Guys, I need help on this ASAP.
Please

You can only try but make such something significant changes before you re-appear if not, you can defer to next semester. For example, If you don't have funding now, try and secure one before your next interview.

Best of luck

Tulacious123:
Don't be offended for the many questions,I applied to same school , MBA but no update yet. Have you been admitted? Is the scholarship application separate from main application? Thanks.

I'm still in the process of applying o.Dont know much for now but before you applied, I hope you filled their "preapplication form"?.When you get a reply from them after a week or so after filling that form ,that is when you should know whether to go ahead with the main application for the admission or not

You request for the Scholarship by filling "pre application form".It is in their student portal when you click on the Course you intend doing.

Are you for masters,PhD or undergraduate?

please help6

Thanks everyone for your contributions for far. Got delayed last friday 14th

First attempt
Location: Abuja
Course: Masters International relations and affairs
VO: White lady seated in the last cubicle to the right.

VO: I see you are going to the New School for your Masters
Me: Yes, very correct

VO: Why are you studying international relations?
Me: To pursue my ambition and build up on my Bachelor's degree where I studied Political science in order to contribute in policy formation and to be an ambassador for my country

VO: What would you be do after your study?
Me; First I would be taking a higher role at my current work place as already assured by my director. He wrote my recommendation letter to the school

VO: Where do you work?
Me: XYZ company

VO: What do you do there?
Me: I described but not exact words with what I filled on my ds-160

VO: Who would be sponsoring you?
Me: My cousin would be my major sponsor while my dad would be supporting

VO: What does he do?
Me: I forgot then began to stutter trying to remember. Before I could remember she moved on to the next question. At a point I said f**K and I think she heard

VO: Have you traveled out of the country before?
Me: No, I haven't had a reason to do so.

VO: Hands over blue paper. I no even bother myself because me self no say I Bleep up.

Truthfully I no say I really Bleep up.
Some lessons learnt although the settings of the environment was absorbed. I wasn't expecting to have my interview while standing with many people behind me listening to all I was saying. I initially imagined it to be behind closed door and seated like a proper interview. That idea of standing to talk to someone seated behind a glass still doesn't make sense to me.

Any which way, we move to try again latter, congratulations to everyone that received their visa at this time

That stupid white lady denied me weeks ago and denied lots of people on that Jan 14th. About 4 of my friends had interview on the 14th and none got their visa

2 guys here, plus you making 3 were also denied by her on that same 14th.

The first question she asked them is “have you travelled out of Nigeria before, once you say No. You are getting denial

If you say yes, she would scan your passports for previous visas to confirm

Vo good morning

Me good morning ma (while I passed my documents)

Vo you are going to the university of Maine for masters degree in animal science

Me yes, with concentration in animal nutrition.


Vo what do you do?

Me I'm a research assistant at xoxo company where I research into improvement of livestock fed hay and forages.


Vo what will you be working on at the University of Maine?

Me (I stuttered and at this point I thought I had blown it.) I will be evaluating the effect of experimental formulation of experimental diet on livestock
(this was total rubbish from what I had in mind I had to just join something to make sound legit)


VO tell me about your thesis

Me (I already gathered some momentum here) I will be working on use of fungal enzymes to develop nutritive additives to improve profitability in livestock production.


VO Who is funding your education?

Me my brother mr kazeem , who is into oil and gas business. He also has real estate business and he currently oversee the family business.


Vo what is the family business
Me we are into agro allied business

Vo (while typing voraciously for about 10 seconds rose her head and asked "you work with the federal government?

Me yes ma.(thinking I already blew it.)


Vo I will be holding on to your international passport . (Then she said those words people claim to not hear )

I remember picking the word passport and i-20. The moment I noticed she took my passport and didn't use her left hand to pick the blue paper, my mind was screaming "it's a lie"


The atmosphere was really bad today Chelsea FC just full Abuja embassy today. I would say 1 out of every 20 that went in was given white paper. I had to pinch myself if I wasn't dreaming.

This visa thing is not even by how fluent you might think you are. I was shaky throughout. At a point I told myself "Ayo, tiẹ ta". At that point I forgot what my thesis is about...I saw guys that were very fluent and even confident... na Blue paper dem collect.


Who go dash me correct jacket wey fit hold -20⁰C. Maine is not for the weak.

Happy for you,,,congratulations

Exactly what I was thinking the when I get to interview room.How can someone stand with somany people listening while the interviewer is not even close to you.Shebi all these in the name of Corona ish.

I really need to know how Lagos setting is,maybe I transfer to Lagos embassy.I really don't fancy that Abuja setting,it made me so nervous ehn.

ifymm:
Goodday all,
I applied for visiting visa 2017 got denied
Reason
No travel history
2021 oct got denied again.even though I have been to Egypt,South,Singapore,uae
Reason
None.
Vo didn't spend 2secs with me

Hubby seeked asylum but not approved yet since 2017
So have tried 2 times no luck.

Now someone adviced us to tell my husband lawyer to write to usa embassy that the same thing that made him to seek asylum is disturbing the wife again,which the lawyer did.but since then no response from d embassy,I dont even know if they received it or not.

Now am planning to apply again through school believing God it will work cos have not gone thru school before.

Now why am confused is dat, dont even know weda they received d letter or not.

Secondly will it affect me if I apply for student visa.

Kindly advice.

Thanks.

This reeks of desperation. The VO can see through this.

Hello �,
Please guys help on this:
I applied to several colleges as undergraduate in the US, 2 of them(private) already admitted me, two rejected me, while I am still waiting for the rest (about 6), But, I heard that the VO most time reject visa for students going to study in a private university in the US, How true is this please ���.

The two universities are Transylvania and Chatham University, please, I will also like to know some other accepted undergraduates here.

And lastly, i would like to know if probably there is a government funding or any private scholarship for international students to study in the US
Thanks

alexius15:
Filling for the whole program is more appropriate. That's another way of assuring them you are financially safe for the entire program and not just for the first year... All the best!

thanks a lot

I think you should defer your admission.

Redfang:
I think you should defer your admission.

ok. thanks

Looks like Abuja is now a danger zone for visa interview, like travel history na the Koko for them now

It's the same thing. The first 2 or 3 standing on the line to be interviewed can hear your response if they are really listening.

Congratulations. The thing is, as long as you can defend whatever purpose you are going to the embassy for, you are good to go doesn't matter whether private or public universities. On scholarship or any form of funding, ask your school about it if there's any available. You can also check on other schools. What you actually want is ask if they have Scholarships for international students and how to be considered.

P.S: To boost your chances of scholarships with Undergraduate degree, you might want to submit a SAT score.

Best of luck

Nawa,,but I cared mostly about the distance between the VO and i,na that one gave me headache .No closeness atall,you will just be shouting.

Thank you very much

I swear,

I can bet the settings contributed to my getting denied, I am a very private person and I like to keep my things private especially in my plans. In fact, sharing my transcript is simply because I am reading other peoples own and it feels unfair not to share mine that I shared it.

My imagination and expectation was completely different from what I met there and I was put off balance the moment I stepped into the hall and saw the formation. I could hear other people been interview especially one guy that was just mentioning million of naira his father and his uncle earns working with Dangote but ended up been denied . When my turn came, it was like the whole world was on me, as much as I wanted to keep my voice down, the lady insisted I spoke louder so I had no choice but to shout so everyone could here

Try asking your school for an extension. Give them a good reason why. Then ask God for His favor and mercy. Nothing is impossible with Him.

If I should ask what exactly are you studying right now in university? Microbiology, aquacultures and fisheries, or computer science?

Olatemmanuel01:
I've started this process already before receiving admission, so I've spent a lot of money for me to say I want to have a change of plan which is to opt in for a master program, thereby having to forfeit all my initial payment and most importantly my plans.
I just received admission this year and i am studying aquacultures and fisheries. can i relate it to microbiology which i intend to go study in US?
Wont it look somehow to the consular seeing i am studying a different course here and I want to go study another course oversee?

MBA.Already admitted but no funding.

i don’t know if your third party can pay through credit card, but I do know he/she can pay through money order. That was the only possible means my third party could use to pay for mine.

Please is there a place you can keep your laptop and phone at the Abuja embassy. My interview is tomorrow
