olarich30:
at last my VISA was approved yesterday morning and my interview was scheduled for 8;15 am

i was first denied on the 22nd of june 2017 , i applied to full sail university for master's in game design . i just had to sum of courage and i reapplied , it was GOD's favor all the way and my VISA was approved by a young white woman in her thirties i suppose at window 5 .

the VO that interviewed me actually came late , she didn't start with the others that morning . i guess GOD sent her to me ,she was friendly and she also gives applicants enough time to express themselves . she denied a guy going for a business meeting because his spouse in the US already filed an immigrant visa for him and she took her time to explain to him then she granted the next applicants going on a tourist visa (father and son) even when the son had be refused in the past . then it came to my turn

Vo....... i see you were refused a visa before , why were you refused a visa the first time ?

me ........ yes i was refused a visa on the 22nd of june but the VO game me no reason but i think it was due to the mistakes i made in my DS160 form , i didn't explain in details what i do at my current place of employment and i also didn't state i have a previous work experience even when i went for NYSC after graduation because i thought it didn't count . i filled everything out in detail in my new application and she just kept on nodding her head .

she just gave me my i20 and sevis receipt back and the white collection paper , she already kept my passport even before the last question .

Hi Guys thanks for ealier feedback:

Please gurus help
I have a student visa to a school in Nebraska. My student i20 form states that my resumption date is 15th august and my earliest arrival date is 15th July. I had booked a flight set to arrive JFK by 11th august (friday).
My reconnecting flight is from JFK to the schools location on same 11th aug.

I hope I wont have cbp troubles as I am obviously 4 days earlier than the resumption date.

Rejected on monday 19 June
Approved friday 22 June 6:30 interview

I was rejected on monday because I had applied a second bsc in a totally different field from sceince to religious studies.

To cut it short, I prayed very hard and I told God that only white papers will be issued until it gets to my turn, na so e happen oh, but only for windows 7 (if im correct) a white man probably 40s, first guy white paper, second white paper, me third white paper also.

See my transcript.

Vo: Good morning, pass me your i20 and passport
Me: here it is, and how was your night
Vo: fine thank you

Vo: why this school?
Me: I will give u two reasons, first the school is engineered to produce graduating students who are both fit to become ministers and christian educators, for me this is killing two birds with one stone (vo cuts in)

Vo: and how is that?
Me: Based on the curriculum
Vo: Tell me about the curriculum?
Me: The have programs like cross cultural ministry (for ministers) and comparative theology (for educators)

Vo: How many school did you apply
Me: 2
Vo: why this one?
Me: the have missionary trips...., mentored ministry..., practical ministry training...., all programs are based on the bible no mix up with ecumenism or scientology
Before I finish vo cuts in

Vo: pick up your visa in three days time
Me: Dancing lagbaja, praising God,
Na so e end oh, leave boyfriend and Girlfriend matter eh no dey pay, Na baba Jesu way sure pass. His words never fail.

Thank you all

Hi guys!

I was denied today. First time at the embassey in lagos.
I had my bsc in the sciences but I had applied for bachelors in religious studies, as these is in line with my future aspirations.

vo asked me why I chose bsc and not msc,
me: my answer was off the question

I became nervous because I had studied all other questions except this shocker. I fombled.

But now I have done the needful and even covered more deeply on other areas.

Please when can I reapply? Semester starts this fall august.
