With respect to 1-3, it's not necessary beacuse gigaba issued a waiver for RSA Graduates who qualify for critical skills visa

4. check here http://www.dha.gov.za/index.php/immigration-services/scarce-skills-work-permits

https://www.vfsglobal.com/dha/southafrica/critical-skills-visa.html


these are good starting points



If he can compile all the required documents while his study permit is still valid, he can submit while he's still in South Africa

I think someone here converted or is about to convert his student permit to critical skills. You can check through previous posts.

Is there waive for people who graduated from UK too ?

Interview was yday 29/06/2018 @ the Lagos Embassy.

I was there 6:30 interview..... I also noticed that the window 8 inner room VO is taking time on applicant....... She started interviewing a lady before i was called, when i was done, the lady still dey with the VO.... i come dey reason what's going on in this inner room na....

Hello everyone, I was at the embassy this morning and I need to share my transcript eventhough I was placed on AP by the nice guy at Window10 or so...

I was the 5th person to be attended to, overall. While I was the first to be attended to by the guy VO, he also uses earpiece too (cause i noticed someone said one VO use earpiece). Before I continue, let me use this opportunity to encourage those who are waiting for their interviews. Please let us all appreciate the value of this thread. if not, lots of us would have lost it in interviews. And in additional, someone on this thread has shared/warned us about these tout people at the car park arena, they have nothing to offer u except collecting ur money for unnecessary document arrangement and photocopies.....U don't need it, anything u need to arrange would be announced by the people working for the embassy when you are on screening queue. These touts even rent chairs for people to sit at the rate of 200naira, a friend who was waiting for me alerted me.. Pls let's take note...

While on the queue, a fine lady came to separate us into two categories - Immigrant and Non-immigrant applicants.
She announced - Bring out ur passport, DS-160 confirmation page, Appointment, Your i-20, GTBank receipt and Your SEVIS FEE (To be on safer side bring along ur 2x2 photo passport u might need it "I didn't use mine though" all these are the things u need and the embassy workers will tell you how to arrange it or what to do...
Funny.... I was number 5 on queue and only 3 VOs are already on sit including our dear black aunty, mama blue paper at Window 7... Na so prayer start.. God u know i am in ur hand, give me not Window 7, i am black already let no blackwoman interview me here biko...

blessedmumi:
I have been a silent follower of this amazing thread and I really learnt a lot from you guys.

My visa interview actually held on 4th June (6:45am) at the Lagos consulate, my application was on AP afterwards and the feeling has not been nice at all …but I thank God it came out successful as my online status changed to ISSUED yesterday.

I thank those that contributed to this huge success, for the mock interviews and words of encouragement. Special thanks to my hubby for introducing me to NL (He is also an active member) and for his immense support, u r my real G!

I was interviewed by a white Lady (Window 6), her questions were quite brief and I was actually relaxed chatting with her until she came up with the AP stuff at the end of the interview.

ME: Good morning Ma'am

VO: replied…your passport please, and then your i20. Typing seriously!

ME: I forwarded them to her, dropped my envelope and leaned towards her.

VO: where are you going to in the US?

ME: I’m going to Clark University Worcester Massachusetts to study…. (VO cuts in)

VO: Ok….what are you going there to do?

ME: I’m going to study International Public Health for a period of 2 years.

VO: What's your undergraduate degree and when did you earn it?

ME: I earned my Bachelors degree in MICROBIOLOGY from the Federal University of Technology OWERRI in 2012 where I emerged as the….(she cuts in again). But I hurriedly finished the sentence, I emerged as the best graduating student in my department.

VO: What have you been doing since then?

ME: I went for my mandatory NYSC at National Defense College Clinic where I served as a Laboratory intern, after which I worked with Bleep NGO (a mental health NGO) as an Assistant program officer also in Abuja. I currently work with Bleep Primary Healthcare centre as a Public health assistant and my job descriptions entails…(she cuts in again).

VO: Tell me about your funding.

ME: I was offered a 60% tuition waiver which is equivalent to $20,466 per year.

VO: How did you get that?

ME: I wrote an essay on a global health issue that I feel passionate about working to resolve, then in addition to my outstanding undergraduate qualification.

VO: OK…how many kids do you have?

ME: Ma'am…please kindly repeat the question because I didn’t hear her well and she repeated it.

ME: None

VO: subtly asked…so why do you want to leave your husband and travel? (Guess she saw my bold wedding band because she never asked if I was married or not).

ME: My husband works with Bleep and he can’t possibly resign his job since he will be supporting me over there. However, he can visit whenever he is on leave.

VO: Who will be paying for the remaining expenses?

ME: In addition to the 60% tuition waiver awarded to me, my husband and my uncle will take care of the rest expenses. I also secured $15,000 loan for additional support.

VO: where did you get the loan?

ME: I got the loan from Mpower financing company in USA, after due application and meeting with their terms and conditions.

VO: What’s the payment plan for this loan?

ME: My husband's salary account will be subscribed for monthly deduction.

VO: Do you have an idea how much he will be paying monthly?

ME: approximately $160 per month ( that’s the breakdown from the loan company shaa)

VO: What does your uncle do?
ME: He is an Engineer Manager with Bleep Multinational company.

VO: How much is your uncle supporting you with?

ME: #8million

VO: Do you have any statement of account to support this claim?

ME: Yes Ma'am. I passed the two SOA to her and explained to her the one that belongs to my uncle and husband respectively. She indicated it on the SOA to avoid mix up.

VO: I will like to go through this SOA, I will keep your passport and place your application on what we call Administrative processing. You will hear from us in two weeks time max. She brought out the white paper and asterisks AP and circled one email address to send a mail to incase I didn’t hear from them after 2 weeks. She gave me my i20 and asked if I have any question with smiles…

ME: No questions Ma'am (already having mixed feelings and don’t want to betray my emotions). I thanked her and left.

My excitement was out of this world when I tracked my status and saw ISSUED yesterday. I am really grateful to God cos the thought of starting all over again is killing. This AP be like person wey go market to buy things but came back with neither the money or things he went to buy.
I thank you all.

congrats ma'am..... I now think the issue of AP is so common these days...

alvanDgreat:
Please house someone should give me a better clarification.
The duration for the MSc program on my i-20 is written 5 years. please I don't actually understand, I thought MSc program is basically 2yrs.

someone should enlighten me please.

Best Regards.

Masters could only be 12months or 24months. 5years is a mistake, you need to contact your institution.

Just like Adedoja99 and Stella91, I was also at the embassy with my wife on the 8th of June. I think I met Stella91 on the queue asking her if she was related to someone I know (Eneh Jones Odeh). She was even complaining about her son that he doesn't like to sit down

Prior to our turn, I noticed thay the VO had already turned down 3 of those before us.
Anyway, Mine/ours went this way. (not exactly)
However wasn't up to 3mins


VO: Good morning
us: good morning

Vo: are you going together and who is the primary applicant.
Wife: I am

Vo: why are you going to the US?
Wife: to study at UTS, new york.

Vo: who is paying for it
Wife: it's a full phd scholarship (5 years)

Vo: plus stipends?
Wife: yes.

vo: you had already been to uts for your Master's, was that before you got married?
Wife: yes

Vo: any children
Couple : no

Vo: pass me your marriage certificate.


I gave her the 2 certificates... She didn't even look at them

vo: who is sponsoring your husband
Wife: his father

vo didn't ask for bank statement.

Vo: what do you do and what does your father do?
Me: i'm a christian minister and my father too

Vo: your visas have been approved, make sure you hold on to your marriage certificates in case you are asked at the poE.

Couple: thank you (I couldn't believe it was so quick, not even up to 3mins)
Vo: enjoy your trip


Note, none of the things / questions we prepared for were asked apart from the marriage certificates.
Our surnames weren't even the same on our new passports even though we got them after our wedding which we had this year (she hadn't done her change of name)
She didn't even check our old passports
And going to New York wasn't a problem.

I hope this helps. Thanks

It is call blessing... Congrats

Goodday all

I was refused a visa over 3 months ago...(summer)HCC, which I drop my transcript here.
I apply to 3 community colleges then but now am going directly for bachelor degree(same course) and i applied to 4 universities and got addmited to 3.

*Am confuse on how to answer the VO question on how many schools did you apply to.... *

Should I answer 4 universities or I should say 7 schools.... "Adding the 3 community colleges I apply to during my first interview.
Please I really need advise on this....

Thanks in advance

Common, why would you still list the community colleges you have used 3 months ago. You were denied because VOs don't believe in community colleges(According to popular comments). No need to mention those community issh again. List the universities that you applied to.. If you are asked how many give u admission, list them. But be ready to have good answer for why you choose the one you are going to.... Guru in the house can still correct my comment.... Just answering you base on experience I have gained here....

kcwitch:
VO: Why are you leaving the company and what will happen to it while you are away?

I am not leaving the company, I am only going for masters to secure bright future for my company amidst the giants competitors in the tech industry. My company manager who has been working with me for over two years will take over the company activities for the duration of my study leave. ??
Thats it...

To the best of my understanding, your school is referring to people that started in the summer. You need to have stayed at least one year before you are qualified to take summer internships.

It happens. A memory of 2014 batch B NYSC camp @ Ikare-Akoko Ondo State between two corp members(A married lady and a Medical Doctor) They were caught making out at night beside our camp commandant's quarters. It wasn't a small thing o. The following morning all of us was summoned at the parade ground. The soldiers called out both of them but the lady refused to come out. The guy had to apologise for what he did in the presence of almost 2k corp members.
