Sir, this is thoughtful of you. Well, you could get a big broiler at that price. Or a brown leather pair of shoes; if it ain't leather, don't buy it - this is a tricky one, though!

Good Day,

I was meant to have my Visa Interview today but unfortunately, I was informed at the embassy this morning this morning that my confirmation number and the appointment number do not match. I was told to rebook the appointment with the same GTBank receipt number but after 48hours when it will be available. I need to be in school by the second week of August. Unfortunately, I cannot view the first available date, please what is the first available date as as this morning.

Thanks

Like I Promised. Here is the transcript. She didn't waste time at all she went straight to business. VO was probably under supervision because her superior was by her side monitoring the interview.
12 inches: Good morning
VO: Good morning
VO: so you're going to Iowa state university of science and technology (ISU)
12 inches: Yes
VO: For what course?
12 inches: for an MSc in transportation Engineering
VO: Why ISU?
12 inches: ISU is a well ranked school involved in transportation engineering in the U.S. The Midwest transportation Centre which carries out transportation engineering research for the Midwestern states is located at ISU and ISU plays a lead role in transportation Engineering research for the Midwestern states and I believe this will help me proffer solutions to transport issues and challenges in Nigeria. The experience and exposure with a faculty with strong industry participation will really help my career.
VO:How did hear of ISU?
12 inches:Online through times higher education.com, Google usnews.com etc
VO:How many schools did u apply to?
12 inches : 4 ( in reality 5... I wanted her to believe only one school denied me admission but it was 2). So I began to name the schools and she cuts me short.
VO:So how many gave u admission?
12 inches: 3 out of 4
VO: So out of the the 3 why did u pick ISU?
12 inches: *I was already getting frustrated because she had asked that question before* So I began again that the faculty had strong exposrue and experience in transportation engineering research. They carry out research for the * she now cuts me short*
VO: You keep mentioning experience and exposure......
12 inches: Frankly Engineering is about experience and exposure and working as a graduate assistant there will give me this and help my career. There is no point re-inventing the wheel. Most of the transportation issues we face in Nigeria have already been surmounted in the U.S and I bliv there is a lot to learn frm the lecturers at ISU in solving transportation issues in Lagos.
VO: * her supervisor now smiling* Why is that u picked a school in the Midwest and not *VO cuts herself short.
When did you graduate?
12 inches: 2011
VO: What have u been doing since then?
12 inches: I work as an engineer in so and so with so and so roles. I have also worked in so and so as a ****** engineer.
VO: Who will be paying your fees?
12 inches: I have a graduate assistantship,tuition scholarship and stipends that shud cover all my estimated expenses. My brother is also willing to provide for any additional expenditure that may arise during my course of study
VO: What does your broda do?
12 inches: He is a **** engineer in *****.
VO: Come and pick ur visa at this location I have circled
She didn't give me much details after abt where to pick it. She already knows me I'm a la cram la pour student. Whatever she asks I av prepared answers to.
12 inches: Thank you very much.

I want to Thank God, thank my parents my siblings,My fiancée, the NL family, walspring slimmy,etc you know yourself. All those who av made this possible. This thread has been so educative.
My advice to anyone with dreams to study in the u.s. Keep at it regardless. You will get discouragement from ur family and even your closest friends as regards ow costly and how impossible it is. But if it is God will for you to go, he will make a way and nobody can stop him.

Hmmmmm, haven't really been a regular follower of this thread but I must say itz really an educative thread...kudos to every1 involved...

Should start my own preparation soon...
GRE loading...1%

Mekurexx:
My own GRE too is loading 1%. I just cancelled my UK admission this week. targeting spring 2016

ferdimako:
Will this ever stop?

Spanishmario:
Yet to serve buh wanna take my GRE doing service year( 2015 batchB) and hoping to get ga nd maybe tuition scholarships since I would be sponsoring myself 80%...

Mekurexx:
I finished serving last year. Currently working and racking up experience. I'm looking at partial funding too but yet to decide on schools + a course. I regret not preparing for GRE during serve. I was posted to sokoto omo kunu just finish my brain

Spanishmario:
Wah school did you finish from nd course...

Mekurexx:
Covenant University. Microbiology

Mekurexx:
There is nothing wrong with his question. Not all schools require GRE/TOEFL and some offer GRE waivers. So his question was VALID. Why do you guys think anyone that ask for a No Gre/gmat school is lazy or looking for the short-cut
