Hi guru's in the house.. I got admitted to North Carolina A&T state uni for master's in industrial engineering. I already have my I-20 with me and I will be booking my visa interview soon. I haven't completed my NYSC yet . I'll be completing by October . Please if the VO ask me at the visa interview where I'm working or if I completed NYSC , please what should be the ideal response .
Thanks

Hello V.O,

I just realized that I made a mistake while filling my DS-160 form. I mistakenly entered my current place of residence as my place of birth. I have my place of birth correctly entered on my passport but as it is now, what I have on my DS-160 form is different in that regard.
I have already booked a date for my visa interview with this same DS-160 form. I will like to know your opinion about this. Will it affect my visa application negatively? What can I do? My place of birth is Ogun but I mistakenly entered Lagos.
Thank you.

So u believe that tb Joshua is more popular than pastor Chris? Go and read his profile. Pastor Chris is the only Nigerian pastor to pull a crowd of over one million people in a single night program (night of bliss) Nigerian government banned him from using the stadium because of the stampede and traffic his programs generates

Good day, everybody.

I noticed that people who got approved so far have had some form of work experience. I understand that being successful at the visa interview depends on your ability to give a plausible reply to questions asked. My case however, seems dicey:

Finished first degree 2013, went for NYSC, 2014. Enrolled for Masters, finished 2016. Now I've been offered admission into another Masters degree. I hear this is a red flag. How can I make a strong argument to defend my going to the US for another Masters? Also, would it hurt my chances that I have no work experience?

Good day all. I am awaiting I-20 from Boston University for masters in financial management. My concern is that the combined amount for the 12month program (estimated) is $80,000. My second option is University of Missouri Kansas City, with a lower combined amount of $32,000. Please I need advice, as my heart and mind loves BU.

jeffery23:
thanks @texrem but was told the VO might think u are not serious if you didn't take any standardize exam most especially since one is applying for MBA

enye2000:
...Received..thanks so much for your prompt response

topdee:
Hello all, I want to confirm this: In the visa application form (not DS-160) there is a portion asking for First name and Surname, no provision for middle name. Does one write First name together with middle name in that space?

@LagosismyHome ,walspring.

Please is it possible to transfer from one from to another in d usa without GRE and toefl and still make it for assistantship. I will explain better.
If I gain admission to school A without GRE and English test, then after 1st term or semester in school A, I decide to transfer to School B which originally requires GRE and English test for admission and assistantship. How possible is School B admitting me and apply for assistantship?
Or should I go ahead and write both exams and keep my scores probably later in future.
I hope you understand my questions

Please advise.

Thanks

mzjennypher:
Thanks i wasnt given i was denied. I also noticed the contact person i used for my last application had an issue with fbi as i googled his name last week and saw some funny stories related to him. i am also wandering if it would affect my next aplication. Moreso, i nintend to apply for mba but i have not read transcripts of peeps who went for mba courses and got study visa.

OluDare01:

I no even know where i wan begin my story from. Abeg wey my brother and oga @Oludare01
Make i cut long story short.
Na so I reach embassy last friday o, before 5am for 6:30am interview. I thought i had all my document in place, so i was just using those hustling guys to catch cruise . Until it was 6:30 and the CGI staff called us to line up and bring out our document. I no carry my DS160 confirmation page go. Make i go out go print another one, though na 500naira be all the money for my hand, na him police say i no fit comot .Esupofo! na him i start dey speak in tongue for my mind. after small time, police gree me comot.
On getting outside around few minutes to 7, na him the hustler i meet to print say my money na 3k. My eye clear again . i sha beg the woman to collect 1k. Okay now, she say make i bring 1k, na him i surrender say na 500naira be all the money for my hand,second round of begging. Above all sha, she print, i run enter back. Me wey dey front before come dey back back . But God dey.
We do all the serenren enter interview room. Oya come and be seeing blue paper flying around . luckily, one of the VOs dey manage give 1 white paper out of 5. I sha beg God make i fall for the guy front, na him God answer my prayer, na the guy front i fall.
Suddenly suddenly, na him CGI staff bring one old mama from back come put for my front. Yeh!aye mi, temi ba mi. I sha begin dey speak in tongue for my mind again, dey recite Isaiah 50:7.

Suddenly, one fine woman just resumed at window5. call on me to come over. *sighs* now the transcript. Just 3 questions and all was settled in less than 90seconds

Me: Good morning
Fine woman: Good morning, your document please.

Me: *better person* passed her the document

Fine woman: *Calmly perused my i20 before looking at me* *unexpectedly* Tell me about your research interest.
Me: Wawu!this woman has changed parade o..anyways, God dey. Na so i start.
I would be doing research in *** at the university. During this time, I would be working under professor Yin who is currently research in ***. he is currently doing this by *na him i bring wetin i learn for undergraduate with hand demonstration*. This is imperative for me cos the North eastern part of the country currently need this and the govt has decided to fund research in this field. *as long as i dey talk, the woman no look me o, she just dey press computer*
As the woman no gree look me and i don tire, i just pim dey look the woman face. na so she raise face up look my face, nod.

Fine woman: I see you have assistanship, tell me about it
Me: Oya na... it is an academic merit award. I get the admission committee were impressed by my undergraduate result and the SOI i submitted during my application *to show i did the application myself*
*she look me nod again* I don dey thank God already

Fine woman: Does the fund cover your whole expenses?
me: it covers my whole tuition and i have stipend left. The remaining living expens...... before i finish, i don see white paper dey come.



whatever she said as the white paper was coming, na una sabi as una dey hear am o...me i no hear anything o...i just dey calcu as the thing with my i20 dey come say make the woman no change her mind.

Above all, it was a great experience. All thanks to God and my padi @Oludare1. baba and him oga overcriticize me during the mock interview.*One orijin onike for una* .
@imperiouxx, @bartino, @lagosismyhome thanks to you guys for your advise, when i almost lied on the DS160 and you guys criticized and advised me against it. Knowing i was honest with my application, i was a bit more confident at the interview.

I am willing to help anybody with mock anytime. Just PM me.

Dear gurus please i applied for visit visa last year but now i am considering applying for study visa. please wld my last application affect my study visa application?

chinemomah2020:
Hello everyone in the house, just a little advice for everyone.. if you are sharing your TRANSCRIPT. please kindly type your response to the VO in full not Bla..bla..bla.. it's so annoying, how you expect people to learn from that? if other has posted bla bla bla, you won't have been able to prepare your own transcript or learn 1 or 2 things from their transcript. Pls i urge everyone who choose to share their transcript to type their response/answers in full so that other can benefit fully from it. What is what doing is what doing WELL.

Thanks folks..
