Lagos consulate, Nov 20th 2020

My interview lasted about 10 minutes. Here we go:


The moment I entered the hall, I noticed that there were three VOs interviewing people at the counter, two females and one male. I realized immediately that the male was the guy who denied me last year and started praying that I should not come across him again. He had already denied about three to four persons right there in the hall. Unfortunately, I came across him again.

The moment I passed my passport and i20 to him, he looked at me and said, "I denied you last year and sorry I cannot interview you this time." He then directed me to another VO, an elderly woman. I can't remember the window. Now the interview proper.

Me: Good morning ma

VO: Good morning, pass me your i-20 and passport then place your hands on the scanner for the biometric capture.

Me: Okay ma. (I passed the documents to her and placed my hands on the scanner)

VO: Where are you going to?

Me: I am going to MSU, Starkvile, to pursue my PhD in Sociology with concentration in Criminology.

VO: I see. So, why this university?

Me: I settled for MSU because I was able to find a wonderful Prof. in the person of Professor XYZ who not only shares my research interest but believes in my abilities to excel at graduate school. For me, that's priceless. I also settled for MSU because the program is fully funded.

VO: I see that you've got full tuition waiver. Who's paying for the decifit?

Me: Please check ma, I do not have any deficit. The stipend from my assistantship covers my living expenses.

VO: Okay. Alright (kept typing into the system)

VO: What other school did you apply to?

Me: I also applied to Northeastern University, Boston, but I was not admitted.

VO: Did you write GRE, if yes, your score? (I was asked this same question the last time by the male VO)

Me: 300

VO: Where do you work? (I asked the last time too)

Me:I work with XYZ, a Lagos based NGO

VO: Have you travelled out of the country before? (Was also asked the last time)

Me: No


VO: Sorry bla bla bla and hands me a green paper.
Me: (dumbfounded)



PS: Gurus in the house, Fairheart, Walspring, Chonco, and the rest what do you guys sense as the reason for my rejection? I'll appreciate your views because I intend to reapply. Thanks.

Evekay:


Well, I think first off, you sounded like "I just wanna leave this country". These are my pointers:
1. I really didn't care about the school, I just got it because someone there liked me and I got funding from it. Tip: Your reason for choosing the school can be a stronger point.

2. I don't have any money of my own, I'm going to live off donations and hand me downs. You didn't have to mention that even your living expenses is on them.... That's a red flag. Sounds like you can't foot the bill for even your meals Tip: Even if you have a fully funded scholarship, it's wise to show that you can foot the bills for other expenses as they arise.

3. But not admitted bit, totally unnecessary Tip: Sell yourself, make yourself desirable. Don't sound like nobody wants me, I was just lucky to get this.

4. Gre score was okay. Tip: try a different technique next time, state score for each section before adding it up

5. A Lagos based NGO? Seriously. Wrong description. Tip: A Lagos based organisation committed to helping Nigerians bla bla bla. You can even further link it to your course (that's another reason I opted for this course, to come back and help the organization I work to xyz)

6. Package yourself better. It's an art and a science and of course, show home ties and a stronger passion.

Best of luck in your next application.

Chonco:


If you know your way from Ibadan to Oshodi, that'd be good.
From Oshodi, enter NAHCO/Airport road bus, stop at Toyota bus stop (Ladipo market), then cross over to the left side, you'll see DHL house.

Less than 30mins from Oshodi, if there's no traffic.
From Oshodi to Toyota should be N100-N150.

Beegirl1:


Take a bus to Oshodi Lagos. Be very smart when you get to Oshodi. Then take a cab from the park. Preferably uber or taxify.

Safe journey

Good morning everyone, please i need your help on this question, I paid for my sevis fee last year Nov 2019, so I'm planning to for my interview next month, the school retained my sevis number, and when I checked online for my sevis status, it still reads, "current status paid" can I proceed with my interview or do I need to pay for another sevis fee? My i-20 still carry same sevis number..
