Hey guys, so my visa was approved this morning at the Lagos consulate 7a.m. appointment. Na today I see as una talk say dem dey bounce people. Now sef na pink paper dem dey give o.

Thanks to God for everything, and also to folks like @brown2green and @fairheart who critiqued my transcript. Yes, I did the GRE (303) & TOEFL (105). Pls folks make out time and read previous threads especially towards the May, June, July times. They really helped in my prep.

ksumnole:


Prayer is the key. Remember, even “Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer.” (I’m assuming God answers your prayer, but I guess that’s a separate discussion.) Sorry, I have no other message.

Anyway, visa approved today. Transcript soon. VO had so many pink papers next to her and maybe one or two white ones. In fact, I heard one of the CGI guys repeating this comment from a fellow applicant, in Yoruba: “Won ni odun pink paper le n se leni (looks like it’s a pink paper festival today).”

But if God be for me/you....

Adedayo65:
Please where is our sharwama na lol
Bn a while I saw you post all those your funny and encouraging post (especially ‘ May the force be with you’)

Brown2Green:


Yes there is another way.
CALL THE SCHOOL.

Brown2Green:

Mail your school to send your Sevis ID and School code

solihp:


More dates just opened up this morning

sharwama:

Abort! Abort!! Abort!!!
I was kidding oooo. I think you should search yourself, no one can answer that question for you but I could give you an example.
My friend decided to study nursing because when her father was terribly ill and admitted at the hospital, he was ignored by the nurses and eventually died. In that pain she vowed that she would become a nurse and the change she desires would begin with her...
This is not super story. My point is you need to find the answer for yourself, by yourself so when you are responding to the question, it would flow freely from within and not some memorized or generic gyitubglprdduzxcb!
I wish you well.

Walspring:


I have replied since the day you sent me pm check your junk if not in your inbox.

Time2win:


Yes. You will be interviewed based on the one you have on your appointment page

Time2win:


You can submit ds 160 and still go ahead and change something by filling a fresh one. You can fill up to 100 different ds 160 with different details, it won't stand against you if you didn't interview with it. It's only the ds 160 number they used in interviewing that they will leave on your profile and it count against you if you change anything during your second interview asumming you weren't given visa in the first attempt. If you have submitted your ds 160 and feel you made a mistake, you can fill a fresh one and change it with the old one you have on your appointment page. The unused ones (the one you weren't interviewed with) even if submitted will be deleted after 30days from the system.

Hey 2019 ETSU FALL APPLiCANT hit me up ! Got some good new ! I am a current student

Emeraldtommy:
I'm sorry my transcript came a bit late, I wanted to have my hands on my visa before posting. Please, forgive me.
I was a little agitated when I started reading the transcripts on this platform, especially the transcripts that were rejected late last year. I however kept reading, and again, Fairheart's post about seeing many visas approved encouraged me. The whole process, from start to getting the visa was a miracle only God could do. It took a while before I agreed to write GRE n TOEFL, after my masters degree, with what my eyes saw with researching in Nigeria, although I wanted a PhD, but Nigeria was a "NO" for me. I wasn't ready to read any serious "book" again too, so, I was just pursuing South Africa jeje for my PhD. My husband wouldn't agree with me on the SA prospect no matter how I talked about it. He just didn't like the country for anything.
After a while, I kept reasoning on what my friends had always told me about writing the standardized exams and applying to the US. I did and I was graced to talk to an advisor whose active research is a match to masters degree research. He agreed to supervise me and told me his research is a funded research. So I applied and was admitted and offered GA with stipends. Below was my conversation with the VO .
Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning, your Passport and i20 please.
Me: Okay, Here...

VO: Where are you going?
Me: I'm going to JSU for my doctorate degree in Chemistry.
VO: How did you get to know about JSU?
Me: I did an online search for schools with graduate research in Chemistry and then streamlined my search to schools with Natural Product Chemistry, and there came JSU and other schools I applied to.

VO: So, your focus will be Natural Product Chemistry
Me: Oh..yes

VO: Do you have a Professor to work with already?
Me: Yes

VO: His name?
Me:Prof...

VO: Did you apply to other schools?
Me: Yes, I named them

VO: I see you're fully funded
Me: Yes

VO: What will you do to maintain your scholarship status?

Me: I'll maintain an excellent performance in academics and research ( VO nods in affirmation)

VO: What have you been doing since you completed your Masters
Me: Been into research at my Supervisor's laboratory. I carry out experiments and analysis, write reports and help supervise the undergraduate students.

VO: Are you married? With children
Me: Married, Yes, with Children, No

VO: Will anyone be travelling with you?
Me: No ( at least, not now)

VO: I'll be approving your Visa, she gave me the white paper and told me to get my passport from the address indicated in 3 working days.
Me: Thank you.

Hello house, my Visa was approved minutes ago at the Lagos Consulate. I would post my transcript later today.
I want to appreciate everyone for inputs to this thread, they were really helpful.

sharwama:
TALE OF AN APPROVED VISA
Written by Miss Sharwama
I remember my heart pounding as I had my bath at 4:30 a.m. yesterday. I was so afraid, I couldn’t even sponge properly. I kept asking myself, “Sharwama after all the noise you have been making on NL, what if you get denied?” “What if you stutter and can’t make eye contact with the VO”… As I applied cream on my chocolate skin, I remember hearing a very gentle voice “Sharwama be still and know that I am God, I have gone ahead of you to make the crooked places straight”. This really gave me courage.
My uncle drove me to the embassy; my interview was at 6:30 a.m. and I got there right on time. I followed all the processes and protocol kini and then I came face-to-face with the visa officer. I paid no attention to the window number. I said a mental prayer “Father, the hour has come, glorify your daughter” and the Lord spoke to me “Sharwama, I have glorified you before and I will do it again”.

VO: Good morning and how are you?
Sharwama: Good morning. I am not sure how I feel; I have butterflies in my stomach.
VO: (Smiles) I understand how you feel, this won’t take much time. Pass me your I-20, passport and SEVIS receipt (I did)
VO: Why do you need this visa?
Sharwama: I want to pursue a masters in Biology Program at East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee. I can’t do that if my visa isn’t approved.
VO: I see here that your sponsor is your mother but you also have a graduate assistantship, I am impressed!
Sharwama: I am glad you are.
VO: I will be approving your visa (hands me the white paper with circled location. Gave me back my I-20 and SEVIS receipt. Said the whole tyonteugdfvcvnm,jklpewszxcvbnmi but I didn’t hear anything. When she was done talking, I was still staring at her. The next person was already behind me)
VO: You can leave now
Sharwama: Is that all? You didn’t ask why I chose ETSU, the schools I applied to, what I have been doing since, you didn’t ask my study plan or even what this degree would do for me or my plans after completion?
(She was about interrupting but I burst into tears)
Sharwarma: Do you know how much the bank charged my sponsor in order to print statements of her multiple accounts? Or the stress it took to colour-print my GRE and TOEFL scores? I nearly had an accident you know. So what would I do with these papers now? Maybe you don’t know this, but I spent the last three months of my life, waking up in the middle of the night to rehearse for this interview and all you did was ask THREE questions? Would you please interview me again?
Her mouth was wide open, her eyes were all out of the socket, and she was in utter shock! Next, a security officer approached me. I knew he would show me out. As he led me, I tightly held on to the white paper and my documents. For some reason, I turned to the VO and saw her smiling at me. I wiped my tears and smiled back. Right there in that moment, I knew she would go to bed with memories of a crazy girl who had her F1 visa approved effortlessly and just couldn’t believe it.
Yes, I remember tasting something in my mouth, kinda tasted like Ribena and I kept licking my mouth till I opened my eyes and saw Martins, my little nephew with Ribena in his hands. It was 7:30 a.m.; I jumped out of bed, knowing I would be late for work. I hurriedly had my bath, brushed my teeth, there was no time for the normal early morning pooing. I ran out of the house, stopped Keke and entered. As he drove me, I couldn’t help but smile. Although, I knew my boss would query me for coming late, I was grateful because my beautiful dream was worth it…
Written by the girl who keeps seeing V.O’s in her sleep.
Inspired by samdgreat2011’s approved visa

sharwama:
Yaaay!!!
Whup whup!!!
Congratulations sir
You have inspired me to post my approved transcript as well. Wait make I chop belleful first

sharwama:
There's a difference between "full" and "good"
You have FULL funding? Ok, now I am jealous

sharwama:
Should I be scared? I got good funding from ETSU.
What do you need?
