Too long

My Transcript goes thus at the Lagos embassy 6.30am 25th Nov :

After rejecting like 4 people at a troll including a whole family that wanted to go on holiday... she was the Brunette/Latino at the third counter

VO Hey Good morning
Me Hi
VO your mission in the US
Me going for my masters degree in fin and risk mgt
VO checked my passport and immediately asked how did you find out about the school
Me I did extensive research on the internet using usnews.com and princetonreview.com
VO so why University of Colorado Denver
Me (gave her the regular bobo) the curriculum fits my career goals, and the finance courses I reviewed gave me the opportunity to specialize in corporate finance by selecting electives such as MERGER AND ACQUISITION, FINANCIAL MODELLING AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT (didn't even know what I was saying at this point but I remained confident and finished my sentence and she was already nodding)
VO immediately stopped typing and concentrated on me now asked how many other schools did you apply to
Me 2 schools GWU and UMASS
VO what made you select UCD over the other schools
Me my main reason asides the facts listed above was that I stumbled on a publication online by a professor in the finance department Rick Simmons, in the publication he stated "What is the value of a firm, what price are u willing to pay" this means what an acquiring company willing to pay to a target company to gain control and all other related activities in the capital market. (at this point she was nodding like agama lizard) may be she didn't really understand but she was impressed. even me sef no understand but I just dey bobo dey goh.
VO what did you study and what school
Me BSC Acct LAG
VO when did u graduate
Me 23 December 20xx (make sure u mention the same date month and year in ur DS160 I noticed she was looking at it on her screen)
VO what have u been doing since then
Me went for NYSC, and worked with xxxx left the company and I am currently with xxxx
VO what do u do there
Me consultancy services to clients in the Bleep industry
VO who is ur sponsor
Me My dad
VO what does he do
Me he's a director with xxxx company
VO I guess imma gonna have to issue u a VISA, here is your I-20, u can pick it up on Friday. please keep ur I-20 close to you at all times as you will need to show it at the POE. you are also invited to an orientation program blah blah blah (at this point I was not hearing anything again, I had gone deaf)
Me thank you.. turned back and signaled @osahons9 to give him adequate ginger (as he was looking really tensed up lol) and walked away.

No bank statement was asked, No GRE or TOEFL report requested. nothing

Key.. 1 Please put God first. I can't count how many times I prayed for his favour.
2. speak boldly and in clear terms and make sure u complete each sentence you start. this means u are able to pass across ur message. it gives you a level of respect
3. Smile and always put on an aura of pride around you especially during interviews. shows them that you are not desperate.

Thanks Guys, this thread really helped me a lot and special shout out to @Bigfrancis for taking time out of his busy schedule to assist me.

adios

@osahons9.. yes oh... it is my humble self... na why I give u that final ginger b4 I comot..

hello house.... VISA granted today at the US embassy in Lagos...God has done it again...

[quote author=Walspring post=27537412]1, try and retrieve it again maybe tomorrow morning and if you can't then you fill another one as they suggest but if i may ask you since when have you be filling the ds160 because if you leave it for 30days and you didn't continue you can get it again cos it will wipe off by itself.

2, go and apply for a new passport and you can get it in a day or two days at either Alausa Lagos or Ikoyi lagos but i can give you details of Alausa if you stay close to ikeja.. When going for interview go along with the old and new passport and before that you can send them feedback to change your old passport number to the new passport number.[/quote. Thanks.. For the response ... I just filled the 1-20 2 days ago and my interview is in nov.. So I will go ahead as advised to get a new passport then inform then so they can update my information with the new passport number..

House please I need advice on this 2 issues?

1. I am unable to retrieve my DS 160 as my application ID gives me an error signal, may be because I didn't conclude and submit the application as I stopped at the review stage. Therefore I can not print out the form. I have called the US embassy help desk and was told to fill out another one despite the fact that this application ID was used for the appointment interview sent to my email.

2. I used my current passport number which will expire in Jan 2015... I know this is way less than the 6 month validity rule for US visa, again I called the help desk and was told to bring along a new passport along with my old passport(current) to my interview.

Please house I need advice on what to do? do I go ahead to fill out a new form online and bring a new passport as advised?

Its simple. This is democracy and free market. If they want to beat DSTV, the should provide us with a cable service better than DSTV and gbam! DSTV would be out of the market before you say jack.

This is just a ploy to bring in one chinese mediocre company that would end up ripping Nigerians off, like they are doing with startimes.

#Gbam.. All these mediocre cable companies all in the name of affordability. The move by the house of Reps is a good one but Nigerian still have the choice to go with the Coy that gives them the highest satisfaction based on quality.

OP u cant be serious... is that his kid or younger brother? please confirm your source.. How old is Patoranking himself. Hian

Xavier9ja:

LMAO.. Nigeria/Amodu deserves a second/fourth chance

Cool

I feel op's pain 30 is the actual start of Adulthood in some sense. . . Its really scary and to think that just next year you'd be 30 is a nightmare trust me. Turning 18-27 is fun once 28 you start changing, 29 depressed and then 30 game over! You must become an adult and get ready to start a family. . Spend the remaining [size=18pt]70%[/size] of your life with [size=18pt]1[/size] woman

just the harsh reality
