Here is my transcript :
VO: Good Morning
Me: Good morning to you too
VO: How did you get to know about the school
Me: a senior colleague at my work place told me about it, and I went to research on it.
VO: Where do you work?
Me: I told him
VO: what are my duties?
Me: I told him... But fear catch me to say I started to stuttering, but later picked up.
VO: did you take any test?
Me: I told him No
VO: Who is your sponsor
Me: I told him it's my dad.
VO: then he started typing....... After that he told everything is in order. Brought out the white paper and handed to me and retained my passport.

I give all glory to God for this success. Thanks to all Nairalanders. I used the previous transcript of people here to develop my own. God is faithful!

Fizzile--

I would suggest you make use of igbiboi's advise - the guy apparently knows what he is saying.

See, Technology Management is more like an MBA for technical people. It has several branches such as project management, statistics, supply change etc. Simply, it's a form of interdisciplinary program and I strongly suggest that you consider it. It is possible to be working on a masters degree in Technology Management with a research interest in environmental science. It is doable.

Please does IERF accept transcript from every Nigerian university. I couldn't find a list of Nigerian universities on their website...

I bless God the most and also my appreciation goes to everyone on this forum.
My visa was approved on Monday.

Will be posting the transcript shortly

She kon type for like 3 minutes then said the magic words and gave me my i20 and my pick up paper.
Its God cos no document was asked.

Congrat. Will send u PM

Walspring:


At bold.. I guess you mean 20/06/2016 because we just entered July which is the 7th month..

If it was paid via western union within hours it will reflect on fmjfee website but 2 days on the embassy system

But if it's money order or check it will take 3-5 days to get delivered to sevis office and additional 3-5 days for the payment to clear from bank and 2-3 days for it to reflect on the embassy system but immediate they confirmed check cleared from bank it will reflect on fmjfee site..

So ask who make the payment for you which means did (s)he used to make the payment for you..

*Sorry i meant 20/06/16

The payment was made via money order

Those day ranges u listed are working days right?

OluDare01:
Calfavour, I see you.
I'm on the queue this month.
Wish me luck

OluDare01, I wish you THE BEST. ... just go fly and come back.
Your case is settled, just believe in GOD.
We are praying for you.
PEACE

Goodmorning House. My visa was granted this morning . 7.30am Abuja. And that of my son's F2.I was interviewed by the lady in window 7. She had denied everybody that went to her before I was granted. So it went like this....

VO: Passports and and I-20( she looks at her system then turns to me)

VO: Why did you stay 4 months in your last visit?

Me :I went to give birth to my 2nd child.

VO: did you inform immigration about your plans? (gave me a stern look)

Me: Yes I did. I landed at Chicago and told them specifically what I was there to do. ( plus my tummy was huge. No amount of jacket for hide am).

VO: Can I see he's birth certificate?(gave her)

VO: but it's written Elpaso,why did you say Chicago?

Me: you asked about immigration. Not place of birth.
Chicago was my Poe .

Vo: Can I see your receipts? Gave her. Na so she see one discount talk say na charity o. Hmmm. I defended it with everything within me. Told her i don't know about charity, but i was told self pay patients get an authomatic discount.Regardless of whether you have the full amount. (She seemed satisfied).
VO: so which schools did you apply to?

Me: Brandeis university, Temple ,TAMU and UTA
VO: (she seemed impressed with the schools) and you
got into all these schools?
Me: No. Got a rejection from TAMU
VO : So why UTA

Me: Amongst the schools I got admitted to,UTA is the most affordable. It met my budget. Additionally, the Public Administration program in UTA has my area of interest as a specialization, which is Economic Development and Sustainable Management.
VO: What will you do after your Program?

VO : I will come back to work in the public sector,especially the department of public development mgt within the CBN or the Ministry of women affairs and Social Development.

VO: (gives me an awkward look) So is that were you work now?

ME: No. I work with a commercial Bank. But my dream is to work with the CBN.

VO: who is paying?

ME: MY HUSBAND. He's a legal practitioner,and a .......with the .........And also the MD of ..........

VO: So who looks after the kids while your in
school,since your husband will be here?

ME: MY mother inlaw has a visa, my mum will be coming to get hers. So they will take turns to come and spend time with us.
VO: (nods her head in agreement) Oh that's a very good plan.
VO: do you have family in Arlignton?
ME: No but I have in Elpaso.
VO: Ok I will be granting your visas.

At that point I wasn't even listening to other things she
kept saying. Only heard something about keep your hospital receipts for immigration.
The truth is this, I'm really bold when I talk. But, I wasn't at my best.Articulate And confident, yes! But I could hear the nervousness in my voice. Plus my 3 year old son kept distracting me. I used the times she kept typing to put myself together and gather momentum.

I posted this transcript basically for all the mamas planning to go study abroad. I was almost discouraged by some people that told me it would be difficult for me to get it, because I will need to show huge sums, and my hubby won't be regarded as a strong tie in Nigeria. I wasn't even asked to show statements, I didn't do well in my GRE so I was glad she didn't ask. But my TOEFL was fine. Guys, preparation is key. Not craming. Just let it flow naturally. Goodluck to those waiting for their interviews.

Pls Did u pay SEVIS fee for ur son on F2?

[quote author=Walspring post=47102045]

Nice school but I think you will be asked to pay below $300 for shipping fee and housing deposit before your i20 will be send to you if I am not wrong [/school..


Thanks ,have been admitted but they havnt tell me bout housing deposits before I get my i 20.. That's minor though .. Just wanna be sure it a nice school. Thanks

QueenID:

I'm not even seeing direct flights to Montana... Somebody please help!!!

Thanks in advance

Congrats on your visa ..........But how u "won take" find direct flight to Montana
how na...lol. Its not a popular route from Africa .
You will have to get a flight which might not even be direct to the big cities like Newyork and Chicago and then take a local flight to Montana the city which is closest to your school........Montana is a state, ur search should be the city not the state . Except if you mean Montana in West Virginia. Clarify so you dont book to the wrong place
Factor that the local flight dont include luggage so you pay an extra cost for your checked bags on the local flight .

Visa approved today in Abuja 7:30am appointment
#window 6#
Meanwhile it's the closest window to the waiting queue and the vo has only approved 2 out of about 10. Na em everyone come dey fear that window.....one foolish thought in me wanted to start praying against going to window 6. I rebuked it and said even if she denies all before me she must approve mine cos my passport no fit follow me leave.

My transcript

Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning ma
Vo: What do you do presently?
Me: I just completed my compulsory one-year national service in April this year.
Vo: Which other schools did you apply to?
Me: Texas A & M; kaust and IPS ( in uniport here in Nigeria)
Vo: How did you hear about the U.S schools?
Me: My UG course advicer, Prof **** told me about them. Specifically, he graduated from ***uni with concentration in fluid mechanics and dynamics which happens to be my area of interest.
Vo: What did you study in your UG?
Me: Petroleum engr.
Vo: Why MEE for your Msc?
Me: During my UG i was fascinated by the mechanics of fluid flow and heat transfer, hence, i decided to concentrated on them during masters. Petroleum or MEE offers me the chance to achieve that goal. ***uni don't offer petroleum so i applied for MEE.
Vo: Have you read any course on MEE before?
Me: Yes! Fluid mechanics and heat transfer were courses i did during UG.
Vo: What will you do after graduation?
Me: I already have a job offer in my alma matter for graduating with first class, hence, i'll come back and take up the offer. My course advicer is presently the only one in that field so i'll second him.
Vo: Have you paid SEVIS?
Me: Yes. The receipt is there with you under the I-20
Vo: When?
Me: Last month.
Vo: Who is paying?
Me: My uncle. He owns a steel company that is into fabrication and repair of overhead and underground steel tanks. Am his favorite nephew and he's been sponsoring me since sec school.
Vo: Can i see his bank statement?
Me: Hands it over with his sponsorship letter.
Vo: Goes out with my SEVIS receipt, bank statement, and sponsorship letter.
Vo: Returns.
Me: Additional to my uncle's sponsorship, I also got a graduate research assistantship from the school. I have an official letter for that.
Vo: Ok! You should have just told me you paid ur Sevis some days ago instead of last month (*me for my mind....na july we dey soo)
Vo: Why didn't you go for the masters immediately after graduation?
Me: I needed time to study for GRE and TOEFL so i decide to serve within that same time and it paid off. (GRE=310; TOEFL=105). The scores are among the reasons i got the assistantship.
Vo: Your SEVIS payment hasn't reflected on our system but am going to approve your visa. So i'll keep your passport and we'll contact you about pick-up once the SEVIS is confirmed. Hands me over my docs and a small paper that lists things i'll have/do before travelling.
Me: Happily perplexed...Thanked her and walked.

It was just Chukwu Nna that made it happen.
To those still going for their interview never let denial of someone ahead of you on the queue discourage you. You always can be the first to be approved by the vo. Just prepare well and be confident....then leave the rest to God.

Igbiboi:



Gee, do you wanna do MSC? If so, have ever heard of the school called University of Bridgeport? It is one of those schools in Connecticut U.S. That admit low grade students. But before I go further I want you tell me your Nigerian undergrad GPA not the evaluated one, and the reason is this: most people do not realize that some schools do not ask for evaluated transcripts and as such might have a more lenient grader than many of the evaluator companies.

I know University of Bridgeport personally and I can guarantee you that with a good application and if you show enough ability to pay schools fees they will admit you straight away. And luckily also the U.S. Embassy recognizes the school and I've never seen anybody denied visa because of that school. Presently, there are over 30 Nigerians in the school.

Please reply my dm
