I told her I would love to establish a Microbiological laboratory where I'll combine the traditional method with molecular method in diagnosis and research. I also told her that this pcr methodology is efficient, sensitive, time saving and more accurate. I was busy lecturing her through the interview window. I told her pcr makes use of nucleotide sequences (DNA) in identifying microorganisms. she then asked me : what is a DNA? I said deoxy ribonucleic acid and she said; come bck in two working days and get ur visa and passport and she handed me the white paper...

Note: Twice, I wanted to bring many documents that I came with but she said ; pls I don't need documents.

Good evening all, visa was approved today at US consulate Lagos. I just wanna thank everybody that has ever commented on this thread as I always learn from what I read here. Special thanks to @slimmy2005 for helping with my sevis fee payment and @holudarey01 for always checking up and of course @cutemorgan for introducing me to this thread.
My appointment was 6:30am and I was the first person to be attended to today, here it goes.

V.O: Why are you going to the US?
Me: To pursue my doctorate degree in chemistry at Louisiana State University.
V.o: At baton rouge?
Me: Yes at baton rouge.
V.o: What other degree do you have?
Me: Bachelor's degree
V.o: In what course
Me: chemistry as well
V.o: great, did you get any kind of funding?
Me: Yes I did, graduate teaching assistantship, waives my tuition and with a generous stipend....couldnt help but smile
V.o: smiled back, thats exciting
Me: very exciting
V.o: So how did u know about Lsu?
Me: It was first recommended to me by a friend who did his graduate studies there, then I read up on the school, its chemistry program is rated top 100 in the entire country, and they have some really interesting researches going on.
V.o:* nodded* thats good, did you apply to any other schools?
Me: Yes, four other schools..
V.o: have you paid your sevis fee?
Me: yes I have
V.o: then he typed somethings for a bit, ok your student visa is approved, you cant enter the US until 30 days bfore ur program start date. Dont forget to have your I20 on your person and not in your luggage. Then something about Education Usa.

At this point, I was too happy to say anything, was just nodding. Typing it now, it seems long but it all took less than 3mins.
Thank you all.

Like I said earlier, visa was approved today in Lagos. 11am appointment

Since I booked the appointment on the 20th of April, I have not been able to sleep well. The interview was all I could think of, so I prepared using part 7 transcript and pages (1-200 and 251 to the end). I fasted and prayed for 2 days too.

I couldn't even sleep well this morning. Woke up around 4am.

I got to the embassy around 9:20 and immediately joined the queue. During the verification process (before entering the thumb printing and interview room), the guy in front of me was sent back to reapply because his confirmation number on the DS-160 he brought didn't match what they had in his appointment. So people whatever you do, if you must edit your DS-160 after submitting and a new confirmation code is generated just re-schedule your interview with the new confirmation code to avoid unnecessary gobe!

After the security checks, we were directed to the mighty hall. I must commend people on this thread. ha! you guys have done such a good job that nothing was left to my imagination. Everything was exactly as described. I felt like I had been there before, which really helped my anxiety and nervousness. After moving the queue, it got to my turn, but before then the family of 4 that was interviewed before me were denied, so were the two females that flanked them on the left and right. I kept singing different songs in my head as it helped fade out the environment and ease tension too. I don't even remember the window number I was interviewed sef but the lady had deep blue eyes and wore a straight face.

ME: Good morning *with a genuine smile* *then passed my documents (Passport, SEVIS and I20)*

VO: Good morning, tell me about your plans *she looks at my I20 for like 3 seconds and dropped it and didnt touch it till she returned it to me**she then types for some seconds*

ME: I plan to travel to the University of Bleep for my masters degree in Technology Management. After which I will return to Nigeria and use my skill set in assessing the various sectors for shortcomings and improving on them.

VO: Who will be paying for the program?

ME: Ma mere, she is a bleep bleep bleep

VO: *types for a bit*

VO: Have your I20. Your visa has been approved, you will be needing this to pick up your passport

Shikena!

Congrats

Me : I chose this course cos it will help me develop the required skills and expertise needed to understand the global economy  through the knowledge of some key element of international biz such as the global finace and investment, this will malso prepare me for a career as a economics/management analyst and also improve my opportunity of joining the cbn
Vo: don’t u think the cbn will prefer a degree in ecn?
Me: well the international biz course is more flexible as it combines biz and ecn courses with relevant policies that revolves around economic growth which will be (cuts in)
Vo: that’s ok (nodding)
Vo: whats d name of your undergraduate institution

(she don dey nod like agama at this point.. I just soju nu(throway face) they form baddo), this will however enable me to understand (cuts in)

Fortissimo:


GT, Sterling

Fortissimo, pls reply me na. U hve a pm sinceeee

imperiouxx:


Before coming I only have 2nd hand idea about research. When I got here and I met him, he told me about his research work and publications. Then he divided the research into 5 areas (definitely areas he needs student researchers), so I chose mutagenesis. From here I started reading about the area, he also provided lots of related work and finally we suggested topic and the research began. Supervisor will want you to choose areas within his research. Any papers published go to both of you.

Can I send u a pm boss?

Congrats man!

GOD HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! VISA APPROVED today at US Consulate, Lagos.
To all dem gurus and bosses wey dey help us for this thread, your boy is loyal and I am saying thank you.
I am really in a happy mood so I am sharing a very long epistle (my interview gan gan was short). IT’S MY TESTIMONY, PLS BEAR WITH ME.
Left Abeokuta for Lagos at about 5:46am for the 11am appointment. Got to the Consulate at about 9:35am and was immediately welcomed by an agent who started lecturing me on the procedure and the ‘new formalities’. Well, he also offered to help me keep my stuffs with a little change so I followed him to his shop. He then said I need a coloured copy of my passport data page and he will do it for 1k, then I cannot go in with the passport ID I brought as I have already used it for my application. The consular will need a more recent picture different from the one I used for my DS-160 and that will go for another 1k5. I knew they were 41tens but I still called my boss, Emmy @Holudarey01, to confirm.
I tried to calm my nerves in his shop and I left to join the queue at about 10:30am.
We passed through the normal verification and clearance and we got to a room where the male folks had to off their belts. I no too get big body like that but I thank God sey I don chop some food and my trousers don balance for my waist or I for they hol my trousers with my hands. So guys abeg wear trousers wey balance for your waist o.
AND THEN we got to the hall. Did my biometrics and the woman wished me good luck which I claimed with a big thank you.
The first thing I did was to fine tune my hearing to the voice of the VOs, to determine my ‘hearing proficiency’ and how I would need to adjust when I move close.
I then I noticed that the hall is a visa denial hall, they just dey share that blue paper like sey dem dey invite people for programme. I was very scared and practically SHAKING. I could not really pin point any nice VO. As a matter of fact, I used about 20 minutes in the hall and I could only count about 6 people that were given.
And then it got to my turn, while I was waiting for the VO to finish up with another applicant, I was checking my head for a bible verse but I sha finally laid hold on Ex 4:12 – Now go therefore, and I will be with thy mouth and teach you what thou shalt say.
Na like this the yearn go;
Me: Good morning sir
Not sure he answered.
I passed my passport, I-20 and Sevis receipt to him immediately.
VO: Place your right four fingers on the scanner
Me: I did
VO: Typed a while and checked my I-20( I-20 has been folded into two so he was still perusing the upper part.)
Why did you wanna school at the University of Minnessota?
Me: Well, It’s one of the top schools in US and ranks 16th in Plant Science according to usnews.com. The Department offers courses in Plant Biotechnology with is in line with my long term goals and on top of that, I am very convinced that the Professors are well experienced and they will do a great job to equip me with the necessary skills I need to succeed when I return to Nigeria to work for an Agricultural research institute. (at this point, I don dey gather small small confidence)
VO: Do you have any family in US?
Me: No sir, No sir.
VO: Typed for a while and then flipped to the second part of my I-20
I can see you got an Assistantship, what are you gonna do to keep it?
Me: Well, I must be committed to work for about 20 hours per week, maintain my status as a full time student and also have a CGPA that is not less than 3.0 out of 4.0 ( The guy just dey nod)
VO: OK, what are you gonna be doing? ( I no understand am, so I said sir with my ear titled to the window)
He repeated and said, Your assistantship, what will you be doing?
Me: Oh! I will be working with Dr Rex Bernado in Plant breeding and Molecular Genetics and together we will be developing new varieties of corn (he turned away and started typing again, I continued) that are better adapted to wide range of environmental stress and also high yielding.
Na so the guy just dey type o, paused for a while and put my I-20 in my passport and then continued typing. Na so I dey look am, for my mind i be like guy no just try am! Fear griped me o. I just know sey i no dey collect your blue paper. I sha dey try say some prayers.
VO: When he finished typing, He removed my I-20 from my passport and said YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED and it would be ready for collection on Friday.
Come see correct smile on my face.
He did his POE lecture but he don forget wen I gast enter US so he asked his colleague. Told me and then passed me my I-20
Me: Thank you sir.
I left the Consulate at about 11:30am

Two babes I met outside were denied, one said its her second time and she will go to Abuja for the 3rd one, na so i dey advertise Nairaland o. Anoda guy in the car to abk also recognised me and we chatted, he was also denied and its so pathetic that he’s supposed to resume next week.
I give God the ALL the glory, his faithfulness is ever true, always on the safer side when you have him as a friend. Many thanks to my big boss @Holudare01 for always referring me to NL to check out this thread, this boss single-handedly sent my about 15 study materials for GRE preparation, sent me the transcript of all approved visas in part 7, (i jark that stuff o, I jark am die) always ready to put me tru wen I’m confused about anything. Boss, God bless you, I am trusting God that you will also share your testimony soon.

All of una wey still dey wait for your interview, there is a GOD, HE helped me today, He will help you too. All the best.

BTW Agric folks no dey this thread ni? na so so chemistry, Engnring, biosciences, geology, MBA, MPH, I.T and so on full here.

And if you dey Abk, come make we celebrate o.
