Visa approved!

Appointment time: 6:45am

Funding: $30k (tuition waiver not assistantship)

Deficit: 18k

School: Georgia State University

She has denied like 3 people ahead of me. I also forgot to smile.

Her: Good morning, pass your I-20 and passport.

Me: Did as instructed.

Her: How did you get this funding?

Me: After my admission I had an interview with the program director and director of laboratory, and they considered me a good assistant in the laboratory. But I won’t start in that role until my second semester after my apprenticing period.

Her: When did you graduate?

Me: 2018.

Her: What will you be doing after your studies?

Me: I’m coming back home to take up lecturing job, and also offer consulting service to cancer management centers.

Her: Interesting

Me: Excuse me?

Her: I said interesting.

Her: What will you be doing in the laboratory?

Me: Setting up the laboratory for experiment and also helping with anatomy dissection.

Me: Yes, as an undergraduate.

Her: What did you say you studied again?

Me: Human Anatomy

Her: Who will cover the deficit?

Me: My uncle, and I have personal savings of $15k as well in my bank account.

Her: Ok. I’ll be approving your visa. This (My I-20) is like your second visa always have it with you all the time.

Me: Thank you

Her: Hold on.

She brought out that US work blah blah

Me: Thanks. Have a wonderful day.

Note:

1. No document was asked. And I went with everything oo, even NYsC discharge certificate cos I did my POP last month.

2. I was greatly favored by God. That’s just it. I believe in Him and He stepped in for me.

3. There is no blueprint for this thing. Really.

4. The entire interview lasted for less than 5mins.

Now to the next thing, ticket hunting.

Congrats man!

F1 Visa approved!

Deficit = $10,194

GTA = $9,168

Tuition = waived

Sponsor = uncle

VO: how did you know about this school?

Me: I searched online through Princeton review, webinar and usnews (vo cuts and asked another question)

VO: why did you choose this school?

Me: (straight to the answer) because of Prof Bleep research project, I do a similar work at bleep research laboratory, he his researching on nanotechnology based biosensor that can detect cancer, oxidative stress etc... I also carry out oxidative stress assay, antioxidant assay and phytochemical analysis (vo nods head and cuts me)

VO: so you’d be working with this person (while looking at my I-20)

Me: (I thought she was referring to my international affairs officer from my school, so I explained) that’s the immigration officer (I made a mistake and corrected myself immediately) sorry, he’s the international affairs officer, yes i’d be working with professor bleep.

VO: what would you be doing? (For my GA)

Me: I’d be teaching laboratory classes, doing grading and assessment.

VO: where did you finish your study?

Me: Federal university of Technology Akure.

VO: what did you do after you finished?

VO: who would be sponsoring you?

Me: my uncle, Engr...

VO: do you have a statement?

Me: passed.

VO: (did a calculation) and said I’d be approving your visa and passed me the white paper.

It’s God’s favor and grace, if you can fast and pray please do, even though we get close to God at the times of our need, it teaches us a lesson how faithful God can be when we are always in his presence.

Note: please, in the face of all pink papers, every other person have their peculiar case, the place is not so tensed but be prepared and keep smiling.

Chemistry is very well funded in most schools.
Going back without funding will not be nice.. NIU, MTSU, KSU, LSU, MSU and a host of others fund your course.

I feel You're wasting your degree going without funding. Chemistry is hot cake.

Hello Justabama, I was interviewed on the same day as yours, I was also placed on AP too. I got my Visa issued on the 6th. I would humbly advise you send them a mail with your details Passport number and date of interview.

Thereafter you check your status.

Goodnews coming ur way. smiley

Hello Readers,

While I was checking The US status page, i noted this below.

Important Notice: Before inquiring about your visa status, you or your representative must wait at least 60 days from the date of your interview or the submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later. Please be patient. 

Here is the link
http://cdn.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-221ginfo.asp.

My previous post doesn't align with what is obtainable, I am sorry for this.

PLEASE IF YOU ARE ON AP PLS KINDLY WAIT TILL AFTER 60DAYS before you can inquire about your US Visa Staus.

For those on administrative processing I believe your Testimony will be perfected. REMAIN POSITIVE!!!!


Thanks.

Otunoba001:
Good afternoon everyone.
I was at the embassy yesterday for my appointment but I was denied.
School : University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
Course MS Chemistry specializing in biochemistry.
No funding.
This was my transcript
Vo: good morning
Me. Good morning
Vo. Your i-20 and passport.
Me. I passed it
Vo . Why are you going to the us?
Me. Am going for my MS study in chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Vo. Why this course?
Me. Studying this course will help me hone my research skill, build my critical thinking and also qualify me for the position of a research assistant at Nigeria institute of medical research.
Vo. Biochemistry and NIMR you said
Me. Yes
Vo.Did you take any exams
Me. Yes, GRE and TOEFL
Vo are you married
Me. No
Vo. Do you have kids
Me. No.
Vo . How did you hear about this school?
Me. It was recommended to me by a friend on LinkedIn who is an alumni of the school and I went online to do more research abt it.
Vo. So why this school
Me. For me picking Umassd had a lot to do with the student to faculty relationship I have built with my potential supervisor Dr. Xxxx who is presently working on xzy research and fortunately for me he has accepted me to be part of his research team. I believe I will be able to learn a lot from his research experience and academic expertise.
Vo. Any other reason.
Me. I was just mixing it all up here .
Then he said
Sorry you are ineligible at this time this paper will explain.
Please advise .
I intend to reapply please advise.
Also I got admission offer from eastern Illinois University and I have their i-20 with me . Could I reapply with EIU also no funding. What will be my reason for reapplying with another . This question I don't know how to answer .
Please your honest opinion would be appreciated .
Many thanks
I am deeply sorry about your denial. Permit me to use your transcript to buttress my personal thoughts please.

Bold 1: I understand this response was inspired by my approved visa transcript, that's fine. However, I never mentioned research assistant. You can't spend two years and a whopping sum of money to bag a degree in the US just so you can come back and be a RESEARCH ASSISTANT in Nigeria, that's selling yourself short and the VO probably knew that. He or she wasn't convinced about your post graduation plans and probably considered you a potential immigrant.
Bold 2: I have shared this before and I will share it again. Own your school choice, no lecturer or HOD suggested it, no alumni or present student, no friend on LinkedIn mentioned it, own your school choice. Take the accolades, you did the school search yourself coz this is very important to you. You knew your academic priorities and you chose schools that met them. End of story!
This is my opinion though.
Bold 3: The VO probably wasn't impressed by your response and went ahead to give you a second chance to come up with better reasons for picking the school, a chance which you probably didn't use properly.
I also don't know your body language, if you were confident and well composed or the information you filled.
Someone suggested you consider applying to schools with funding for your program. I totally support that to relieve the financial burden, but I don't think sponsorship or funding was the reason for the denial. The VO wasn't just convinced.
We have had approved visas without funding and I believe it had a lot to do with conviction.
I don't support the motion of reapplying with a different I-20 so fast, especially one without funding. It would probably reinforce the denial on the basis of desperation and perhaps immigration intent.

Hello Readers,

While I was checking The US status page, i noted this below.

Important Notice: Before inquiring about your visa status, you or your representative must wait at least 60 days from the date of your interview or the submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later. Please be patient. 

Here is the link
http://cdn.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-221ginfo.asp.

My previous post doesn't align with what is obtainable, I am sorry for this.

PLEASE IF YOU ARE ON AP PLS KINDLY WAIT TILL AFTER 60DAYS before you can inquire about your US Visa Staus.

For those on administrative processing I believe your Testimony will be perfected. REMAIN POSITIVE!!!!


Thanks.
