Hello everyone, Happy Holidays
So I need to know your thoughts and advise
In 2018 after youth service I applied for a tourist visa
My purpose of travelling was to attend my brother graduation in Texas A&M university kingsville with my mum she got her visa to travel a month before my interview as she has travelled the previous year
I was denied
Fast Forward to 2021 I got admitted to Texas A&M university kingsville for spring session for Masters in Industrial management
My background
No funding
First Degree:Animal science
Total cost : 29,367
My interview was last month in Dec 2021
I was denied
V.O:Good Morning
Me :Good morning sir
V.O:I see you going to Texas A&M university Kingsville for Engineering management right
Me:I replied Industrial management
V.O:Okay
V.O:So your first degree was animal science and your current working in real estate management and now you want to study industrial how does that fit
Me- I replied I work as an agricultural sales consultant where I source clients looking to invest in agricultural lands to develop agricultural projects and the application of industrial management will give me the leverage to take up a higher managerial roles in agricultural institutes like the Federal Ministry of Agriculture as there is a big push to diversify the economy towards agriculture
V.O: Oh that good
V.O: So who is your sponsor
Me: My Aunt
V.O:Why your aunt and not your Parents
Me: She always ensured I get the right education to improve my career
V.O:what does she do
Me: she is a registered Nurse
V.O:In Nigeria or the US
Me: U.S
V.O:In Texas
Me:No in Chicago
V.O : Sorry you don’t qualify for this visa try next time
I have Deferred the admission for fall session I was looking at getting financial aid. But I have a GPA of 3.74 and I got a Gre score of 278 which was waived. I was told it low by someone and chances of getting funding won’t be possible
N.B: My aunt is a U.S citizen and I used her statement to get out my 1-20 because my mum statement didn’t have the complete balance but would be complete this coming fall so my mum will be my sponsor the next time
I don’t know where I got it wrong another thing bothering me is my brother is in U.S currently working but not in Texas does this limit my chances on my next trial .
Because on my DS -160 Form my brother is there also .
Please I need advice on what can improve my chances on my next trial as I heard changing school is a Red flag
