Rhonah: Where did he say it’s not possible? You can’t read to comprehend? PhD is meant for research, research are mostly funded. It’s not advisable to go to the embassy without funding. 2 Likes |

MY PROPOSED VISA INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT VO: Good morning pass me your i-20 and passport please Me: Good morning. God bless you. How are you? Here you go (pass the document requested) VO: why are you going to the US? Me: I am going to the US to pursue my Master’s degree at Biola University, California with major in Christian Apologetics. VO: Why did you choose the US? Why not UK or Canada? Me: I chose the US because Biola’s Christian apologetics programs at Talbot School of Theology are led by some of the most respected thinkers and scholars in the field like William Lane Craig, Craig Hazen, Sean McDowell. These have debated some highly placed scholars of different worldviews on various platforms and have made brilliant impressions. So it will be a great opportunity for me to learn from these professors. [it was suggested and from the transcripts I have read here that it is better to not give them the cliché that US is good, certificate is valid but rather to talk about the uniqueness of the university as the influencing fact for choosing] VO: How did you hear about Biola University and why choose it? Me: I learned about Biola University from an intensive search for the best schools to study Christian apologetics. In my search, Biola University was top-ranked, it is a dedicated faith-integrated learning institution in the heart of Southern California and its Christian apologetics programs at Talbot School of Theology are led by some of the most respected thinkers and scholars in the field like William Lane Craig, Sean McDowell. They have debated some scholars from other worldviews on various platforms and have made brilliant impressions. So it will be a great opportunity for me to learn from these professors. VO: Why did you choose this course? Why this degree? Why Christian Apologetics? Me: I have chosen this course/pursuing this degree/ Christian Apologetics because my area of ministerial interest and goal is to lecture at the seminary however, a master’s degree is the minimum requirement to stand a chance. So completing this course/degree/Christian apologetics will not only equip me with the analytical framework needed in apologetics research and writing to explore, articulate and explain a faith-based perspective on topics such as evolution, the existence of God, the reliability of the Scripture and the problem of evil to make a case for the Christian faith and belief confidently and with authenticity in the face of contending objections, it would also help me to achieve this ministerial goal. VO: Are you in the orders? How long? Me: yes, I am an ordained priest in the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion serving in the Diocese of *** since June 2019. It is over 2 years now. VO: Where/When did you complete your undergraduate degree? Me: I graduated from ******* College of Theology, *** with a Bachelor of theology first class honor in May 2019. VO: Did you take any standardized test? Me: No I did not. VO: Why? Me: It was optional since English language had been the language of instruction for all my education. VO: How many other schools did you apply to? Me: I applied to one other, Harvard University school of divinity. VO: Have you ever been to the US? Me: No, I have not. VO: Are you married? Me: No, I am not married. VO: What are your plan after graduation? Me: I will return back to Nigeria and take up a lecturing role as an authority in Christian Apologetics at my alma mater, ***** College of theology, ****, where I will use the knowledge, exposure and experience I gather during my study to impact seminarians. I will combine this with my pastoral ministry. VO: You do not have any scholarship, so who is sponsoring you? Me: I have a private scholarship from Mr *** ***, he is my parishioner and the basis for this scholarship is because of my achievement as the best graduating student at my undergraduate degree. VO: What does he do? Me: He is the CEO of **** Limited, his company offers professional services in building and civil engineering works, property development, survey, architecture and general contractor. VO: Do you have his bank statement? Can I see it? Me: Yes, I do and sure you can. Here you go (planning to get a letter of sponsorship from him). @fairheart, Twoods, Lagosismyhome, and other amazing people i humbly ask for your inputs, my interview is scheduled for 28th of May in Abuja. 6 Likes 1 Share |

As he is reading for his WAEC, he should be getting ready for SAT. The SAT exam cam be tricky( you need to learn the tactics). I'll advise, if he's not self-driven with school work; he should get enrolled for SAT tutoring. He will need high scores for a solid Engineering program. After that, he can start learning CAD (Autocad...) online, some schools might require TOEFL/IELTS (proof of English). Just start early and make sure you're doing the right research Honeysweetest: 4 Likes |

Hi, Thanks for all the work you all gurus are doing here. I just got my Sevis today and got some few questions. ot some few questions. - In the order of funding, personal funding is the first and employer funding is the third. Would this pose an issue during interview? Would they require me to show a personal bank statement covering the amount of personal funding on the Sevis? - Also, please is there any way available to pay for Sevis from Nigeria? - can I book a date for interview with this Sevis then pay for Sevis later before the interview? - is there any other thing to look out for on the Sevis? You guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks 1 Like |

osadestiny: I got the date on Monday after the approval of my emergency request. To be eligible for emergency request 1. You need to have a normal regular appointment... In my case, my appointment was for October 8 and my program is meant to start in August. 2. You then file in for an emergency request. You will need your i-20 and sevisfee receipt, and the reason for the request 3. If approved your will then be asked to reschedule your appointment. I hope this info helps. 3 Likes |

RS411: Hello fellow comrade, I am guessing by "I got my sevis today" you are referring to your i-20 or your sevisfee payment coupon. I will go with i-20 because of your enquiries. 1. Whatever funding modes that's listed in your i-20 I think it is the best and wise thing to get a SOA to back it up during your f1 interview. From those who have shared their experiences I think every proof of funding must be shown. So be on the safer side, whatever you have listed on personal funding makes sure to have a personal SOA that will reflect it. 2. Yes you may. In my case, while I was looking for the means to pay my sevisfee, I paid for my visa application then went on to book my regular appointment. If you will need to request for an emergency appointment, you will be needing your sevisfee receipt. 3. I heard that there are people on this platform that help people pay their sevisfee. I had already paid mine before I got to know about this platform and forum. I was charged a huge amount by the agency that helped me. And if you have friends in the US, I heard they can help too. My responses are not exhaustive so get as much counsel as you can get. I wish you well. 5 Likes |
