f8luv87:
sorry,its uni.they requested transcript evaluation and high sch result.I should have gone for community college to save all these stress am going thru.

slimmy05:
You can still change your mind and apply to a community college so that your admission process would be as fast as visa denial as well.

0000A:


Thank you for the response sir.

Actually, I had an interview today, I knew I flunked the second Q which the V.O was magnanimous to take me back to after few other question but I was obviously jittery that I began to laugh at myself on the spot.

Embassy said I could reapply in a week. So, having had the experience, I want to re-apply and get my visa.

Thank you again sir.


And I'm looking at the Lagos office sir.

Bplati:
Yes ma'am if it's within the price I can afford.

EdetMavo:

Walspring:


If you want cheap flight, the best way is to fly from Lagos to New York and from New York to your destination either by flight or train or bus..

Highest you will spend will be less than 1000 usd if i am not wrong.

Emirates, air maroc and Qatar are always cheap, you can try and make use of anyone you get a cheap price from.

sammynwaGod:


try turkish airline. ethihad or Emirates

Ctemi:

Check emirate is cheaper

Walspring:


Lets give the thank to God.


Sorry about your delay and delay is not the end of life, just work on your lapse and refire back.

Kindly post your interview transcript here so that people will help and assist you to correct things and you will enjoy it

V.O: where in the US are you going to?

Me: I told her.

V.O: why the school.

Also, the course curriculim suit my academic expectation and career aspirations bla bla bla

V.O: How many schools did you apply to?

Me: 3 - OAU, Webster abd Univ of Oklahoma

V.O: Why did you apply to these Schools or why did you not go to these schools (I honestly did not hear these question very well).

Me: i muddled everything up here by giving 2 answers to the 2 questions I thought I heard.

V. O: What do you do?

Me: told her

V.O: who's paying

Me: Parents

V.O: what was your first degree in

Me: Told her

V.O: did you do your first degree outside the country?

Me: No, I did it here in Nigeria.

V.O: why international relations?

Me: told her how my career goals of lecturing and being a diplomat align with international relations.

V.O: ok, I am sorry but you do not qualify for visa at the moment, you can reapply again.

Me: smiled, took the blue paper and my documents, turned around and left.
