calfavour: So I followed this hangout and I noticed all that was said there by the VO is exactly the same info gurus always give out here, there are even more info here. The VO even have to refer back to nairaland which is to tell u that VO's are also reading on this page. Bottom Point; count yourself lucky to be here. There is more here for free than even paying to EDUCATION USA. 1 Like |

bukunmmy:Congrats. Your one month volunteered job paid off. I always advice folks to fill important information as regards the interview because that could act as catalyst for issuance of the visa. Congratulations once again. You took the VO to your direction and that is so interesting. 3 Likes |

GOD HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! VISA APPROVED today at US Consulate, Lagos. To all dem gurus and bosses wey dey help us for this thread, your boy is loyal and I am saying thank you. I am really in a happy mood so I am sharing a very long epistle (my interview gan gan was short). IT’S MY TESTIMONY, PLS BEAR WITH ME. Left Abeokuta for Lagos at about 5:46am for the 11am appointment. Got to the Consulate at about 9:35am and was immediately welcomed by an agent who started lecturing me on the procedure and the ‘new formalities’. Well, he also offered to help me keep my stuffs with a little change so I followed him to his shop. He then said I need a coloured copy of my passport data page and he will do it for 1k, then I cannot go in with the passport ID I brought as I have already used it for my application. The consular will need a more recent picture different from the one I used for my DS-160 and that will go for another 1k5. I knew they were 41tens but I still called my boss, Emmy @Holudarey01, to confirm. I tried to calm my nerves in his shop and I left to join the queue at about 10:30am. We passed through the normal verification and clearance and we got to a room where the male folks had to off their belts. I no too get big body like that but I thank God sey I don chop some food and my trousers don balance for my waist or I for they hol my trousers with my hands. So guys abeg wear trousers wey balance for your waist o. AND THEN we got to the hall. Did my biometrics and the woman wished me good luck which I claimed with a big thank you. The first thing I did was to fine tune my hearing to the voice of the VOs, to determine my ‘hearing proficiency’ and how I would need to adjust when I move close. I then I noticed that the hall is a visa denial hall, they just dey share that blue paper like sey dem dey invite people for programme. I was very scared and practically SHAKING. I could not really pin point any nice VO. As a matter of fact, I used about 20 minutes in the hall and I could only count about 6 people that were given. And then it got to my turn, while I was waiting for the VO to finish up with another applicant, I was checking my head for a bible verse but I sha finally laid hold on Ex 4:12 – Now go therefore, and I will be with thy mouth and teach you what thou shalt say. Na like this the yearn go; Me: Good morning sir Not sure he answered. I passed my passport, I-20 and Sevis receipt to him immediately. VO: Place your right four fingers on the scanner Me: I did VO: Typed a while and checked my I-20( I-20 has been folded into two so he was still perusing the upper part.) Why did you wanna school at the University of Minnessota? Me: Well, It’s one of the top schools in US and ranks 16th in Plant Science according to usnews.com. The Department offers courses in Plant Biotechnology with is in line with my long term goals and on top of that, I am very convinced that the Professors are well experienced and they will do a great job to equip me with the necessary skills I need to succeed when I return to Nigeria to work for an Agricultural research institute. (at this point, I don dey gather small small confidence) VO: Do you have any family in US? Me: No sir, No sir. VO: Typed for a while and then flipped to the second part of my I-20 I can see you got an Assistantship, what are you gonna do to keep it? Me: Well, I must be committed to work for about 20 hours per week, maintain my status as a full time student and also have a CGPA that is not less than 3.0 out of 4.0 ( The guy just dey nod) VO: OK, what are you gonna be doing? ( I no understand am, so I said sir with my ear titled to the window) He repeated and said, Your assistantship, what will you be doing? Me: Oh! I will be working with Dr Rex Bernado in Plant breeding and Molecular Genetics and together we will be developing new varieties of corn (he turned away and started typing again, I continued) that are better adapted to wide range of environmental stress and also high yielding. Na so the guy just dey type o, paused for a while and put my I-20 in my passport and then continued typing. Na so I dey look am, for my mind i be like guy no just try am! Fear griped me o. I just know sey i no dey collect your blue paper. I sha dey try say some prayers. VO: When he finished typing, He removed my I-20 from my passport and said YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED and it would be ready for collection on Friday. Come see correct smile on my face. He did his POE lecture but he don forget wen I gast enter US so he asked his colleague. Told me and then passed me my I-20 Me: Thank you sir. I left the Consulate at about 11:30am Two babes I met outside were denied, one said its her second time and she will go to Abuja for the 3rd one, na so i dey advertise Nairaland o. Anoda guy in the car to abk also recognised me and we chatted, he was also denied and its so pathetic that he’s supposed to resume next week. I give God the ALL the glory, his faithfulness is ever true, always on the safer side when you have him as a friend. Many thanks to my big boss @Holudare01 for always referring me to NL to check out this thread, this boss single-handedly sent my about 15 study materials for GRE preparation, sent me the transcript of all approved visas in part 7, (i jark that stuff o, I jark am die) always ready to put me tru wen I’m confused about anything. Boss, God bless you, I am trusting God that you will also share your testimony soon. All of una wey still dey wait for your interview, there is a GOD, HE helped me today, He will help you too. All the best. BTW Agric folks no dey this thread ni? na so so chemistry, Engnring, biosciences, geology, MBA, MPH, I.T and so on full here. And if you dey Abk, come make we celebrate o. 14 Likes 1 Share |
