Congrats bro... But number 6 got me laughing. That's a wrong advice though. If you don't have business with educationusa, no need lying about it
wanted to even ask, so if someone doesnt have any business with education USA, u can still mention?

You mean you didn't see any closer date before January. You should try checking in the Midnight consistently. I heard you can get one before January. I will also be reapplying soon make I go gather my 57k(Owo oniru)
That is when my school is resuming. have not booked a date for my interview yet.

Yes, you can. But it is unlikely to get a date in December. Your best bet right now is January. What date are you resuming next year?

I think i will just get a date for Jan. School resumes on the 14th of Jan.

I was rejected in Sept because of ties to my home country. Any suggestion of what can be done pls

VISA Experience
Congrats . I will be going for mine next month ��


Consulate: Lagos
Date: 17th July 2018
Arrival time: 5:18 AM
Time Slot: 6:30 AM (interviewed at 8:20, second person to be interviewed by the lady)
Counter No: 1
Status: Approved

VO: Good morning ma'am, pass me you I-20, passport please.
Me: Good morning. Sure, here they are.
VO: What are you going to the US to do?
Me: I am going to the University of New Haven, Connecticut to pursue a masters in Environmental science with concentration in Geographical information systems and applications.
VO: What is your highest degree?
Me: Bachelor of Technology in Geophysics
VO: What year did you graduate?
Me: I graduated in 2014 (actually 2013 but my certificate has 2014)
VO: What have you been doing since then?
Me: After my NYSC in 2016, I took up a job as a tutor with Think First Tutors. While on the job, I learned some programming skills online ( Python and Matlab) and also did a course in Project Management to better equip myself for graduate studies while preparing to take the GRE and TOEFL. As a GIS analyst, certain skills are required like problem solving skills, project management skills and programming skills.
VO: What is your intended job after graduation?
Me: (smiling) I intend to enter the GIS field as a high level specialist in a reputable organization and make significant contributions to projects requiring the applications of GIS 'especially' in the environmental sector of Nigeria. Projects such as: environmental resource inventory - GIS is used to carry out rangeland surveys, coastal zone resource surveys; environmental impact assessment - GIS is used for route selection of roads and pipelines, oil field development, mines and quarries, agric development; water resources - since water is one of the main constituent of the environment, GIS helps in analysing the geographical distribution of water resources; environmental risk hazard analysis...(she cut me off)
VO: Who is paying for your studies?
Me: I received a scholarship after my I20 was sent (showed scholarship letter)
VO: while reading the letter...what do your parents do? (and I also have family funds
Me: My parents are both in academia, my Father is a Professor (showed SOA)
*she returned them
VO: Do you have any children?
Me: No ma'am
VO: Are you married?
Me: No ma'am
VO: You qualify for a Visa ........
Me: Thank you ma'am with a smile.

*It was more like a conversation, I was relaxed, smiling and I think demonstrating.
When I entered the Visa hall, I felt normal, didn't feel tensed one bit... honestly. I saw the dark fat lady and as usual, she gave the first person a blue paper. Though when the VO that interviewed me gave the first person a blue paper, my heart skipped. But then, my consolation was it is a case by case ish.
All the while, she kept looking at her system but looked at me a bit when she asked my plans after graduation.
*Dressing: Black pant suit with a sky blue shirt on heels.

God's favor saw me through honestly.
It's a combination of prayers and preparations.

This forum helped me big time.
Thank you guys.
And to those that took their time to vet my proposed transcript, I am super grateful. God bless you for me.
