This is what you should be doing instead of flirting with slay queens (MsNas).
They will slay all your pay check.

Sometimes, you even pray for a slay queen to slay all your pay check especially if she has a good check too and has same goals as you. MsNas is one.

Weh done sir

Finally, I want to specially thank everyone here who has contributed to this thread in one way or the other...i can't mention names cos they are innumerable. I appreciate your selfless services.
I want to specially thank texrem who helped in paying my sevis fee.

I wish those who are to get their visa all d best. Just go through the transcripts here n go grab ur visa with confidence.
Congrats to those who also got their visas approved today, and to those who visas were delayed today, please fire back and get ur visa. Sorry for my loooooong story.

Congrats buddy. Welcome to Trumpet land

texrem:


My pick is why didn't your fiance send u f2? Did you guys filled engaged in your ds160? If pulling out his records and find out that both of you ain't engage. Then that's denial. Also, you shouldn't apply for b1/b2 to visit your fiance in the first place. That's no no. You re now applying as a student to go to USA seems suspicious to the VO. I have replied ur whasapp.

thought f2 was for married folks only. I don't think her fiance's ds160 will state that he's engaged. I guess only marital status.

@ Folsy and seeker88,

Cheers!

I was denied this morning. My transcript goes thus:

Vo:where are you going to

Me:  I am going to Oklahoma state University for my masters  in computer science with focus in big data analytics 

Vo:have u applied for a visa before 

Me:yes
(last year after my internship and before NYSC,  I applied for a b2 visa to visit my fiance at Tulsa,  he is a PhD student at the University of Tulsa) 

Vo:what's your highest level of qualification
Me:Bachelors degree in computer science

Vo:what do you do now

Me:I just completed nysc this April nd now I work as a private tutor teaching students in secondary school mathematics and ICT

Vo:who is your sponsor 

Me:my elder brother, said his name

Vo:am sorry you do not qualify for a visa at this time and gave me the blue paper

Pls house, what could I have done better? Could it be the fact that I just completed NYSC and I really do not have experience (before my NYSC last year, like 2 months after grad, I had an internship with PwC Nigeria for about 3 months. After the internship, I left and went for service) or could it be the fact that I applied for a b2 visa prior to this.
(school resumes in August and I do not want to defer to Spring 2018)
I was not asked for any doc, asides my I-20 and international passport.

I was not asked for any documentation either... Why didn't you tell him the main reason why you applied last time? Also, it's been over a year, why aren't you guys married yet? He'd surely find this disturbing. Sometimes depending on the vo, they want the truth..

Walspring:


@ bold 1.. i hope you will pray the same way when you get there and also to get to heaven..

@bold 2.. I hope its not the same pastor i am thinking here

i have replied your pm since morning

I think so o.... It's Daddy Dr D. K Olukoya.

Interview come finally start. Choi, see blue papers flying upandan, small fear catch me, but I still gather morale. It finally got to my turn, and below was the conversation between the VO and I:

VO: Good morning Sir **for my mind, I say this one way this man dey greet me with Sir **
Me: Good morning, how was your weekend?
VO: Great! And yours?
Me: Very well thank you.
*passed my document to him during d greetings *
VO: So tell me why you choose this school?
Me: I chose Texas A&M University Kingsville because the school offers a concentration in Renewable Energy system within their MSc Mechanical Engineering program.... * I never talk finish n vo cuts in*
VO: why the concentration in renewable energy? *I didn't expect this*
Me: The world is moving towards cleaner renewable energy so I wanna move with the trend.
VO: Tell me how the course is gonna run?
Me: I will be required to complete a total of 30 credit hours within 24 months; 12 credit hours of core courses, 12 credit hours of elective courses and 6 credit hours of thesis..... *he didn't allow me finish*
VO: So what are those core courses?
Me: Advanced engineering analysis, Advanced Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, *vo cuts in again*
VO: Did you apply to any other school?
Me: Yes, I applied to a total of 6 schools, and got 4 admits, 1 rejects and 1 pending. (I actually applied to 11 schools but I was afraid d VO might see me as being desperate if I mention 11 schools). Thanks to DrHopeful for this advice.
VO: So why did you choose this school over the other ones?
Me: During the application process, I developed a good relationship with Prof ****** who's currently working on a research in my area of interest. He was quite impressed with my GPA and GRE that he agreed to allow me join his research team upon my arrival. *at this point, I saw him brought out a white paper and circled a part, I started stammering...... Couldn't finish d last line as a result. I didn't even hear when d vo mentioned anything on approval. I just saw him passing d white paper to me
VO: *passes the white paper along with my i-20* .....it usually takes 4-5 days to process, I didn't hear d rest.

Immediately, my brain just reset... *in my mind I was, just like that? * Na so I collect d white paper disappear sharply.

No document was asked. He didn't ask me why I'm switching to Mech Engr from Pet Engr......neither did he ask how my current job relates to my intended Msc program. Everything was just God's favour.

My Little Advice
*Please make sure you go with a 'big' hard copy of your passport, not a 'tiny' one like mine. I was quite surprised that this was required from everyone even though it wasn't clearly stated as one of the items to come to d embassy with.
*Like what my bosses have said here over n over again; know about your school and course. It's d key.
*don't be in a haste to bring out document when it's not asked. One man in front of me was denied outrightly when he tried giving d VO a document that d VO never requested for. The VO just said to d man "I didn't ask you for any document, and then passed the man's passport to him with a blue paper immediately.
*I think the way one answers the very first question matters. They say first impression matters. If you answer the first and second question wella, they may not want to further probe ur genuineness with so many questions. Some VO may not even be patience enough to ask more questions/documents to confirm your genuineness.
*Go through d transcripts here to learn more about suitable responses, then develop d response to suit ur own case. I went through the transcript of part 10 and it was very insightful. Thanks to iCool for compiling such.
*Pray as if everything depends on prayer and prepare as if everything depends on ur preparation.
Anyways, these pieces of advice are not entirely new to anyone who has been here.

Congratulations....

To me, your prior b1/b2 visa application to visit your fiancé smells of immigrant intent (the visa officer's thoughts: she is only applying for this student visa to join her fiance abroad, seeing that she was denied the b1/b2 visa last year, she may not have any intent to study). Honestly you didn't have to give all that extra explanation after you answered 'yes' to his question, except if he asked you further why you applied for that visa. Keep your answers simple, short and straight to the point. Giving more information than necessary gives room for you to say something that could strike against you.

Asides that, everything else you answered looks good. I'd say try again. Or it could just be that you were unlucky and met the wrong visa officer.

I've been giving the shayo smiley to approved transcripts since the end of part 1 or so. It just occurred to me that if I look through my posts (7,363 comments in 231 pages), I can make a list containing ids of these members. Then we can use the ids (if still active) to locate their transcripts and make a master visa approved transcripts file starting from part 1 ending to the present transcripts.

Alternatively, if there is any member that needs visa approved transcripts and (s)he's computer inclined and not lazy, (s)he can put the id in the URL to locate the id's profile. With just a few clicks, (s)he should be able to locate the transcript.

I can take my time to compile the list of ids but I would definitely need people who have time to spare to make the master transcript file, if we're going by master file option. Let me know what you guys think about this, if we can make it happen.

It will be great to have a combine transcripts from Part 1 to Part 11 though it may look like a textbook but it will worth reading for visa applicants who want to get it right once. In fact no need to compile ids, let just know who and who that are ready to volunteer to avoid people doing the same thing. For me I can compile from Part 1 to 3 using your posts.
