They may not ask. Liberal art and Science is like main division where we have Science, social science, art etc. Therefore, everyone going for any department under Science, social science (where CJ belongs) or art is going to Liberal art and Science.

my ogas in the house, the school i applied to sent me my i20 indicating my program as liberal art and sciences but when i applied, i applied for criminal justice, me just confuse oo cos i don't even no wat is liberal not to talk of art and science undecided. i have been researching steady online cos i guess i have to defend it to the vo as if dats wat i really want. the only good news about it is dat i guess its only NOUN dat offers it in niaja grin so it wud be a good reason to want to go study it in yankee.

i did inform him about my deferred admission but he didnt inform me he was travelling and even i didn't reason then dat it would take this long to go for the interview. so right now i am confused. i need solutions cos telling the VO dat my uncle wasn't available to give me updated statement may sound like he also wouldn't be available to pay my tuition when the time arrives.

advice needed

kim k's girl:
how it works in naija is that if u study Law outside you do 18 months Law school here to be eligible to practice here

if the VO ask you why are you going to studying american law when it can not be applied in nigeria, what is gonna be ur ans? and as your ans he/she cuts in and ask except you have no intention of practising in nigeria, while looking straight in your eyes, what is gonna be your response? why i am saying this is cos those VOs are looking for a reason in there head not to issue you a visa being your have no intention coming back after studies.

in such situation, i guess your other document i.e GMAT, GRE, who is ur sponsor would determine alot.

just my view, for you to think about.

Ricky Rozay:

YES exactly, that's the Point! You need to tell the VOs what they need to hear...

Even when you come clean in most cases and say the truth and the truth you told doesn't still make rythms and senses to the VO's ears, your application will still be DENIED! Painful truth!.

So tell em what they need to hear and You need to Package yourself Well Well before heading to the US embassy....

See you need to be sharp on that day of the Interview.. The VOs are very smart, and they can detect if you lying, through eye contact, Body Language and Unnecessary Stammering to questions being asked.

These people are trained psycologist you dealing with, but you need to demonstrate to em you are Much smarter... You be 9ja boy. No fear.. God pass em...

As US student Visa applicant, you need to learn how to think very fast! That's very important! Becos these VOs can ask you a question more than ONCE when they suspect something fishy or suspect you might be telling lies and they will want to NAIL you down so they will believe you must have forgotten what you have said to em innitially.

You know when you lie, you will need a thousand lies to cover up the lies you have told.. And most lies people tell might be forgotten.. But TRUTH will Never be Forgotten.

So pls once Again, Be Smart and Learn how to think fast on that Day..

I know why I'm saying this, it happened to me on the day of my Interview.. The VO asked me some questions more than once in different question formats and she was PRETENDING like as if she didn't remember what she previously asked me and the reply I gave her, thinking I was going to change my stance after asking me the same question the 2nd time but I still stood by my words and said exactly the same thing as I filled on my DS 160 form.. No Shaking!!!!

Consistency is another Major factor involving US Visa applications..

See what you will do, AFTER filling your DS 160 form, the day you submit the form, Pls do MAKE SURE you PRINT-OUT the whole application you filled so you can go home and practice and prepare with what you filled, so you don't Forget anything on that Day..

Have your Filled DS 160 form on your Finger tips after submitting it.. That's very important..

Regarding the Employment letter, Since you are telling the VO you were once employed, you still need to take a document to back-up this claim just incase the VO demand to see proof so you don't go there and be looking like a LEARNER....

But they hardly request for documents.. But you still need to get a Letter of Employment from the company you claim you worked for and let em type it on the company's Letter-headed paper and let them Back-date the Letter as well so you can be on a safer side.. You need to prepare for the Unexpected.. So you DON'T give the VOs any slight reason to DENY you..

For example, you were employed in the company on the 15th of March 2010. Let the Letter of Employment be dated on the 15th of March 2010..

Please Once again, Be smart on that day and MOST importantly learn how to think fast..

If you do all this things, I see you coming home with your US student Visa by fire by Force..

Success bro..


bro thanks alot, you too much. with GOD all things are possible. i believe

Obotubong, it does look as though there are (or you are looking to include) a number of LIES in your application. Just make sure your memory is in top shape on the D-day and don't shoot yourself in the leg at the embassy.

my bro, somethings are complicated and i wudnt wanna bore u with them, as u advised, i have written all i filled on my DS160 on a paper and wat i am trying to do is make sure am consistent and it all adds up. i no LYING is wrong but i have no choice now. the truth is that the truth doesn't always help you in all situation. i have to tell them what they wanna hear not necessarily the truth.

i ask again, do i need to carry prof of current employment with me?

Why don't you go for M.Sc instead? Rather than wasting another 4 years of your life doing UG again? Or better still apply as a transfer student, transfer your credits and get placed somewhere around 400 level so that you'll have just 1 year to spend in UG school?

2004 is quite a long gap to cover. That's almost 10years.

If I were you, given this your long gap, I'd include my former B.sc. Let it not look like I've been idle and lazy all these years. Abi o, house? At least I was busy. I attended school. Then I'll now come up with a cogent reason as to why I want another B.Sc degree. If both former and present ones aren't related, I'd start by mentioning how my former course wasn't my preferred choice of course. How my father/mother pressured me into reading it and how I've not been deriving satisfaction from it ever since I graduated and started working in the field. And how I've discovered myself and the course I'm truly passionate about and have decided to go for it.

Or you can come up with something better.


bro the probs i have now is that when i filled my ds 160 i didn't include my uni education and bringing it up at the interview may cause probs. as at when i filled my form, i was so naive about the time difference being an issue and now i am stoked. what do you advice? do i tell about my BSC degree when asked or do i cook up something better?

Pally why bsc again when you have bsc already, it will be very difficult to convince the VO that you remain undergraduate for the past 9 good years. The gap is just too much but all the same nothing is impossible.
Watch n pray bro


actually i wanted changing my field of study cos my BSC no tite at all wink if you no wat i mean, and in my ds 160 i didn't state that i have a bsc. what i have in mind to say if i am asked is dat when my father died ( he is alive duo undecided) i had to spend 4yrs working to raise money for my uni tuition and when i got admission to a very technical program, i was schooling and working but my coarse of studying wasn't my passion and my work didn't afford me enough time to full time studies. i work in a human right law chambers and that was where i found my passion in helping defending the innocent and poor because of all my trials i faced when my father died. my boss saw the passion in me and as my uncle (my sponsors) as a major stakeholder in the firm decided to sponsor my education so i can come back after schooling and pursue my passion in truth and human right investigation, ( why i am stating the human right law firm is cos i am going for criminal justice administration) abeg this reason na rough thinking stuff, abeg i need una to help refine my reason cos 2 heads better pass only me.

please friends what is the best alabi to use in covering 9 years from 2004 when i finished my secondary school till now? and if i say i was working and schooling which i did but i am stilling going for an undergraduate coarse but in a different field. would the VO ask for any document relating to my work or my uni days? what i am looking for here is a good alibi to cover up for time cos i didnt include in my ds 160 that i attended university cos i was trying to avoid a question of why i am going for another BSC and not MSC.

Lol. The kind of faith Jesus talked about. That kind faith tho! If ur faith is what u are banking on, may the Lord grant ur heart desires. No one says u can't get ur F1 with a community college, just that the chances are like that of getting a virgin in the city. Dear brother, tell it to Jesus.

in your opinion why do you think i wouldn't get the visa? i have paid for it, gotten my i-20, i cant change anything now, i have to face what is infront of me now.
