I was delayed at the Lagos Consulate last year and I hope to go back soon for interview.Intially, I went with EIU and my course was sustainable energy now I hope to go with TAMUK which is Electrical Engineering...
I envisage this question:what has changed about your application.
Here is the response I came up with:
My current application is across various domains as it combines not just science and technology management but emhasized engineering which address more of my professional problems.
This application is more broad,opens me to different challenges as compared to the a more specific and narrower previous..

Please help critique

@Lagosismyhome

You should prepare for questions like why did you change your school?
why did you change the course?
Is EIU better than TAMUK on ranking?

jkzie:


Do you mean one can tranfer his sevis fee from one school to another upon decision to not to attend the ealier school?

Yes!

I have missed the house!!!

Auditmonkey:
How many times can you change schools?

I mean get your SEVIS transferred?

I am not sure if there's a limited number of times you can do that. I have someone who did it thrice.

Hit me up if you wanna make payments here in the US.

Wish ya all success in your forthcoming interviews!!!

Too obvious!!

Legit215:
Someone of 17 years of age how can he show family ties to his home country while applying for a student visa into a university to make the interview more appealing

You dont have issues with ties. Just hit them up at the embassy prepared. You will surely get the visa.

HMU for sevis payment!

Visa success Stories for #spring2019, where art thou?
I want to read success stories!

roniex2:
Good afternoon guys.
I actually went through some past threads of this Topic but I couldn't get my answer as most of the students applying abroad are graduates. Please kindly answer my questions

Are there schools that admit students into their undergraduate programs without SAT/TOEFL but just WAEC?
Also, Do I need to write TOEFL? Cos I wrote English in my WAEC and passed it.

Apply to ETSU if you can!

Hello good people.... The queen of silent followers association over here whup whup

July 21st, 7:30 I was interviewed by the beautiful black American Lady (the young light-skinned one), she was just so calm and focused and it really helped me regain my confidence. Whenever she asked a question I didn't have an immediate answer, I would say excuse me.... The time it takes for her to reply, I was already thinking up an answer. I did breathe-in-breathe-out exercise at the beginning.

She was just staring at me and smiling, not typing much.... I couldn't afford to fidget or flinch at any question.

I: Good morning ma'am

VO: Good morning, and how do you do?
I: I am great, thank you and you?

VO: good, good. pass me just your i20 and passport please. So what's your course of study?
I: Masters of social work at east Tennessee State University in Johnson city Tennessee

VO: what do you do now?
I: I am currently employed at xyz specialist center, a special needs school that caters to children with developmental disorders like autism, ADHD and Down's syndrome. As a program facilitator, my main duties are (she cuts me off, she was cross-checking with my DS160 throughout)

VO: so who would be sponsoring this trip?
I: I got a merit scholarship that covers 50% of my tuition, my great-uncle and sister would cover the rest of my expenses. Then she goes through my i20

VO: Why didn't you apply to more affordable programs?
I: well most of the other schools expect their MSW students to pick a concentration at the second year but since I don't have a BSW nor basic SW knowledge, I wanted programs that offer a generalist practice model where I would be able to experience every aspect of the profession

VO: any standardized tests
I: yes, I sat for the GRE with a score of 314 and IELTS with an overall band score of 8

VO: who would you be staying with? Do you know anyone that has applied to or attending this school?
I: I will be staying on campus at the Buccaneers ridge apartment and already made a deposit. No I don't know anyone at the school

VO: how then did you know about the school
I: I made use of the worksheet available on the EducationUSA website and was able to solidly define my priorities. Then I researched for schools using socialworkdegreeguide.com, usnews, mastersportal and gradcafe and I was able to shortlist the programs fitting my requirements.

VO: What other schools did you apply to and how many admits?
I: southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, University of Maine at Orono, Michigan State University at East Lansing, Ohio State University at Columbus and Georgia State at Atlanta. I was admitted by four of them.

VO: can I have bank statements to backup your claims (handed over my sis first, savings with over #11m) what does your sister do?
I: she is a level 13 civil servant with the Lagos State govt

VO: (just looks at front page of the statement), has she ever left the country?
I: No, she hasn't

VO: looks at my Uncle's (>$100k), where does he reside and what does he do?
I: He stays at Maryland and is a real estates agent

VO: how did he get to the US?
I: (laughing) he's my great-uncle and it would have been rude for me to ask him that, it was a long time ago even before my mum was born. From the stories passed down, I hear he was given a federal scholarship when he was in secondary school and later citizenship, I don't really know specifics, you know how stories can change when passed from generations to generations.

VO: (laughing along with me) congratulations, I would be approving your visa..... Blah blah DHL.... Blah blah i20.... POE
I: thank you ma'am, I do hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
VO: I hope so too, thank you

This is my second interview, was denied June 27th.... Will dig that up and post later.

It would be remiss of me not to thank the wonderful people of this thread especially Texrem (wonderful man with a beautiful soul), Sorelee, Walsprings, lagosismyhome, profojah, meritdee and sponge3.

Congratulations! God bless amelika!

Anybody studying Masters in Public administration should please DM me!

sirhamilton:


You got mail!

Seen! Hit me up this weekend.

Beautyaddy:


Yeah Right! How do you know that?

I know the bitter truth hurts...lol!

Tell the house if that's what you used?

Nobody should come down here and keep tarnishing our image as Nigerians. This is a public forum, you don't mess it up with assumptions and unconfirmed info.

All i want is keep everything on low key, unless you can prove we do on this forum.. As far as i am concern, people on this forum are sane.

Everybody, keep your head up and do what is right!

vikturaikay:
Please I am having issues getting a flight to Cleveland Ohio. Can I book a flight to New York and then connect to Cleveland by road. Or will it pose a problem at my POE. You know like " you are going to Cleveland, why stop in new York. Please I need an urgent suggestion because my school is about resuming thanks. Walspring Lagosismyhome, ijebuboy

You can take greyhound bus to ohio. take the flight to new york. Depending on your pocket.

justsaypie:
Hello house,

I have a question to ask, is it possible that your visa is denied after you have gotten the white paper and asked to come back in 3 days to pick your passport?
I was chatting with a friend last night and he was explaining to me that someone he knows was denied after getting the white paper from the embassy, reason was that the 'VO/Embassy checked the documents he submitted with the school during his application and discovered that he submitted a fake account statement'...
I have a hard time believing this but I need to be sure and confirm from gurus on here that have more experience with stuff like this.

I have seen someone approved and denied 3days later. So i told him to email the embassy and in 2-3days later it showed approved.

AfonjaBoston:


This boy whey just get student visa yesterday done turn guru ;

Lol..Na soo

Femmyy90:
