olarich30: at last my VISA was approved yesterday morning and my interview was scheduled for 8;15 am
i was first denied on the 22nd of june 2017 , i applied to full sail university for master's in game design . i just had to sum of courage and i reapplied , it was GOD's favor all the way and my VISA was approved by a young white woman in her thirties i suppose at window 5 .
the VO that interviewed me actually came late , she didn't start with the others that morning . i guess GOD sent her to me ,she was friendly and she also gives applicants enough time to express themselves . she denied a guy going for a business meeting because his spouse in the US already filed an immigrant visa for him and she took her time to explain to him then she granted the next applicants going on a tourist visa (father and son) even when the son had be refused in the past . then it came to my turn
the interview
Vo..... Good morning

Vo....... i see you were refused a visa before , why were you refused a visa the first time ?
me ........ yes i was refused a visa on the 22nd of june but the VO game me no reason but i think it was due to the mistakes i made in my DS160 form , i didn't explain in details what i do at my current place of employment and i also didn't state i have a previous work experience even when i went for NYSC after graduation because i thought it didn't count . i filled everything out in detail in my new application and she just kept on nodding her head .
she just gave me my i20 and sevis receipt back and the white collection paper , she already kept my passport even before the last question .
thanks to everyone in the house for their advice after i was refused 3 weeks ago , God bless you guys abundantly

Hi guys!
I was denied today. First time at the embassey in lagos. I had my bsc in the sciences but I had applied for bachelors in religious studies, as these is in line with my future aspirations.
vo asked me why I chose bsc and not msc, me: my answer was off the question
I became nervous because I had studied all other questions except this shocker. I fombled.
But now I have done the needful and even covered more deeply on other areas.
Please when can I reapply? Semester starts this fall august. |
