TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by widdy: 2:17pm On Jun 10, 2019
My approved F1 Visa transcript. Lagos 10th June, 2019
Got to the Embassy at 5:20 for a 6:30am appointment and place was full with about 300 people.
Waited for over 1 hour and finally we were attended to.
Got in after screening, fingerprint was captured and was the first to be attended to.
Alas, no consular and we all waited.
This is where THE MIRACLE HAPPENED.
I began watching TV hung in the corner of the interview hall.
First documentary was about 5 Polish handicaps that came to US for Marathon.
Followed by NYU student interview. It was subtitled for all to read. I kept reading the texts.
A student were asked why he chose NYU, replied he likes the environment because it is conducive for learning having visited the school before applying…………
Secondly, he claims to love the laboratories and the attention lectures give to students.
Blah blah blah…………………..
Few minutes afterwards, I was called.
VO: Morning
ME: Morning, hope you had a good night?
VO: Pass me your passport and I-20
Me: Gave them to him.
VO: Why the University?
Me: I replied verbatim the answers I listened to on the TV…..I SWEAR!!!
VO: What course of study:
Me: MBA and ITM
VO: Why MBA and ITM?
Me: I replied verbatim again what I watched on TV few minutes earlier that ‘I love the student lecturer ratio’, the laboratories especially their SAP lab…………. (I read that one before coming for the interview)
VO: What do you intend to achieve from the course?
Me: I have technical, Management and Business deficiencies and I believe the MBA and ITM will help bridge the gap to make me more employable. Also, The SAP Competence Laboratory situated in the University will help improve my knowledge of ERP……….
VO: When was the last time you visited the US?
Me: (I honestly don’t remember; I have visited a few times in the last 10 years tho.) I don’t remember but about 3 years ago.
VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: I am sponsoring myself and my employer has equally granted me study leave with pay
Vo: Can I see your bank statement please?
Me: I handed him the leave letter from my employer first and waited for him to finish before I give him the bank statement. He returned the letter and didn’t bother to ask for bank statement.
VO: He returned my I-20. (I thought he had refused my application at that point). Then he detached my most recent passport from the other 2 and returned the others. He said “Your application has been approved and you will get a notification when your passport is ready for collection by either mail or text and handed me a white paper.
Me: Thank you.

Note: There is no formula to getting a US Visa. Just be prepared and seek GOD’s favour. It was HIS grace at work. If any Nairalander was at the embassy earlier today, he will testify about the documentary I am talking about.

Brown2Green:
Likely questions?

What will this course do for you?
Why are you going for a Masters now?
Why a second Masters degree?
Why this school?
What other schools did you apply to?
What would you be doing after your Masters..

I think with proper prep and drilling you'll do very well.
Why a second masters? The first masters didnt align with my professional career of the last 10years. Having started a consulting company, the knowledge deficit of technical, managerial and business was glaring and needs to be addressed for my career growth and to propel my consulting firm to a world class.

Why the Uni? The combination of MBa with Information Technology with a competency research laboratory, one of the two Universities that have such in America. Also, the cost is affordable as compared to the location of the other school.

Other schools: wrote to a few but applied to one and got admitted!

After graduation: The company i work for is co-sponsoring me and i have signed a bond to return to work for them upon graduation....letter to support the contract!
