Hello lagosNiv,a friend of mine was denied a student visa on the 4th of august under section 214b.He reapplied three weeks time on the 25th of august but the Vo refused to interview him saying it must be 90 days after being denied.i dont know undstand because i know pepl that was denied and reapplied again even before two weeks and they got it.Please what should he do?

texrem:

you cant be banned for applying over and over

but if eventually you are banned you will be informed thats what he meant...

DeeTus:
Oh sorry. In your next interview, please do not give too many information, it easily gets someone bored. You know VOs have a lot of people to interview. Rather learn to use humor on any of them and the visa is yours.

Sometimes, you use a sense of humor on somebody to brighten up his day, make him laugh and get what you want.

Will let you know some phrases to use inaddition to your answer to make a VO laugh.

yes exactly
thats what I told him

just go straight to the point

texrem:
Exactly......then I should raise a court case then...lol

texrem:
What re ur study plans in us?
To pursue a master degree in engineering technology. A master degree in engineering technology will equip me with the technical skills required to maintain, operate, coordinate n supervise in a production system which in turn will make me a valuable asset n I will have edge when applying for managerial positions in multinational companies like chevron shell Mobil by the time I return to Nigeria(she was nodding)

okay, why etsu?

I choose etsu because the curriculum explores the technologies found in our industrial society such as implementation and utilization of adaptive system (okay n keeps nodding)n other technical means. there's currently a research which aligns with my career which is the investigation into the effect of recycled concrete aggregate strength on d strength of concrete using it(OK n she keeps nodding) and its currently chaired by professor Johnson kieth in the faculty of technology. I contacted him via emails n phonecalls (,she cuts me)

Ohio state uni...Wayne state uni...university of north texas

So sorry bro
maybe you should give it another try

from my opinion. I think you were giving out too many information
your answer should be brief and precise

you see how she was cutting in especially wen you were asked your study plan...

just told her you course of study after that you come bk...make it short

my opinion though...

just book another appointment you will get it this time
make sure you pray well and praise him...
you are in my prayers
