Adolite: WHY WOULD YOU WANNA SPEND 5.8Millions just for 1 YEAR where some people are paying less amount or even FREE

Yea the money is quite high but the courses make a whole lot of sense and its what i can apply here in naija and round the world.

I can cut costs on the housing (12k dollars) amongst others cos I can stay with someone over there.

bigfrancis021: My best advice to you will be to post your actual interview experience here for us let us see and help you review. Cheers.

Bros n nairaland peeps. Na the full interview be this o

Vo:Pass me your docs
Me: Morning. I passed them

Vo:So where are you going
Me:Chicago

Vo: To do what
Me: To pursue a Masters Prog in Information Technology and Mgmt
Its already on the I-20 form. Abi she no dey see

Vo: Which School ?
Me: IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology)

Vo: Why do you want to study this course
Me: The program has research in wireless technologies like Wimax, CDMA, 3G, 4G technologies some of which are not in nigeria or are presently under development. I intend to expand my knowledge on this and come back to work in Nigeria as consultant/expertriate blah blah blah. cant remember all i said

Vo just keeps nodding like she wants to head a soccer ball and types on the computer.

Vo: Who is sponsoring you
Me: My Dad

Vo: What does he do
Me: He's retired but he works as an Engineering consultant and is also in real estate.

She just keeps typing on the computer

Vo: Can I see your financial statements
Me: I passed them.

I had a Fixed Deposit of 7 Million and a Bank Statement of 1 Million. I had a covering letetr on top, then the Fixed deposit then the bank statement. She just flipped everything to the bank statement, ignoring the covering letter and the fixed deposit. I was just wondering why cos the fixed deposit is what has most of the money. She looks at the 1 Million bank statement then looks at something written on her table, maybe dollar conversion rates or minimum amount for the school. She then passed the docs back to me. I was telling her from over the counter that a Fixed Deposit was included but she just says ok.

The I-20 form says minimum for 1 yr is 36k dollars which is 5.8 Mill naira which the FD clearly covers.

Vo: When did you graduate
Me: 4 years ago


Vo: Where do you work and what do you do
Me: I am a Network Engineer with Bleep Company. My job is to improve customer experience on the mobile network which include voice and data services. I sha yarned alot

She just dey type like say she dey work for business centre. Then she hands me the 214(b) paper.

She didnt ask about my GRE.

This chic no fit old pass me.

Now the plan is to apply again later in June. I am thinking this time of carrying a personal account worth the 1 year fee of 5.8Mil and the Fixed deposit of 7Mil.
Maybe I should put the Fixed deposit on top so they can see it boldly before they look at any statement or what do you think?

Getting affidavit for sponsorship, is it necessary ? I strongly feel the bank statement was the problem. Is there any other thing I might need

Also getting dates what is the best way? I tried refreshing the calendar page for visa appointment but after a couple of times it tells me I have reached the limit and till the next day.I tried loggin out and loggin in, its also the same thing.

What are the tricks for getting this date thing? I don't believe in paying a huge amount of money just to get date.

Omo I type gan for here. Any ideas and suggestions please. Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I just started following this thread after my interview and am amazed about the wealth of information found here.

I did my F1 Visa Interview in Lagos on the 9th of May and was denied. The summary of it all and what I suspected went wrong was I gave the VO a cover letter with Fixed Deposit statement (7million) from my Dad alongside his bank statement which was about 1 Million.

She spent more time looking at the Bank Statement than the Fixed Deposit. Wondered whether I should have put the account statement in the first place.

She then looks at the bank statement and looks up some figures pasted in her cubicle. I guessed there's a certain amount she was looking for or maybe the exchange rates.

My School is IIT (ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY). The fees are quite high and the fee for one year inclusive of accommodation on the I-20 is 36,000 dollars which is roughly 5.8Million. The school has good courses thats why I choose the school despite the costs.

Now I have booked an appointment for next month, I am thinking of taking the 7 Million Fixed Deposit with an account statement of the exact fees for a year (6 Mill). What do you think?

Do I need to get an affidavit that my Dad is sponsoring me or is it necessary? What else do u advise. Other interview questions were ok.
