Please what does does it mean.

Please house,
I have gained admission to Louisiana State University and also secured my Visa...
- Am i supposed to pay any amount to the school for any clearance before i can gain entry at the POE or i have a choice to pay at the school after i am in the States because someone was telling me that i have an amount to pay else i would have problems at the POE.
I would appreciate prompt response to this.
Thanks

Hello House,

Posting for the second time now... Visa approved this morning at about 8:38am.

my interview was scheduled for 7:45am but i already arrived the venue as at 7:05am but i felt i still had time to cross my T's and dot my i's. So, i approached the venue at about 7:35am and i learnt that they are calling 8:15am already.. i just joined a queue. passed the first check point, to the second and to the third.. after getting to the fourth check point, i was returned to the first check point for an announcement that was made before i joined the queue on how the documents should be arranged.
I pleaded with the lady that i am for 7:45 and time is already past and you are calling other batches already.. just tell me how to arrange but she insisted that i go back which i did. This almost destabilized me
This time, it did not take as much time as it took me to get to that forth check point.. meanwhile as i stood on the queue, i was trying to remember all i had crammed but i was still skipping some and i knew that could be a problem for me but i kept on asking God for a retentive memory.
I finally got to the interview hall and this fear came upon me but i summoned courage and kept praying while still trying to remember all i crammed. I was eventually called upon by the v.o himself who had just handed a lady the blue paper and i was like "how can this guy approve me" but i kept hopes alive.

me: good morning sir
v.o: good morning, thank you... pass me your passport... (i did and he scanned it).. when did you pay your sevis fee?
me: 2 days ago
v.o: but its not reflecting here (meanwhile the guy that i did my thumb print with said the same)... anyways, why are you going to the US?
me: to purse a Bachelors of Science degree in Biological sciences
v.o: in what school?
me: Louisiana state university
v.o: how would you be paying for this?
me: my father will
v.o: what does your father do? (i did not hear this and i said "i did not get that sir".. he repeated it n i still did not hear.. (he removed his headphone and started lecturing me... "if you can not hear my English, then you would have problems understanding anyone in Louisiana because i speak good English compared to those in Louisiana.. so i wonder how you wanna cope.. he then repeated himself like he was talking to someone in KG2... what does your father do?
me: he is the md/ceo of Olly farms (does not exist but i already had it in mind that i was picking that name)
v.o: what kind of farm is Olly farms?
me: fish farm and a piggery.
v.o: how old are you?
me: 29
v.o: when did you finish high school?
me: 2008
v.o: what have you been doing since 2008?
me: after my high school, i attended Yaba college of Technology for 2 years and 1 year compulsory Industrial training after which i attended Lagos state vocational education board where i got an 18 months diploma in fish farming.

He typed for so long and i was like.. wetin this man wan ask again na

v.o: unfortunately, you would not be able to go with you international passport now because i need to confirm your sevis fee payment but in the mean time, i would be approving your visa... (handed me a white sheet, circled an address) pick up your passport and visa in this address this time next week...


I could not help but jubilate right in front of him because i was so overjoyed.


Little advice for every prospective Visa applicant...
- pray, pray and pray again.
- fast and let whoever is close to you fast for you as well
-whatever you face in the course of the screening before getting to the vo, do not be discouraged.. that would even help you take fear away as you draw near.

GOD OWNS ALL THE GLORY.
thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences because it has really helped me.

Thanks..
finally found it...
TWoods:


Really? See link - http://catalog.lsu.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=14&poid=7236#BiologicalSciences

B.S. Biological Sciences (without concentration)

Semester 1

CRITICAL: “C” or better in ENGL 1001 and CHEM 1201; 2.0 Cumulative, LSU and Semester GPA.

BIOL 1201 Biology for Science Majors I (3)
BIOL 1208 Biology Laboratory for Science Majors I (1)
CHEM 1201 General Chemistry I (3)
ENGL 1001 English Composition (3)
MATH 1550 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (5)

Semester 2

CRITICAL: “C” or better in BIOL 1201 and MATH 1550; 2.0 Cumulative, LSU and Semester GPA.

BIOL 1202 Biology for Science Majors II (3)
BIOL 1209 Biology Laboratory for Science Majors II (1)
CHEM 1202 General Chemistry (3)

General Education course - Arts (3)

That took me all of 3 minutes to find. I'm not sure how some of you scale through visa interviews. Any serious VO knows that all US colleges post the course offerings on the web. So not being able to "find them" is basically a demonstration of your own lack of preparedness.

Hello house...
Been a silent reader here but came across a question that was asked from my friend by the VO.
The question is:: How many courses would you be offering in your first year, name them..
i have tried to search for these courses but could not get.
N.B:: i was admitted into Louisiana State University to study Biological sciences (B.Sc).
Please, anyone here who can help out with this question.. i would be glad. Interview date is Dec 8th.
Thanks.
