ifedapsy: I'm sorry for just posting my transcript. Been down with post-interview fever (strange, isn't it?). The interview: Me: How's it going?
V.O: Good. I can see you're heading to Texas State University to study Human Nutrition.
Me: Yes.
V.O: Why TSU?
Me: I settled for TSU after conducting an extensive research on the internet using usnews.com and princetonreview.com. I got in touch with some of the Professors in the department and was particularly fascinated by the publications of Dr. B.J. Friedman, Head of Integrated Metabolism and Physiology Lab. After exchanging mails with him, I became convinced that the school is the right place for me. (all d above na this thread-inspired lies )
V.ONods in acknowledgement). Which school did you graduate from?
Me: LAUTECH
V.O: What course?
Me: Biochemistry
V.O: Which year?
Me: 2011, Nov. 18 to be precise.
V.O: Good. (She stares at the screen and types). Who is your sponsor?
Me: My Dad
V.O: What does he do for a living?
Me: He's a maritime consultant to Nigeria Ports Authority and he also owns a firm that's into Haulage (Transport n Logistics).. Another lie again. Jesus, you just av to forgive me.
V.O: What does your mother do?
Me: I never prepared for this type of question but as a street-groomed guy, I had to come up with something. "She runs a chain of eateries in Lagos", I answered.
V.O: Visa approved. You'll need blah..blah blah
On hearing the verdict, I started perambulating on the same spot like a zombie. I just couldn't find the exit door for about a minute.
My Maximum Twale to: Imperiouxx, GboyegaD, BigFrancis, Walspring, MsNas, Slimmy05, Zeezahbee et al. I've gained a lot from all your posts on this thread.
In a nutshell, to fellows who av been denied on one attempt or more, please do not give up. I nicked mine at the 3rd attempt. And for those with upcoming interviews, it's yours already.
The real battle has just begun....
Congratulations |

efiyefaa: MY TRAVEL STORY PART 2. Hey all how are you great i hope congrats to new visa holders! So my story continues.... I requested water from the air host but was so shaky that i poured half of it all over everybody around! i was soo embarrassed i wanted the ground to open up and let me pass underground to my seat! i got to my seat the flight to Abu Dhabi was uneventful, except that they UN-boarded one guy( i dunno why). we got to Abu Dhabi they have a USA border control point there so it was like landing at a USA POE. the USA C.B.P( Customs and border Protection) officer requested my I-20 and Sevis fee receipt i gave it to him, he took my finger print and a picture, then suddenly said i was too early that i am supposed to show up next week and not this week so i have to go back and return! oh boy!!! poo nearly comot for yansh! i was like WHAT? He said yes that the date on my I-20 shows that 30 days is supposed top start a week from now, but i should hold on he would have to take it to his superiors so i followed him to the secondary waiting area he put my docs in an envelop and told me to wait. this was 30 mins to my flight take off i sat down and did a serious prayer session a white guy came out called my name and asked me why i showed up too early, i explained to him that according to the dates i have i am actually coming on the after the first day of my 30 days he asked for proof of that then i gave him my admission letter he read it, took it to someone else and told the person i was right that its the schools fault apparently the dates on my admission letter and I-20 are different so they went thru my bag saw my fish dint raise any eyebrows about it helped me seal it up properly, by this time the airline staff was there to ask if the plane was going to go without me they said no that i am done they should wait for me, so they stamped my passport and off i went on a mad dash to catch up with the plane again! i got in successfully, drank water(thankfully i didn't pour it on anyone lol) the flight to LAX was uneventful too just loooooong. i got to lax didn't have to go through border patrol again just straight to baggage claim then discovered my bags were both missing! i filed a report some of etihad staffs came gave me forms to fill and all that, another one came, a lady called Mona she asked for my passport that she wanted to take a picture of it i gave it to her, then she gave me an envelop with 40dolls as compensation while they look for the bags thinking my passport was amongst what she gave me i walked away. as i got to the door i started checking for my passport alas it wasn't with me i quickly went back i didn't see it ion the floor so i went to her and she claimed to have given it to me. all the other people there said they saw me give her but didn't take note to see her return it. and THAT IS HOW MY PASSPORT GOT LOST! its been 2weeks now still haven't seen it the Nigerian embassies are all 4-8 hours away by air! they said i have to come physically for a new passport or wait till April when they come to Los Angeles. I have informed my school of the situation and they said its no problem that im safe, whenever i get a new passport i should just bring it in. but my question to the gurus in the house is this CAN I GET SSN WITHOUT PASSPORT? CAN I OPEN BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT PASSPORT? I need to be able to work so i can pay my rent and other things. PLEASE HELP A VERY SCARED SISTER IN OBAMALAND WITHOUT PASSPORT Babe check ur bags well..

Horayce: Students are admitted with low standardized test scores all the time but nothing screams valuable immigrant like a top SAT/GRE score. That's why someone with a 95 percentile gre score admitted to Berkeley stands a much higher chance than someone with a valpraiso universityi20 and a 100 million naira bank balance Is it Valparaiso uni the best uni in Indiana u r talking about or what. |
