Well, I appreciate your submission. What I witnessed and what I was told by over 5 people she interviewed is same as mine(j1,B1,F1).Yes she did her job but she wasn't patient.
V.O : pass me your I20
Me: here it is
V.O : have you travelled out of Nigeria before
Me: no, I've not been out of Nigeria
V O : are you married
Me: yes, I am married
V.O : will your wife be following you
Me: no she will only come for visiting
V.O : how will you be sponsoring this program
Me: I will be covering 90% of the deficit myself while my Dad will be assisting me( cut me off)
V O : how many university did you apply to
Me : 3 , listed them
V O : why this university
Me: she wouldn't let me finish and handed the pink paper

Someone said I should go ahead with the interview that the 6-month validity has been scrapped . What I observe is they look into your ds-160 and look for loopholes to deny you cos one will wonder why her first question was if I have been out of Nigeria before.

Thank you for your thoughts. Here is my transcript below.

Abuja
May 2024
Full Funding
VO: Window 10 (A pointed nose white lady)
Denied


VO: What school are you going to? I didn't hear her the first two times, and I mentioned she should please repeat herself.

F1: I am going to university of maryland, college park to pursue a Masters in Fine Art, I will be majoring in Painting. - Immediate I mentioned Master in Fine Art, she replied Okay, before I was able to stretch it to my major - Painting.
*I realised she wants direct answers*

VO: Who is covering your deficit? checking through her system.

F1: I don't have a deficit as I have been awarded a full funding - Graduate Assistantship which covers my living expenses and health insurance. *immediately she responded Okay* and checks my I-20.

VO: Have you traveled out of the country before.

F1: Yes, I have. I have been to Bleep for my work program, I have also been to Bleep for work program as well, then she cuts me by her OKAY.

VO: What is your post study plan

F1: Upon the completion of my program to I will be returning to my country to transit into the academia while I take the role of a lecturer in the department of fine Art at Bleep University, where I will be teaching university students art and its contemporary practices.
I will also be coming back to expand my studio practice back home (before I could proceed, she said OKAY)

VO: Tell me about your academic background

F1: I have a Bachelor's Degree of Arts in History, and after my graduation I enrolled for an internship under Bleep art studio where I learnt how to paint and draw because of my passion for Art. (she cuts me Okay). Then you are not qualified for this student visa at this moment.

Notes: She asked a question after the first one which I cannot remember. But I stuttered at first, before gaining my balance. My response was tying what the degree will do for me back home. I remember I talked about taking a lecturing position.

Maybe I was anxious at first, I don't know. But I understand I answered every question.

TWoods:


I highlighted your problem in a nutshell. Your bachelor's degree was in History, but you are seeking a master's in Painting? How do those go together? You've essentially abandoned your first degree and only stumbled on your love for painting when you joined an internship. Yeah, you didn't prove that you were a genuine student.

Taal17:

You should be fine.

Just note that you need to prove home ties or whatever your post study plans are.

Hey 🤠

@Castro9371 You are still hiding some information but let me answer you in general term.

1. The MBA you are going For in the USA regardless of your concentration must be borne out of a new desire by you or your employer to improve and broaden your business managerial skills based on the fact that your current business (es) or position at work etc, needs such academic move as an exigency.

2. You must also prove ties to the UK or country of origin and ability to offset your remaining deficit without doubt before any consular can take your visa application serious. Consulars will concentrate on your reasons for MBA and post study plans not just having the resources to do so.

Thank you mummy wa😩


Best Wishes 🙏

Hello

Please I have a BSC in philosophy...with 3 years of work experience in logistics before going for my masters in the UK...and my msc was in international business management... However, I just got a partially funded MBA program in the USA...Does this show career progression or I should sell myself more to the VO by mentioning that my concentration is on one of the major topics in my modules (Information system or Business analysis)


Will this fly?

Good morning to everyone in the house,
Please I need clarification in this issue. My wife just got her CAS letter from a University in the UK and we planned moving to the UK as family ( I and my son dependant visa). I want to know if it is acceptable to use only my wife's mother account as a proof of funds for the tier 4 UK Visa application?. Although the school advised we submit my wife's mother statement of account with my wife's birth certificate from the National Population Commission.

Please I need your candid advice.
