Pls your advise is needed what do I do at this point

He can’t use it at the embassy in as much you don’t give him the whole information he needs at the embassy. There are some personal information about you that he doesn’t know about and the person using your i20 will be asked that question.

Good morning all. I got Admission for Spring 2023.

Please, if one applies for US Visa now, when is the interview date likely to be scheduled? I heard it takes time sometimes.

And between Abuja and Lagos, which is better?

Date search is one thing, the interview is another so you have to start the process now.

Go on google and search for schools and mostly centre your search on schools with funding.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by verminnel(f): 8:05am On Sep 18, 2022
Please what is COA,RA ND deficit? Thanks
Cyingfreeman:
1st Attempt
Visa Denied
Lagos
17th August 2022
MPH
Black American lady
COA-46k
RA-21k
Deficit-25k


VO: Why this School and course?

Me. Public Health basically talks about preventive medicine. It's easier to prevent illnesses than treat. As a medical doctor, I have managed cases where patients presented with complications and endstages of diseases which could easily be prevented. Diseases like hypertension, diabetes, Cancers could be prevented leading to less morbidty and mortality. Also, Nigeria has been plaqued with atleast 5 emerging and reemerging Infectious diseases like Ebola, Lassa.. with this degree, I'll be equipped with the skills and knowledge inwhich I'll use to mitigate the problems of public health in Nigeria especially when it comes to chronic diseases and infectious diseases.

I choose Charlotte because I'll be opportuned to work with and be mentored under a renowned professor of Public health, Prof... who's research interest is purely on chronic diseases and Infectious diseases and it's tandem with my line of interest.

VO: Who's covering your deficit?

Me: apart from my research assistantship which covers my welfare and part tuition, my dad Prof... who's a Prof of business management, university of ... for 25 years and also a public servant for over 35years... (cuts me short)..

VO: I'm sorry...



I felt really bad and downcasted. Was supposed to leave for my place of work the following day but decided to leave that same day out of frustration. On my way to my place of work, I contacted my professor who gave me the assistantship and told her of my predicament. She felt bad and told me that my RA Is still reserved for me. I also had to contact my department for readmission because they don't defer graduate admission. So I did that and I was readmitted in few days time.

I then purchased a new mrv and applied for EA and it got approved again, but this time Abuja. There were no favorable EA dates in Abuja.. so I decided to pick the best date (1st September) as there were no dates In October, November until December.

Mind you, I was yet to get my updated I-20. I was just working with faith. Few days to 1st of September, no I-20. My EA was valid for 1 week. I then checked and saw 8th of September available, I immediately went for it.

To cut the whole story short, I got my I-20 on the 7th of September by 8:30pm. Had to search for somewhere to print it out.

2nd attempt
Abuja
VO: Bald man
COA: 46k
GA: 26k
Deficit: 20k

VO: I can see you're going to UNCC..

Me: Yes, I'm going to UNCC for my MPH program with a concentration in Epidemiology.

VO: What do you currently do?

Me: I work as a medical doctor at Xxxx, one of the biggest private hospitals in Xxxx where I manage patients with chronic diseases and infectious diseases like hypertension, diabetes, HIV... I also manage common paediatric illnesses like respiratory tract illnesses, gastritis... I work in collaboration with the Bleep state government where I'm part of the surveillance team in charge of contact tracing of suspected cases of lassa fever and monkey pox, I perform medical outreach programs in rural areas of Bleep where I educate, counsel, screen the locals on chronic diseases and infectious diseases...

VO: What's your post study plan?

Me: I'll be returning back to Nigeria to assume the role of a Senior Medical Officer at my current place of work where I will employ the knowledge and skills gathered during my course of study to mitigate the problems of public health especially when it comes to decreasing the incidence and prevalence of chronic and ... (Vo cut me short)

Pointed at my deficit and asked..

VO: I can see you have a deficit under family funds. What does it mean?

Me: Aside my GA which covers more than 100 percent of my tuition, I also have a 50% paid study leave. The deficit will be covered by my parents, Prof and Dr. Mrs Bleep. They are successful university professors (thanks to Mr. Shannon for this)... as I was saying this, his hands were reaching for the white paper.

... they make a combined annual income of Bleep. My dad has been a professor for over 25 years..

VO then hands me the white paper. Only God knows what he said from then hence forth as long as he was keeping my passport with him.



I really thank God for all of this. The process wasn't an easy one. I had faith and believed God will do it. It can only be God. I kept on singing worshiping songs in my mind until I was called on for my interview.

I even saw a guy going over his handwritten transcript. I was surprised. One shouldn't be doing that at that time. All you should hope and pray for is calmness instead of going over your transcripts right there and then.

Thank God once again. Mr. KASH with the baritone voice, thanks brother. You started the drilling process. Chief Anonymous and my brother Jervis, your selflessness can't be over emphasized. You guys really did well. Nonso, Frank and Teresa.. thanks for the usual support. You guys were like my brothers in arms. Ebi, Victor, Mark.. I doff my hat.

Mr. Shannon70! You were very responsive to emails and also very encouraging. Thanks alot.

And to everyone who supported and encouraged me in this journey, God's favor and blessings are yours.

May the force be with you.

Transcript is the secondary school result , preferably last 4 years , so jss3 - ss3 , he has to go to his high school and request for it , after he’s gotten it , he scans and sends , make sure the transcript shows all his subjects and grades and make sure it’s official from the high school .
Many school will definitely need transcript for undergrad , most of these schools prefer it to waec , waec is one exam , a transcript will show how the students performed over the years .

Hello house,

My first degree was in 2006 and second degree was in 2014. I have been working since 2009 till date (Security Analyst in an IT firm). I gained admission just recently to study MSC Cyber Security in the US.....

Now, What are my chances with the VO having in mind the years i graduated?

Incase they ask, why the wait, what will be the best answer?

Thank you all...
