I recently interviewed for a GA position and I just got a mail from the department asking if I have a Visa interview scheduled. I'm still searching for Visa dates, but I'm worried that if I say no, I may lose my chances of being considered for the position.

Please help @Moshkom, @Chibertha, @UmmZayd

I'll advice you to say yes
Don't jeopardize your chances please

F1 Interview Transcript
First Attempt (Approved)
Abuja
June 2 2022
Teaching Assistantship with deficit of 5,800.

VO: Have you ever travelled out of Nigeria?
Me: I've not had a reason to.

VO: You're going to the University of Oklahoma for a Master's in Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology (That's what is on my I-20)
Me: I'm going for a Master's in Health Promotion specifically, under Health and Exercise Sciences. (I filled Health Promotion in my DS-160)

VO: Alright. What do you do in Nigeria at the moment?
Me: I'm presently a Research Assistant to two faculty members at the undergraduate institution I graduated from and I'm involved in activities including manuscript writing, literature reviews, data collection, data analysis and data entry. I also have one paper already published and two under review.

VO: What will you be doing after your Master's?
Me: Upon my return back to the country, I'd be picking up a Lecturing position in the University where I am presently a research assistant. The teaching assistantship I'd be holding during this program also provides the required training for it.

VO: Do you have/know anyone in the United States?
Me: No

VO: Everything looks good, I'd be approving your visa.
Me: Thank you very much.

VO: This paper will show you how to pick up your passport...

I really appreciate UmmZayd for always taking the time to answer all my questions. God bless you.

I couldn't sleep yesterday due to the tension but I'm glad it has all ended well. I'd try to be updating if I remember anything else.
I wish everyone the best of luck!

Denied
Lagos Consulate
VO-(The lady beside the one with white headset)
31/05/2022
COA - 39,908
Total funds available is 42,064
BREAKDOWN:
GA WAIVER - 20,064
On Campus employment - 10,000
Deficit - 9,500

V.O - What will an Msc in Information technology do for you ?
Me - It is my career goal to be a CIO sometime in future, having studied computer science and worked as a software dev for over 4 years, this degree will help me learn theoretical and hands on experience in other aspects such as IT management, Network security, Data Analytics, Data Management. *I'm not sure I said any thing extra here, I was really expecting her to ask me more questions*
V.O - Who is paying for the deficit ?
Me - I will be doing that with some personal funds that I have saved up. I will also be getting monthly stipend from my department
V.O - Yeeea, I can see that
V.O - How much do you earn ?
Me - About 500k monthly
Then she handed me the blue paper, and said thanks for coming.

She only asked me 3 questions, I don't know what the problem was, is it a problem to use personal funds ?

Your deficit is actually $19500 and you told her you were using savings and that means you have the money. She didn’t think that you really managed to save up $19,500 on your salary. You would’ve had a better chance if you had proof of the savings you planned to use. She was being sarcastic when she said yeea I can see that!

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Chilexeve: 8:05am On Jun 03, 2022
Please I need someone's opinion on this.

Five of my siblings are in the USA. One of them is presently an assistant professor in the school I'm going to for my MA. In fact, she lectures in the same department I'm going for and she's the graduate coordinator. I have funding (graduate assistantship). I am married with kids and I won't be going with them.

These are my concerns:

1. How to prove to the VO that I will return upon graduation, considering the fact that I have siblings who didn't return upon their graduations. They are working.

2. How to answer the questions about how I got to know the school, the course, and how I was able to get the funding. I suspect they will feel my sis helped me.

Please someone should help me.

Was it up to 60 days from the date of your resumption before you applied for Emergency date? That may be the reason it was denied.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by hardeyswaggz: 12:22pm On Jun 03, 2022
Oooohhh!!! I actually calculated 60 days from the date of interview.

Deficit: 22,260
Pos: 37,570

After pleasantries.
Vo: I will be starting with your biometrics.
Me: no problem.

Then vo pointing at my i20
Vo: I see you are going to Etsu for Mph,
Who is sponsoring you?( pointing at the name on my i20).
Me: my uncle he….
Vo cuts in
Vo: what does he do?
Me: his a businessman and owns a bleep pharmacy.
Vo: where do you work?
Me: I work at bleep pharmacy as sales manager
Vo: that means you work for your uncle.
Me: yes.
Vo: what will this degree do for you?
Me: it will enable me take up the role of health policy manger in my company upon return.
Vo: what’s the staff strength of the company.
Me: above 60 staff and the company has its presence in bleep state and bleep state but I work at the head office.
Vo: how did you come across the school?
Me: during my undergrads study my research exposed me to the work of prof bleep at etsu that’s how I got to know…. (Vo cuts in with a tuned voice)
Vo: how does this concern pharmacy?
(Immediately my mind got negative of the visa approval)
Me: my research interest circles around environmental health which is an actual problem within the community where my company is located, the knowledge I will acquire from the degree will help me identify the problem in the community and profer a possible way to address…
She didn’t allow me finish then
Sorry, you ain’t qualify for this category of visa.
Green paper. I was shocked though.


Please what’s the actual problem.
I presume it was my response with how I got to know the school that triggered the refusal.

Please I need clarification.

Thank you.
There is a disconnect between your intended program of Public health and your future career plan of coming back to work in a retail pharmacy chain. You would have responded with this degree will enable you to take up roles as a program coordinator or xyz position in xyz NGO which focus on tackling the challenges of this and that( eg substance abuse) which I have discovered to be prevalent among young people in my years of working in the pharmacy industry.
* The missing piece is the link between your pharmacy experience, Public health degree and your future career plan.
