Arrived early, just to get myself acquainted with the environment. Did all the documentation and stuffs. And it was time for the interview.

I was so reluctant to when the VO called for next, and I was asked to go there, (she denied the last 2 applicants)...I almost went for the other window that jus got opened...Anyways sha I proceeded. Did my Biometrics and stuffs. The interview was as follows

Me: Good morning ma'am
VO: Good morning, pass me your documents.
I passed her everything....i20, sevis, passport etc.

VO: oooh, you're going for a Master's in this Construction Engineering and Management, that's nice.

Me: yes, that's correct.

*she stares at the I20, starts typing....

VO: what will you do after you complete the program

Me: where I work at the moment, **** Construction. The Research and Development department has just been opened, I interviewed for a position in the department and I was recommended, all that is left is to get the minimum requirements of an msc. The position triples my current pay. In the long term, I plan to start my own construction firm, where I will focus majorly on "Digital Construction".

She stopped typing and started at me, saying,

VO; What is Digital Construction?.

In my mind I was like, yes, I don get am

Me: Digital Construction is an application of the emerging trends in technology to Construction. Emerging trends includes Internet of Things, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, etc. Its very rare in Africa and I want to be one of its pioneers over here.

She continues typing for a while....

VO; who is your sponsor

Me; mentions the name

VO; yes, so??

Me; He is my uncle

She looked like She wanted more information and I picked it, so I continued talking

Me; He has been an ever present figure in my life, he actually sponsored my first degree. In my 3rd year as an undergraduate, he told me, "if you can graduate with a first class, I will sponsor your international masters", and here we are.

VO; when did you complete your Bachelors Degree

Me: 2016 ma

VO: how long have you worked at **** construction. (Almost like she wanted to confirm the information on the DS160)

Me; this is my fourth year, I have been there since the beginning of year 2018

Vo; nods her head and continues typing for a while, then she asked what does your sponsor do

Me; He is into large scale mechanised cocoa farming. He exports cocoa from Nigeria to Cameroon and Benin republic.

She nods her head and picked up the white paper....all the things wey she talk after, na she know o....lol.


Thanks to everyone on the platform, I learnt a lot, in all honesty. Although I haven't been long on this portal, but I took time to read a lot from the previous pages and I really learnt. God bless you all.

My advice; If you can get a relevant working experience to your intended study plan, it's a big plus.

See you all at the top.

My I-20 does not carry the original name of my course. I had to input it as it appeared on my I-20 into my DS-160. Should I have stated the main name of the course on the DS-160 or stick to what's on my I-20?
