So my experience.
Interview date: 8th of June
Time: 6:45

I got there 5:35, then they called 6:30 first then 6:45 next. We went through the whole security checks and all, man I was scared afff but I was over prepared so I kept my cool.
Got in and did the thumb print then queued for the visa. So quickly, people abeg apply to a good school and answer the question they asked you pls. A girl went before me and nailed herself. She did well until she was asked until she was asked to mention the schools she applied to ( iglobal, and 2 other universities that are not that bad) but immediately the VO heard iglobal, the VO asked the girl to mention the schools again, and that was when I knew she nailed herself. The funny thing is she wasn't going to iglobal, but she applied. She was also asked "did you take any exam"? She answered: I tool IELTS, but it was not required!!! I felt bad for the babe sha. So my own proper (in no particular order)

VO: Goodmorning (smiling)
Me: Goodmorning (trying to hide nervousness)
VO: so where are you going?
Me: Morehouse college, Atlanta Georgia
VO: To do what ?
ME: To get my bachelors degree in computer science
VO: how did you get to know about the school?
ME: it was introduced to me by Mrs ********* , who's the advisor at educationUsa, then I learnt more using Collegeboard big future and I used commonapp to apply
VO: Did you use this commonapp to apply to other schools?
ME: Yes, I did apply to 9 other schools
VO: Wow, you (I didn't hear the rest)
ME: Yes I applied to 9 then I mentioned (Davidson college and the rest)
VO: Davidson college? Where?
ME: North Carolina
VO: so why computer science?
ME: I chose to study computer science because I have a strong desire for innovations and would love to have a career in software engineering because virtually every industry in Nigeria today uses a computer, and a degree in this field would give me a career that is marketable in any business environment and with just one degree, I can work in the engineering field, medical field..e.t.c
VO: Good
ME: (smiling)
VO: Who's sponsoring you?
ME: I got $40k in scholarship per academic year and my aunt (VO cuts in)
VO: That's a huge amount of money (smiling)
ME: I was just relaxed at this point
VO: How did you get it?
Me: I took the SAT, TOEFL (cuts in again)
VO: What did you score on the SAT?
ME: I got 1430 on the new SAT
VO: That's a good score
ME: (I was just thinking about how I'll locate the pick up location)
VO: I've approved your visa.....

I heard the rest, but I can't remember rn. That's it broskis!! Thank you all

Congratulations!!! What a nice read. God bless your journey.

VECOH1:
Please what should I write as my mailing address, as shown below

Yes.... Use the normal mailing address you used for your applications. It doesn't count. When you are through with this part, there's another place where you'll have to choose a city and the DHL address pops up.

VECOH1:
Good day everyone, please I need an assistance.
I am about to book for my F1 visa, What should I indicate as my mailing address to pick up returning documents.
Its URGENT.
Thanks

There's a place where you have to indicate either Lagos, PH, Abuja or any other. If you choose Lagos, you'll be given two options, one mainland option and VI. If you choose VI, an address will pop up which is DHL VI address.
If you are talking about the part where you are asked to put in your home address and mailing address, then use whatever address you've been using before.

Ubah1:


July 16th as of today

Thanks. Yeah, I saw it too. But later today saw 27th June. Before I could complete my form to book, it was back to 16th July.
I'm hoping a new date in June comes up this night

Please who has applied for Visa recently? What's the earliest appointment date for new applicants in Lagos?

learner007:
MY STORY IN FULL!!!

On the back of 5 visa denials (admitted into UBC, Canada and visa denied 3times due to insufficient funds, travel history etc plus Cleveland State University - admitted, no GRE, no funding, denied twice last year) I went to the embassy yesterday. Got there about 5:50am for a 7am appointment. After all the checking in, we got on the queue to be interviewed. Windows 1&2 were not available so we sha couple. A VO was speaking Yoruba to aged applicants, it was really funny . Lots of Babcock students were on the queue, all of dem just collecting white paper like kilode Every interviewee had 2 others lined up behind them. The CGI lady sha put me in between 2 queues wen i got to d front. As I tried going to the lady in window 4 in an attempt to avoid a man from interviewing me based on my previous experiences, the lady dragged me back to the guy in window 6. Na so I look up say God Na mercy I need. After he denied the person right in front of me, he beckoned on me. I was like Jesú Klisti ooooooo. Did you mean me or my ancestors Then the long interview started:

VO: Good mrng how are u?
Emi: i'm fine thank you sir and you
VO: Good, pass me your I-20 and passport
Emi: I did
VO: *typed For long and finally asked* what school are u attending in the USA
Emi: University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign IL
VO:What programme
Emi: Masters in teaching of mathematics
VO: what's your highest level of qualification and what year
Emi: BSC Ed maths...2011
VO: So what have you been doing after NYSC
Emi: Working as a maths teacher and tutor
VO: Did you apply to any other school?
Emi: Yes
VO: What are their names
Emi: UT ARLINGTON, YESHIVA, BGSU
VO:HOw many admitted you
Emi: All 4
VO: Why UIUC?
Emi: UIUC was an easy decision for me because they are very good at maths, the maths programme at UIUC is ranked among the top 20 BEST maths programmes in the USA and also I got a full ride
VO: Did u take any tests
Emi; Yes I did GRE AND TOEFL
VO: What are your scores and let me see ur score sheets
Emi: I responded and did as he requested
VO: What are the things expected of you as a TA
Emi: grading papers, leading small group discussions and stuff
VO: Do you have any back up funding plan
Emi: Yes, I have been saving up some cash for my dream since a long time and my mum is a strong backup?
VO: What does she do
Emi: She is into sales and supplies of building materials
VO; Are you married?
Emi: No
VO: Any kids?
Emi: Not at all
Have you traveled outside Nigeria before
Emi: No, I haven't had a reason to travel until now
VO: I will be approving your visa...two things, first pick up at the circled location and secondly, don't travel without your I-20 or else you are gonna find ursef in the next flight to Nigeria
Emi: I smiled, thanked him and left...I heard everything he said

I thought my interview was gonna be short, but no be so. The guy really drilled me, but I was not tensed at all. He had a super friendly ambience around him. I'm sure he picked few questions from previous denials..eg GRE. If you were on this thread last year, you probably read my denial transcripts under my old moniker 'sshola'. After those denials, I sat back and decided to write GRE and TOEFL and then gun for better schools UIUC and UTA. It really paid off big time. I also decided to be a learner, but a smart one like James Bond (007). Hence my name...learner007. I asked very dumb questions on this platform because I planned to ask my way to a visa approval and people really hit at me but I was trying to be cautious this time around, if u no go, u no know. I want to appreciate a lot of people here. For all visa hopefuls, may you find grace in time of need. My dream has finally come through!!!

Paulbets, walspring, Lagosismyhome, Femi321, Bigfrancis, Scholastica etc

My advice:
1. Dont always follow the path of least resistance, when you do the easy things, life becomes hard but when you do the hard things, things become easy

2.WHATEVER U ARE ASPIRING FOR, PURSUE DILIGENTLY AND DON'T GIVE UP....rest if you must, but DONT GIVE UP!!!

Congratulations!!! Well deserved

Bro please I will like to talk with you personally ,how can I contact you abeg?

And my cgpa was 2.71

Hey, look you can get into a masters program even with that CGPA. I was waiting to be done with everything before posting my story.
My undergraduate CGPA was 2.7/5, Geophysics.
2.8/4 - transcript evaluation.
That didn't stop me. I applied for fall 2017 and got back to back rejects. Just an admit from one but couldn't attend due to lack of funds.
I sat for the GRE but my score wasn't stellar either. 295...Quant 151. I didn't mind.
I applied to 9 universities this fall. 4 rejects, 5 admits with some sort of funding in some.
Everything is about packaging and knowing what you want.
Your Statement of Purpose, Recommendation letters, Resume should all be on point. And a drive to succeed on your intended course of study. E.g...if it's Geosciences or CS, what are the computer applications you can use that can make you valuable in that field. What courses have you gotten yourself trained in to make your CV attractive?.
The God factor and several other factors.
I make use of Yocket, Quora and gradcafe a lot.
Especially Yocket because there you'll get school reviews and find and connect with so many Indians with similar profiles or even lesser and you'll also be able to channel your choice of schools according to your profile.
Don't ever think you can't get into grad school with a 2.7 CGPA.
Make the internet and search box engine your friend today.
Good luck.

Hello house,

Please I need evaluation services that are fast in evaluating. I'm really pressed for time, and I was planning on using WES since they claim it only takes seven business days but people have always complained about how long they take and their inefficiency. If anyone can provide the names of NACES members they have used that were fast with evaluation, I would be grateful. I'm applying for undergraduate admission. Thank you.

You can try Evaluation World. They take 5-7 business days to send your evaluation report. However, I used them to evaluate my undergraduate transcript for graduate admissions at $190. I didn't need to contact my undergraduate institution to send a copy to them. I simply sent the student's copy I had via email. You could give them a try.

Good day house.
Please what's the authenticity of this invite?
I couldn't get anything about them online.
And I'm skeptical about them since it's on the mainland.

EFGH:


I fix mine 2 weeks ago for 4k at gionee office Kaduna.

Okay, thanks. Slot even told me 9k sef.
I gats run to Ikeja this fair weather.

Please house, how much is charging port? I was told it is 6k at Ajah. Is it cheaper at Gionee office Ikeja?

TheeRevelation:


Hi Nitta08, Has the charging issue been fixed for you?

Hi TheeRevelation, I didn't go to Gionee service center anymore as there was none close to me at that time. But surprisingly, it has behaved. Though stubborn a couple times. In general, it's charging fine now.

Please what happened to this thread?
Is there any other that discusses marine jobs in Nigeria?

Please guys, is it a red flag during the visa interview if an uncle in the US is my sponsor?

Alright then, the technicians should be able to assist me with this.
Thanks

slamstanlee:
Charging por is bad or ur cord is bad

Okay. ...thanks. I'll visit a service center.

Been using my S plus for a year now and haven't really experienced any major issues except for disappearance of apps and charging ish which just recently started.
First off, for those of us having screen issues, I think it's also best to buy a screen guard for it.. ..like an extra screen. That's what has saved me since cos this phone has fallen a whole lot of times. Only the guard gets affected. No flickering of any such.
I'm also having the charging ish. It started last two weekends when I plugged it in using a car charger. It showed charging but wasn't increasing. I think it happened for about 30 to 45 mins then I unplugged it. After that, things changed. The battery began to drain but a reboot corrected it. However, I've been having issues charging. Could plug it in and it won't charge or will fluctuate for a while and then charge after so many trails.
Please what could be the problem here?

Scholastica16:


It does not. As long as you pay the application fee for both. Admission decisions are made my departments not necessarily the general graduate admissions board. In fact, what the latter do is to see if you meet all the stipulated criteria set by the committee and then they forward the application to the department.

Thank you Scholastica16 for the reply.
Nairaland decided to give me a tough time logging in.

iCool:
Happy New Year my people!

May the New Year bring with it good results, admissions and most especially free money funding...

Amen. .......

Happy New Year my wonderful people.
It's our year of opportunities. We'll all testify this year.

17500 for instant donations while 25k for schedule donation. add on whatsapp for more details. 09033302268

Alright.
Thanks

Hello, please what's the minimum amount to donate?

Compliments of the season everyone. Does applying to two departments in one school affect the admission decision of either departments negatively?

Compliments of the season everyone.
Please does anyone know anything about The Learning Place, Lekki?
I applied for an administrative officer role and have to meet them after the new year's day.
What should I expect and what's their pay like?

seeker88:
To d fall applicants....

If u have an application fee of 50$ to pay, I have 50$ available at 400/$. I was supposed to use it for my application, but later realized that my actual app fee if 55$ and not 50$. Please send me a pm if interested.

Hi, I've sent you an anonymous mail

OGreene:
Mine is 2moro too. Surulere centre.
S and T Reliance. When you get to Masha roundabout/ GTBank side. Walk down the Ogunlana drive. Like 2 mins. Its 2 buildings away from Access Bank on your right.

Thanks dear. Was just thinking of how I'll ask everyone that comes my way tomorrow for directions.

Scholastica16:

Thanks and thanks. Hmmm, if that is the case then I may have to strike them off my list as I may not meet the Dec 15th deadline. However, as is my custom, I mailed the Grad coordinator for the department and this is what I got as feedback:
The deadline to apply for the Fall 2017 semester is January 8th, 2017, unfortunately the Spring deadline has already passed. If interested more for the spring semesters the next deadline for that is August 1st, 2017.
Except he was trying to say "priority" in the place of spring as I did not ask him about a spring deadline. In any case, I'd see if I can rush my application this night but the TOEFL may be a significant handicap as it is unreleased at the moment. If they actually meant December 15th, then I'd have to thank you for saving my $85.

K-state general deadline for fall is 08/01. I contacted the admissions office and that was the info I was given. But then, some departments have different deadlines. Like Geology department, deadline is 01/01 for everything including funding.
