Visa approved (oct-19-2016) this morning 6:30am All Glory be to God Almighty, the Alfa and Omega of my journey, I can never forget that life changing date.
It was a day before my interview finger crossed very tensed started calling walspring like “Kilode” for voice mock interview while I am already at yabatech school to lodge for easy access to embassy in time,11:20pm the shower of blessing started dropping (the rain was so heavy) … fastforward….3:00am God woke me up I could not sleep anymore I started dressing up and singing praise and worship, I got to the embassy I was the second in the line then later lost my spot stayed some where in 15th, I just kept singing within my mind to ease tension, I didn’t even think about the interview anymore because I was just enjoying my celestial hymn.. fast-forward… after all security check up, I finally got to the combusting chamber (hot room), I saw all the windows naira land has been talking about, Window 5 called me in, He was not smiling at all the last applicant before was denied, I came to him and the 12 minutes drills began..
Me: good morning sir with a big smile
Vo: didn’t answer, can I have your document please?
Me: I gave him
Vo: typed for just 20secs, how do you come about BFIT?

Congrats buddy
Me: I catalog several schools based on my interest and preffered teaching approach using academically search engines such as www.engineeringschools.com, google.com, and finally narrowed my search down to technology using www.usnews.com (memorized answer from NL)
Vo: how long is this course gonna take you?
Me: it is going to take me the total period of 48 months sir
Vo: how long did you practice auto mechanics?
Me: (I was so confused, then quickly remembered that I filled 24month in my ds160 form, please note fill your ds160 form yourself) It took me the period of 24 months sir. (voice was shaking this time then I quickly put myself together)
Vo: what type of degree is this?
Me: oh! Its an undergraduate degree sir
Vo: what course are you going for? (touching my passport, I was like blood of Jesus, I didn’t just know where the confident came in from, the Lord just took control of the interview hence)
Me: I am basically going for mechanical engineering technology, which is basically about the fundamental analysis of engine, trouble shooting, manufacturing, maintainance and majored in automotive tech 113 that deals basically about the chassis, the internal combustion of engine where the intake valve take flow in of gas mixture and being ignite by the spark plug to produce a power stroke which moves the crankshaft to complete transmission ( by this time I was at the top of my voice moving from left to right with demonstrations showing confidents, while VO was shaking his head and removed his hand from my passport).
Vo: so tell me why are you going to BFIT?
Me: I am practically oriented in nature and BFIT offers a practical approach especially in research areas manufacturing and automotive. It is also affiliated to engineering firms such as procter and gamble one of the best engineering firm in united state which basically offers internships to BFIT students.
Vo: who is sponsoring you?
Me: my elder brother
Vo: what does he do?
Me: He is a mechanical Engineer who works in **oil and gas ** company as a chief Cargo survior.
Vo: ( just kept typing and I was just praying internally) here is your i-20, you are gonna be needing it at the p.o.e make sure you keep it well and pick up your visa 3 business day in one of the location in the paper…
NOTE: No document was asked, Please be confident and speak clearly.. and when you hear people say be honest it means answer question according to what you fill in your ds160 form…
Special thanks to God almighty, Walspring (the guy ready to pay with his money to make sure things go well), Bright, texrem, femi321, tominsin, islammy, so many others who has contributed to this forum one way or the other I say a very big thanks to you all, may God Almighty grant you all your heart desire Amen.

SAMUELS3:
Thank you texrem for the sevis fee payment, I just received confirmation of payment now. God bless you baba.

amanze15:
bros ehn, where you at?!

amanze15:
1. conviction is paramount
2. i went three times due to the fact that i couldnt convince them enough, P.U.S.H pray until something happen i am a living testimony to that

amanze15:
word!!! i still stare at my I-20 trying to figure out who is owing who, for instance you might see funds from department totally about 45000 dollars a session(fall and spring), but as far as this country is concerned other expenses would creep up

amanze15:
slimmy2005 told me of Frynga if you use Andriod or try Lebara talk

Enjay11:
Hey guys, how do I go about paying my sevis fee, I know it can't be paid in Nigeria so is there anyone who can help? Thanks

duchesstyo:
Many thanks Tomisin. I was contemplating a private tutor but it's okay to check out MET as you mentioned. Waiting for Textrem to also revert on his options.

Walspring:

You can go to their website and possibly pay for yourself www.ets.org/gre

SAMUELS3:

Walspring:

OluDare01:
NCAT won't give you full funding.
ETSU no get engineering.
Check out Tennessee tech, we have a good college of engineering with funding.

LagosismyHome:
...... 250 Naira to $1 is a non compliant rate oooo. You guys think am na ?, the rate is over 400 (abokifix 420 today) so why will someone do 250 .......... Try use debit card and see what the true rate is

Maybe one of help as a good will but if una expect that to be the regular trading rate then ......... You no dey 2016 compliant

adNEXT:
Boss, pls I ll appreciate your assistance on my application fee @250/$ rate.

Hello House,

Ok...i was denied on friday @ abuja embassy. My transcript goes like this.

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning sir.
VO: pass me your passport
VO: So you are going for studies
Me: yes* the Vo cuts in
VO: can i have your I.20
VO: Why Arkansas tech University
Me: having realised the great practical exposure available at the faculty of engineering through the power system laboratory & control system laboratory, it will be a good fit for me as an aspiring professional Engineer.
VO: what will you be studying
Me: A master of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering.
VO: why a university in the US, couldn't you get this education else in Nigeria
Me: i could get this degree in Nigeria but considering the blending of practical experience and theoretical experience which i seek and most Nigeria universities basically wont give me a practical exposure. Also the Us educational system is highly ranked globally* The VO Cuts
VO: how did you hear about the school
Me: a family friend attended the school some years back and recommend it, so i looked it up at usnew.com to know more about the school
VO: Why Arkansas
Me: i think i started messing up from here because my brian told me he asked why arkansas tech not why arkansas, either way i responded saying, i did apply to another school but* The VO cuts in
VO: which school
Me: Cleveland State University, and i was offered admission, but because of the masters nature in Arkansas tech which is a Master of Engineering not Master of Science* the VO cuts in
VO: who will be sponsoring u?
Me: my inlaw
VO:what does that mean
Me: my sisters husband
VO: what does he do?
Me: He is a senior Financial Account @ Shell Nigerian
VO: Do you have anything to show his financial capability?
Me: Yes...handes the statement of account to him
VO: why does the account go from nothing to something real quick?
Me: that is his salary account which you will spot the constant salary from shell every month ending, so he withdrawals it most times
VO: why did he loan so much money {28million in march)...starts typing
Me: He didn't loan the money, he is financially capable and also owns a property in PH that generates him more money...bla bla bla, VO was stil typing.
VO: sorry i wont be approving ur visa.

My people in the house, kindly help and tell me wat to change before next interview. Though i equally bleeped up too, i didnt Carry sponsorship letter, letter from shell starting his gross income, also his pay slip and all these are available. He currently earns abt 2million plus mnthly.

Please help to tell me where my responses were out of place and what can be done in respect of the financial capability of my sponsor.

Note: i think i was also a lil bit nervous, the questions were flying in and he looked and sounded mean, everybody was avoiding him that morning.
