House Good afternoon to everyone, please I want to know how I can pay for USA graduate application fee of a university I applied to . Anyone with how I can go about paying the application fee will be appreciated

I think you can also talk with the grad office of d univ. to confirm easiest way to pay stating your country, and how possible you can pay with mastercard “provided you have.”
I know of someone who recently paid for a particular grad fee directly with normal mastercard and at equal exchange rate without going through other route.....payment was fully acknowledged.

meanwhile i think western union is another route.

, the two reasons behind your course of study are contradictory, telling a vo that u want to come back and search for job in this dry country is not realistic expect u are coming back to take up family business. i suggest you create a continuous line of story that's realistic.

iekene:
Wow happy to see that this thread is still moving forward. Shout out to everyone taking out time to help others. I remember when I dey sleep wake up for this thread lol. For everyone hoping for a visa, keep hope alive you would get it nah small thing..

Lizamegabush:
Good day every one, I must confess that naira land is the best place to be for visa enquiries and the rest, I am kinda new on the platform but have been following up ever since I joined the platform.
I was denied of visa on the 15th of November 2019 but have rescheduled for another visa appointment at Abuja embassy for 5th of December, although the previous visa interview was at Lagos consulate but due to the fact that my school resumes on the 13th of January I reapplied but didn't see a good date at the Lagos consular so I went for that of Abuja, I will be sharing my first visa experience although it was quite brief but I will also be sharing my supposed visa conversation for my next Visa interview.
At the Lagos consulate, appointment time was 6:45am I arrived by 6:05 am but was delayed as I didn't print my SEVIS proof of payment , I went to the cafe and those guys frustrated my life when they said that my SEVIS payment has not reflected on the site , since on August 2019 , ah I nearly piss for my trouser, they printed a made up letter and gave to me to present on the place of SEVIS proof of payment and collected 2k from me, so I joined the queue and got to the point where I was asked for SEVIS proof of payment , I presented the made copy the cafe guys gave to me and the man looked at me like what!!!! and he wrote no SEVIS on my DS 160 and asked me to proceed , I went in for the interview but later discovered that some of us on my queue skipped the thumbprint session, so we had to go back for the thumbs print, I was praying that I be directed to the guy on window 9 as he was so calm and relaxed unlike the guys on window 6 and 7 but unfortunately , I was directed to the guy on window 6 and this was how the interview went.
Vo: Good morning
Me: went straight to meet him and I responded good morning sir.
Vo: your i20 and passport please
Me: quickly passed it to him
Vo: so why are you going to the us
Me: I am going to the university of central Oklahoma to do my masters in public administration to major in public non profit management.
Vo: why this course?
Me: the degree will help me with qualities such as * fund raising capabilities and at this point I went blank and couldn't remember anything , so i had to repeat same point again and he cuts in
vo: who is your sponsor?
Me: my father chief Ezenwa I was about to complete my sentence and he gave the yellow paper and said sorry at this point you are not eligible for the us visa , try again.
God I felt as if I was in out of life �����
So I got home and immediately got another visa appointment same day but this time around Abuja embassy for the 5th of December 2019.
Total school fees :$23600
But I gain a Global diversity scholarship which is $8000 About 32% discount from the Total school fees and this will last for two years of my masters program as I will be given$4000 each year of my study.
So my new proposed transcript is as follows.
Vo:where are you going to
Me: I am going to the university of central Oklahoma (uco) for my masters in public administration and non profit management.
Vo: why this course?
Me: this degree will prepare professionally to widen my horizon in The aspect of leadership and management skills, as I have The intention to return to Nigeria after my program to apply for the office of chief protocol officer in the ministry of labour and employment federal republic of NIGERIA, and with This degree I will stand a better chance for such job, and I will serve as a leader or attain key roles in the government Bodies, this degree will not limit me to government organization alone, as some private corporations such as the news and broad casting organization loves to hire those with masters in public administration for policy analysis and international organization management.
Vo:how many school did you apply to
Me:3 schools
Vo: name them
Me: Oklahoma State.university(osu) in still water, University of North Texas(until) in long beach and University of central Oklahoma (uco) in Edmond.
Vo: why did you choose uco
Me: I made my research and I discovered that uco has a flexible system of learning as students are allowed to create a customised system of learning such as * field studies, * internship*work shop* and independent studies so that they can be able to complete their degree faster.
Vo:how will you utilize this degree back home.
Me' after the completion of my masters, I plan coming home to take over from my family business and move it to a thriving State as I will be the one to do so in few years to come, and I also will go into partnership with the the (NDE) and some higher institution so that we can be able to establish an (Ngo) where I will be raising young minds on how to create a business of Their choice and also training them on how to become great leaders of tommorow as opposed to what we have currently in the country.
Vo: who is your sponsor?
Me : my uncle
Vo: in your previous application you stated your father as your sponsor , why now your uncle?
Me: my father has been so very ill of lately and I can not ascertain the outcome of event in the future , so my Uncle chose to take the responsibility.

I am so sorry if this is quite long but I will be so glad if the professionals in the platform can look into this, I am open to take corrections and adhere to any necessary development , thanks.

the two reasons behind u coming back to Nigeria are contradictory , telling a vo that u will come back to from known to unknown (searching for a job in nigeria that has nothing is not real), expect u are coming to take up family business.

KeLcHeE:
Even with full funding Please share your transcript.

As for your Q3, the rule for getting an expedited appointment is that the said applicant must have NOT been refused a visa within the last 6 months.

Thank you.

Benifbond:

I agree with the first aspect but not the second one. Not everyone has family business to take up when they return, so it leaves them with the option of looking for and taking on jobs in Nigeria when they return. F1 is a nonimmigrant Visa and you need to demonstrate that you're returning to your country after your studies, in summary, you might be going from known to unknown, but that is what is expected of you when you're on student visa; you have to show strong hometies and plans that you're returning.

I think the problem came from your choice of school or d reasons for settling with UCO over OSU. I graduated from OSU and the school is one of the best universities in Oklahoma. For you to pick UCO (which is a small Uni) over OSU, you need to really convince the VO.

I will advice you to get a letter of introduction from your Registrar to support your claim of where you currently work. The letter should confirm your current position and that you will be signing a bond with your school, which will necessitate you to come back after your program in US. Present the letter at all means during your interview, one of the reasons for denial is because they couldn't ascertain your coming back. Good luck!

the two reasons behind u coming back to Nigeria are contradictory , telling a vo that u will come back to from known to unknown (searching for a job in nigeria that has nothing is not real), expect u are coming to take up family business.

that's True brother, no job in naija o finally , ok then I will work on it , tnx so much

alright, thank you so much , I will tell them that I have to take over from my father's company , as the only son , that you s on the pipe .

I think the problem came from your choice of school or d reasons for settling with UCO over OSU. I graduated from OSU and the school is one of the best universities in Oklahoma. For you to pick UCO (which is a small Uni) over OSU, you need to really convince the VO.

oh ok, well uco offered me a Global diversity scholarship which is about 33% discount from the Total tuition fee I am meant to pay for my degree, and that is why I chose uco over osu. what do you think boss?

Second transcripts: Lagos Embassy, window 6 (7/11) spring session

VO: pass me your I-20, which I did and greeted him with a smile and asked how he is doing
VO:why are you going to the US,
Response: I did
VO: how did I come across the course
Response: I developed interest in safety during my industrial training attachment, as such I discovered that there are few professionals in the few and the knowledge is not readily available.
VO: Do I have a sponsor
Response: My uncle
His response was I am not eligible for visa this time around.
Note- I used my uncle company account since he owns the company and I got a letter of sponsorship from him too.
I apologize for just dropping my transcripts. I will appreciate comments, recommendation and advice

Abuja embassy is not smiling this spring session dunno why

mvem:
I sent you a pm

I think I replied

Rexmy:
I will advice you to get a letter of introduction from your Registrar to support your claim of where you currently work. The letter should confirm your current position and that you will be signing a bond with your school, which will necessitate you to come back after your program in US. Present the letter at all means during your interview, one of the reasons for denial is because they couldn't ascertain your coming back. Good luck!

Thanks for your contribution however, I have got it already. Thanks
