LoveDecay:


a little search revealed faulkner is a christian school, why dont u start by stating the obvious cos thats whats on the v.o mind christians frm christian backgrounds going to christians schools cos thier christians - so u start , am i christian and i want to go to faulkner cos i feel more comfortable and will adapt faster amongst christian.

Sorry to say: This is so wrong bro. Religion should not be emphasized as the main reason for choosing a particular school.

goldenchic: present Sir! Juntod baba niyen! Thanks for asking after me. Kisses

Chaiii.. I feel am.. you are welcome

busola78: evening everybody,pls i need everynes advise on this.am going for spring admission,thou am still searching for skools buh will soon apply by august.i work for my dad,he has his business acc running well,buh his personal acc not really running well,amean not much in d acc.ve bin thinkin that whennever i need go to d embassy i will use his business acc buh somone advised i shld transfer his business moni into his personal acc and make use of d personal instead of d biz,cos all d moni combined can only cover ma tuition and all other expenses.its like twice of wat i need.now am confused wat to do.pls i need your candid advise.

You have no problem. As far as he is your father he can sponsor you with funds in his business account. Just go with CAC papers of the company to prove that he actually owns it. I used a company account and I had no issues.

bartino: please guys what do they mean by deadline. csu sacramento a school am also interested in wrote me and said the deadline for application for spring 2015 is September 14 for ms mechanical engineering. I have all documents to upload but my transcript won't be available by then it will be available to WES by October can I still apply?

It means they have to get all your application materials on or before Sept 14th.

slimmy05: Will wait til my certificate is ready. Differing till next year fall . Thanks all

Tough decision to make. To be on the safer side, its the best. Pls endeavour to fill the one year gap with something tangible. All the best bro.

babyoriss:

I want to change from Faulkner, the admission officer are not that very supportive, they don't reply to message on time and they don't use to answer phone calls as well.

If you have I-20 from another school, keep it. Use Faulkner to get your visa first. Immediately you get there, tell Faulkner to transfer your sevis information to the other school. Its legal. They will do it for you immediately.

kennyzita: Just got this. . .

Please be careful. . .

Ebola in lagos? Booking the next available flight oh.. Oya Graviton lets be going ohhhhh

babyoriss:

You have a point, but in the case that I found a better school with lower tuition within that short period of time, I don't think taking that opportunity should be a problem. Or what do you think sir?

Are you changing school for the purpose of the interview or you actually want to change from Faulkner?

babyoriss:

Sir, how could changing school make the issues complicating? What if I found a better school and change it but with the same course. More info please.

Its not a bad idea but I just want you to be on the safer side. Changing school within the space of one month shows that you are indecisive.

babyoriss:

This is how I'm going to give it to the VO on my next appointment;

I did intensive research on schools offering my course and discovered that Faulkner university is rated among the best university in Alabama and also it is rated among the best south eastern region by Princeton review 2010. And one unique advantage about Faulkner is that you are allowed to double major as it's in my case Business,Marketing,Management and Resources Management (These courses are being offer compound as Business Administration)

Good one. Do not complicate issues by changing schools. Go again with the same University. Its not a red flag.

babyoriss: Noted! Thank you Sir!

You should have started with the below which I copied from your pre interview transcript.

Faulkner university is rated among the best university in Alabama and also it is rated among the best south eastern region by Princeton review 2010. And one unique advantage about Faulkner is that you are allowed to double major as it's in my case Business,Marketing,Management and Resources Management (These courses are being offer compound as Business Administration)

babyoriss: Interview Transcript:

Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning, how are you?
Me: Fine
VO: Why Faulkner University?
Me: Since I have intention of studying in United states of America, and would to choose a school that will suite my educational aspiration
VO: Cut, How many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3, Faulkner University, Ohio State University and Oklahoma Central University
(He didn't even asked of how many admitted me)
VO Thanks for applying but I will have to deny your visa application for now but you can reapply and handed me blue paper.

My lecturers here on NL, please advise on where I will have to improve because I will be going back by September. Thank you all!

So sorry dear. You have to work on the bolded above. You shouldn't have started with your intention to study in America. You made it sound like the country is your main interest rather than the school. Your response should have started with "I did intensive research on schools offering my course and discovered that Faulkner University is blah blah blah". Best of luck in your next interview.

zeezahbee: agent , so after coming to NL, you still used an agent?

I was also surprised to read that oh. You can't blame her. Some parents don't believe their children can get this done on their own.

anselmvictor: Interview Transcript;

Me; Hi, Good morning
VO; What are you going to do in the US

Me; No, I haven’t had any reason to

Then Lastly,
VO; Are you married
Me; No

VO then handed over my passport and the denial letter saying
Sorry, it’s unfortunate I cannot approve your visa at this time.

Please can someone advise on what I CAN DO in my next application.

Thank you.

So sorry bro. But everything about your transcript was wrong.
A newly appointed HSE officer wants you to go and train him abroad? No na
All hope is not lost. We can still work on this.

kennyzita: hi people,

Do I need a letter of consent from my spouse since I am married and he's my sponsor, and also affidavit of support for the interview?

Affidavit of support will do. That is a consent as well. If he didn't give his consent, he wouldn't be supporting.

Stewee:

Not seen!

I have sent it again. If you still don't get it, let me know. I don't know whats wrong with my emails.

Rubywoo:

Only problem is he's a US citizen and I already filled having no relations in the US.

You can always fill another DS-160 form and make sure you use the new DS code in your application. I hope your school is not in the same state where he lives/works in the US.

Graviton2:

In other words: Lie?

Guy forget that thing. You sound as if these people are God.

Rubywoo:

Thanks for the response.

But wouldnt he ask His relationship to me first?coz he's not a family relation.

If you follow my way, you won't have to leave your fate in the hands of a VO. Present him as your maternal uncle. Case closed.

Rubywoo: please house how do you explain a sponsor who isn't related to you to a VO?

Very difficult. By the way, who is the sponsor to you?

Amerinancy. Let it slide. Lets not derail the purpose of this thread. We are giving a negative impression to the newbies. Lets turn around to the good old yesterdays when we used to joke with one another. PLS.

ibe003: Please I need Information about USA tourist visa

This thread is for study visa. Just check the travel section on Nairaland. You will find the thread for tourists

castrotroy80:

Juntod am going for master of criminal justice and law enforcement administration and i work with the federal ministry of justice

I have responded.

Response:
Vo: Why this course? What will this course do for you? etc
You: Presently I work at the fed min of justice as a (describe your duty briefly). The justice system here is really highly competitive. A masters degree in this area will help to expedite my aspiration to reach the top of my career ladder (You should know the position of your oga at the top).
Just be confident and sound professional.

jamoyakz: hey man learn how not to argue with a lady regardless how offended you are...

The above is very correct.

jamoyakz: Its paramount to give a lady respect at all time

Bros na where you learn this one from? Are you saying its not paramount for a lady to respect a man? As far as this thread is concerned, we have no special treatment for gender, age, tribe, or what have you. They are both insulting each other and should both be cautioned rationally without bias of any form.

repsin:

I suggest u read people's success transcripts from page. U will definitely see all u need but now u have to concentrate on the admission process and finally getting admitted. I suppose ur going for spring or fall 2015.

Not just success. He should read the delayed ones as well.

zeezahbee: you dont need tp present any vaccine card at any usa POE.

OK better. But I will get one anyway. Don't wana leave any stone unturned.

castrotroy80:

What if i tell vo my wife is working with the nigerian federal govt which is true and she earns good salary and she along
side run a supermarket

Then you have no problem. All they want to know is whether she is a full time housewife since that will push you into going extra miles to violate their laws in order to be able to send her money for upkeep back home. Just present her as a fed govt worker who is capable of running your family financially while away. That solves it.

castrotroy80:
Thanks juntod, what if i say studying this program in us will help to understand the judiciary system and to help in the investigation and correction of the irregularities engulfing the Nigerian legal system and also studying this program will equip me with specialised skill to determine crime causation tackle other criminal activities most especially terrorism and corruption in Nigeria. it is also an opportunity for me to meet wth intellects coming to study in US which will inturn enrich my knowledge and experience which will on my return place me in very better position in my office here in Nigeria, also providing job offers and opportunities for me to excel in the Nigerian law enforcement.

I think you shouldn't be reciting like these undergraduates do. These long stories are not needed for someone like you who is already working and going for masters degree (abi nor be masters again?). Just simply tell them how the degree will elevate you in your place of work upon return. have a written proof that they will renew your employment and even promote you after your degree. Forget about the story of irregularities engulfing the country. Leave that battle for the government to handle. Na your own concern you. Just be confident. Remind me of where you work and the course you are going for. I will try to construct a response.
