good day family... I had my visa interview yesterday 28/11/2017. Like someone rightly pointed, its getting tougher by the day ![]() In my own case, i just believe it was God's doing. Not to bore you so much, I was interviewed by a guy in Window 6here goes my transcript; V.O: good morning Me: Good Morning, how are you doing? V.O: Fine thank you (in my mind, this is going to turn out good)... Pass me your passport and I-20 please Me: passes V.O.: Why are you going to TAMUK? Me: For my Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering V.O.: How many schools did you apply to? Me: 3, Tamuk. Sdsm&t and TTU V.O.: So why Tamuk? Me: Tamuk offers excellent education to its student through high quality teaching, research and scholarly activities. It has facility for work in Computer aided engineering design and computational fluid dynamics. I am keen on working with Dr. Johnbull. I contacted him and he was impressed with my undergraduate result and test scores(if only i know i hyped myself in his eyes at this point ![]() ![]() Now this is where the real driling started... Baba was on his computer for like 2minutes or so, apparently he was checking online for questions to ask me on fluid dynamics since i claimed i was a badass. i have read so many transcripts here on NL, i havent seen something like that before, the most they do is ask one technical question in your field. Then the bombshell followed... V.O: Tell me about di-kinikan kinikan of fluid mechanics (i swear i never hear am before, in my mind, i was like village people finally followed me to this place) Me: What? V.O: Repeated question again ( i still couldn't make sense of what the word means or how to link it with fluid mechanics... My own don be, i asked what again) Then he repeated the question for the 3rd time using the same word and then he was like "or how is it pronounced".. that was when i knew baba just checked something randomly, i dont know where the courage came from, i just started saying this unplanned rubbish confidently and even said it has application in production industry like coca cola V.o: (obviously wasnt impressed by my answer, i could read that) then he asked for something something on turbulent flow Me: Confidently, Turbulent flow is a flow where reynolds no is >3000. where you have layers of fluid interwoven into each other. It has application in oil production and undesirable in some circumstances, as a result, you see flow meters and other measuring devices on line (trust me, I dont have an idea of either the question or how the answer i was giving relates with it) V.O.: Explain Bernoulli's principle Me.: (Ope ooo, finally i can breathe) Bernoulli principle is basically the law of conservation of energy, the cumulative energy at one end of a flow is equal to the other end, so when you vary a parameter like diameter, you will expect a change in pressure. i gave him an instance of a venturi meter V.O: Are you married? Me: No V.O: Do you have kids? Me: No V.O: Have you traveled out of Nigeria before? Me: No Sir, I have not had a need to V.O: (Takes my I-20, sees my sponsor/guardian ) who is Donald Trump? Me: My Uncle V.O: Why would he sponsor you? Me: He has been paying my fees since I lost my mom in high school V.O: Do you have his statement of account? Me: (in my mind, I was like My worst fear has just been confirmed...But Still confident) Yes Sir V.O: Can I see it? Me: Sure you can, brings it out and passes to him (and I began imagining life after collecting the blue paper... This is why. The statement of account was printed over a 4months period, it opens with a balance of 17k, then for the 1st 3months, the credit n debit on the account were in the range of 2.50 to 100... So I wasn't surprised when he asked me if it was a dollar account. I disappointedly answered, "no sir, it's a naira account" ... he checked the 1st 5pages, saw the trend. I just quickly added that I had instate tuition scholarship(I didn't even care if it was a necessary information or not), he checked my I-20 to confirm, then he did a quick conversion of the balance equivalent in naira. Money in the account was 9M, so it was quite marginal. He continued checking then he flipped to the last page, he saw the 1million credited and debited in the week I printed the statement and the 9million credited into the account the day I printed the statement... I was like it's over. He returned my statement and Then the endless typing followed and baba brought out the white paper, circled something and said I will get an email from them within 3days... Omo yours truly couldn't hold it anymore, I let out the sigh, carried the white paper and my doc, said thank you Sir and walked out of the hall crying �... 19 Likes 2 Shares |
