Hello guys
My friend's Visa was denied today
Here is his transcript

Him:good morning
VO: good morning

VO: why do you want to go to the United States
Him: For my bachelor's degree in biology

VO: what school will you be going to
Him: Minnesota State University, Moorehead

VO: how many schools did you apply to
Him: I applied to four schools

VO: name them
Him: eastern Michigan university (I'm not sure about the name), Mississippi Valley State university, Minnesota state university, and one other one sha

VO: do you have any siblings
Him: yes

Vo: any relative in the US?
Him: no

VO: pass your bank statement. Who is your sponsor
Him: *passes it* my dad

VO: what does he do
Him: he's an estate agent
He said his consular kept on typing and typing. After a minute, his consular now said "you're not qualified to enter the US".
I'm kind of confused here. At first, I thought it was his deficit cause he has a deficit of around 20k but his bank statement had around 11m and it wasn't a business account.
Please guys, is it his transcript or he just wasn't in luck. What do you think he should do

Tohajan:

Hey guys, my Visa was approved this morning at the Lagos consulate. Here is my transcript

VO:good morning
Me:good morning

VO: pass your i20 and passport
Me: *hands it over*

VO: do you have any relatives in the United States?
Me: yes, my sister

VO: where does she stay
Me: I mentioned the name of the state

VO: what does she do
Me: she's a student

VO: why did you choose to go to Mcneese
Me: Mcneese state university has an abundance of school spirit including various campus activities to choose from
I noticed she was shaking her head so I stopped talking

VO: you haven't answered my question
Me: the department of biology at Mcneese State University advances student knowledge through a wide range of opportunities to enter the work force or continue their education
She was still shaking her head, so I started shaking

VO: we know that, I need a specific reason
I got really scared so I started blabbing along the lines of "it has the technological and reseach facilities that will aid my learning"
She still continued to shake her head

VO: all schools in the United States do that, I haven't heard your reason for picking this school
Me: Mcneese gave me the highest scholarship which is why I chose to go there
Then, she nodded

VO: that is what I wanted to hear. So, who will be sponsoring your education
Me: my mom

VO: what does she do
Me: she's an accountant that works with XYZ company

VO: can I see her bank statement
Me: sure
This is where my heart was beating frantically because the money there wasn't up to the estimation of my fees but that was the best my mom could do

VO: does she have other bank accounts
Me: yes, she does

Vo: she just smiled and said "come and pick your Visa in 3 days time"
I was literally crying on the spot. I couldn't stop saying "thank you ma" because everyone who went before was denied but I didn't lose hope
So, all in all, thank you guys. This thread has been nothing but helpful to me and I hope others will benefit from this thread

Please, can I print out my bank statement like 9 days prior to my interview?

Thanks @dreambound
I'll make the changes as you advised
Are there any other questions I should be aware of?

Hi guys. I joined this thread recently and I've read a lot of people's transcripts so I made my proposed transcript.

Please, your opinions will be of great use to me

P.S: my interview is next week Wednesday

Me: good morning
VO: good morning

VO: Pass your i20 and passport
Me: *hands it over*

VO: why do you want to go to the US
Me: I want to go to the US for my bachelor's degree in Biological Science at Mcnesse State University

VO: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: five schools

VO: and how many gave you admission?
Me: all of them

VO: Name them
Me: Alcorn State University, Lincoln University, Mcneese State University, Minnesota State University, Mississipi Valley state university

VO: how did you get to know about Mcneese?
Me: with the use of educational resources, I conducted an online research on various schools that offer biological science as a bachelor's degree program and Mcneese state university was amongst the universities whose requirements matched my profile.

VO: why do you want to study in the United States
Me: it is acknowledged that getting a higher education and a degree in the United States is prominent and dignified so I see a foundation degree in the US as the best thing to do

VO: why biology
Me: I have always been captivated by the evolution and relation of living organisms. While in high school, I took biology classes because it was a vast subject based on natural science which increased my knowledge about the study of life and living organisms, generally. Thus, biology seems the most appropriate for my advancement into the health sector.

VO: why did you decide to pick Mcneese over other schools
Me: Mcneese State University is distinctive to me for various reasons. Firstly, it is located I'm the heart of its city, Louisiana which offers many cultural and diverse opportunities for students. Also, it has an abundance of school spirit, which includes various campus activities to choose from. One thing I like about Mcneese is, though they're known for having a large population of students, they have showed interest in everyone of them including their future students who have applied to the school

VO: what are your study plans
Me: introduction to biology, general chemistry and pre calculus algebra, along with my freshman year's courses

VO: when did you finish your O'level
Me: last year

VO: I see you have a partial scholarship, who will be shouldering the remaining responsibilities
Me: my mom

VO: what does she do
Me: She is an accountant who works with XYZ company

VO: Pass me an evidence
Me: *hands it over*

Constructive criticism is allowed, please
Any other possible questions that could be asked too, will be much appreciated. Thanks
