Depending on the course;PhD programs are well funded than Master's;Also try to write to some profs in your dept of interest, although not compulsory but it goes a long way in getting an admission with tuition waiver. Bond4141: |

Yhasf: MS.c Accounting. Non thesis course. Do I really need to write a prof in the department to get scholarship? I have gotten one admission with little funding though, I’m still thinking of applying to better schools and aiming for better tuition waiver or scholarship but I don’t know how to go about it. |

Hi Guys, I've applied for EA via both email (lagos) and CGI since 24th of November but I haven't gotten a response apart from the acknowledgement email I recieved on the same day. Pls is this normal? Is anyone in the house still expecting the embassy's response since the 24th? Just want to know if I should send another email with same attachments Thanks |

I am not an expert but don't you think having a friend as a guarantor for your hubby is a red flag? I think this would had ended up successfully if your hubby provided much more deficit in his own SOA. I wish you guys all the best in the next interview btw housegirl: |

VISA DENIED - Abuja 9am 02 Aug 2021 Gurus in the house, I really need your advice and help here. Course of Study: MBA School: Suffolk University Fee: 71k Funding: 23k Fellowship Balance: 40kplus First Resumption / Class Start Date: Sept 07 Next Resumption/ Jan 18 2022 VO: Good morning Me: Good morning Sir VO: Fine thank you. Is this your first time of applying for a US VISA? Me: Yes VO: What is your program of study? ME: Master of Business Administration. It's a dual concentration with specialization in general mgt and business analytics VO: Have you ever travelled out of the country before? Me: Yes, I went to South Africa in 2014. VO: What was the purpose of your visit. Vacation? Me: No, It was an official trip. I was recognized by my former company (Bleep bank) for mitigating fraud and went for an award and recognition ceremony VO: Fraud, Nice - So what is your current role where you presently work? ME: I am the Head of Customer Experience VO: Nice: Customer Experience. So who is sponsoring your education? Me: My Father VO: What does he do? ME: He is a real estate investor. Also, work as a contractor on the ongoing Dangote refinery project and owns properties currently on rental income from banks. VO: So, what city is Suffolk University? ME: Boston in boston massachusetts. VO: What year did you say to travelled out of the country again? He was typing fast and guess looking at my form ME: In the year 2014. V0: Brought out the green form. I was really surprised because the interview was quite smooth. Observations: On my DS 160, where it was asked if i had travelled before in the last 5years, I said No. During the interview, the VO asked if i have travelled before - He did not mention 5yrs, so i said YES. This question was repeated twice and my response what yes. Travelled to SA and the rest of the story. I think maybe he felt i was lying. Could this be the reason? I have re-applied and next interview is 08 Dec 2021. On the D-160, I still maintained "NO" as my response and stated that the VO did not clearly explain the reasons for my first rejection. What would you suggest I do differently next week to boost my chances. I am praying to God for a divine encounter. Please share your thoughts. Thank you. My Background: Age - 36yrs work experience : 10yrs Current role: Head, Customer experience Marital status: Married Bsc: Business Admin Grad: 2.1 year of grad: 2009 1 Like |

Things might had come out different for you had it been that you were self sponsoring yourself, i think. Pls remember you are married and 36 yrs old also. I don't know may be i make any sense. Btw, are you going to US alone or with your family? larkson: 1 Like |

What is good school by your standard btw? 3.73 GPA in Naija is around 3.3/4.0 in USA. Thats not a bad grade. Are you going for MSc or Phd? Did you have any research papers? Are you presently working in a field that is closely related to your degree? Why cant you look for school that are waiving GRE for your prospective course of study? Oga, go and work on your SOP and CV and go after what you desire passionately. There is no crime in trying. Edited: i didn't notice that your GPA is already being evaluated by WES. Your GCPA is very good. I wish you all the best. Bond4141: 1 Like |

dydx2020: What will the MBA do for you in your currently place of work ? Example, it’s needed for an head of operations role as your organisation is expanding its operations to another African country or state. Why the career change? You need to look for something short and concise that will make sense and be eloquent about it. 2 Likes |

Please.... If you have been to US Consular in Abuja before... Kindly recommend affordable nearby hotels.. Thanks |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by fairheart(m): 2:52am On Nov 30, 2021 |
larkson: The reason for refusal was not your travel experience. I think the VO was looking at your profile...years in the job, and why you are just going for the Master's. I know the angle I am looking at your case may look weird to you, but as "Head" of that position, 10 years in the job, you are mostly at the steep of your career--in that position. Why now? MBA is a degree people get to get to that steep you are currently occupying. Secondly, you are 36 and your Dad is the sponsor. As "Head" in your current position, the VO probably thought you should have your own money too. That is why I always tell applicants from here that if you have personal funds and you have a sponsor at the same time, state who is sponsoring you and ship in: " I have also saved about $10, 000 over the years and I will use this toward my living expenses." I was not at the interview with you, but I am not convinced you utilize the time you had to give detailed answer to the VO questions. I would be expecting more answers to his questions. You can reapply, but craft strong answers to the potential questions you'd be asked. All the best! 11 Likes |
