SEASON THREE: I was directed to the bulky Asian man at WINDOW 1. (The guy face strong no even smile atall)

VO: GOOD MORNING
ME: Good morning sir

VO: Pass me your passport. (I gave him). Why are you going to the US?
ME: I will be travelling to pursue my masters degree in Communication studies at Tarleton State University, Texas.

VO: Give me your I-20? (I gave him)

VO: Why did you choose the school?
ME: Asides from the fact that I will be recieving as a plus to my degree, a dual certificate in Organizational comm and Computer Mediated Communications, the program infuses a blend of modern and traditional methods of comm. (cuts me short).

VO: A lot of schools offers this same course in the US why are you picking this school.
(Truth is I just told him some jargons I can't remember. Then He looked at me like "e be like say this girl dey craze" and then he lost his cool).
I said why are you choosing a small school in the middle of nowhere in the US for your program? (and he looked straight into my eyes, I felt like disappearing but braced up).

ME: I want to become an Internal Communication specialist and media analyst for Multinational corporations and I have been working with Dr Jennifer Edwards from the university who is the Executive director of Texas Social Media Research Institute on a paper (he smiled and cuts me)
VO: Who will be sponsoring your trip?
ME: My aunt she owns chains of petrol and gas stations scattered all over Nigeria.

VO: Have you ever traveled out of the country before?
ME: No.

(He looked at the two papers looked at my face and just turned his face to his computer picked one paper without turning and he turned back and saw it was the white one, he gave me and told me to come get my visa blablabla, I didn't even hear the rest as I quickly grabbed the white paper and slipped out of the door before he changed his mind, you know you really can't rely on China tins � ). JUST LIKE THAT, OLOWOGBOGBORO stretched forth my my white paper to me and that's how I got my visa!!! He never finish o!


SEASON FOUR: I want to specially thank everyone on this thread who has ever answered any question, God bless you. I don't feel bad about those that couldn't help me, an adage says "To catch a monkey, you need to climb the the tree" so I just take it as one life experiences. Vinci500, and Mr John thanks big time. Texrem, I throway salute for you, for the sacrifice of your holiday time and all God bless you big, and I need to go and fight MTN they were just slashing my credit anyhow. Please If you are waiting for interview, pray for favour and be bold but practice remember "Faith without works is dead". In all I give the ultimate thanks to God who favoured me all through.

I am so happy to hear this ,Since its the backyard of JFK i should just book a bus or train instead of spending more money on another flight ticket, ..Please can you try to link me up ? because this accommodation issue is making me go gaga

LagosismyHome:
Maryland na backyard of JFK....... Not too far. You can even take a bus or train no need to fly but can fly as well ... which part of MD are u going ?.

Just saw it Eastern shore....my uncle a prof there , could have linked you but i didnt stay in touch with the family which i feel so guilty about

My destination is Maryland ..I would love to book it at once but I'm still having problem with accommodation that's why i wanted to book a flight to JFK first..

LagosismyHome:

@LagosismyHome Will it be okay for me to book a flight to JFK first then when i get to the Airport i can book a connecting flight to my destination ??

Please anyone in Maryland i need accommodation ....i would like to know how much its going to cost me .I am going to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore ..

Praise the Lord, thanks to nairalanders, thanks to Mr seun (BDG)
I was first interviewed by lady that denied me, I told myself I will allow you to interview me but this time around no more blue for me. She denied the first person before me, I was the second, after the ask the first two usual questions I guess she wanted to deny me but the holy spirit intervain, she said, Oooh I have in interviewed u before I said yes (smiling) she has to redirect me to my destiny helper (a male).

Approved transcript:
Vo: good morning
Me: good morning sir, how was your night?
VO: fine thank you, pass ur passport en i20
Me: I did
VO: why are going to the US
Me: I am going for my masters programme in business administration
Vo: why do you want to go for this programme
Me: MBA is build my leadership skill, it will enhance my technical and it will provide me the needed analytical skills needed for my career growth
VO: why the school?
Me: I choose University of Bridgeport, because the school has good and flexible curriculum that suits my desire career, because the school.... (the VO cut in) He didn't allow me to finish
Vo: this is what I have been hearing, tell me something different (that's the work of the lord because he didn't allow me to land before his conclusion)
Me: (I continue) , sir I chose the school because of real practical in finance experience the lecturer I communicated with who I will be working with, Prof. Samuel lota was impressed with my role in the place I work here in Nigeria, he therefore requested to for me to be involved in his ongoing research
VO: I didn't even hear what he said, after the only thing I am seeing is the paper with dove colour (I said with in me.. Yes, holy spirit I can see ur work)

My fasting and prayers still continue,

my advice
What prayer/fasting does is to connect you with the right people, right place, it gives you courage among others, but the place of practice is very important as well.
A friend (Mr Seun from a whatsapp group, BDG he is also on this platform) did alot of job in mock interview, till late yesterday night. I don't know how much I can thank him. He has been rewarded with a visa aswell.
Please guys make sure you practice with someone, don't only read transcripts or write(most of what I do write I don't usually say them not until Seun streamline my response to be concise and precise.

In sum,
To God be all the glory.

Congrats bro ...Oluwa Ni .

Visa Approved! 6.30am Transcript.

So I stayed in one of the hotels mentioned here: Semi Ramis on Hawley Street, Obalende. Room is ₦4.5k with A/C

Couldn't sleep, was just singing praises and asking God for favor (I need to stress this part)

Left the hotel around 4.30am, dropped my phone with the hotel receptionist.

Got to Walter Carrington around 4.45am. I was the first person there. I just started gisting with the MOPOL Officers there.

The whole process started around 6am

I was the second on the queue. The lady in front of me went to a white lady, while the Chinese guy called me.

VO: Pass me your i-20 and Intl Passport (no good morning orishirishi)
I passed the docs.

VO: How did you get to know about the school?

Me: My cousin, who is an alumna of the school strongly recommend it and I also checked collegefutureboard and common app to see if the school meets my career goals.

VO: You are 24, why are you just going for your BSC?

Me: Upon graduation from Sec School in 2008, I did an OND in computer science for two years and a compulsory one year internship where I worked as a Data Entry Personnel. Then I went ahead to do an HND in the same course for two years. I later enrolled in computer school for a year and took my SAT in between.

VO: Why are there so many inconsistencies in your story? You just kept skipping programs, you didn't finish any. How am I sure you are going to finish your program?

Me: I did finish. Diplomas are not longer than 2 years and I did two before I went to Computer school?

VO: What's the name of the computer school?

Me: *I just went blank*

VO: What's the name of the computer school?

Me: The computer school is in Lagos.

VO: What is your major?

Me: Information Technology.

VO: How sure am I that you will come back? What will you be doing after the program?

Me: I intend working in a top tech company in Nigeria as a world class software developer, because we have just a few software developers in the country and I want to bridge that gap by becoming a solution provider.

VO: Be honest with me. Did you work at all? Just be honest.

Me: Yes I did, but they were volunteer jobs and I wasn't paid for those gigs so I didn't include it on my DS 160.

VO: Enjoy your stay in the US.

Me: What??

VO: I said Enjoy your stay in the US.

I really benefited from all the transcripts dropped here. At some point I wanted to scream "any Nairalander in the house?" but fear no gree me.

Please and Please try to do a mock interviews before your appointment.

Pray too biko. I was just favored by God today. My voice just dey shake.

Special thanks to @texrem and @Adewotired.

The journey has been very stressful for me, I started following this page when I applied for my visa about a week ago. I made a mistake on my DS 160 form, in the part where I was asked who is paying for the trip.,i thought it meant who is paying for the flight,I chose self, I later got to know it meant who is sponsoring you and I mistakenly also filled the part that said native name, which I ought to have ticked, don't apply. I had to cancel the appointment fill another one and thank God, they were still spaces available for today.
Fast forward to today, I stayed with a friend of mine at onikan, I slept early after praying woke around 4am,prayed cos I was scared of being denied and prayed over my documents and couldn't sleep back. I left for embassy and got to see all those touts but thank God for nairaland, just spoke within myself, u guys can't deceive me. Got to the embassy and saw a crowd, men I was scared. Did all the biometrics and screening,. 3 VO's were interviewing, a fine pretty young white lady, a Chinese guy and another white guy, the Chinese guy approved the first 3, the white approved 2 denied one, while the pretty lady denied 3,she was just issuing blue form,. I was just praying Pls God favor me ooo, my color is white ooo. I was directed to this pretty lady and the guy she was interviewing was going for visit visa to his wife in the hospital, however she does not bear the same surname with the guy, the guy wanted to present marriage certificate but she no gree look am, blue form immediately, Na so this guy started crying, men I felt for him, but I thought he should have prepared an ans for the vo.

V.O : so, why New England College

V.O : When did you finish university

Me: in 2013

V.O : What have you been doing since then.

Me: After NYSC, i have been working as a medical officer at the federal medical center Lagos, where i treat general medical cases. I manage uncomplicated medical emergencies in all age groups.
