Novartis:

GRE is not free too

Plus US visa fees (I have no option than to pay this one)

After all these spending. US Embassy go come deny person VISA

Very wicked and thoughtless people

Like Predstan said, get a Samsung or an iPhone to be on the safe side. They work everywhere, with
other SIMs and wifi networks. Other phones like Tecno and co may be able to connect to wifi, but will most definitely not work with US sims.

You should also check for specific phone compatibility before you arrive. Even some Nokias are not supported!

Friedpotato:

Thank you. Were you notified on the 7th or 6th?

Plus even you said phones except iphone and the rest aren't supported. Did you mean it can't connect to Wi-Fi and browse or it can't read their SIM

Congratulations my man!!!

Friedpotato:
Approved. Transcript later

Congratulations!!!
Yours is a story of resilience. I'm happy for you!

I firstly want to give God all the glory and adoration for making today's interview a success. I know I can not thank him enough but I give him all the glory because it could only have been him

Secondly I thank God for blessing me with a wonderful fiance that never gave up on me even when I almost gave up on it after the 3rd time I told him I wasn't going for any interview again, he just told me let's give it one more trial and also for all the support and words of encouragement. I also have the best younger sister in the world.

Then Geewin, I messaged him from nairaland after he got his Visa approved, it has been great knowing him. He answered all my questions, helped me with appointment date, checked my transcript and also encouraged me even though he was busy making traveling preparations.

I celebrate fairheart also for helping me go through my transcript even with his tight schedules

Lastly I celebrate Tesla for the mock interviews and also linking me up with his friend Dami for mock interviews and also for the encouragement. And also everyone who helped me with mock interviews.

And to everyone who has posted transcripts in the past to encourage people going through hard times due to delay(s). May we all continue to have reasons to celebrate

You guys are the real mvps

It's a long transcrip but read till the end

VO: Good morning

Me: Good morning. Happy new year

VO: so why are you going to the US

Me: I am going for my masters degree in food science at North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University and I will be working with Prof. *** on her research which is on Nutritional Genomics.

VO: why this school
Me: I chose NCAT because I am interested in prof. *** research as I earlier said the research is on Nutritional Genomics and after making my intents known to her about my interest in her research she offered me a position as a research assistant and the position came with a funding opportunity, here is the funding letter (she didn't tell me to pass it so I held on to it)
And also the school has a track on post harvest technology i.e the school has a post harvest technology research center and it is generally known that one of the major problems of food insecurity in Nigeria is post harvest losses of farm produce, i believe i will be able to take courses on post harvest technology among other courses and make use of the knowledge upon my return to Nigeria thereby helping to reduce the problem of food insecurity.
Lastly this degree will help me ( she cuts in)

VO: I can see you have funding of ... and deficit of .... who ll be paying for the deficit?

Me: my mother

VO: what does she do

Me: she distributes Nigerian Breweries products within and outside osun state

VO: where does she live

Me: osun state in ife

Vo: what is the name of her company

Me: adet distributing company

VO: adet?

Me: Yes, from our surname

VO: ok

VO: do you have anything to proof this

Me: no, the only thing I have is her bank statement

VO: ok

VO: what is the capacity of her company

Me: she has above 40 staffs, 10 majorand above 25 contract staffs

Vo: since when has she been doing the business

Me: over 10 years

Vo: what will this course do for you

Me: upon my return to Nigeria as I was saying earlier, this degree will equip me with knowledge and skills because the research I will be working on with prof. *** as I said has never been done in Nigeria before and when I return I would continue with the research because I have been promised a position at the department of food sci. Oau where I graduated a position as a research scientist by then the equipments required would have been ready has they have written a grant towards that( she kept nodding and I didn't look away)

VO: what did you study during your undergraduate

Me: I'm going for my masters degree in food science

Vo: I mean your undergraduate (pointing at my I-20)

Me: oh I studied food science at oau

VO: what year did you graduate

Me: I graduated in 2018

VO: what have you been doing since then

Me: after graduation, I went for the compulsory NYSC and finished late 2019, early 2020 I resumed at the department of food science oau as a research assistant

VO: you are working as a research assistant?

Me: I am volunteering as a research assistant due to my interest in research. I assist Dr. *** in preparation, writing and review of manuscripts and journal articles also in performing experiments on her research

VO: what is the research about?

Me: we worked on the bioactve compounds in pawpaw, we word on the determination of the abundance of bioactive compounds in pawpaw before the lockdown ( I stammered at first before I regained balance but I didn't take my eyes off as she kept nodding and typing)

VO: what were you doing during the lockdown, did you take professional courses or what

Me: since we were done with the experiments before the lockdown, I assisted in writing of articles and journals

VO: ok, what have you been doing since after lockdown

Me: like I said we have been writing manuscripts and journals and we haven't been able to resume since ASUU is still on strike and I have been making preparations for resumption

VO: so what will you do when you return?

Me: as I earlier said I will be resuming as a research scientist at OAU because I will be working on the experiment since it has never been done in Nigeria and by then the equipments would have been available

VO: so you have a job already

Me: yes

How many siblings do you have

Me: 4, 3 elder siblings who are married and working and a younger sibling who is in her 3rd year in oau

VO: what did you say

Me: I repeated same thing

VO: do you have any friend in the Us

Me: no, just the ones I have been in contact with

VO: I can see you have funding, how can you proof to me that you will be working as a research assistant ( I guess she asked that because of the way they stated the funding in my I-20, I had the same issue with the black VO in Abuja the last time)

Me: I have emails printed here that I got from her and from the international office ( Fortunately I printed the emails they sent to me when I told them I wasn't going to be able to resume for orientation and all) she passed it back then I passed her the funding letter

VO: then she said the words, i will be approving you visa. I collect the white slip it and just left crying, thanking God

It was when I got back to the hotel I realized she didn't circle the pick up location but it doesn't matter anyway.

Yes.

Ftos:
Please has anyone who got visa approved on 31st December picked up his/her?
Please, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you!

Congratulations man!

God bless your journey.

Visa approved minutes ago at Abuja Embassy
First application
MS Civil Engineering at UT Chattanooga
COA - 40k, Graduate Assistantship - 42k, no deficit.

January 5, 7.30AM

Got to the embassy like 6.45am, met a lot of touts outside. They kept asking me "have you arranged your documents? have you done this, have ou done that..I just ignored all of them. Went in around 7am. The cgi lady asked for I-20, DS-160, appointment confirmation and passport. She checked everything and told me my passport photograph is too small and does not meet specification. I went outside to take another passport for 2,500naira. 4 Passports for 2,500 naira!! Anyway I had no option but to take it. I went back in to join the queue

Met one black guy who checked passport and i-20 and collected the photograph. Next is one fine lady at window 4 where we did biometrics.. waited for another 30minutes before I was called to window 9.

Meanwhile the 3 applicants before me - denied, approved, denied. I have done mental calculation that the next in the series is approved, and that is me, (PS: the candidate after me was denied too.)

VO: Good morning, please pass your passport and I-20.
Me: Okay (pass documents).

VO; So what do you do currently in Nigeria
Me: I work as a Project Engineer with xyz company. My job function involves facility construction and upgrade, warehouse constructions, infrastructure developments and software deployment.

VO: Okay, fine. Why Tennessee.
Me: Ah Tennessee perfectly aligns with my research interests. I checked out a lot of schools online and spoke with a lot of professors, but this particular professor working on application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in transportation systems fits my needs. I will be working on developing models to predict congestion and traffic control.

VO: Okay, are you married, do you have kids
Me: Oh yes I am married, but no kids. My wife is currently running her undergraduate degree here in Nigeria.

VO; Is she going with yo?
Me: oh no. She can't abandon her degree. She will complete her degree while I am running my program and I will be coming to check her every couple of months.

VO: Good, what was your undergraduate degree
Me: I have a bachelors degree in Civil Engineering from the University of xxxx in Nigeria.

VO; Good, when is your program starting
Me: 13 January next year, oh sorry, this year.

VO; (pauses for some seconds and type furiously, I was praying and calling unto God in my mind): Your visa is recommended for approval. Take this slip, it contains instruction on how to pick up your passport. It usually takes 2-4 business days for administrative processing, but could be more or less. Thank you and enjoy your trip
Me: Thank you and enjoy your trip too (well I didn't know why I said that.. maybe it was joy lol)

.......

I was awake since 3am praying unto God and seeking His blessings. I believe it is just pure grace. Not by my power or might. All thanks to God. Please wish me safe trip to Chattanooga!

Congratulations!!!

Kingbeeeee101:
You guysssssssssssss.... I just got my visa . In Abuja. I’ll post transcript soon pls... let me catch my breath

Sorry about the denial.

If you could publish your interview transcript and your details, the gurus in the house may be able to help review the situation and advise accordingly.

You may want to consider deferring your enrollment to a future session (e.g. Fall 2021). This should give you ample time to right the wrongs in your application and make a better case for an acceptance.

Imhans:
Good morning and happy new year to you all, I got denied last week then reapply for another appointment and was given march 21st 2021 while my school is suppose to resume this 9th january, I requested for expedited date but got denied. My question now, is it of any use for me to go for the interview or I should just forget it. Pls i need urgent respond cos am pained

Congratulations!!@

This should help:

Opaofafrica:
Hello guys . Got my Visa Approved at Abuja yesterday . Thanks to all info you guys have been dropping here . Pls how can I track my passport till its available for pick up .

Thanks so much guys �

Yes, I filled a new DS form when I reapplied. Nothing overly different; just finishing touches here and there.

I also attempted to reapply immediately, but ultimately, the availability of dates determines how soon you can file another application.

Hope this helps.

ArDun:


Waoh! Congratulations!!!

Did you fill new Ds160 for your second attempt. Change anything on it... And please how long did you wait before you reapplied?

I was delayed and considering another application immediately.

No you don't. Don't let them deceive you and make you feel your documents aren't complete.

You don't need four passport photographs: just one!

Check the interview checklist posted here by Fairheart some sometime ago to see what you need and what you don't.

All the best in your interview!

FutureSenator:
All these touts trying to extort me in Abuja. Guys I hope I don't have to staple anything.

Nope. The era of reciprocity fee has ended.

I wish you the best of luck in your interview!

blvckmiles:
Please is there a fee to be paid after your Visa has been approved?
I have my interview tomorrow

Yes you can, if you really need to. Otherwise just stick with your current one. I also had to fill a new DS form, and I filled it the night before my interview.

If the location is the only issue, I don't think there's need to stress yourself with filling another one.

lawali:


Hi cane berry/ gurus in the house, pls I need some clarifications regarding filling new DS 160 because of change of interview place from Lagos to Abuja.

I initially filled DS 160 to attend interview at Lagos but due to no closer available date, I rescheduled to Abuja. I still observed my current DS160 for the appointment is still having Lagos but I am not sure if I need to change it since same DS 160 is used for MRV fee and current appointment.

My interview date is Tuesday (about 2days). Do I/can I still filled another DS160 for this appointment without scattering things?

Appreciate your timely response.

You'll really need to keep an eye out on the portal sir. Dates open up spontaneously every now and then. Before I saw that particular date, I had gone several weeks seeing "no dates available".

Alternatively, you can get another MRV fee and apply for an expedited appointment. If you plead your case well and supply the requisite documents, you may just be approved. Quite a number of people here did same and got appointments.

KushCollectible:


Like you just logged in to your dashboard and saw the date available?

Because all I've been getting since my denial is no dates currently available.

Thank you very much.

I actually applied through the CGI website.

KushCollectible:


Congratulations Geewin. So happy for you.

Can you explain how you were able to get a new interview date after being denied recently?

Chonco:


Nawa o. See Transcript. �
Congrats.

At the Bolded, I'm sure this attached picture explains your reaction at that moment.

Yes boss. No time!

horlahsunbo225:


Congrats my Guy
BGSU way!!!!

Geewin69:
Visa approved.
Lagos consulate.

- Previously refused
- CoA - $29k
-$2k funding
- Uncle as sponsor

Na God do this one o. My interview lasted over 25 minutes with the black lady in window 4. She denied two people in front of me. But God came through for me.

Transcripts later. Let me catch my breath.

So here's the transcript.
Visa Approved
Lagos Consulate.
December 31st 2020
Previously denied.
Time: 9:30 am, arrived at about 9 am and went straight to the CGI place. No crowd.

Got into the consular section, three VOs were conducting interviews. One black american lady, I call her the drill sergeant. Then there was one white male with long hair and a cute smile. He seemed cool, like he was really interested in having conversations with applicants. The third VO was one semi-elderly man.

By the way, miss drill sergeant was drilling people and denying them. She denied three people right before my eyes. I wanted to meet the nice white guy, but I ended up in front of Mrs. Drill Sergeant. According to my wrist watch, my interview lasted about 25 minutes. We were less than six in the hall then, so they really took their time.

Here goes.

Me: Good morning ma’am. Compliments of the season.
VO: Good morning. Please pass your passport and I-20.
***Biometrics***

VO: Where are you going to?
Me: I am going to Bowling Green State University for my Masters degree in Healthcare Administration

VO: (starts typing)…so why did you chose this school?
Me: Several things stood out for me in BG ma’am. Firstly, in my preliminary research on all the schools I shortlisted, I discovered that BG is actually rated very high in terms of teaching quality. Additionally, the course content for this program at BGSU features a unique blend of theoretical teaching, clinical exposure, case study simulation, and core digital health applications. I will be taking courses in Health leadership, healthcare financing, Health services administration, health law and Ethics, Managing Healthcare complexities, and the one I’m most excited about, the Application of Technology in Clinical Healthcare Practice. This will equip me to become a more effective healthcare administrator, capable of proffering practical solutions to healthcare problems in Nigeria when I return. I am particular about helping to enhance healthcare accessibility for women and children in rural communities, because this is where I’m from, this is where I have roots, and this is where I want to make impact. So for me, it was about finding a place where I can build the right skills and competencies to advance my career when I return to the country.

I was gesticulating and raising my hands everywhere. My voice was shaky but grew stronger and louder with time. VO was nodding profusely, feeling my soundtracks.

Me: I continued. To top it all, I was also awarded a partial tuition scholarship to cater for some of my tuition costs.

VO: (looks at my I-20 and asks) So who will be paying your $26k deficit?
Me: My maternal uncle. He is the CEO of bleep. His sponsorship is capped at $30,000 per year for each year of my studies, and covers tuition, accommodation, living costs, health insurance and a return ticket after my program. (pause) I understand that I am not supposed to suggest things to you, but I actually have my sponsor’s personal account statement here with me. With your permission I will retrieve it from my folder.

VO: (nods and continues typing. All this while she didn’t break eye contact, and she didn’t stop typing furiously.)

VO: Give me one moment, I’d be right back.
Me: Okay ma’am. No worries.
(she put off the mic and left for about five minutes)

She returned.
VO: So where did you say you are going again? (glancing at my I-20)
Me: I’m going to Bowling Green State University for my masters degree in Healthcare Administration, for a period of two years.

VO: Do you stay on your own?
Me: No ma’am. I stay at my parents’.

VO: Have you been outside the country before? (she glanced at my passport and saw an Ethiopian visa there) You have been to Ethiopia…
Me: Yes ma’am. Last year I was invited by the African Union Commission to attend a high-level conference at the African Union Headquarters in Addis-ababa, Ethiopia. I also got some recognition for my work in telemedicine.

VO: Do you have any documentation for that?
Me: No I don’t ma’am.

VO: One moment please. (She walked away with my passport and returned after about 3 minutes)
So what did you say your Uncle does again?
Me: I repeated my earlier response, with a bit more emphasis.

VO: (nodding) Are you married?
Me: Not yet ma’am.

VO and me simultaneously: But you/I have a fiancé.
Me: Yes ma’am. (paused for a second) And she’s adorable ;-)

VO: What does your fiancé do?
Me: Told her what she does.

VO: And she’s not traveling with you?
Me: No ma’am. Not at all. We actually plan to get married on the 7th of January, 2023.

VO: So when did you meet?
Me: Gave her our history.

VO: How long have you been together?
Me: Gave her the history

VO: (scrolls on her system..) Now in your previous interview in November…(I wanted to say, “yes I was denied”, but I believe God just kept my mouth shut. Then she stopped talking and started focusing on her screen. Then she asked)
What does your dad do?
Me: I told her the same thing I told the previous VO. (I think this was a make or break point, because the previous VO probably took notes about that; so if I had told her something different, I would have been a goner).

VO: (continues nodding and typing) So what do you do presently?
Me: I actually resigned in June 2020 to prepare for my graduate studies, which was previously scheduled to commence in fall 2020. However, since I was unable to secure an appointment, I deferred to Spring semester. And instead of rushing back into employment, I decided to keep myself engaged by taking relevant online courses and volunteering for Eagle World Outreach Global Food Support Project, where I coordinate the distribution of free food and relief materials to poor families in my community. I actually heard about this organization online, and I reached out to them to extend their program to my community. They sent me funds, and I set up a small team, purchased food items and distributed to poor families.

VO: So where did you work before?
Me: Up until June 30th 2020, I worked as a Laboratory attendant at Ikorodu general hospital. My day to day roles involved taking inventory of lab supplies and reporting in case reagent stocks were almost exhausted, performing haematological and pathological tests including malaria tests and widal tests, and directly assisting the head of lab services as often as occasion demands.

VO: Where did you work before this place?
Me: I actually co-founded a health tech start up last year, and I worked as the Team Lead of the Research Design team. My work required me to design qualitative and quantitative research to get information about specific research fields within our target demographic. I stopped middle of last year because I lost my main funder, and my co-founder bailed on me and joined a direct competitor.

(She kept nodding and looking at her screen.)

VO: Give me one more moment, please. I’d be right back.
Me: No worries ma’am.

VO: (returned after like 2 minutes and started typing furiously)
Me: You’re welcome back ma. (at this time, I was already tired. My legs were sweaty)

Me: I hope you are enjoying your stay in the country ma’am.
VO: Oh yes, thank you. Now just hold on a minute okay. (she kinda asked me to not talk while she typed)

All this while, I was praying and raining fire on her brain. Then she stopped typing and her hand hovered over the blue slip I was given before. My heart broke. Then she lifted her hand, looked around for white slip, and finally found one on her wall. Then she said those magic words…

VO: Okay. So I will be approving your visa. Take this white paper…(then I didn’t hear anything again. The popular deafness, I guess; but I wasn’t having any of it...)
Me: Uhm, ma, many people speak about this deafness that comes after receiving the white slip. They say they don’t hear anything afterwards. I think the same thing just happened to me, but I’m really interested in hearing that thing…

VO: Oh, I’m saying that this paper will tell you how to pick up your passport. You should also keep your I-20 well, as you’ll be needing it every time you go in and out of the US. Las las, she said some other things again that I didn’t get, but I let go.

That is how it happened oo! God is faithful!

Side notes: prayer works, but preparation + prayer is a match made in heaven. Pray like you’ve not prepared, prepare like you’ve not prayed. More importantly, the delivery is more important than the preparation. Prepare all you want, but make sure you bring your A-game to the interview.



Best of luck to all those having interviews soon.

Reach out to people directly. Call their names out. You have one shot to make this happen; go all out. You're being too gentle jor.

Motolani25:
Good evening and happy new year to you all.

My visa interview is in a couple of days
Please I need someone to help me out with a mock interview. Thanks

Congratulations! Have you been notified to pick up your passport?

Jugghead69:
Visa Approved
School: Tennessee Technological University
Program: MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Interview Date: 31st December, 2020.
Time of Appointment: 7:00am
Location: Lagos Consulate
No funding or scholarship of any kind.
COA: $37k (this also includes estimated living costs though).

My appointment was for 7:00am and I was one of the early birds. This was also my very first interview for student visa, but my interview date had been rescheduled twice by CGI. The guys started attending to us at about 6:30 (about 10 of us first) and we were directed to a hall that could only accommodate about 11 people, because of social distancing. I was the second to the last and I got to hear a lot of the other interviews. We were interviewed by an African American lady at Window 4. Anyway, here goes:

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning. (I passed my passports and other documents before she got to ask for them)

VO: Place your four right fingers on the scanner.
Me: Very well. (I placed it and pressed it like I wanted to break it).

VO: Have you travelled outside of Nigeria before?
Me: Yes I have.

VO: To the US?
Me: Yes, as well as a couple of other countries.

VO: When was your last trip to the US?
Me: November 2019.

VO: Did you travel alone?
Me: I went along with one of my sisters.

VO: What did you go there for?
Me: I went for vacation.

VO: Okay, so where are you going to?
Me: I’m going to the Tennessee Technological University to pursue a MSc degree in ECE.

VO: Why did you choose this school?
Me: For 3 reasons. First off, I had the privilege of visiting the school during my last trip to the US and I interacted with one of the professors whose ongoing research aligns perfectly with my research interests. Secondly, the cost of attendance is relatively affordable and lastly, the cost of living in Tennessee is very affordable and my budget can accommodate it perfectly.

VO: Who would be sponsoring your education?
Me: My father.

VO: And what does he do?
Me: He is the Managing Partner at Bleep company.

VO: Okay, I see you have a sister in the US.
Me; Yes, she’s there on a Non-immigrant visa.

VO: Alright, and what is she doing in the US?
Me: She’s doing a PhD in Environmental Science.

VO: Okay, your visa is approved. Take this paper, it contains more information about the collection of your passport. Take your I-20 and SEVIS fee receipt, as you’ll be needing them at the POE. Congratulations and have a good one.

Note: This was favor and it actually didn’t last for more than 3 minutes. You need to be confident and audible. If you stutter, let the VO know before you commence your interview. Look the VO in the eyes, mine was easy because she was pretty (jokes though). Pray and have faith and if you’re an atheist, believe in yourself and your capabilities.

Big thanks to Fairheart, Texrem, Ndawe, Rubyprincess and Oludare01. God bless you guys real good.

You may want to log on to www.bgsu.edu. All the answers you need are there.

Oluwatosin2000:
Happy New year �

Does anyone know about BGSU? Bowling Green State University. Does the school require the SAT? How much is their application fee too

So sorry about this bro. I know how it feels! I remember your interview, and how the VO was cutting you short more than once. But he seemed really interested in having conversations with applicants! While I cannot say exactly why the denial happened as I'm not a VO, I think some of your answers were not convincing enough.

From your transcript, you didn't mention anything about your intended program, how you chose it, why you chose it, and what it would do for you in future. I guess that's what the VO wanted to hear. By applying for a Visa, you are attempting to take a life-changing step into a new culture, new environment, new life, new friends, and new experiences; surely your motivation for taking the step must be MORE than the school's business program rating and $15k funding

If you consider reapplying in the near future, please work on these areas, and practice well. There are lots of gurus here you can reach out to for mock interviews. Read a lot of transcripts too, to have a feel of what works and what doesn't.

The gurus in the house will shed more light on the subject matter.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Pls where did I get it wrong

I believe you may have to wait to receive the notification to come and pick it up. It shouldn't be long before that comes.

BTW, when was your interview?

Sammiebravo:
Hello Everyone. Happy New Year:

Pls It's as regards passport pick up. I tracked my passport online and it indicated, Passport is ready for pick up! Pls do I still need to wait for another sms update from the DHL Office at Oshodi before I go over to their office to pick it up? Those who picked up their passport recently from DHL Osohodi Centre, What do advice? Thanks.

RS411:
Hi everyone, thank you for providing this amazing support here.

Please I applied for Spring 2021 but haven't got a decision yet because of the holidays but I'd like to know how long it takes for i-20 to be out after payment. I need to know if I can still make it by the 25 January start date.

Please any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

What do you actually mean by "I haven't got a decision yet"? If this refers to an admission decision, then I think you may have to wait until the holidays are over to get that decision.

The outcome of that decision, and the time it arrives, should define what next steps you will be taking.
