Dear Sorelee,

I will say this but please don't take it off with me , you among the few guys on this thread that deserves some accolades for your continuous effort towards educating people like me here and I won't lie(lasisielenu voice) I have benefited from every little thing you guys have said and still learning.


Furthermore, I will like to draw your attention with what happened few days back about the issue with low ranked schools bla bla bla . which you totally don't fall in tune with which is very correct .but I will like to inform you that most of this things are not people fault and though you can blame it on lack of information. They are here to meet gurus Like you to feed them with of information

I will still want you to keep your comment intact here because me in particular I'm a fan and its seems you guys don't know much this has changed so many lives on here .


Please don't stop your good work irrespective of any argument you can have on this thread and keep sharing information and ideals .. I can see that our mummy lagosismyhome is now getting older and responsiblity is now half shared here ..

Please I love you guyz walspring sorelee theamerican femi312 and co..we love you and I have learnt so so much from you all ...

According to you previous post, yours wasn't even up to 4weeks now.

I paid application fee January 9th and got admitted March 1st. That like 7weeks. But my application got completed when they received my official GRE test result late January. So give or take, my wait period lasted for about 4weeks

abimbolar:

Yes it has been update to 15 digit number

abjisperson:
House,..pls I need ur opinion and counselling...am currently waiting for my i-20 to arrive but jus found out that my course is evening/online...is it advisable to proceed or Shud I abandoned it...What I really want to know is, is there any way the VO will found out if "strategic human resource" is evening and online,..that is, is it written on the i-20?...i have never seen an i-20 b4..I need experienced people only to pls respond...

Online course is what you can do without getting a visa to go to US, You will only need visa when you are going for your graduation.

Is better you apply for a full time course and not part time (evening) course so that you can get your visa

lasthero:
hello house. please i want to ask.

while waiting for my I-20 that will arrive in 3 weeks time, what can i do at the background?

can i pay for SEVIS or pay for visa fee?

Also, i see most transcript here to have sponsors. in my own case, my savings and mutual fund investment covers my expenses for the first year($25k plus) and i have statement of account with genuine source to proof it. my I-20 also reflects personal funds. Hope i am good to go?

No... You need your sevis number to fill sevis payment form and also need the same sevis number to book visa interview with the receipt of your visa fee

Jcnmode:
My school says I20 process starts in June, do I pay for SEVIS and apply for visa while waiting?

I answered similar question like this. when they process and issue your i20 ask for the scan copy that you need it to process you visa appointment and sevis payment because you need the sevis number on your i20 to do both stuff

LagosismyHome:
It been a while since I check pm .

abeg check even my pm is on queue.

Thanks oga walspring

let's give all the thanks to God

Gabbychioma:
Good morning guys,
I missed a call from US Embassy twice yesterday
This morning I was on the road so I couldn't pick. Checked my phone now and found out it was them calling but it was already a missed call.
And anytime I call their number back the girl at the customer care is never of any help. She always says we'll get back to you.
What do I do. Do I wait, do you think I'll still be called back.
Thanks

The same call some people are waiting for you missed it.

Next time pick your call if you are in a busy or noisy here then tell them you are in a busy number they should call you back in a certain that you know that you will be able to pick and tell them you will call back. That's what i do tell my bank, my phone customer care, my church members, my family and friends when they call me and i am in a busy area.

What is it that they are getting back to you?

Hello house. . Please I need clarification. In filling a school form & they ask about personal information, is that where you feel in your SOP or just say things about yourself?
What's the content of personal information?
Please reply ASAP. Thanks

Please i need your lead....

Hello good people..
Thanks for the valuable contributions thus far. A bossom friend got admit in two schools, university of texas at arlington campus and University of New Orleans. Please any graduate student here studying in either of the schools here i can connect with?

Thank you.

MY STORY IN FULL!!!

On the back of 5 visa denials (admitted into UBC, Canada and visa denied 3times due to insufficient funds, travel history etc plus Cleveland State University - admitted, no GRE, no funding, denied twice last year) I went to the embassy yesterday. Got there about 5:50am for a 7am appointment. After all the checking in, we got on the queue to be interviewed. Windows 1&2 were not available so we sha couple. A VO was speaking Yoruba to aged applicants, it was really funny . Lots of Babcock students were on the queue, all of dem just collecting white paper like kilode Every interviewee had 2 others lined up behind them. The CGI lady sha put me in between 2 queues wen i got to d front. As I tried going to the lady in window 4 in an attempt to avoid a man from interviewing me based on my previous experiences, the lady dragged me back to the guy in window 6. Na so I look up say God Na mercy I need. After he denied the person right in front of me, he beckoned on me. I was like Jesú Klisti ooooooo. Did you mean me or my ancestors Then the long interview started:

VO: Good mrng how are u?
Emi: i'm fine thank you sir and you
VO: Good, pass me your I-20 and passport
Emi: I did
VO: *typed For long and finally asked* what school are u attending in the USA
Emi: University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign IL
VO:What programme
Emi: Masters in teaching of mathematics
VO: what's your highest level of qualification and what year
Emi: BSC Ed maths...2011
VO: So what have you been doing after NYSC
Emi: Working as a maths teacher and tutor
VO: Did you apply to any other school?
Emi: Yes
VO: What are their names
Emi: UT ARLINGTON, YESHIVA, BGSU
VO:HOw many admitted you
Emi: All 4
VO: Why UIUC?
Emi: UIUC was an easy decision for me because they are very good at maths, the maths programme at UIUC is ranked among the top 20 BEST maths programmes in the USA and also I got a full ride
VO: Did u take any tests
Emi; Yes I did GRE AND TOEFL
VO: What are your scores and let me see ur score sheets
Emi: I responded and did as he requested
VO: What are the things expected of you as a TA
Emi: grading papers, leading small group discussions and stuff
VO: Do you have any back up funding plan
Emi: Yes, I have been saving up some cash for my dream since a long time and my mum is a strong backup?
VO: What does she do
Emi: She is into sales and supplies of building materials
VO; Are you married?
Emi: No
VO: Any kids?
Emi: Not at all
Have you traveled outside Nigeria before
Emi: No, I haven't had a reason to travel until now
VO: I will be approving your visa...two things, first pick up at the circled location and secondly, don't travel without your I-20 or else you are gonna find ursef in the next flight to Nigeria
Emi: I smiled, thanked him and left...I heard everything he said

I thought my interview was gonna be short, but no be so. The guy really drilled me, but I was not tensed at all. He had a super friendly ambience around him. I'm sure he picked few questions from previous denials..eg GRE. If you were on this thread last year, you probably read my denial transcripts under my old moniker 'sshola'. After those denials, I sat back and decided to write GRE and TOEFL and then gun for better schools UIUC and UTA. It really paid off big time. I also decided to be a learner, but a smart one like James Bond (007). Hence my name...learner007. I asked very dumb questions on this platform because I planned to ask my way to a visa approval and people really hit at me but I was trying to be cautious this time around, if u no go, u no know. I want to appreciate a lot of people here. For all visa hopefuls, may you find grace in time of need. My dream has finally come through!!!

Paulbets, walspring, Lagosismyhome, Femi321, Bigfrancis, Scholastica etc

My advice:
1. Dont always follow the path of least resistance, when you do the easy things, life becomes hard but when you do the hard things, things become easy

2.WHATEVER U ARE ASPIRING FOR, PURSUE DILIGENTLY AND DON'T GIVE UP....rest if you must, but DONT GIVE UP!!!

You are just the diamond on this thread, God bless you. If you can remember last year June when there was a mistake on my I-20 and the Chinese guy denied me (sshola old moniker). You encouraged me then and I even PMed you. God bless you mummy wa

Good morning house,

I stated my dad as my sponsor and the company am working with presently will be giving me 2m as support but the fund will be available upon visa approval.

My question is this, if the vo ask for my sponsor can I also indicate the company's proposed fund along side my dad?
