Hi guys,

Success to those heading for their interviews soon.

Anyone heading to "Texas A&M University, College Station", let's link up.

Hi guys,

Visa approved this morning

Been a silent reader, and will like to share my transcript so others can learn and benefit.

As mentioned by all the gurus here, please be confident (take deep breaths if the tension too much), do not attempt to cram and start to sound like robot (understand you answers/response and freestyle it in different format without changing the message you are trying to communicate).
I go knack suit na so heat wan kill me for the queues from outside and all the movement upandan, plus small tension sha , but immediately we entered the AC area I became more comfortable.

The two peeps before me had been bounced, so I just package myself, tried to remain calm and collected & prayed for favour.

VO; Good morning
Me: Good morning and *smiles*
VO: Pass me your I-20 and passport
VO; Where will you be going to
Me; Texas A&M University at College Station, for my Masters in Business Administration and Mgmt (MBA)
VO; Why did you choose A&M
Me: Well, because its a well ranked school in the US and the class size is quite small compared to most MBA programs at top schools in the US (VO nods). I also had discussions with current students and some alumni, and they provided great feedback on the structure of the program and internship opportunities available. This internship period will be very good for me to gain some international work experience
VO; Oh you spoke to some students
Me; Yes
VO; Did you take any test
Me; Yes I took GRE and IELTS
VO; What was you GRE scores
Me; 307, Verbal 152 and Quant 155

Me; I will return back to Nigeria and push for a promotion at my current place of work.... also this degree will make me more marketable as a professional for other job opportunities in the future.
VO; Where do you work
Me; I work as a SA in xyz firm
VO; I see you have some scholarship, how will you pay for the rest
Me; I will be paying for it partially by myself and also with support from my family
VO; Who in your family will be supporting you
Me; My Uncle
VO; What does he do
Me; He works as a CP Supervisor with xxxxxxPetroleum Coy
VO; Please pass me his statement
Me; I passed the statement (I had created a one page summary of my funds and their sources showing the total.... the funds were from different sources, Nigerian account, UK account, money market sef dey there)....... she scans through and gave me back
VO; I will be approving you VISA.............. Do have a great day
Me; Thanks and enjoy the rest of your day

Confidence is key, and I also observed that many prepare long responses to just a short and simple question from the VO (Keep it simple) and also pray for favour too.
