Please take advantage of the surge now. Buy a new MRV and send your documents to the surge email.

Lollla:
Hello everyone, please I have a question.
I applied for Lagos surge date and I got approved. I am trying to get into my visa appointment page all to no avail, it seems I can’t use the MRV receipt number to get in there. Do I just print the email that says that I have been scheduled for December 1st or do I still need the confirmation page which i can’t access right now. Thank you

please did you write anything along side the documents submitted or did you just attach the documents and gave a Subject title?

Bbodunjoh:
Hi,
I have applied for the emergency request twice and I have been denied. I don't know what I have been doing wrong. I uploaded all the necessary documents needed already

Take advantage of the surge now! Everyone!

VISA APPROVED. Lagos. May 6, 2021
Here is my transcript

School: Illinois State University

No funding whatsoever
COA: $33894

For those who didn't put their other names while applying while setting their visa application profile, there is no cause for alarm. I made the same mistake and I was allowed to proceed with my interview.
After the biometrics we proceed into the main hall for the interview proper.

V.O: Where are you going to?

ME: I'm going to Illinois State University for my Masters degree in Hydrogeology ( My I-20 says Geological and EarthSciences but my program is Hydrogeology
While asking me this question, dude was busy typing but I made sure I fixate my eyes on him.
V.O: Why this program? (trying to read my major in my I-20) I quickly told him that's my major but my concentration is hydrogeology.

ME: My life experience influenced my decision to study Hydrogeology I lost my dad when I was 9 to cholera (Na so VO stop typing and looked straight into my eyes, in my mind I was like I don catch you�) I continued, ever since then I've always wanted to have a groundwater treatment plant so as to make clean water accessible and affordable to every average Nigerian.
VO: How many schools did you I apply to?
ME: I applied to 3 schools namely: Illinois state university, Ashland University at Ohio and University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
VO: Why Illinois state University?
ME: There are three reasons for this.
Firstly, the research work of Dr Peterson impressed me, he just finish working on radon concentration in groundwater and I strongly believe working with him would help me address the issue of groundwater contaminant ( I asked him "Do you know what radon is all about? He simply nodded.)
VO: Is your sponsor gonna pay for all your expenses?

ME: Yes

V.O: How much ?
ME: I was like you no see am for my I-20 ni) I replied $33,800+ (At this point I was expecting him to ask for his bank statement but dude just moved on to the next question. All these happened while he was typing).

VO: What will this course do for you
ME: (Wa gbayi omo iya mi). I want to have my own groundwater treatment plant where I can partner with botling company, I'm looking at partnering with Nigerian breweries and Coca-cola Nigeria as a consultant to help purify their water from radioactive contaminants.
I also want to partner with NGOs like the Safe Nigeria Group to sensitize the public about the dangers associated with ingesting Radon with groundwater, right now that's one of the leading causes of lung cancer and kidney failure in Nigeria
He typed for like 30 secs and said the golden words. He asked me to go to room 8 that a colleague of him will address me.
Na this EducationUSA people.

*Tips*
-Be confident
*Don't cram your answers*, just have a mental outline of what you're gonna say.
Success to everyone!
