Suggest that you re write your question without the silly characters.
People may then understand and reply.

imperiouxx: Straight from my heart. Defer! Unless your school can give you till next 2 weeks and you got the emergency date slated for next week.

Mamacita007: sorry i was very excited in my last post that i wrote rubbish with my phone. first, God work miracles not magic lol

Special thanks to anyone that contributed to this thread. I cannot mention specific names, but you all know yourselves. The gurus and those that know just a little to share. Thank you.

My appointment was scheduled for 10 o' clock but old bros and I arrived like 6am after a very serious mock interview by my cousin on d phone. I stood for hours there and was so dehydrated and sleepy. I kept singing worship songs in my head - Awesome God by Sinach. I will sing by D.Mclurkin. The Lagos Embassy was not cold today as I expected. Omo see as dem dey bounce people. I swear almost 400 people showed up this morning. I was praying for the African American VO in booth 6. One girl was shaking and stammering badly for like 10mins but he still gave her the visa. He seems relaxed and kind of jovial. One white garment Church man came with his garment, no slippers and a big gold chain on his neck. The VO bounce am come laugh on top sef. loooool The man vex comot. The white saddist VO in counter 3 denied one girl for no SAT and it makes sense as you cant gain admission to any university here without jamb.

Anyways, my number A07x shows up on counter 1 so i walk to the window. All the answers we made to every possible question disappeared from my head. I remembered to make it conversational and no yes/no answers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: Hello. Howz your morning?

VO: Good. Howz yours? Pass your docs.
Me: (smiling) Ready for my interview but I came too early so I'm already tired (smiling).

VO: Looks up at my face and smiles a little. I see you're going for MS in SCM/Logistics at Arizona State University?
Me: Yes. I've always desired to work as a Supply Chain professional. I have some entry level experience in procurement.

VO: Okk. Did you write any test?
Me: Yes, I wrote GRE and IELTS. (I went with my GRE online printout because my original is too embarrassing). As soon as I saw the VO typing something from my GRE report, I quickly explained that I didn't receive my original GRE report even though she didn't ask me.
VO: Sure, I just verified your test scores with ETS. (na hear i fear america oh. America is too much).

VO: Did you apply for the same program at other schools?
Me: No. I applied for same program at University of Houston and ASU, but Purdue UIU and U of Oklahoma is Human Resources.
(she was typing so I continued talking again) I chose ASU because its degree plan covers the fundamental components of all other programs like project management, risk assessment, bla bla and these specific courses is what I need to advance professionally here in Nigeria. most times these jobs are outsourced to foreign professionals to coordinate for us. I didn't mention denial to PUIU because she didn't ask.

VO: Are you gonna be responsible for your tuition?
Me: (Laughs)No oh. Confidently said that my mum is 100% responsible and she works as an consultant.... to the ....... solid minerals analyst (Yvete chai looooool. It worked sha looool).

The VO starts typing fast for almost one minute as I just stood there singing praises in my head. Then she passed my I-20 and other documents and kept my passport, DS 160 Confirmation page and gave me a white paper with a green ticket to pick up my VISA ON FRIDAY!!!!!!

Being on Nairaland is 25% visa guarantee, asking questions and seeking clarifications is 50% solved, reading the entire thread and learning from others is 75% and GOD ALMIGHTY IS THE ENTIRE 100%.

As you rejoice with me, may others also celebrate with you. Shayo shayo shayo shayo

Anthonymighty: Hello 9ra Landers....I am kinda new here and I have a question bordering me. I applied for information tech. At a University in Boston MA. (under graduate) I have my I20 and I have paid all necessary fees, sevis and visa fee and everything. In June I tried scheduling an appointment but couldn't get any earlier date than September 27. But the hitch is that my school is resuming September 2nd according to my I 20. I have tried emergency appointment but it's no longer on their site. My question is, will the date affect me in anyway as regards to getting my visa. Will there be a problem if i go for that interview on 22nd September when the school I'm going too has already resumed on the 2nd of September . Pls I will appreciate your replies.
