My Brother’s Transcript
THIS IS A MIRACLE AND GOD IN ACTION!!!

What I noticed is that, the information you filled on your DS-160 form has given them a picture of your profile, I think they’ve already concluded whether to issue or not before the interview, the interview is just for you to come and defend what you filled online, because We practiced over 30 questions but only these few was asked.

Congrats on getting your visa. However you committed a few of my pet peeves…

1. Obtaining a visa is not “God in action”. It’s simply satisfying visa requirements.

2. What you “noticed” has been standard practice for decades. Nothing new.

Marufahh:
Thank you very much for your advice but I actually know about my course but i was told to say pharmacy because in my i20 pharmacy was written as the second major.Also about the reason why i chose the course , i was told to make my answer emotional(I didn’t type all my answers actually,the promise is all about my late dad n how i want to fulfill a dream of mine n his.i sent a mail to you ,please kindly reply because i have few questions to ask

Please ask your questions here as they may help others.

1. Always say the truth at your interviews rather than what someone else thinks the VO wants to hear.

2. Always remember, the VO is American, they know how their educational system works. Any high school student here could have easily told you a community college would never offer pharmacy as a major.

3. Remember, your visa interview is your opportunity to show the VO that you are personally invested in your education, telling him you’re studying because of a prior promise to your dad does not convey that. It simply confirms that you have no idea what you’re doing… combined with having no clue about the difference between pharmacy and pharmacy technician.

I wish you better luck at your next interview.

NigPatriot:
The bolded part, I really got lost there. You promised your dad? Anyway I'm sure you know the lapses to work on. You need to work more on your confidence - since you're a genuine student, then this shouldn't be hard.

Marufahh:
So guys i’m new here and i got my visa denied on 9th of November in abuja .i was denied by a white male vo
Here is my transcript
Me:good morning
Vo:no reply
Vo:pass me your passport(he just took out my i20 n opened it)
V0:have you travelled before
Me:yes,I travelled to saudi arabia for pilgrimage
Vo: what the name of your school(I didn’t hear what he said at first ,then he repeated himself)
Me:wayne country community college
Vo:what course are you going for
Me:pharmacy (he wasn’t really looking at me,he was just typing on the computer )
Vo:why did you choose this course

Me: I shoose pharmacy because when i was young I promise my dad when he was serious that I would study pharmacy .....and so on
Vo:who would be sponsoring you
Me:my mum would be my sole sponsor
Vo:what deos your mum do
Me:shes a civil engineering,she has her own contruction n housing estate company (i was wanted show him documents,he just cut me off with hand and said i dont need see any document,he had this expression on his face and at this moment i was getting scared because what they say about the “dont give Vo” and how they act)
Vo:what is your highest degree
Me:i just finish my secondary school
Vo:when
Me:December 2020
Vo:December 2020?
Me:yes
Vo:what have you been doing since then
Me:i have been attending my A level class(hes still typing on the computer)
Vo: still typing
Me:i was just praying because that is when i saw only blue paper in front of him not even a single white paper ).
V0:will you return to nigeria(not still looking at me)
Me:yes I would,i plan to have my own pharmacy n help people when i get(this isn’t what I practiced tho but i was nervous,so i just saud what came to my mind
Vo:he typed for like 3 secs n then gave me the blue paper

I really dont know what i did wrong ,because i tried my best to be calm .also that day many people were rejected,i want you guys to advice me on what i did wrong before i reapply.All the transcript i have been reading are all masters students n i feel im the youngest here but i dont mind any kind of advice before my next interview

The fact that you don't know what you did wrong makes it easy to dismiss you as an unserious student.

You clearly don't have a clue what course you were admitted for. Your school is a community college (2-year college), there is absolutely no way it offers pharmacy as a major. The major is pharmacy technology... basically, folks who assist store pharmacists take medication orders.

Also saying that you chose your course of study because of a promise you made to your dad makes your interview all the more silly.

Hello Everyone
I got an information from reliable friend about Diplomatic visa that is run by an agent. I spoke with the agent about the visa they do for various countries like US, UK, Canada and other European countries.
Please I need advice about this kind of visa if it's true or it's just a scam..
The agent requested for 100k to process UK which will be out in 3wks and the visa will last for 6 months.

That your friend is "reliable" indeed. I doubt you have an idea what a diplomatic visa means.

Why don't you connect with other people in general? I would be wary of just any Nigerians in Texas. Lots of scammers there.

Enimase:
Okay even they ain’t going to read the letter I will still have it with me irrespective of anything and like I said I will apply on visit and still will mention it that I would be using the opportunity to attend her graduation Ceremony which will be holding by May 11th and 12th of 2022,well as for no appointments till 2023,we can’t say and don’t know what next year will hold I have faith things will go fine before then or better still find a way of getting appointment then.

This is laughably ridiculous. I'm not sure you understand what faith truly is... it isn't a genie in a bottle.

Also what do you mean by "find a way of getting appointment"? Is this "graduation" for your "cousin" that important that you must attend?

Enimase:
I don’t understand what you mean by “cousin sister”(Isn’t that that your cousin)
And the school already draft the letter and she send it to me this morning irrespective of it all I will still give it a try and still let them know my intentions is to visit and will be using the opportunity to attend her graduation ceremony

The embassy will not read the letter.

Enimase:
Good morning house my cousin sister she’s graduating as a pharmacist and she will like me to be part of Graduation ceremony and she’s having intention of telling the school to write me invitation and which they agree to and I just want to ask what’s the chance of getting visa and when the school write me and invite do they need to send one to the embassy too or not?

And did she need to write a personal invitation too or not needed

Thanks ��

1. This is your "cousin's sister" (isn't that your cousin too), your chances of getting the visa are slim to none.
2. The school will not send you a personal invitation.
3. The embassy is not interested in an invitation letter from your school or "cousin's sister". They will not read them.

Abdoor44:
Hello, gurus in the house, please i would like to ask some questions;

For someone who is going to attend a month of academic training together with the conference on a B1/B2 visit visa, is it compulsory or advisable that the host includes a letter to show the embassy that my insurance is covered during my stay? Although they will cover my accommodation and local transport. Please i will appreciate anyone who can assist with other necessary information that will enhance my visa interview.

Thank you in anticipation!

There is no insurance requirement for obtaining a US visa.

Jasmine90216:
Which lie did I tell you troll? You better be careful before you attract curses to your self. Don't you have better things to do than be trolling all over nairaland with your unsolicited negativity? Like I said, we know your type, never do wells, dredge of society who's biggest achievement is claiming to be living in the U.S.. I'm probably living better than you over here. This would be the last reply I waste on you.

Much of what you write says far more about you than anyone else. You sound awfully bitter... unfortunately i cant help you there.

1. Nothing you say has any effect... you do need to get away from the pseudo-religious mindset that thinks your curses have any effect other than make you look silly.

2. You posted a question on a PUBLIC forum, which means anyone can respond... so the term "unsolicited" does not apply. The problem is you aren't looking for a response, just someone to pat you on the back and calm your worried conscience that lying on a US immigration form isn't going to come back and bite you in the rear. Too bad...

3. If my biggest achievement is living in the US, why are you desperate to go there? Sounds like it is a pretty big achievement no?

4. If you're living better than me, why would you be desperate enough to lie on a visa form?

You can bluster all you want, but i refuse to cater to miscreants who continue to ruin the visa chances of others because of their own selfish wants. Be angry if you wish...

lordchosen:
Your Chances of getting visa is slim....general helper wages is too low for you to secure visit visa in any western countries.....

I see your own negativity here...

the hypocrisy.

Jasmine90216:
He is such a terrible despicable human being. Being in such an exposed environment for years like he claimed didn't have any effect on his manner of approach at all. Can you imagine this despicable excuse of a human being telling me I'm going to be denied a visa? Must be a descendant of Lucifer himself.

@twoods we know your type. It's your type that wish all immigration channels be blocked so that other people don't get opportunity to migrate, all because of your selfish myopic sense of reasoning. People like you never do well cause of the negativity they carry around.

I'm going to ignore the curses...

But the highlighted is wrong. I don't wish all immigration channels to be blocked. You and people like you are doing an excellent job of blocking it yourselves, one lie at a time.

Wait... isn't lucifer the father of all liars? Be careful ma'am.

floyo001:
Thanks a lot for this explanation.
Pls pardon me, I need further clarification.

Here's what is stated in her I20 form....

Estimated Average Cost for 8 months: $36,500 ( Tution: 26,000 + Living expenses: 8,500)

Then Her GA takes care of total tuition and also pays monthly stipends.

So, in this case does it mean that she doesn't have any deficit?

I'll really appreciate your help clarity again.

Thanks

Technically, what your wife owes the school is tuition, not living expenses (unless it includes mandatory expenses like health insurance). Her GA likely covers all tuition and insurance. The stipend covers the rest of the living expenses. She has no deficit.

Trust me, this was the same type of GA i had.

Mummiesgirls4:
Thank you but it is not easy I feel guilty all the time but in the other side my happiness comes first

Not the happiness of your kids?

Hello All,

I received my IELTS score today and I am sad.
LSRW 8.5/7/6.5/7

I am 36YO.
I am currently doing my MSc and studying French.
I just need someone to comfort me cos I am devastated

Keep your chin up. You’re going to be just fine. Everyone has their own time… do the best you can to add to your score through other means. Since you’re already doing a masters degree and learning French, you’re well on the right track! Wish you all the very best!

floyo001:
Hi House,
Please I need to be clear about something.
I have been seeing the term 'deficit' in some Visa interview transcripts and I'll appreciate an explanation on what it means or in which type case it applies?

My wife has admission and also got a Graduate Assistantship that takes care of her full tuition and also includes a monthly stipend.
Please I'll like to know if this 'deficit' term apply to her?
i.e. What accounts for the deficit? Does it mean living expenses?

Lastly, since her tuition is taken care of by the GA, would she still need to show proof of funds?

Thanks a lot!

Deficit is the difference between total tuition costs and how much of it is waived by scholarships or fellowships. In other words, how much tuition costs you have left to pay.

Since your wife has a GA that covers everything plus stipend, deficit does not apply to her.

Nicolars:
Good day everyone, I’m currently in the phase of searching for schools but the method I’m currently using might not be the best approach.
I’m using usnews and google to filter through schools that offer software engineering or computer science but it’s quite tedious and might not be efficient. I could be spending that time preparing for GRE and TOEFL.

Can anyone offer a better approach on how to streamline my search better?

I don’t think the problem is that it is tedious, the problem is you’re lazy.

Years ago, we had very little online and relied on personally sending letters to individual schools, one by one… you had to wait weeks to get application forms to fill.

Today you have google, and it’s still “tedious”?

Lahun:
That's why Africa will never move forward. I once asked someone how she managed to immigrate to Toronto, and guess what she told me? 'Go to IRCC website, download the form and apply'.

You have it exactly backwards. Africa isn’t moving forward, not because someone isnt willing to spoon feed you on the process to immigrate, but because of the Africans in Africa today.

I would wager a bigger reason Africa is what it is is our generally lazy attitude. Why take initiative when someone else can do it and spoon feed me?

overlord77:
Lmao at "Shoulder-pad" people. I don't know why Nigerians see everything as a competition. Left to some people, Canada should just stop EE after they get their PR.

As for me, na dem sabi. If he like make him predict 1000 as the next CRS. We must enter that Canada las las

But what if you don’t? Why do you feel entitled to be there?

ednut1:
some Nigerians voted conservative during the last two elections. To them too many Nigerians in Canada will be a bad thing in future. Stupidity if i must say, the calibre of people that qualify for express entry and study visa are not anyhow people in the first place.

Do you blame them? Too many Nigerians in Nigeria is already a bad thing...

imperiouxx:
Hello all,

I need a help please. What are the documents I need to send to my mother in Nigeria for her B1/B2 visa? I'm taking care of her trip and staying in the U.S

Thank you!

For a visit visa, nothing to be honest. Just let her know where you live so she can answer that question if it comes up at the interview.

9ja083:
I didn’t use immigration lawyer. My husband is a Canadian citizen.
I have forgotten about it. I don’t think I will go back to reapply

Strange. I am likely to assume that your marriage isn't truly genuine. Why would you just give up on moving to live with your husband and why isn't he doing more to smoothen this out? As a Canadian citizen, it is within his right to ensure his wife is permitted to come to live with him.

imperiouxx:
Hello TWoods. It's been awhile brother.

Hello brother! Hope New York is treating you good.

fkj950ax:
In the good old days, they would have just issued you a 10 year visa so you don't keep coming back after the 3rd visa or so disturbing them, but as usual, our fellow Nigerians made the embassy shift the goal post.

The culture of “na who holy pass” strikes again.

GUYESS:
Hello Everyone,

I've been a silent reader of this section, fortunately, i got an offer this year to pursue an Associate degree in Nursing, which I took hoping my case would be different. So I had my Visa interview today at Abuja Embassy but I was only delayed at the moment. Kindly, find below my transcript for your scrutiny and comments.

I was asked just 4 questions (out of the 32 questions I'd initially prepared, lol) by a very tall white guy;

VO: Have you travelled out before?
ME: No, I haven't had a reason to, prior to this time.

VO: I can see you're going for an Associate degree in Nursing from NHCC, what's your first degree?
ME: BSc in Microbiology from the University of Port Harcourt.

VO: Why are you going for this course?
ME: I developed a passion for nursing during the course of my work experiences in healthcare facilities and the nature of my 1st degree course where I got to work closely with medical practitioners most especially with nurses, I got to encounter the various aspect of patient care and the tenacities of these nurses to provide excellent healthcare to the patients always drew my admiration, this ignited my passion to pursue a nursing degree.

VO:What do you intend to do after graduation?
ME: After graduation, I intend to utilize the Optional Practical Training for a period of 3 to 4months in order to have more clinical experiences which will be leveraged on upon my return to Nigeria and upon my return, this degree will enable me be reabsorbed as a full time staff at my current place of work in the capacity of a licensed nurse (I currently work as a Volunteer Healthcare Assistant in a hospital); I have a written agreement with the hospital management to this effect. I hope to influence the health practice at my work place to a global standard with the clinical knowledge and expertise gained. Then I also talked about partnering with NGOs such as WHO and SFH in order to volunteer my services for the provision of affordable and accessible healthcare services to some remote communities in my state.


Please, is it advisable to reapply or I should secure an MSc admission related to my 1st degree because I know that my No.2 question was a redflag. I sincerely do not feel bad nor disappointed reasons being that I know by God's grace, I will get my Visa soon. My fellow nairalanders, kindly advise me on the next step to take. Thanks.

Why don't you try again, this time with a bachelor's degree in nursing? I don't think it is fair that you can't change your degree if you already are working in a nursing capacity in Nigeria today.

lordchosen:
16 years of negativity? 16 years of false assumptions ......

It seems you have no idea what "negativity" means. I wish you well...

lordchosen:
Don't Mind TWoods........get a valid Divorce certificate you will be fine........he was probably denied US visa multiple times and is bringing the anger on you.........@TWoods: Direct your anger to the Consular officer that denied your visa.

This year would be my 16th year in the United States.

pls how do one file for greencard petition I have an uncle in u.s his a citizen and he wants me to come and work for him

He should file for an h1b for you. If he’s serious about it, he should have known what to do. Likely he’s just telling you what you want to hear.
