Yeah
ME: That was how I picked race, I couldn't even locate the exit.

Hi all,
Please is this Invitation a red flag

My friend, "an American" is willing to give me an invitation letter to visit the US. I want to take it but afraid cos it's a pure American that is giving me the invitation letter. Though it is a genuine friendship. Do the VOs need to know who issued u an invitation? And if it's a pure American, is it a red flag for denial?

Pls someone should reply

LagosismyHome:
This is not the right place to post it , there is another group for visiting visa. It might be better to post there

That been said i have seen post here by VO which states they do not read or view Invitation letters . Instead you are access based on your home ties for visiting visa

Thanks...

My own case is that my black American friend wants to invite me for a visit. Please is this a red flag?
Do they normally want to know who is inviting u
