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.

Davidkking:
Do you have someone in Mississippi?

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?

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.

Walspring:
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.
