SHARWAMA'S APPROVED VISA TRANSCRIPT.
Date: June 7, 2019
Venue: Lagos Consulate
Time:6:30 a.m
Gender of VO: Male
Window: I Didn't notice, I was blown away by his cuteness and jerry curl grin grin grin
Ok it was the second to last window, before the exit door.
I: (Smiling) Good morning sir
V.O: Good morning, please pass me your passport and your I-20.
I did and he was like "please push your passport a little bit further". I pushed it and asked, "is it okay now sir?"
VO: Yes it is. Why are you going to the US
I: (deep breath + killer smile) To uhm, pursue a masters degree in Biology, Biomedical Science Concentration at East Tennessee State University, Johnson City Tennessee.
V.O: Why this degree?
I: I really want to work as a research scientist at a renowned biomedical research Institute here in Nigeria. Unfortunately, a masters degree in Biology or a closely related field is the minimum requirement for such a position. So this degree would not just help me hone my research skills or build my critical thinking, it would qualify me for the position I really want, when I return.
V.O: So why did you pick this school?
I: (Gesticulating with magical hands) For me, it wasn't just about the generous funding I received, which I am extremely grateful for by the way, it had a lot more to do with the student-faculty relationship I have built with my potential supervisor, professor Burna boy. We Skyped a couple of times and we have chosen a thesis topic I am super excited about.
V.O: What other schools did you apply to?
I: I applied at Texas A&M University, Commerce
VO: uhum(while typing)
I: Cleveland State University Ohio and Kansas State University Manhattan Kansas.
VO: Have you travelled out of the country before?
I: I have not had the need to sir.
VO: Are you married
I: No sir
V.O: You said you have funding, let me see the evidence
I: My school did not give me an official letter but it's on the I-20(I pointed at the document so he looked at it)
V.O: Ok I see $9590 to be payed by someone ,who is this?
I: That's my mum sir
V.O: What does she do?
I: My mum is a business woman, she sells African fabrics and traditional bridal attires
V.O: Yes do you have any proof, I want to see evidence.
I was confused and he mentioned "or bank statement"
I: (Killer smile)Yes, with all pleasure. Just a moment please.
So I got the bank statement
V.O(while looking at the statement) Doesn't your mum have other children to sponsor in school?
I: (I never expected that question, so my English technically failed me, so I looked at him and answered) All of us have finished school, it remainder two of us.
I was so embarrassed about my grammatical blunder but I was glad he understood the point, we were all done with school except two of my siblings.
V.O: Ok, I will be approving your Visa. He hands me the white paper. Talked about pick up in three working days, gave me back my SOA and I-20, asked me to keep it carefully and I would need the latter at the port of entry... Told me to have a wonderful day
I: (Killer smile) Thank you and have a wonderful rest of the day too.
Yup, I bounced out of the building grin
THE END grin grin grin

But why is it that Nigerians are always the first to here news and fake rumors about USA and even we living here don’t hear anything?
For USA to place such a huge ban on something like banning F1 visas , it is not a day job. It can take years to approve something like that. Even trump cant just wake up one morning and say he wants to ban something, it has to go through Congress, and most of the things he has brought up Congress no even Dey answer am. Even till today, they no answer am for the WALL!!

I was interviewed by the lady on window 7.

Vo: Asked for my I-20 and passport.
Me: Passed it to her.
Vo: She looked at my I-20 and asked how I got the scholarship.
Me: My SAT score of 1420 ( she repeated the score) , Average GPA of A- , Letter of recommendation, admission essay and resume ( I didn't finish this).
Vo: Which other university did you apply to ?
Me: SIUE, Washington and Lee, and Wheeling Jesuit.
Vo: What do you plan to after graduation ?
Me: After the completion of my bachelor's program, I hope to return to work with the innovative tech firms like Andela ( she cut me off here)
Vo: Have any relation in the US?
Me: No.

Congratulations your visa has been approved , pick up your passport in three days at the circled location, make sure you take your I-20 it will be needed at the port of entry. She gave the white paper.

My interview didn't last up to two minutes. I feel she already decided to give me the visa when she saw the scholarship. Cos the questions she asked me , she was looking at her computer prolly crosschecking with what I had filled in my DS-160 form.

Thanks to all who reviewed my proposed transcript, Brown2Green, Leone26 and special thanks to Fairheart for the mock interview.


CONGRATULATIONS to you Brother!
May Almighty God bless your new journey

I was thinking not to share a ‘delayed’ visa transcript Incase anything goes wrong (coz of shame lol) but after a deep thought, I realized people learn from both approved and delayed transcript!

My transcript yesterday 14-06-2019 at Abuja Embassy (2nd attempt) first was in Lagos, December 4th 2018 (am always meeting a man as Vo lol)

N.B: these are just what I can remember (95% but not 100% )

Vo- good morning and how are you?
Me- am fine, thank you and happy America’s flag day
Vo- oooook (looking suprised) thank you.
Why are you going to Troy ?
Me- to pursue my second bachelors degree in computer and information science
Vo- (stoped typing and focused on me, looking straight into my eyes) why second bachelor?

Secondly, job opportunity; you see sir, this program already guarante me a job opportunity with the EFCC through my uncle working at their operation department in lagos.
Vo: (looking satisfied and going back to his typing) Why did you choose Troy ?
Me- apart from the partial scholarship given to me and the academic excellence Troy is known for, I chose Troy coz their course structure is more flexible and their curriculum perfectly suit my study plan .
Vo- (also looking satisfied) ooook!
Vo- what othe school did you choose ?
Me - Minot State University
Vo- who is your sponsor ?
Me - (although I filled my step father in my ds160)
My mother and my step father
Vo- do you have any proof of your mother sponsoring you ?
Me- I only have my step father’s here
Vo- pls gv it to me (opened the first page and start doing some calculations)
Vo- I regret to inform you bla bla bla ....

NB: Deficits was 7.6M and the account balance was 12.4M (the account was very legit, not fake, I just don’t know what happened, only God knows )

I just want to thank everyone contributing to this thread one way or the other, I pray God be with you and may you always see his favor too. I learnt a lot here tho .

And to @fairheart, God bless you for conducting mock for me a night to my interview (even tho you were angry that I was jus asking for a mock a night to lol) am deeply grateful.

I think it’s time to let go of America’s dream lol
Money no too dey for now again lol

i really think you should be going for a Masters degree , not another BSc, and you mentioned passion and choice as a reason for going for another degree, i really don't think that's convincing at all....don't give up, try and go for a MSc and prepare better

So you don't know you can do MSc in that course even if you don't have a related Bsc degree and still gain relevant knowledge. It's not always advisable to go for a second Bsc. Shoot for Msc please.

i really think you should be going for a Masters degree , not another BSc, and you mentioned passion and choice as a reason for going for another degree, i really don't think that's convincing at all....don't give up, try and go for a MSc and prepare better

I had a similar experience.The point he gave may not be excellent but are fair enough.He could have just talk about passion and personalize it with a short story.
Jobs should have been left out...it is okay to say it offers more opportunities!
However,the reason I see for the denial is not this response but the SOA.The calculations the VO they make shows he wasn't convince about something and he mentioned co-sponsored whereas he has only one SOA.If he has both it may have changed the complexion.
I told the VO co-sponsored last year and she gave me a funny 'family is struggling financially look'.
Another could have approved though!

Going for a second Bsc is not advisable. IT is a field that welcomes everybody irrespective of background. It's better to go through Msc route

The reason of denial has Nothing to do with SOA.
The VO has denied him since the point he mentioned going for a second Bsc.

I was thinking not to share a ‘delayed’ visa transcript Incase anything goes wrong (coz of shame lol) but after a deep thought, I realized people learn from both approved and delayed transcript!

Why did you highlight that it's your second degree.... usually you only highlight selling points and that's not a selling point. If its me i would have answered without mentioning that and only mention if it came up

Good morning everyone. Thank you to everyone who gave their advice and suggestions the last time I made a post about my denied visa.

After deliberating about it, I’m coming close to waiting for spring 2020 so maybe I can get some funding from schools to boost my chances. But I’m still of a mind to reapply for the visa to the university I chose, though I have no funding for that.

My profile: GRE: 309, TOEFL: 105, GPA: 3.05/5

My question is, should I refire with a new transcript I’m working on or it’s more advisable to go with a funded program. Thank you.

Thanks � I see this as a better course of action.

fairheart:
Hi, let your husband visits you later, or you will guys will be making impression that you're migrating. Apply for your visa alone, except this is the underlying plan?
It is NOT NECESSARY that he follows you. Go for your visa; husband can come for visit later.
Best of luck!

would it not make logical sense that you go for a PHD instead, with the present perception of Nigerians, and you being denied a B1/B2 recently you come off as desperate going for another MS degree, In my opinion, I would advise you shelve this idea of a second Msc and apply for a Phd you may be able to get funding as well

Philtos:


Good morning.
I appreciate you for your kind assistance. Thank you.

Alright, I chose Food Science in AAMU because the school offers five Concentrations that i can pick from. but Food product development which covers my three most important passion - Food security, food safety and product development and acceptability is what I chose. i am excited about picking a research in Flavor technology and this concentration offers me that opportunity.(I hope this works).

Food technology and Food Science are like a twin indeed but the major difference is simply in the difference between technology and science. specifically, Food Technology entails courses like Food engineering; heat and mass transfer, material balance, process control etc.
on the other hand, Food Science include courses like but not limited to Food Chemistry, Microbiology, Biochemistry.

need i say that i had a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering.

Secondly, the second admission is MS in Chemistry. I chose that because I want to pursue a PhD in Food Science and Flavor Chemistry and honing my skills in analytical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry is crucial.

Thank you.

I tried applying for msc, but my applications were rejected in both schools, they said I didn’t have a foundational course in computer science hence, I can’t be considered.
That was why I just went for bsc
