Transcript VO: Good morning, pass your I-20 Me: Good morning, passes I-20 VO: You’ve been here before, what has changed? Me: The last time I was offered a master’s program with partial funding but presently, I got a fully-funded Ph.D. program with a graduate teaching assistantship. VO: Why are you going to the United States (US)? Or What is the purpose of your trip to the US? Me: I’m going to the US to pursue a doctorate in Chemistry with a specialization in Forensic Science at Florida International University, Miami, Florida. VO: Where are you going? Me: I’m going to Florida International University (FIU) Miami, Florida, for a Ph.D. in Chemistry with a specialization in Forensic Science. VO: How did you come about this school? Me: I got to know about FIU in my search for universities in the US that offer Ph.D. with specialization in Forensics DNA Analysis and Toxicology on the internet. In the course of my search, I came across some professors in the Chemistry and Biochemistry department with expertise in Forensic science, Toxicology, Pharmacology, and Trace evidence analysis as these areas align with my research focus. I reached out to a professor and expressed my interest and willingness to work with him as a prospective graduate student which he accepted, and so I applied, and I was offered admission. VO: Why this school? Me: I chose FIU because the research field of some of the best forensic researchers such as ABC, MNO, XYZ.... aligns with my research interests. As a matter of fact, FIU has one of the largest facilities for forensic and trace evidence analysis in the World. Also, I’ve had a virtual interview with Professor XYZ and he is willing to work with me. VO: Why this program or course? Me: I chose this course because I have been working in a Forensic lab as a DNA analyst. In the course of my work, I discovered some problems, especially with the identification of individuals involved in mass death, genetic-related diseases, paternity disputes, and crime. I recall a case of personnel beheaded in the South and the body required a complete DNA analysis for identification. We could not complete the analysis due to insufficient testing kits (reagents), inadequate equipment, and an incomplete DNA Database to identify and compare the DNA profile upon sequencing. I was motivated by this need and decided on a program that can fill up these gaps. A research program (Ph.D.) in Forensic DNA analysis and Toxicology would provide me with the necessary knowledge and skill to think critically, solve the present problem faced in forensic labs, and create opportunities to train young researchers in this field back home. VO: Why the US? Me: I chose the US because my area of interest being a combination of Forensic DNA analysis and Toxicology is not available in Nigeria at the Ph.D. level. The US has some of the best forensic researchers in the world. Being a country that is advanced in terms of research facilities, I believe I will be able to work with state of the art facilities in the US and develop novel techniques to proffer solution to some of the major Forensic challenges facing Nigeria. VO: What is your study plan? Me: A minimum of 3.0/4.0 scale is required on an average of four (4) years program for my graduation. Prior to the start of the program, I’m expected to pass two (2) proficiency examinations in either Physical/Organic chemistry or Inorganic/Biochemistry. For the Fall semester, I will be offering nine (9) credit hours. Three (3) credit hours in Forensic Biology to be handled by Dr. ABC, three (3) credit hours in Chemical Analysis of Explosives taken by Dr. XYZ and another three (3) credit hours in Pharma/Toxicology of Drugs taken by Dr. 123. Overall, a minimum of seventy-five (75) credit hours inclusive of six (6) credit hours in Thesis is required for graduation in the program. VO: What is your research interest/focus? Me: My research focus is centered, on but not limited to Forensic science and toxicology. I will be focusing on the application of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in the study of degraded DNA for identification, and methods for ultra-trace analysis of xenobiotics (drugs, toxins, pollutants) and their metabolites in humans and the environment. VO: What is your plan after your studies? Or What will this degree/program do for you? Me: Upon completion of my Ph.D. program, I would come back to Nigeria, assume a higher position, and work as a Forensic Specialist with the Government, especially the Nigerian Military to manage the ABC, which is the First Forensic laboratory, and one of the best in Nigeria. I would continue my research on DNA analysis and toxicology to identify, analyze, quantify and proffer solutions to genetic-related issues and toxic substance abuse which is a major problem and on the rise daily in my country. My long-term goal is to set up my forensic laboratory to train young researchers in this field of study back home. VO: Who’s sponsoring your studies? Or I see you have a fully-funded scholarship, so who’s paying for your flight ticket? Me: Florida International University is sponsoring about 99% of my studies, I was given a tuition waiver, living expenses, medical insurance, books, and supplies, however, I would be paying for my flight ticket to and from the US. VO: What is your highest qualification? Me: My highest qualification is a Masters in Molecular Drug Metabolism and Toxicology. VO: What is your background? Or When did you graduate? Me: I bagged a Master’s in Molecular Drug Metabolism and Toxicology with a CGPA of 3.76/4.0 scale from ABC university, in 2014 and my first degree in Biochemistry with a second-class upper from XYZ university, in 2009. VO: What have you been doing after graduation? What do you do presently? Me: I have been working as a DNA Analyst at ABC and 123 since graduation. Presently, I work as a DNA Analyst at 123. VO: Why did you change your job (from Government to Private)? Me: I changed my job from the government to private because I wanted to explore and compare another working environment before starting my Ph.D. so that I can have diverse laboratory experience. VO: Did you take any standardized tests? Me: I didn’t write any standardized test, actually the department waived the test on the grounds of my academic performance and a CGPA of 3.76/4.0 scale. The TOEFL was waived for Nigerians because our language of instruction is English. VO: How many schools did you apply to? Me: Three (3) schools. VO: What do they all have in common? Me: All schools have similar research areas in my field of study, experienced faculty members, well equipped and state of the art facilities. They have a low faculty size (student-faculty ratio), as well as a high faculty interaction which paves the room for increased learning. VO: Have you traveled before? Or have you been to the US before? Me: No, I haven’t had any reasons to travel. VO: Do you have any family in the US? Me: No, actually all of my family are back here in Nigeria. VO: Are you married? Me: No I’m not. VO: Why are you not married? Me: I have a strong desire to complete my Ph.D. then return back to Nigeria to get married. I want my children to be raised in Nigeria because I love my culture and that is what I want them to learn. VO: Have you made travel plans? Me: No, I haven’t made any travel plans. VO: Where will you be staying? Me: I would be staying on campus as I’m in contact with my program advisor and coordinator. They are assisting with getting a space on campus for me. 3 Likes 1 Share |

House please I need advice. A wife is applying for FI masters and adding hubby as F2. Hubby hopes to apply next year for F1 PHD but currently not working. Can he add it's previous work experience as current or just fill Non-Employed, the form will request for reason if Non Employed. They do not intend to travel together just that He can come visiting at other times hence she wants to apply for F2 too. Note she is self funded, no funding. What are their chances of getting the Visa. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Jeffren224: 3:37pm On Aug 04, 2022 |
Yes you can, but make sure you know why you were denied at first and you can start searching for available date which is not so easy for recently denied applicants. Goodluck. |

Starangel123: - This is not bad at all, in my opinion. I just feel you need to brief and hit the nail on its head with your answers. You hardly have time to pour out your responses as the VO would likely cut you interminently. That's why I think you should put your strong foot first in every of your answers. - Your why this course's response is too long Abeg. Leave the unnecessary details out too. Personally, I would advise you take out the beheading story part. The story, to me, sounds more like "argumemtum ad misericordia." More like you indirectly attracting sympathy. You wouldn't want to downsize your country, you know. - For you raising your kids here cos you love your culture, that's a poorly scripted lamba and the VO probably knows it is, already. The US has a growing community of different African cultures, spread all across the country. You could also raise your kids in one of those communities then. Even if you'll go with that story, tell the lie in a more convincing, believable way, at least. - As an aside: What matters really isn't your written transcript. It is more of how well you can articulate those points. Have you been joining mocks? If you haven't, join one today and practice, practice and practice. 1 Like |

ImamOfPeace20: - I may be wrong though, but I think you've tripped from the first question. I think you were simply being asked of your study plans: years of study, how many semesters, credit hours, if your course is research based, field work or practicum and so on. - Then how you would finance your studies is shallow, kind of. Who asked if you had a number of sources? Just go straight into the thing and put your strong foot first, i.e. your father and what he does plus how much he earns annually, then your savings and lastly the loan. Who knows, you might actually be cut before you get to the loan part. Repackage and reshoot, bro. Better luck next time. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I hope again that your saying only a few US Unis offer the concebtration is true. Because if it isn't... ![]() - Since you said you've always wanted to attend a Christian school, I hope the other two schools you applied to are Christian schools too. - Please don't wait until you're asked before you hammer what you father does and how much he makes. I can not find that on your transcript at all. - Practice, practice and let someone critic you like an actual interview. Good luck. 1 Like |
