Transcript......
VO -good morning
Me -a very good morning sir
Vo -what are you going to the US for?
Me -to study for my Bachelors Degree program in computer science
Vo -were in U.S. You going
Me -Houston Texas
Vo -which university
Me -North America University Houston Texas
Vo -Did you apply any schools apart from this
Me -yes 3schools Oklahoma state university
East Tennessee state university
Vo -how admission did you get
Me -Oklahoma state university and North America university but East Tennessee state university is still pending.
Vo -how did you hear about this school
Me -during my SAT class I came across this paper which prove invaluable I did some digging by going to the school website and I impressed by the quality of the faculty.
Vo -Why this university instead of Oklahoma State university
Me -i have spoken to few international student and the assistant professor of computer scenice I was made to understand that in terms of education comparative NAU is standard.
Vo -do you have a SAT
Me -yes but unfortunately the score is not yet out.
Vo -who is sponsoring you?
Me -my guardian..he is my uncle
Vo -type for sometime and then said sorry you not qualify for the visa this time.

I don't know why and this is the school time I am being denied its really making me go crazy.
Sorry bro about the denial. You said so much about the SAT in your interview in the end you went on to say you had it and at the same time you don't have it; maybe I'm missing something. It is good enough reason to earn capital rejection unless that is not what you meant to say. I think any person will think like the VO. No pun intended.

My advice is, just wait for the result to come out before you push for the next. I can see time is probably running out on you. Wishing you success in your next try

I have been able to identify two Profs whose interest align with mine. I have written something to give to one for now but I need to download papers from their works like bigfrancis21 mentioned to complete my story of how I could be of help to them. I want somebody that have institution login in the states that can help me download them.Kindly indicate.
Response is highly anticipated and appreciated.

Here are the convo:

VO passed my i-20 to me without my passport and was typing oo (for my mind I know e don pure ),he now brought out the pick-up letter and circled a location there that I should pick my Visa there. I said thank you Sir and I bounced out lol.

& Others I may have missed out,

Thank you very much guys. I appreciate all your comments, I will follow it to the letter till something good comes out of it and not deffer yet.

I will start keeping close chase on the graduate advisors. I have reviewed the ongoing research work in my line in the department.

I will now review every closely related Prof's along the line of my experience and present thrust and establish contact with them to see which will accept me in their research group first. Check through one or two related publications from them and let them see how I can be help to them in that respect.

If time flies, I will deffer and use that moment to establish better contact too as they said I can deffer, if need be, that I should let them know.

I will let the house know of my progress.

Thanks again gurus in the house. My profound gratitude!!!

Thanks baba. The time they didn't mention. I not intending on attending without certainty funding while I am here in 9ja though
samnoah:
Bro, congrats. However, some questions: When are you likely to know the details of the funding that will be provided by working with the profs? Will this reflect in your I-20? If this does not reflect in your I-20, do you have any source of money other than your expectation from the School to prove at embassy? Just like you have already noted yourself, a PhD with a partial funding especially in Engineering may be somewhat financially draining. You need to be very certain about your finances. I would suggest the option of trying more schools for better funding while you wait. Other great minds will advice appropriately sha... Best!
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 7 by gsun: 4:20pm On Jun 22, 2015
Dear house,
Thank y’all for the help you are rendering to others in here.

I have a bit of problem. And here is my case:
I got a PhD offer with an engineering department at a public University in the US. In the offer it was stated that funding is not guaranteed for now that the department will try to match me with Professors having grants in line with my interest to be my advisors so I could get funding from working with them. For that reason, I moved on to accept the offer, considering that I had applied to two schools under harsh conditions and later on the lower ranked school sent me regret mail for a probable mistake on my part. Meanwhile, I already had would be advisor there.

I have ended up not contacting Prof myself in this department given that they said they would do that, I felt they knew better. I also wanted it not to seem like desperation on my part.

Now, I am looking at options and wondering if I should have gone ahead to talk with Profs myself or just stay patient and disturb the graduate advisors with reminders, as I am already preparing my mind now on deferring the admission to subsequent semester, while I try out one or two additional schools on my pool of shortlisted university. I see PhD in engineering without funding is not worth doing from reading pages of this thread and personal experience.

Fall is winding up with resumption fast approaching and I have exercise patient up till now. What do you advice? What are my chances? Can I trust them by waiting a bit longer? Your take please!

Thanks for your time!
