The bolded is unnecessary, whatever goes on in pms shouldn't be put out here and there is a certain level of trust he has for you, for him to have contacted you; you shouldn't use that against him. However, the guy needs to calm down.

Don't quote me again. What is wrong about saying he is reapplying, which is the most important thing right now? I got his back because he's determined and i am giving him my full support. I don't want anyone to be misleaded. Period!

Advice for f1 visa applicants. Some of you may have been denied visa 5times but please don't give up. Just apply to study in United Kingdom, Australia,canada,new Zealand or Europe maybe after graduation apply for masters or PhD in the United States. Life is mysterious and there are other opportunities just be prayerful and God will help you. Thanks

I can tell you. You dont know anything when it comes to visa to the united states. I ve once been in your situation. If it doesnt work out for you doesnt mean you should discourage people here. Nothing works for a pessimist. You sent me messages that you are reaaplying again and i gave you the go ahead and advice. Here you are telling people to go to other country. Telling them to stop chasing their dreams. I knew of someone that got it the 8th time. What are you fussing about here? You re still young and you have a long way to go. Take chilled water and prepare for your next interview. Pray to God for success. If you need my help you have my digit. Goodluck

All airlines have good and bad reviews. The same Delta he was talking about forcibly kicked passengers off their planes some months ago. Everyone/airline has their good and bad traits. So don't post that of Air Maroc if you won't post the bad reviews of other airlines. Because some people actually have good experiences with the same Air Maroc.

Customer review of Delta.

I had a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta and connecting flight from Atlanta to Virginia. "Due to weather" we were in the air for an hour on which I got left behind from my connecting flight. I got to the gate at 10.30 and the flight was departing at 10.40 and the plane left early. I was left behind in an airport and city I don't know. I proceeded to the gate where Delta employees were "helping" customers, but in reality they weren't. One employee started yelling at a customer for not standing in a single file line. After waiting for almost an hour to see if I could catch another flight to my final destination, I finally got to the counter and the delta employee was rude, not helpful and wasn't listening to my needs. All he offered was a flight the next day at 12.07 pm and told me if I didn't like it I could get on the phone and find an alternative. So I got on the phone with a Delta representative, explained my situation and she wasn't helpful either. I asked to be put on a flight with the partner airline that was leaving that same night and her response was no. After being on the phone for 45 mins all I got was a flight from atl to Norfolk at 7am. I got to Norfolk at 9.05 so had missed my interview and was also one hour and 30 mins from from my destination. I am not pleased at all with the way Delta managed the situation. On top of all that my connecting flight from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale got delayed by 2 hours and no information was given on why it was delayed. Needless to say I will not recommend or flight with Delta again!

P.S: I don't work for Air Maroc.

Please, nobody should come down here and castigate airlines for people. I took this same airline without any issues. Please, stop discouraging people about airlines. Royal air maroc is good and cheap. I was fortunate to book for the 16hrs trip with just 4hrs layover there at casblanca. I enjoyed my layover. If you are having a layover of 17hrs. My friend recently told me about the new development. You will be lodge in a motel. People should please stop saying trash about airlines here. If its that easy why dont you have your own airline. Thank you gav for your input.

How do you know that?

Please Justwise delete that boy's comment immediately. Please!

OluDare01:
I won't mention names but they are more than 5

Na you dey answer them...I told them blunt blank. If you re interested, I am up. If not i will pass!

OluDare01:
Please if you have trust issues, DON'T pm me.
Go to seme border and make your sevis payment.
I've seen a lot in the past couple of weeks and I don't want further drama. If you think sevis fee payment is a money making venture, cut the crap! I drive about 6 miles to make the payment, I don't charge you people for gas and some people still have the effrontery to question me.

Thats what you see...

Congrats to everyone who got their visa. More visa success stories in Part 12 like never before. #teamfall2017

LONG POST ALERT: MY VISA TRANSCRIPT
SEASON 1: The first time I visited this thread I was overwhelmed with the information overload in fact I didn't know where to start but soon decided to download the app and talk to someone to help with Mock interview as my interview was for Wednesday, July 5.

By Sunday morning July 2nd, I was hit with terrible malaria that I couldn't talk or move but by Tuesday it was better leaving me with big sores on my mouth.
Naso I found my way to Lasgidi and I called Walspring who pointedly told me I don't need a mock it's nit necessary and that he doesn't even help people with that, I said thank you jejely and moved on to Lagosismyhome, the madam just tell me say I dey do last minute rush say she no get my time and she was truly busy but not relenting Mr John sent me Texrem number and I called him.

Fiam! I knew I hit my jackpot immediately we spoke because he gave me on the spot interview and we began the journey. I called him about six different times, he would correct and I will re-practice over again, don't forget he stays abroad it was international call so I was blowing money in fact I had to just load call credit from my bank account. Till 4am, we were on it, sometimes he would deny me visa due to my performance and at times he would give me but all these sharpened me.

SEASON TWO: I left for the embassy and the powers that be ensured I lost my way after 3rd mainland bridge, uhmmm even Google Map no gree help, network run Comot and I had to be asking for directions for a road I know so well, cut it short it took me one hour to get to Walter Carrington. The official told me I was late angrily but I apologized and he later left me, it was raining and the tension was making me go to the rest room every ten minutes. I eventually did the normal routine check and finally entered for interview proper.

SEASON THREE: I was directed to the bulky Asian man at WINDOW 1. (The guy face strong no even smile atall)

VO: GOOD MORNING
ME: Good morning sir

VO: Pass me your passport. (I gave him). Why are you going to the US?
ME: I will be travelling to pursue my masters degree in Communication studies at Tarleton State University, Texas.

VO: Give me your I-20? (I gave him)

VO: Why did you choose the school?
ME: Asides from the fact that I will be recieving as a plus to my degree, a dual certificate in Organizational comm and Computer Mediated Communications, the program infuses a blend of modern and traditional methods of comm. (cuts me short).

VO: A lot of schools offers this same course in the US why are you picking this school.
(Truth is I just told him some jargons I can't remember. Then He looked at me like "e be like say this girl dey craze" and then he lost his cool).
I said why are you choosing a small school in the middle of nowhere in the US for your program? (and he looked straight into my eyes, I felt like disappearing but braced up).

ME: I want to become an Internal Communication specialist and media analyst for Multinational corporations and I have been working with Dr Jennifer Edwards from the university who is the Executive director of Texas Social Media Research Institute on a paper (he smiled and cuts me)
VO: Who will be sponsoring your trip?
ME: My aunt she owns chains of petrol and gas stations scattered all over Nigeria.

VO: Have you ever traveled out of the country before?
ME: No.

(He looked at the two papers looked at my face and just turned his face to his computer picked one paper without turning and he turned back and saw it was the white one, he gave me and told me to come get my visa blablabla, I didn't even hear the rest as I quickly grabbed the white paper and slipped out of the door before he changed his mind, you know you really can't rely on China tins � ). JUST LIKE THAT, OLOWOGBOGBORO stretched forth my my white paper to me and that's how I got my visa!!! He never finish o!


SEASON FOUR: I want to specially thank everyone on this thread who has ever answered any question, God bless you. I don't feel bad about those that couldn't help me, an adage says "To catch a monkey, you need to climb the the tree" so I just take it as one life experiences. Vinci500, and Mr John thanks big time. Texrem, I throway salute for you, for the sacrifice of your holiday time and all God bless you big, and I need to go and fight MTN they were just slashing my credit anyhow. Please If you are waiting for interview, pray for favour and be bold but practice remember "Faith without works is dead". In all I give the ultimate thanks to God who favoured me all through.

Watch out for Season5 titled, "You will Share Your Own Transcript"! can I hear an Ameeeeen!

A big congrats you you dearie.

Visa approved today.
I've been a silent reader on this forum, and I'm grateful for all the help I got from here.
My interview was slated for 6.30am, I got there around 5:10 in the heavy rain. Around 6 the check-ins began and I was the second person on the queue. I was almost sent back outside because I didn't have a hard copy passport with me, but fortunately for me, the passport I uploaded on my DS-160 was clear enough. I was also asked for the last page of my I 20 which I left at home, thinking it wasn't important, fortunately for me again, it wasn't really needed.
The first guy to be interviewed was approved and I was the next. Here goes:
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning sir

VO: Tell me why you chose the University of Arkansas
Me: I chose the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville because I will be working with Prof ×××× as a research assistant in his (Vo nodding, cuts in)

VO: Tell me about this program, Agricultural Economics
Me: Okay. The program will run for a duration of 24 months during which I will be required to take a minimum of 31 credit unit hours of courses. Some of these courses are Agricultural Micro-Economics, Agribusiness Finance and Econometrics. (VO typing all through this)

VO: (after typing for a bit) Your visa is approved, collect it at this location
Me: Thank you sir.

I prayed for a very short interview and I got it. The whole thing lasted for like 2 minutes or even less. I want to say thanks to all those that have been keeping this thread alive, it helped me a lot. Special thanks to @happyday, thanks for taking out time to help me.

For those preparing to go, all I can say is prepare well, be confident, pray, and don't forget any of your documents at home like me lol.

Thank you very much.

Congrats.. where you the one i conducted mock for this morning?

ElDeeVee:
I was at Lagos Consulate this morning. I was slated time was 6:30am so, I had to leave home very early. I got to the Consulate around 5:45am.
Security checks lasted like forever but alas, I got into the interview hall.
Initially, white papers were flying left, right and center but, this changed later as blue papers were also coming out.
My interview was quite short and the VO (in his late 40’s) was pleasant and nice.

Transcript below;
VO: Hello, good morning
Me: Good morning Sir

VO: Pass me your passport, I-20 and SEVIS payment confirmation page
Me: **Passed it**

VO: What are you going to study in the US?
Me: I am going for MS study in Math

VO: Why did you choose this particular school over others?
Me: I am going to the school for 3 major reasons. First, the school offered me a full GTA with tuition waiver and monthly stipends. (*** VO cuts in)

VO: How did you get the assistantship?
Me: The members of the committee in charge of selection for assistantship were quite impressed with my profile and previous academic and professional achievement.

VO: Which other schools did you apply to?
Me: 3 other schools – UNI, BGSU and UL Lafayette (Stated all in full with their respective cities and states)

VO: Tell me about the MS program.
Me: The MS program is a flexible program that focuses on key math areas like Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Numerical Analysis, Applied Math and Operations Research.

**VO typed for some seconds and then gave me the white paper.
**Me smiled and left the hall immediately.

I appreciate everyone on this thread for their wonderful tips. Special shout out to @tolutweety, @profojah1234, @texrem @oludare01, @jesusbabygirl, @libber, @toakins, @folsy, @femi321, @happyday, and everyone who has contributed to this great thread.

Tips
1. If you have funding, state it as one of your reasons for going to the school. I feel this worked for me;
2. Be bold and confident. This cannot be overemphasized;
3. Prepare, prepare and prepare - know your stuff (your course, your program structure etc);
4. Please don’t cram. Just go there and chat with the VO. The interview is nothing out of the ordinary.

Good luck, people and see you at the top.

Congrats bro..God bless your new journey.

I think you stop talking at bold about what you do in your place of work could have denied you the visa.

You just keep talking.. After he asked you the question, you standing just looking at him saying nothing is boring. please refire!
