Houston poe is kind of hard but again if you have done nothing wrong it's gonna be safe passage

MrRoYCe:
I transferred without doing any semester in Troy Univ. so it should be possible.

igbonerd:
Hi. Just an inquiry, and not an answer to your question: what department did you apply to? I have an admit from Michigan Tech, but it is unfunded.

bbdd:

No, you must attend Middle Tennessee State for one semester before transferring to M. Tech. Your visa approval documents were based on MTSU

Visa approved this morning at Lagos consulate 6:30am transcript coming later. Glory be to God

Chai that Asian guy dey destabilize people o....wanted to run to the toilet when I was next and taught he would call be but thankfully I was call to window 4 .a black woman who was mature interviewed me

I got my f1 visa today. Honestly, I can't remember the conversation that transpired between me and the officer (the Chinese at window 1). All I remember was that I forgot ALL I prepared for the interview and said a lot that was off. Nevertheless, the man issued me a visa. Since I can't remember, I am going to state my profile as it appears on my DS 160:

1. I completed my undergraduate degree in 2005 with a BSC in Economics

2. Since then I've worked with a commercial bank as a contract staff (since it was difficult for to get into mainstream) and later as a real estate agent when I lost that job.

3. I applied to 7 universities ( 2 in UK and 5 in US) : I chose MTSU for an MA in Economics

4. I have my elder brother as my sponsor. He resides in Katy, Texas

5. I am still single at 34.

Even though I was very confident about my visa before the interview, cos I practiced for months, but when the actual conversation started and lost my footing, I concluded in my heart I wasn't going to get it but lo and behold, he issued me.

MY THOUGHT:

- If you have genuine intentions of going to school, there is a very high chance you'll get your visa approved.

- For those whose profile looks like mine and you are sure of 1 above please get all the advice you can here from the gurus, you will get it.

- Document is key. Take time to prepare your documents from university applications to visa application. It shows your level of organisation and portrays you are student who is meticulous. Be consistent with the information you provide when filling your forms.

- please say the truth. I think they now show preference to people who are truthful. He was surprise when I told him 34. He thought me to be younger than 34. At that time I sense he saw my sincerity, even though I was shaking and speech was not coordinated. And if you have a relative in the US please don't hide it. That information may be the difference between your visa approval and denial.

-Be excited about what you're going to the US to do. Read about, watch it on YouTube, join Facebook groups for it, in that way you won't struggle with questions when they come, as I saw a lot of people do today.

-Finally, God. When the Lord says it's your time, No man will stop you. I was denied a UK study in 2009. Denied Canadian visa twice, one in 2013 and another in 2014.

I know that some people may ask why am so excited about visa people get every day without sweat. My excitement is about the lesson that follow :

A. God is able to do all things

B. It is not over when we fail, but it is when we quit


I hope this helps someone!

profojah:
Bro, is it from MTSU?,

profojah:
I've been trying to send a pm,..kindly pm me,.

profojah:


BTW, Did you fundings from any of the schools?,....

onuawuchi:
People I need your contributions. There are two major conditions I perceive will be the weakness of my application and they're seriously giving me concern.

1. My education gap: I completed my undergraduate studies in 2005. Though I have been working since 2008. I'm anticipating lots of questions coming from the VO as regards my long time away from academics.
2. Sponsor: My elder brother will be funding my education, but he has a permanent residency status in the US.

I just want to know how best to approach my interviewer to make my study intentions very clear and unambiguous. And how to prove quickly within the 3,4 mins of interview that I will leave at the completion of my studies I notice they hardly request for documents

worry357:
You can try, but first it had better be real and honest. Or you are looking at a long ban.
They will check!

slimmy05:
Thats the most important thing. Is your school in same state with your uncle?

Don't worry, that might now show immigrant intent even that's a mark.
