There's a lot of information you've not provided...your question is kinda confusing!
This begs a lot of questions.

To start with, you started working long before you got admitted to UNILAG.
This employment was based on what? Academic qualification or job experience? What's your job description? Is it related to Chemical Engineering? Do you still work there currently?
The admission at UNILAG was for an undergraduate degree?

Now, what degree are you pursuing in the US? Undergrad. or graduate?
What's the actual problem? Gap years?
This admission letter you're asking about...what role will it play? What will you be convincing the VO about since you did not even mention your school in your DS-160?
Come out plain, please.

Generally, I suggest you be as truthful as possible to the VO and do not contradict yourself.

I’ve collected my transcript
I had a friend that did something like that, left school in the 3rd year and completed it over there .

Rayraydray:
Hello guys! Please I need your help on this one! My interview is tomorrow and I’m in the dark about something! I started working in may2016 then in 2018 I gained admission into the uni of Lagos to study chemical engr but I due to some personal issue I dropped out in my first semester 2nd year! But I didn’t state it in my ds-160 cos I didn’t graduate! Can’t I take my admission later I used in getting into the unilag so the VO believes me or I shouldn’t bother about talking bout it

Jideks:
I declared that I will testify on this thread!

I just received my BVL and PPR

See eh, truly what God cannot do does not exist! It's not just a slogan! It's real! I'm a first time applicant (23rd April) and if I share my timeline it will be unbelievable!

I'll share it later, let me catch my breath first!

Darmison:

RichieJayy:

Good morning everyone, I got my PPR this morning. This is my 2nd application, having been initially refused dec 2020 on financial status and personal assets, and family ties.

Timeline:

Applied feb 10th (there was no need for biometrics since it was 2nd time application)

Eligibility review started feb 17th

Got my gcms notes April 19th and the pre-assessment stated that I was going for a course that didn’t align with my undergraduate course of study and career as a Data Scientist. Also highlighted that I was being “funded by a professor” and that my family didn’t look well established. Anyway, I gave up as I had other opportunities. Through encouragement from different persons, I sent a short email and also raised a webform explaining that my program was fully funded research based masters at a top University in Canada, and that it is because of my excellent undergraduate degree and my experience as a data scientist that made me a fit for the program which is actually an engineering program under the faculty of agriculture, since my research involved the intersection of engineering(electrical sensing, automation and digital communications) and data analytics. I added link to my supervisor research page, a design thinking material I had with my supervisor detailing my research work, and also ensured to point that my masters was under the department of engineering and not exactly an agricultural program, that it was applied intelligent engineering to agriculture. (my supervisor was furious when I told him what the pre-assessment said, I reported it to the international office and they said nothing could be done aside appealing like as I have done). Then, for the finance, I drew their attention to my personal fund, to the research assistantship letter from the office of the associate dean of research and to my Uncle’s financial documents. But then, my research is fully funded, so every other financial documents I added were only met to explain to them that in case of eventualities, my Uncle can quickly cover a bit of my expenses. Then for family ties, I drew their attention to my mum and late dad’s landed properties, my study leave, my pension account and also quickly chipped in the fact that my Uncle is the governor of Edo state(I added Wikipedia link) and another of my Uncle is the CMD of UBTH(added Wikipedia link). Mind you, nobody has same surname as me. All had same surname as my mum, and they are actually my mum’s cousins. The point is, I didn’t really have to submit new documents, i just resent what I sent before but this time gave very very short and clear explanation to their concerns. These guys are overwhelmed as well, so they could mistakenly not see some stuffs, and I would advice we give very concise explanation to any concerns that might be raised.

May 5th I got medical request
May 25th went for the medicals and I couldn’t see clearly. I was scared. Lol.
June 2nd I passed medical and I started sending webform and emails twice weekly since my application has passed 8 weeks.
June 14th I got PPR and BVL.

Special thanks to justmellow, frankrobbn, Chocs and everyone that responded to my incessant emails and post here. Finally, it has ended in praise.

Please I need the information on what I need to put together for me to send my passport. Also, I want to resume in September instead of May, hope this won’t be a problem as my supervisor has agreed to this. I need y’all guidance. Thanks and God bless us all!

Good evening my people....

My PPR came in this morning 8:42am.

Some people have been able to secure their study permit with low IELTS score, but I personally wouldn't take the risk. Submit MyBankStatement and write a letter of explanation stating you're unable to submit IELTS result because the earliest available date is way beyond the deadline.
