Hello Elders in the house, I have been trying to try to see if can look for masters or postgraduate diploma admissions into any US school but the whole process seem too confusing, please anybody that can help with a link for admission to US schools and a summary of the processes and please what are the chances of a 2012 2-2 graduate getting admitted in the US. Responses shall be appreciated.


I am aware that this thread contains so many pieces of information but it would be of great help if some of the most important information can be extracted out and possibly pinned at the beginning of the thread, just a suggestion.


I also need this sir. In case you find any help or you have found, please kindly lead me to it. Thank you!

3rd attempt.

*Visa Interview Transcript:*
*Location: Abuja*
*School: University of New Hampshire*
*COA: 72k*
*GA: 58k*
*Deficit: 14k*
*Attempt: (3rd attempt )*
*Status* *VISA APPROVED*

V.O: Good morning

Me: Good morning, how are you today?

VO: Didn’t answer

Pass me your I20
Me: Pls have it. (Placed my hands for biometric)

V.O: You’re going to the University of New Hampshire to study business statistics

Me: I corrected her that it’s business analytics.

V.O: I can see you have an assistantship.

Me: Yes

V.O: What do you currently do?

Me: I work as the business intelligence lead at ***, where I collect sales and customer data and use that to create marketing strategy, better target our customers and improve business processes.

V. O: What are you going to do when you return from this program?

Me: I will return and take up the position of Director if Analytics. I already have a written commitment from my organization.

V.O: You mean ****?

Me: Yes ****

V.O: longest 90 seconds if my life typing and clicking. Then the white paper.



*Personal tip:*
If you’ve been refused before, use the comment box to your advantage. I talked about why I think I was refused (financial plan), then explain what has changed like gre, GA and how I will be working with an eccentric professor. So I think this is why I wasn’t asked much questions, cos I already answered some of them with that explanation. She was focused and impressed with the assistantship and she didn’t even asked about anything pertaining to financials. Plus I wore a suit (if you say you will come back to a management position, please dress like a manager).

Bonus points: If you haven’t, please watch Suit or Billions before interview, so you can start feeling like Harvey in front of the VO��


Thanks to everyone on this group. Fairheart, you’re just a blessing. My brother Kelvin messaged me in the midnight and told me he said a prayer for me, then I knew I will get it. I appreciate everyone.

Hello everyone

I got approved yesterday. However, on tracking the status of my application, I saw that it’s under administrative processing. Who else that was approved yesterday is experiencing this?

Main problem is that my program started on 16th August, but I was given an extension for 30th. With this development, I might not be in US by that time, even though I already booked a flight for Thursday. I sent the embassy a mail, still waiting for a response.

Please advise.

Congratulations. Very brief interview! Please I need your agents contact. I have sent you a message.
Saintkollyjoe:
Visa approved at Abuja embassy this morning.
Transcripts.
I have been blessed by the members of this forum and I thank everyone that have shared their Transcripts or have answered questions here. I have been a silent participant in the forum. In April 2021, I got admission with full funding to University of Wyoming to do M.A history.
Fast forward to June 29 when my i-20 arrived, tye available dates for interview were in 2022. I asked for emergency appointment but when it was not forthcoming, I engaged an agent to find dates with the reschedule appointment tool for me and I got August 20 appointment. My resumption nis august 18 on my i-20. It was on this forum that I learnt that I can get a revised i-20. In short my revised i-20 reached my email in the midnight of August 20.
Now I must print but my appointment is 7.30 am. I got to the Abuja embassy before 6am. Omo entrepreneurial NIgerians are already on ground! Printing was expensive but I was happy to pay. They also scammed me by saying that my DS 160 submission confirmation read Lagos instead of Abuja and so I must change it to Lagos otherwise they will send me back. I said no but being my first time , I ended up paying. The gate hustlers also condemned my passport photo graph. Anyway Sha I snapped another one. In all I was milked of 22k naira.
I joined the queue at 7.15am. I have read all transcripts here and I was prepared with responses. Someone also coached me the day before interview. I have with me two company certificates, landed property, marriage certificate and many rehearsed speeches on why I will return to Nigeria.
I entered the interview and it was then I knew that my Lagos information for DS 160 is to be transferred to Abuja and I must wait Another 1 hour. It was then I knew that gate hustlers don scam me. While I wait only two approvals were granted and about six denials. At that moment, like a person given life imprisonment sentence, I started imagining how beautiful life under NIgeria and Buhari can be if one accept your fate.
Then I was called to enter again for interview.
V.o good morning
Me: good morning ma'am.
V.o I can see you are going to the University of Wyoming
Me: that's correct.
V.o: what do you do here in Nigeria?
Me: I'm a teacher and I teach History. ( In the cubicle there was a male white guy standing near the white female interviewer observing the computer screen. The white guy nodded at my response). She typed.
V.o: said something I could not pick. And I told her that please come again. She Held up a slip on which 'thesis was written'.
Me: yes my masters is thesis masters.
V.o: no, I mean what is your proposed thesis topic?
Me: oh, I shall working on prostitution during the colonial period of Nigeria

V.o : oh colonial prostitution.
Me: yes, that's correct.
V.o what will you be using this degree to do.
Me: I shall be coming back to teach History at the University of Ibadan.
V.o: teach at University of Ibadan?
Me: yes, I've been promised a position there.( The white guy beside her nodded at this)
V.o: I shall be approving your visa....
Me: I became deaf.to other things she was saying but I picked transit and pick up. I was given a white paper and she bid me best of luck.
My interview was less than a minute. Please prayer works! I prayed. My pastor prayed. While at the interview my mum, my dad, my wife, my mother in law and an aunt, my children were praying for me. This is the first time in my life that things that is supposed to be difficult became absolutely easy!

Good afternoon great people.

I am a fresher, and I am seeking information about studying in USA. I was told it does take long to secure study visa(like 2 years or more), and I need to write GRE exam as well.

I have heard of a lady who went via study Visa, but never experienced the above listed criteria.

Please great people, I have heard of people's testimony about how NAIRALAND helped their lives

Please, what and what does it takes to APPLY for U.S study Visa?

Good Evening All,

I was at the embassy on the 22 of July for an F1 Visa (Masters's) but was denied; I requested for emergency interview date and got an update I-20 from school with a deadline date of 25 August to register for Fall 2021 courses and have a visa. My request was granted at the embassy. The new date given is between Sept 02-24 while my resumption is Aug 25(tomorrow). Since the deadline date is between Sept 02-24, Do I need to get another updated I-20? Does this mean I have to defer my admission to spring since my deadline is tomorrow or I can still go with this documents to embassy got visa and change my I20 to Spring after gotten visa?

Please treat urgent!!!
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Alimi1(m): 5:40pm On Aug 24, 2021
No offence.... But new Comer too should either start from page 1 or go to Google to get the basics as you don't expect anyone to tell you the ABC.... There are some basics you should research yourself... Pursing grad studies requires adequate research even if you're fed with the needed information. Again... No offense. We move.
