CptCharlesVane:
Dude, you really believe in creationism With the wealth of information available?
The vacuum you talk about is depicted in your essay, and sadly it is a vacuum of knowledge.

As DeGrasse Tyson says, 'God' is the ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance." That is to say the more ignorant you are of the nature and working of things (universe, plants, animals, insects, advanced soceities etc) the bigger your god. Ponder on this for a moment, and let it challenge you to seek knowledge, at least to know an alternate explanation for the universe if by some slim chance your 'God' happened not to create anything. One doesn't need to know all the science but only read and learn from professionals who've devoted their lives to studying nature, the universe ... whatever

Again, "The gods people worship look like them and desires what they desire" Any wonder why the Nigerian god grants visas and loooves money, fraud and fraudsters? The almighty God of the chimps wouldn't be a dog, would it? Even if it was, it would surely crack nuts with their bum

Again, Twoods is right in his description of Christianity and its God. You only need to read the 4 gospels to know the kind of man/God Jesus was and contrast that with the charade of pentecostalism and its 'america wonder' Jesus in Nigeria. It's very easy to tell those who have actually read the bible in context.

This thread is for aspiring intellectuals but it is underwhelming disappointing the way it's all about God. People can't post useful information before fantasising about their cherished beliefs. Don't you guys even in the least reason that there are even more people getting US visas that don't believe in what you believe?

Religion and gods should be personal, whatever rocks your boat, but don't come here asking people to fast and pray for a visa when Leah Sharibu and others have been in captivity since forever and Nigeria tops countries with highest persecution of christians. Seriously, what are the priorities of this Nigerian visa god?

Pray, fast, sacrifice a goat, whatever but let's leave those for our churches, and shrines. I've observed that the Muslim God isn't mentioned much here, maybe he isn't in charge of visas

Haha. Reads like an excerpt from El Nathan John's Becoming Nigerian.

Pls I need help with my proposed transcript.

V.O: Why are you going to the US?
I: To pursue a masters degree in Criminal Justice/Safety Studies at Grand Valley State Uni.,Allendale,Michigan.

V.O: WHY THIS DEGREE?
I :
♡With respect to my career plan which is to be a crime analyst for the Anti-Robbery Department of the Nigeria police force,a master in Criminal justice or a closely security related discipline is a core requirement.
♡Considering that alot of field operatives would rely on the information I provide,this program would not only improve my mental understanding about crime but also equip me with virtually all the basic skills required to be a successful crime analyst for the Anti-Robbery Department of the Nigeria Police Force.

VO: HOW MANY SCHOOLS DID APPLY TO?
ME: 5 schools;Washington State Uni,Grand Valley State Uni,Northern Arizona State Uni,Uni of New Haven &Northeastern Uni.
VO: HOW MANY ADMIT & WHY GVSU?
ME:
♡3 admits, 1 pending & 1 reject.
My choice of institution was based on the availability of active or retired security personnel who are now lecturers. Fortunately for me,two of my professors for the fall semester were once police officers. Thus, the experiential knowledge gained would be highly influential as a crime analyst.
♡It has being my long standing opinion that GIS (Geographical information system) can be used to manage bank robbery. Thus, Prof. Cwick research on GIS and how it can be used to manage crime was a factor that influenced my choice for GVSU.
♡The course curriculum for this program and the timely responses were all major factors that influenced my decision to study @ GVSU
ME : Can I briefly say something?
♡ My admission to UNH came with a 30% scholarship but the deficit left when compared to what I have to pay @ GVSU is a bit high. This factor also influenced my decision to study @ GVSU.

VO: DID YOU WRITE ANY STANDARDIZED TEST
ME : No. While GRE was required for applicants whose GPA was below 3.0.,TOEFL was required only if the language instruction wasn't English.

VO:Who is sponsoring you??

ME: My grandfather.

VO: Why?

ME: My mum and I have lived with him since I was 6 and he has being responsible for my education since then. In addition,my mum is the only child.

Kindly help me critically dissect my proposed transcript.

A big shout out to Lagosismyhome, Fairheart and the rest of the guys that are dedicated to this thread.

Visa approved. Abuja

Me: Good morning!
VO: Good morning, your passport and I-20
(passed it)
VO: Have you ever traveled out of the country?
Me: Yes
VO: Which countries?
Me: A few countries in Europe and Africa (didn't say this. I just named them)
VO: Are you married?
Me: No
VO: What do you want to do with the degree?
Me: I intend to use the specialised skills that I'd acquire in organic synthesis to explore local plants with pharmaceutical (nodding) and cosmetic potential here in Nigeria where it is in abundance. (not as fluent as written but she got the point) I also wo.. (interrupts and passes white paper and explained when I'd get my passport back)

** I must admit, reading through this thread made me take my whole life's documents along. Birth certificate, bank statements, sponsor's letter of consent, waec, neco, nysc, association membership card, nepa bill, police clearance, estate levy etc except my GTB receipt. Well, better over-prepared than not at all.

Travel history and funding might have played a role for me but one thing I understood well and is the essence of the interview is that it is a non-immigrant visa application and everyone is presumed an immigrant until one proves otherwise at the interview. The DS-160 form is the other part, very important.

I prepared by anticipating a lot of questions that may arise from my submitted DS form, information on I-20, and my program...under the theme of "PROVE NON-IMMIGRANT INTENT" as the VOs on suspiscion of immigrant intent are by law, bound to reject such application.

Good luck to other hopefuls and those on AP.

It would be good practice to use an inverted pyramid approach in answering questions, sort of the style they use in writing newspapers where the all you need to know in an article is in the first paragraph. The interview is short, barely over 5 minutes and everyone gets interrupted at some point. so better to eliminate all the wordiness and go straight to the point. To the pith and core of the matter.

Good luck again. See you in Stockholm at this year's Nobel's.

TWoods:
James 3:10-11. I have to wonder what sort of “faith” you are building or what sort of “god” you’re appreciating when it’s so easy for you to curse and pound your fist anytime someone merely disagrees with you. Often all it takes is one post to expose the hypocrisy.

I apologise for the later part of my post. People get inspired/gingered in several ways, I am opined that people should do what works for them provided they don't hurt anyone in the process.

Congrats

please, I'm in need of helper here, I was denied last year and I applied again this year, I had posted earlier to seek assistance from this forum on how I can perform better in the interview this time around, but the person that wanted To Help me requested for money. As much as I would have loved to do that, I have spent almost all my savings on the application... please I don't know if I can get this favour for free in this forum and I promise to appreciate the kind gesture afterwards. my interview is scheduled to be 1st July.
THANKS

Please I need a swift response..

The name on my i20 is different from the name on the SOA am taking for interview..
Would this cause a problem?

Would you appreciate the kind gesture financially? I can send account details in advance ooo
I hope you won't make another post to report me indirectly as well
So I took out time to go through your profile, I saw a previous denial transcript and how you probably had to defer your admission(if I am correct)
I also sense desperation(I am sorry). So let's do it this way. Breathe, I mean it. Breathe
Have you addressed the loopholes in your previous attempt(s)?
Can you post your proposed transcript for the imminent interview?
I am also concerned about your hinted financial status. Do you really have a GENUINE sponsor?
Oya start telling the truth osiso so we know how to "help" you

Danikal:
Please I need a swift response..

The name on my i20 is different from the name on the SOA am taking for interview..

You are not paying anyone or buying data for us here in Nigeria, so please don't ask for a swift response next time
Please read my approved visa transcript and see where the VO asked about the sponsor's name on my I-20. Perhaps you haven't taken out time to READ your I-20.
It is not just a 3-paged document, it is a legal document and whatever is written on it, binds. Why do you think there's a column for your signature and that of your DSO?
If you want to change your sponsor, simply request a new I-20.
Don't allow the devil to use your visa chances to play candy crush
I wish you lots of wisdom.

We should always acknowledged God I mudane things like eating, sleeping and all

The truth is average Nigerian are serving God because of hardship and favour receiving or need from him, which suppose not to be so
God bless u

Thank you for this. Average Nigerian serves God because of the hardship in the land.
We had a discussion few weeks ago on why Nigerians abandon church few months after getting into the US, most answers pointed to "hypocrisy."

The devil is not responsible for the lax attitude of Nigerians to accountability. Most don’t realize that both the I-20 and DS-160 forms are legally binding documents... how do you justify telling the school that you have one sponsor then walk to the visa interview claiming someone else is now sponsoring you and expect to be taken seriously?
