[quote author=Salam038 post=97491425] Alhamdulillah, Glory and Praise be to no one except Allah, The Cherisher, The Provider and The Most-Merciful. I had my interview on morning (December 16) at the Abuja Embassy. Nothing much to say about but it's God's Mercy. Here we go, my scheduled time was 8:30am but I couldn't do my interview till around after 9 due to long queue and some processes. I ordered a bolt cab and got to the embassy around 7:40am. I was still in the cab, trying to get water in the midst of those hustlers, they came to me trying to disturb with their words. I just told them I'm fine. Getting to the embassy, I joined the outside queue, we did the first papers screening and asked to go inside. Getting inside, we did the biometrics test (One Black American verified my I20 and passport and a white woman did the biometric test. I thought she's the one to interview me, then I tried to calm myself down. She told me to meet the security), this time i saw the two VO (White man and Black American) attending to the interviewees, then joined the queue for the main deal. When my turn reached, the Black American rejected three people straight before me, I was clueless but only noticed he didn't spend much time with them, during this time the white man still having a good conversing interview with a very young girl going for her Bsc in sport area. I kept praying and tried to calm myself down. They called next, I went to the Black American. Alhamdulillah, It's God's Mercy. School: Western Illinois University Course: Quantiative Economics GRE/GMAT: No TOEFL: No Scholarship: $2000 Deficits: $21,770 But There is always believe in the Almighty. Here we go again... VO: Pass me your passport and I20 Me: I passed him the Passport, I20 and the Sevis Receipts. Then I greeted him, Good Morning Sir (he didn't answer perhaps he didn't hear. He just focused on the system. I also focused looking at him and kept praying) VO: (After like 3 seconds on his system he asked) How did you hear about the school you're going to? Me: After decided to study my Master degree in the United States, I did my research using some academic websites and I found about 5 schools that I met their requirements. I eventually applied to 2 (WIU and CSU) VO: After typing for like 10seconds, he asked what do you do? Me: I work as an Accountant a XYZ company, where I prepare the financial statements, audit the financial statements, give business advices and compute taxes. (Thats exactly what I filled in my DS-160 as work responsibility) VO: Immediately he asked, since when have you been working with them? Me: I started working with the company after my Professional exams since July 2019 VO: After typing for like 10 seconds, Are you married? Me: No, I am single VO: Have you ever travelled before? Me: No, I have never VO: After typing for like 20 seconds, Who is your sponsor? Me: My Uncle, Mr XX, who is also my mentor is my sponsor (I kept praying and stay focused looking at him even though he didn't look at me for once apart from the first time) VO: Straight up, he picked the white paper, add my Passport to the ones he had approved then said I will approve your Visa, then returned my documents and gave me the white paper. No one did this but Allah Congratulations. Prayed Allah makes your affairs easy (Amin). 7 Likes |

Pls house I need clarification on pathway program. I observed 1 yr was written in the I-20 instead of 2yrs for the masters program. Following the observation, the school was contacted but we were informed the duration of 1yr period is correct and new I-20 will be issued after 1st year. Pls, what’s the implication on F1 Visa duration ? Is it that the student has to return after a year and do another F1 visa application and interview when new I-20 is issued. Thanks 1 Like |

This is weird. For me, my I-20 showed 3 years instead of 2 years for a Masters program (MBA). I checked and I saw that other Masters have 3 years. I really don't know why it's not exactly 2 years. lawali: |

lawali: Your F1 visa is not super important, its your I-94 that matters. Likely your I-94 will have the same duration as is indicated on your I-20. Which means you'll have to leave the US and re-enter after 1 year. 1 Like |

Same view about him. God's mercy, know your content, do not answer what he did not ask you, do not give long response but concise ones and filled with them your strong points ... When my turn reached, the Black American rejected three people straight before me, I was clueless but only noticed he didn't spend much time with them, during this time the white man still having a good conversing interview with a very young girl going for her Bsc in sport area...

No one did this but Allah. Tips: Please Pray Pray Pray and practice well before your interview, and Pray Pray Pray. Know every details you filled in your DS-160 form even the dates. Do more practice. Dress nice and comfortably, If you're going for any Management or business course or Law, pls make sure you dress like one of their students. Try to look at the VO eyes, if he/she looks at you back put on smiles pls (that white man likes that here in Abuja, that black American is good too, I think he assesses people psychologically). If you are having your interview in Abuja here and perhaps still going to be interviewed my these two men, note this, the white man likes conversation pls make it easy for him with big smiles. And the black man like straight words please don't say what he didn't ask unless you know they are key words. Fairheart, I DM you and you responded immediately like you do to others. May Almighty grant you more goodness and continue to bless you. You are always available to help even when you felt Ill. No, You are a Man brother, God bless you. Benita, Strong woman. May Almighty stay with you always and bestow you His mercy. You are always there to help me. You put more effort even after getting your Visa approved a month ago. God bless you. Thanks everyone.

I worked and lived near Sf for a while and can comment on this. SF is a really expensive city. People make six-figure salaries and still dread living in SF. But you may be able to live in Oakland surrounding cities and commute via train to SF. PS: Rent is SF is astronomically expensive lol niceadebola: |
