RexNdubest: Here goes my transcript. I was for 6:30AM appointment
Me: Good morning sir
VO: Good morning, hw u doing?
Me: I'm fine sir
Vo: ok, a minute pls
Me: ok
VO: U 're RexNdubest
Me: Yes sir
VO: U going to Upenn for ur master's in Elect Engr?
Me: Yes sir
VO: can i see ur admission letter?
Me: ok (passes it)
VO: where did u do ur underG program
Me: Here in Naija, UNN to be precise
VO: ok, can I see ur certificate
Me: sure (passes it)
Vo: so, why Upenn?
Me: (I started by normal Nairaland style, though I wasn't reciting o). I researched extensively about universities that 're good in my field and decided to choose Upenn. Upenn is more research oriented than every other school I got offer(admission) from with cutting edge research facilities. Its 6:1 student -faculty ratio is one of the lowest in US... VO cut's in
VO: which other school did u apply to?
Me: I applied to UC Berkeley, Columbia Univ, Imperial College, Univ of Edinburgh and UNN. My app was rejected by UCB and Columbia univ but I got admitted by other schools
VO: Did u write Gre?
Me: yes ( while I was passing it, he saw my IELTS and requested for it too)
VO: Hw u gonna pay?
Me: I'm on a scholarship from the Federal Govt of Nig
VO: Scholarship from Federal Govt, never heard of that before. Any document for that?
Me: yes (pass my award letter & letter of sponsorship)
VO: Looks at the documents. Ur visa 's been approved, go to DHL V.I on Friday. Circle V.I ( but I chose Isolo). Remember the 30 days rule bla bla bla...
Me: Echoing, yes sir, thank sir, yes sir,... pack my document waka

See the highlighted Slimmy. I am sad about your denial. It hurts me. I had hoped to celebrate your success. Not to worry, you will get it next. I will pray for you tonight. A special prayer from me.

ebdib:

Bleep
You're one person I was really hoping to celebrate.
Don't worry bro.
Try again.
And how did the discussion touch the area of degree certificate. That's very rare.

Joenice: You're absolutely right. Sorry about that. I am so sad about your predicament. But not to worry, because a loser today can be a winner tomorrow. Today, you've vindicated me. I advised a friend who wanted to go to the embassy without her certificate not to go. Coincidentally, she studied in the same school with you. You see, getting admission and going for visa interview is totally a different ball game. Some VOs decide to issue based on academy, while others decide on finance, scholarships and so on. Honestly, the VO didn't believe you and to him, it's strange for not having your certificate. White people think differently, and for anyone to get what he or she wants, you have to think the way they do.

slimmy05: He asked where and when I finshed uni. I told him and he was like can have a look. We were on it for like 3m. I was just distabilized

slimmy05: I realy do not get the last two paragraphs. Are you saying its the fault of the applicant or the VO, are you saying I should wait for 5years to apply for masters? Are you saying I should go burn down my school cos of a rule that existed before I got into primary school? Or are you saying administrative processing can't be applied? Let's not get ourselves wrong here. Are you saying the VO's judgement is 100%? Sometimes its just mood and stretching the ineptitude of ones university to affect the student or applicant aint fair on their part. I feel such cases can be verified. I still have my nysc cert, transcript etc. You need an open mind to know one with a genuine case. Having the mind that all Nigerians are criminals aint fair.

slimmy05: House, I was delayed due to I didnt have my degree cert as its not available. I tire for uniport. Imagine since 2010 degree cert not still available. VO was like for 4years? I told him I even have an attesation from my school. He said anyone can print such even as it has university stamp and seal.


I will reschedule and go back again. It is not still ready as it take 5years for degree cert to be ready.

You know when issues like this arise, it gets you distabilized.

Was just very funny to me. I have been making contacts to get through to my registrar which I finally did and got his personal number. Would try and search for available date.

Will update y'all soon. Still got some busy schedules. See the GA I've been writing my ass out for. GRE twice Ielts ;DThis VO them funny sha. I've paid for visa fee, so I will be on the lookout for available date.

Thanks y'all. Where is graviton and walspring. Stewee, thanks all

ebdib:

No shaking man. Can you get your cert before reapplying?

fadex56: Visa denied today!!!!!!!!

ME: gud morning sir
VO: gud morning
VO: u are going to california state university, fresno
ME: yes sir
VO: where is ur SAT cos I can see csu requires dat
ME: gave him d printout.
VO: No, where is the one dat was mailed to u?
ME: I didn't receive any mailed docs from collegeboard.
VO: when did u take the Test?
ME: May 3rd
VO: how come did u now apply to CSu cos dey require for SAT, dat means u took a wrong way in applying
ME: No, (cuts in) he didn't allow me to say anytin.... He was just typing all tru our conversation
VO: I can see dat u came here early dis year with concord uni, Y did you change d skul?
ME: the last time I came for interview, the VO frowned at the skul wen I mentioned it to him.... So, I had to go back home and did a proper research and I discovered dat concord uni as a low rank

Note: the VO didn't agree with all wat I ws saying cos he's after d original SAT score. We almost fight sef cos he was d one dat denied me early dis year and also denied me again today..... I'm just fed up now.... I want the house to advice me on what to do

slimmy05: I can't as it will only be ready may, 2015. It takes 5years for cert to be ready. None in my set would have cert. I got attestation and also my transcript. The VO should be aware that you can't go for NYSC without graduating.

I was wondering if the cert is printed in heaven or they needed GEJ to sign and stamp them

slimmy05: He asked where and when I finshed uni. I told him and he was like can have a look. We were on it for like 3m. I was just distabilized

PedigreeCity: My school is resuming by next month. Pls houz wotz d minimum n maximum days for an urgent appointment.
