Good morning, @Lagosismyhome.
We finally went for the interview (Lag, young white lady). I didn't go in with my sister (14+), my dad did. So may not be able to get all information exactly how it went for the transcript.
They asterisked the last paragraph of the white paper and gave them back her passport. Do you have an idea about what the chances would be like and how long we may need to wait for a feedback?

VO: Good morning
HER: Good morning ma'am
VO: Pass me your document
HER: Have them
VO: Why this school?
HER:SAC High school was recommended by my Aunty who made all the research and I also got a scholarship for the duration of study
VO: Okay, so you mean you will live with your aunty?
HER:Yes
VO:When did your Aunty become a citizen of the US
HER: (She didnt know that but my dad answered). she got married to my brother who was already a citizen.

HER:The school looked at my transcript

cosade:
You qualified for a visa because you can fund your trip.

LagosismyHome:
That very good....some years ago it was not allowed for Nigerian applicants to use a US card to register for SAT

folmus:
Are you sure you can register for SAT online in Nigeria? Only if it's part of the new SAT. If all your options are exhausted and still unable to register, you can contact. How far with your IELTS prep? Goodluck.

Lol...typical Nigerian, always stand aside to castigate and point out our problems but never do anything to salvage the situation.
Funny how you listed all those things above without mentioning that their young able bodied men like you didn't leave the country then for a greener pasture and at the same time hoping those left behind would be busy inventing electricity,oil,nuclear energy and automobiles.
Why didn't you leave America for Nigeria after your studies to contribute your own quota to the country? Were you born in America? What have you done to help Nigeria be a better country like the country you are in?
You once posted here that you've both American and British citizenship,so I'm asking you this, while those people were developing their country,were they looking for other nationals citenzenship here and there.
I see you as someone who has this holier than thou attitude, egocentric and ...
Don't come here to be the type of Nigerians that rant online while enjoying the comfort of America. If you're so pained and so bothered about Nigeria, there's nothing stopping you from booking the next available flight to Nigeria and let's build the nation together to be a better place for us all to dwell in, since our leaders have failed us,keep failing us and will always fail us .

Jesusbabygirl:
Good evening house and thanks for the congratulatory messages.

My interview was quite short and the VO...very pleasant (honestly he was). Also, I was the first person to be interviewed at the embassy today (NIV). Here is my transcript:

Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning, how are you doing?

Me: Very well thank you
VO: Please pass me your passport and I-20

VO: So what are you going to study in Iowa State University?
Me: I am going for Masters in Business Administration

VO: Nice, so how is it working at ....(my workplace)
Me: Challenging but interesting

VO: I see you have a scholarship, what type of scholarship is it?
Me: It is a research assistanship, which means I will be working with a faculty

VO: So how will you fund the other expenses
Me: I have been sav...(VO helped complete my statement "saving up right" (Me: Yes)

VO: How did you find out about the school?
Me: Online research

VO: Have you travelled before?
Me: No

VO: Pick up your visa in....

LOBATAN!.

Honestly, I was in shock the first few minutes after the interview that I had got my visa approved. I really appreciate this great thread because I learnt most (actually everything) about the process here. @Lagosismyhome @Walspring @ElDeeVee, special thanks to you for your time and assistance and special special thanks to my sweet hubby @12inches1, for the encouragement (seriously this US visa journey is not an easy or cheap one).

So, do I have tips...yes I do!
1. Be completely honest: Like LadyG will always says, tell the whole truth. Last year, I was denied a b1/b2 visa but I didn't get worried when I had to apply for F1 because I told the truth in my previous (and of course F1) application
2. Prepare, Prepare and Prepare: I am not saying cram words to tell the VO (definitely not), but please know your stuff (your course, your duties at work, etc). It boosts your confidence level at the interview, even if you end being asked only "what is your name"
3. Ask for God's grace (my most important): Irrespective of what anyone might say, there is a supernatural that controls the natural. Me I told God that I didn't want a stressful interview (all those ones where you have to recount your 4,5yrs experience in school in form of questions) and he answered me.

All the best to those who have not gone for their own interviews and those at other stages of the process too.

Shittalek:
Greetings everyone,

Have been a silent follower of this thread for about seven months and i promised myself to post transcript when i have my visa approved. A day without reading people's transcript and contribution is like missing an episode of a series movie. I read all the way from part four till date and gained immensely from everyone's contribution.

I never envisaged the nature of the interview i had today. It was pure grace favor, luck and mercies of God that worked for me today. Over- preparation worry me no be small because have been developing transcript for over 4 months and kept editing every now and then.

Interview went thus:

VO: Good morning, passport and I-20
Me: Good Ma'am
VO: Tell me your study plan
ME: I am going to; VO cuts, she dint even allow me say anything before interrupting
VO: What do you
ME: I work with; VO cuts again, she dint let me complete my sentence.
VO: Do you have any certificate and what did you study in your undergraduate
ME: I studied Business Administration and am also a graduate member of NIM
VO: Started typing for ages. She barely looked at my face all through the interview process. Your visa has been approved and i was given a pick letter.

No document was asked.


Special thanks to a good friend and brother Halidaf for ginger and info, Uncle Ope Salami, SirRiddy for the SEVIS fee and Warriboy. You all are favored by God's grace.
