Congrats profx4real and purplesummer.Nice job guys.

purplesummer:
I wanted to share my transcript when I'm more relaxed but...I can't wait

I thought I'd have issues with my DS 160/ appointment page bar codes. I filled out a ds 160 for abj consulate and used the confirmation number to book appointment for lagos. Lol. Anyway, I had it sorted out, ran to walspring and he allayed my fears. Told me everything is fine.

So, I was the first person to arrive the lagos consulate at 5:10am. I didn't enjoy the wait though. One of the security guys told me I look good and that if I could just add a smile to it...so I had it mind to smile even when I didn't feel like it

So after biometrics and all, we waited for the VOs to arrive. I was 3rd in line so I thought I'd be interviewed by the woman in window 3 but nah, God had better plans for me. I and the 1st 2 persons were interviewd at window 7. The chubby white guy.
He approved the 2 people before me. It was then my turn.

VO: so tell me about your programme
PS(PurpleSummer): oh, I'm going for my masters in law. I'd be concentrating on Environmental law.

VO: how did you get to know abt the school?
PS: they sent me a direct email

VO: (looks at me) why would they do that?
PS: (I smiled) they saw my profile on the Law school admission council website so they contacted me and encouraged me to apply

VO: what courses would you be taking in your first semester
PS: I'd be taking courses on Energy Policy and Climate Change, Environmental Advocacy, Natural Resources Law, Toxic Tort (I spelt T-O-R-T for him so he won't think I mean thought. Lol. Vo nodded like...I know it's tort) and International Environmental Law.

VO: what was your undergraduate on?
PS: law

VO: When did you graduate?
PS: 2011

VO: what have you been doing since then?
PS: I attended the nigerian law school for one year, did my NYSC and since then I've been in active legal practice

VO: have you been called to bar?
PS: yes

When?
PS: 2012.

VO: (brings out white paper) I see you chose to collect your passport in portharcourt, (circles an address, handed me both paper, i-20 and sevis fee receipt) you'll need these at the point of entry...blah blah, I said thanks, he thanked me too.
PS: walks out like a boss.

Ps: School is University of Maryland, Baltimore.

I want to thank every single person on this thread, I dedicate this success to you all. A huge dosage of the thanks goes to walspring, Holudarey01, don4ye, bigfrancis21 (I gave him one helluva disturbance), OjahP, mystiqueme (Your words were both vissionary and prophetic) mekurexx, baodium et al. God bless you all!

Pls is there anyone going for visa interview with an f2 dependent visa? I have 2kids, one is a citizen and the 2nd is not. So the I-20 will be going with me for the interview. Pls is it advisable to also go with my other son that is a citizen, or leave him behind since I will still indicate him while filling my ds form. What are the chances of getting the visa. Pls house, I will really appreciate your inputs.

Yes, you can take him along.

Your chances is as bright as ever but please do not sound desperate.

Hi. I got admitted to UTA, MPA too. I got a conditional admit though, because of my GRE. So take a clue from me, study hard for your GRE. 300-310 and your in! You will even be qualified to apply for GA/TA. It's a nice dept from what I have heard. I particularly like the Graduate advisor, she has helped me alot. Goodluck.

Can UTAlington admit wit GRE score as low as 301?

My score was lower than 301.Trust me. But my GPA was good. And I made sure my SOP n LOR we're really good. Plus I have about 6 years work experience. So that made up I guess. But that is not to say you should not try to make up to a higher GRE.

If truly it's in August and you don't wanna renew it, then you will be denied entry to travel.

Renew your passport now.
