Good afternoon here. Visa approved today at the US consulate in Abuja this morning. Here's my transcript

ME: Good morning ma'am (with a wry smile)
VO: passport and 1-20 please.


VO: why USM
ME: It is classified as a R1 institution by the Carnegie foundation. And the Biological Science department has a diverse approach to their graduate program where researches provide solutions to problems affecting one health

VO: number of schools applied to
ME: 3. I named them.

VO: Why the choice of USM
ME: Aside from the fact that I got a GA, there's also am ongoing research in the lab of Prof **** which is in line with my background as a veterinarian.(not sure I mentioned the scope of the research)

VO; Do you have a letter from the school indicating the funding offered.
ME: YES. Gave it to her

VO: What similarities are there between your background as a vet and molecular biology
ME: As a practicing Vet, an added Knowledge of molecular biology will not only help me better diagnose animal diseases but also develop preventive and curative approaches to the disease, with emphasis on zoonotic diseases.

VO: Plan after graduation
ME: Upon completion of the MSC, I'll have acquired adequate research knowledge, and practical exposure as to enable me pick up a faculty position made available to best graduating students like me from my alma matter upon my return to Nigeria.

VO: Travelled out of the country before.
ME: No I've had no reason to go out of Nigeria

VO: Do you have any relatives or siblings in the US
ME: no I don't

VO: Congratulations, I'll be approving your visa

Things I ensured
1. I ensured I cleared my mind of the interview worried the previous day and assured myself it's not a do or die affair

2. I practiced multiple times in front of the mirror and also with individuals. As a fast speaker, I ensured I learnt the art of clearly stating my statements

3. Upon arrival at the venue, I interacted with people and get to know few.

4. As previously advised(dont know how true), applicants are been monitored upon entrance into the premises for appearance, posture and gestures that could make them look not confident or jittery. So I ensured I maintained a bossy outlook (even when I'm not), ensured my hands were at akimbo and also did not lower my gaze.

5. It's advised to find a way of putting one's strongest point very early in the interview process. As in my case, the VO did not even bother to check for any information on my 1-20 nor did she ask if I got funding until I made mention of it.

6. Lastly as it has been mentioned here, do not forget the GOD factor.


I hope this helps someone.

Please house, I need your opinion on this, if a school issued me a language training/program i20 because I didn't meet the criteria for their English language requirements, can this affect my chances of getting my visa during my interview. Please I need your opinion..

Tunmise100:

Thanks to @Falana who helped to correct my transcript and helped with numerous mock interviews. My God bless you plenty.

Thanks to @Ubah1 who also helped in going through my proposed transcripts before the actual interview.

Thanks to the Queen of USA visa thread @lagosismyhome for always pointing out errors in people's transcripts. That really helped me a whole lot.

Thanks to the Nairaland Family. Preparing to meet TRUMP.

Visa approved at Abuja today!!!� I'll post my transcript soon.

imperiouxx:


If I can understand you well, you were saying you were admitted for ESL because you don't have any english proficient test? Also you don't have a waec result yet. This your case is weak at the embassy. By the time you go for your interview, your highest degree/certificate would be primary school leaving certificate. Question, what course do you plan to study after esl? Since you've not finished your high school, why not slow down, get your waec certificate in hand, get your toefl and sat done and apply for a bs degree, even if it's going to be in the same school? ESL doesn't cut it.

LagosismyHome:


Nope not a good idea .... you want to spend millions in tuition for English language training when Toefl is 50k in naija .

Why not wait and graduate secondary school and then write SAT and TOEFL

Olalekank:

You can go on with your visa interview. It won't hurt, your TOEFL result would be out before the interview so you can use that. Your graduation date from high school has nothing to do with your interview. You'd tell the VO you finished from high school this year. Standardized test? Yes, TOEFL.
