GSU has s very flexible and robust curriculum with great research output and activity that perfectly fit my career prospect( the prospect didn't want to come out but I had to force it out) as an Environmentalist and a Biomedical scientist.
I was also passionate about the research ongoing in Prof Chin lab (but at this time, the VO was interrupted for few seconds by one Lady Lady.

VO: What do you do?
Me: I am a Civil Servant, and I work with the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources.
VO: What exactly did you do?
Me: I told him how I was so the safety coordinator, and how I ensure no employee catch COVID. Just my job description in my DS. (VO cut in.. That's perfect) but I wanted to keep talking but he had already given me the white paper, so I kept shut
VO: He gave me the paper and said those words I didn't bother to hear.


This looks so long but it didn't last one minute. �.

Visa approved @Lagos embassy
Jan 5th, 2021

I give all the glory to God because he was in control! The journey has been a rollercoaster more details after the transcript...


After taking my I20 and passport & right thumb printing...

V.O: Where are you headed?

Me : I am going to the University of South Florida, for my masters in Pharmaceutical nanotechnology.

V.O: What’s this course going to do for you?
Me: With a degree in Pharmaceutical nanotechnology, I would have the knowledge and skills to work in a pharmaceutical industry. I would be opportune to introduce nanotechnology to pharmaceutical industries in Nigeria. This would help improve the quality of drug products in terms of their design, delivery, and development ( I stuttered a bit at the end)

V. O: I see you had a student exchange program last year in the U.S what was that about?

Me: Yes, I attended FAMU( called the full name) for a student exchange program in advanced pharmacy practice.

V.O: What did you do there?

Me: I had lectures and participated in clinical rotations.

V.O : How long were you there?

Me: A month.

V.O : One month?

Me: Yes.

V.O: What is Korent Services?

Me: That’s my father’s company. He is sponsoring my education.

V.O: What do they do there?

Me: It’s an Oil servicing company. They repair and service equipment used in the drilling of oil.

V:O: What does your mother do?

Me: She is an Optometrist.

V.O: How many siblings do you have ?

Me: I have five siblings.

V.O: And what’s the oldest doing?

Me: I am the oldest.

V:O: the one after you ?

Me: He is in Manchester University obtaining his masters degree.

Okay, I will be issuing your visa. Take this you will find information on the collection of your passport.

Me: Thank you.

She asked for my DS160 confirmation page and I gave her.


I want to give glory to God because these questions were from him. I prepared and allowed him to do the rest. Thanks to everyone who posted their transcript. I learnt a lot from them. Praise God!




The details: I deferred my course from Aug 2020 to Spring 21 and I applied for an emergency appointment. I was lucky. I got it. But I had to cancel my appointment after flying into Lagos because of the endSARS protest and also because my SEVIS payment hadn’t reflected (you need to allow 72hrs before appointment I think)
I scheduled another appointment on the 4th of December . The embassy rescheduled it for me to Jan 5th. I can only Praise God that all the effort was not in vain.

Congratulations, you were one of the very few approved in Lagos today. Upto 80% I guess were denied today. I saw and heard you.

hello everyone I need a pre-interview my date is approaching I would appreciate if I can get someone to assist me with expected questions and listen to my response @fairheart how can I contact you sir

was there a white man that interviews people quickly? Is kinda of speak fast too?

Alright.
Thank you Bro.

Geewin69:
Yes, I filled a new DS form when I reapplied. Nothing overly different; just finishing touches here and there.

I also attempted to reapply immediately, but ultimately, the availability of dates determines how soon you can file another application.

Hope this helps.

Friedpotato:

A woman in her 50s or more, but a white man was sitting behind her.
Just one window

Yes o white shirt! I was so happy someone was approved. Didn't even know it was you.

Congrats to all those that got approvals on their applications today.
Keep soaring guys.

So I keep hearing denials based on 214b, and my curious mind led me to do some research on the subject matter.

214B visa refusal is issued to people who cannot convince the US visa officer to return to their home country after visiting or studying in the USA.
A visa denial under Section 214(b) is not permanent, meaning that if you have new evidence to support your case, you are permitted to reapply. You can also apply under a different visa category if your previous application got denied on the ground of 214b.

I come in peace!!

Jidebambam:
For those who interviewed in Abuja, but picked visa in Lagos, what kind of notification did you recieve? The generic “passport number **** has been picked up” email or text?

My wife with kids were denied at Abuja today.
The experience with black VO is unimaginable.
We thank God and the Gurus in the house for the journey to this stage.

To others who were denied too, tomorrow is another day. Keep forging ahead.

I am so sorry to hear this.

I thought it was only the white VO today.

Two kids (boy and a girl, I guess around 7-8yrs old). If so, I think I saw them, but I did mine before them.

They can refire again.

Not going there but I know someone who graduated from Fitch State Uni.

Flakkie1130:
Is there anyone going to Fitchburg, Massachusetts here or do you know anyone going there? Kindly holla pls.

AbionaT:

A little suggestion, why restrict this to only America. Why not Association of Nigerian Scholars in North America?

They did after emeritusseun, before me.

I will suggest she reapply alone. When she gets to Pennsylvania, the kids can apply to join her. Just my opinion.
