Travel › Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by happney65: 11:30pm On Apr 18, 2016 |
Fortissimo: So my people, my visa was approved today which is exactly 120 days before the start date on my I-20. My interview itself was very short with just 3 questions, so I will try describe my general experience today to add more benefit for those that may want to have an idea of how things might work.
Got to the consulate about 45mins before my scheduled time and was immediately accosted by some "gentleman" that tried to convince me that my printouts had to be coloured, stapled in some certain way, some new requirement/ regulation, etc. He tried leading me to his shop near the carpark to do the needful and obviously part with some money. From the knowledge gained on NL I knew to steer clear away from him and other shysters.
So I joined the queue but I guess I was a bit early as they were calling people for an earlier time slot. Met a lady and her brother who had come to renew their H1b visas and I made small talk with the lady. Tried making small talk with some other female F1 applicant but she wasn't having much of it. Perhaps nerves?
They finally called us to go through but some people were held back because they brought in prohibited items. This obviously delayed them. I think there is a rule that you have to join the queue from the back if you have to step away to drop prohibited items.
So finally entered the highly venerated US Consulate! Joined a queue that I thought led directly to the VOs. I started hearing the infamous speakers announcing denials...So the queue coordinator told me to go to a window and I thought wow finally! I walked up to the window full of nerves...the lady there wanted to take my biometrics and asked me to place my left hand fingers...I kept placing my right hand fingers until she repeatedly chided me. Mehn I thought wow this interview is going downhill. She asked for my documents and I struggled to pass them through the little slit until she told me just to slide them in. She did some checking and handed me back my passport with my I20 inside. I though I had been denied! I stared at her dumbfounded and refused to collect the documents until she said I was to go give them to the actual VO! I was surprised sef cos she had a Nigerian accent and I expected a VO with an American accent.
So I joined the real queue to speak to the VO...she was very respectful and courteous. Greeting people even before they reached her cubicle. Even those that she denied, she denied respectfully.
So now the transcript:
VO: Please pass your documents...just your passport. Are you a student? Ok please pass your I-20 as well. Ok...so tell me about your travel plans.
Me: I am going to Mississippi State University (MSU) for my Masters in Chemistry. I will be working with Dr. Bleep in the synthesis of natural products and I expect to use the skills I learn in MSU, when I come back to work for a pharmaceutical research institute in Nigeria.
VO: Typing...So where are you working / are you working currently?
Me: I used to work in Bleep but resigned 6 months ago to give myself sufficient time to prepare my applications and prepare for studies at the graduate level.
VO: Typing...so how are you financing your studies?
Me: I was awarded full financial aid by the school. I also have some additional personal funds.
VO: Typing...Ok I will approve your visa...(couldn't hear much past this point. she gave me the white slip and said I would need my I-20 and Sevis receipt when I enter the US).
At numerous points in the interview (especially during the pauses) I started having doubts that maybe I might be denied. I had to keep pushing those thoughts away.
Glory be to God alone!
NL is a treasure trove of info. We even have threads here that VOs themselves respond to queries. I also encourage applicants to look through the US Embassy (Nigeria)'s youtube videos, facebook page and also educationusa's facebook page. Knowledge is power. NL is an information hub..Still wondering why Seun hasnt taken NL further than this..We should have more than the 1.5million members we have here and just like FB and Twitter,every Nigerian Household should know Nairaland..Congrats once again |

Abudu2000: why are these bloggers deceiving the public for Christ sake,the use of dollars for international trade is a policy already made and sealed in the UN, unless the country wants to face sanction no one can change that treaty,so don't get your hopes up....even if you want to import from China you have to convert to dollar since the world bank deals in dollars smh for Dollards!!! omolola15 come and see this again. |

TPAND: Thumbs up man. I have been thinking I was the only one in Nigeria that understands the International Commercial Terms and Laws. all international trade in the world is transacted in dollars. It amazes Nigerians are falling for the cheap APC media stunt as usual. China wants to give Nigeria Yuan in exchange for a payback in dollars. China is so smart, give them yuan, protect their foreign reserve and the detriment of Nigeria paying back in dollars omolola15 come and see this again..We are being sold again.. |

Acidosis: These people do not know the side effects of make-up. It makes women ugly after some years
You have to keep using it to hide the gradual ugly transformations on the skin. The more you want to cover your flaws, the more the face shrinks. Not even years bro..Na so i saw one of my EX.I no even recognize her again,whereas when you see her pix she go dey look like Cinderella..she did not put on makeup that day,made her look much darker i could not recognise her again..Then i knew the effects of too much makeup..something she no dey do before..she would only apply little makeup |
