Congratulations to you bro. You are a perfect example of NEVER GIVE UP! 4th attempt! Now, those who have been refused once, twice or 3 times can see what I have been saying. Denial is not always permanent. God bless you and enjoy your studies. It is surprising you still remember me.

VISA APPROVED @ 4th attempt

Date: Friday, 21st June 2019
Location: Abuja
Time: 7:30am Appointment
Status: Was on AP till 25th June when it turned ISSUED.

BACKGROUND
Previous attempts: 2 attempts in December 2017 for Ball State University (for Spring 2018) and an attempt in July 2018 for George Washington University (for Fall 2018) ....All at Lagos Consulate.

I posted past transcripts when I needed help in preparing for my 3rd attempt. I also posted my proposed transcript for the 3rd attempt, but I did not post the outcome because I was quitting then. Although there was no much difference between the proposed transcript for the 3rd attempt and the outcome other than that not all the questions I prepared for were asked.

However, I requested my admission be deferred to the following term (Spring 2019) only to be informed that admission to the program is strictly for Fall Terms. I requested it be deferred to Fall 2019.

Finally when I decided I was going to try the 4th time (which I promised it would be the final), I returned to this thread as a full-time reader, I chose not to ask any question because there are answers to all the questions that anyone would want to ask here already. I read every posts everyday 'as e dey drop'. I researched more about my school and program. I looked for unique features of my school and program, which I integrated into my proposed transcript. I did not post my proposed transcript because in my head, I was not returning to the embassy the 4th time for an interview but to go and talk (have a conversation)

I chose Abuja this time because I learnt there is a bit of serenity over there than Lagos; like not too crowdy and you could sit for a little while before joining the queue for interview (important for someone like me that doesn't like stress).

I had my conversation with the VO, an elderly white woman at window 6. I was the 3rd she attended to that morning, the two before me were denied.

APPROVAL CONVERSATION

Me: Good morning Ma (VO did not answer greeting. I guess because of her experience with the family she interviewed before me. The old man was reluctant to leave the window after she denied him and his family)
VO: Pass your passport and i20
Me: I obliged
VO: Why do you want to study in the US?
Me: I want to study in US because the US have one of the best educational systems in the world. Also, I like to be taught by world class professors, which would make become a world class program monitoring and evaluation specialist.
VO: How did you hear about this school.
Me: I conducted internet search for top MPA programs in the US, I reviewed the result with USNews.com, Webometrics, Times Higher Education, Princeton Review and the website of the Network of Schools of Public Policy Affairs and Administration, I then streamlined the result based on my area of specialization.
VO: So why this school?
Me: My decision to attend GWU was firstly informed by the opportunity to study under professor Kathryn Newcomer, who happened to be the year 2017 president of American Evaluation Association. She is currently having a research on Public and Nonprofit Performance Measurement and Evaluation which is inline with my area of interest as I am interested in looking into Monitoring and Evaluation Framework with the use of Objective Indicators. Also, the MPA curriculum at this school is such that will equip me with administrative-cum-managerial skills and an in depth understanding of the modern principles and techniques of program evaluation and policy analysis which I will be needing to run a consulting firm back home in proffering solution to the challenges of inadequate monitoring and evaluation framework..(wanted to add the 3rd point which is about my $20k fellowship award, but she cuts in)
VO: When did you had your BSc
Me: January 2013....(she looks on her screen and nods, I guess she confirmed what I filled in my ds160)
VO: So what have you been doing since then?
Me: I went for NYSC program, after which I started working in June 2014 at ABCD as EFG where I am responsible for HIJKLMNOPQR (she cuts in before I could finish stating my job roles. She kept her eyes on her computer screen and nodding her head while answering this)
VO: Did you applied to other school?
Me: Yes, I did
VO: Which other school?
Me: Uni of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Uni of Georgia at Athens
VO: You got admitted into all?
Me: No, I got admitted to GWU and Uni of Pittsburgh.
VO: Tell me about this program?
Me: This program focuses of the process and products of government and nongovernmental organisations decision making. It is also meant to development and enhance the ability to analyze ramifications of public programs and policies. It comprises of courses like .........I listed about 8 courses( I maintained permanent eye contact while answering)
VO: What's your study plan?
Me: I will be studying for a total of 40 credit hours courses, out of which 12 credit hours are core Public Administration courses, 25 credit hours of concentration and elective courses with a capstone seminar of 3 credit hours at the final semester. I will have to maintain a CGPA of not lower than 3.0 throughout the 4 semesters of the program which I will complete in May 2021 after which I will return to Nigeria
VO: What do you want to do with this degree?
Me: I want to consult for public and nonprofit organisations in the area of Program Monitoring and Evaluation as well as offering policy advice to policy makers in taking the best decisions as it affect program success in this part of the world. I would also love to work as a Country Program Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist at one of the international development organisations around. (we're both looking at each other eyeballs-to-eyeballs as I answer this)
VO: You were denied sometimes ago?
Me: Yes
VO: Why
Me: Well (with smile), I think I was probably not able to convince the Consular Officer that interviewed me then that I am qualified for this class of visa
VO: OK, you took GMAT
Me: No, I took the GRE
VO: Oh, OK, what's your score?
Me: I had 282
VO: OK, What about TOEFL?
Me: I didn't take TOEFL ....(we both looking at each other eyeballs-to-eyeballs)
VO: Is your wife joining you?
Me: (With big smile) That is not in the plan, because of her job. However, I will make it up to my family during school holiday.
VO: OK, who will be sponsoring you for this program? GWU is one of the most expensive schools in the US.
Me: I have a Global Initiative Fellowship Award of $20k and my elder brother will...(she cuts in)
VO: Listen, this school is expensive, you will be having a deficit of $41+
Me: Yes, I know, my brother have what it takes to take care of the deficit.
VO: OK, what does he do?
Me: He is into petroleum products marketing. He is also in charge of the management of my late father's real estate investment
VO: Do you have his bank document?
Me: I have his statement of account
VO: Pass it
Me: Passed (VO checked thoroughly, from opening balance, through the transactions to the closing balance, and checked the account name if it corresponds with what I filled in my ds160)
VO: Now listen, (looking into my eyes) I will keep this with me, we will have to check to be sure it is not fraudulent. If it is fraudulent, you will be banned for life from entering the United States. Do you want me to continue?
Me: Please go ahead ma (while looking into her eyes)
VO: OK, I will give you these papers (the white pick up location paper and a congratulatory-small white one). You will have to keep your i20 with you at all time when traveling and make sure you enter the US before the start date of your program.
Me: Nodding, OK Ma (while packing my stuffs) Have a good day Ma....couldn't wait to hear her respond.

CREDITS:

Hello guys!
I'm new here, please help with clarifications and advise on the following.
I was denied a U.S Student visa at the Lagos Embassy on the 20th of June. School starts August 20 and classes start August 26. I am considering reapplying.
Here are my questions;
Will I be able to use emergency booking and I if I am, who has an idea on the nearest available EMERGENCY date in Lagos?
Someone said since I was denied in Lagos, I should still reapply in Lagos, what do you think?
What are the chances for getting my visa approved if I reapply a second time after 2weeks of denial?

Thanks in anticipation of your response. Kindly advice on other informations I might need.
you're emergency request will prolly not be granted . all you need is a letter from your school's ISO stating you're allowed to enter the State even after resumption date. ( I don't think you need an emergency appointment ) also the chances of you getting denied will not change if ntn about your last interview that led to your denial hasn't changed .

barrlabs975:

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Nobody: 11:49pm On Jul 03, 2019
Let's not be discouraging people pls..there have been people who reapplied a week,two weeks after being denied and dey got it.. Sometimes it is just your confidence that needs to change or your answers to question or your determination... Not that something must change on your form or in your life.. Also having to be interviewed by a new vo is a significant change too.. People should be free to reapply once they feel they can do better than the first time esp as the just give the generic pink paper to everyone not saying exactly what is wrong..
And if one way told specifically what was wrong in previus interview, one can work on it and reapply

I skimmed through a bit and your answers seem to be repetitive. You could easily summarize them, it will save you a lot of time and explanation.In addition, your sponsorship answers need more work. Just consider the part I highlighted in your transcript. Don't forget to read approved and disapproved transcripts and learn from them.

book it and ask you school Iso to provide you a letter stating you're allowed to arrive later than resumption date. sometimes, spots do get open if you wanna wait and try your luck for an early date

I skimmed through a bit and your answers seem to be repetitive. You could easily summarize them, it will save you a lot of time and explanation.In addition, your sponsorship answers need more work. Just consider the part I highlighted in your transcript. Don't forget to read approved and disapproved transcripts and learn from them.
Thanks abunch sir/ma...
I'll do all the corrections you pointed out right away

Should i go ahead and book or deffer the admission



Please how did you see a date? What time did you check the appointment page? I have been searching for the past 2 weeks, still saying no appointment date available, because of how I was constantly checking, I had to wait for 72hrs to log in again.....It's really frustrating sad

Okay, but is it possible to choose Abuja as my place of interview when I've already filled in Lagos as my place of interview on my application?

Please house, My brother lost the photo he uploaded on his ds160 form.
Can he present another photos at the embassy?

he should look for the same outfit he wore when he snapped that particular picture and go and take another one.

You can use expedient appointment, in case this is your first time.
