Good morning guys,
Visa Delayed this morning 7am

Firstly i will say there should be no discrimination about type of schools, i got plenty condemnation for picking a community college or going for an associate degree, so far you can defend your choice of degree ko matter. My interview was smooth until my past hunted me due to agent assistance the last time.

And also dont give anybody any document at the USA embassy gate until you enter.

VISA Experience

Consulate: Lagos
Date: 17th July 2018
Arrival time: 5:18 AM
Time Slot: 6:30 AM (interviewed at 8:20, second person to be interviewed by the lady)
Counter No: 1
Status: Approved

VO: Good morning ma'am, pass me you I-20, passport please.
Me: Good morning. Sure, here they are.

Me: I am going to the University of New Haven, Connecticut to pursue a masters in Environmental science with concentration in Geographical information systems and applications.
VO: What is your highest degree?
Me: Bachelor of Technology in Geophysics
VO: What year did you graduate?
Me: I graduated in 2014 (actually 2013 but my certificate has 2014)
VO: What have you been doing since then?
Me: After my NYSC in 2016, I took up a job as a tutor with Think First Tutors. While on the job, I learned some programming skills online ( Python and Matlab) and also did a course in Project Management to better equip myself for graduate studies while preparing to take the GRE and TOEFL. As a GIS analyst, certain skills are required like problem solving skills, project management skills and programming skills.
VO: What is your intended job after graduation?
Me: (smiling) I intend to enter the GIS field as a high level specialist in a reputable organization and make significant contributions to projects requiring the applications of GIS 'especially' in the environmental sector of Nigeria. Projects such as: environmental resource inventory - GIS is used to carry out rangeland surveys, coastal zone resource surveys; environmental impact assessment - GIS is used for route selection of roads and pipelines, oil field development, mines and quarries, agric development; water resources - since water is one of the main constituent of the environment, GIS helps in analysing the geographical distribution of water resources; environmental risk hazard analysis...(she cut me off)
VO: Who is paying for your studies?
Me: I received a scholarship after my I20 was sent (showed scholarship letter)

*she returned them
VO: Do you have any children?
Me: No ma'am
VO: Are you married?
Me: No ma'am
VO: You qualify for a Visa ........
Me: Thank you ma'am with a smile.

*It was more like a conversation, I was relaxed, smiling and I think demonstrating.
When I entered the Visa hall, I felt normal, didn't feel tensed one bit... honestly. I saw the dark fat lady and as usual, she gave the first person a blue paper. Though when the VO that interviewed me gave the first person a blue paper, my heart skipped. But then, my consolation was it is a case by case ish.
All the while, she kept looking at her system but looked at me a bit when she asked my plans after graduation.
*Dressing: Black pant suit with a sky blue shirt on heels.

God's favor saw me through honestly.
It's a combination of prayers and preparations.

This forum helped me big time.
Thank you guys.
And to those that took their time to vet my proposed transcript, I am super grateful. God bless you for me.

Bro! The rule of the game is, don't get caught lying. Once this happen, your credibility diminishes to zero because it is assumed everything in your application is a lie.

I suggest you take a break for now and re-evaluate your study plan. Try not to apply anytime soon cos you might get same outcome.

This was a conversation between my friend yesterday. I really want everyone to help us spot anything wrong in this . could it be his school ? or what? Help is to check and make corrections..What can be the rejection ?

Got interviewed by V. O in room 8

V. O: Good Morning
Morning

V. O: Tell me why you are going to the usa?
To study for a masters in civil and Environmental Engineering at Young Town state university with a concentration in hydroenvironmental engineering

What would this degree so for you?
This degree is in line with my career goal to become a university professor, conduct research and write journals.
The degree provides me with the basic requirement to pick up a lecturing job at the department of civil and environmental engineering as an hydroenvironmental engineering specialist at Lagos state university my Alma mata, more so, to provide consultancy services by extension.

V. O: are you married
Yes

V. O: how many kids
I answered one

V. O. Who is your sponsor:
My Dad is my main sponsor, and I equally have savings to cover my living expenses.

V. O. Typing..........
Handed me the blue paper
Am Sorry I cannot approve your visa apply next time

Yeah! We're saying the same thing. You made a mistake by not putting YES where you were asked if you have a family member in the US.
It was the easiest thing you could have done.
You put NO on the form, now went ahead to say NO when asked again.

The mistake has been done but learn from it.

Though your dad can sponsor you but most transcript of those married with kids and using dad as sponsor that i have seen here on nairaland are mostly refused. I dont know why but i guess embassy expect such people to be self sponsored or on scholarship. This is what i observed though.

It depends on the course. I may mention some schools and they might not have your course. Try lousiana state university, embry riddle aeronautical university,Prescott, university of maryland, Baltimore but you have to mail the graduate coordinator and ask for application fee waiver

wisepluto:
Who knows anyone writing GRE soon. I have a fantastic Princeton material that helped me a great deal. Will give it out for free, though it cost me some dough when I got it.

Please can you kindly share to me juliuscapp@gmail.com

Thank you!

Morning people, kindly criticize my proposed transcript

VO: Good morning

Me: Good morning ma or sir

VO: Can I have your I-20 and passport

Me: Sure, why not?

VO: Why are you going to US?

Me: I am going to the US because PhD in the US distinguishes itself in terms of research and mentorship. The PhD is structured into coursework and thesis, this will make me grounded in both theoretical and practical areas of my chosen line of research. Academic mentorship is also direct in the US, thereby having direct and ongoing mentorship with my thesis advisor until the completion of my studies. Also, studying in the US will expose to me to latest research in the field, prioritized by the US CDC and funded by National Institute of Health.

VO: Where are you going in the US?

Me: I am going to United States for a PhD in Bioenvironmental Science with concentration in Environmental Health Science at Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland. This will enhance my competencies in understanding the impact of environmental variables on biological systems, especially on chronic and endemic infectious diseases in Nigeria. Upon completion, I will return to Nigeria to take up academic and research positions with utmost aim of identifying the effect of these health challenges in Nigeria health sector. Also, I hope to work on the best diagnostic, management and treatment approach of these infectious diseases from the environmental point of view.

VO: How many schools did you apply to and how many gave you admission?
Me: I applied to MSU, ETSU, University of Salford, University of Otago and WIU and four gave me admission.

VO: How did you hear about the school?

Me: I did an intensive online search, focusing on the schools that combined Biomedical Science and Environmental Health Science together owing to my academic and research background. I am a Biomedical Scientist by undergraduate degree and did my MSc in Environmental and Public Health. Also, my academic mentor at the University of Salford recommended the school to me because of the brilliant research work going on in the university in the field of biological and environmental health science.

VO: And why Morgan State University?

Me: The Ph.D. program in Bioenvironmental Science at Morgan integrates strong academic training, fundamental and applied research practices which focuses on an array of environmental issues that affect biological systems. In addition, the program has five areas of concentration which include: Environmental Toxicology, Environmental Science, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Health Sciences, and Environmental Biotechnology. My area of concentration will be Environmental Health Science. Also, there is an active ongoing research on Hepatitis C virus and HIV which is my area of research interest. Apart from the fact that it is my area of research interest, I have work and research experience in the field of viral hepatitis and HIV. Also, Morgan State University excellently combined these courses together with structured curriculum that will allow me to choose my area of concentration after completion of my core courses. The tuition fee is also moderate and has multi-cultural environment with the hope of transcultural exchange of ideas.

VO: How long is the program?

Me: The program is for maximum period of five years and I hope to finish within four years.

VO: How many credit hours is your program?

Me: I will take a minimum of 33 credit hours which will include core 22-credit hours courses such as cellular biology, toxicology of biological systems, seminar on modern biology and bio-environmental science, advances in Biochemistry, environmental chemistry, bioethics and communication. I will take additional 11 minimum credit hours chosen from elective courses which will include Microbiology of emerging pathogens, immunobiology, advanced molecular genetics, modern research techniques, environmental genetics, environmental carcinogenesis. Five core courses will be taken in year 1 and seminar, this will qualify me to write the comprehensive exam to become a PhD candidate at the end of first year.

VO: Can you tell me about yourself?

Me: I hold a Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science degree from Bleep and Master of Science degree in Environmental and Public Health from Bleep. I recently completed my internship job at Bleep hospital, England with focus on diagnosis, management and treatment of sexually transmitted infections in the community.

VO: What are you doing now?

Me: I am currently a freelance medical researcher and I also tutor students at various College of Health Technology in Southwest, Nigeria.

VO: Do you get paid for it?

Me: Yes, I get paid

VO: What will you be working for your research thesis?

Me: I will be working on the co-infection of HIV and Hepatitis C Virus in Dr. Chen’s lab in susceptible people such as MSM, Drug users and sex workers. He has an ongoing research in this area and we’ve discussed about taking up research assistant position in the laboratory on resumption at the University.

VO: What’s your highest qualification?

Me: Master of Science degree in Environmental and Public Health, from Bleep.

VO: What were the processes involved in the application?

Me: I wrote GRE, SOP, Reference letter and made my application with these documents. My degree evaluation was sent by WES to the University. I had Distinction which is 3.72/4.0 in my MSc and the best student on my course.

VO: So, you’ve travelled out of the country before?

Me: Yes, I have been to six countries, mostly Europe and USA.

VO: Who is sponsoring you?

Me: I got a funding of $18,000. This came after the I-20 was issued and I have a letter to support that. Other expenses will be taken care of by my uncle. He has been supportive since my undergraduate. He promised to sponsor my PhD if I get an excellent grade in my MSc, which I did. I graduated with a distinction and as the best student in my cohort.

VO: What does your uncle do?

Me: He is into exportation of Agricultural products such as cashew nuts, cocoa, charcoal into countries such as Vietnam, China etc.

VO: Why are your parents not sponsoring you?

Me: They are retired.

VO: Are you married?

Me: Yes, I am married with a daughter.

VO: Are they going with you?

Me: No

VO: Who will be responsible for their upkeep while you are away?

Me: My wife is working and also have some savings for them.

VO: And will she be comfortable leaving you?

Me: Before we got married, I told her of my willingness to pursue a PhD in a reputable university as Morgan, and when the offer came she was
very supportive.

VO: What do you intend to do after your study?

Me: I will be coming back to Nigeria to work as a lecturer at Bleep University because I did some collaborative research work there. I will also engage in high level research on Hepatitis C virus and HIV among Nigeria population which will seek to proffer a solution to how to reduce the incidence of these chronic diseases in Nigeria.

VO: I will be approving your visa.

Me: Thank you and God bless

The VO might not ask you the question if you're going with your family or not since you didn't apply with them atm. S/he knows you'll apply for them soonest... Your proposed transcript look great. You shall testify...

Morning people, kindly criticize my proposed transcript

VO: Good morning

Me: Good morning ma or sir

VO: Can I have your I-20 and passport

Me: Sure, why not?

VO: Why are you going to US?

Me: I am going to the US because PhD in the US distinguishes itself in terms of research and mentorship. The PhD is structured into coursework and thesis, this will make me grounded in both theoretical and practical areas of my chosen line of research. Academic mentorship is also direct in the US, thereby having direct and ongoing mentorship with my thesis advisor until the completion of my studies. Also, studying in the US will expose to me to latest research in the field, prioritized by the US CDC and funded by National Institute of Health.

VO: Where are you going in the US?

Me: I am going to United States for a PhD in Bioenvironmental Science with concentration in Environmental Health Science at Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland. This will enhance my competencies in understanding the impact of environmental variables on biological systems, especially on chronic and endemic infectious diseases in Nigeria. Upon completion, I will return to Nigeria to take up academic and research positions with utmost aim of identifying the effect of these health challenges in Nigeria health sector. Also, I hope to work on the best diagnostic, management and treatment approach of these infectious diseases from the environmental point of view.

VO: How many schools did you apply to and how many gave you admission?
Me: I applied to MSU, ETSU, University of Salford, University of Otago and WIU and four gave me admission.

VO: How did you hear about the school?

Me: I did an intensive online search, focusing on the schools that combined Biomedical Science and Environmental Health Science together owing to my academic and research background. I am a Biomedical Scientist by undergraduate degree and did my MSc in Environmental and Public Health. Also, my academic mentor at the University of Salford recommended the school to me because of the brilliant research work going on in the university in the field of biological and environmental health science.

VO: And why Morgan State University?

Me: The Ph.D. program in Bioenvironmental Science at Morgan integrates strong academic training, fundamental and applied research practices which focuses on an array of environmental issues that affect biological systems. In addition, the program has five areas of concentration which include: Environmental Toxicology, Environmental Science, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Health Sciences, and Environmental Biotechnology. My area of concentration will be Environmental Health Science. Also, there is an active ongoing research on Hepatitis C virus and HIV which is my area of research interest. Apart from the fact that it is my area of research interest, I have work and research experience in the field of viral hepatitis and HIV. Also, Morgan State University excellently combined these courses together with structured curriculum that will allow me to choose my area of concentration after completion of my core courses. The tuition fee is also moderate and has multi-cultural environment with the hope of transcultural exchange of ideas.

VO: How long is the program?

Me: The program is for maximum period of five years and I hope to finish within four years.

VO: How many credit hours is your program?

Me: I will take a minimum of 33 credit hours which will include core 22-credit hours courses such as cellular biology, toxicology of biological systems, seminar on modern biology and bio-environmental science, advances in Biochemistry, environmental chemistry, bioethics and communication. I will take additional 11 minimum credit hours chosen from elective courses which will include Microbiology of emerging pathogens, immunobiology, advanced molecular genetics, modern research techniques, environmental genetics, environmental carcinogenesis. Five core courses will be taken in year 1 and seminar, this will qualify me to write the comprehensive exam to become a PhD candidate at the end of first year.

Those that refuse to air on the side of caution always get their results in no time.

The guy went and told a blatant lie and still has the temerity to call out those that cautioned him for good and an agent that did nothing wrong.

mayd16:


Non was a lie bro, i was close to been issued if i had told the vo i had a sis

How can you apply for a B1/B2 last year and still go ahead to say you don't have a sister in the US? When you tell them not to go close to the embassy or even fill out the DS160 without a strong reason they'll tell you you don't want them to progress.

You hired an agent and the application did not go through and you want to prove to him that you can do without him, now that you have failed you want to go back. Do you know that you're done? I am very sure the salary information on both DS160 would be different and many other things. You failed when you refused to work with the agent to get your previous details before filling the second DS160.

You have materially impaired your chances and it is now a tall order to get a US Visa.

Way forward: call the agent and have a meeting with him to compare both applications. Look at the discrepancies and evaluate your chances. Whatever the outcome of the meeting, be aware that you yourself have dealt your chances of securing a US Visa a great blow by that singular act of misrepresentation. It is has been recorded on your file.
