Nothing is happening until a Jewish temple is built in Jerusalem.

Matthew 24 makes it clear that wars and rumours of war is not a sign of the end times.

Very true, Also the man of sin has to be revealed.
Russia is a tool in the hand of God, when Russian is done fulfilling God purpose, that country will be judged forever in the battlefield, just like God is going to judge America for its sins been the capital and the headquarter of world iniquity.
Nato will be destroyed, the alliance can't survive the test of time anymore, we are indeed in the period of time in which Bible prophecy will be unfold before our very eyes. Let us continue to watch and pray

pretteemee:
thank you. variety is midway jorad. 1 acre of land, 450 bags were harvested.

...450 wow..you broke even already with that figure, I assume that is the total harvest..the pics look more of 1st or second harvest .. share with me your formula, I haven't gotten up to 450 on my acre

Nice one...this looks like darina ..what varietie is this , using 2 drip tape is cool, what is the size of the farm and the number of bags you got

Eugene4good:
No, It is based on the type of Bot type you choosed. That is reason we always recommend GENIUS IA BOT PLAN that cost you one time payment of $100. You pay $50 now because of promo now. The Robot trade for you 3 to 4 times in a day averaging 1.5% to 2% daily for the working days excluding Saturday and Sunday. This gives you 20 to 22 days in a month. Remember earnings in a cannot be uniform. Some days you can make 1.5%. Another day you make 2% based on your capital. Roughly, it will give about 45% in a month for Genius Bot plan

Thanks....but are you not scared of losing your hard earned money

How do you get 45% monthly, I believed this is based on your capital

lilylurv:

Tooksie16:


Sorry about this experience. I think you being unemployed raised the first red flag for the VO coupled with your age.
I think you should apply for a PhD as the chances of full funding are higher and thus the chances of denial due to financial reasons are reduced/eliminated

VISA APPROVED!
F1 (Fall 2021)
Abuja
July 2021
COA: 32K
First attempt
No GA or TA
Lasted not more than 2 minutes
Long post, short transcript


Little background...
It was a battle getting an interview date.
When I first booked, the earliest date was 2 months later than my school's resumption. Had to book anyway and requested for an expedited interview.
This was approved after 2 hours, thankfully.

Even after the Approval, there were no closer dates available. I did an email and got the usual response "...Please be advised that the availability of slots is at the sole discretion of the US Embassy."

God was still working.
After a few days, I checked and saw a date few days after my resumption date. I was happy knowing we're getting somewhere even if we were not there yet.

At this point, I felt I had exhausted all options. I was considering switching to Lagos (thank God I didn't). I didn't lose hope. I was working with faith.

Next thing, I saw someone make a post here in the afternoon about open dates in June ending and first week of July.
I hurriedly logged in to my account. Lo and behold, I could see those dates and quickly rescheduled to a more suitable and earlier date.

Guess what? In the middle of rejoicing and celebrating, I got 3 texts messages in 3 hours from a +1 number tagged 'US Visa Collection' on Truecaller. It read:
Your B1/B2 visa appointment at the US Embassy has been cancelled. Please check your email for more details.
Checked my email and saw the same mail from an address that had a semblance with the official email the Embassy uses for correspondence.

Oh boy! I hurriedly logged in to my dashboard and saw my appointment was still "scheduled". No shaking.

Mind you, I applied for an F1 not B1/B2.
Mischief makers at work.


Next was to prepare for my interview proper.
Through prayers and fasting, I prepared. Reached out to few people to join in prayers and prep. me. I had friends review my transcript and I had several video mock interview sessions.
S/O to Uche, @kemlaughs (for the several zoom mock sessions), Ekong, Mag. for y'alls commitment.

Long story short...
Arrived Abuja few days before to get used to the environment (lodged at Xcence Guest House by Emeka Anyaoku Street, Garki Abuja). 'Twas affordable and #500 away (bolt) from the Embassy and Close to a pharmacy/supermarket and big and affordable restaurant (Ojuelegba).

The big day came... arrived 2 hours before time. Of course I met with the mandem: "Bros staple your passport", "You don print this and that? You go come back meet us oo"... thanks to those that shared their experience and the guidance from Uche and @kemlaughs, I came prepared with necessary documents and didn't pay attention to them.

While waiting, I spoke in tongues, sang songs of praise and worship. It boosted my confidence.
Next we were asked to queue up at the gate, searched by the security then ushered into the Embassy.

After few minutes, those for 7:00am were called up to queue. The Embassy staff arranged our Int'l passport, signed I-20, passport photograph and DS-160 confirmation page accordingly.
Next we went through another round of check (airport standard) before we went to the next part of the building.

There, we queued up and went along with the documents sorted out (int'l passport, signed i-20, passport photograph and DS-160 confirmation page). We went to the interviewing section twice.
First was the final scan/verification of our documents, next was for the interview proper.

In there, it felt like it was judgement day
People rejoicing (I saw a man legit screaming "Jesus loves me" very expressively while the guy walking next to him was really disappointed and sad).
Mixed feelings, tension building up but I had to maintain beauty
Thankfully, the security started singing Obinasom by Mercy Chinwo and I joined in. It boosted my faith in God for a great outcome.

I kept declaring "My case is different".

In my very before, people were approved and denied.
Please, don't lose focus or let any of what you see mess up your psych. Don't even try to profile any VO.
Que sera sera...what will be will be.


Interview proper:
After exchanging pleasantries and biometric verification:
VO: I see you're going to Ohio University.
Me: Yes, that's right.

VO:Why Ohio University?
VO: What is your concentration?
VO: Who will be sponsoring your education?


VO: I will be approving your Visa (while handing me the white paper). And she talked about the covid protocol and all.

It felt like a dream. Had to shake myself to confirm this was real.


I return all the glory to God for doing what only Him could do...for taking the glory.
Big S/O to Uche for encouraging me right from the start in 2018/2019 till date. For reviewing my transcript and guiding me every step of the way. God bless you.
Big S/O to @kemlaughs for preparing me... gave me a lotta tips and prayer points and encouraged me to always stand in front of the mirror. Thanks for the mock-up sessions
S/O to Ekong and Mag.

Remember, the heart of a king (in this case, the VOs) is like the rivers of waters which God directs and He orders them to go whichever way He pleases.

Prepare and pray.
Trust God.
Celebrate grace.
#mytestimony

Guys pls is it possible to use Coopartive SOA to get form I-20 from the school because the statement is enough to cover COA?

Thanks

pebes:
Please look for schools with cheaper COA.

WIU is cheap with a COA of $23k

I have tried but didn't get your mail..I sent you a DM already too

Vahn:
awaiting your reply

Guys pls I quick one..

I got accepted at a community college for an MSC program with a scholarship of 11k and a deficit of 33k pls House what is the chance of being granted a visa

Dm me bro.. got Pittsburgh too

Vahn:
Hello Everyone,

Please i gained admission into the university of Pittsburgh (katz business school), i was told that i have the ability to apply for jobs that can help with tuition and i was sent the link although they said it may be too early to secure an employment for fall. Although i have applied to 4 reasearch assistant roles

I have to pay a $1000, as deposit fee but i cant afford the whole tuition.


Please what can you advise me to do. I have my flight , visa, sevis ,first month rent, and feeding cash only.

Additionally (i have an admission form the Montclair State University i have not been granted my 1-20 yet, neither have i been granted graduate assistantships but they would need a bank statement, but the Major reason why i prefer Pittsburgh is because of the curriculum, its very very indepth and makes a lot of sense when compared to others. Its a Masters in Business Analytics and they have a concentration in Finance.

Ehyah. Don't give up..you can share your transcript for advise for subsequent interview.
