Hello buddies, I wanna make an inquiry bout the SEVIS fee. Do I need to pay the fee before I can get my I-20?

You pay sevis fee after you have been granted admission and your i20 has been issued

After much denial i was fed up and just didn't want to apply again,but my brother urged me. I did,and this time i was FURIOUS and determined.

vo:good morning.
me:how are you today?
vo:fine and you?
me:i'm fine sir.
vo:so,why are you going to the USA?
me: To pursue my bachelor's degree in Construction management.
vo: why US?
me: The USA is a country that is well fecognized for it's academic excellence and enhanced learning experienced,also the USA has one of the best educational system in the world offering flexible educational opportunities accross 4000 institutions.
vo:tell me abut your school....
me:...I did,explicitly.
vo: why your school??
me: i chiose this school because their contruction management course is accredited by the American Council For Construction Education,which is a global advocate for construction education.Also,at this school i'd get to learn management skills which will enable me learn how to manage and coordinate policies ,equipment,budget and schedule as well as the safety of general public and employees,also i picked this school because i was given scholarship and their tuition is affordable.
vo:tell me about your school
me: this school is a public four year university,located in... they are part of the xyz state colleges and universities system,they also have over 125 student bodies and they offer 75 majors.Established in...., its is part of the tric-college university system...
vo.... i am going to approve your visa.



Big Congrats Bro.. God really did it for you and for those who don' t believe in prayers on visa stuff i think this is a very good example for them. Also there is these part part i really love so much (if you prove to be smart then there's no space for God). Bro go and enjoy the goodness of God.

imperiouxx:
How does it feel when you read "what is sop", "ivy league", "I-20", whereas these terms were gotten online and www.google.com is always online? It's like one step forward, two steps back. Just open a damn new tab on chrome and type those words.

I have to say that the people asking those questions don't get the point Bro.... You will have to do research and research and research just to answer a question about your traveling, and besides who wants to go abroad and does not know ivy league? I don't get the point or idea... If they think you, Walspring, LagosismyHome and the rest will do their research they are joking.... I know because that was why I first failed.... Texrem said he was going to check school website for me to help make the point on which I chose my school better... But guess what, he also told me that he was busy... I played dumb and was pressing phone... Lol. I saw the result. If we can't know the school or why we picked them.... Even without visa interview, then there's no point in traveling for studies.

I need schools that will accept unofficial document to issue admission so as to minimize financial resourses.
I have searched through Google but only see university that offer the course at undergraduate level and receive unofficial documents. your recommendations will be highly appreciated

I don't know if they have your course but I know for sure that these schools accept scanned copies.

1. Michigan Tech. (don't apply if funding is a top priority and you are going for Masters. School is stingy. Maybe PhD sha)
2. Ohio University, Oxford
3. New Mexico state university
4. North Carolina A&T
5. TAMUK.

Cheers.

please who has evaluated their University of Nigeria transcript using WES? I need to know how long it took UNN to confirm WES verification. thanks

Visa Approved this morning, thanks to Allah, thanks to my boss Walspring.
, thanks to nairalanders.
6:30 appointment window 6, first to be attended to by the VO.

Congratulations

i'd like to say a very thanks to u guyz.. Part 10 transcript helped alot; especially with reference to answering the question 'Y that school'.. Which I learnt how to answer by using the tips from this platform. I was advised to answer, stating that I was encouraged to attend a certain school by a graduate from the school who is currently utilizing the skills and knowledge he acquired in Nigeria, secondly I also stated research work that's currently been done in my department and my excitement in been part of that.
And above all, thanks to God.

Me: Good morning.. . ( passed my passport and i20 already, didn't wait to be asked)
VO: y ETSU
Me: While working as a medical doctor at INEC, I had the privilege of working with the medical director who happens to be an ETSU graduate hence galvanized me to study public health with a concentration in Epidemiology as he has done and contributed significantly to the reduction in the incidence rate of Child health morbidity and morality. He worked with the current Epidemiology HOD at ETSU in a research titled..
Secondly, EtSu is recognized for it's research skills recognized by its collaboration with John Hopkins University in a reaseach aimed at reducing COPD incidence rate.
(at this point, he had already started typing and I guess approving my visa application )
VO: who's sponsoring u?
Me: dad, myself, EtSu and a very close family friend who played a vital role in funding my medical school training.
VO: I can c u currently have a visiting visa but it was gotten in Ghana, y?
Me: ( I chuckled) I schooled in Ghana for 6 years and worked for2years.
VO: ur visa has been approved.. .(hands me some documents for pick up)


I'd say what really helped was my 1st response to his question.
Prior to my interview, he had rejected several peeps and I prayed to God that I shouldnt be sent to him; but hey.. . God took control.
From what I over heard in the denials b4 me, corrections will be; it's better ur sponsor does not currently have a sufficient balance for ur tuition but rather has an active account with money going in and out well than a sudden deposit of money, as 1 of the applicant was questioned for close to 15mins based on a sudden deposit of 19 million naira into her dads account.
Also, try not to repeat the VOs question b4 u answer him/her; rather listen to the question, think about it for a sec, compose urself and then answer strategically ad they may not be willing to listen to all ur reasons so bring the most important 1 first.
Also, don't show any doc if u haven't been asked to show it; it only shows ur nervous.
So when I was asked about who will be my sponsor, I answered and didn't show any bank statement.
Above all, trust God and remain calm, just because the 7 or so peeps that were in front of u were rejected, doesn't mean u will b rejected, as was in my case.
Here's wishing u guyz all the best.
God richly bless the organizers of this group.

November 17. This was the day i had my first interview and i flopped. I prayed a little tapped my phone around,texrem was busy he was able to only help with about one or two mocks ,so i revised alone but that wasn't the cause of the failure. The inability to adequately defend what i was going abroad for was the cause of the failure.My sister said we should fast ,i cut our fasting inbetween it was dry fast. The first interview went thus;
me: good morning sir.
vo:good morning
vo: why are you going abroad ?
me:for my bachelor's degree in Consrtuction management.
vo: why this school:
me:i choose this school because of their.... because of the way their syllabus is structured.
(i felt i had killed it before he killed me too)
vo:how is the course's syllabus structured?
me:opens mouth,searching my mind like google. i finally said it is structured in. a way that it helps me....and thats's how he said he can't approve it.That i haven't proven that i'm going as an immigrant.i got the blue paper.i got a damn blue paper.
Interview 2.... January.
what messed this up for me?
This time around i wasn't prepared mentally,emotionally,spiritually or prepared at all. My dad was in the hospital bed after slipping on the staircase and falling and i was attending to him,and i slept at 12 woke up at 4,....someone who's taken care of a neurosurgical patient will understand. On the day of the interview i didn't pray,i was bitter,unprepared and all sorts. i got to Walter Carrington.
And here's how me and the vo conversed......
me:good morning
vo:good morning.
me:how are you today?
vo:fine and you?
me:i'm fine sir.
vo:so,why are you going to the USA?
me: To pursue my bachelor's degree in Construction management.
vo: why US?
me: The USA is a country that is well fecognized for it's academic excellence and enhanced learning experienced,also the USA has one of the best educational system in the world offering flexible educational opportunities accross 4000 institutions.
vo:tell me abut your school....
me:..... i did,explicitly.
vo: Is your brother in the US?
me: yes,he is a.... (now pause,had i shut my fat beak here i'd be in the US already. i saw it in his eyes he wanted to give me so bad,but what...check out my stupid response after the 'yes' where i should have shut up.) ...he is a citizen and he is living well...He works for bla...bla...bla... and i am not going there because of him but to pursue my career. Now in what sense is this wrong In the sense that my education isn't the career.
So he moved his hands down picked that same useless blue paper making it number 2,....

Wow... Thanks for sharing this

Very short interview, congratulations once again.... ETSU here we come

teamf:
read this


Hello everyone. i saw this thread last week just days before my interview. Was at d embassy on friday 5th December. Here is how it went down.
V0: Hi good morning and smiling to me
Me: Good morning i replied smiling back at her
V0: How was ur nite
Me: It was fine thanks and urs?
V0: It was great.
V0: So ur goin to university of xyz
me: Yes i am for my undergraduate degree in xyz
V0: ok. How did u get to know about the school
me: my professor referred the school to me due to the school 's ongoing research on my field of study and i also went online to research further on the
school (for my mind i knew that was a lie buh anything to make my case look strong would be chipped in)
V0: When did u finish ur secondary education
me: 2006
V0: So wat have u bin doing since then? ( i was prepared for this question since i was going for my 2nd undergraduate degree)
me: Well, i finished my secondary education in 2006, gained admission to a reputable federal university
in d western part of Nigeria also in 2006, graduated in 2011, went for the mandatory national youth service in 2012, finished it in 2013 and started writing my professional exams in my new field.
V0: So you have bin under continuous educational environment since you finished your secondary education in 2006
me: Yes i have
V0: How many schools did you apply to
me: 5 schools
V0: Oh really? Which schools
me: i recited the schools like a poem
V0: So why did you choose this particular school
ME: The school is d best ranked among the 5 schools that i applied to in my field of study and am also particularly interested in the school 's ongoing research in the area of forensic and fraud as it relates to business management and internal control.
V0: Wow. Am impressed. So who is going to sponsor you
me: My dad
V0: what does he do
me: he is a business executive at xyz multinational company in Ogun state
V0: Oh really? **Punches her keyboard for some time**Your going to need this at other stages during your travel and stay in the United States so keep it safe alright***returns my i -20 to me while smiling** and your visa will be ready in... (at this point i wasn't even sure what else she was saying cos of happiness)
me: Ok thanks. i then collected the 2 white papers that she gave me. one was address of pick up location and the other was a flyer on orientation at the embassy for intending students.
NB// i wasn't asked why i wanted to do a second undergraduate degree, or my toefl or ielts or what is the salary of my dad or his bank account or proof of his ability to sponsor me. i believe from the little i saw that embassy must have already made up their minds at least 50% on whether to issue a Visa or not and d interview is just to convince and confirm their initial assessment of the application. However, the most important factor is God. If he says yes, no one can say no. God bless you all. Success to others.

Like seriously...
The Lord shall grant everyone of us looking forward to such testimony. We shall all see favour and get our visa approved in Jesus name.
