I will advise you do Wes evaluation (compulsory) and try writing GRE if possible. There are schools accepting HND certificate in US, most times they call it degree equivalent.
not all school accept or request for WES evaluation. Some school do not also need GRE.

I got my visa today at abuja. Here is my transcript:

Firstly I want to thank God for granting me success in this journey, It can only be Him cos the ammount of fear I had based on the fact that I had no funding and COA was on the highside. Omo my advice is do whatever you wan do o, but put God first.
I also wanna thank the creators of this Group cos the knowledge I gain from here Omo. But all in all I want to thank @⁨𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡.⁩ for the countless mocks and corrections he did for me @⁨Moshkom⁩ for link ing me to @⁨Waju🌱.⁩ my Ever ready VO who run me mock session even at midnight or anytime I message am. Thank you again @⁨Waju🌱.⁩ @sheila my second VO anytime I dey play PUBG mobile I go dey hear " jona why this course" thank you so much Sheila. Thank you @Jerimiah I no fall your hand. Thanks for the mocks
@⁨~Xavier 💯⁩ @⁨~E Don Soft!!!!!!⁩ @⁨~Zuko✰⁩ @⁨Ted .⁩ thank you all
Small story : Omo i witnessed denial plenty, I saw my guys get denied right in front of me, But I wasnt nervous for some reason I was smiling all through and making jokes with my guys. One guy was asked a question He started talking something them no ask am😭. One Guy in the waiting area, during passport checks, that woman asked him I see you been to Ghana so what year did you go, He said something wrong she disagreed with him then she asked him again how long did you stay in ghana he said 1day(long story short, she seized his old passport and said she was going to flag it )

Interview proper:
SCHOOL : EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY
COURSE :Bsc In Computer and Information Science.
COA: 45,000$
*No Funding*
* VO : BALD MAN IN ABUJA*
* First Attempt*

V.O - Have you travelled outside Nigeria before?

ME- No

V.O-When did you finish your highschool?

ME- In 2019 sir


V.O- What do you do here in Nigeria

ME- Im currently interning as a junior software developer at Microsoft Nigeria, where my roles includes me writing basic codes, assisting the senior software developers in their day to day tasks and also Testing out new softwares.

V.O - So you are working at Microsoft?

ME - No, Im volunteering as an intern at Microsoft Nigeria.


V.O-Who will be paying for your education?

ME - My father has demonstrated his ability to pay for my studies before my i-20 was issued. He is the Chief Medical Director at Reddington hospital in Lagos, as well as a private Medical Consultant to several hospitals around Lagos. Asides from that , He has set aside a savings account which he intends to fund my education with.


V.O- What will you be doing after your program

ME- I will be returning back to Nigeria for my mandatory NYSC program, Afterwhich I will be applying for a job role as a software developer at the Ministry of Science and Technology in Nigeria where I will be working with government agencies to create software solutions that can enhance citizen engagement. (he nodded)

* Small talk him and I had*

So have you paid your sevis fee? (na here I know e don soft)
Yes and he asked how I did, I said I used western Union and he said ohh Nice that it was fast cos I paid it in yesterday and its always slow going from Nigeria to there. and laughed.

Next thing I heard was Everything Looks good, I will be approving your visa this white paper will guide you .... I thanked him and left as I came out of the consular office, I showed everyone that were still in the waiting area my white paper" I don get am" . They laughed and I ran out🤭🤭🤭

Observations ; He likes straight to the point answer and Eye contact, especially when you talking of ur sponsor, make sure you look him directly cos thats when he will pause what he is doing to look at you and judge from there. Also, just try to be calm even if everywhere blue , distract yourself and lastly, pray its important.

Congratulations dear🎉,..am really happy for you 💃.

Hello everyone, I have a small issue with my form I-20
I have scheduled my appointment before I realized a letter is missing from my middle name it's written as "Abdulsamd" instead of "Abdulsamad"
I can't request a new one my appointment is in 4days.
Do y'all think I might be denied because of this?

Send an email to your school asking them to correct it and send a new i20. print out the email with your international advisor and take it with you to the embasssy. if the VO asks tell him you already contacted your school to make the correction and you have proof of that conversation.

You will not be denied because of that as far as you show a proof of correcting it that's if they notice o!

Firstly , you finished highschool 3yrs ago, what have you been doing? what did u fill on ur ds160 as ur current employment? then ur post graduate plans, no clear goal of what u want to do w the intended degree. message me thru nairaland. I was approved on that day same27th, let me guide you all for FREE. since you intend to reapply again.


I think we saw you in front of us lol, you might have met my mum and sis outside as she was telling ppl congratulations when they came out.

ds160 shows I went for computer training from 6 months after graduation in 2021 and then I went for make up class but i didn't add that since it won't help me. I'll reach out and yeah my goals after graduation doesn't look grandiose enough

Ok house correct me on this one, First I think you can pick any date first then go into your profile and do the emergency if this is your first time, let others give you advice too because i'm not very sure. Do not input any false info because they'll look at your i20. I don't think school can give you an extension but i'm not sure too. When is class starting versus program start date ?
