I will other people going for visa interview a successful outcome, the hustle, stress, sleepless night do worth it. Please stay focused.
Fall Aspirant go and prosper, we are waiting for you guys in America.

I remembered the day I post my transcript here, I already booked a spot here to post my transcript in early 2018 but it was Jan 2019 that it all happened.

I followed this thread from part 11 hoping I will write my success story in part 13 but I never give up and Almighty God crown my effort.

I will always say the following to be in a better position
1. do your homework well
2. Write GRE &TOEFL and have a great score
3. Evaluate your result so that you will not be limited to schools that doesn't require evaluation
4. Communicate with your graduate coordinator.
5. Apply for GA/GRA/TA/RA so that your tuition will be waived and you will be paid monthly stipends
6. Have it in mind that not all of us will go to ivies and top schools, discovered your school that will give you everything you wanted. There are over 3000+ universities in the US.

With all these, going for visa interview will be easy.
NB: don't be disorganized by people's reject, stay strong you will get your visa approved.

NEVER GIVE UP
God bless my country NIGERIA and AMERICA.

andre99:
Hello guys, in a bad situation right now. Basically i’m in Canada right now, have been in Canada since September 2017 studying. I had previously considered going to the Usa for study when i got denied at first for my application to Canada. During that process I considered USA. I paid an agent to help with an admission. To cut the story short, i went for an interview for USA visit visa here in Canada, i was denied, the visa officer kept emphasizing about the school I previously applied to in the USA asking if i paid my agent and why didn’t i go to the school. Was denied based on the section 214(b) guys please what do you think. I feel the agent must have paid for my usa admission using a fradulent card. Please guys your intake.

I think you should have explain better that you accept the Canada school instead of the US and you just want to visit US.

ManOfPeace2000:

thank you sir.
God bless you abundantly.
I was under tension, upon all my numerous practice and advice I gave myself before the Interview. am so disappointed at myself right now

You don't need to be dissapointed, sorry for the delay. I was denied visa on 31st of December 2018 and my school resume and lecture start on January 14, I reschedule another visa interview after the December denial and I got January 14 which my visa was approved. Don't be in a rush now because you have more time to build your confidence.

All you need us to be outspoken and also put your best points first when answering questions. I am open to help you with mock interview anytime from May 5 if it is not too far for you.

My 5% advice.

ProYouWebsiteUK:
Good day guys, please, I want to know how true is this information, I went for interview last week Monday but my Visa was denied and I want re-apply now but I was told that I can't reapply until after six months. I was told that it is the new policy of the US.

Thanks in advance.

It is not true you can apply 2days later if it was an F1 visa, I don't know about b1/b2

Please if you pm me and I haven't get back to you, kindly send me a message here yuscodguy@yahoo.com

I am kind of busy with school stuffs that's why. I am so sorry.

Daringtohope:
I posted my transcript about F2 visa rejection in Lagos a couple of weeks ago. I decided to reapply immediately, and I was able to get a date in Abuja. The screening process was quite long and tedious compared to Lagos. Also, my baby was a bit restless, so I kept moving back and it took a while for my turn. This is the transcript of the interview as I can remember it;

VO: Good afternoon.

Me: Good afternoon Ma.

VO: Pass me your passport.

I gave her our passports and I-20s. She took her time to go through the I-20 and typed for a while.

VO: Where is husband studying?

Me: He is studying Molecular Biology in the University of ABC.

VO: How long have you been married?

Me: We have been married for 4 years it will be 5 years in a few months.

VO: How many children do you have?

Me: We have one child.

VO: Has he visited since he left?

Me: Yes, he visited us in August of last year.

VO: I can see that there is a shortfall in the living expenses on the I-20, how do you pay the rest?

Me: My husband has full funding and we have some personal savings.

She excused herself and left the cubicle with the passport and I-20 for about 5 minutes. While she was away, I was worried that maybe she was not convinced about the funding. Therefore, when she came back, I quickly said;

Me: I have the funding letter from his school here, would you like to see it?

VO: That wouldn’t be necessary (while smiling).

VO: Was he working before he left for the United States?

Congrat madam

Go to your school website bro check something very unique about your course on the school website which is visible, more so you need to be able to explain better about your course.

This will solve two basic questions, why this course? and also why did you choose your school.

JoeBazz:
I applied for master's in computer information systems at California miramar University. My interview is first week in February. I didn't write any standardized test. Please I need your advice on what to do to convince the vo am a genuine student. Thanks in anticipation.

Mummy LagosismyHome you did not congratulate me on my VISA, I am now in trump land. The hospitality I am getting from the school staffs is just awesome, I am loving my new environment. Tennessee is a nice place to live and raise children.

No problem, if i didnt reply quick mail me at yuscodguy@gmail.com

1stdami:
Congratulations bro
I will like to send you a PM

It always take like a month, after 3weeks you can ask the person to go to the nearest post office to his address.

Good afternoon guys please I need guide on how to board bus from NYSC Kubwa to the US embassy in Abuja.

Please give clear direction, I am a novice here.

homirefacuny:

Thank you Bros

How was your interview bro

homirefacuny:
Who has an idea of an affordable yet conducive hotel in Obalende?

You can get hotel close to obalende which is not far from the embassy, from obalende board a napep going to Tinubu alight at cow lane. Immediately you alight you will see an hotel there at the bus stop their room is 5k. There are at least 4hotels in that area just ask around.

Tomorrow morning from the hotel board a nape going to obalende, alight at Texaco bus stop for N50 then from Texaco board another napep going to VI or Eko hotel alight at checking point that's N100. Just cross to the other side of the road that is US embassy

slamcole:
Happy new year guys. I pray this new year ushers in plenty of white papers for admitted spring students and prospective fall applicants.

I'm one of those who joined this thread half-way to prepare for my interview and I'm must say this thread was of great help to me as I was able to develop a concise transcript for my interview.

Got my visa in the early days of December last year and my departure is just few days from now.

So my advice to prospective applicants is
1. Do your homework in identifying credible and above average schools to apply to.
2. Sit for neccesary tests even if not required by school. This present your case as a serious student to the
Have a wonderful celebration.

One thing please don't slack on prayers, please i repeat don't slack on prayers.


My interview was on 6:30 this morning 27th of Dec. 2018.
So I got to the embassy by 5am & met them 'staple your docs & get coloured copy of your data page' people. Thankful for the knowledge I acquired here...
I was interviewed by a white guy on window 4.

This guy was not smiling as he had recently given two applicants before the blue paper, i was nervous chai. Which kind line they put me oohhh.....

Vo: "Good morning".
Me: "Good morning."

Vo: "How are you?"
Me: "I am fine thank you, how are you?"

Vo: (ignores my response and question)"Your Passport and I-20 please "
Me:" Passes Documents. "

Vo: (After looking at my documents and typing for a while) "What are you goingto study?"
Me: "Evironmental Science from SIUE, i will be focusing on Environmental biology. "


Vo: "What do you want to do?"
Me: "( i no understand this question ooh, i no get prepared answer ooh)Pardon?"

Vo: "What do you want to do with Environmental biology"
Me: "I want to study Environmental Biology in order to get the necessary skills and tools required to solve the numerous environmental problem, using "*Vo cuts in*
Vo: "You are not telling me what you want to do with Environmental biology. "
Me: *a little bit tense, because this dude just stopped my flow of rehearsed answers*, I am getting there.
Vo: "Well you have to get there faster!"
Me: *sigh to calm myself*, "Well i want to study environmental biology so that i can be able to reduce the amount of pollutants in the environment, using Phyto remediation technology. "

Vo: "Phyto remediation technology, can you tell me what phyto remediation is?"
Me: "well Phyto remediation is the use of plants to remediate the environment, using processes phytostabilization and phyovolatization. "

Vo: "What is phytovolatization?"
Me:" P.v is the processes of using plants that are bioaccumalators, to absorb contaminants and through transpiration these contaminants are released back into the environment, in a volatile state that is easily degraded. "

Vo: "Okay, how did you learn about this School?"
Me: "I stumbled on a research paper while doing a term paper during my undergraduate on the developement of bla bla bla, by a prof. bla bla in SIUE. This was what peaked my interest in SIUE,"

Vo: "How many Schools, did you apply to?"
Me: "Four, SIUE, USFC, Texas State Uni and Unilag. "


Vo: "Why did you choose SIUE,"
Me: "I chose SIUE, because Coupled with the scholarship( vo looks at i-20 to verify) the school granted to me, i am interested in joining prof bla bla's research team on the developement of bla bla bla, i have been in contact with him and he has accepted me into his team in my arrival to school. "

Vo:"Ooh i see the Scholarship now. Who is going to pay for the rest of your tution?"
Me: "Told him. "

Vo: "Okay, can you mention some plants used in "Phytoremediation (looked away to type somemore)
Me: *nice i done get you* "Well you have ficcus microcarpa common name Bonsai tree, Barley, Duckweed, Canabis Sativa*Vo cuts in smilling*

Vo: "Canabis, you mean Marijuana? "
Me: "*laughing* yes indian hemp. "


Vo: Picks white paper and says the magic words. It was really magical. People who have experienced this can confirm.

I advice you prepare well and don't cram your responses as it kinda irritates the impatient ones, clear and concise answers would do, listen to the questions and be bold and confident, do prior research in whatever yoh say gou want to go and study and research because thet can ask technical questions there, so you don't shoot yourself in the foot

Also i cannot stop saying this Please pray and trust God .

I hereby usher in more Spring 2019 approved visa transcripts.

Amen

[quote author=grandy09 post=74164197]

and do you think my account will be updated before 27th December when I have my appointment? won't another barcode be generated to me this way?[/quot]

Bar code is not an issue, immediately it is updated just reprint your appointment letter.

grandy09:
Good day people and Merry Xmas..This is not the way I was expecting to start my Christmas but at this point, I am leaving everything in God's hands..My interview was supposed to be on the 10th at the Lagos Consulate but I was giving a turned back later, because the barcode on my appointment confirmation was from my last interview in July instead of the one from the recently filled Ds 160 form in November..So after three days I updated the barcode( I didn't fill another form) but I could not get any closer available date as my school starts Jan 9..So I requested for an expedited appointment which was approved but I was still not able to find any available date before the start of my program on the 9th in Lagos, however I was able to get a closer date in Abuja which is 27th so I went ahead to book the appointment..So this morning I was scrolling through nairaland and I read somewhere that if you don't submit your ds160 to Abuja location, they won't see on their system when I get there..Please how true is this? I'm very confused because I emailed support@ustraveldocs.com before making the emergency request and asked if I could chose Abuja as my location and then request for an expedited appointment in Lagos, as it is closer to me (I live in Ibadan)..They replied saying I could choose whichever interview location convenient for me...Abuja is a long journey from Ibadan and I only booked Abuja because Lagos didn't have an available date..Now I am so confused and it would be disastrous traveling all the way to Abuja tomorrow only to be giving another turned back letter..Please kindly help if you have answers, thank you..

I think why you need to do is to go back to where one fill the Ds160 so when you wanted to retrieve the ds160 chose Abuja then am sure it will be updated.

Madam @Lagosismyhome please can i Pm you?

Nutshell44:
