Hello, all the platforms I have been checking I don't see Lufthansa flights. Pls which site did you use.
Thanks

owagbeba:


How did the administrative review go? Did they issue a visa?

Tooksie16:


Sorry about this experience. I think you being unemployed raised the first red flag for the VO coupled with your age.
I think you should apply for a PhD as the chances of full funding are higher and thus the chances of denial due to financial reasons are reduced/eliminated

BARISTAMandela:


Update using the new DS 160 code with that your appointment should automatically update to the new barcode. Best wishes!

Femotech123:
Quick one please. Can I update my ds160 and update my cgi profile a day to my interview? Or how many days can I update it before interview

GOD IS THE GREATEST

VO: I see you are going to pursue a masters program in Computer science at bleep university
Me: Yes, that’s correct
Vo: What do you do for a living
Me: I work as an inventory data analyst at bleep company where i develop performance metrics and establish ad-hoc reporting to enhance department efficiency.
Vo: Alright, Why this university ?
Me: I chose this university because it offers students the opportunity to engage and participate in capstone projects of the school which students can leverage as graduate experience. Also, during an email conversation with Dr Bleep, the Graduate Program director, i was informed bleep university offers graduate internship programs just within the two years course of studies, the school has a strong collaboration with the industry which i believe would help me harness the advanced skills and theoretical knowledge of what is taught in class for practical applications in real life scenarios.
Vo: what is your plan after completing your program?
Me: I’ll be coming back to Nigeria to seek reabsorption in my present organization as they have an understanding with me and has given me a 2 years study leave, so i plan on returning to them with the skills i have acquired through this course to help develop innovative and cutting edge solutions that address challenges we face in the company…
Vo: Cuts in, who is sponsoring you?
Me: I have a graduate assistantship and will be sponsored by Bleep business, owned by my elder brother.
Vo: what does he do?
Me: He is an established business man who is into large scale farming in the south western part of the country, he also owns some landed properties and apartments in Bleep state some of which he rents out for residential and commercial purposes.
Vo: types for long.. I will be approving your visa. Bla bla bla
Me: (With a big smile). Thank you very much.

Key Points to Note: The interview lasted for 3 mins
1. Please pray and pray and pray. Honestly I would say God favored me during this interview process, because the Vo which was a white female actually denied two applicants, and i was trying to escape her so I can get interviewed by the white male but as God would have it, we were shifted and i was called by the female VO and God did his work
2. Please prepare and study and speak to an object or something you can focus on while answering your questions during your practice, this really helped me cos i have little difficulties with staring at people in the eyes while talking. I stared at her throughout the whole interview
3. Please be honest and speak the truth with what correlates in your ds-160 form.
4. Now, i feel i have to share this last one with y’all cos I know someone might need it in advance. If you are going to be using your sponsor’s business account for getting your I-20, please have your school make this known on your I-20 , it was just Yesterday that it got dawned on me that my I-20 was showing family funds instead of company funds as sponsor on my I-20, whereas I already filled my sponsor’s business name on my ds-160. Thankfully to God, my school changed the “family funds” to “company funds” on my I-20 and even indicated my sponsor’ business name and his personal name which is my elder brother on the remarks section. Trust me, this really matters if you are going to be using your sponsor’s company statement of account. Everything as to match with your ds-160. Even thankfully for me, I wasn’t asked for my brother’s company statement of account.
5. Thanks to everyone who has posted their transcripts, I really took plenty cues from them cos honestly it helped me prepare well, Good-luck to everyone waiting for their interview. Just be confident and PRAYYYYYYY.

kenwizy:
Hello everyone..

Gurus on this platform should please assist..

My interview is very close and i need a mock interview..

Secondly, do I need to show the VO Any doc to proove I would be coming back to my work place for a higher post and career advancement.?.

Your swift responses would be highly appreciated.

Vavavoom2021:

To secure admission, you should be ready to do the work. Google is your best friend. Google up schools offering your course & go through them one after the other to see if you meet the requirements. You can’t expect people to do everything for you.

Vahn:
On my i20, my course of study which is finance is not stated on it, instead they wrote Program : management science 1, please do you think i should write to the school concerning that?

Chyjoey:


Don't waste your energy on the man. Lazy people will always find people to blame for their problems.

Childofthemosth:
Can someone respond to this please?

If the reschedule option is still showing on your page you look out for early spring interview date and reschedule i.e if you are deferring..
If there is no reschedule and they dont approve your EA that means you have to pay another mrv fee..

Childofthemosth:
Can someone respond to this please?

Krauseingrid:
Finally I got my US F1 visa, the tuition fee is much and right now, I feel like the visa is a burden to me. Now I do understand that all problem are precarious, the solution to one brings us face to face with another.
To all who are yet to get their visa, good luck. Make sure say your financial means is well taken care of.

Janet200:


How US visa take turn to burden, is either you use it or leave it. At first you should have your plan A and B before going tru all the stress of getting the visa. Even with full funding, you still have to hold some money till stipend starts coming.

Krauseingrid:
No funding, tuition fee 23k+

Approvalll:
Visa approved Abuja embassy if you give up Na you Bleep up transcript coming soon thank you Jesus

Janet200:

Find out from students there if there is a possibility of funding when you get there, if yes resume early hustle funding. Another option is enrolling in a cheap community college and signing up for their payment plan. Even with all these, you still gat hold small money for hand. Don’t just give up.

Krauseingrid:
School is resuming in the 23rd of August, falling out of status is never an option. The struggle continues.

Janet200:


Defer to spring, use the opportunity hustle money too. Goodluck
