Congrats bro.....how were you able to refire within one week after the denail?

Reapplied the next day after denial and took the next available appointment day

Good evening guys, here's my transcript:
Got to the embassy at about 5:45am, after all the security and documents check that started by 6am.. We were on the queue (I was 3rd on the queue) waiting for the vos to arrive and 2 vos came at about 6:55am one was the lady that denied me last week and the cgi guy directed the 2 guys before me to her, the other vo who was at window 5 beckoned on me to come & here it goes:
Vo: good morning and how are you
Me: fine and you
Vo: pass me your passport and I20
Me: passed them to him
Vo: why did you choose the Uhv?
Me: the Uhv was recommended to me by a lecturer in the University I graduated from who is also an international study consultant and I did my research on the school and discovered the school has great research facilities as a public research University which aligns with my interest because I intend to do a research on how information technology innovations can be used to develop local businesses and retailers and this would help me in contributing my quota to improving on the economy of Nigeria which is presently on a downturn (vo cuts in)
Vo : what do you intend to do with this when you return to Nigeria?
Me: I intend to work as an information systems consultant and set up an IT firm to help local businesses or companies and retailers succeed here in Nigeria (vo cuts in again)
Vo: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3 schools
Vo : name the schools
Me: mtsu,cmu and Uhv
Vo: how old are you? (Hian! See question)
Me: 26
Vo: when did you graduate?
Me: November 2014
Vo: what school did you graduate from?
Me: University of Benin
Vo: what course did you study
Me: electrical/electronics engineering

Then he started typing for about 20 secs and stopped and looked at me and said
Vo: where does Patrick live?
Me: (thinking mogbe! This guy na white wizard? How u take know my brother? Then I remembered he's looking at my ds160 on the computer ) he lives in Manvel, Texas
Vo: who is he to you?
Me: he's my elder brother
Vo: are you going to be staying with him when you get to the US?
Me: chuckled and said no I'll be staying at jaguar hall which is the accommodation provided by the school
Vo: what does Patrick do for a living?
Me: he's an oil and gas project engineer working with a & b incorporation
Vo: how did Patrick get into the US?
Me: he got into the US from the UK through the job he was offered in the US
Vo: is he elder or junior to you?
Me: (shebi I don first tell you before ni) elder

Then he starts typing again and I stood there firing prayers in my mind, then he said
Vo: did you write any test?
Me: yes I wrote the gmat
Vo: how did you perform?
Me: fair.. 16 verbal 36 quantitative (he cuts in)
Vo: do you have your report here
Me: yes and passed it him

Then he looks at it and returns it to me and continued his typing....then I noticed he has separated my I20 from my passport then I started expecting good news, after typing for long he returns my i20 and gave me a white paper and said
Vo: pick up your visa in 3 business days from today and have a nice stay in the US
Me: thank you
And I ran out and started shaking all the security men out of excitement, one hustler ran to me and said I should give him something for d celebration, as I gave him 100naira Na so the rest rush me o.I run for my life o

I thank God and the gurus here, Mr oludare may God

So I can shout alleluia,i can shout alleluia, I can shoutttttttttttttt, praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....
You all may know why am singing this song but I'll say it anyway. Visa approved at Lagos consulate 6:30am,my 3rd attempt.. It's still like a dream to me but I know the Igwe of the universe and the owner of the US embassy (the almighty and ever living God) earned it for me.. Please bear with me as I'll post my transcript later cos for now I need to find my way around Lagos to my uncle's place cos am totally lost here

Hi guys, please here is the transcript of my interview in which I was denied last week. I need u guys to bombard me with all the corrections u can..thanks
Vo: tell me about your studies
Me: I am going for my masters in computer science with concentration in computer information systems
Vo: what's it about
Me: (the question took me unaware cos I didn't expect it) its about the study of the management of information through digital medium by covering subject areas such as data processing, software and hardware design etc
Vo:why did you choose University of Houston Victoria?
Me :the University of Houston Victoria as one of the component institution of the University of Houston system is a well research oriented public University and this aligns with my interest because I have an interest in doing a research on developing local businesses and companies using information technology innovations... And I also got a 3000$ scholarship. Vo: (immediately reaches for the blue paper and hands it over to me).. Am sorry you are not legible for the visa approval
I politely asked her why and she said the letter will explain to me

methodjim:
I think thats fine, in as much as u have the consent of the other signatory and letter of consent from your sponsor. I hope the account is boyant enough? if your sponsor is working you can plead for his payslip and go with it but if its business plead for the required documents. sucess on your visa

I have his payslip for 10 months

Good morning guys, hope presenting a statement of account of a joint account won't affect my chances although I have a letter of sponsorship from my sponsor and a letter of consent from the other co-signatory

Mekurexx:
St..cloud?

University of Houston Victoria

Please guys my school just gave me a scholarship of $3000 after I received my i-20, what do I do as it is not reflected on the i-20?

worry359:
Just tell the TRUTH then you will not have problems remembering stuff.

Thanks, I am just trying to build my confidence and I believe answering questions regularly would help me on that and brush me up more.

Please gurus I need u guys to help me with mock interviews.

youngmoney416:

Hello peeps, about to pay my visa application fee and book interview appointment today. Please guys what are my chances with Lagos or Abuja embassy?

plauses:
So I had my Visa Approved this morning,

Here's the transcript

Appointment time 7:30am Abuja Embassy.
I arrived the Embassy by 6am Expecting to have a very long queue. But the crowd wasn't so much.
At 7 am they called us in to do verification and then wait for the VO to arrive.
They arrived at 7:50, and the woman at window 8 had denied everyone she interviewed. I was praying not to go there.
Then I was called and alas Window 8.

Plauses: Good morning ma
VO: Good morning, how do you do?
Plauses: I'm doing good thank you and you? How do you do too?
VO: I'm well. So give me your I-20 and passport
(I handed them over)
VO:so I see you were denied a student Visa about 11 years ago, did you go on to continue your studies?
Plauses: yes I did
VO: so I see you're going to do a Doctorate, what's your highest level of education?
Plauses:I have a bachelors degree
VO: I see you have a graduate assistantship, can you explain how that works?
Plauses: I get a full Tuition Waiver and and annual stipend in exchange for working in Research or As. graduate Assistant.
VO: so who is paying for the balance of your fees?
Plauses: I have savings from working, and my mum is co-sponsoring.
VO: do you know what kind of research you'd be doing?
Plauses: yes I'll be involved in Cancer research, my dad died from a liver cancer a couple of years back and that experience fueled my interest in cancer research.
VO: I see you work, where do you work?
Plauses: I told her my workplace
VO: what do you do:
Plauses: starts explaining (VO interrupts)
VO: Your visa has been approved, you will collect it from this destination in 3 days. Good luck.
Plauses: thank you

Congrats bro, one of the rare Abuja embassy transcripts I've seen on this thread

Donprada:
hello great people, my school said I should register with eshipglobal so that they can pickup my i20 for me but when I inquired about the fee, I saw that eshipglobal charge about $106 which is too much (mehn gbese with dollar naira rise). Please whats the possible cheapest and efficient way to get my i20? Can I just work to fedex/dhl office here in lagos and schedule a pickup? Does it work that way? Please its urgent

If eshipglobal is d only option they offered u, I suggest u go with it, uhv did same to me, they offered me 2 options, eshipglobal or they mail to me which will take 5 to 7 weeks to arrive. I paid $109 for mine, thanks to my elder brother who has been covering all the cost for me. I know $106 is much but it's a worthy sacrifice. You could still search for other options though

dickoflife:
You are welcome.

And thank you once again

dickoflife:
If you ask us who we go come ask?

Being sarcastic wouldn't actually help me now. Thanks

ProfTPE:
You're right. I began reading from "Season 5" for my preparation.There's really a lot of information here. You have all you'll need.

I just hope am not too late, I just started following this week

Ever since I came across this thread i stopped googling possible visa interview questions, I dunno but something within me is telling me d info and transcripts i see here would help me. Am I wrong or right? Still waiting for my i-20 though

Holudarey01:
You don't have any problem. Elect and CS are related.

Thanks a lot

aadeyi:
Both are related but be ready to answer question on why the change in course of study?

Thanks bro, I would have come up with a suitable answer. The main reason would make d vo reject without a half thought.

Hi everyone, am new to this thread, I have gained admission into 3 schools (University of Denver, middle Tennessee state University and university of houston, Victoria). University of houston Victoria has being my choice all along. I am still waiting for my i-20 from UHV before I apply for my f1. Thank God I came along this forum, please I need all the info I can get, I studied electrical/electronic engineering as my undergraduate course and I am going for masters of computer science (information systems). Please will this discrepancy affect me in my f1 interview? Please I need to be grounded, more questions coming please

Violence against women is bad and we totally condemn it, but it would have been more credible to tell a full story like how everything started and what lead to your younger brother attacking you. The only thing we can get from this your post is that he just beat you up.. I hate to say this but looks like the post was made to garner sympathy

The video shows the impeached speaker storming the house with loyalists and thugs to seize the mace and evict the new speaker but was resisted by those loyal to the new speaker which lead to a free for all fight. Quite shameful!!

The same pius odubu that is a major stakeholder in ayelala spiritual shrine...he should know that it's not every member of the public he can deceive with his press statements being that some people know him too well and know what he's capable of doing

Edo State Governor Comrade Adams Oshiomhole was among eminent personalities who received an award from the catholic archdiocese of Uromi. The event provided an avenue for Governor Adams Oshiomhole and PDP Chieftain Chief Tony Anenih to openly reconcile after years of bickering.

A fan tweeted this to him yesterday and today the singer announced he was involved in an accident. With this, Kiss Daniel will live long...
