The VO sort of asked you in the first question of why are you going to the US.

I am going to this school. I own this business, I want to take it to this height n this is how this masters will help me get there. I understand people will tell you to keep it short, but I don't subscribe to it, if your case looks obscure, it's your job to shed light on it.

I understand it's not easy as you might be waiting for the VO to ask you the question verbatim, but you would need to attack at the get go.

Alright thank you🙏🏽

You r a physiotherapist going to study something related to exercise n you have your own business. I believe your case is actually a lot stronger than you make it seem. Seems you sold yourself short in the interview n didn't dream big enough for your business...think venture capital funding

I didn’t get the chance to really explain that part😔

* I would also have denied you the VISA (based on the laid down trainings), if i were the Consular Officer.

1. Your funding is not a funding. It is an entrance scholarship or entrance funding , in order to ease or minimise your fear of paying a whole $27, 750. Therefore, your deficit is actually $27, 750.

2. YOU- I’m going for my Masters in exercise science and kinesiology at Western Illinois university Macomb , Illinois.

** Normally, when going for a study-abroad, you ought to have chosen a course of study that is very scarce or not available in your country or region. Why going for Exercise Science? Perhaps, it was easier to secure Form- I20? OR, how does it relate to your vision or your present career ?

3. CONSULAR - Have you traveled to other countries ?

This is a bait question in order to catch your intention. VOs knows that most applicants will quickly frequent UK, SA, Cotonou and Ghana etc, and rush back to apply for US VISA in order to fake travel history.

YOUR ANSWER: Yes I was in the UK earlier in May (You should have stopped here) , and I spent 3 weeks touring London, Edinburgh and Glasgow (unnecessary additions to tell the consular how well you have travelled).

4. CONSULAR - I see you have a deficit of $27,000, who would be paying for that?

This answer is too long and over emphasized. Every consular , including myself, will conclude that this is a Pre-meditated or Memorized transcript.

** YOU - I have a scholarship that covers over 25% of my tuition. And personally, I have saved 1M naira from my business proceedings for the past one year and this accrues to $10,000 which would be going towards my program.
The rest of my deficit will be covered by my dad, he is an engineer and the managing partner of….. construction services, a firm with over 15 years experience in structural and infrastructural construction projects. They have a staff strength over 40 and they’ve executed projects in 12 out of the 36 states in Nigeria and they make over 250 million naira in profit annually.
He’s also the proprietor of ….. college, a renowned secondary institution in Ondo state. With a population of over 500 students from different parts of the country.
Altogether, he personally makes an excess of 90 million naira annuaally.

🙏
Thanks for this feedback🙏🏽
I am a physiotherapist and I own a spa, which is why I chose the masters but I wasn’t able to say that

In my opinion, you should have explained your own business where you mentioned your personal savings, you could have talked about what you do to earn the amount, even if you wouldn’t talk about your post study plans yet, that could have set the VO up to ask more about what you do and how it relates to what you’re going for.


Also, you stated 1m naira equates $10k, I guess that should be a typo error

It was a lot to put together in one question. I started sounding like I was rambling.

Yes I said the 1M savings with my other savings accrues to $10000

1. How will i know when i don't reside with you ? Do you mean someone should suggest a lie ?

🙏
This is my transcript for context

Consulate- Abuja
School- Western Illinois University
Funding - 4K
Deficit- 23,750
First attempt
Black man(2nd to last window)


Vo- What are you going to the US for
Me- I’m going for my Masters in exercise science and kinesiology at Western Illinois university Macomb , Illinois
Vo - (stands and leaves for a minute before coming back)
You said you’re going for your masters
Me- Yes, I’m going for my Masters in exercise science and kinesiology at Western Illinois university Macomb , Illinois
Vo- Are you single or married
Me- Single
Vo- Do you have any relatives in the US
Me- My immediate relatives are here in Nigeria but I have an aunt in the US
Vo- Where does she live?
Me- New Mexico
Vo- Have you traveled to the US before?
Me- No I haven’t had any reason to till now
Vo- Have you traveled to other countries
Me- Yes I was in the UK earlier in May and I spent 3 weeks touring London, Edinburgh and Glasgow
Vo- I see you have a deficit of $27,000, who would be paying for that?
Me- I have a scholarship that covers over 25% of my tuition. And personally, I have saved 1M naira from my business proceedings for the past one year and this accrues to $10,000 which would be going towards my program.
The rest of my deficit will be covered by my dad, he is an engineer and the managing partner of….. construction services, a firm with over 15 years experience in structural and infrastructural construction projects.

He’s also the proprietor of ….. college, a renowned secondary institution in Ondo state. With a population of over 500 students from different parts of the country.
Altogether, he personally makes an excess of 90 million naira annuaally

Vo- Types for a while. Sorry you’re not eligible for a visa bla bla bla

(I’m honestly not sure what happened, maybe I said too much with the deficit) Also, he was looking really tired and irritated so maybe that was a factor. I wasn’t even able to explain my main points and why I was going for the masters.

Please advise🙏🏽

1. You are okay to fund yourself. But have it in mind that USA embassy now verifies POF in whatever form you present it.

🙏
Does this mean they now ask to see bank statements?

OyoTunjiUSA:

I don’t have an old DS-160 cause it was a placeholder number😔
🤠

1. Fill another DS-160, and on the day of your interview go with the old and new DS-160s. If there would be " Update Profile " option in your new profile prior to your VISA appointment, you will update it and print out another appointment letter , otherwise, attend your interview like that but with both new and old DS-160s.

🙏

Good day guys

I didn’t change my DS-160 number before the migration to a new website. Presently, the number there is incorrect and I’ve been unable to update it on the new website. Raised a ticket but I haven’t received a reply yet and my Visa interview is close. Please what can I do?😭
