Me : Good morning to you Madam
Consular : Please pass me your documents.
Consular: I see you'll be going to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for a masters degree in Civil engineering.
Me: Yes, madam
Consular : How did you hear about this school?
Me: I first learnt about this university in an online research paper that is on the production of biogas from the anaerobic degradation of food wastes. So I explored the program website, learnt about the professor and I added the school to my list and applied.
Consular: Did you apply to any other schools.
Me: Yes, I did. I applied to 2 other universities, nanely: old dominion university and the University of South Carolina.
(Consular was quite while she typed)
So I added, I received two admits, one from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the other from Old dominion university, while I had one reject from the university of South Carolina. So I had 2 admits and 1 reject.
Consular: What do you plan to do after graduation?
Me: with this masters degree, I hope to apply for a position in academia at my Alma mater,; Chukwuemeka Odumegu Ojukwu university, where I currently work as a research assistant at the Civil Engineering department. I want to pass on the world class knowledge I'd be acquiring to the new generations of Engineers in Nigeria,and also it will help me in achieving my long term goals of liasing with professors in my Alma mater ,as well as professors in other universities here in Nigeria ,so as to help start similar researches here in Nigeria, just like what I will be working on which is on the production of biogas from the anaerobic degradation of food wastes.
Consular: What is your highest degree ?
Me : I have a bachelor's of Engineering degree certificate .
Consular : When did you acquire it?
Me : in 2017
Consular : what have you been doing since then?
Me: After graduation in 2017, I went for the compulsory NYSc program and it ended late 2018. In 2019, I started preparing and I wrote the Standardized tests such as the Gre and TOEFL examinations. Currently, I work as a research assistant at the Civil Engineering department in my Alma mater, Chukwuemeka Odumegu Ojukwu university, were I assist with the preparation, writing, and review of journal articles and manuscripts, and so far we have carried out a research that is on the seasonal variation of the surface water quality of Obizi Stream.

Consular: Is your program 3years ?
Me: it's 2 years plus 1 year OPT.( infact I emphasized that it was optional.. So basically 2years,because that's what I filled on ds160 application)
Consular : Have you traveled out of Nigeria before?
Me: Yes, I traveled to India in 2016 ,to have a left robotic pyloplasty surgery, because I was suffering from a pelvic ureteric junction obstruction.
Consular: do you have any relative in the USA?
Me: yes, I have a distant relative.
Consular : How will you be paying for the deficit?
Me : In addition to the graduate assistantship I received that covers my full tuition, my mother will be paying the deficit.. ( She didn't even allow me to continue). She cut in..
Consular : Do you have the bank statements to show for the available funds?
Me : yes, I do... Then I gave her the statements.
Consular: The sum of $ dollars was deposited last week
Me: I said yes, in addition to the money that was previously in the account...
Consular: so that makes it $?
Me : Yes, in addition to my mother's salary bank account in Naira bank statement and her pounds bank statement.
Consular : What does your Mother do?
Me: My mother is a medical radiographer at **** where she has been working for 17 years now, and currently holds the position of the manager of the radiography department.

She took few minutes typing, she withheld my international passport ,served me the white slip on directions to pick my passport...

She finally approvedy Visa. The I said God bless you Ma.

Congratulations

Please is it compulsory that the passport on my DS-160 form should be the same as the one I will take to the embassy, cos I snapped the picture I used for my DS-160 on my phone. So I don't have a passport copy.

Congratulations,
According to https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/study/student-visa.html, which is the official site of the US Consulate;
"Student (F and M) visas for new students can be issued up to 120 days in advance of the start date for a course of study. However, you will not be allowed to enter the United States on your student visa more than 30 days before the start date"[i][/i]

Thanks

frapzkid:
From September intake..
I guess your day of earliest resumption should be August ending...

So with that in mind you can book any day from April 25th...
I suggest you book now. Cos currently all days in March and April are completely or almost filled up.
Also booking early enough would not put you in so much pressure if God forbid you are denied visa. You would be able to comfortablely reapply before your school resumes.

Thanks

Hi guys, I was admitted for fall semester. Can I book for appointment now or I should wait till August

EncephalonPikin:
Thanks for the info, not within my purchasing power however . Maybe someday in the future.

Please I heard there is a phone brand that works anywhere both US or Nigeria all you have to do is just change the sim card. Please what's the name?

School : GSU, MS Biology
COA: 51,380$
Funding: 51,000$
Deficit: 380$

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning Officer, trust you are good?
VO: I am good. Thank you. Please pass me your i-20 and passport
Me: I did.
VO: what are you going to do at Georgia state University?
Me: I am going to Georgia state university for my master's degree in Biology with focus on Environmental Biology.
VO: Why are you going to Georgia, do you have a family there?
Me: I chose GSU because they offer me a very generous and amazing scholarship in form... ( VO cut in, Yes I can see it). I jumped to my second point! GSU has s very flexible and robust curriculum with great research output and activity that perfectly fit my career prospect( the prospect didn't want to come out but I had to force it out) as an Environmentalist and a Biomedical scientist.
I was also passionate about the research ongoing in Prof Chin lab (but at this time, the VO was interrupted for few seconds by one Lady Lady. So I had the VO telling the Lady to wait a bit so he could finish up with this gentleman ( that's me). At this time, I took deep breath and organised my thoughts for the next question.
VO: What do you do?
Me: I am a Civil Servant, and I work with the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources.
VO: What exactly did you do?
Me: I told him how I was so the safety coordinator, and how I ensure no employee catch COVID. Just my job description in my DS. (VO cut in.. That's perfect) but I wanted to keep talking but he had already given me the white paper, so I kept shut
VO: He gave me the paper and said those words I didn't bother to hear.


This looks so long but it didn't last one minute. �.

I talk so fast, so I delivered those words pretty fast.

Congratulations bro, please how did you acquire the schorlaship/funding
