I got to the embassy around 6 ;15am, after the security checks and thumb print.I messed up when I was called for the thumb print, when the white woman said your the four fingers of your left hand, can you guys imagine that I wanted to place my right hand, then the woman shouted I said the right hand. In my mind I was thinking the interview have started o. I was shivering. But the woman gave me back passport and 1-20, she said I will be needing for interview, so my nerves came down. We have to wait for the VO for over 10 minutes before they arrived. But when I saw those glasses tbat seperate the VO from the people na when I know say the VOs get sense. They know say if they bounce person wey dey get hot temper. If the glass no dey dear the person fit hijack the VO throw for ground. Is all good, that is glass is really good shall. Let continue with the transcript. The lady that interviewed looked like a Chinese lady. She denied one student visa before my turn self. Mehn for my mind I begin pray heavily o. When it got to my turn

I really thank God for his mercies and grace. The thing I can tell prospective applicant is they should tell the truth because when you are telling the truth you will follow freely. And the VO will notice it because they are trained to do that

I am silent follower of nairaland. I really thank God for today and also my special thank to cutemorgan for his assistant when I was filling my DS-160. My F-1 VISA was approved today at Lagos embassy, 06:30 appointment. My profile : BSC in pure and Industrial chemistry(GPA 4.01, ), going for MSC in Chemical engineering at oregon state university. My GRE is 311( 160 Q) My transcript will be coming soon because I must give back to nairaland. Nairaland really helped me in some many ways

Hello nairalanders. I need you guys'advice. I am currently filing ds-160, they asked if anyone has filled an immigration visa for me . The truth is that my mother's uncle filled an immigration visa for my mum, so my mum added me and siblings as her children during immigration stuff. I said NO on the DS -160 because I have never seen that my mum 's uncle since I was born, and also my mum's uncle filled for that immigration visa when I was 8years old. Additionally I don't know where my mum's uncle lives in US and my mum no longer have his contact and also the immigration visa wasn't filled for me directy Please guys I need your advice

oluphy:

Ok,i met the Chinese guy on gradcafe. I don't know when he wrote his GRE

oluphy:
True.... from my "little " experience with these schools... their minimum GRE requirement is false. I believe it's just to keep the application pool large. In my opinion. Better luck with others.... Sup?? Is it that no1 has written GRE here in d last 2 months??

I don't understand the question. Is it that no1 has written GRE here in d last 2 months??

oluphy:
Yea. Got a rejection mail also.... will just proceed with I-20 issuance @ Tamuk jeje, made my decision easier. Think they had a large application pool ds year. Av other options?

I talked with one Chinese guy that got admitted into their PHD program. He got 317 in gre, 170 Q. Even his two friends that got admitted into the MSC cheng LSU in 2014 and 2015, one of them got 322, 170 Q and the other 315 168 Q. Am thinking that their cut off is above what they tell us on the website. This rejection hurts because LSU is my number one school.and they run research with top oil company

@ oluphy. I just got a rejection letter from LSU chemical eng dept. Have you heard from them. In fact is so painful.

oluphy:
FALSE. They do. @least 2

I was trying to apply to oklahoma state uni but that applyweb does not accept diamond visa card. My application is complete,i have even sent my GRE and TOEFL score to them. I heard that GTB bank master card works on that applyweb. I don't know how true the thing be.

oluphy:
FALSE. They do. @least 2
