Rheenah:



Congrats hun. Urs was at abj?

Thanks Rheenah, and congrats to you also.
My interview was yesterday at Lagos.

Rheenah:
You know, when you have the Lord by you, no need to shake. I woke by 4 today . Had 7:30 interview.we left by 5:30 and funny enough I didn't even think of the interview. I was admiring the island and the ocean and all. Even when we queued I was absorbed in my surroundings. Didn't think of the interview much.
I was on heels and from the whole queue and queue and all I was exhausted and vexed. I think the vexation added more confidence to me. Plus I kept singing the song "your grace is enough for me". (Ladies biko dun wear heel to your interview o)
Moving on....
The person that was interviewed before me in window 6 was rejected.

VO: Pass me your passport,sevis and i20
(I did and in my mind was like nawa o. no good morning)
VO: why this school (typing fast)
Me: Berea college is a highly ranked college in us. with good econs faculty. (I stopped)
VO:tell me about this course (I didn't rehearse Ds at all so I didn't HV an answer. But I rehearsed " wat will econs do for u" and quickly answered it)
Me : Economics is a course that will help me develop my analytical skills to work in multiple industries
VO: tell me courses requires in econs
Me: (didn't also rehearse for this sha) maths,eng,econs,commerce and other courses
VO: types furiously into computer
VO: how did u get this scholarship
Me: it is awarded to every admitted student in the school
VO: (laughing) wow I wish I got one of those
Melaughing) (in my head, gimme visa lemme go)
VO: starts to bring a white paper and I smiled because God had done it. Keep your i20 well you will need it congrats. Pick ur passport at bla bla bla place. HV a nice day
Me: thank you
(Those in the queue before me standing at other windows waiting to be interviewed smiled and said congrats because we had been talking about how everyone was getting rejected. Especially by the man in window 3. So mean. So many drama.Even those phonerising (and they were many both male and female. See me with my yeye local accent and God still did it)
Its all God. Be confident. Look them eye to eye. Oyibo is a human. Rehearse (some people just dey bite their tongue)
Pray pray pray

A big Congrats to you gurl, and to all new Yankee bound fellaz in the house... A very big thank you to all those whose names were n were not mentioned in the success stories on this forum.

Congratulations..

My advice: pray pray and pray, be confident, watchout! there are some answers you should never give,read nairaland thread over and trust GOD.
Thumbs up to guys who also posted their transcripts here, and a big thanks to DareFadi, your words of encouraging was greatly helpful.

Can u please explain this statement...' There are some answers you should never give'.. Like wat sir? Thanks

Take for example, you are asked how many schools did you apply to and you say one. My dear, thats a turn off. Therefore try and apply to more than one school if possible like 4.
Another example is, when you are asked "who is sponsoring you" and you say "i am sponsoring myself". It wont work. OR you are asked "why did you apply to this school", and you said "it is because a friend told me about it".
Those are examples of what i meant. I may be wrong though, but i heard 2 people say things like the first two above and i knew that they would be denied and they were.

stunner1404:
I want to say a big thank you to Darefadi don't know her new user id and also plauses. Boat most eapecially a big THANK YOU TO GOD FOR IN ALL MY UNEIGHTEOUSNESS HE COUNTES ME WORTHY

oluwafemikolade:

Emergency booking is no longer available for F1 visa. It can only be done for those going for medical.

Leetwho:
Hello Peeps,
Please i want to find out if it is possible to book an emergency visa appointment with the US consulate here in Nigeria for student visa. I just got my i-20 form last Friday and my school expects me to report for orientation on August 9, 2016. The appointment dates available now are end of August or September which will be too late for me.
Please whoever knows how to book the emergency appointment should please put me through.
Thanks y'all.

Yes as much as there is no emergency booking it is very possible that u could get am earlier date cos the embassy creates more date for F1 visas during this period. All you have to do is keep checking on the appointment page for new date probably every 4-6hrs. And u might be lucky to get one in less than a week.

Also we have people who cancel appointments or reschedule which might open up a space for you. Just keep checking and be hopeful.

Big congrats to @stunner1404 @Rheenah @methodjim @pgiddy and @Oludarey1

I have new (never used )set of Manhattan GRE books for sale. I actually got them to use for GRE but I ended up not writing GRE because my school waived it for me.
I would have taken them along with me to the USA because it will be useful when I finish my masters and wants go for PHd by God's grace. But those books are heavy and they are taking up so much space in my luggage.

if you are interested and ready to give a reasonable price please..... quote me...can we negotiate about the price? Pls do ff back...safe

stunner1404:
Now here is my transcript. I got to the embassy at exactly 6:00 am for my 6:30 interview. Even though as at yesterday i was pretty scared and having different thoughts by the STILL SMALL VOICE kept ringing it is settled in my head. To save you of all the stories . I did all proper checking and finger print and i was sent to windows Six with one Guy that kept giving people Blue paper. At first i almost didn't want to go there but then i said God let your will be done. so the guy denied the person in my front and as i was about about to step forward i was asked to hold on for one Old woman which i did . He approved the woman's Visa and now my turn.

V.O: Good Morning Sir.
Me: Good Morning, How are you doing ?
V.O: Am Fine, Thank You. Can i have those?
Me. Yes Please.
V.O: So how did you find our about this school.
Me. I found out about the school through study.com.
V.O: Okay. So why this school?
Me: Apart from my school been one of the best research universities in the field of Agricultural Science I chose my school because it combines both of my interest in one program, Agribusiness Economics. ,..........
V.O cuts in. What is agribusiness economics about?
Me: It entails all aspect of agriculture from production to sale and........
V.O Cuts Again... What is the graduation requirement for this course:
Me: Successful completion of a 3.0 on a 4.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average in a 9hours Core Agribusiness Courses, !5 Hours Electives and ^ Hours Thesis and Oral Examination

I am also interested sir as regards the dollar thing, can we have PM?

My question might look stupid but I will ask, how much will it cost me to get an international passport from eastt here.....criticisms re welcomed

aGirlHasNoName:


Thanks for the offer. A family friend offered to do it and I'll have to send 67k to him for everything. Good deal for me I guess. Only downside is he can't do it until next week so I have to wait. Thanks once again for offering to help, I appreciate it. Have a wonderful day.
P.S I have nothing against your price, I just think 67k is a better deal. Business methods 101.

I was expecting something like this and its good because blood is thicker than water

Also i hope when it took longer than expected you wont be worried and if i am not wrong maybe the person will use money order as payment.

Wishing you all best

Hello Nairaland Forum.

I wanted to share my experience for a while now but has been putting it off.

I applied for F1 (Study Visa) to the US, I had my I-20 ready, paid my SEVIS fee through an agent I saw on nairaland,
prepared all my documents, bank account statements and the likes. I was to resume school in January, 10th to be precise. Due to many personal factors I booked for visa interview sometime in December and the available dates were in January from 15th, way past my resumption date. I sent an email to the embassy with proof (Admission documents, I-20) for expedited interview date and it was granted, I went online and rescheduled to 27th of December. I went for the interview and my visa was granted. I got my passport after some days.

NOTE:You have to be very careful when rescheduling, the page is very sensitive.

Interview questions were, What are you going to do in the US? Why study this course? No document was checked and she said keep you I-20 within reach. Very brief.

Booking a flight at that time was very expensive, so I booked towards the end of January. I arrived the school weeks after resumption, I decided to defer my admission and stay back till August (Fall Semester) . The same day I got my new admission documents, I got a HOT mail from the international office that as part of F1 rules and regulations, I could not stay back in the country, I had to leave and come back in July, they explained a five months rule, that is the maximum time you can be out of the country on F1 visa and it will still be valid. They also explained that my SEVIS status would be deactivated and reactivated a month before I come back in August and assured me that it is okay, I would be able to come back, I was scared, disappointed all possible feelings I went through.

I did not have a choice than to leave and go back home dejected in February. Five miserable months after, I got an email from the international office that my SEVIS status is now active. I made the journey back with same visa, same documents and I resumed in August.

One year after I do not regret my decision though I had no other option and I am sharing my experience to encourage.

Rheenah:
Also thanks to everyone who contributed on this thread. Though I didn't get chummy with much people. The fact that you stay back to help is an added blessing to you

I would be selfish if i dont post the transcript of my visa interview.
My interview was for 9.00 but i was eventually interview by a young lady at window 5 around past 10. The woman actually gave the guy before me a denial, but i just trusted God that i would not be denied. As the guy left and i was about stepping forward, the woman asked for permission to leave, and she left for about 5-7 minutes. I was just praying that i should not be redirected to the other VO guy at window six, who had been denying everybody visa (as far as i know). The woman eventually came back and this was how my interview went.
Me: Good Morning
VO: Morning
VO: Where are you going to in the US?
Me: I am going to Montana State University
VO: What do you want to go and do?
Me: I am going for a Masters in Mathematics at Montana State University
VO: What did you do in your bachelors degree?
Me: I had my bachelors degree in Mathematics
VO: What year did you finish school?
Me: 2012.
VO: Where do you work?
Me: I worked at a research company?
VO: What is your job description at the company?
Me: I carry out mathematical and statistical analysis for the firm, i train clients on the use of mathematical and statistical softwares, i interact with clients who come with their research work.
VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: I am being sponsored by the University and the department. I got a full scholarship together with a GTA.
VO: (She made an expression of surprise on her face). What made you qualified for this scholarship?
Me: The school was impressed with my statement of purpose, my transcript and my GRE score. In addition, i also had a Skype interview with two professors in the department (i mentioned the names of the professors)
VO: What did you have in your GRE?
Me: I had 150 in verbal, 159 in quantitative and 4.0 in analytical writing. (She then asked me to pass my GRE score, which she looked at)
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to IIT, FIT, MSU and New Mexico Institute of Tech.
VO: What made you choose MSU?
Me: I chose the school because MSU offers a Mathematics programme that suits my career goals and research interest. I was also fascinated with the fact that the department of Mathematics and Statistics are under one department which is the department of Mathematical sciences. Hence, I have the opportunity of combining some statistics courses together with my mathematics courses without having to spend more than two years. I also have a senior colleague and friend in the school who is also a graduate student who spoke highly of the school.
VO: Okay, i would be approving your visa, make sure you ................. blah blah blah
My advice: pray pray and pray, be confident, watchout! there are some answers you should never give,read nairaland thread over and trust GOD.
Thumbs up to guys who also posted their transcripts here, and a big thanks to DareFadi, your words of encouraging was greatly helpful.
