Congrats on your visa. Are you heading to Texas A&M university? What course?

As I promised earlier, I woke up around 4am, left my badagry home around 5:03am. I got to obalende around 8:45am. A police officer accusted me and demanded to go through my docs. See gobe! He went through them and said my BS isn't genuine. We dragged the issue till around 9:20am. I was later released. I was thinking in my mind that satan 'don cum o'. I rebuked him. I got to the embassy, went through all the routines when it was time, 11am. The cgi led me to window 8, a separate room with a closed door. The guy b4 me was approved after so much discussions. With faith, I said my own will not be difficult for God. Now my turn, heart was beating fast bt I controlled it with deep long breaths. I opened the door, entered and closed it.

Me: I went for nysc which ended in 2013. My dad became seriously ill after nysc, as d only son of the family I was the only one looking after him so I couldn't search for job. Unfortunately for us, we lost him last year. ( I stopped while he was typing, I wanted to proceed but sometin in me said shut up, so I did)

Me: thank you sir
I'm so happy. I was relaxed throughout the interview. All glory to God. Despite the fact that police disturbed me, it only helped my confidence. I've been praying in my little way and also reading psalm 57, 70 and 123, also psalm 119 vs 132-135. These I believe really helped. U can read them also they will work for u

Hi guys, help me thank God my visa has just been approved. Hallelujah. Will post my transcript later in d day. Thanks for ur advise and information
