Yes, i have really learnT Alot from this thread and it encouraged me to do everything by myself without using any agent.

I got my i20 and admission letter sent from the school to a friends address in newyork and he helped me to send it down here to Nigeria. I filled out my ds-160 and did all necessary things myself. Though my friend helped me to pay the sevis fee over there and I paid him the equivalent in Naira.

Note:
Age: 28
i finished high school 2005.
Finished OND 2009 (civil. Engineering)
BSC from KAMPALA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY UGANDA. (Information Technology) 2016

Was admitted to the CC in Michigan (computer science )

I just want others to learn from this regardless of whatever age they are and also the Most important thing is to be PRAYERFUL AND BE PREPARED.

At first i was denied at abuja and my Transcript goes thus.

VO: good morning
Me: good morning.
VO: why are you going to the us
Me: i am going to the US to study at ******cc so that i can have more technical expertise in my field which is going to help me after my course to be able to secure a good job back home here in Nigeria
VO: what is your highest qualification
Me: bsc in information technology from KIU uganda
VO: (cuts in) why are you going for an associate degree since u have bsc already.
Me: yes i am going for the degree because i really want to have more technical knowledge than what I have been thought. ( i knew i messed up there).
VO: are u trying to tell me you were not taught any practical during your years at school. AM SORRY YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO GET THIS VISA. hands over the blue paper and retured my things.

I left, not so disappointed and the only thoughts in my head was what to do next. I left abuja the following morning back to lagos and reapplied 2 days after. Had to pay the visa fees again but my sevis payment was still valid and i could still use it. I filled the form myself again and didnt change anything. Because i dont want to lie about anything so that this doesnt affect my application.
I booked an appointment for the following week in lagos 6:30 am.

Got to the embassy around 5:30am and waited till the whole process started. This time around i was feeling more confident and not nervous like the first time. When i got in i was the fifth on queue but i got scared and prayed in my mind that I want to be interviewed by the person that would definitely approved my visa. So i had to excuse myself to use the toilet and joined the queue from behind because i believe i was still a little bit shaky so i needed more time.

My transcript in lagos embassy goes thus.

Vo: good morning (with all smiles on her face)
Me: good morning

Vo: pass me your passport and i20 and asked why are you going to this school.
Me: i am going to *****cc because it is a school with a well structured curriculum which has a good student ratio and according to what i have heard about this school it is really a good school which definitely suits what i have been looking for.

Vo: did u apply to other schools.
Me: no i didnt

Vo: why
Me: this school was recommended to my mom by my uncle who has been in the us for over 10 years and more also 2 of his sons went to this school.

Vo: where does your uncle lives now.
Me: he lives in michigan but presently right now he is home here in nigeria.

Vo: what about his sons. Where are they presently.
Me: they are done with their prospective courses and they are back home, working in a good company and doing well. I still saw them 2 weeks ago and they reminded me of how good the school is.

Vo: who is funding your trip and expenses
Me: my mom.

Vo: what does she do.
Me: she is a retired principal laboratory scientist from one of the government hospital but now has her own pharmaceutical store she is managing.

Vo: what have u been doing since u finished high school.
Me: i have been working for my mom in her store and i also managed to get my bsc

Vo: what will this course do for you on completing it.
Me: its really going to help me gain more technical expertise in my field and more also the us is a big market where we have the best companies in the technical field like IBM, DELL, LINUX and also it is a place where all the best student in the whole world converges and share their knowledge with each other. So this is really going to help me have more international relations as well and i believe all this will really help me to get a good job back home here in nigeria.

Vo: what courses would you be taking
Me: java, c+, basic programming, linux

Vo: cuts in. Am approving your visa. Pick it up at the circled location in the next 3 bussiness days. Do not forget. You will need your i20 at your point of entry.
Me: thank you. Packed my things and left. Was not even interested in any other things she was saying anymore.

Was just smiling while walking out.
I was so happy, at least. No agent helped me.
I just want others to learn that with a cc you can still get a visa even though the chances are very slim. But the main key point is just to be prayerful and let the Almighty God lead you.

This is a confidence boaster for those applying through community college. One just need to go straight to the point on the importance of the course to a person. And above all grace and favour of God matters most. God can do what seems impossible. Congrats

Jesusbabygirl:

LagosismyHome:

If sucessfully please ask them to tell you of other locations for Nigeria and also the whole process. And please come tell us which will help inform others . Thanks

Okay thanks. Really appreciate your response. If successful I will ask of other locations.

I think it is true. There is a quickpay menu on the western union software. The bank staff is probably not aware. The info is here with Nigerians allowed through the window.

Okay bro. I will check it out.

Walspring:
There is nothing like such and don't waste your time going because I believe if the info is REAL, the person who posted it would give a good and concise details on that..

Okay thanks for the response.

Good evening wonderful people! I read it here last week that one can make SEVIS payment through Western union Quickpay. I went to one first bank here in Ibadan western union section that I want to make SEVIS payment via Quickpay but seems the guy doesn't know anything about quick pay. Please who has paid for SEVIS via Western union or who can help out? Thanks in advance.

Good morning VO,

I graduated 2013 with a degree in Psychology but I want to get an Associate degree in human resource management in a community college in US. My sponsor is in the US(citizen). My questions are:

Will my sponsor being a us citizen be contacted during interview?

Will my sponsor's account statement be needed during interview?

Does my work and travel history determines getting my F1 Visa?

Thanks in advance.

You are about to waste your 1.5M because the agent is a fraudster. You can't secure unskilled job in Canada from Nigeria and you can't work legally with tourist visa in Canada. That agent is a thief and if you doubt me try it and see the result.

Thanks justwise. The agent told me to submit my cv and credentials and yet I was told he can only get me unskilled job. I just wonder.

Hi everyone! I am new on this thread and have read through almost all the pages.

I want to seek your advise on this. I met an agent who said he can help me get a working visa in Canada and said it's only unskilled job he can process because my B.Sc degree cannot get me a skilled job because Canada doesn't value the qualifications here and he said I should pay 1.5M, flight ticket fee included and accommodation will be provided with the job in Canada.

My question now is aside the accommodation that will be provided can someone live a good life with unskilled job in Canada in terms of wages paid for unskilled jobs? And can I as well get myself a skilled job after a year or two doing unskilled job?

Please I need everyone's advice but no insult. Thank you all in advance.
