Hello all, it is advisable to use Qatar airways to the USA? Am sure you have all been hearing of "Qatar and state-sponsored terrorism", I hope it won't affect flights to the USA using Qatar airways cos they seem to be the most affordable to Texas.

I really wanna appreciate God almighty for everything. I have been on this journey since part6 (2014) but my visa was denied three times, so I had to take up other alternatives here by working at my place of work till God will say YES,. I also applied to Canada last year (Brandon University, Masters in Environmental & Life science) but visa was denied after 9weeks for Travel history & insufficient funds. All I believe is God's time will always be the best.. (Story for another day before Oga justwise go vex)

Fastfoward(Today). As I wake up around 3am, I think say na 7am.. Naso I rush do some normal routine serenre, dey rehearse how i fit take compose normally infront of the VO without fucking up. @Fredoricko called me some minutes later to congratulate me in advance, lol.

(In my mind, I con meet my grandpapa). He is a friend from Unilag, going for MSc in Chemistry at MTSU with assistanship. Naso we con dey follow eachother like instagram on every stage from outside till the biometric stage.
Unfortunately, he was denied, as I stood behind him, as directed by the CGI guy, to be interviewed by the same VO (woman in her early 30s) in window 5..
The guy sef bleep up. VO was asking him "Why the school" and the guy dey tell VO say the school get nice building bla bla.. As she give am 214b, my mind cut.. Naso I carry myself go meet her..

Me: Goodmorning Ma'am

VO: (Didn't answer), Pass me your documents.
I obliged, Naso she dey type for some seconds..

VO: why are you going to USA

ME: I am going to USA to pursue my Masters in Geosciences with concentration in Palynology & Paleoenvironmental studies at GSU

VO: why Georgia state University

ME: I choose GSU because they offers concentration in Palynology.......(she cuts in)

VO: (Re-adjusts mic).Calm down, I don't really know about sciences, just explain your research interest to me so that I can understand..

ME: Like I said earlier (Now talking slowly and she was looking at me) I'd be going for MSc Geosciences, with concentration in Palynology, & Paleoenvironmental studies,. During this time, I'd be working directly with Dr ****** , we would be working on the Application of Plant pollen, its fossils and other palynological evidences in reconstruction of Past environment of the Quatenary(Pleistocene & Holocene Era).

VO: what course did you study in your undergraduate?

ME: Botany, I majored in Environmental Botany & Palynology

VO: (Nods*, and looking through my i20), You were given tuition waiver?

ME: Yes ma'am, Full tuition waiver with stipends.

VO: (Typing and looking at her screen). You applied to University of Baltimore before?

ME: (Mheen, my mind first cut, as Ubalt stuff was 3years ago and I was denied 3times in 2014).. Yes ma, I applied to study Forensic science but my visa was denied due to my inability to show home ties.

VO: Tell me about this course.

ME: I'd be required to complete 36credit hours in 28months. 15credit hours of core courses, 9credit hours of Electives, 3credit hours of seminar and 9credit hours of research thesis. (VO cuts in again, and fear come over catch me)

VO: what courses will you be taking?

ME: Physical & historical geology, Advanced Aqueous Geochemistry, Advanced Geoinformatics, Environmental Geology, Environmental conservation, Fossil plant & Paleoenvironment, Geobiology, Hydrology, Climate & weather.......

hello guys, God is Great and He indeed answers prayers-
I was finally at the embassy today after so many inconsistencies in my application. 7:00 batch. I must say its really been a rough and long journey, getting into the main interview hall was like heaven to me. I felt something different; that i can explain. Normally i love teaching and love to express myself with my hands whenever I am talking but during my practice in front of a mirror I always sat down and thought that was how the interview would be. Fortunately, I just gained confidence (though i prayed much about that) when i realized it was a standing interview. In the hall, i noticed the VO in the third interview was just giving white paper. He interviewed more than ten people before myself and only denied a couple going for vacation(i must say the man didn't sound convincing).
This is how it went

VO: HELLO,(SMILES) PASS ME YOUR .....
ME: obliged
VO: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR STUDY PLAN IN THE US?
ME: (breathes in) I am going to GVSU for my masters in cell and molecular Biology with emphasis in Biotechnology. During a study period of 24 months I would be required to take 36 credit unit hours of courses including 5 electives scheduled for 9 credit hours per semester. After my study I intend to come back to Nigeria and take up a lecturing job at my home university where I would not only teach students but also motivate them to embrace a career in this rapidly developing field(at this point VO looks at me with interest) on the long run I intend to become a major proponent of Biotechnology here in Nigeria, establishing a research and development industry that will aim at exploiting local biomaterials to produce cheap and alternative bioproducts for the local populace.

VO: How many schools did you apply to?
ME: 4, listed them

VO:Who is sponsoring you?
ME: My uncle
VO: what does he do?
ME: told him
VO: What did you study in your undergraduate?
ME: Biotechnology
VO: What have you been doing since after your NYSC?
ME: I finished my NYSC late 2016. Between the periods of January to may 2017, I worked as a voluntary academic tutor where i prepare students for the UTME, tutor them in science subjects like biology,carryout routine revision of past questions and answers. I also advice them on suitable career courses to choose in the University based on their past academic qualifications and dreams.(looks at me and tries to interrupt, i noticed because all this i was saying was not written in my DS 160 then i quickly continue) earlier this month i took up a contact job with Bleep as product contract manager (he then nods: perhaps is because this is what is on the DS 160) then i told him my job responsibilities.

VO: starts typing for few secs
ME: saying my hail mary


VO: So i'll be approving your visa, pick up at isolo....you will be needing your I20 at the POE
ME: Thank you Sir


That was it oooo. I must say some few things which is not quite different from what people have said in the past.
Prayer works: persistent prayer and fasting. specifically i prayed for a short and interactive interview without requesting any document.(my mum had a novena for me i also did my private prayers)
There is nothing there please just read about your school and know it. Please don't cram(i realized i was cramming last night when my sis gave me a mock interview- said i was just talking fast. i had to sit back and see meaning into everything i had to say then speak calmly and confidently)
Finally, pray again.
May God perfect his what He has started in our lives Amen!!!

My Broda,My Broda..Congrats once again...

All praises to God Almighty for a successful visa Approval after I was denied visa two months ago( April 12 to be precise wasn't a nice day for me) and that was how I found this thread.i got advice from the gurus to refire and apply for a bachelor's degree rather than the associate degree I got denied for but I believe in God intervention and still went with the a community college I20...fast forward this morning the rain was much Chaii rain way sock me today no be here ooo plus the bus I entered stop at oniru if you are familiar with vi and I had to walk from there to bonny camp before I could get keke( I wish you could see me that morning you go pity for me) after my biometric verification I was on the line watin to be interview and I was fortunate to listen to profojah Interview Chaii the guy was so audible and the way he was gesticulating and explain his program as well I was like which kind wahala course be this bayi pale kini ....that's how I was directed to window three fresh looking young guy always with white earpiece.......

Vo: Good morning
Me: morning sir with a smile
Vo: what's yours study plan?
Me: I will be taking 64 credit of course work at a period of 24 month which some of the courses I will be taking include engineering graphics, dynamic, calculus and the likes prior to my graduation which I will be transferring to obtain a bachelor's degree ( vo look impressed with my response after denying the first two guys after bleeping with their response)
Vo: Why associate degree and not bachelor's degree
Me: I'm going for an associate degree because the only place I can get so much in depth knowledge on my field of study in my first two years at an affordable rate before transferring to a 4 years university happens to be a community college, so it's not really all about the associate degree but it's about what I can aquire and gain during the period before transferring
Vo: Why did you choose this school
Me: I choose baltimore city community college because I was impressed with the standard of the program I Was applying for after some extensive review I found out that they offer more hands on approach of the courses I will be taking compare to some traditional four years university in their first two years which was very impressive and was what I was looking for.
Vo: what are your plans after graduation?
Me: I intend transferring my 64 credit to Morgan state university to obtain a bachelor's degree in civil engineering after which I will be returning to practice in one of the top construction companies here in Nigeria
Vo: when did you finish secondary school
Me:2012
Vo:what have you been doing since then
Me:after sec school I enrolled to a technical school to learn about satellite TV and cctv installation and afterwards I applied for an Advance level program which I finished in 2016
Vo:which other schools did you apply to
Me: Morgan state university and Wester Nebraska community college
Vo: so you intend going for an associate degree then you will transfer?
Me yes sir
Vo: I will be approving your visa pick it up in the.....
Me: I went deaf and almost jump up..


I want to say a very big thanks you to everyone on the is thread you are all amazing and special thank you to @Teedawg and @neurosic for a one month intensive mock interview I don't know you in person to thank you enough but God Almighty will surely reward you and I hope to meet you guys someday..... That's how I got my visa approved for a community college

Please gurus!!

Is North Carolina state university, MSc Electrical a good place to look out for?
