Here is my proposed transcript.. any help i can get will b welcomed ��

*** Good morning

CONSULAR: Pass Your Passport and i-20 Please

CONSULAR: Why Are You Going to the US?
ME: I am going to the us to study masters in physics in Texas A and M university

CONSULAR: Why the US?
ME: There is a very high level of teaching and research at US Universities, and I would have immense opportunities to learn from highly qualified professors in the field of physics.
CONSULAR: How Did You Get This School? / How Did You Hear About This School?
ME: I first read about Texas A & M during my search for universities that offers specialised courses in physics on usnews and report. I then came up with 5 schools and later streamlined the list and applied to 3schools which all offered me admission.

CONSULAR: How Many Schools Did You Apply To?
ME: I applied to 3 universities! University of Idaho, Connecticut state university, Texas A and M University,

CONSULAR: What Do All These Schools Have In Common?
ME: They all offer Masters in Physics and I applied to them because I meet the program admission requirement.


CONSULAR: Why Did You Choose this School?
ME: I Choose Texas A & M University because I was awarded a graduate assistantship that covers my entire tuition and fees. More importantly, there is an ongoing research that align with my career interest and essential for professional advancement in the physics sector I hope to work upon my return to Nigeria. The program curriculum structure stands out compare to other schools I applied to. For example, I will be learning about experimental research in solid state physics, x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron, auger electron, appearance potential spectroscopy of surfaces, signal analysis of speech signals, microcomputer hardware and software development, and digital electronics. Other schools I applied to do not offer all these courses combined. So getting a degree from this school will not only equip me with the expertise to be highly employable, but will also deepens my technical know-how to work better as a physicist.


CONSULAR: Why Masters in physics)?
ME: Master's in physics are highly paid in this \country because it's a rare field that is growing up so fast in this country. I already have a bachelor of science in physics and due to my love and desire to work and advance this field, a master degree in physics will allow me to understand advanced areas of physics that my undergraduate studies did not teach me. \

CONSULAR: Tell Me About Your Academic Background?
ME: I studied physics in Delta State University Abraka and graduated in 2015
CONSULAR: what have u been doing since u graduated?
In 2016, i worked as IT at HBB integrated service limited, after which I went for a compulsory NYSC program in 2017.
After my service, i got employed at LEE construction company which is where am working curently


CONSULAR: What are those courses you’ll be taking/ Tell me about your program?
ME: The masters in physics is a 30 credit hour program and I am expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate in 2 years. I will be taking courses such as electricity and magnetism, mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, and I will be carrying out a research at the end of every semester.


CONSULAR: Tell me about your Research?
ME: I will be researching on Organic semiconductor physics, and there is another research called Surface science research. The surface physics in physics laboratory at Texas A & M University -Commerce offers a wide variety of experimental research opportunities including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and soft x-ray and so on.


CONSULAR: Did You Write Any Standardized Test?
ME: Yes, I wrote the GRE test

CONSULAR: Are you married?
ME: NO

CONSULAR: Have You Travelled Before?
ME: No, had no reason to
CONSULAR: Do u have anybody in the US?
Me: Yes, my elder brother
CONSULAR: whats its status?
Me: pending permanent residence
Consular:Is he married?
Me : yes he is married

CONSULAR: Who Is Paying For This? / Who Is Sponsoring You?
ME: I have a full scholarship and My elder brother here in Nigeria will support
Consular: what does he do?
Me : he works in chevron Nigeria limited as a senior staff
Consular : how many children does he have?
Just 2

CONSULAR: What are your career plans / What is your plan after graduation?
ME: There are many lucrative job opportunities in my field here in Nigeria, I will Return back to Nigeria and use the expertise this degree will equip me with to achieve my utmost career goal which is to become a geophysicist in various oil firms. because I will be highly employable since this is a new field that is not fully explored in this country yet...
CONSULAR: What will this course do for you??
Me: Masters degree in physics will allow me to understand advanced area of physics that my undergraduate studies dis not teach me. And also, it will enable me to possess the knowledge and expertise required to work in various oil firms and industries in nigeria

segunbolawole:
Calvary greetings to you my genuine Nigerians

Is it OK I request the V.O glance thru the flow chart of my business model as part of my reasons for the degree

Thats if I'm asked the question on why the school and course.

What do you guys think please

Mayflowa:


Texas A & M is renowned in the world. So I don’t think you would have any stress with the CO. However you answers are neither here or there. They are too general. Your interview is going to be short, so you need to be specific. For example. Why US. You can say US schools is known for quality and that is why chose US education. How did you find out about the School. You were looking at top US universities that specialize in geophysicist since your undergraduate was physics and you were able to zero in on Texas A & M. Since you mention geophysicist, the CO would most likely ask you what the course would do for you. You can now fire that there is a huge deficiency in the amount of geophysicist in Nigeria and most of the seismic evaluations are done by expatriate. And the course would prepare you to participate in the oil field development in your country. That way you have established home ties.
You full scholarship is even enough to cover. On your i20 you should notice this. Goodluck

I had my interview at the US consulate yesterday. It was pretty basic/generic but here goes:
VO: Where are you going?
Mell

Time2win:


Exactly. I think they are sending a message. I have seen like 3 fully funded offer rejected. Whether there is funding or not, one has to be fully prepared.

pstfrancis:
Pls can I book my visa interview with my 3 month old validity international passport? Pls help a soul.

dumbiri99:

Fully funded with no deficit? Post their transcripts

dumbiri99:

Fully funded with no deficit? Post their transcripts

Brown2Green:


I don't know if because it was mentioned that fully funded are getting a smooth interview, they became complacent or whatever.

You have zero deficits doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to answer questions.

Infact, a friend going to Stanford with Fellowship was drilled for 3 minutes and he had to answer all the questions.


Funding or no funding , one must be very apt and spontaneous in response.


The VO always has a reason for denial.

solihp:
Thank you everyone for your inputs, they were duly noted. I have paid another visa fee and I would reapply immediately. Thanks alot

Omorwumi:
pls where is your traveling agent located @

Omorwumi:
pls where is your traveling agent located @

dumbiri99:

You are right but
I've seen many boring transcripts approved just cos of zero deficit. They try to hide it but they aren't really interested in what we have to say

solihp:


Travelling agent . I did all processes by myself. And that is what this thread is all about, we encourage people to do it themselves

Omorwumi:
pls can I have your number.

Brown2Green:


Well.. That's why the VO took them unawares this time around.

solihp:


This thread(the current and previous parts) is all you need ma. Ask your questions here and the gurus will answer you, as you can see, i am still learning myself.

dumbiri99:

The ones being denied have funding but with deficit and good transcripts/responses

Omotomi05:
Good morning all
Please who knows any available date for visa appointment in Lagos
A friend need it urgently. Thanks in anticipation

Felizz:
Please gurus in the house kindly review these for me.
Am still having issues with why my course of study to Vo
the expertise in the house kindly help.

Vo. Why student affairs and Educational Justice

Me:i am so passionate about student affiars and Educational justice because my experience as an undergraduate brought alot of dilemma and challenges to me and these challenges are but limited to inadequate infrastructure, instructional material, student seminars and institutional framework.
And by empirical literature and my experience nigeria universities are characterized with analogue student affairs management, discretionally fixing of lectures and test, uncoordinated Unionism, political interference and other forms of injustices to students
And all these challenges negatively influence student comforts and academic performance in Nigeria university.
Considering these fact i develop a research interest in student affairs Management and how this factors culminate to injustices as well affecting student performance in Nigeria university.
Therefore study student affairs and educational justices in claremount graduate university will allow me to master the art of student management in both pratical and theory term and after earning these degree i will apply the knowledge gain in the management of staff and student affairs to nigeria university and most employed Tertiary staff in nigeria have little or no basic academic skills in student affairs management hence my intention is to build a career in students affairs and educational justices that is lacking in nigeria educational system and these will allow me to design a structure,process and research to ensure student comfort and academic performance.

I know is too long pls kindly help.thanks
