I indicated my dad as my sponsor when filling the visa application form, but the bank statement he gave me is his company account, could this be an issue?

I really want to help you but you are not yet ready to be helped my friend grin
Obviously your transcript isn't fully ready for constructive criticism, you probably need someone to spoonfeed you with appropriate responses that can mesmerize the VO. You chose the easy way grin grin grin
Regrettably, I can't do that for you because you are in the best position to. However, I can share this with you.
Everything you need is on this thread, I promise you. If you dedicate just two hours to intensively read visa transcripts(approved and denied), your transcript will improve by fire by force today today grin
Nobody can tell your story better than you, do your homework, come up with responses for ALL the possible questions and then you can ask for help.
You have so many uncertainties ("not sures" ) in your transcript and that's not a good vibe. You need to believe in yourself, stop doubting yourself. Without confidence, a good transcript is NOTHING.


I made necessary corrections, you were absolutely right.... Please take a look now.

Thanks

You can just do search for visa interview transcripts and read up. I believe there is a PD/dropbox of visa interviews somewhere in one of the old threads

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Mudicua: 4:56pm On Jul 10, 2019
Saginaw Valley state?

Never heard of that before. US and plenty plenty schools sha... grin
Okay first of all... using agents can be tricky especially when you are not in the know abput what they are doing for you.
Most of them are after their money... and only money. nothing else.

Well now we know that, lets get to the part about your background. You have a B.Sc in Biochemistry, what is that doing in relation to MBA...(yeah i get the part about concentration in health care admin, but I feel the tie was not convincing to the VO).
Then see how the VO stated you should be doing science.. given your current job duty.

My question for you is, what do you really wanna do? like really do? Cos therein lies your answer. If you really want to go study abroad, chose a course you are really passionate about... that always comes through for you when you are talking witht he VO.

Well now you have found this thread and awesome persons to help grin.
Do not worry, You will be fine.



merciee:


Interview was very short
Me: Good morning
Vo: where are you going?
Me: I’m going to Saginaw Valley State University to pursue my MBA with Conc. in health care administration
Vo: how did you hear about the school
Me: one of the managers in the organization who is an alumni told me about it and then I did research online.... cuts in
Vo: why MBA
Me: currently I work as a business development/ customer service officer in bleep pharmaceutical company, I’m looking to take up the role of product manager as I have been recommended.... cuts in
Vo: product manager?? Shouldn’t you be doing science..... did you take any test
Me: Yes GMAT
Vo: score?
Me: 515
Vo: out of 800? When did you graduate?
Me: August 2014
Vo: did you apply to other schools?
Me: yes, Monmouth uni, abertay uni Scotland and SVSU
Vo: where you admitted?
Me : yes
Vo: so why this school
Me: this sch..... vo cuts in sorry.....

Now, I saw this thread late, I discovered so many things too late. I used an agent who told me to just choose one school bla bla bla

Bachelors: Biochemistry
Okay, gurus pls come to my aid... shawarma pls come fast

I think you should choose Regular since it's past 6months you were denied. Read the instruction under the Two options (Previously denied and Regular). There are July dates for Regular the last time I checked. Thank you.

Hello. please make sure you have a ticket to your final destination booked down already. Majority of the people who emigrated illegally to canada passed through jfk and I've heard stories on how people who had no tickets to their final destination were turned back at jfk. I don't know how true this is but just have your ticket booked down.

Hello everyone! Please I am new here, my visa previously denied in January, but I have another visa interview on the 30th of this month. I have two concerns
1. The last time I was in the US, due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to stay for 5 months which was one of the queries I got last time from the VO
2. My school is Washington Adventist University, Maryland. Anyone has an idea if this is a good school?
Will post my transcript soon.
Thanks!
