Dayoaf:
Just say you didn’t get the chance to provide the consular with enough information that would have helped your case. Or “I didn’t get to” and omit the chance. That way your next VO would want to hear what you have to say.

Okay. Thank you for this.

Mickeybook:
what is the category of your first denial... Was it student or b1/b2?

F-1

Mickeybook:
I'd advice you put unknown reasons.... As no one knows the reason for denial except the vo that interviewed you... Hope this helps

Thank you for this, but dont you think the VO will definitely know or conclude that I didn't effect any changes before coming for another interview.

Please guys what can someone fill on DS 160 as reason or reasons for denial? As I dey now, I dont know why the VO refused to approve my Visa.

BoluwajiPieters:
Wow! Did he give any particular reason for denying you the visa? Looks like these VOs work with numbers... Like, they've a quota system or something. It'll be well.

He did not. He just gave me that their normal blue paper that doesn't explain anything and said I will find the reason there.

Janet200:
This is painful o, It’s well.

Ya it is, but we move.

deolubajo:
MS or PhD please?

PhD

godguy:
Sorry about that.
What is in your i20? scholarship or Graduate Assistantship?

Research assistantship

Visa Interview Transcript:
Location: Abuja
School: Pennsylvania State University
COA: 74k
Scholarship: 38k
Deficit: 36k
Attempt: 2nd attempt (1st attempt was in 2019)
Status VISA APPROVED

V.O: Good morning

Me: Good morning, how is work?

VO: Fine thank you. (With a little surprise stare)
Pass me your I20

Me: Pls have it. (Placed my hands for biometric)

V.O: What are you going to do at Pennstate University

Me: I'm going for my Master of laws program in Public International law under the foreign lawyers program since my practice jurisdiction is not within the States (I said this cos my I20 says LLM - foreign lawyers program, so I used it to my advantage)

V.O: Where do you currently work?

Me: I run my own law firm ****LLP alongside my partner counsel **** Bruno Tobi. He will be in charge while I go for my studies, I also run a non-for-profit the Center for ****** on the side.

V.O: How many staff do have there?

Me: We have 2 associates, one intern and 2 office assistants.

V. O: What are you going to do when you return from this program?

Me: I will return to my position as the managing partner of our firm *****LLP and also see to the launching of our mediation center under the auspices of the Center for ******.

V.O: I can see you have scholarship of 38k, so who will be paying for your deficit?

Me: My elder sister Claire will paying for my deficit.

V.O: I see, (she muttered while holding on to my i20 and passport probably looking to confirm a few details.
okay sir, (after typing for few seconds)
I will be approving your visa (there came the white � �️ sweet sheet.)�

Me: Thank you and have a nice day (meanwhile I remained there pretending to be listening to those routine advice)

*FINIS*

*Personal tip:*
Start early, don't be in a haste else you blur your chances. (I took me 3 solid years) prepare well, fast and pray, as a Catholic I had to do some long novenas, avoided all the daughter's of eve that came calling to come to my house and massage me

Secondly, guys grace works, but you have to do the work especially your DS160 form (make sure infos rhyme with your previous interview forms), take your time and fill it well. But above all pray, fast and fervently ask for uncommon favour and grace.

While at the US embassy, I noticed that all the embassy staff including the V.O were extremely kind and polite towards me, unlike in my first interview. I went to this interview more spiritually prepared than ever. Only God saw me true. Jesus Christ owes all the credit.

Thanks you all for everything. I can’t thank Fairheart and everyone on NL that has contributed positively enough for all the love and support.

DON'T EVER EVER GIVE UP.

God bless you all��

Congratulations bro. Was your interview today?

Femotech123:
Sorry for your denial my bro.
But your transcript you posted isn’t well detailed enough, what is your course of study , is it a bachelor or masters and also maybe your work did not correspond with the course you wonna study and indicate if it’s LAG or ABJ.. so that gurus in the house can make comments . But for me is either your sponsor you don’t specify the exactly business he do at least one or two job is ok not he is this he his that and that... shy you grab or the work you do presently didn’t go with the course you wonna study... best luck next time reapply and prepare well again my brother 100 for you

There is nothing wrong with his transcript. He posted based on what he was asked. I was also denied today by the Korean guy, and this was the exact question he asked me. I even have full funding. My own is a fully funded program. He said he can see that I have a scholarship, I wanted to explain to him that it is not scholarship but full funding, he just did not listen.

Virtually everybody that he interviewed today was same question. He will first ask if you have travelled out before, once you say no, the next questions na just for formality sake.

I dont know why the other lady was not on sit today.

latosolorunwa:
Hello guys,
I need your help on this following items:
1. How much is savis fee?
2. What are the likely questions for f1 visa.

Sevis fee is $350.

For likely questions, check transcripts of those that have gone for visa interview.

Cannicus:

Round figures are not always good.

I would have set $79, $79.5 or $79.9

Yes, it clicked.

To buy Sanshu
1. download Hotbit and register
2. buy tron on binance or any other exchange and transfer it to Hotbit. Binance charges just 1 tron. That’s very cheap.
3. Sell your tron on Hotbit using Usdt pair
4. Convert your usdt to nUsdt on Hotbit
5. Use your nUsdt to buy Sanshu

Thanks bro. Tron is Trx on Binance right?

BrokerHaruna:
#XEC ecash is the future of digital currency. To me, this is accumulation season before many folks know about it.

#sanshuinu... those that miss it will regret later

I have bagged Xec.

Where can I get Sanshuinu?

priceaction:
No one is perfect man, just analysis here and there. My problem is that I don't have many free time for deep analysis to start making regular calls.
We have multiple ways of analysing markets based on individual experiences, but mostly I build my analysis on order flow, price action and momentum, coupled with that app I once shared, crypto scanner on playstore.

Thanks bro for the BTCST call, I benefitted from it too. Looking forward to such call again

WhyGeez:
Elon on kuccoinn ...join the league not slowing down anytime soon

jedisco:
As u see 3.5- 5, ur eye dey shine... Coyn is shib... But if you don't know the coyn, then perhaps you shouldn't be buying at this stage abi want yo donate ur money to the market?...

Lolz... I actually know the coyn but was kinda confused cus of the price terms you guys were using.

jedisco:
If it crosses 2, I'd start guaging it from the breakout point which was 0.08 to 0.1.... Finally, this thing fit reach 3.5 - 5....

Really hoping for a pullback to 1.5 at least

Please which coin are you guys talking about?

nna777:
Boy o Boy. Serious mopping up of Shiba is taking place. 11T in usdt and 4T in busd today alone. Similar pattern is playing out when dodge pumped. It was first a mop up before the pump up.

This is not a financial advice

Where do you think will be a good entry?

Duisburg:
Oh, good. Congrats.

Thanks man

Duisburg:
Sorry, may I know your profile?

B.A - 3.61
M.Ed - 3.5
GRE - 286

My profile no too choke like that. I think my work experience also helped me cus the Professor that interviewed me said he like the fact that I have teaching and research experience.

Duisburg:
You welcome. You got fully funded from Texas Tech?

Yes

Duisburg:
Leave it blank.

Okay, thanks

VISA APPROVED GUYS! Spring 2022
COA-28k
Scholarship-4k
Deficit- Covered by my Father
Date: 30th September 2021
Location: Abuja
Time of appointment:8:30

Not my first time going to the US Embassy( but was denied B1/B2 in 2018). This forum has been instrumental to my practice and information, so I had to just post mine for others to see.

Got there by like 7:45, entered by like 9, but had to wait for like 2hrs 30mins extra cause i chose Lagos on my DS-160, but got appointment in Abuja (there was no space in Lagos). I was interviewed by a white man. Omo The guy really drilled me, but to the glory of God, i was well prepared and the holy spirit helped me to be eloquent.

VO: Good morning, pass me your documents.
ME: Good morning, How are you doing today?
VO: Alright
VO: Have you been to USA before?
ME: Yes, a number times actually, I’ve been there about three times.
VO: When last did you travel and why did you travel
ME: 2016, Went with my family, It’s just for Holidays and a time for us to bond
VO: What’s your highest degree?
Me: I have a bachelors degree in anatomy
VO: Where did you graduate
ME: Babcock Uni
VO: I can see you are going to St. cloud state University
ME: Yes, that's right
VO: For masters in biological sciences, but you did anatomy, So why this course?
ME: Well biological sciences is a broad multidisciplinary course made up of different specialized field, and anatomy is just another aspect of this field. So me doing anatomy in my undergraduate gave me the foundation to succeed in this program. I’ll be specializing in neuroinformatics; as i’m interested in drug design & development against neurodegenerative diseases (The night before when i was rehearsing prior to this, something told me to learn how to link my undergraduate degree to what i’m going for and then what i plan to do with it. And that was the first major question asked)
VO: Okay (Shakes head in affirmation, that’s good)
VO: How did you get to know about this school?
ME: I go to know about it from a lecturer of mine, He collaborated and has worked with another professor at that school (state the professors name). So when i decided i wanted to get a masters degree in USA, I checked out the school and luckily for me they had a program that aligned with my career goals. So i applied.
VO: So, What will you be doing after your study?
ME: I plan to apply and work at a top biotech/pharmaceutical company here in nigeria such as GSK, Roche, Emzor, where i’ll be trying to improve in drug design and development against neurodegenerative diseases such as alzheimer’s, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis parkinson’s. Also, I plan to work with NGOs and ministry of health to create awareness and improve treatment strategies/plan against these neurodegenerative diseases for the elderlys, that would be my quota for national development. And in the long run i’ll like to start up my biotech company which would be focused in neuroscience.
VO: typing for a long time* wow that’s really excellent. So what do you do?
ME: I’m a youth corper, currently finishing up my service. I serve in Enugu (stated where i serve), just flew in to Abj yesterday actually
VO: I can see you got a scholarship?
ME: Well yes, (tried to hand him the certificate for scholarship, *stops me* no no just tell me what’s it for) Ohh, it was given because i reached the academic standard and for cultural exchange as i’ll be adding diversity to the school, i didn’t apply for it tho.
VO:Alright, *Points at the other name on the i-20* Who is this?
ME: Ohh that’s my father, he will be the one funding the rest of my expenses
VO: And what does he do?
ME: He owns business that deal in importation, local production and distribution of clothing fabrics to private & government organizations. So he works with govt official such as army, police
VO: *Interjects* Do you have any relatives or family member in the united states?
Me: No, i do not.
VO: Do you have friends in Minnesota?
Me: No, I don’t
VO: *types for longggggggg* well everything looks really good, I’ll be granting you your visa. *Hands me the white paper*

Starts talking about Covid-19, asks me if i have been vaccinated ( which i have been ). And keeps talking about taking direct flights and blah blah blah.........

I’ve seen a number of people that got easier/simpler questions; this was my prayer. Unfortunately i didn’t . I studied/rehearsed thoroughly. And God granted me the grace to find favor in the eyes of the consular officer and answer the questions audibly and without issues.

It was just God, that's all I can say!

Whatever way you are feeling about a question when you are preparing, do not ignore that feeling, cause if i had ignored that feeling and just prayed that God should not allow the question to be asked. I’ll be hooked!!!
It’s better u are prepared and the question isn’t asked than you are asked and u are unprepared.

Prepare like there is no God and pray like you did not prepare at all!

Thank you all very much for all the help, this platform really helped me.

Congratulations man
