Good evening everyone. Please, this is my proposed interview transcript. I am very open to corrections:

V.O- Good morning
ME- Good morning

V.O- Why did you choose this school?
Me- I chose this school because their history program focuses mainly on research and I will also get to conduct research in database, government documents, and archives. I will also get to develop historical arguments which will help in shaping my career.

V.O- Why history?
ME- Over the past few years, I have had a dare interest in studying and practicing law due to the level of injustice, social imbalance and violation of citizens' right in Nigeria. Obtaining a masters degree in history will help me develop skills that are highly valuable in the legal world, as lawyers need to develop arguments based on historical data and have to be able to analyze large amounts of information and find the flaws in it. As an history student, I will spend a lot of time learning and doing just that, thus helping me to shape my career better and also help me get into law school when I return to Nigeria.

V.O- You have a bachelor's degree in international relations, why the switch?
ME- It is not necessarily a switch. My undergraduate curriculum has extensively helped in building a foundational knowledge which I am optimistic would be instrumental and have an inpact in my graduate studies and career as a whole.

V.O- Who is your sponsor?
ME- My mother.

V.O- What does she do?
ME- She is one of the major distributors of ***** and also she also has different stores where she sells *****, she is a major distributor for ****

V.O- What have you been doing since you graduated in 2016?
ME- After my graduation, I went for my one-year mandatory youth service where I teached government in a secondary school in kwara and later worked as an assistant to the director general of service in Oke-aro local government, Ogun state after my redeployment from kwara.

V.O- What do you plan to do after your masters?
ME- After my masters, I will return back to Nigeria to enroll in the Nigerian law school bar part1 programme at Abuja, so I can fulfil my main goal of becoming a practicing lawyer.

V.O- Why U.S.?
ME- America has a well-developed education system and the universities there are widely known for the quality of their research which I am more interested in, unlike Nigeria where our education system is still developing, studying in the U.S. will help me obtain the required skills and knowledge for the kind of impactful career that I intend to build.

V.O- What do you do now?
ME- I am currently in an ongoing language school program, learning a third language, German.

Please I am very open to corrections@lagosismyhome@Brown2green@fairheart@sharwama
THANK YOU.

The transcript is quite complex ..
You have a strong chance of convincing the VO if your work experience is related to what you're pursuing.
Since 2016 ..it is 3 yrs.
Be very careful how you present your decision to pursue a Masters degree in history. Because most I see in your response is talking about Law. That can confuse the VO or send a wrong signal.

When the VO asks what the degree would do for you, they are trying to gauge the ROI ( return on investment) of the degree and weigh it with your COA(cost of attendance).



So put this into consideration and reword your responses. Talk more about the prospects a masters degree in history holds for you back here in terms of opportunities creation and employability.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by CHUUKKSS(m): 11:24pm On Jul 23, 2019
If you need help in the visa interview, These are the following I can render
1. Don't base your own interview on other past experience, by craming their answers as different interviewer, different question. My advice is have a broad knowledge of their question, but don't copy answers
2. Take charge of the interview, don't leave salient points for later. Put out your positives like type of scholarship you have, friends that introduce you there. Interviewers dislike you saying the school you are going to offers this course well, and the student to teacher ratio talk. You can say you chose the school because of your friend that is there and the positive remark of the school he told you about that is if you don't have a scholarship at all, or you can say the tution is cheapest amongst the school you applied to and still offers quality education at the same time.
4. Slow down your interview, don't rush your answers. If he is rushing, you can tell him to give you a second and definitely he will do. That is if he notices you are not fidgeting.
5. Interact with people at the interview center at this reduces tension, clear it out immediately, keep speaking to your self when you are tensed especially when you are close to your interviewer, think of something that will take your mind away, Mine was just telling myself peace be still and it worked like magic.
6. Confidence confidence, confidence. Be bold. Immediately the interviewer asks you a question like twice, and you can see it in his/her face that you are messing up, change your answer immediately, as that could be your second and last chance to put things aright. If you correct or answer well, they move immediately to next question.

Finally, Put God first.
Talking from second visa interview experience, which I got the visa.

The current available date in Lagos us consulate is August 29, is it advisable to reapply as i was denied earlier today and how can I get it to reschedule; the first time I applied I wasn't given the option of the calendar untill I pulled a call through to the embassy and i was asked to login in again and the calendar showed and I was allowed to pick the earliest available date of which I had already used the expedited appointment which was denied.

And how does expedited appointment work, does it require extra payment?

You should realize that the US government takes every information you provide seriously. If you are honest, you have no reason to be concerned with routine confirmation of information you have provided in your visa application

Guys

I recently got a USA Visit VISA for the 2nd time. Is there q chance I could convert it to a study Visa when I get to the USA? Is it worth the risk.?

Or do I apply for a study Visa from here?

Kindly advice.

You can file form I-539 to change your status. However, while this is technically legal, the US state department released a memo in 2017 targeting this very issue. Your application may be denied if you applied within 60 days of entering the US on a B2 visa. Even if it gets approved, you will likely have problems renewing the visa as it would be viewed as misrepresentation of your intent for applying for the B2 visa.

Long and short, apply for an F1 visa from here to avoid stories that touch the heart.

Your visa is valid for 2 years and if you defer before leaving the school and is not over a year you don’t need to apply for another visa again.

But contact US embassy to find out if the rules has change or not.

Lastly the nunber you sent to me via email, I thought it’s for you because I called it and the person say he didn’t know auditmonkey your user name.


Sir, I sent you a pm. Please reply as its urgent. Thank you so much and God bless you!!

You can be lucky for the date to change to an earlier one if you login again or be unlucky and it is a farther one, what I did was chose the one I saw, case I heard it the slot could be filled up, I think they give refusals one month later to apply again, Just pick that date, prepare vigorously as you have time to know reason for your previous rejections, then work on it.They feel your status might not change under a week, so they give a longer date.
