Transcript (lengthy but I wanna share everything to enlighten us because I also learnt from ppl's extensive transcripts)

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning and happy new month (didn't care weda she heard or not)�
VO: So where are you going to?
Me: I'm going to Bleep uni to continue my PhD studies in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry (I misplaced it but I was in control and didn't withdraw)
VO typed for some minutes and continues: so why this university?
Me: I chose (had to follow Fairheart's instructions to personalize) the university of... because of the work of Prof X on A and B. This is actually in line with my research which is on cancer and genetics having had an experience where my mum was almost a cancer patient (this is personal too and I know the Whites appeal to conscience. So I wanted to show them "intent". When I reached out to Prof and we discussed on my research interest and previous publications, he accepted to give me a spot and be my thesis supervisor. He's currently my thesis supervisor (I emphasized it again).
VO: What's your highest degree?
Me: I have (personalized again) Masters in Biochemical Toxicology where I made the overall best grade.
VO: followed up... Do you have transcript to show for that?
Me: Yes I do... I presented it to her.
After going thru it, I presented my undergraduate award certificate as best student, and she said no, no problem.
VO: types for "eternity" and uttered those golden words... I intend approving your visa... Bla bla bla. Keep your I-20, etc etc. Go to the window at... and pay your reciprocity fee ☺

I NEVER underestimated the power of prayers.. I NEVER DID. My whole month of November was dedicated to praise and thanksgiving every midnight

Mr Fairheart really thought me how to personalize my response and I want to sincerely appreciate him. I had to modify my response and reach out in private chat and he'd give me his verdict. God bless you sir!!!

I printed out everything I can think of... Abstract of my publications (someone was asked if he has publications and he said no), transcripts undergrad and MSc, certificate of award, etc etc. I understood that they love evidence and not mere words and I'm grateful it paid off when I was asked for mine.

Please I need help with suggestions for a cheap hotel I can stay in close to the US embassy in Abuja. Thank you

Good morning house, it’s been quiet lately but I’ve brought some good news. Some ppl I know personally that went for their interview this morning in abuja all got their visa ���� I’ve not yet gotten their transcripts but I’ll share once I’ve it. One said she was asked all the course she’s going for was going to benefit her. Keep the faith, if it’s for you then nothing can hinder you from getting your visa. Good luck and may the grace of the lord be with all of us yet to take out interview. Amen ��

fairheart:

Tell your sponsor to get the official or what is obtainable for this purpose. Since it is genuine, it won't matter if there's a stamp on it or not.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate.

I am the daughter ohh!

Good morning, everyone. Thanks for the transcripts, advice, and encouragement here. You were extremely helpful. God bless you all.
-

I think I got there at some minutes to 6. There was a crowd already. I had to register my bag for N2,000. Then, I learned that I was not with the correct copy of one payment receipt (the one paid to GT). They said that I needed something with a CGI logo.

A guy there showed me a sample of the correct document. Then, he said it would cost N10,000 to log in and print it. I didn't know when I told him he was wicked. Lol!

After bantering small, I started speaking pidgin/Igbo. I told them not to look at my clothes or smell my perfume, that I'm from the streets, and we're all here to hustle. All na packaging. Lol.

We later agreed on N4,000 for printing that paper and photocopying my passport data page. Photocopying costs N1000. If I hadn't argued, I would have paid N11,000 to print a sheet and photocopy a page.

I only agreed because I knew time was far spent. If you have time to argue or you don't have cash, please tell them you don't have the money. They'll drop the price.


Please, everyone going should ensure they're with the correct documents. The guys there are seriously looking for how to extort money from us. Someone behind me on the line said she paid N10,000 to print something.
-

After paying the N4,000, I ran to the line. My interview was for 8 a.m, and they'd already called that set when I was sweating/haggling over the price of printing. I lined up. It wasn't time yet, but they usually check documents first.

We stayed on that line for about three hours. No seats. Please wear comfortable clothes so you won't suffer more discomfort. Also, dress decently (like, nicely).

Your documents will be checked on the line. Carry your reciprocity fee, or you'll have to start looking for that.
-

At some minutes to/past ten, five of us entered the building. (We'd been entering in groups of five.)

We kept standing inside. We submitted the GT payments to someone, then joined the line for the interviews.
-

There was this terrorist at one window. He kept grilling people, and when he got to one boy that said he's studying Creative Writing or English (I'm not sure which), the boy was there for a while. I come dey sweat because I'm also going in for Creative Writing. He was grilling STEM-inclined people, and now, an art-based person was almost sleeping at his window. Jump and pass, na my prayer.

I started praying specifically to be sent to a friendly VO on the left (Window 10, I think). He occasionally asked people to stop sounding like robots, but from his demeanor, I could see that he was nice. Plus, people spent less time at his window.

Please try not to recite what you read online word-for-word. It shows when you're repeating it. Just pick valid points and mention them. Be confident.

Someone said you should smile (even behind your mask). I agree. A smile in your voice shows you're not intimidated.

When I got to the front, I saw that I'd either go to Mr. Terrorist or Mr. Nice Guy. They were delivering finishing speeches to the candidates in front of them. I prayed harder for the person in front of Nice Guy to pack his things and walk fast. Immediately he did that, I raced to Nice Guy. Two seconds more from the applicant, and it would have been too late.

TRANSCRIPT:

V.O: Good morning (smile).

ME: Good morning.

V.O: Please, pass your papers.

ME: (Passes papers.)

V.O: What school will you be attending?

ME: I'll be going to Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.

V.O: (Laughs.) Not to be mistaken for University of Miami, Florida.

ME: Yes (laughs).

V.O: So, I see you're going to study Creative Writing. Why Creative Writing?

ME: Well, I'm an editor, so I understand the power of language and how stories can be a powerful tool for sharing information about and addressing issues in the society. (It was basically something like this I said).

V.O: So, you're an editor. Freelance?

ME: No. I co-founded an editing company with my mother.

V.O: What kind of editing?

ME: Fiction and creative non-fiction.

V.O: Have you published a book?

ME: (Laughs). Not yet, but I have stories and poems in literary journals.

V.O: (Smiles). Well, that has to change soon. (Taps on my 1-20, and I believe it's because he knows my final year project is going to be a book).

V.O: (Tikka Tikka Tikka on keyboard.) Are you married?

ME: No.

V.O: Do you have kids?

ME: No.

V.O: Have you ever traveled out of Nigeria?

ME: Yes, to Denmark.

V.O: (Surprised look). Denmark? That's an odd place to go. Why did you go there?

ME: Well, I gained admission into the Erasmus Mundus Journalism program. I did not get the scholarship, but since it was a subsidized program, I joined. In my second year, I was supposed to go to Swansea but could not make it due to financial issues. (NOTE: Some Erasmus programs let students school in different countries. Depending on your course, you can school in 2 to 4 universities before you're done. One school per academic year or one per semester. Something like that.)

V.O: (Nods like he could feel my pain). But I see you have a full scholarship now. (Happy smile on my behalf).

ME: (Happy smile back) Yes, I do!

V.O: Well, I'll be approving your Visa. (Story story story.) Miami University, huhn? It's a great school!

ME: I know, right! And it's public Ivy, too. (I laughed and said that because the school is on a list of public Ivy League schools. The guy slipped my passport and the yellow slip back to me. Told me to have a nice stay. I told him to enjoy the rest of his day, smiled, and ran to the reciprocity place.)

-

That's all.

The interview lasted about a minute. I was worried he'd ask complicated questions, but nothing like that. Seeing as they were grilling people doing super-complicated courses, the chit-chat for mine was just a miracle.

-

Lessons learned:

1. Carry extra cash. You never know the stuff you'd need it for.

2. Calm down. Confidence helps anywhere. Overthink it, but don't overthink it. I hope that makes sense. Overthinking will make you tense, but you still need to realize how important this is.

3. Know why you're going to study the course. Me, I just need a space to chill and write in peace while chopping life, but I gave a valid reason for why I'm going. And what I said about why I'm going down the writing path is true.

These guys have interviewed people long enough to know lying patterns and stuff. Plus, when you deal with humans, you'd learn to watch their faces and decipher speech patterns.


That's all, guys. I wish everyone going the best. Please stay safe. Also, let's just say they're happily giving out visas. Stay optimistic.

God bless you, and good luck!

(Forgive any grammatical and punctuation errors in the text. Don't use this to judge my editing skills ohh. Lol.)

helo I'm going to Miami also can we talk?

My interview was really strange in my opinion. Here is my transcript
VO: pass me your I-20
(i did)
VO: so where are you going
Me: Portland, Oregon.
VO: what is in Portland?
Me: Portland state University
VO: I think he asked me what I wanted to do.
Me: PhD chemistry (actually environmental chemistry)
VO: How do you intend to make impact with that(this is me paraphrasing. I was already anxious)
Me: talked about how I wanted to study air pollution and pollutants to proffer solution and provide data for reference.
VO: how do you intend to fund it
Me:I am fully funded and my dad will help out with the rest
VO:what will you do for work?
Me: I have a graduate assistantship. So that's what I'll do for work.
VOSwitches off Mic and turns to his colleagues and discusses for more that the time of my interview. I was already getting scared. The discussion looked intense)
VO:I intend to issue your visa. The rest was a blur...
My interview was really short. I see this as God's mercy and favour because I was all over the place.
I'm grateful to everyone who released their Transcripts and were of tremendous help.

Please I need help with suggestions for a cheap hotel I can stay in close to the US embassy in Abuja. Thank you

ANGELES HOTEL
Weekend price for Studio Room; ₦8,750

Location: 17 Yawuri Street, Garki Abuja.

STEM is very broad, and is focused more on technical skills. Non-STEM jobs mostly require excellent soft skills like oral communication (accent in particular!!!). For non-native English speakers (like we are), it's easier to fit into STEM fields here.

Also, US companies value internships, and see it as a pathway towards making fulltime postgraduation offers. So before you chose any course to study in the US, please take time to research on the job market for it - especially programs like political science, etc...YouTube can help you with this. All the best!

Sandrahopes:
Hello house
