Good day house... My Visa was APPROVED today,6.30am @ Window 8. God favoured me after my denial on 8th December 2014.... As i stood in front of the queue, I shivered when I sighted the lady who denied me then (she was in window 9 and still had that hard look). I silently prayed that she should be busy till I get interviewed someone ellse.
HERE IS MY TRANSCRIPT...(not in perfect order pls, forgive me)

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good morning

VO: Please pass me your application documents and put your right four fingers on the scanner.
Me: Passed the docs and scanned.
VO: So why are you going to the US?
Me: For my masters degree program in Indiana University of Pennsylvania
VO: Emmm... You are going for Occupational Safety and Health( reading from my I20), who will be sponsoring your studies?
Me: My dad, my father
VO: what does he do?
Me: I told him where he works and also other businesses
VO: typingggggggg...Do you have anyone in the US?
Me: No I do not have any immediate family in the US.
VO: but do you have any distant relative, cousin or uncle?
Me: yes I do ( I guess he was looking at my DS160)
VO: Where does he stay?
Me: Alabama
VO: Why did you choose this school?
Me: Out of the schools I applied to, IUP is the most affordable ....He intercepted me(I had 2 oda points to give though)
VO: oh tell me which other schools you applied to
Me: Murray State Uni and Uni of Wisconsin, whitewater. (He nods his head)... In my mind I was like , do anything you want but don't return my passport to me)..
VO: when did you finish your undergraduate program
Me: University of Lagos
VO: what year?
Me: 2011
VO: So where do you work now?
Me: Told him where I work and what we do (project management ... Couldn't mention Consulting sef)
VO: pushes my I20 to me... You will be needing this at the port of entry. Pls go pick your passport on Friday. Do have a nice day
Me: Thank you sir( I actually wanted to scream)

He didn't ask for any accompanying document. I believe this was by the grace and favour from God. However, I plead that people should rehearse their responses well cos some applicants before me were stuttering while responding. I thank the whole house and I wish everyone else the best as they go for their interviews. Its our month of GOODNEWS.

DARKLIGHT:
Thanks, boss! But the bolded part is scaring. So MMR and Meningitis shots are that expensive?

slimmy05:
do you need those useless shots

Stewee:
I was shocked too...
You should see the look on ma face when she gave me the prices.

General advise, anything you can do in Nigeria before you come, please do it.

slimmy05:
you are likely to tear positive for tuberculosis though if you go through the mouteaus. You've already had the minigities shot as kid. Get a doctor to sign those forms for you. Africans due to our skin usually test positive to tuberculosis except you do the blood test. If you're still bent on taking those shots then go to LUTH.

olumix365:
thank you very much for your advise, please i will like to know if age is a barer in applying for student visa, and i will like to know if national examination is accepted (neco)

Stewee:
Some schools require you take them... You're usually issued some certificate(signed and stamped) for proof.

With all theses nonsense diseases flying around, you just never know.

Ok, boss. But Jakeharris and Stewee, when we were babies didn't our moms take us to the hospitals to those vaccines against MMR and Meningitis? Why I'm asking is because I'm planning on skipping the shots. What do you guys think?

DARKLIGHT:
Yea, Biikeys. The school sent me the health care form along with the admission package.

bartino:
hello house I see many approved visas,I tap into the success in Jesus name,Amen. I have my I20, ds160 confirmation, sevis fee payment, soa,gre score card,passport, gtb receipt, appointment letter all ready. please when vo say pass me documents what should i pass and what colour is the background of the 5cmx5cm passport? should I staple it to the ds160 confirmation page or it be done at the embassy thanks house anticipating directions from the gurus.

amanze15:
go embassy they go do am for U for any amount there's love in sharing

Stewee:
Well I can't say what your mom did or didn't do
But that's usually the trend...

Find out if you know anyone in your school whether they take things like that serios before you decide whether to skip or not.

slimmy05:
wetin be MMR, Oga as a kid you would definitively get minigities, mumps and rubella is not our thing. At least you've heard polio and minigities shot we take as babies.

It's just that we really can't find this documentation in most cases. There is no harm taking it though if you want. But brother you don't need it jor.

slimmy05:
call the embassy and they would help you

slimmy05:
House,

Please, a friend messaged me that he has forgotten his login details for the appointment booking and also doesn't remember the password to the email. How can he get his login details? walspring, profojah

profdot:
please guys help me out. The SOA my sponsor got for me from Ecobank is not on bank letter-head. all the pages is on A4 paper with bank stamp and signature. I told my sponsor to get a a new SOA from the bank with their letter head but the bank insist that they don't usually issue their SOS with letter head. that the bank stamp and signature is enough. Please what do I do?

olumix365:

Let him click on the forget password tab, a generic password will be sent to his mail which he'll use to change his password to a new one.
