US student F1 Visa finally approved just this morning after two times denials. Glory to God Almighty, thanks to my mentor, my coach and teacher, Gaviria who I met on this platform. The bros help me sha. At a point I was wondering if we still have Nigerians like Gaviria. Bros thanks a lot. May the good Lord bless you richly. I'm very very grateful. So here's my transcript.

Interview was scheduled for 7:45am.

The same guy who did my biometrics was the same person who conducted the interview, I was coincidentally directed to him the second time by the CGI official.

VO: good morning
Me: good morning

VO: Pass your documents pls

Me: I'm going to Boston, Massachusetts, USA. I'm going there for my masters degree at Hult International Business School.
