Good day
I went for my student visa interview and I was asked 4 questions, I need your guide on what went wrong

Officer: How many school did you apply for?

Me: I applied for 3 schools

Officer: why did you choose the school you are going to?

Me: I chose the mentioned the school name because they are one of the best in US and the world and the curriculum for business administration and management is outstanding, together with the facilities, also they were fantastic at paying attention to details when I was going through my application process.

Officer: what do you do for work?

Me: I work as a business Analyst, “mentioned the organization name” she cut in

Officer: what year did you graduate?

Me: I graduated 2019

Officer: why then are you going for your masters now?

Me: After I graduated 2019, there was covid lockdown and my school wasn’t able to process my document until December 2021. Also ASUU strike made the school delay a year in processing my transcript that was November 2022

Officer: I’m sorry you are not qualified, this is the blue slip

Andracarles:
It is very difficult to get funding for computer science, especially as your first degree is not in CS, and you seem not to have any work experience. did you write gre? the thing is that, for someone who has gone twice, you need funding. you need it badly. my advice to you would be to write gre, look for funding in civil engineering, get your visa, when you reach the US, you can transfer sevis to any school you wish and study any course you wish. your chances of approval without funding are low. not impossible, but low. and if that happens, you are looking at interview number 4. not a good place to be.

Hello guys

I would like to know the true cost of WES

I googled and it said a WES course-by-course evaluation cost $163, and a document-by-document evaluation costs $102.

Does that make it total of $265 ? I’m applying to US school for PhD. Do I use the two evaluations or just one? For a standard US school? Or would it be my school that will say which one they want?

I don’t understand.

oluezekiel:
No...you only need one, the course-by-course evalution.
