Stevenssen:
Got my passport back today with my visa on it .
My visa was approved on Wednesday 13th January.


Exactly two months ago, I was denied at Lagos consulate with a different school. Here is my profile and interview for the first attempt :

University of South Carolina.
Funding : in state tuition + $250 per semester.
Deficit : 33k.
Course : Computer Science Msc
Status : Denied

November 13th 2020.
The VO on window 12 seemed calm and was taking time to ask questions, I really wanted to be interviewed by him because I was confident.
He was just finishing with the last person and I was getting ready to meet him when another vo came in the other window. This vo looked like he didn't have time sef and the security directed me to him.

Me : good morning
Vo : *collects my documents and scans my fingers. He then looks at my i-20 for a while *
How many schools did you apply to?

Me : (I was wondering why he asked this first) I applied to 5 schools in total

Vo : how many gave you admission?

Me : 3 of them, gsu, wsu and u of South Carolina

Vo : so why did you choose usc

Me : I chose university of South Carolina mainly because of the courses I will be taking. I will be taking startup in computing, they were the only school that I saw from my Search offering it and the knowledge I get from it will be very essential to my mobile application development startup here when I come back, I will also be taking mobile application development, I like their mobile application development class because we will be using a software called Cordova which I have always wanted to learn for mobile development, I was also awarded a graduate fellowship, which gives me resident tuition and 250 dollars per semester.

Vo : so who will be sponsoring you?

Me : my mum

Vo : what does your mum do?

Me : she's a judge in a high court

Vo : a judge

Me : yes

Vo : okay has your mum ever been to the US?

Me : no

Vo : how many siblings do you have?

Me : 4 siblings

Vo : are they all younger than you?

Me : I have a senior brother and all the other siblings are younger.

Vo : okay, your senior brother, what does he do?

Me : he imports and sells clothing materials

Vo : he imports and sells clothing materials?

Me : yes

Vo *types for a while and puts my i-20 back into my passport then pulls out the yellow paper *
They say when you get approved, you go deaf and I think this also happens when you are refused. My heart sank and I went deaf immediately he put my i-20 back into my passport. I don't even remember if he made the usual refusal speech or not but he must have since they make a speech for everyone both approved or denied. I do not even remember how I collected my documents back. The next thing I remember after that was walking out and getting sympathizing glances from those still standing in line. And in my mind, I was like 'Stop feeling sorry for me and focus on your own interviews' lol.

Later on, some people looked at my transcript and pointed out that the problem was the 'importing' and that some VOs do not like to hear that & someone else also told me that they seem to have a thing against civil servants sponsoring you.

I paid another visa fee and began looking out for dates but was not seeing any. I applied for emergency appointment and was refused(because I have been denied recently) after more than a week of tough waiting. By that time it was almost christmas and my start date was 5th January. Luckily for me, I had admission to Wichita state uni and they were resuming 26th January. So when I saw 13th January available in Abuja, I grabbed the date and transferred my SEVIS from USC to WSU.

Honestly I was not optimistic for my 2nd interview. I had already browsed out 8 schools that I wanted to apply to for Fall & even called my lecturers to wish them happy new year cos I was expecting to disturb them for recommendation letters soon.

2nd Attempt, Abuja embassy.
Wichita state university, Computer Science masters (no funding, 26k deficit).
13th January 2021.
Status : Approved.

As I entered the hall for interview and sat down. A young white male vo was asking the guy he was interviewing about the family sponsor listed on his i-20 and the guy said it was his uncle and that his uncle had been taking care of his studies. The vo denied him after this (I later met the guy outside and he said his uncle has a different surname and his deficit was 24k. That was probably why he was denied). Shortly after, he beckoned to me.

Me : Good morning *passes my documents *

vo : Good morning * types for some seconds and takes my finger prints* What is your purpose to the US?

Me : To study at Wichita state university

vo : What are you going to study?

Me : Computer Science

vo : I can see on your i-20, sponsor is family funds, who will be sponsoring you?

Me : My mum will sponsor me

vo : What does she do?

Me : She is a judge at xxxxx

vo : A judge?

Me : Yes sir. (because of how my last interview went, I immediately added) "I have her account statement here, if you would like to see it?"

vo : Oh yes, of course. I will definitely see the account statement. I will see it (he said this enthusiastically as if it was his favorite part of the job. Lol)

He typed for about 30 seconds and asks for it. So I pass it to him.

Me : The first one is her savings account and the second one is her salary account.

vo : okay

He enters something from the first statement to his computer, probably converting to dollars. He didn't really look at the second one

vo : So what will this program do for you?

Me : Sir, I have a mobile and web development startup here. My program at wsu is focused on mobile and web development, so the knowledge I get from my program will be useful to me as I come back to expand my startup and launch the applications and websites that I want to launch

vo : okay

Then he takes out a white paper, joins it with my other documents and started saying something. I always said I will hear this part but I was too busy asking myself if I had just been approved. I did not expect the interview to be this short (about 3 mins). I collected the documents and glanced at the white paper, it contained info about passport retrieval. The vo was still saying something and was talking really fast. I only heard the last thing he said which was 'Enjoy your studies'.

Me : Thank you

vo : You're welcome

Me : Have a nice day

vo : Thank you




And that was it!
Now to the next process of booking flight ✈ and sweet travel arrangements
I wish all of us success. A denial is only there to make your approval sweeter.

All the best

Zeroenochone:
Sister all the phones are quite good

However i'd like you to note somethings

Oppo a92 has Snapdragon 665
Oppo a92 has Helio pot
Huawei y9s has Kirin 710f


Helio p95 appears to be a better processor but since you're a gamer I'll advise you to go for the oppo a92 with Snapdragon 665

Because mtk chipsets usually don't have strong GPUs as compared to Snapdragon
I can vouch for the sd665 because it's in my redmi note 8 and I run games with ease and phones that have Helio g70 and g80 (both processors are higher than sd665) can't run games at the graphics level that my sd665 can run it

So I advise you go for the oppo a92 it seems to be the right phone for you

Thanks

sebod:
In football, nothing is impossible! If Messi moves to Chelsea, all the chelsea fans claming CR7 is the best will immediately renounce their loyalty!

I just gained something from you.I'm adding you straight away.Ŧh̶̲̥̅̊​ǝ̩̥​ƞX̶̲̥̅

NairaMode:
Saraha1, I am not a human resource personnel but you have given the "solidest" answer anyone can ever give.
I don't think employers are interested in your life or family.
They are going to be paying you cash for the value you want to add to the organization.
What they would love to hear are things like the following:

1. You value your time.
2. You value your integrity.
3. Your name.

These are the things that expressly affects the value you will add and how hardworking you would be and how trustworthy and loyal you are.
It's just my opinion.

I was suprised †Φ see MESSI hungry 4 goals.....

MESSI!!!

Seems Madrid gas opened †нε net 4 others †Φ start scoring?Hahahahaaaaaa or would i say SUAREZ is a bad luck cos i don't understand.This Mr Luis stubborn sha.LKWMD MESSI SUAREZ NEYMAR αϞ∂ yet ₪☺ show.

Expecially MUNIR †нε boy is too selfish

dmcdad:
I can't understand the obsession Lucho has with Munir and co. That guy has played every possible gane this season. Na must? And as games go, he plays worse. The worst thing is the fact that he and Sandro are getting selfish by the day. What's the glory hunting for?

NEYMAR MESSI SUAREZ!!!I'm waiting

Is there ₪☺ MADRID. Or PENALDO fan page?COs their fans are always hunting here haba.if U̶̲̥̅̊ want †Φ praise your Boys go †Φ your fan page.CR7 missed A PK αϞ∂ they became silent but when MESSI missed a PK they ✆ him name.U̶̲̥̅̊ ppl should drop it cos they av achieved. More than U̶̲̥̅̊ do Oº°˚˚°ºĶ
