Hey guys, here is how my interview today went: Counter 6, Abuja: Trust God, be confident and don't panic, all the best!


Me: Good Morning Sir

VO: Can I have your Passport Please (did not reply to greeting)

VO: What do you want to come and do in the US?

Me: Sure (I was about bringing them out)

VO: Oh I can see you were in the US last year?

Me: Yes,

VO: What did you go to do there? Did you enjoy it?

Me; I was the lead youth delegate at a United Nations Conference on MDG, and I was representing Nigeria. I really enjoyed New York and I met my mentor Dr. Helen Gayle at the UN headquarters, After discussing my career plans and research iinterests with her she advised me to apply to Uni, and Uni,

VO: Cool

VO; I can see you had also been to Ethiopia, what did you go to do there?

Me: I was representing Nigeria at a UN conference on Reproductive Health and Rights in Addis Ababa.

VO; cool, I can see you are doing a good job.

VO; so what are you doing now.

Me: Well I just finished NYSC a month ago and presently working in my uncle's hospital one of the foremost Kidney specialist hospitals in Abuja as a GP and Research Assitant.

Me: Mainly prevention and managment of Kidney diseases. We have state of the art dialysis machines and extracoporal shock wave lithotripsy.

VO: How many beds?

Me; about 16, but in Nigerian standard that is big for a sub specialisty hospital.

VO: I can see, interesting.

Me: Yea, it is quite a facinating place you need to visit it one of these days,

VO: Laughs

Me: Laughs as well.

VO; What is International Public Health

Me: told him bla bla bla

VO: what do you intend doing when you are through

VO: Who is paying for your education.

Me; I have a full tuition scholarship and the rest will be covered by my dad

VO: cool

VO: Please keep your I-20 safe, get your visa with this document at Lobito crescent.

Me; Thanks and have a wonderful day!

VO: You too!

My experience,
I got there around 8 30. They asked for sevis, appoinemtn gtb reciept etc. I got in at 11 did biometric etc. Ther guy before me was denied. And d babe in cubicle one denied almost all d people dat went b4 her except some old women goin for medicals. I was now prayin dey should not call me to counter 1 coz that was her counter. B4 I knew it, dey jumped d number b4 mine and asked me to go to counter 1. She asked me what I wanted to study,- I told her, what I do, I told her, d modules ill be taking, I told her. She looked at my bank statement. And she said, ill isue u a visa, pick it up at billingsway, gave me a green small card that they wrote visa pick up on. I asked for my i20 she said it will be inside mypassport wen I pick it up. Yes. Ayanfe got her visa before me. Many students were denied in Lagos oh. But me and like 4 other people were granted that I know of. The info on dis thread helped. But trust me, it is ur utternace dat will give u visa. Dat bank statement done mean anything. You have to be polite, confident and well grounded in education. Travel history also helps but like 3 fresh passports got their F11. You guys, thank God for me. I am now looking for flight. No more sevis, i20, fedes, statement, etc. I thank God.

Pple am thinkin of takin mums house documents,nd d one of my dad too making it 2 houses(documents).do u think it matters?som1 tld me dat i shldnt bother cuz they wldnt even ask at d embassy,bt i feel it would serve as a good tie to my hme country,wat do u think?

Adolite:

House,  I was Denied ooooo counter 7 , So painful , she focus on computer for about 1 mins and said sorry can't give u visa because u did not convince me that u will be coming back,


I need to schedule anoda Appointment, Any Advise where to go again pls?

Sorry about that.It means you failed to overcome section 214b bordering on family ties/economic situation and the likes.Do you have your parents/siblings in Nigeria?It doesnt matter which consulate you choose.You just have to present your case properly .

@cutegirl : cute interview, cute-confidence, cute-favour, cute-flight too, all the best in the US, I envy u,

@adolite, God's time is d best, so sad to read your denial,

@warzy,

In 3 to 4 mins interview, they will have more work to do than asking for that. Still no document worths load. So, take what ever you think can safe you in any unpredicted situation.

my guy, com online now . we need to talk.(yahoo).

Documents like that would have been very useful if your parents were the the principal applicant for a NIV but since you are the dramatic personae here,i m not sure the Vo would fancy them.Just make sure you dont appear desperate to the Vo.Smile at him and be very convincing with your answers.

@next2_TX
is not fresh passport oo, even my passport will be expiring next year october, have been to Cairo, kenya Ghana,

My passport is not fresh(ideally most people r fresh coz of ecowas) but I attached my former passport to it. Which had a shenghen and UK visa dat were valid. But I haven't been to the Us b4. Its nt a neccesity to have travel experience. But it may sort out the issue of family ties since u have traveled many times and returned. Please, d most vital thing is to sound like an academic. No matter how mean a VO is when dey realise that you actually have sense and know what you are doing, a bank statement may not even hinder you. Also the importance of prayer cannot be over emphasized. I also patiently explained d nature of my program to her. Its not very wise to define or blow grammer. The guy b4 me they asked him what is marketing, he started givin text book defination.

I am sorry to tell you that you denied yourself the visa based on your replies. You did not show that you are a real prospective computing professional.

1) Specialising in Informational technology is meaningless. Computer Science (and synonymously referred to atimes as[b] Information Technology[/b]) is broad and some of its specialised areas are: Artificial Intelligence, Theory of Computations, Database Management, Networking & Information Theory, Software Engineering (which embeds Programming), and a host of many subfields.

2) Fortran, are you kidding me? That language is gradually being fazed out in modern computing. It's like being asked that which languages do you think will be advantageous  to know in today's human world, and you say: Yoruba. What happens to English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, etc. Talking in Computing Jargons, Java, C++, HTML & PHP, and many others relevant in today's world would have been better.

3) By the way, FORTRAN stands for Formula Translation and is a language used in Specialised Scientific Researches.

Finally getting a visa with a course of study in Computer Science, or any of its fields, should be easy provided you are brilliant and know what you are talking about. I did by presenting a virgin passport and making a mistake of telling the VO that I might not be coming back.

Adolite

4) By the way, Oracle is not a programming language. It is a DBMS: an application that is used in Database Management.

well said!




when i was asked list some courses u will be studying in line with computer science, i listed oracle, java, c++ and co

@Aroy1,

 Yes i know i bleeped up gan, but will not relent, have to go lag tomorrow and try if they could schedule me again quick, because it seems is better to go embassy directly for them to schedule emergency straight by them self. a lady told me she was in abj yesterday for schedule and they gave her today which was good for her, so am gonna try am tomorrow,

nairaspace

You just misinformed. Saying oracle is a course of study is meaningless. Please know what you are talking about before you post.
Oracle is not a course; it is just a tool to do a job.

@house, what do you think  , where do u think i go wrong ?


I want to schedule again , thinking of going Lagos to do that tomorrow, Any advise how to go about it and get it done, ?

@adolite, i dont really kno if hw u ve written dis is exactly d way it went, may be your morale is now down. but, i will respond based on your post here.
firstly why this program in the school?, your response was so vague nd lacked d energy expected, dis is d first thing dat determines your intention to study,anythin u say here gives d V.O d impression abt u, d real meaning of dat question is,y computer study out of all courses n d skool, hw relevant is this course to NIgeria and what do u gain doin dis course talk of d school rating,student faculty ratio, student professor ratio,there researches on d field, u can even giv 2 names of prof.
2)which programming do you know, u said u did not expect dis y now??, i thot u kno Abuja ask academic question.more so, in dis forum dis same question wuz asked from an F1 going 4 computer science. your body language kuld av exposed somtin here(not genuine F1).
3)some coy, also vague!!!, u shld av name a particular coy or sectors u av in mind nd wat input u wil hav there.
see, it's not just your time because i av read post u did beta dan nd dem still get d green tag, pls pls.n pls, my response is just personal thot nd based on your post, i may be wrong too. dis is not d best tym to start saying dis stuffs bur am just trying to see hw prepared i am, am sure u can be of help to me too, i hope u will reapply soonest. best of luck dude.

@aroy!

What courses would he take related to computer science!!!

Well Said but I can bet my last $ that the lady that interviewed this guy does not know any of these. Lets be honest with ourselves here. These interviewers only have ideas of what they ask us because they have internet in front of them and they dont have time to go through all the results that come out when they ask questions. They just want to make sure you have an idea of what they asked.

What I am trying to say is, not everyone is intelligent, I am not one of the intelligent ones but I can stand my ground in an interview and if I have no idea of something I will tell you straight.

My advice to any body any day going for that interview is if you can stand your ground in English language and  read this thread thoroughly you wont have a problem. I had no idea what to say when I was asked the first question but I told the guy something which no body in that hall expected me to say.

@aroy1: please could you put an answer to my question? what courses would you take?

@house, what do you think , where do u think i go wrong ?


I want to schedule again , thinking of going Lagos to do that tomorrow, Any advise how to go about it and get it done, ?

if i was a VO, i wouldnt grant you a visa either. fortran? Since 1970s? Oracle as a programming language? Cannot define your course of study besides a vague "information systems"?

djunit1

The questions he was asked are fundamental. I think the way those people do it so to initially ask the rudimentary questions. If you prove yourself, then they move on to higher grounds.

By the way, how is life in New York City?


nairaspace

So many courses you can name depending on your level of studies. But for an undergraduate, some could be:

Introductory Software Engineering
Introduction to Computing
Mathematics for Computing
Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming
Systems Analysis & Design

etc, etc.

Congrats Cutegirly. Welcome to Obamaland.

@Adolite, sorry about that. That's pathetic.
I feel the woman got u from the first question. She just used the stupid FORTRAN question as a veil to deny u. You answered the question by letting her know how good the school is (which is fine), but u did not link it to Nigeria in any way. Please house, don't ever miss any opportunity to link yourself back home. If u like get lost when get to Yankee, but link yourself back to Naija in most of the questions.
On the Fortran question, always remember that u are going to study. You want to become a student which means u have not mastered everything. U can easily let her know that, one of the reasons u are going for further knowledge is to have answers to this question and many more and use the knowledge to help Nigeria in combating the cyber crime in the banking sector. Even professors will still check books to confirm one or two things. Always remember u are not a human encyclopedia. You can never have answers to their questions because their is no area of study, but u have to be smart in answering it.
If u have taken your time to read all the post here, there was a guy they ask square root of maybe 69 or something (I cant remember the exact question). He said he cant answer now but if given time to study he will surely answer it. They gave him his visa

My point exactly! Forget how smart some people sound in their interview. I will always say not every experience here is true because some people lie! Let us all just try to be sincere with ourselves.

You will not be as confident as you are when you get there just try your best to raise your confidence and answer to the best of your knowledge. Do not say what you are not sure of.

BTW, That was me, The question was, define statistics I was confused, and could have given him my English definition but I chose not to because I wasn't sure of that definition so I told him I didn't know it now but if given the time to study I will answer it.

Oh djunit1 that's u?! So, some other old timer are still in the house. I just remember if he had given your answer or something similar, he would have gotten it. I remember the way I studied this forum as if I was to take exam on it. I crammed almost all the visa interviews and reviewed everything at home before my interview. So, I can still remember almost all the visa interview of last year from gongo aso, oyewoles, nethacker,
How is life treating u over there?

Hello house, I have some question to ask and i need urgent response, I was to resume for fall admission but due to some issue i had to differ my admission to spring (January 2011) and my I-20 is sent and its with me already , so i will like to know if it is not early to go for interview by late September(already scheduled for 29th September 2010) for spring January 2011 admission, Lastly i will like to know if i will have to re-fill the DS-160 form or if i can still use the previous one filled, because i could see that the DS-160 confirmation number is still reflecting on my new appointment , should i need to cancel my appointment and re-schedule it after i filled my new DS-160 Form, hope it will not be hard to schedule appointment again?? because is going to be the second time i will be canceling the appointment.
Please i need an advice urgent ,
Thanks

Hi reloaded,
first, do u mean spring 2011 or 2012? I guess you meant 2012 cos it's not possible for you to be going in for spring 2011 at this point.

You would need to write to the school to send you another I20 form. You might not 'necessarily" have to send financial documents for them to issue you a new I 20. Why you would be needing a new I 20 is because the date expected to resume must have changed since you deferred resumption to a later date (even though every other information might remain the same). Also, I am not certain if your I20 number would remain the same ( I guess it should). Make sure you contact your school international student advisor to inform you on this accordingly.

If the I 20 nos remains the same, then you need not "necessarily" fill in a new DS 160 form nor pay a new SEVIS fee.

However, all these are subject to confirmation from other credible sources!
