Ok but why will someone stress himself to get a dollar card and still meet aboki to buy dollar at black market rate and still pay tfare back to bank, stand on the queue to deposit it into your account? Why not use chippercash and rest? agentarcher: |

Won't the bank charge you for the dollar card? Heard you are required to deposit a minimum of 120dollars. 20dollars will be deducted as bank charges while the 100dollars will remain. Rahkman: |

Plz am having difficulty with my BCS form filling. My country can't pop out. Do you know how I can go about this. Thanks Most times you will not know till you pick up your result. The mail I was sent had no indication mine increased (it increased). But there are occasions where they indicate it in the mail. [/quote] |

Yours was okay, mine was disastrous. I had the whole confidence until I approached stand8. The young man was friendly but I was jittering and blabbing. I hated myself because I was below my best. I knew I could have done better. It took me 48hrs to get over a self inflicted mess. Is not a do or die affair but I will try again! Sorry I couldn't post yesterday, I was exhausted to the bone So here it goes : I must say I enjoyed the process so much though tiring from all the queuing. I'm in Ghana, 23 and a student. Straight DENIAL! This whole idea of visiting the US was from my parents. I won't lie I doubted I stood a chance after going through people's experiences but I had already done a lot and was only awaiting my interview day. I was positive all the same because my intentions were good. I thank God all the same . Interview day I woke up around 4 or 4:30am I don't remember because my mum woke me up while I was just trying to enjoy my sleep. So fast forward to 6am when I and parents reached the embassy. First timer, completely lost and confused. I asked a personnel what I had to do before my 7:30 appointment and he told me to hang around a tree where I saw lots of people standing and waiting. I went ahead and stood there for a while till some police officer asked those who had their interview to form a queue. I did go through the checks etc it was already past 7:30 and I was already waiting my turn to be interviewed. I wasn't paying attention to those being interviewed except one pastor who was approved a visa and one university lady who was denied and another guy who was also denied. So after the guy who was denied, I was asked to go to that VO. One chubby guy with beard and in his mid 30's . Honestly he was cool. VO: Hi good morning Me: good morning(cheerfully) how are you? VO: fine thank you (looking at his computer typing) May I have your passport please? Me: sure(smiles) I caughed lightly and said sorry and he said no problem (still typing) he wasn't looking too serious as I said he was cool VO: So why are you going to the US Me: I'd love to spend my long summer break sightseeing and exploring interesting places in the US and also I'll be visiting my uncle VO: typing what I said and even repeating what I said I was smiling (now I know they type our answers for future purposes) Where in the US are you going to? Me: Columbus ,Ohio VO: What do you do? Me: I'm a student of bla bla VO: What course do you offer? Me: I'm a 1st year student pursuing a 4-year degree programme in information technology but I'll be progressing to my 2nd year after the break VO: okay. He nodded still typing. Have you traveled before? Me: No sir. VO: okay. Are you married? Me: I'm very single with a grin VO: looks at me and smiles Okay do you have kids? Me: No sir (smiles) VO: okay. I'm sorry bla bla (y'all know the rest already lol) As he was handing me my passport and the 214b paper I asked wasn't being a student a strong enough tie to return (even though I knew the answer already lol still wanted to know all the same) Surprisingly he suggested another thing for me. Asking if I've heard of the J-1 visa for exchange program to which I nodded and said yes ,that I did plan on applying for that next year and he went ahead to say it'll be the best choice for me as a student and not only would I be able to visit some places in the US but I'll also be able to work (summer work and travel) So I said ok and thank you with a smile and elegantly left the premises to announce the outcome to my mum who was waiting anxiously for some good news. She felt bad but I assured her it's alright and the next time I'll go through with the J-1 visa successfully. So that's it. No docs checked as usual. This forum helped a lot. Kudos to the brains behind it and to those awaiting, all the best. [/quote] 1 Like |
