I did mine on 15th of July. You should send a mail to support-nigeria @ ustraveldocs . com they will tell you exactly where your passport is. Mine stayed 4working days at the embassy before it was sent to DHL.

Its time for testimony, visa approved yesterday, should have posted transcript but was a little busy. I was up for the 6.30am appointment, we got checked in and all and about 8.30am, I was called to the VO in window 7, find below the conversation that took place between US;

ME; Goodmorning
VO; Did not answer, please kindly pass me your documents
ME; passes it, He took my biometrics and then asked
VO; Why are you going to the USA?
ME; I am going to the USA for my Masters Program in Agriculture, Agriculture Operations at the Murray State University
VO; Why Murray State University?
ME; I choose Murray State University because the Hutson school of agriculture is hierachical extremely especially in my field of study as it does provide student with the current and breaking agricultural technology, Most importantly, I am most fascinated by the experiment been carried out in the department by Prof David Ferguson on Renewable agriculture and Food system, this research expriement tallies greatly with my field of study and I did contact him through the department and he said he would love to have me as part of his research team when I arrive on campus, the school also has excellent research facilities like the four farm complexes equipped with the latest agricultural technology, the pullen farm and also the equine centre, the student faculty ratio is 16 to 1 and I know I would be impacted with a top quality education. (at this point he was looking at me critically, I starred back at him too)
VO; When did you finish?
ME; I graduated from the University of Agriculture in 2011
VO; Who will be paying for this?
ME; My dad
VO; What does he do?
ME; I said he is a professional agriculturist and also a mechanized farmer, He is the CEO of ×××××××××× Farms Ltd.
VO; said Mechanized farmer, he brings out the white paper and passes both white paper and i20 back to me and says your visa is granted, you can pick it up in one week, at this point my legs was shaking,

I jumped out elated, I just want to give all glory to God, the author and finisher of my faith, He showed me mercy yesterday, when I was on the que, I was so nervous, inspite of my confidence before we entered, when I entered the interview hall, I could hear my own breathing, I was just looking at how the blue form was been brandished right, left and centre and this made me more nervous, and suddenly i heard a voice speak inside me, called my name and said, i have completed the work for you, you can see the blue and white paper, its left for you to decide the one you want, be timid and take the blue one or be brave and grab the white one I have prepared for you. And that was when the courage came from the Almighty, I want to thank Him once again, He is an amazing father and I would serve Him for the rest of my life.

I hope this little piece will inspire others, To the other prospective students going for interviews, you will get it in Jesus name, its ok to be nervous, I was too, the main thing is to try and adjust yourself before getting to the VO, work hard, write the standerdized test, (even though I was not asked, I wrote both the GRE and TOEFL, no document was asked from me and God just glorified Himself in my life) and above all PRAY!

This thread is wonderful, I want to thank all the people that are contributing positively to this thread, you are all an amazing bunch, you inspire me, May joy never cease in your lives in Jesus name, to my good friend who was delayed yesterday, remember delay is not denial, fire back asap and with God on our side you will get it this time. To Master Jesus I just wanna say you are an amazing father!

thank you sir, God bless you

You need not worry. I graduated from a department with two different majors in Ife. Yet, our admission letters read same thing. You will be fine.

Well, for the purpose of the VO, you might as well explain what your admission officer told you. However, getting to print the correspondences won't be a bad idea. I suggest that, please.

Importantly, you should know that you are the one that will determine the course of the interview. If the VO asks you what you have been admitted for, tell him/her you desired course and that it's just a school policy to write that on the I20. You are fine.

Hakuna matata.

Goodafternoon house, i must commend everyone on this thread; you all have been doing a fantastic job; as you lend a helping hand to people in need God will continue to take care of your own needs too. I just need advise on something, i have been admitted to the Murray State University for a Masters in Agriculture Program. The Course i applied for was Agriculture/Agribusiness Economics and this was what was stated on my letter of admission from school but when my I20 came with the letter; my major there was stated as Agriculture, Agriculture Operations; i have called my admission officer and asked about this and she said the Agriculture, Agriculture Operations stated on my I20 is just a general name for all agriculture masters program and thats how they state it on the I20 that i would still be doing my Agriculture, Agribusiness Economics in School. My concern now is i have been told its my I20 that would be collected by the VO; should i prepare for answers related to the course stated on my I20 or the one stated in the letter. I have been told by a friend who has gotten his visa that i should prepare for answers relating to Agriculture, Agribusiness Economics; just a little concerned if the VO sees am stating something different from what he sees on the I20 which is Agriculture, Agriculture Operations. I just need clearification. Thank you Sirs.......PLEASE SIRS I NEED MORE ANSWERS!
