Successoke:

Hello please have you been able to get a close date?
Will like to find out if all those agents claiming to have closer dates are legit? Is there anyway scam can occur via scheduling appointments? Sorry for the numerous questions please.

Greattestman:
@Cyingfreeman with your response, I don't know how the vo came to the conclusion that you don't have strong home ties to be granted a visa.She didn't give you the opportunity to express yourself.Maybe she don't just like you Ah hope you didn't dress like one Alhaji from Kano state.

Some things happen because they are meant to happen.They happen to make us stronger, to make us better persons.

re-Apply sharpaly and get your visa approved.

Unless you are not feeling the impact of the Buhari Administration, you can chiken out

May we all be given the GRACE to japa.

Bros have you gotten a date for appointment yet??

For the reply to your question, Let me quote a Graduate Coordinator:

“Ranking compared with other candidates based
on background (GPA, GRE, statement of purpose,
references) and qualifications (work experience,
etc.).”

Hello friends and family I have applied to Miami university and Ohio Wesleyan 2 days ago for undergraduate program. I uploaded few documents but none of this university requested for my Waec certificate and also in the portal where I uploaded documents there was no place specified for me to upload my Waec certificate. I keep wondering if waec certificate is not needed for bsc?

Hi guys,
I am moving to Montclair state Uni NJ nextweek. Please, I need assistance regarding accommodation in the city. Anyone has link to where I stay temporarily for a while before getting a place.

Tallvictor23:


Some schools don’t request waec , but they will definitely ask for high school transcripts , some schools require both , some schools want only waec , some schools only transcripts. That’s how it works for undergrad .

ghettonews:


@Tall victor pls do u know if I can use my waec in place of secondary school transcript for bsc,
I only have official transcripts and as I am no more in Nigeria I can get it anymore. The secondary school I went to is even a small village secondary school. Americans just the make things hard

This is actually a long read o

First of all, I want to start off by saying GOD is Real. HE’s True to HIS Promises.
HE broke the protocols. My Visa interview was sweet… it was a smooth conversation.

On the day of my Interview I was filled with Praise, absolute Praise.
I woke up to pray and all I kept hearing in my Spirit was when Pastor Eno on NSPPD says “How will you shout your shout…how will you dance your dance... “ these words kept resonating in my Spirit; For I have not given you a spirit of fear but of boldness and of sound mind, that HE GOD will fight my battle and I shall hold my Peace… that HIS Presence will go with me… that the Blessings coming my way shall be called Good measure, pressed down, shaken together & running over… at that moment I had an unwavering Faith.

Now into the interview proper.

We lined up in numbers waiting for all the check ins, biometrics and one on one interview session with the V.Os present.

When it got to my turn I didn’t want to be interviewed by window 7 as she had denied a woman and her son for a visiting visa. I wanted window 9.
But I had no choice and moved forward since the security had already asked me to go forward.
I was interviewed by the Beautiful brunette lady with her cute eyes.

V:O Good morning, please pass your passport and I-20
Me: Thank you,
Good morning Ma’am

V:O we will start by you placing your first four left fingers afterward the right four fingers and both thumbs. I was smiling and doing all that and saying thank You Ma’am.

V:O She looked at my ds-160 job roles and asked, where do you work:
Me: Thank You. I work at the Nigerian Red Cross Society Port Harcourt Division as a Project Analyst. Part of my duties include;
Collating data of underrepresented individuals in marginalized communities especially victims of infectious diseases particularly Hepatitis, HIV, Tuberclosis and other enteric forms of diseases.
I’m involved in timely health program report and also the reviewing and monitoring of projects activities carried out in project communities.
My team and I carry out Advocacy visits otherwise known as Supportive Supervisory Visits to underserved communities within Rivers state where we set up point referral systems for these marginalized communities to have access to mapped out health facilities, these target populations are usually victims of communal and ethnic violence, conflicts, flood and fire disasters, Accident and rape victims. We gave out Post and Pre-explosure prophylaxis to individuals who have been exposed or come down with Hepatitis and HIV infections, victims of rape & sex abuse, especially pregnant women to avoid Neonatal transmission. We also gave out RDTs(Rapid Diagnostic Testing kits) & LLIN( Long Lasting Insecticidal Treated Nets) as preventive measures against malaria parasite infections.
I also participated in a sensitisation exercise where we educated the communities on the dangers of female genital circumcision & early girl child marriage & also went on a house to house focus group discussion that talks extensively on measures thats promote the quality of life expectancies.
We also distributed immunisation questionnaires and gave out rehabilitation services and mental health support to victims of rape, accident & fire disasters victims .
*** Mind you while I was saying all these I kept my eyes fixed on her while she looked at me a few times and typed in her system***

V:O: How long have you worked in this company
ME: I have worked as a Project analyst for 3 years now.

V.O: I see you have a GA,
Me: I said YES Ma’am

V.O: who will be covering the deficit,
ME: I said my Uncle by name XYZ***will be covering the rest. Before CSU long Beach released my I-20 they ensured I met all the financial requirements for a graduate program at CSULB for the next 2years. He has been involved in my life for over 22 years since I lost my Dad, he is a Realtor, he has about 65 luxury homes across Lagos state, Rivers & Imo State Nigeria. He has a staff strength of 85 and he’s been into business for the past 8years. He has seen my commitment to work and what I stand to achieve after this masters program as I intend to take up a position in my current place of work as a Public Health Analyst.

See the Miracle here pls;
• I didn’t even add his gross annual income of 400m..
• Then when I was mentioning his company names. I said he has companies like, ABC and this other company I’m not sure if it’s an XYZ or ZYX

V:O Oh okay. Do you have any documents from your company to support your application.
Me: Yes, Ma’am ; I have a study leave here that covers my quarterly emoluments for the next 24 months at Cal State long Beach.

V.O: Okay calmly…. She reached out to pick up the Congratulatory note�� the magic words came forth…
I will be approving your visa. Congratulations.
Please write your school to send you an updated I-20 .. at this point I was not hearing anything o I was just nodding as though I heard�

ME: Thank You so much Ma’am you made my day. Have a beautiful day too�
V.O: You’re welcome�

I left with so much joy.

Guys.. upon opening the door where everyone was seated waiting for their turns.. Omo I ran away o I ran, I didn’t turn my back till I got to the point where we usually take off our belts and other things ..

GOD has truly compensated me.
I’m short of words.
MERCY is Real. GOD does not forsake HIS own o

I want to thank all those who made my Visa experience a Huge Success.
Thanks to Mr Jude O. ‘@Jude Tennesse YouTube’ for all the continued support, for carefully articulating my SOP.

Special Thanks to @Shannon70, ex Visa officer here in Nairaland. He did an amazing job in carrying out mock sessions with me, articulating my responses in a cohesive manner. I got a Resounding YES� I’m truly grateful Sir.

I also watched videos posted by Argo Visa Team; Ben & Mandy on YouTube.

Thanks to all my friends on this journey with me @Osy, @Sunky, @Iytee, @Jethro, @Moshkom whom I only met once with my friend @Sunky and all my support systems here you guys pulled the string together with me.

And to my lovely, selfless, sweet sister @Faithulness❤️❤️� thanks for all the series of continued mocks, relentless support & guess what, the critics also paid off. She literally knew all my responses and yeah we nailed it girl.
I love you always❤️�

I also want to Congratulate myself for not giving up against all odds.

***Truly what GOD cannot do does not exist!!!***

The VO asked me the following:
VO: Where are you going?
Me: I'm going to YZ University
VO: To do what?
Me: To purse a PhD in Environmental engineering
VO: Where is your spouse?
Me: My spouse is studying in the same university
Vo: How long have you been married?
Me: 18months
Vo: why didn't you apply for f2
Me: I didn't have a need for that, I'm going to study
Vo; how long have you been married
Me: same answer, 18months
Vo: why didn't you apply for f2
Me: same answer
He issued me the blue paper
