I was there that day, it wasnt funny that day. I saw the lady that was arguing with the consular. I was interviewed by a white young guy i think window 9 but he was at horizontal roll of those doing biometric, was it the same guy that interviewed you?

I sent u a pm bro

Ryansplich:
I’m a silent reader but an avid reader, I owe everyone who took out time to post their transcript on this platform. It is only wise and prudent of me to return the favor.
Here’s a few tip from me to every prospective visa seeking student.
1. Put God First.
2. Pray without ceasing at least for the last 7days before the interview.
3. Fast if you can. I did that 3 day to my interview.
4. Leave your battle to God to fight.
5. Dress according to what you depict. The way you dress is the way you’ll be addressed.
6. Forget the respect. Majority of the VO’s and workers at the embassy are not older than you. I didn’t greet anyone. Not even the white guy who registered my fingers. He was forced to greet me. Actually I was waiting for him to greet me first. He’s in my country for Gods sake. He should respect me. Not the other way round.
7. Finally, forget the MA or SIR you use for the VO except in exceptional circumstance when you know he/she is way older than you. The VO greeeted me first. I didn’t and it was deliberate. We are all playing mind games.
8. Lastly, be bold, look at the VO straight in the eye, don’t stutter, know your onions and get your facts straight. A little research on google here and there will go a long way.

Interview was on 3rd Aug 2018 @6:45am
*No bank statement was asked
*No stress. Just simple question and answer.
* I wore my blue suit. (Las las if Na blue paper I go get make I match am with my suit in peace) Na so I reason am �

Forgot my hair brush with me. Had to throw it away as it will not be allowed in but e pain me.

We queued and did the normal check in process. Waited for my turn with the VO. Not long they arrived in their ferry and went straight in for the job of the day.

People were been interviewed and I was looking like mumu, about 25-30 persons before me, all blue paper except one fair guy who had his interview at window 7 got a white paper. One girl was denied at window 3 and she began a scene for a few minute shouting on top of her voice while asking why the VO (a female white lady) denied her after having applied for about 3x or so. She was heartbroken but nothing could be done. She was later ushered out after the VO left her window because she couldn’t engage her further. I felt her pain but hey all man for himself.

I was interviewed at window 6, a white guy in his early thirties. He denied the guy before me. I could tell from the blue line I’m standig on that he’s gonna deny the guy before me because the guys voice was shaking and he’s not composed.

Interview proper.
VO: Good morning
Me: Morning. How are you?

VO: I’m fine. Passport and I20
Me: passed it to him

VO: So you are going to the Ohio State
Me: Yes

VO: What’s your purpose there?
Me: I’m going for my graduate studies in advance legal research.

VO: Great. You are a lawyer?
Me: Yes

VO: Tell me about your educational background.
Me: *He unleashed the dragon* I finished from University of Ilorin in the year 2013, attended the Nigerian Law School from 2013-2014, did my compulsory national youth service program, practiced with 2 law firms and I’m currently at my second job.

VO: hmmm ok. How many schools did you applied too
Me: 3 Schools. Ohio State, university of Arizona and Houston Law center.

VO: What will this degree do for you.
Me: of course it is to build an impressive and attractive profile so that job applications from me to top leading law firm in Nigeria will not be refused when I’m back to seek a better opportunity. *Pls and pls, always link your answers to your home country (Naija). It’s important and a major factor in whether or not you’ll be approved for a visa*
VO: Hummm, nodding in agreement. What’s your major?
Me: Corporate Law

VO: hmm ok. So you said you’ll be applying to firms in Nigeria here?
Me: Yes

VO: Ever travelled out?
Me: Nope I don’t have a reason to until now, as you can see my passport is a Virgin. (Winked at him)

VO: He smiled, Married or any children?
Me: Gave him a grin, nope.

VO: I’ll be approving your Visa. Pick your passport up in 3 Days time
Me: Thank you.

That’s how I collect my white paper and left. Did the normal police sorting at the enterance. Two female officers got 1k from me. Celebration money you dig. �. Did as if nothing happened, kept walking to Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue to get a cab to my hotel (Beni Gold Apartments). The touts dey ask me how far? Dem grant me? I no even answer. I squeeze face like say dem deny me.

God bless everyone and to those who are waiting for their date/hour, those that have applied and have been denied, don’t loose hope. Keep trying, God will put a smile on y’all face soon.
Thank you.

My visa transcript
VISA DENIED AT LAGOS ON 3/07/2018

My appointment was fixed to be 7:00am. As he reached my turn I gathered confidence.

Me: Good mrng
Vo: Good mrng, pass me ur passport & i-20

Vo: what course
Me: Computer science

Vo: why this course
Me: (Na so I start my talk ooo) In our current world, it almost impossible to imagine that someone can live without computer as computers are now part of our everyday life. I also discovered that Nigeria is now shifting her focus gradually from oil to technology so this means excellent job prospect for me upon graduation.
I believe with a degree in computer science, I will be better equipped with various skills I need to express my creativity as my strength & motivation lies in the field of networking & programming. Through my work I ll make a positive change in Nigeria's IT sector (He took time to allow me talk but he wasn't looking my direction, he was facing the computer & was typing)

Vo: Why this school?
Me: The computer science program at SMSU is structured in a way that it aligns with my career goal as I will opportuned to learn multiple programming language & different software package.
The school offer more than just classroom teaching, the school also offer me an opportunity to learn with current technology through the Schwann's IT research center which has a networked raspberry pi device running on Ubuntu Linux operating system and they have several micro computer laboratories running on windows & Macintosh operating system.
SMSU has one of the best student to faculty ratio which will aid interaction with my professors & pears. This means I ll have the opportunity of getting good one on one mentoring with my instructors. So it's good choice for me. (He didn't look my direction, he only nod his head as if he heard me)

Vo: Have u travelled outside your country?
Me: I have gotten any reason to travel outside Nigeria until now

Vo: what are your plans after graduation
Me: As soon as i graduate, I will return to Nigeria and put my newly learnt skills into practice by taking up a job as a software engineer in one of Nigeria's telecommunication companies

Vo: Are you married, do u have kid
Me: Answered No for the both

Vo: Who will be sponsoring your education?
Me: My dad

Vo: what does he do?
Me: He is a civil engineer & he has a construction company

Typed for some minutes & later brought out the blue paper & said you are not qualified at this time reasons are stated in the in the paper.

Observation:
I feel I did my best giving him good answers I outlined. He didn't look at me all through the interview he only pretended as if he was listening. I use hand demonstration & I was audible enough even though I don't have a foreign tone accent. The only thing I enjoyed was that he gave me time to express myself as I Neva expected he would be patient to listen to those answers.
All since I got there, it was only a two lady that was granted visa. One had a brain syndrome (like an slowpoke), so she was considered, while the other was a student. Every other person was receiving blue till I left.
There was a particular lady that was also denied but d Lady no gree leave the consular. She said it was her second time & they are telling her not qualified say dem no consider the stress & money. The consular just dey tell her to apply again. She argued with the woman for more than 5mins with everything them no changed their mind ooo. God ll help ooo
