Transcript goes thus...

Me: Good morning with a smile (vo no send my smile)
Vo: Good morning ur passport and I - 20 pls
Me: (gave her and kept my sevis fee reciept)
Vo: where are u going to?
Me: Penn State University
Vo: whats ur 1st degree?
Me: PTE
Vo: pardon?
Me: ( I repeated it)
Vo: ok. Is that a B.sc?
Me: no, it's a B. Eng
Vo: so why Penn State?
Me: of the 8 schools my sponsor recommended, Penn State Harrisburg is the only one that specializes in Waste water treatment which is my area of interest and relates directly to my current job.
(Vo starts typing)
Vo: did u write any tests?
Me: Emmm, the GRE was waived cos I have a full scholarship but I took the toefl
Vo: so who is ur sponsor
Me: I told her
Vo: can I see anything in reference to ur sponsorship
Me: sure. (handed her the scholarship letter. She goes through for some time and returns it to me).
Vo checking my I 20 and continuously typing...
Vo: so who would pay for the 2nd year. It says here that the scholarship is for 1 year.
Me: no, my program is for 1 year. I was in contact with my program coordinator - Dr. Xyz nd he gave me a 1 year schedule.
Vo: oh! Is it? ( checking my I - 20). That's correct.
Vo starts typing for africa
Vo: so who would complete the other part of the payment?
Me: my dad
Vo: what does he do?
Me: he is a contractor. And he is also into real estate
Vo starts typing for Africa again
Me : ( I said in my head "Oh Lord, i'm not leaving here without my white paper"
Vo: you qualify for visa approval... (keeps quite)
Me: (oh lord, pls no 'but')
(Then she brings out the white paper na so I just happy)
Vo: i'll be approving ur visa
Vo: where would u be staying?
Me: told her ( it's a hostel off campus)
Vo: oh. Ok
Vo cirlcles location where I would pick up my visa.
She then hands me the white paper and an EducationUSA invite.
Me, I just dey thank God dey bounce commot.
NOTE: The woman in window 4 just dey issue blue paper like sey she be father xmas wey dey dash people gift. However, I think most people who are paid and working would understand why she refused most people visas. Some of them didn't give appropriate responses though. (I'm not saying I did cos I know sey God hand dey am). However, don't take lightly the information shared here. I believe with adequate preparation and unique responses ( modification of general responses to suit ur personal profile) any genuine student can get an F1 without hassle. Most people are lazy and don't do their research properly - sad to say though. Some F1 students didn't even knw the qualification they were going for. It's really saddening. All the best to other folks. Good luck.

It's impossible for an appointment confirmation not to have a barcode code... Except he didn't book an interview or ask him what really happened

Please help with mock, interview in few days.

Transcript in a bit...

Apologies for the slight delay in posting transcript; been in Redemption camp for the Holy congress 2017. Interviewed by a young slim lady; she actually denied all those before me; but i was so optimistic of getting an approval cos the Holy one of Israel is involved and I have committed it to Him(God) @Rccg song of victory program currently going on at redemption camp;

The whole interview lasted less than 40secs

VO: Your passport and I20

Me: Passed to her sharply

VO: What's your highest level of education?

Me:HND

VO: In?

Me : Elect / Elect Engineering

VO: What course will you be studying @WVU (Guess she saw the sch on the i20)

Me: Safety Mgt with concentration in Construction safety.

VO: How to you know about the sch?

Me: I knew about the sch when I attended the quarterly Safety forum organized by one of our major client in the construction industry; One of the facilitator is an alumni of the sch. He told me about the standard of the safety mgt in WVU , some of the past researches done wrt construction safety and I was so fascinated.

VO: Where do you work ?

Me : Told her the name of my company and my designation.

VO: (Type for some secs) Who will be sponsoring your trip ?

Me : My dad

VO: What does he do ?

Me: He's a mechanical Engr,bla bla bla...

VO: (Type for some secs ) I will be approving ur visa ...brings out white paper, circled a part and handed it over to me

Me: Collect the white paper and gave her thumbs up.

No documents was asked.
It was just God in action.

NB: For anyone going for interview soon, I beseech you to put God first , prepare well and be confident.
You can also connect to the ongoing Songs of Victory program @ Redemption camp and be sure of Visa approval victory in view. Am a living testimony.

Hello nairalanders, pls i need your help. I was sent back today at the embassy. It all happened that I book my appointment more than a month ago and I just recently completed the ds 160 form but the barcode on the appointment and ds160 are not the same. So I sent a mail to support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com for it to be corrected which was done yesterday but when I got there today, I was sent back that I will have to wait till 72 hours to book another appointment but my fear now is my school is resuming early January and I don't know how I'll get a date in december without paying another 64k

ponpon:

How on earth can you book appointment without completing the most important part of your application? Sigh..This is not a case of your village people, its your own handiwork. Anyways, you might have to wait till after 72hours like they said and try to request for emergency Appointment if you cant find any earlier date.
