Congratulations

kinibd:
I was denied the first time on December 31st 2018 at the Lagos Embassy, My original I 20 got to me on the 2nd of January and so I had to go with a scanned copy for the interview and the first question the VO asked me then was why did I come with a scanned copy, I told her that the original was still on transit and the look on her face was not encouraging and after asking me why this school and who will be sponsoring me, I got the pink paper and so I went back and requested for another I 20, made sure I got it then booked another interview at abuja

Got to the Abuja Embassy,

Me: Good morning (while smiling)

VO: Good morning pass me your passport please

Me: Passes Pasport while still smiling

VO: I can see from your F1 that you are applying for a student Visa can I see that

Me: Yes I am while passing the F1

VO: Have you ever been out of the country before?

Me : Yes I had my first degree in Ghana

VO: What did you study

Me: ICT

VO: What?

Me: Information and Communication Technology

VO: while typing...I dont see anything like that here

Me : I filled it in it should be there

VO: Oh i see it now...calls the name of my school and I nod then he asks how many schools gave me admission

Me : two schools

VO: what schools

Me: St Clouds State University and Concordia University St Paul

VO: Why did you choose St Clouds

Me: i chose St Clouds because of a couple of reasons, firstly they have a Business Computer Research Laboratory Equipped with workstations and enterprise level servers for research and teaching purposes and...

VO : cuts me off, yes well all schools in the usa have very good laboratories tell me why you chose this school

Me: well at the Laboratories at St Cloud, they create virtual machines that are used to support teaching database auditing  and networking packets  dumping and analyses and also...

VO: cuts me off again...well most schools have that as well

Me: Oh well then i chose them because they gave me a scholarship

VO: oh really, (looks at my I 20) well your scholarship is for $3000 and your total fees is about 19,000, how are you going to take care of the rest

Me: oh no, my Tuition and Fees is $9,500

VO: looks at I 20 again, okay so who is going to be paying for the rest

Me: My Parents

VO: what do they do

Me: My mom whose statement I have is blablabla

VO: I'm sorry what?

Me: my mom is blablabla and my dad is blablabla

VO: How did you hear about the school?

Me: One of my undergraduate course lecturer went to St. Clouds for a seminar and when he came back, he couldnt stop talking about the school and their laboratories and when i started searching for schools online to pursue my masters degree and St Cloud popped up again, i checked them out and the course they offered alligned with my career goals.

VO: Types for a while. Looks at me. So what are you going to be doing after you finish this program?

Me: The number of internet users in Nigeria has grown from about 20% of the population in 2010 to more than 50% of the population today and the more people that use the internet, the more networks there are, the more security there needs to be on them, this course will help me institute policies that protect organizations physical data and digital information and so i could become an IT consultant, I know i can, i tried to infuse what i learnt in my under graduate studies into my dads business by setting up a website and also creating a program that helps keep track of stock records.

VO: Can i see your bank statement

Me: passes it

VO: I am going to check this out and if I find anything wrong you will be banned from entering the USA, do you understand

Me: yes I do.

VO: types for a while, take this paper, (he gives me a white slip) you have to keep it safe because you will need it to enter the United States. Then he types for a while and gives me a yellow paper and says again if i find anything wrong with this account you will be banned, are you sure you still want to submit it

Me: Yes Sir

VO: okay welcome to the United States and make sure you keep that white slip safe ok

Me (while smiling) : okay sir thank you very much.

I hope this helps someone, I owe it all to God, I prayed like I had not prepared at all and I prepared like I had not prayed at all but its all the grace of God.

Last Bullet: I was so tensed the first time and so while rehearsing my answers for the second time, i noticed that smiling made me more relaxed and that was how i was able to overcome any nervousness, by smiling almost all through the interview.

Okay I support this, I have been in the UNITED STATE going to 2 years now and I can say WALSPRING is the man to trust when it comes to any transaction.. He paid mine too

Humble11:
For those yet to pay their sevis fee, @walspring is very reliable. He helped me make sevis fee payment and it reflected on fmjfee.com within 24hours

anikemoses:
How are u doing buddy.it’s been a while

Daodudavid:
Now that I’ve gotten that out the way, where are my goons in this forum, Mrslagosismyhome, Engr Remi, bright, walgreen etc ?
Also if you have your visa already and you are heading towards NYC you’re welcome to DM me please for any assistance with temporary accommodation and job hunt for you guys that’s the lease I could do as giving back to this forum

Engr remi is here making dollars silently...However, that's my bro, if you need help in NYC he's got your head and toe. Well, I rep TN king. Holla at me and i got you! Remember: whoever must come to equity, must come with what.....................................??

Shoutout to those who got visa already! Shoutout to those awaiting visa interview with positive attitude of having the visa already!

Well, visa interview should not be taken lightly. There's a saying that says whoever that fail to plan will inevitably plan to fail. You have seen a lot of testimonies that carries my moniker. No be me do am ooooooo.. Ngwam! God just use me to help them improve their weak point and make necessary corrections. Forget, the issue of going to a community college or university. If you prove your studentship, you will get the visa. It has happened on this thread, irrespective of your age (Its rare tho). But, believe in yourself and your God. there's Luck and there's God, whichever way you wanna put it. But as for me and my household, we believe in God almighty. Preparation is the key. Confident skyhigh. I am telling you as you prepare for your interview, have in your mind and digest this few points;

1. Be prepared for it. read, read and read. rehearse and rehearse, but not too much that you will sound rehearsed on the interview day and blow your chances like balloon. This VO are psychologists. They will scrutinize you and walk through you mind until you gbagaaan! But if you re prepared. No shaking! shoutout to 2baba

2. First impression matters. You go there with a strong face as if your village people dey follow you. You will get a strong impression from the VO back (You know what i mean). But let me tell you, no matter the scenario surrounding the interview proper, if na strong or cool, Our God is an awesome God. Nobody can stop you!

3. Maintain Eye contact. Eye contact passes a strong message of confidence. I look the lady as if dem born us together. Na wetin make me like girls be that (Na joke ooo)

4. Be respectful! Those oyinbo sabi your culture! Be humble!

5. Mind your own business. Don't feel dejected because someone was denied right in front of you. Una no pay visa fees together. You guys dont have the same surname. Carry your cross!

6. Smile intermittently during the course of the interview!

7. Even if you're denied. Refire! don't be weighed down, dejected or lost because of a single failure! I failed 3 times! (See me bouncing today)

8. Give love and you will get love back!

9. Hit me up for mock!

10. I am heading to bed!

Wish all 2019 visa hopeful all the best! Go and make me proud!

Happy Easter to you all. Miss the Family!

So much ginger in one post

Hi everyone.
I'm a 2020 M.Sc fall aspirant, although with a low profile. An undegraduate 3.0 CGPA in a scale of 5, GRE 275. I wish to study Animal science/veterinary science in the US, B.Sc was animal related and I would gladly appreciate a list of schools that can offer admission and possibly funding. I have had 3years work experience in relation to my proposed field of study.

And if you will not waste the dollars, you'll not waste the time where unnecessary . Nice

First off, I'm glad you wanna move forward by going for an MSC.

However, with a 3.0/5 and 275 in the GRE, you aren't showing the school any academic strength if you ask me. There is still time before the fall 2020 cycle opens and I'd advice you actually take your time to prepare for another GRE for then would your chances be stronger.
Try to also build up your extracurriculars.

For the list of schools with funding, that's a job you might need to do the research yourself. And if you're lucky, someone might actually post it here for you.

Your GRE scores are damn bad. See your AWA, too poor. Please go and rewrite the GRE

Hello Everyone,

Please I need your advice. In most cases your passport or travel document must be valid for at least six months after your arrival in the United States.


https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/forms/ds-160-online-nonimmigrant-visa-application/ds-160-faqs.html


The gist is that my passport will expire on December 28th 2019 & I plan to have my interview on or before June 14...

So I plan to Renew it between interview and travelling since Immigration says they cannot renew my passport until 6months to expiry...

My question is hope the VO won't have a problem with the expiry date?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello House, please I will appreciate anyone who can help with a healty statement of account or can give the link to someone who can help. The purpose is for my interview. Am open to any private message in my email just as am ready to follow up any member to pm too.
Thanks.

Have you taken the GRE? That should be the first step before mailing the admissions office. Focus on it and get the best score you can get. Schools will always be there. You can do all the school research you want to do after getting a stellar GRE score.
