Mamacita007: imperriox I like your ans. Im going for masters in Logistics. If they ask me, I plan to say that the US offers strong international dimension to polish my commercial acumen, and the program at XYZ offers international certifications that would be useful when I return to Nigeria. My true passion is to work with humanitarian logistics with risk mgmt, response and relief efforts. just a summary Good but don't summarize for them during your interview. At most while still talking, (s)he may ask another question which I'm sure (s)he won't do that frequently because such is believe to be a rude behavior America. At least you've made your point. Best of luck |

I have applied for the USA visa three times and have been denied the three times. I graduated from OAU department of economics 2010 and went straight way for •̸Ϟ•̸¥ nysc and I finished by 2011 and as I was getting home A̶̲̥̅ friend of mine convinced me to see an agent who can get me an admission in the USA and I went to see the agent and at the end he was able to get A̶̲̥̅ masters in business administration at A̶̲̥̅ private university for me(Everest university) I call it A̶̲̥̅ mushroom university and I also booked A̶̲̥̅ date by Dec 12 2011 at the abuja cosulate office, paid •̸Ϟ•̸¥ sevis fee and On getting there, it went thus VO: why are you going to the US Me: for •̸Ϟ•̸¥ masters in ...... Univ Vo: can I have your transcript? Me: gave him the transcript Vo: what is fiscal policy? Me fiscal policy is A̶̲̥̅ government policy used by the government of an economy to stabilize its budget through the policy instrument of tax and borrowing. Vo: okay, so how many school did u apply to. Me: three schools. Avila university, Dallas baptist university and Everest university Vo: how did u come to know about the school. Me: through one of •̸Ϟ•̸¥ lecturer who studied abroad and we were at A̶̲̥̅ seminar where he made mention of some schools and Everest was part of them. Vo: so why Everest. Me: because they. Offer A̶̲̥̅ flexible curriculum that suits •̸Ϟ•̸¥ study. Vo: did you know Everest is A̶̲̥̅ very low standard school in the US and it was also associated with fraud. Me. Was silent there Vo: you might be inteligent •̸Ϟ•̸¥ friend but the school you're going is A̶̲̥̅ low standard school and am sorry I have to deny you. All you have to do is look for A̶̲̥̅ better school and come back here and we'll issue your visa. That's the way •̸Ϟ•̸¥ first visa interview went on December 12 2011. In this interview it was the agent who taught me what to say. He did not apply to the other schools for me neither did I hear about the school from any seminar or lecturer. Those talks were what he told me to say. The vo never asked me anything about •̸Ϟ•̸¥ tie •̸Ϟ•̸¥ sponsor nor any other thing. He denied me thus 1 Like |

During •̸Ϟ•̸¥ second application I did apply to the school myself which was Dallas baptist university and also MBA. Offcourse these schools don't have extensive masters degree and when I got the i-20 I applied at the embassy straight away and this time it was summer admission and I went to the embassy around March this year and when I got there, the interview went thus. VO: pass your documents. Me: I did Vo: what do you want to go do in the US Me: for •̸Ϟ•̸¥ master program Vo: why this school. Me: I said bla..... Bla....... Bla......... All those stuffs naw (by this time I have known about this thread) Vo: who's sponsoring you? Me: •̸Ϟ•̸¥ mum Vo: what's she doing Me: she the director of Central technological laboratory and workshop at Obafemi Awolowo university. Vo: what's the tution fee for this school? Me: 23thousand US dollars VO: for A̶̲̥̅ year Me: yes VO: this money is much are you sure your sponsor can afford it Me: yes she can. I have her statement here. Vo: I don't need that. Me: (trying to convince her that •̸Ϟ•̸¥ sponsor could afford) she also runs •̸Ϟ•̸¥ dad's little business where am also managing for the moment. VO: where's ur dad. Me: he passed away. VO: are you the only child. Me:no we are three. an elder sister and A̶̲̥̅ younger brother. •̸Ϟ•̸¥ elder sister is married and •̸Ϟ•̸¥ junior brother is studying Medcine at OAU. VO:gimme some min. She then went to meet the next VO who's A̶̲̥̅ guy next to her and they talked for some few seconds and she came back and said sorry I can't issue you the visa, I don't think your sponsor can afford the money. Me: she can (at this time I was confused) this is her statement. VO: am sorry Me: so what will you have me do. Vo: sorry I don't know. That's the way I was denied the second time and I came back home and quickly again I re-booked for an emergency date and three weeks later I went back again. It was also at abuja. When I got there the third time, it was the man that the lady who interviewed me the second time went to talk with that naw interviewed me. This is the way the third interview went. Me: good morning sir Vo: morning Vo: pass me your documents Me passed Vo:you were here three weeks ago Me: yes Vo: here you said your mum is your sponsor Me: yeah Vo: you also said you dad has passed away. Me: yes Vo: here you also said your sister is married and your brother is studying Medcine at the universitu where u graduated from. Me: yes: Vo: you graduated from economics Me: yes Vo: Why Masters in business administration. Me: I would like to emulate •̸Ϟ•̸¥ father in business. (at this time I was just anxious to get visa I know say I hef up for there). Make I share some fact here it might sound somehow but na wetin country turn jare. You see this three times I just wanted to get the visa and enter US go dey Jama Jama as if its easy that way. So this three times I appeared at the embassy I wasn't conscious of any standardized test neither was I considering the reputation of the school nor the course I was pursuing you could see that this really affected •̸Ϟ•̸¥ judgement. |

My true passion is to work with humanitarian logistics with risk mgmt, response and relief efforts. just a summary Another way you can send a message to the Visa Officer that you know about your school is that, if he asked why Kpolli University. Tell the VO one special equipment that the school has or tell him a research work of a professor in the department that thrilled you. For example, Kpolli University has a special spectrum analyzer which will help me in my research work, blah, blah, blah. There are five of these analyzers in the United states Universities. We got one in Imperioux University, another one in LarryPaddy University, blah, blah..Then, be expecting a question about spectrum analyzer. Another example,why Kpolli University; I came across Professor Kelvin thesis who happen to be the HOD of Computer Science. When I studied his work, it broadened my scope on embedded systems. Since then, blah, blah, blah. You can always take the VO to your direction if you know how to play the game. To be candid, they are using that position to learn. They don't know about all fields. 4 Likes |

Those guys are psychologist. They can envisage each applicant ambition. Though, sometimes they make mistakes to give VISA to wrong hands. First, about the Jama Jama you mentioned. Jama Jama no easy in USA now if one does not have their education. Even, Americans now are ready to wash dishes. Chinco/Indian/Hispano have also invaded. It makes it more competitive. This gives you a clue about unemployment rate.Did you watch Obama and Romney last debate. A guy asked a question that he will finish college in 2014 and he has no hope of a good job. That wasn't a setup, it's happening for real. Change the motive. Pursue study, then after ur 3/4semesters, you will now start thinking of what next. Come in for economics. try www.wiu.com .At least, you have a high chance of GA. Economics dept in dat school gives virtually all their Masters std GA. You can still pursue your MBA ambition later. MBA now in embassy is not a strong case. MBA can even be done online. Thanks. |

@Mark2see To add to what Jintosam said. There is an available scholarship opportunity for prospective grad students in Policy Economics for students from Africa. Its competitive. Send me your email address and I'll forward the link to you. Deadline is fast approaching. You need to write the GRE and pass in flying colors. Why do you need an agent? Even worse is that you used an agent for wack schools! |

@Mark4see I admire your persistence and relentless pursuit. Hopefully you get it the 4th time. Could you tell what College you applied to? cos you have a history of lusting after wack schools, no offense. Anyways, I bolded some words you might wanna delete from your next interview, and please improve your diction. I hate to hear things like, we are three. Why don't you say, i have two siblings. Just saying so take my input with a grain of salt. VO: this money is much are you sure your sponsor can afford it Me: yes she can. I have her statement here. Good Vo: I don't need that. Me: (trying to convince her that my sponsor could afford) she also runs my dad's little business where am also managing for the moment. VO: are you the only child. Me: no we are three. an elder sister and a younger brother ... my junior brother is studying Medcine at OAU. VO: gimme some min. Maybe don't talk about your bro next time especially if your bank statement is not too high. She probably met with another VO to discuss your Mum's financial ability to fund your tuition and that of your bro because she gave you a reason for denial "I don't think your sponsor can afford the money." She then went to meet the next VO who's A̶̲̥̅ guy next to her and they talked for some few seconds and she came back and said sorry I can't issue you the visa, I don't think your sponsor can afford the money. Honey, medical school is not cheap. I came back home and quickly again I re-booked for an emergency date and three weeks later I went back again at Abuja. What has changed since the last time you went there? Nothing. I suggest you try Lagos this time so you don't meet the same VO, and to avoid a situation like this "When I got there the third time, it was the man that the lady who interviewed me the second time went to talk with that interviewed me". I doubt that a change in location would raise eyebrows and if they ask, you can say that you've got an event in Lagos that weekend so you scheduled your interview to accommodate it. I believe you will do better this time around. Write GRE/TOEFL. 1 Like |

•̸Ϟ•̸¥ email address is mark4see@yahoo.com I will really love and appreciate that. ☀◦◦°˚Thanks˚°◦◦☀and God bless. •̸Ϟ•̸¥ CURRENT SITUATION REPORt. The third interview was on march this year. And after that interview I realized that •̸Ϟ•̸¥ profile was shabby and two friend of mine were issued visa during this •̸Ϟ•̸¥ time of junkyness. •̸Ϟ•̸¥ friends naw advised me to do the standardized test and apply to A̶̲̥̅ better school where I could get A̶̲̥̅ GA and A̶̲̥̅ school that's reckoned with and to halt the notion of entering to Jama Jama but to come in for study. With the help of A̶̲̥̅ friend that was introduced to me over there in the states, I changed •̸Ϟ•̸¥ orientation completely and nursed the ambition to further •̸Ϟ•̸¥ study and also to settle as an academician. Naw I wrote •̸Ϟ•̸¥ Toefl and I scored 98 and with the help of •̸Ϟ•̸¥ friend I applied to WIU MA economics and have been granted an admission for the spring session and •̸Ϟ•̸¥ i-20 is right next to •̸Ϟ•̸¥ door and I also wrote the gre. Here •̸Ϟ•̸¥ GRE score is damn low because the school did not require me to do it A̶̲̥̅s A̶̲̥̅ prerequisite but I did it incase am being asked at the embassy so because it wasn't A̶̲̥̅ prerequisite, I was slack about the preparation and I scored very low of 283. That's •̸Ϟ•̸¥ situation report for naw º°˚..... Naw I need all the advice and help that I can get. What and what is not yet right about •̸Ϟ•̸¥ profile. Currently am assisting A̶̲̥̅ Dr in the department where I graduated from at OAU. I would like to appear at the embassy by either first week or second week of December and house, all the gurus in this house I will need all the candid and instructive advice that I can get either constructive or destructive I just need you guys help. What is needed, what is still lacking and what can be done. I remain loyal º°˚.... |
