Thank you in advance.

Hello @fairheart, I just joined naira land because of this platform. All of your advice has been quite helpful, but my visa got denied on Nov 6th. I truly didn’t impress the VO cos, my chest got heavy as he asked the questions and all I could do was only answer with a word or a sentence. I studied hard for that interview, Buh I guess that wasn’t my time. I tried scheduling another emergency interview Buh got refused on the condition that if a person has been denied once, they can’t schedule another interview until after 6months.
Luckily for me, my fiancée was going through their website of recent and saw January 13 opened for interview, so he instantly called me to pay for my visa fee and now I’d be having another interview on the 13th of January. Please I need your help. I wouldn’t mind having a mock interview as well so as to prepare better and overcome my fear. Please I don’t really know how naira land works, especially knowing if Anyone has replied me or not. Probably I get a notification or something. Thanks in anticipation of your replies

VO: Greetings

Me: Greetings

VO: (checks my documents i.e I-20, Sevis, DS-160, etc.) What are you going to do in the US?

Me: I'm going to Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago for a doctoral degree. I'll be focusing on the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence on ultra-reliable low latency wireless communication networks.

VO: (nods, showing interest) What do you know about artificial intelligence?

Me: It is the modelling/training (not sure of which one I used) of a computer or machine to think intelligently like humans, making decisions, knowing what to do and what not to do, without any human/manual support.

VO: (looked satisfied) Have you worked on this (artificial intelligence) before?

Me: Yes, I have worked on DeepFaceMatch, using deep convolution networks for attendance management, as well as machine learning model for modulation scheme recognition in a communication system.

VO: Who will you be working with?

Me: Professor XYZ

VO: (types for a while) what will this degree do for you?

Me: I currently work in XYZ University, and this degree will position me well for a full research career ... bla bla bla. Personally I wish to contribute to the SDG 11.9 (disaster risk reduction) ... bla bla bla, as well as to give back both to the academia and society.

VO: Do you have friends or families in the US?

Me: No, I don't have friends.

VO: How about family?

Me: Yes, I have a cousin in Maryland.

VO: What does he do?

Me: I don't know, it's been long we spoke.

VISA APPROVED

*NO GRE/IELTS
*NO FUNDING/SCHOLARSHIP (YET)
*COA - $30K*
*LOCATION: Us Embassy Abuja* (Thru Emergency Appointment).
*NO DOCUMENT ASKED, even though I went with bank statement*
I started this admission journey last week of October after the endsars protest n here I am.... Its by the Grace of God, cuz graduated since 2009, My case is special.

My appointment was for 10:00 but I got there past 8am. I didnt even answer those hustlers outside as I had my document checklist from here. Then we did the routine documents verification and biometrics; and waited for the interview proper. Two VO’s, a black man and the other white guy. I started praying, God should make the black guy release the lady fast so the next person waiting can go meet him, so I can go to the white guy once the guy with him finishes... lol. God surely did answer and next applicant was called in by the white guy. 

VO : Good morning 
Me : Good morning, (how are you, no answer, guess he didn't hear me) 

VO : pass me your documents
Me : I passed my passport n I-20 only.(what he asked for)

VO : Whats your plan, what are u going for?
Me : I'm going for my masters degree in H.A at BGSU Ohio. (I stuttered a little with shaking lips, thanks to the nose mask)

VO : he glanced thru my i20, are you married?
Me; (Smiled) Not yet 

VO: Do you have any friend or relatives in the U.S.
Me: No

VO: Have you travelled out of Nigeria b4?
Me: No, have not had any reasons to.

VO: what would you be doing with this degree?
Me: This degree will compliment my undergraduate training.

VO: cuts in Oh, what's your undergraduate degree on?
Me: I have a bachelor's degree in Accounting.
(Then i continued answering the question)

And equip me with the knowledge needed.
As I plan to return to Nigeria after graduation to work as a Health Care Consultant and be able to proffer practical solutions to the health issues in Nigeria. Vo nods his head, n glanced thru i-20 again.

VO: Where do you work?
Me: I work with bleep, I supervise the supplies of medical equipment to health centers and general administrative support.

VO: Who is your closest Sibling.
Me: My sister (I immediately inserted the sponsorship), she is the manager at ***** bank *** State, she will be sponsoring my program as she's been very supportive of my career.

VO; nods his head and ask, are your parents alive? What does your dad do n ur mum?
Me; Yes, my dad is a nurse, my mum is a proprietor.

VO, types for about 20 seconds (mennn..... I had the longest 20 secs of my life, lol)

Me; I was kabashing- praying in tongues, lol and was saying to myself, God abeg, make this man keep my passport (I will be picking it in Lagos)

Then I thought to engage him a little,

Me: How has your stay been in Nigeria and hope you plan to spend the christmas season here.
VO: Oh, its been lovely, sure, very certain (with a smile)

VO, stretches his hand to get the white paper after typing a little more... I thought I was listening to what he was saying, later I realised, I didn't hear anything. I only heard, congratulations, enjoy your stay in Ohio.


Pray Pray Pray, Prepare n Pray. God showed up for me. Cuz a night b4 I was so tensed but he sent helpers.

Thanks @Fairheart, @Akin-Oseni, @Zeelady, @Gwee9win, @Tumie and all others who have been so resourceful on this platform. The bond in this place is indescribable. Cuz faceless people I just reached out to via PM went all out for me to guide me thru n thru. I hope to also give back in my little way.

Success to those yet to secure a date n have their interview. Know what works for you n build that confidence level up. You guys will surely testify. Cheers.
