GboyegaD: If you don't mind, I would like to ask your present level in Ife. if you have gone as far as 300level, I may have to advise you try to graduate and then come in for graduate program since you guys are already through with 1st semester which means you have just 5 more semesters to go but if not, then you can try again and please, I feel your response on why you chose Kansas State University wasn't good enough because you could have added how you came to your conclusion of them being the best in the program you applied to and not leaving it vague. Whatever your decision, I wish you the very best in life.
Thanks but I just don't want to be speaking sporadically since he was concentrating on the pc that is why I stopped talking . And tanks for the advice you are a bomb blast . Will re think and go back if the guys can release the date .

I got to the embassy around 6.00am and my interview is schedule for 8.00am
when it is 8.00am appointment time, we were called in for the interview.
At the entrance, I was sent back to go and make a payment of balance of 3,300 naira of my Visa application fee. This really affect my moral cos the cash I have on me wasn`t up to the amount requested for. To make things worst the nearest ATM machine at Area 3 for those who know ABJ very well. At last, I have the cash and paid to them at the Embassy.

imperiouxx: Can he released date and you get it? It's randomize, if he releases it you might not be the one that will get it. Even, it might not still be available to anyone after few hours he releases it. About your diploma, whenever you are ask your highest degree obtained, let it be the highest. You got diploma which is higher O'level then you put diploma. Though the diploma is way back from here, you should find sometime important to fill the gap.
Cool baba
After feww hours , then I will have to stay in front of the pc and keep refreshin . Can do that on my phone . .

Up till now,i have tried gettin an appointment date but the Trickling thingy aint Trickling anything oooo...My current date is 10th August and my school resumes August 6.Is there anything that could be done so i could get a early date as i have tried emergency request and it was denied and i have called them several times,they keep telling me they will opt me once there is available date and i think i have shared my last experience at June when i went for appointment and i was given the green ticket to pick up my visa at VSF office and then i later received a message from them and i only got to know i was Denied after i got my passport due to the fact that my I-20 got expired already and the school has a strong policy.
Please house do check and see if there is anymore i could do to get an early date.
cant understand , they gave you the green ticket at the embassy and you got denied at the vfs office , Due to your i-20 ? IF GOT IT RITE . please explain .

successgrace: Hello House I got my Visa on July 2, sorry dis is coming late it is actually because I have been out of town.
My interview was met to be 7:30am, i was so soaked in the rain despite the fact that I was well dressed.
My interview was just divinely plan and filled with favour.
I was praying within me to be called by the guy in counter 4;cos he was given the visa as if he wants all and sundry in the USA, however , my number was called on counter 6(DIVINELY PLAN).I was just blasting prayer within and I was so bold all dese were from divinity

Me: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning, While would you like to go to the USA
Me: To pursue my graduate studies
VO: What School
Me: Purdue University (I observed wen I sed dis he was already tearing the green card I was like just like dat ...abi na fake… well God !@ work)
VO: where is your campus located ?
Me: Told him Indiana (He was trying to say somefin but I culd barely hear him because the speaker @ window 6 dat day went so bad so I was just reading his lips: and i actually sed sir dis speaker is bad ooo politely with smile
VO: Did u take GRE?
Me: Yes I did, and showed him
VO: How many times
Me: Just Once
VO: Do u have your undergraduate transcript?
Me: Yes I was trying to bring it out
VO: don’t worry let me see the evidence that you have dis amount in ur acct
Me: brought out smt of acct
VO: he just flipped to the last page and asked whose acct
Me: My uncle
VO: what does your uncle do
Me: He supplies Diesel and kerosene
VO: Your school is in Indiana but is close to Chicago .Pick up on Friday
Me:U mean Friday
VO: Yes Friday.
NB:
as soon as I mentioned the school he was already trying to give me the card so I felt oda questions were for formality. This looks so long but in the real sense my interview was just for like 3minutes as against 5 mins I told God
I had prepared so plenty question and I was only asked few.
My Visa was approved not for any reason but it was God @ work hence I return all the glory to God.
Again I want to thank all d gurus in the house GboyegaD, Imperioux ,Jitosam etc .and my special and sincere thanks goes to PHY who I have not seen before but took my case as if it was his always responding to my mail and pick my calls even in odd hours ….May God richly bless the work of your hands IJN

@All, pls I'll like to encourage us to always include info such as school name, major or general info/responses that can be useful to others. Personally, I feel irritated seeing stuffs like "told him", we readers might have missed some valuable info; besides these do not impair nor divulge your identity in any way. I'm sorry if I've hurt anyone, but it's just my personal inclination.
On Point jor . What does he mean I told what wud u say again , tell us what u told him then from there we gain from ur experience . And xxxx is shit , why can't he just put down the real tin . That is why I got tired of reading d post . I was just happy he plus one to the house success notting more .
