Good morning to you all. I'm full of joy right now. I applied for Canada visit visa last week Dec 12 through paper route, Dec 15 I received a msg from vfs stated my processed passport is ready for collection, Kai I was really scared, just 3days for visa processing, where some people has been waiting over 8weeks yet no response from the vfs. Inshort I went to the vfs today hoping maybe my application was rejected and to God be the glory I was approved with 2years multiple visa.

You guys here are really helpful.

Congrats bro. Your first time of applying right?

jnyuwa02:


UNBC, USASK, YORK, TRENT, QUEENS.

Thanks so much. Please check your mail bro

jnyuwa02:


Absolutely you can apply with no fear. Just make sure you are honest and declare all denials of visa. The question on whether you have been denied visa to any country, is a credibility test. They put it there to see if they can trust every other thing you say. If you pass it, your chances for visa increase. 4 times denial for a USA visa does not affect your Canadian visa eligibility as long as you declare them.

Okay, thanks so much bro. Pls which schools in Canada can be recommended for a masters / probably as an undergraduate

Good day house. I have a question
Can someone who had been denied 4 times US student visa apply for Canada ? He hasn’t applied for any Canada visa before tho

Solomon27:
Has anybody reapplied second time & got approved?

Yeah sure, in as much as you convince the VO you’re truly a genuine student

Eeffy:


Thanks.
Is wakanow a good place to book flight or which cheap place ,can I get cheap airline?

Yes wakanow is good, you can also try Royal Air Maroc

Lamzee:
Hello House, Please I score 1170 in SAT and have GPA of 3.14/4.0, can I proceed with my application or I should write another SAT exam

Wait, are you going for a second degree or what? If yes, it’d be advisable to go for a masters degree instead; GRE and toefl are needed tho cuz I believe SAT is meant for undergraduate

NIGHTLIFE100:
no nairalander can tell you the kind of job ure likely to get, or even guarantee youre going to get a job at all. It all depends on u and ur destiny. The bitter truth

What about the attestation part I made mentioned

Hello house! Please how can I go about this attestation of results you’ve been mentioning here?? I’m about coming to UAE next month hopefully. A graduate holding Bsc in one of the federal universities here in Nigeria

And pls what jobs can I get with my certificate?? Thanks!

Oh yeah

omoluabiguy:
#Yawns

Wait, are you from Osun cuz of this Omoluabi

adey2014:
baba sorry about ur delay. the only thing I saw wrong in this was that u crammed and forgot. I think he expects that as a postgraduate student, you should be able to explain ur reasons well enough. from ur transcript,u cud see he asked u a similar question twice and blanking at the second attempt gave hidm a clue u memorised everything. on ur next and hopefully last attempt. try and give urself time to really understand ur course. write it out into plain paper and try to paraphrase into different statements, find at least 2 to 3 ways to explain the same thing. that way he knows u understand what u saying and not just pouring out what u crammed. I wish u the best bro. sorry about the delay

Exactly! You just spoke out my mind bro. I think that’s the reason why he was delayed. Refire bro!

femi312:
H1B? How? His brother cant file H1b visa for him, only a company in the US can. This 'friend' must realy mean alot to you

Oh, a company in the US rather

biikeys:


Lol @bolded..only companies can file H1-B. A green card holder can only file anything at all for his/her spouse or unmarried children. Siblings obviously don't qualify under this requirement.Your friend and friend's brother both need to familiarize themselves with the US immigration system.

Oh sorry for the typo. You know it’s something I know nothing about. A company in the US I meant

Good day house! This question is for a friend who was denied an F1 visa thrice last year when he wanted to go for his Masters. Now a company in the US is filing an H1b visa for him which would be done with the processing in few weeks time. Please what are his chances of getting an H1b visa approved or there’s no problem?

fisayoprisca:
Thank you everyone at nairaland. Here is my visa transcript. My interview was last Wednesday although I was previously denied on August 7, 2017 and I shared my transcripts here on Nairaland.
My VO was a White Man and he had previously denied two people before me. I do not know the window number but the window was the one to the extreme end stthe right hand side.

VO- good morning Madame
Me- good morning
VO- what are you going to do in the US
Me- I would be the US to pursue my master in Liberal Arts concentration in Gender and Diversity studies at East Tennessee State University.
VO- are you married?
Me-no, I am single.
VO- what is your highest level of degree?
Me- I have a BA French
VO- what year?
Me-February 2015
VO-How many universities did you apply to?
Me- 3 ETSU, WVU and UC ( although I said all in full)
VO- how many gave you admission?
Me- ETSU and Wright state university.
VO- so why this Etsu?
Me- etsu is an interdisciplinary and research based in institution that will equip me with the necessary skills and knowledge both practical and theoretical that would allow me to develop my creative capabilities and that will allow me to solve the problem of child marriage, girl child education and problem of inequality that besets women in a patriarchal society like Nigeria. (Then he cuts in)
VO- so do mean Wright state does not have all this.
Me- no, Wright has but I also chose ETSU because of it faculty program of 16 to 1 students- 16 students to 1 lecturer and also I was awarded an international Merit Scholarship which I would not like to lose because it will allow me to learn and also collaborate.
(Then he stopped looked at me and began typing, and later he raised his head up)
VO- who is your sponsor?
Me- my aunty
VO- what is her name?
Me- .... I said it
VO- do you have her bank statements with you?
Me- yes.
VO- can I have it?
Me- then I began checking my file abd I found it then gave it to him. ( then he went through it for some minutes then typed. Then he raises he head up again looked at me and posed another question.
VO- what are the tools that ETSU will equip you with and how are you going to use it.
Me- then I began again, ETSU is a research and interdisciplinary based institution and apart from this it is a school that encourages diversity by admitting students from different part of the world, students from different continent, of which diversity is fundamental to my course. Learning from other cultures allows me to understand different cultures and Diversity management and also it also me to understand human interaction and culture which will be useful in training young girls in seeing themselves as change pushers in their society and not see themselves as instruments of subservient services.

Then finally he began typing and placed my passport at one side and he stretched one hand to the white paper and he said pick it up at isolo. That was I packed my stuffs oo.

All round favour to those awaiting interviews.

My transcript. My interview was in Abuja.

Vo: why are you going to study in the US?

Vo: what program are you going to study?
Me: public administration and I will be specializing in non profit organization.

Their partnership will allow me do short term internship with any of these organization during my program. I will gain both academic knowledge and hands on experience studying at auburn.

Cephas0009:
good day family... I had my visa interview today. Like someone rightly pointed, its getting tougher by the day .. But this is not to create panic. I just believe all will end well.

In my own case, i just believe it was God's doing. Not to bore you so much, I was interviewed by a guy in Window 6here goes my transcript;

V.O: good morning
Me: Good Morning, how are you doing?
V.O: Fine thank you (in my mind, this is going to turn out good)... Pass me your passport and I-20 please
Me: passes
V.O.: Why are you going to TAMUK?
Me: For my Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering
V.O.: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3, Tamuk. Sdsm&t and TTU
V.O.: So why Tamuk?
Me: Tamuk offers excellent education to its student through high quality teaching, research and scholarly activities. It has facility for work in Computer aided engineering design and computational fluid dynamics. I am keen on working with Dr. Johnbull. I contacted him and he was impressed with my undergraduate result and test scores(if only i know i hyped myself in his eyes at this point ) . I continued, We will be working on a collaborative project with UofW to model their steam generator using ansys fluent or open foam

Now this is where the real driling started... Baba was on his computer for like 2minutes or so, apparently he was checking online for questions to ask me on fluid dynamics since i claimed i was a badass. i have read so many transcripts here on NL, i havent seen something like that before, the most they do is ask one technical question in your field. Then the bombshell followed...

V.O: Tell me about di-kinikan kinikan of fluid mechanics (i swear i never hear am before, in my mind, i was like village people finally followed me to this place)
Me: What?
V.O: Repeated question again ( i still couldn't make sense of what the word means or how to link it with fluid mechanics... My own don be, i asked what again) Then he repeated the question for the 3rd time using the same word and then he was like "or how is it pronounced".. that was when i knew baba just checked something randomly, i dont know where the courage came from, i just started saying this unplanned rubbish confidently and even said it has application in production industry like coca cola
V.o: (obviously wasnt impressed by my answer, i could read that) then he asked for something something on turbulent flow
Me: Confidently, Turbulent flow is a flow where reynolds no is >3000. where you have layers of fluid interwoven into each other. It has application in oil production and undesirable in some circumstances, as a result, you see flow meters and other measuring devices on line (trust me, I dont have an idea of either the question or how the answer i was giving relates with it)
V.O.: Explain Bernoulli's principle
Me.: (Ope ooo, finally i can breathe) Bernoulli principle is basically the law of conservation of energy, the cumulative energy at one end of a flow is equal to the other end, so when you vary a parameter like diameter, you will expect a change in pressure. i gave him an instance of a venturi meter

TBC
