This thread served as a good read this morning... lol @ all the drama.

It still baffles me that people that I have known on this thread in a long time still scrambles for new strategies. Your real account becomes vulnerable the more you try out new strategies. Every strategy works! (this phrase is now a cliche from me tho), just pick a favorite, pay it's dowry and get married it.

Also, stop trading binary like it's sport betting where you can combine cycling, football and tennis in a series of bets. If you like FOREX, pick one or two currency pairs and do justice to em. Likewise randoms, commodities, stocks e.t.c

I know I'm still boring as always with my only EURJPY but I can tell you we know each other so well now, I could tell when she's running fever and my 2013 strategy remains same.

Chai!

GURUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..... Visa has been approved ABUJA Embassy, WINDOWS 7. HELP ME THANK BABA GOD

Congrats

godG:
I dey vomit inside plane ni sha.

Lmao... Sorry bro

Evening beautiful family... How y'all doing?

Texrem, I feel your pain but pls take it easy... The VOs are just doing their job.

In fact, I'd still like to be interviewed by the same pretty VO that denied me. I felt like I was in charge when I was staring directly at her mean face. Lol

Sorbital:
Got the same 'passport still with the embassy' message but I ignored them...went ahead and booked my appointment

Wow! Thank God... So u got it this time and it was just 5 days ago that u were denied.

Happy for you

Sorbital:
Gurus, abeg o, somebody should constructively criticize this transcript, have booked another appointment already..

So what date did u get?

djmakson:
Refire bro. Just prepare very well for your next appointment. It's pertinent that you do not forget the God factor in it. You get it at your next attempt. Cheers.

Thanks man

Sorbital:
Me: Good morning... With genuine smile and confidence

Vo: good morning... Your four left fingers on the scanner for verification


We were looking at each other eye ball to eye ball, I almost cried... I saw pity in his eyes yet I was praying for 12hour miracle...it didn't just happen. The security guy just came and convinced me out

That's my story..

My school resumes on 30th, wanna book another appointment... Don't wanna lose my GA..

Please brother, make una advise me

Wow! so it was you... you were so Audible and I knew you must have been a nairalander (especially when I heard princeton review) when I heard you giving it to him with confidence. I thought you nailed it!

Sorry bro.. All is well. Earliest date now is 26th August tho

djmakson:
In my opinion, I think the VO woke up on the wrong side of the bed cos apparently she wasn't happy while she was conducting the interview session.

I'm also wondering if the bolded parts are related in one way or the other. Often times (my inference from people's transcripts right here), the VOs like it when your undergraduate course as well as your work are related to your intended graduate course.

My work experience is inline with my intending course which is Project management with focus in IT management.

Data center infrastructure management is largely IT management and part engineering management, construction management, safety management, conflict management, e.t.c...

Physics is also related to IT (computers and telecommunications). In fact, I started working as a Network support for my school ICT center in my second year.

She was just confused.

Sorbital:
You really should see me cos I refused to leave the booth... I felt I truly deserve the visa...think I created small scene sha...

lol, nah I didn't see any scene... you were the guy who got Aug 5th 2 days ago ryt?

Sorbital:
I plan to keep vigil, I'm believing God that date would surface

Hmm, that's cool then. I wish u success.

Sorbital:
It was cos we said with his mouth that I should convince or tell him why I really chose two schools in same state... Apart from that, I'm sure I didn't commit any other plunder...I had my transcript reviewed by many gurus here b4 I left...just that I abbreviated the schools to MTSU and TSU, otherwise, I believe either of them would have spotted it and then advise me not to mention the sister school...sobbing

Sobbing ke... Bro, stopeet! We are all pained, but rise up and do the needful. I even think I saw u today.

kellycute:
conditional admission aint mean nothing. My friend in california went to embassy with conditional admission

I tire o... I still think the class issue and how it relates to the 36months Ish was the turn off. Cuz I was answering the VO's questions like she's my gf.

Pretty girls are generally mean aswear.

Sorbital:
Got delayed today because I couldnt convince the VO on why I chose two university in the same state...Got an extension from the school to resume on 31st August.. Wanna reapply asap... What are my chances and what do I say differently..

Have u found any date that is like a week before 31st?

djmakson:
Sorry for the delay brother. My observations are the bolded parts of your transcript.

Bold 1: I wish your uncle never said those words in the first place. That's enough to kill your morale. He was already pessimistic about the outcome.

Bold 2: Your reason for choosing Minnesota is 'watery'. You could have stated something tangible you stand to benefit from studying in that school which consequently informed your decision to choosing it over the others you applied to.

Bold 3: Your reason for the low score wasn't good enough. You could have probably said you were slightly indisposed on the exam day and it affected your performance.(My Opinion).

Bold 4: Every individual's case is different/ Unique.

Refire bro.

Help look into my case too bro.... Cuz I was told that there isn't anyway the VO would have known that I'm on conditional admission.

Where are the approval transcripts btw?

ikuyinminu:
So.. here is my transcript.. Very annoying and it got me down for awhile.


Thanks guys for your continued support. I won't relent. I spoke with a friend that just left.. he said he didn't write any test and they never asked. Dunno where I got it wrong. But I am grateful to God first and everyone that support one way or the other.

We don return back to work!

Sorry bro, I know how it feels but u gotta man up. Get a deferment letter and reapply.

daret002:
That's weird...u are laffing, u must be very strong and rich. Better luck next time!

I'm strong yeah, but I'm not rich.... At least not yet. I just don't like pity party, it weakens me. Thanks tho

texrem:
Sorry bro....Love ur courage tho....Success in ur next try...awaiting ur transcript..

Thanks bro, You too

fregkay:
I like your courage bro,u will sure get it the next time by God's grace.shalom!!

Thanks bro, u too

Here's my funny transcript....

Mind you, I'm holding a conditional admission which has 36months course completion on its I-20. Morgan State University plays too much aswear.

So after every screening and all, I was called to window 2 by one pretty chic (I noticed she's been frowning all morning tho)

Me: Good morning ma'am (with a forced wizardry smile)
VO: *frowns* can I have ur documents pls?
Me: *I be like 'what I do na?'* Gave em to her

VO: Can u pls place ur four fingers on the (didn't hear her but I knew she was talking about the fingerprint scanner) pls?
Me: Placed four fingers on scanner and was staring at her... I knew she was done, but I didn't remove dem fingers until she said I should remove them.

VO: Where are you going in US?
Me: Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland.

VO: How long is your course of study?
Me: (for my mind, I be like 'beht why?' this girl no dey see komot eye?) 36 months

VO: What course?
Me: MS in Project Management

VO: Who will be sponsoring you?
Me: My uncle

VO: What does he do?
Me: He's contracted to Ekiti State and Ondo State Government and he's into real Estate. He buys, sells and develops prop.. *Cuts

VO: Did you write any test?
Me: Yes I did

VO: Which one (with strong face)
Me: (Me sef give am ogbeni, calm down face) GRE

VO: Can I see it?
Me: (She just owned me at this stage cuz I was looking for the LovePeddler print out that was making out with one of my documents) Sorry ma, gimme a min

VO: LET ME SEE THE PRINT OUT! (I guess y'all understands why I used the caps here)
Me: found it and gave it to her. (Her mind come down)

VO: okay good, Why this school?
Me: Out of the schools that offered me admission, MSU is the only school that has its school of management accredited by Association to Advanced Collegiate Schools of Business. While also going through the graduate research works, I came across an ongoing research by professor Ali Emdad that centers on Addressing Enterprise and Vendor issues in Data Center Infrastructure Management which is inline with my work. I contact... *cuts me*

VO: Where do you work?
Me: I said Airtel NG, but was transferred there by one of their contracted outsourcing and facility managem...*cuts* (I for just use vendor easily)

VO: When did you Graduate?
Me: Dec 2010

VO: What did you study as undergraduate?
Me: Pure and Applied Physics

VO: What do you do?
Me: I work..... (she was staring at me straight in the eye now) so I continued and told her, I work as a Data Center support and Analyst.

VO: Dancing center what?
Me: (For my mind, I be like... Dancing Salsa ni) Data Center support and Analyst

I though I already owned her here until she asked the question that killed me...

VO: What class would you be taking?
Me: Project management class with focus on Information technology management. Listed 2 courses in this class *cuts*

VO: Unfortunately........................................ I no hear the rest
Me: (With confidence level now below 10%) I just said the thank you and my crush on her died on the spot.

I don't know, but I think as a conditional admission student, I should have told her the 9 credit courses that would have qualified me for the major course instead of the major ones.

Thanks to Juntod, Innovativeame, Bigfrancis21, Slimmy and many others here that assisted in one way or the day and sorry for disappointing you guys.

Make I go clear my ish with my HR first, me that was thinking that I'd drop my resignation letter this week ehn.

I'm down but not out. Goodluck to others

Morning house, VISA was denied at the Lagos consulate today by one pretty babe at window 2.

It was due to an avoidable mistake tho, didn't pay attention to details enough.

Transcript to follow when I get to my laptop.

I thank everyone who has been there. I promise not to disappoint the next time I try.

SantaClause:
Bro

Okay o, thanks...

Morning guys

SantaClause:
He should try first because if he cancel I doubt if he will get another date. He will have to defer

That's true, but then, he's got less than 24 working hours to decide.

Sorbital:
They said you should cancel and reschedule...
Lemme know when you wanna cancel so that I can sharpardly take your old date....that way, you will know where your 'lose' went to

U just dey give close marking upandan! lol, I like your spirit.

heboocun65:

Big thanks...

Go to your cgi page https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/

SantaClause:
I did change my own ds160 in my last appointment you don't have to cancel just scan and send them to the embassy it will be rectify then you can now go an reprint your appointment

I tried this, I haven't heard from them over 48 working hours.

and it's even stated somewhere on their website that if you're gonna make any change on your DS-160, it should be done 48hours before your appointment date.

His interview is on Tuesday.

godG:
Yup. Yup. Yup. I'm a witness to this! If it ain't red, it ain't worth it. If it ain't water, it ain't it!
