Taking Jamb and applying to a school in Nigeria takes a lot of time.

How do you want them to assess your academic performances? You better plan for Fall; you won't meet deadline of most good schools for Spring: the deadlines are passed for major schools for Spring already.

Target Fall. Besides, some VOs may ask why you didn't wait for the mandatory NYSC. That may count for you (that you will return for it) or against you (that you want to run away because you will only need it if you plan to return)

Beegamer:
Guys, I graduated from secondary school 2015 and went to lautech for bsc. Unfortunately the school has been on strike for 15 good months. I decided to apply for admission in USA and luckily they gave me computer science. Already booked my appointment for next week

My Question::::
If they ask why am I just applying to university now? what will I say

OR

What have you been doing after your secondary school?
Any help please because I know they will ask.

Rheenah:

Yea but what if he is asked why he did not retake Jamb and reapply to a school in naija

I agree with Rheenah's viewpoint on this issue. That one wishes to apply to a school in the US because his own school has been on strike doesn't sound cogent enough. Why didn't he apply instead to a very good private university here in Nigeria? He will get similar or closely approximate education in a place like Covenant University and spend far less than travelling abroad. Then again, why is he applying to the US? there are many other countries to pick from. Some schools in Germany, for example, offer great education and do not charge tuition. So why the States? These two questions will certainly run through the mind of most VOs. The good ones will ask and give you a chance to elucidate, while the bad belly ones will just deny you without further questions.

I personally don't think using strike as a reason is a great idea. To me, it sounds like an emotional one. Like a decision taken due to how frustrated one felt at the moment, especially as deciding to school in the States instead is neither the only available nor obvious option. So what if you get there and your head clears after 3 months and you begin to regret your decision? Some VOs would wonder that (I am not doubting your personal decision to go. I understand you as a fellow Nigerian). To them, deciding to spend lots of time and (especially) money in a particular foreign land on a value you can generally get anywhere should be a decision that is carefully considered and based on sound reasoning. That is more like how they think.

Again, applying to a school in Nigeria or abroad takes a year. You pass, you get admitted. Telling the VO that taking Jamb and applying here takes a lot of time would seem like admission in Nigeria via Jamb normally takes like 2 years and they know that is not true. Foreign schools have Fall and Spring. Preparing for each would cost you a minimum of a year too. Well, the guy in question may claim this is July and he wishes to target Spring intake abroad as he has missed Nigeria's Jamb for this year and doesn't want to wait till next year but again, that reason is not cogent enough. It implies your decision is a 'spur of the moment' thing and hints at desperation.

Telling the VO something constructive you have been doing with your time would be better. Forget the fact that you were in Lautech. You want to go study Computer Science. I presume you must have learnt some basic computer packages. Have you taken some MOOC courses (udemy or coursera or the likes) or have you been working in a computer/computing facility? Even if its a business center? You can repackage all these. Make the VO feel like you are going abroad to pursue your passion and that you are confident in what you want and that you are going to get it where you are going. That you want to go there because of strike in your school is flimsy.

Hello gurus
How long do I have before scheduling another appointment after two turn backs. The latest was yesterday (both as a result of iapplication numbers not matching with theirs on the list)

So sad to hear

You can schedule immediately once you are able to pay the visa fee. Search for an alias named "nefertitiram" using nairaland search. He has offered a couple of advice on this DS 160 reference number mismatch.

Wishing you all the best.

I am a visa one-timer and can only imagine how this feels. Please do not give up. I know someone that was approved on the 8th time. Four times is enough experience to know the things you need to change up. But definitely you need to change up things.

Why not post your transcript? People here may have one valuable advice to give.

Wishing you all the best next time. Please REFIRE please!

My Bros, I have two things to say:

I am sorry to say this but it appears that you are finding it difficult to shake off the previous failures from you. It is creeping into your current performance. You will need to really pray and fast (though you said you did that).

I will also suggest you do some self talking. Use a pen and a paper and right down some motivational statements you want to say to yourself. Stand in the mirror and look yourself in the eye and say those! Say them until you believe them. You need to know that you are not a failure. Working in the bank for years and having helped other people make it means you are good enough and you can make it too. You were interviewed before you got your job and I'm sure you have done couple of presentations at work. Think about those past successes.

Use google and get some more motivational stuff for yourself and use them. If you have a motivational book on your shelf, use it. This will help to remove the past ordeals from your mind. Do this alongside with prayers to God too.

Have you been doing this Visa interview in one location i.e Lagos or Abuja? If so, think about switching locations.

You can PM me if you want for further discussion.

best,

I do believe in dreams and I have two or three books on this subject matter on my shelf. I consulted with one titled "UNDERSTAND YOUR DREAMS NOW by Doug Addison". It has somethings to say about spiders and cobwebs. It didnt sound nice at all. I can share the exact things it said here with your permission or by PM.

I suggest you start taking seriously the issue of the supernatural and starting praying for real help in this area.

The mind is a very powerful thing.... you become what you tell yourself so you need to be careful

While you might have prepared physically you did not prepare mentally which is why you became deaf and dumb. You become so consumed by this visa thing that its over taken you

Step back and tell yourself its ok if you dont travel. Some people still make it having never left naija. Once you tell yourself that its not a do or die and actually believe it then you become more relax about the whole thing and take better control of your nerves. you also need to remember the VO are just regular human beings like you who just have a job at the embassy same way you have a job ..... They ask questions you answer .the end. Nothing special about that .

In as much as i shout world people...i actually dont believe in world people neither do they have any hold in my life. No power greater than God. You are what you believe in . Focus on you
