Hmm, u are not wrong about the paypal ish. That's why I don't leave funds in my Paypal.

Nice signature too bro

Vo: ok, what other schools did u apply to
Me: pacific oaks and uni of Missouri Columbia 
Vo: why did you pick montclair 
Me: I picked montclair mainly because of the availa‎bilty of the child advocacy program and also its concentration in Public Child Welfare which fits into what I really want + the prog offers a practicum in child welfare which will take the form of a field practice during my course of study looking at his eyes)

imperiouxx:
You will need more help than this by the time you get to US. You already said tomorrow or next and I believe you

Thank you for chipping this in... Many don't know this. Many are roaming the streets here without status cuz of the bridges they burnt after securing visa.

mevisbleek:
Its boil down to the individual then.

Alright Sir. Thanks for the clarification.

You welcome sir

mevisbleek:
Good Day Sir,

Seriously, deep down in your heart, do you want to tell me that you had no idea why you chose your school or you were trying to spit out a perfect Naira land answer to the VO?
We have true reasons why we do what we do in life but we try to embellish to make it more appealing to others. Honesty is the key in everything one does in life.

Truthfully, you did not peruse the courses offered in the program you were going for?

Well, its all good. Have a wonderful day, Sir.

I'm not saying I didn't know why I chose the school. All I'm saying is, you need to back up your reason with other stuff you'd find on the school website. Your reason might not be convincing to the VO and if it's the VO that offers another opportunity for applicants to give more reasons, would you repeat same unconvincing stuff or pick another good reason from your archive and dish it out?

And concerning the courses, I knew my courses when I went for my first interview... what I didn't know was what makes these courses tick. Hence the reason why it was difficult for me to consistently integrate my courses clearly into my response on my first interview.

But the second time, I was able to nail every word in the head even while I was a lil bit shaky. I mean syncing Pure Physics, Information Technology and Project Management together in a sentence to save my life only came through cuz of good preparation.

I'm not in support of cramming tho

DareFadi:
To each his/her own ......I do not agree with this statement at all . Over preparation yes dont over do it or it makes you more nervous but to say Preparation is not needed , PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHAT ADVICE YOU TAKE ...lol

I am not saying Copy others and have always said be truthful but as in every interview its good to prepare.

Have an idea of past questions and learn from there . For example most people would not view the curriculum of their courses , but noting that is it a commonly asked question that would help in your visa preparation.

Be truthful Yes , be well prepared to know in details what you are applying for and why you should be given Yes

but to say no prepare, no read transcript .... ABEG even OYIBO prepare for interviews so PLEASE STOP IT

I'm in support of this. Preparation is essential. One major reason why I was denied the first time was because I couldn't state my courses clearly.

And it is even more essential to do a lot of deep research about one's school of choice, this would help any individual when trying to convince a VO why he/she chose the school. It took me the third try on why I chose my school before the VO was finally convinced. If I hadn't prepared well, I would have gone numb and result would have been "sorry blah blah"

Read, glance through transcripts, study likely questions, rephrase them in your own way, visit your school website often and know some of your potential instructors' name before the interview cuz it could come in handy when defending your goal.

Prepare in every way but never cram.

LagosNIV:
Some applicants get so "prepared" that they can't answer the questions that are being asked of them. They just want to give their rehearsed speeches. Don't be that applicant. It's a sure way to get refused a visa.

It's really quite a simple process; you fill out your own application, you answer the questions honestly, and then the determination is made if you qualify for the visa or not under U.S. law. That is not to say that everyone who answers honestly is qualified, because they aren't necessarily, but once you start making up crazy stories or telling lies it no longer matters if you are qualified. Plenty of applicants that are probably qualified get refused every day because they think they need to craft a story and it doesn't make sense.

This!!!

I think people really need to be reminded that the DS-160 is really an important piece of document that goes a long way in determining one's VISA approval/denial.

Don't just fill it for filling sake and prepare day and night for oral interview. View your DS-160 as you cuz this piece is already explaining who you are and your mission before you're asked the first question.

So my advise would be to take time fill your DS-160 like your life depends on it.

For example: (I stand corrected tho cuz I'm still learning too) I remember a page on the DS-160 where the applicant is asked to list at least two people (non-family members) who are aware of one's United States mission. This I believe has something to do with your ties to your Country.

Now if you would fill such. Think about this as filling your recommendation module for Graduate study.

Tips: At least you'd know two people that are doing well in any of the registered companies in Nigeria.

Use their name and fill in their company addresses.

For contact: Use their officio e-mail addresses. (Not Gmail, yahoomail e.t.c) I'm not saying referees can't use free email service but I'd like to believe that officio email goes a long way in boosting that your app.

V.Os are trained/paid to pay attention to details. Take your time to fill DS-160. It is very important.

Like I wrote earlier... It is just a guess work, I know nothing before una attack me. My 2 cents.

I'd like to still show appreciation to Bigfrancis and Juntod tho... I met these guys here and mehn, they've been really great. They've been like my compass since I entered this country. Awesome dudes to date.

texrem:
>>VO: Why did you prefer ETSU to the others?
>>Me: The course curriculum in ETSU is structured in such a way that it perfectly suits my graduate study needs (V.O cuts me)
>>V.O: No, I’m not convinced; all universities in USA course curriculum are well structured
>>Me: I streamlined my search to schools accredited by abet.org... (Cuts me…all schools are accredited by abet.org)
>>VO: Impress me, Wayne state university is ranked higher than ETSU
>>Me: Ok…After carefully checking ongoing research by the departmental professors, I found one which greatly aligns with my interest. This research is on Characterization of dusts from cement plants with respect to parameters relevant for storage and transport and is currently carried out by Prof Johnson Keith.(cuts me)

If it was a man that interviewed you, I would have said its the same man that kept giving sliding tackle back in December. lol. Had to come up with a research topic before he was convinced.

Congrats again bro and welcome to the land.
