Victory1989:
Good morning gurus in the house! I humbly seek for everybody advice and step to go on with.

Last year October I applied for to travel to USA with a distance cousin of mine with no close family affiliation,was call to becos he had an accident and needed urgent surgery, but at the end his mum and him where granted the visa while I was denied.

My passport was given to me without any stamp of on it like passport denied according to the agent he said I was lucky not to have been stamp rejected.

Now am abt to apply for a student visa, though am yet to gain admission for a master program, I want the house to assist me with this questions.

1. Is it to early to apply again since the last time it was for a medical tourism and now am going for student visa ( it belly one year)

2. Can 2:74 CGPA give me a chance to do master in USA, am a graduate of physiology.

3. The fact that I applied for medical tourism visa and now applying for a student visa will it not show desperation and thereby causing another rejection.

3. Can my cousins in Canada be my sponsor, since we do not have same surname...He has agreed to give me his statement of account if by chance his needed at the embassy.

4. What are the documents needed at the US embassy for student visa.

Please I need your advice.

First of all, what research have you done so far regarding schools? Have u atleast tried on ur own to check requirements of most schools?
Secondly are you sure you are going for a Masters program with the write ups and seeing here?
Thirdly you were simply denied because you don't seem to have any proof of home tie.

Lol unlike you, I didn't until this morning, when a friend went to pay his.

I think the 29hrs spent from Lagos to Washington was the most boring period of my life. Perhaps the only reason I tried to give it life was the thought that "my nairaland family is waiting for my transcript" and hey, I must say something.

The process from Lagos was rough as always with Nigerians trying to jump queue and some even raising their voices against one another. I was just reticent even when she slided into my front. ALAS, she was sent to the very back by an officer at the immigration desk.

Boarded the plane at about 30mins to the scheduled time and there we go at the set time. On board while I was searching for usb port on the seat, it's shocking that the QR 330 do not have such so I got to Doha stop over with an empty battery. I spent 3seconds feeling Doha's heat as we moved from the plane to the bus which conveyed us to the transit area. Doha is hot even in the middle of the night. Just like Dubai, at 4am, it was like 9am in Nigeria. At this time, my phone was fully charged(good charging ports everywhere-see attachment) and I connected to the Doha airport wifi and then updated this family.

At 7am, we got to the boarding gate to connect us to washington. Now I am better because there were charging ports on the QR707 seats. I was able to see just one movie in-between the 13hrs journey. The title of the movie? "Miracle from Heaven".

Arriving Washington at exactly 3:40pm on the 30th because we had 30mins delay. I got to the POE after about 45mins on a well organized queue with no complaint nor embarrassment. And here we go with the transcript:

Officer: where are you coming from?
Me: Lagos, Nigeria
Officer: How was your trip? (passport pls-gave it with declaration form-see attachment)
Me: Boring and long
Officer: I am so sorry
Officer: so you are here for....(cuts in-studies)
Officer: what course and where?
Me: Anthropology with focus on historical archaeology at William and Mary
Officer: I20 pls (gave it)
Officer: great full scholarship (I smiled)
Officer: how much do you have on you?
Me: about 700dollars.
Officer: great. Hands over document, stamped on the passport and told me to enjoy my stay.



I went to the baggage area-found my luggage together with ease and just went out. But no one even asked anything about anything in my bag. It got dawn on me that I am in Washington DC when I saw my supervisor from afaroff taking a shot of me. "Hey Lasisi, good to have you". I am like " ahn ahn where dem cpb people na" lol.

So we went straight to one kings buffet and had our dinner.


My conclusion- there is nothing to bother about the POE. As Sofadj, my dear friend at Maryland do tell me "you will be fine". I believe everyone with a genuine reason to school would be fine both at the embassy and at the POE.

- this might help someone- Lagosismyhome once said that "the God you pray to is a powerful God indeed". I think you are right. I can't remember spending my personal dime on my applications because I do not have any money to spend. But I can remember spending about 30000naira between last year and now- I spent the money only by giving it in the house of God. Sometimes I will have 10K and I needed to purchase flight ticket-10k would do nothing but I will quickly pray over it and sow it as a seed in church. This was how I paid for GRE, TOEFL, applied to 5schs (funded for all for 5yrs), got accomodation on campus, I mean everything was paid by my department even my Gre/toefl and application fees. I only paid about 30k in the house of God.

In everything we do, please let's acknowledge God because He would always make a way when there is no way. I learnt something from the movie onboard. The lady said " there are two things to believe 1. That everything is a miracle. 2. That nothing is a miracle". I think it doesn't hurt to believe everything is a miracle. Just to believe makes it a miracle. On this note, I want to wish everyone going for interview this week and months to come, Miracles from Heaven. Safetrip to everyone travelling this week too.

Thank you all my Nairaland Clan!!!

LagosismyHome:

hehehehe My mother always padlock, me i dont so its an individual thing ......A friend kept money in her checked bag , big padlock but the money still grew legs and ran way.

For me anyone is fine, depends on your preference . You can padlock ,... Just make sure all your money is with you at all times so dont put in your checked bag . If TSA need to confirm what in your bag they have their ways and would break the padlock if needed. All bags go through a scanner and are checked (padlock or not) so they always peep electronically ..lol . .....you can padlock if that would give you some safety assurance. ... I have noticed that most Nigerian padlock

vo:how many schools
me:3 then i name them(university of central oklahoma,cleveland state university and of course southwest minnesota state university that am going to)

vo:why did you choose this sch
me:: i was fascinated by the ongoing research in the mathematic department more than the others , since that is the area i will specialize in, i got interested and applied.I saw papers regarding Applied Mathematics that covers a wide range of topics in mathematical physics and mathematical modelling. I also seen research on Pure Mathematics involving geometric, analytic and algebraic methods in group theory……. Since I am undergrad some of the Content are advance but its good to know these research are done in the school which will be useful to me when I get there

vo:what do you intend to do with this course
me:i intend to work as a data analyst in a telecom company due to rapid increase in number of mobile phone users in nigeria.my skills and experience will be of high demand in helping in analysing sales report and doing market research so the company can become more productive and make better business decision.

vo:what are you doing now
me:i work at engineering firm where i service air condition,generator and refridgerator

Vo:so have you tried to apply to a university in nigeria
me: was not sure if i said yes or no but i remember saying there is too much strike in nigeria school and the school curriculum is not good that they focus on theory unlike us schools that has a good curriculum and international degree from us would give me edge over other when i apply for jobs in nigeria(was not expecting this question so my reply was not smooth i lost balance for here).

vo:she was saying something you will need this bla bla bla
