Gbemi16:

Is your previous masters related or similar to your intending master course of study?

Ok thanks much...please which school can I go to study project managementamd tuition is cheap also no ielts. Hope Im not asking for too much?

Pefuele:
Spring2022 is more realistic & you should start now. Most Spring apps close in Oct. Some schools app for Spring will close this month. Also as you prepare for Spring2022 put fall2022 in the picture.

Okay please any idea ofa cheap school I can study project management?

Mojisola95:
You can still apply but you will have to choose spring 2022 for your resumption, that is January intake not this year again because of appointment date and processing time for the school

Stalon99:
I stayed in City transit inn for two days this week for my interview. It's 10 - 15mins drive to the embassy.
It's a nice hotel.

Thanks a million

Hello everyone.
Good evening all
Please this will be first time applying for US student visa. I need help guys. I have been following up and have been going through some transcript.
I need help on the step by step process for visa application after admission or the link here where I can read them.
Question: Is it okay to use my Brother-in-law (employer) as a sponsor? or Should my brother fund his account the amount required?

Thanks all

walepepe21:
Good! Kindly apply to this schools ;

Harvard University
Cornell University
UPenn University
Stanford University
Dartmouth College
GaTech
Duke University
Yale University

Thank me later.

JavanElsevier41:
That was where u got it wrong bro
Only the schools address you should have put.
The VO already sensed the Jakpa mood instantly.

Hello, I have a similar issue just that my brother stays in Georgia while my school is in florida. He is also my sponsor. Is that bad?

Duisburg:
Okay. But can I use a statement get my I-20, and use another during interview provided I tell the school to put family funding?

You can't tell the school to put family funding. They have a way they prepare the sponsorship part of their i-20. You can only ask them to make corrections if something is not right on the i-20. It is possible that you can change sponsor but ensure they are legit.

Approvalll:
@pefuele please advice me on what to do my school start date is on the 16th of august and my interview date is also on the 16th of august while classes begin on the 23rd of august please what would be the best thing in this type of situation please guru advice me

16th of August is a Monday if you are approved you can pick your VISA like Thursday or Friday of that week all things being equal. Then book your flight immediately.

In fall2019 some guys that did their interview who were placed on AP had their VISA approved after the program start date so it is possible for you to also defer your application to Spring after approval.

Date: 15/07/2021
Location: Abuja
Time: 8am
Status: Delayed

VO: Good morning sir
Me: Good morning

VO: I can see you are going to Bowie state University for your masters degree in computer science is that right?
Me: Yes, I'm actually going to continue my program, I did the Spring semester online.

VO: Ok this is your first time going to resume in-person?
Me: Yes

VO: where do you work
Me: I work as a web developer in xyz Company where we build and deploy tech solutions to business individuals and NGOs, we are basically into web development, mobile app development both android and IOS, software development.. ( VO cuts in)

VO: are you going to come and work with them after graduation
Me: I will come back and continue as a senior web developer.

Everything was going fine until the VO saw that my school is located in the same city where my sponsor lives��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️
That has been the red flag in my profile but I ve been praying for miracle. I didn't have the information on time.

VO: Who is sponsoring you
Me: My brother Dr xyz will be sponsoring me. ( VO already saw his address in my DS-160 I guess)

VO: where does ur brother live
Me: I now knew I'm in trouble. He lives in xyz, He is a US citizen.

That was where she lost interest I guessed. She typed for about 15 seconds and denied me. No further question.
��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️


Gurus in the house please what do I do now. Do I change school to another state? Pls I need advice

You will need a strong application next time that should be a top school far from Ohio. Best!

MelaninGemstone:
Hey guys, which school is the easiest school to gain admission for MSC

I’m planning on spring 2022

I’m looking for schools with very high approval rates 80-90%

And the ones that make fast admission decisions

Not the ones where I have to wait for months

Try Stanford or MIT... those schoools are pretty easy to gain admission

haywhy17:
Wait guy! Are you thinking of not adding it it before?
Those that got visa approval here do add o.. that's why they all got their visas approved. Just remember to put # in front of your username when you want to add to further boost your chances.

You and this your sarcasm ehn

Staring in disbelief at the letter in a green-colored paper, that was given to me after my visa was delayed at the Consular office in Abuja

V.O: I see you are going for bachelors degree in Computer science at Xavier University In New-Orleans, Louisiana.

Response: Yes, I am going for a bachelors degree program in Computer science at Xavier University.

V.O: When did you graduate from High school?
Response: I graduated from high School in 2017.

V.O: What have you been doing?
Response: I started a foundational diploma program In computer science at the Institute of Science and Technology to improve my skills and knowledge as this has always been my passion and interest. She Interrupted with another question....What program? I said a Diploma program.

V.O: Who is sponsoring your program.
Response: My uncle who is also my godfather will be sponsoring my education at Xavier University.

V.O What does he do?
Response: He is an established businessman and deals on importation of Automobiles, Car, and trucks of all kinds. He is also into Real estate development.

V.O What will you do when you return?
Response: I will return to start a cyber-security consultancy firm that will help companies create, plan and carry out measures to protect its system from being compromised by an attack. and Also...... She interrupted again...


My interview didn't last more than 2 minutes. I have provided my transcript for your perusal and corrections.
I feel bad because I didn't get the normal interview questions that most people usually get. I plan to apply again if I see available date.

Thanks all

Step by step for visa application, has been attended to in subsequent pages.

If I get you right your brother wants to fund your brother-in-law to sponsor you. I don't think that sounds right. Why can't your brother sponsor you directly? Brother is closest to you and easier to defend as to why he decides to sponsor you.

Preferable to use your brother.

Sorry for the denial. But at the bolded, your questions are similar to what people are majorly asked, she only inverted yours (what you were expecting to come later, came too early) - which is why when you're preparing for interview don't cram your answers, believe it's a conversation take time to understand the question and reply.
From this transcript you posted, the VO made up her mind when she asked you what have you been doing since graduation - sorry to say but you did not demonstrate to her much action terms and she needed clarity, asking what diploma. Come up with simpler understanding basic terms that reflect your"actions" use more adverbs when talking.Many of the time they already make their decision from how you answer the first question.

I should ask, did you have funding? Also Did you fidget alot while answering the question?

Then the funding part. Your sponsor seems to be involved in everything. Detail one thing he/she does and expand on it - prove to the VO your "godfather" can sponsor you. (btw, I'm still surprised you used godfather as a sponsor for a 4 year bachelor degree program).

Make necessary changes delay is never denial.

Missouri State University, Spring 2022, no GRE, no Test of English language for the candidates from Nigeria. All the best

Yes, I received a Full tuition scholarship from Xavier. I used my uncle as "my sponsor" and NOT my god-father. Yes, I did fidget a little at the concluding part, because I already knew where this would go, a denial. Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. OK, Thank you. I will make the necessary corrections.

Malone122:
has to be the passport you will use in the embassy

Thanks man. But what if the passport got lost? Could an affidavit or something be used?

I don't know if this might have been answered here but please what other way can I prove my travel history?

Sorry. You got the normal question but didn't prepare enough. There is a difference between written transcripts & mock interview. And dnt forget cyber- security is on the US technology alert list. Good-luck next time!

I feel bad because I didn't get the normal interview questions that most people usually get. I plan to apply again if I see available date.

I feel the highlighted areas might have influenced how the interview went.

1. I would've mentioned that I received a full tuition scholarship when asked who's sponsoring my program. Then go on and say the expenses would be covered by "uncle" and why that uncle is footing your expenses. E.g loss of parent (God forbid if not in your case) and how he has been devoted to taking care of you etc.

2. Come up with a concise plan on what you've been doing. You can mention you took remedial computer science classes that would help when you start college and learning programming/web development...

3. What you would do when you get back. You need some work on this.

Curious what age range you fall in. That might also have an influence. All the best in your next attempt and don't give up.

Please oo I need suggestions
Any affordable hotel close to the embassy at Abuja.
If I can get 2-3 or 4 self so I can view them before I book
Any suggestions
Biko �

Xcence Guest House by Emeka Anyaoku Street, Area 11, Garki is great. #500 to the Embassy via bolt. Close to the popular Ojuelegba restaurant if you don't want hotel food.
From personal experience, there's light 24/7.

Good morning guys, can I use the newspaper change of name publication as a prove of change of name at the embassy?

Thanks much will look into it

Hi House, pls answer these questions: 1) what's the full meaning of V O and WES?
2) I've not seen prospective students asking question about Harvard and Yale, is there any perceived reason? Thanks in anticipation.

People who go to Yale or Harvard don't come here to ask questions; they already know what to do (pun intended). Since you are asking questions here, are you sure you want to go to Yale or Havard?
As for VO or WES: one is Visa Officer the second is World Education Services. Next time you come across abbreviation you don't know type it on google, it ll help build your search skills.

Looks like you are in the incipient stage in US study VISA processing.

VO:VISA Officer

WES:World Education Service

Before I knew a lot about Havard & Yale I started with knowing about the University of New Haven and Eastern Illinois University. So I started from the safe to the ambitious & I will be going to an ambitious school: a top 45 in the US. Those two schools you mentioned are highly selective school so I believe if you are looking at them you prolly would have had a stellar profile: Top 1% GPA,GRE of 330+, TOEFL of 100+ ( in ideal cases) and with quality internships or work experience in respected companies in decent leadership positions. In other words you would have been working on your profile since you are a toddler.... lol
