ope4all: Praise Jehovah oooo, I got my visa yesterday around 8.am. Here is the transcript.

Me: good morning
Vo: don't greet me
Me: smiles
Vo: may I have your passport
Me: gave her
Vo: congratulations your visa has been approved.

Hmmmm within just 30sec everything was done I wasn't even asked of my name Talkless of my dox. God is great.

Make una help should 70 Alleluyah ooooooooooo

is this for real?

Joenice: I'm wrong indeed. Look let me tell, it's not only when a gun is pointed at you that you'll know you've been robbed. In football, there are so many ways of robbing an opponent and unfortunately the girls were robbed today. I've been following since I was 5. Why didn't FIFA show replay as usual? This type of situation can lead to fans fighting in the stadium. This is US thread so I will stop here.

lolzz...bro I udastd where u coming frm.

Walspring:

LOL...



Do you play football for real cos of the way you analyse this?

lolzz...sometyms we nigerians tend to b too emotional on issues, most esp wen we r involved n tinz dont go d way we want them to. Yes i do n also watched wif my soccer lens.

Joenice: Sometimes i wonder why Africans are being manipulated. I feel very disappointed and angry. The referee is clearly a racist so she disallowed our goal and deprived us from winning the Cup and also making history. FIFA is just a business agency.

u r wrong..it was a clear offside n besides d officiating was fair enof. If Osheola hadnt put her foot to d ball, it wud av counted.

bigfrancis21:

I don't think that's true, except things have changed recently. Otherwise, you should book a one-way ticket to the US if travelling on a stuent visa since you are not coming back in the next 6 to 12 months I suppose. Almost every F1 student traveling to US books a one-way ticket. Yours should not be an exception.

boss u seem to av forget my mail; still waiting for ur reply.

bigfrancis21:

Yes bro, I'll reply you. Do you know I forgot totally. Soo much things to do and coordinate both here and back home.

i thought as much. i will keep reminding you

Congrats to all those that recently got their visas.

For those of us who are still hoping to get; awaiting our visas, Allah has already delivered it into our hands: that's the substance on which we should pin-down our faith. Approach the embassy with this mindset nd grab ur visa. And for those of you alredy in obamaland, jus as Allah had made a covenant promise to Abraham that his seeds shall possess the land and because u r a product of that seed, u'll possess obamaland n the land shall yield its increase for you. God bless you all.

opechy: I made God my lifeline and he didn't disappoint. My Visa was granted in an interview not up to two minutes this morning at Abuja. No document was requested. It went down thus;

Me: Masters in Applied anthropology

VO: Why did u choose d course?
Me: The course 'll give me the golden opportunity of becoming the first lecturer of applied
anthropology in my undergraduate school where I read sociology. Also, it won't only make me an astute teacher who can teach her students how to read and write but also inculcate in them the application of anthropological methods and theories to human practical problems.

I also appreciate d gurus who had at a point contributed directly/indirectly to my admission process/interview. God bless you all as my joy knows no bound today.

congrats ma'am

calmdown: My VISA was approved at the US Consulate in Lagos this morning. The interview was very swift. I think it lasted for just a minute.

Me - Good morning (with a calm smile)
VO - Morning, How did you get to know about this School?
Me - I researched online and with the help of my mentor
VO - You researched Online? How do you me? What Website??
Me - I went to thegradcafedotcom after my Mentor had told me about the school.
VO - Which other school did you applied To?
Me - University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Stanford University.
VO - Wow! You have graduate assistantship?
Me - (I saw that as an opportunity to praise myself). Sure! In the Value of $34,448. It fully cover my tuition, insurance, fees, and part of my living expenses.
VO - Who is paying the Rest?
Me - My mentor and myself.
VO - Why is your Mentor sponsoring You?
Me - I had straight 'A's in all the courses he taught my class while I was a sophomore. Those courses seem much a had nut to crack for most of my peers. Since then, he has been nurturing me both academically and financially.
VO - I see... Are you married?
Me - Yes, with a Kid!
VO - I have approved your VISA.
Me - Thank You! I am grateful.

The only document he looked at was my GRE scorecard.

Please note: it's all because God allowed it ooo. The same guy that interviewed me denied the first three people he interviewed and like four just before me. He only approved 3 VISA before my turn. I was actually praying he should not be the one to interview me not knowing that God's plan for me is unshakable. I thank God for that! He was the first to open his Window. Overall, I thank God for His mercy.

congrats bro...ds is purely God's favor. Ride on bro

Congrats Olumide098

Wishing my man, Calmdown God's favor at the embassy ijn, amen

Congrats to Juntod...smart dude!
