Now my story ☹️
My passport photograph was not the right dimension from the start the security woman complained but i get coconut head� I didn't want to leave the because I no wan start from back again so I continued. They complained like that in 4 different places but God just saw me through anyways (GRACE) please don't make my mistake. Then after every every the korea vo and this lady were doing at the same time and I was next. I know about don't profile a VO this and that but me I prayed against the korea guy sha
The white woman was just denying the guy na so me go stand for he back dey wait o
Later she used her hand to call me then I went

Final Words
Please pray the place of prayer can never be overemphasised.
I told God not because I deserve it that you sent Jesus to die for me now too not because I deserve this visa but let your grace speak for me
I fasted and prayed with some scriptures and i personalised them
Please wear something decent and nice don't say your dad/uncle has how many millions but you're dressed like a pauper.
I had my nails done but short just to boost my confidence (I like my nails done anyways) you can do what works for you
And again I say pray
God will bless boss moshkom for me ooo���� he's my Godsent
Thanks to all the people i met on this journey and your words of encouragement � it meant a lot to me
I wish everyone sucess in Jesus name Amen.

Ps: if you have a case that is beyond you please meet boss moshkom for help i know it sounds selfish since he's a very busy person but if you have to be selfish to get approved so be it. Just like Mary said to the disciples whatever boss moshkom ask you to do please do it.
God give us all testimonies Amen

Ebi1:
Hi everyone. So my family and I just got our visas! I’m f1. Husband is F2 and child F2. I had a child in the U. S back in 2019. The lady who interviewed us was scary. Lol. African American. We wer praying for the white lady to interview us cus she was nice to others especially students… but yea we got the African American lady. She thrilled us! Lol first question- why University of Saint Thomas? I told her that’s where I got my master of liberal Arts degree from back in 2014 and the school does more than teaching, it focuses on morals and ethics and it’s a tight knit community cause it’s a small school that makes it easy to interact with lecturers … She then asked when last I visited the US… I said 2019. She said how long did I stay? I said 5 months. She said why did I stay for that long? I said cus I gave birth. She asked if I told the consulate officer that I was going to give birth? I said yes I was taken through secondary interrogation where I showed them my doctor’s invitation letter and receipt of hospital bill… I then had to back track and explained how I went for my sister’s graduation and during the visit I had to do a doctor’s routine checkup. Then the doctor told me he could help me through the pregnancy with ease as I had gestational diabetes that he wanted to control through diet…. So long story short, she said my visa was revoked when my husband applied for his visa while I was in the U. S then. I told her I wasn’t aware that it was revoked because I didn’t commit any offense. That The consular officer then thought I wasn’t going to come back and that I have no reason to overstay. Then she said ok. Do you know that it’s now illegal for foreigners to give birth in the U.S that hope I don’t plan on having kids during my program. My husband and I said no o that we have two for now and we are ok until after the program…. Then she asked Who will be sponsoring your program? I said my dad. Then she asked what he did. I told her… she then faced my husband and asked what he does… my husband said he has a restaurant… then I whispered to him to add Cotonou that our restaurant is in Cotonou… then he added it. Lol. She asked who will be running it when we travel… he said he has staffs that run the business. She said staff as in? He said he has staff and a brother that will be running it on his behalf. Then she typed and faced me again. What do I plan to do with the program… I said to add to my current business which is for African youths and that I plan to use my doctor of education program to create a training institute for young adults… plus she asked if I had any relatives in the US. I said yes two sisters. She asked if my two sisters are citizens. I said no they are non immigrants. She said what are they doing there. I said one is on H1B and the other is a student. oh I forgot to mention that she noticed I didn’t write my full name when asked for other names used… I thought I was meant to write any other name I’ve been called so I used my short name and maiden name instead of using my full name… anyways she was like she was going to correct it manually from her end…. So yea she gave us the Visa… we packed soooo many documents and she didn’t even care to look down at any… I even tried to show her some , she didn’t even look; she was just looking at the system…

christobabee:


Good day, Am at a cross road at the moment, I graduated from one of the Benin Republic (Cotonu) University 8 years ago. I decided to pursue my masters now that have sponsorship but WES is not evaluating my school. I don't know what best to do, my sister suggested undergraduate school but what are my chances at 32 and with over 17years SSCE result. Please kindly advice.

You can try SPANTRAN, although WES is better

Good day great minds

Please how do I go about partaking in the mock interview. My visa interview date is in 2 weeks. Please

Good day great minds.

Please can I get my DSO to change the name he put on my Form I-20 as sponsor. I want to use my dad as against my cousin.
Please how do I go about it

Great minds! Please my sponsor is my cousin in Belgium and his name was put on my I-20. I also got a partial sponsorship from my employer but the DSO in the school doesn't want to update the form I-20, can I input both my cousin and my employer on my DS 160 form or I should just input only my cousin. And what are the likely document will be required of me from my employer?

Thanks

Moshkom:
Quick one guys,

As your ‘May date’ is fast approaching, don’t forget to keep preparing towards the date/day.

You are the applicant, you should know the kind of preparation that works for you, general mock, self videos mock, transcript p/reviews, YouTubing etc.

Preparation is key. You don’t just wait and be expecting miracle. Embassy ‘atmosphere’ is entirely different that if you don’t go prepared, your hands might fall and “e go shock you”. �

Aside preparation, make sure everything you’re coming with is set and corresponded. Your locations both on visa portal and ds160 be same, your application numbers on both should be same etc.

As the applicant; you should know that the VO ‘usually’ judge these ways:

GENUINE - Are you here with a good school or so? I mean, there are some schools that are ‘red flags’ to the VOs. Mostly, Colleges or so. Applying to the ‘wrong’ schools clearing shows that you’re trying to Japa because they the VO knows that there are more than 4k right schools in The US. So, no excuse from you.

LIABILITY - Are you going there to be a liability to their country. That’s where FUNDING stuff comes in, and reason why most FULLY FUNDED guys get it easily. If you don’t have that, not a crime; just make sure you package your source of sponsorship well and clear for the VO to understand that you won’t be a liability.

HOME TIE: They want to KNOW not just hear, that you’ve something that would bring you back to your country. That’s where WORK and FAMILY (mostly married guys) comes in. Like, you can’t say you’re not currently working and/or not married and expect the VO you might likely come back (putting other factors in place, don’t get me wrong). �

F1: Be ready for more convincing ‘talks’ within few mins, extra supporting docs might not be asked. You CONVINCE the VO not ‘replying’ him/her.

F2: Extra supporting docs would be asked, come along with that and with small convincing talks. �

Oh! Grace factor? Ok. But also prepare for it to happen or work towards your Grace yourself.

For those coming to from different part to Abuja. Air and Roads are safe, don’t let anyone discourage or put fear on you. �

Air: Green Africa and Overland seems to be cheapest airlines atm. 27k and above I guess.

Road: sincerely ABC, GIG and co are the most convenient. 12k or so.

Accommodation: there are cheap hotels close to the embassy, of 5-10k range.

Most, Uber fee within Abuja are of 1k range, so from your hotel to the embassy won’t be more than 1k at most. Unless, it’s an airport trip which are mostly 3k or so.

If you seems lost, kindly reach out to me, I can easily recommend hotels and Uber guys within the City. �

Lastly, kindly know that in this path, IT IS ZERO EMOTIONS. You leave your emotions and expectations at your Fav location not in this path. It’s 50/50 just for you to know. If the other ‘50’ happens, take it and move on, you’re not a failure or anything. You come again later. Be like, Burna Boy who reFired to Grammy from African Giant album to TAT, and won it in his 2nd attempt by not giving up. �

BE PRAYERFUL and HOPEFUL.

“God No Go Shame Us”

Good Luck!

- MOSHKOM

Good day
Please I need assistance on filling my Ds-160 form. On my I-20 my cousin is my sponsor but I also got partial sponsorship from my employer. Should I include both on the Ds-160 or just what is on the I-20

Good day everyone. I am new to this platform and I got good recommendation about it that's why I'm here. It has really been helpful to me since I started my graduate school application up until now that I have my visa appointment coming up this month.
I want to ask for guidance on filling my Ds-160 form.
On my Form I-20, my sponsor is my cousin in belgium
But he's not the only one as I also have a partial sponsorship from my employer to cover accommodation, insurance and monthly stipend. How should I fill the Ds-160 form pls? I'll really appreciate any advice. On the Form I-20 the school put only my cousin as my sponsor
