Hello Guys, I need your help .. I’m an immigrant currently living in New York City, I got to the USA a month ago.. I tried applying to two colleges as a freshman and they both requested for my WASSCE to be evaluated. I checked WES but their requirement is too rigid since I’m not in Nigeria and the time span will be too long cos the college application deadline is September. I came across Globe language services inc. and SpanTran, please which is better btw these two? ( or any other evaluation company) I’m open to all suggestions as this is urgent.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

Any suggestion?

jelmusboy:

dannie007:
Yes I am here.

A somewhat silent reader here with a good news to share. I didn’t know about this thread as early as I would have preferred but thank God I didn’t make costly mistakes. So my interview was on 27th December 2017, I was placed on AP till my resumption date passed. The embassy contacted me and asked that I get a new i20 before the processing can be concluded. Here was how my interview went after greetings and passing the requested documents:-

Why do you want to study in the US
US has great reputation for her academic excellence, technological advancement and with respect to my course Management, I looked at the years of practice, existence, structure….then my study plan….How richly the program is designed to transform students into excellent managers which is exactly what I need now in my career.
Where are you going in the US?
I am going to Texas - Texas A&M University-commerce
What course will you be studying?
Business administration, Management major (then I continued, just to clarify that it was written differently on my i20) though it’s written as Business Administration and Management on my i20 (she then took a look at it and said ok)
How many Universities did you apply to and why?
I considered 3 universities in US but for full application - 1(one), Texas A&M commerce and this was because for my course, some universities offer it as an online course, some others only offer it during fall session (keep in mind that I applied for winter session2018) while majority don’t even offer it at all at masters level…so this was why…… (said some other things I can’t really remember)
What is your highest qualification?
I have BSc in Business Administration, Human Resources Management Major
What value will this US degree add to you that your undergraduate degree hasn’t?
Presently I work as a Human Resource Consultant for XYZ company but I want more and I believe for every next level of my life, a different and better version of me is demanded….i believe a higher academic qualification in my chosen career field is the way. (She was busy typing and listening so I continued) I want my profile to be attractive enough that the likes of Accenture Nigeria, Kimberley Ryan and Workforce Group….top HR/Management consultancy companies in Nigerian will not be able to reject a job application from me, if and when I ever do apply.
My major goal though is to build/own a HR/Management consultancy company that could in near future stand with these top HR companies in Nigeria,
Who is sponsoring you?
My Brother (mentioned his name)
Why your brother instead of your parents?
My dad is late, my brother has been sponsoring me since my secondary school days and I went to one of the best private universities in the country

What does he do?
He is an ICT engineer, a co-founder and an Executive Director in XYZ company. Also, He is a Director in XYZ (she typed and stared at her computer for some time and asked that I spell the 2nd company’s name, I did and we continued)
Have you ever applied to any other school in another country before?
(this I guess was because of my Canadian applications and denials – 2 actually…….i wasn’t expecting her to know or ask this though)
Yes I have an admission in Canada but my visa applications were denied so I decided to focus on another country with great academic reputation…..I also have 2 unconditional admissions in UK
Have you travelled out before?
No. I've not had a reason to.
At this point she then asked for my sponsor’s statement of account, placed it in the middle of my international passport, kept them aside and told me that she will be placing me on Administrative processing…..she then hands me a while sheet with AP ticked on it
I thanked her and left
***** I had to differ my admission with TAMUC till fall 2018, I received the i20 the beginning of June, sent it to the embassy and here we are……ISSUED
Thank you to everyone that ever posted transcripts, those that have been helping answer questions here since 1960 you all are amazing…..God Bless Us All

Amme018:
I wish I knew about this thread earlier.

I was referred here by a friend in May, I have been a guest reader not until now. I read from page 1 of Part 12 to this page of Part 13, and I have learnt so much. You guys have been so wonderful, you have assisted and put so many people through the process of getting their Visa approved, and I am hopeful that you all will help analyse my case.

I was at the Lagos consulate twice in December last year for Spring 2018 entry and my visa was not approved on the two occasions. I am making another attempt next month. I have some modifications in my profile. I would like to share my proposed interview transcript for you all to help me analyse it. I AM OPEN FOR YOUR CORRECTION, OPINION AND ADVICE.

Please I'm stuck here. Where do I find my ds 160 confirmation number. First time to book interview.

mayd16:
anyone

I think if they really want to sponsor you, there should be no difficulty in printing their soa for you. Thinking logically, If that's too difficult for em to do, It raises doubt that they ll be ready to touch the funds in their acct for ur sake.

That's what I think tho.

ceejay55ceejay:
Please I'm stuck here. Where do I find my ds 160 confirmation number. First time to book interview.

See if you can save this page ... Go back to the home page and click on DS160 ... You need to fill out the form first before you carefully link that with this page.
As you start your ds160 form, the number you see on that page is your confirmation.

Be careful.

N.B you can just fill out your surname, secret questions and i20 number, save it then carefully link it with your payment slip and this particular page.

justwise:
Why?

Oga justwise, this same issue happened to me when I got my visa. if you check my profile you could see that the same issue that occurred during her Visa interview happened to me but just that I was lucky and she wasn't ..which I really want to help her should in case she's willing to go back for the interview.

I must want to give back to this thread because this thread gave me a platform I will never forget

mayd16:
hello guys,
please i am having a deep concern, my place of work is sponsoring my study in the USA, but i will be given a sponsor letter (or no object letter) not the company's account statement cus they cant give me that. please what should i do. my interview is soon please i need help.

Once you appear at the embassy with what you have stated above, you would have succeeded in making a complex case multiplex... It might take a very long time and trials to straighten it out.

Even your local government can give you their bank statement if they really want to sponsor you. I'm deeply sorry but the simple truth is that if they won't give you a SOA they are not your sponsor.
