mayDtolu: Chat this number ( +234 906 757 2955 ) up. I'm on his WhatsApp group , and he has talked about this before. I have never tried him, but I think he is genuine. The number of people in his WhatsApp group chat for mock interview is 800+, and no one has ever complained about him. But, it's not free though. 1 Like |

Hi good morning. Had my visa interview last week Monday in Abuja and I still don’t know why I was denied. Will like you guys to go through and tell me what you think. Transcript First attempt denied. Lamar university Management information system. Abuja, desk 7. Coa: $27k Scholarship: $8k Deficit: $19k One white guy(the first and only guy I could see from where I sat). Vo: signals for my papers and says good morning. I smiled back and said good morning sir. Then he asked me to thumbprint with my left finger and I did. Vo: I can see you are going to the United States. Me: Yes, I am going to the United States to pursue my masters degree in management information system at Lamar university. Vo: Hmmn, Lamar University Me: Yes sir, Lamar. Vo: Why this degree? Me: so I’m going for this course, Management information system because it will equip me with the enterprise system skills such as the customer relationship management, enterprise resources planning, business intelligence skills and these skills are necessary for my career progression because I will be going back to my current place of work which is Bleep company to take up the new role of a corporate strategy manager where I will be building new business model strategies and also adapting the operation of my company to the new enterprise system software. Vo: where do you work Me: I work at Bleep company as a corporate strategy analyst. I have been working for precisely 4 years and 3 months and I earn an annual salary of 4.8 million naira, which is 400,000 naira monthly. I am tasked with the responsibility of using a predictive analytics software, explorium to extract and analyze property sales data so as to identify past trends and patterns in order to forecast properties that will perform better. I run a competitive market analysis so as to identify new business opportunities in order to implement business (I think I stuttered somewhere in between here) optimization for revenue growth. Ps: he didn’t cut me off at all, he let me talk till he moved to the next question Vo: what did you have in your undergraduate; Me: I studied Bleep in Obafemi Awolowo University. I finished in 2018. Vo: I can see you have an $19,000 deficit, how will you be covering it. Me: okay my mother will be covering my deficit, Mrs Bleep, She is the owner of Bleep. And she deals with the wholesales and retail sales of materials like tiles, jacuzzis, Geepee storex tanks, kitchen sinks. She earns an average of 72 million naira annually. She has 3 stores, two in xx and one in xx Lagos. She has a staff strength of 32, majority of which are artisans and labor workers who help in the installation(here I started gesticulating and expressing) of these materials in the residence of clients and also the onloading and offloading of these materials inside trucks. Asides that, she is also the landlady to two houses in xx where she receives an annual rent (maybe I stuttered here a bit) of 6million Naira. Asides that, I have a personal saved up fund of 6million accumulated from my years of working as a corporate staretegy analyst in Bleep company. Then I could see he was taking my passport down, but immediately he brought it up back and said Unfortunately you are not qualified…this blue paper will guide you….. I was in mad shock. To be honest, I can’t particularly tell what went wrong. Yes, I was nervous, but I still said the things I needed to say. I was audible, I was looking straight, but I wasn’t always maintaining an eye contact. At a point, I started settling into the conversation(I was getting confident I wasn’t doing bad). I gesticulated at some points also. I smiled when he the interview began when he smiled at me. I stuttered like twice but I kept on going. It is just what it is. |

Also guys, if you are going back with the same profile(same school and same funding) for the same admission session also, how do you navigate the question “so what has changed?” I know people that have scaled through it but some of them did not even get asked. I don’t want to leave that to chances and then get stucked or start giving boring answers. Is there anyone with experience at this? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by barbiegirl4luv(f): 9:16am On Oct 25, 2023 |

Please does anyone have an idea of the average time between requesting an appt for an F1 visa interview and getting a response. Just looking to know when I might get a response from them. Interview request was submitted on Monday. Thanks in advance for your response |

You can qualify for $35,000 to $40,000 when you apply on time. Over 46 US universities and colleges in Georgia and Kansas state respectively, will be waiving their application fee starting from November, make sure you apply on time. Don't miss this opportunity if you are going for bachelors degree also. Watch the video to know more - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGhI6JFWMNE&t=93s |

Nope, I disagree. There’s no formula to these things. For me, I think the university is off. Lamar University in rural city of beaumont? One of the lowest ranking universities that even people in that region have it as a second option. Some US universities are no go. OP I think you should try another better qualifying university. Also your finances are poor. Still depend on your mum despite your well established career. I don’t think any VO will be convinced that you wan to return to Nigeria to work, when you could only save 6m all through your work years since 2018. In their head, this guy won’t see good $$$ paying job after graduation to return to Naija and get less. So coupled with the university & finance, it seems like you truly want to japa. Asides that, I think the whole thing of going back to Nigeria is beginning to cast. If you will use it, pls make sure to prove to them that the job or business you will be coming back to, will give you back x2 returns of what you spent for your education in the US.

Mobil567: The finance aspect is very ok. COA is low. Mom. Scholarship. He has been working since 2018, so he won't feed, paid bills out of his salaries abi ?? So he will have more than 6million naira in his account cos he has been working since 2018, in a country where poverty rate is high, and minimum wage is 30,000 naira. That's a red flag already to any VO cos they know the country situation. Using the mom as the major sponsor is OK, not an uncle or aunt here. Also, using different external funding source give room for more scrutiny and questions. Lamar University could be the red flag, or the way he answered those questions or vo is not his right mood. Remember, VO only need to know one's study intent and funding source |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Mobil567: 8:28pm On Oct 25, 2023 |
Guy saving a total of 6m (out of 4.8m annually) since the last 5 years as a single person is very low. And in reference to your minimum wage reference- Why then would the VO believe he would return to Nigeria to continue on that low financial range, when he can easily stay in US and earn way more? Let’s be realistic sometimes Doyin400l: |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by 1stGenAmerican(f): 8:36pm On Oct 25, 2023 |
Fammm: The school isn’t part of the problem, the cost of attendance, deficit of $19,000, lack of funding, and lack of a strong sponsor is. He says his mother has revenue of 72 million naira a year plus a large amount of employees—after operating costs and payroll, his deficit will cut her net profits almost in half. You’re telling him to choose a higher ranking school which will cost higher and cause him to have a bigger deficit. Beaumont, Texas isn’t a rural city, it’s an oil, gas, and chemical hub with several large refineries, has over 120,000 people, and is about an hour outside of Houston. I don’t know where you got your information but Lamar isn’t low ranking, it’s actually considered a good university and boasts over 8,000 students. Lamar is known for its MIS, nursing, and mechanical engineering programs. Native Texans with money wouldn’t hesitate to send their offspring there neither would Nigerians living in Houston, Dallas, and neighboring states yet you’re talking like it’s subpar. Here’s pictures of the city you call rural and the university you call low ranking: 5 Likes

Thanks for showing me a city which is a second residence. However, I am not sure the purpose of the photos like there’s barely any less developed city or university in the US? Photos do not always equal to efficiency. As I said, there are way better universities than Lamar. 1stGenAmerican: |

BigIyanga: Same thing I’d like to know, especially since Lamar known for its MIS program which is the same program that the applicant was entering. The university’s rankings that I’m viewing don’t correlate to what he’s saying. Maybe he means more expensive unis, something that’ll create an even bigger deficit and increase his chances of being denied a visa. 2 Likes |

1stGenAmerican:More expensive does NOT mean better chances of getting a visa. You’re right, bigger deficit means wider odds of getting approved. 2 Likes |
