Boss, please kindly post your transcript. Interview transcripts are like lights that illuminate where there is darkness and doubts.

Apologies for the late post guys, got caught up in other matters.

Had my interview last Wednesday in Lagos.

Here it goes.

Got to the embassy at about 5.45 a.m (maybe too early, 6.00 a.m would have been equally fine)

Luckily I found my way to the top of queue for the 6.30 batch (was about number 4 out of 40 people in the room)

Waited for about 30 mins. Interviews began at about 6.45 a.m.

VO: Good Morning...XXXXX(in a not so very polite way)....didn't hear the rest cos the mic wasn't clearly set yet.

Me: Good Morning Madam

VO: What are you going to do in the US?

Me: I am going to pursue an MBA degree at **** University.

VO: How long is this programme

Me: 21 Months

VO: Goes on typing some stuff......

VO: What have you been doing since graduation?

Me: Working for a Nigerian Bank, in **** role

VO: What do you plan to do after school?

Me: Recited some nice answer I had formatted pre-interview

VO: Takes a long look into her PC.......

VO: Did you take any standardized test?

Me: Yes, I took the GMAT

VO: What did you score..Can I see your test scores

Me: Showed it to her

VO: How are you funding your MBA?

Me: A combination of my personal savings, loan i got from a private company in the UK, and support from my family.

VO: How did you hear of this loan company?

Me: Its affiliated to the University I will be attending and specifically designed for international students.

VO: Why do you think this is the right time for an MBA?

Me: To aid my managerial skills and sharpen my business acumen, which I think will be key for achieving success with my LT career objective.

VO: Ok. Your visa has been approved.

Me: Thanks and Have a nice day.

VO: Have a nice day too

5 top lessons for prospective applicants.

1. Learn as much as you can from other people's experiences. Nairaland was extremely helpful in this regard.

2. Pre-interview, scribble down potential interview questions and formulate intelligent answers that are not leading.

3. Keep these answers as short as possible.

4. Be confident. Your confident is enhanced when you are sure all potential pitfalls have been covered.

5. Exercise your faith in God (or whoever you worship).

Have a great day fam and I wish future applicants all the best with their interviews.

Hello Friends,

I got my visa approved last week Wednesday. The VO asked me to pick up the approved visa tomorrow but I haven't received any sms from the collection centre yet.

Is it oK if I check the collection centre tomorrow morning.

Hello guys! How early should one be @ the embassy for a 6:30 am interview? Thanks! And what time are we likely to get in and stuff. Anyone who's been in a similar situation should give details please! Thanks!

In my case I arrived at the embassy at about 5.45. Interviews didn't start until c.7.40.
It's safe to aim to arrive at 6.00 a.m.
Hope this helps?

Hello Guys,

I got my visa approved this morning. Thanks to all on this forum who shared their experiences.

Will post transcript soon. I believe my experience will help other prospective applicants.
