Hello guys. Got my visa approval today at the Lagos consulate, 6.30am batch. My interview was very very short. . Met the female V.O in window 3.
Got to the consulate by 5.45am and met a lot of people outside. Joined the queue for the nonimmigrant visas. Got inside and did my biometric verification. Subsequently joined the queue for the V.Os as we waited for them. They eventually arrived at 7.30ish. I was the second person to be interviewed by the V.O. A lot of F1 visas were issued before my turn.
Our conversation was as follows:
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning ma'am
Asked me to pass her my passport, i20 and sevis receipt which I did

VO: What are you going to the US for ( started typing and glancing through my I 20 intermittently)
Me: I am going to the University of North Texas Health SC for my masters in public health and will be majoring in environmental health (she nodded as she kept typing)
VO: What would you do when you return?
Me: I intend to work for the ministry of health in order to reduce the disease burden in Nigeria. Our country is ranked among the highest with the incidences of diseases of public health significance such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/aids.
VO: Where do you work currently?
Me: Told her my current job as a medical officer under the dept of public health.
VO: Who will be sponsoring you?
Me: My mom. Told her my mom's job. Also told her I have some personal savings. (She nodded and kept typing all the while)

VO: Your visa has been approved... Hands me the white paper and my I 20 and sevis receipt.
I thanked her and left.

Honestly I was prepared for a lot more than this. No documents asked. No travel history though I have a schengen visa in my passport. I feel those guys are really eager to issue visas to students.
Thank you so much guys for this thread. I really learnt a lot. And I also think the 6.30 am batch is really good. I had to reschedule from 11 to 6.30am when I saw other people's transcripts. Above all trust and believe God. It's all by His Grace.

Holudarey01:
No be like some skeleton transcript

purplesummer:
I wanted to share my transcript when I'm more relaxed but...I can't wait

I thought I'd have issues with my DS 160/ appointment page bar codes. I filled out a ds 160 for abj consulate and used the confirmation number to book appointment for lagos. Lol. Anyway, I had it sorted out, ran to walspring and he allayed my fears. Told me everything is fine.

So, I was the first person to arrive the lagos consulate at 5:10am. I didn't enjoy the wait though. One of the security guys told me I look good and that if I could just add a smile to it...so I had it mind to smile even when I didn't feel like it

So after biometrics and all, we waited for the VOs to arrive. I was 3rd in line so I thought I'd be interviewed by the woman in window 3 but nah, God had better plans for me. I and the 1st 2 persons were interviewd at window 7. The chubby white guy.
He approved the 2 people before me. It was then my turn.

VO: so tell me about your programme
PS(PurpleSummer): oh, I'm going for my masters in law. I'd be concentrating on Environmental law.

VO: how did you get to know abt the school?
PS: they sent me a direct email

VO: (looks at me) why would they do that?
PS: (I smiled) they saw my profile on the Law school admission council website so they contacted me and encouraged me to apply

VO: what courses would you be taking in your first semester
PS: I'd be taking courses on Energy Policy and Climate Change, Environmental Advocacy, Natural Resources Law, Toxic Tort (I spelt T-O-R-T for him so he won't think I mean thought. Lol. Vo nodded like...I know it's tort) and International Environmental Law.

VO: what was your undergraduate on?
PS: law

VO: When did you graduate?
PS: 2011

VO: what have you been doing since then?
PS: I attended the nigerian law school for one year, did my NYSC and since then I've been in active legal practice

VO: have you been called to bar?
PS: yes

When?
PS: 2012.

VO: (brings out white paper) I see you chose to collect your passport in portharcourt, (circles an address, handed me both paper, i-20 and sevis fee receipt) you'll need these at the point of entry...blah blah, I said thanks, he thanked me too.
PS: walks out like a boss.

Ps: School is University of Maryland, Baltimore.

I want to thank every single person on this thread, I dedicate this success to you all. A huge dosage of the thanks goes to walpring, Holudarey01, don4ye, bigfrancis21 (I gave him one helluva disturbance), OjahP, mystiqueme (Your words were both vissionary and prophetic) mekurexx, biodium et al. God bless you all!
