Also for guys already in the usa which plans will you advice me to get... And what's the easiest way to reach my family back in naija they have no skype, no whatsapp
Use T mobile and you should download Rebtel on your phone and buy credit in it
It's very cheap to call Nigeria

HoneyBronzed:
Anybody travelling with Lufthansa or Airfrance? What are the fares like? Are there cheaper airlines? My school is in DC but my POE will be JFK and I plan to leave for DC by bus or train the day after I arrive. Do I need to book my ticket from NY to DC here in nigeria? I plan to do that when I get to NY.
Airfrance is cool, I came in with Airfrance
You gonna have a stop over in either Paris or Amsterdam
Airfrance is about 340k, and please book a ticket from Naija to be on the safe side you can pay with your master card

Hey,
Young man your red flags were NOT what pulled you through.

But the [/b]CONSISTENCY[b] in your story line and the [/b]CONFIDENCE[b] that went with it.

. . . when you get here dont just throw those visa inteview "qualities" away, maximize them and you sure will do better than some distracted lot.
Thanks bro

V.O: where in the US are you going to?

Me: I told her.

V.O: why the school.

Me: one of the not so many schools offering international relations as a major at Post Grad level as opposed to many other schools offering it either as a minor or at undergrad levels only.

Also, the course curriculim suit my academic expectation and career aspirations bla bla bla

V.O: How many schools did you apply to?

Me: 3 - OAU, Webster abd Univ of Oklahoma

V.O: Why did you apply to these Schools or why did you not go to these schools (I honestly did not hear these question very well).

Me: i muddled everything up here by giving 2 answers to the 2 questions I thought I heard.

V. O: What do you do?

Me: told her

V.O: who's paying

Me: Parents

V.O: what was your first degree in

Me: Told her

V.O: did you do your first degree outside the country?

Me: No, I did it here in Nigeria.

V.O: why international relations?

Me: told her how my career goals of lecturing and being a diplomat align with international relations.

V.O: ok, I am sorry but you do not qualify for visa at the moment, you can reapply again.

Me: smiled, took the blue paper and my documents, turned around and left.
You were the person on a white native right?

DeeTus:
Great, congrats. Your spirit of withstanding pressure got you through.

In the room, your chances of getting the visa was placed 50-50 so the VO stretched you all the way and finally approved your application which is very fantastic.

The secret to visa interview is just about how the CO feels about you within a few seconds of talking to you. Some VOs make decisions by looking into the computer, others do so by listening to what you say and as well as both.

Congrats once more.
Thanks Bro
