calfavour:
so sorry about this visa delay.
F 1 visa Interview as I have learnt is really based on your presentation and not on the documents you have with you.
Just to point a few things from your responses above.
firstly (bold). I think she was expecting to hear of the role you will be playing in 'the company' (what different the MBA will add to your role on coming back). in as much as we need to keep our responses short...we also need to answer correctly (give them what they want to hear, convince them). 'What will you be doing..?' taking a study leave and coming back answers nothing to the VO's question. you suppose shine here....

The second (bold), I'm sure those courses you mentioned has code.... like GEOL 522: history and philosophy of Geology, GEOL 511: advance structural Geology and so on. mention the courses like you are eager to start taking the MBA courses

In all, it might not even be the things I have pointed out...we need to look at your confident level...I hope you were looking into the VO's eyes? I hope you prayed seriously for this? I hope the is really the right course for you at this time.

Let the gurus in the house talk...I'm only a baby here.

The codes doesnt matter....Its about his level of confidence as u ve said...

sputos:
I have continually read people's post on this trend and prepared hard for possible questions and best possible answer.

I was however refused after so much preparation. Interview transcript below

VO: What are you going to do in the US
Me; I am going for Masters in Business Administration

VO: What are you doing now?
Me: I am customer care executive working with U-connect Niigeria Ltd

VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me; I am sponsoring myself

VO: If you complete your programme , what will u be doing when you come back
Me; I am taking a study leave and will be coming back to continue my job.

VO: What are the courses you will be doing?
Me: International Biz and soceity, Quantitative methods, Biz research methods

VO; she started typing for long and gave me the blue paper.

No document asked at all.
I had all my documents; Letter from my employers confirming I applied for study leave, Bank statement, payslips for 7months, Letter of employment for present and previous work place, Academic certificates, My marraige certificate and son's birth certificate.

Behold was another guy beside me shaking as he was answering questions from male VO and was granted his visa.

I intend applying again b4 my school resumes in August. Any advise

Sorry for the delay...
Those words highlighted show u need to add a sponsor just for back up...tho u might be self sufficient....also on the aspect of courses u will be offering u just mention 3...shows u just memorized 3 n stop when the V.O didn't ask u to stop...In my case i knew up to 11 courses i will be doing...so i kept on mentioning with confidence and she stares directly at me to be sure i am still the one talking....Me just dey talk for my mind say today na today...was expecting the V.O to ask for faculty members n staff make i fire am names....

Dont get me wrong, i might be wrong or right...Just my lil cent..seeing ur transcript its ineluctable....cos i was once denied...not once but twice... i am not wishing you that but make corrections and gurus critique ur transcript..

Above all...Trust God and ask for his favor
