Oga streemic, what's good? How have you been?

repsin:

juniorsmith:
HOW MANY DAYS DID IT TAKE YOU TO RECEIVE AN APPROVAL?

Glocal1:
Congratulations bro, wish u d best. Please I av some questions for u, what are ur gre n toefl scores?, is ur year of graduation d year u completed NYSC or d year u finished in school? Thanks n Congrats once more.

repsin:
Bro, do u mean VO will see your application on his system? If so, that's on another level mehn. Maybe that's the reason they don't ask for documents anymore cos you must have submitted almost everything during the school application.

MsNas:


Congrats bro. Welcome to the Land of the free. As per what I said, my roomate, who is a GA with the International Students Office was the one that gave the the gist. She even told me that the schools knows who will get visas and who will never get it and those who just needs to convince the VO to give them the visa.

Why I'm saying this is so prospective applicants can put in the utmost best into their applications. She gave me example of a Nigerian guy who's SOP has a ton of grammatical errors!! He even swapped using he for female and she for male Such was the error. Yet this person claimed he was coming in for graduate studies and had nailed a 97 in TOEFL. How manage? She said the International Students Coordinator just pointed out the errors in the SOP before uploading into the SEVIS website and told her categorically that "This guy can never get a visa"

Your visa decision starts from the moment you put in the application for admission. Don't do standardized tests for embassy's sake. The VO will know you never used the test in securing the admission, cos it won't be among the documents the school uploaded unto the SEVIS website. Be consistent, any information you use in securing the admission should barely change from the one used for visa interview. I don't know it all. Just chipping in my bit.

Once again, Congrats JabinodelaRatta. You deserved it, so do shakara today

coobboy:
0My appointment today was scheduled for 9:30, left home around 6:30 got to the embassy 8oclock, due to the horrendous hold up on the island.... When we got to the embassy, we had to take a new passport photograph, cos ours was old.
Fastforward, waiting for our appointment time to be called sheesh.... We then started checking out our ds-160, mine correlated with my appointment printout, but my sister's didn't, so she was sent back not to enter, she was adviced to book another appointment, which she has done( so y'all should make sure your ds-160 confirmation page should correlate with your appointment page, or else you would be sent back home) I then went in alone.
So whilst waiting in the waiting room to the embassy. Before it got to my turn , it took like an hour or 2..... The embassy was filled up so we had to wait, to make everywhere cleared up.
Inside we were asked to remove our belts and any metallic object, dontcarry anymetallic object when going for an interview: my comb was confiscated, whilst checking in. In the embassy room I had to wait in line for so long before I could get my biometric done, finally my number popped up, while thumbprinting I was looking around to sit up front checking out for available seats, looking left and right, the nigerian woman was like this one ur looking side to side hope no problem, better face me, then you'll face them later, told her I was nervous.
Sat down and waited for my number A335 waited for so long..... One black young girl was just denying irrespective of how u answer your question and all chai see gbege, I was no praying not to go to her her window oh.

@jabinodelaratta...Congrat on your visa approval. Please post your transcript . Was it that slim lady @ counter 4 that interviewed you?(She can drink coffee ehnnn)

Any body going to Oklahoma?? ??

My interview yesterday at the embassy was just a display of God’s favour and grace. I had always maintained a positive attitude towards the outcome of my interview even when friends and family were hoping that I would be granted the visa, my response to them was that I had gotten it already because of the trust I had in God’s word which is always steadfast and never lie.

One thing I noticed during my interview was that even before I was called up by the VO, the decision had already been made, that is my visa had been granted. This gives credence to what MsNas talked about. That the US embassy carries out a kind of preliminary review on all applicants using the Ds-160 form and Sevis information provided by the intended school of the applicant. How do I know? When I was telling the VO about the funding I received from the school, she looked at her screen and quoted the exact amount of my annual stipends even when she did not ask for my letter of acceptance where the amount was quoted and I didn’t submit it to her. I was shocked!! Note that this amount wasn’t stated in my I-20, it was just the total amount of funding provided by my school that was stated in the I-20.
Another thing I noticed was that she wasn’t really interested in what I had to say because she was talking to the security while I was responding to her questions and also she never allowed me to complete my statements.

My interview was very short and was the fastest of all applicants that went before me. It was less than a minute. I was even getting worried because all applicants before me spent more than 5mins- they were all thoroughly scrutinized and we were more than four hundred. The impression I had from this thread was that the interview, in most cases, was less than 5mins. That raised my adrenaline while waiting!
First and foremost, I give thanks to Almighty God who harkened unto my request, granted me favour and made the interview successful.
My profound appreciation goes to Bigfrancis21 who, among other things, critiqued my sop and taught me how to be more professional in my presentation.

Also, a very big thanks to the prof, Sir Imperiouxx. This bro is something else...lolzz, if he were to be a member of the admission committee, applicants would need the extra grace of God to fully convince and satisfy him. He critiqued my sop line by line in its very details. He made me went into extensive research and reading, sometimes taking three weeks for me to respond. At a point I almost got exhausted and was like “what’s this man own self” lolzz. However, it was worthwhile- it paid off. Thank you very much Sir!!

To my friend, brother and colleague at my intended school, Calmdown, whose brief meeting with me at unilag before he left for the state was a “wow moment” in my life, I say thank you very much!!

I also thank all members of this thread whose contributions have been very helpful.

Now to the interview proper: I got to the embassy past 6am, did the normal screening and waited for my turn. My number flashed at window 2, one young white lady who didn’t smile at all, and the interview went thus:
Me: hello, goodmorning
VO: goodmorning, you are going to Georgia State University
Me: yes
VO: why this school?
Me: when I was researching on schools to apply to, there were two factors I considered which for me are what make a university (she was just nodding her head) and these are research and creaa...creativity discovery...lolzz( I got tensed and off balance wanted to say creative discovery)...I think she understood. Continuing...this school focuses so much on research. I chose this particular school because of its highly distinguished faculty, research-oriented curriculum and access to cutting-edge research facilities ( i don’t think she allowed me to finish this statement)
VO: what do you want to do with this program?
Me: my country nigeria...my country nigeria...I got off balance here because of her disposition (I think she wasn’t interested in what I was saying...meanwhile one security guy came and she was talking to him. In my mind i was like why is this lady acting like this? I stopped talking) while the guy was still by my side, she looked at me...i think expecting me to continue talking...continuing...the vision of my country for the year 2020 is to become one of the world largest leading economies. And as you know, health status is correlated with productivity. No country can be productive if her citizens are not healthy. Therefore, I intend to come back and apply the knowledge, skill and versatility I will have acquired into the health sector as my own way of contributing towards the realization of that vision. Although, she did not allow me to finish.
VO: what faculty will you work under?
Me: I almost messed up here...thinking about faculty as related to our university system, though I didn’t say it out. I quickly processed it and said Dr Donald
VO: which area?
Me: he focuses on medicinal chemistry
VO: looked at me and said, what is medicinal chemistry?
Me: medicinal chemistry is simply the design and development of drugs and my research is going to focus on designing and developing drugs for the treatment of diseases like cancer and anaemia...she nodded her head.
VO: did you apply to other schools
Me: yes
VO: name them
Me: Oregon state uni, north Dakota state uni, uni of newhampshire, uni of southern Mississippi...she was just nodding her head...she didn’t allow me to finish
VO: how many admitted you
Me: in my application to the different schools, it was fall 2015 I applied for. However, gsu gave me admission for fall....spring2015. The rest have not made decision on my application
VO: how many admitted you?
Me: was looking into her eyes with boldness...only gsu, no decision yet from the rest
VO: did you write any examinations
Me: yes
VO: which one
Me: gre and toefl
VO: may I see...guess she wasn’t really interested in seeing it because while I was searching for my gre, the question on the number of schools and how many admitted transpired between us.
VO: what did you do to prepare for this course
Me: i have been teaching, teaching in a secondary school.
VO: you did nysc
Me: yes
VO: when did you graduate? I noticed she was looking at her screen
Me: November 18, 2010 as I stated in my ds-160
VO: what did you study
Me: biochemistry
VO: who is sponsoring you?
Me: the school gave me funding and assistantship. The remaining balance which is just the living expenses will be supplemented by my sister
VO: what does she do?
Me: she manages one of the branches of her husband’s company and in addition to that, she imports African fabrics from Senegal.
VO: place the 4 fingers of your right hand on that and also the left
Me: i did accordingly....she didn’t say anything again. She was typing and reaching out for the white paper that was when I remembered she asked for my test scores. I gave her the gre. She just held it, didn’t look at it and threw it back to me..gave her the toefl, she threw it back.
VO: gave me the white paper and said pick up....that was the only thing I held
Me: thank you and left in a joyous mood...she responded but I didn’t hear what she said exactly
This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in my sight!!

dotman2460:
Good news and not soo good news. One granted while the other was "temporarily" denied......I believe the visa is his and he will claim it the next time.

ME: A recommendation from an alumni.

ME: Works with so and so.

The moment she set aside my passport and returned my other document, I knew God has done it.
She then utters those magical words, "Pick up your visa at this address on Monday'.

I turned around, smiled from ear to ear, punched the air and kept on wishing everyone on my way out goodluck, even the ones that were not there for any interview......security guards.

Nothing but God.

justwise:


Yes he can, you don't need anybody here to discourage/encourage you to commit crime, just get on with it.

All just look like a mere conversation within 2mins.
Anyway its Gods grace and divine favour.
However,confidence also played key role.

Thanks to all gurus that edified me during d admission and visa application process.
Thanks a lot.
Best wishes to others going for their interview.
