Visa approved today in Abuja. 9am appointment. There was this black woman who was taking the interview like project defence. Someone said he was going to study information technology, she said he should explain the mechanism of the Internet. Oga come fall hand. She now aske him what he studied, Oga said Political Science, she said 'oh really, i studied political science". LMAO! <insert mortal kombat "Finish Him!">, who is your favorite political science author. Oga say na Aristotle. Lmho!

I missed her being interviewed by her by the whiskers. Thank God for everything, for my interview. It had to be God. I wasn't asked many questions.

Me: Good afternoon
Him: hey good afternoon, pass your documents
(Passes docs)

Him: I see you are going for studies, which course are you going for?
Me: Electrical Engineering
Him: where will you be studying?
Me: Howard University in Washington DC.
Him: why Howard?
Me: HU is research intensive and it caters to my area of interest Power Systems and Control
Him: is that what you did in your undergraduate study?
Me: yes
Him: where?
Me: calls my Nigerian undergraduate uni
Him: did you take GRE?
Me: hands over the test scores
Him: wow. Good.
Him: I see you've been to the US
Me: yes, was there for Christmas last year.
Him: yay! Good for you. Merry Christmas ( in my mind I was asking what's doing this man, biko)
Him: do you have financial aid?
Me: Yes. 35grand from my school
Him: who pays the rest of the 10 grand?
Me: I have some savings and my dad.
Him : what does your dad do?
Me: lists Father's occupation
Him: nice! good for your dad.
Types for 5minutes and I started praying in tongues quietly and asking in my mind what kind of essay is this man typing.
Your visa has been approved. Hands me collection form and Starts I-20 and POE lecture. End!

If you are going there , compose yourself and please pray, biko pray. Its not of him that willeth. I had some discrepancies in mY name, and in bank statement. I asked God to biko cover my errors, let them not ask me for any document. He did! Glory to God!

You getting it wrong because nothing to improve on that which you called game, you thought is a game SMH..

It shows that you dont know them at all because most of them didnt and never wish to study theology(you can research on that) but found themselves in that area although they were all doing well in their previous choice of career.

innovativeame:

No charges oooo. The thing is, they sell for 214 and buy for 198. I used my master card two days ago, I paid $45 and guess how much was deducted in Naira? #9674.83! I felt like the whole world was upon me. Every coin counts for me right now. If I see one kobo for road, I can pick it up . Now, whosoever is paying into your account as in ur case, they use their buying rate. I love GTB for Internet banking but their exchange rate is dubious, the margin is wide.

Moana:
when a person furthers their studies abroad they are believed to have gained more knowledge, it attracts more people to them.

Its common knowledge that a person with a degree from a first world country will always be first preference over someone with a local degree.

Any exchange avenue?

Moana:
Pastor Adeboye and Rev Run have made lots of money from theology. If your strategise properly your business will prosper.

Make una Ondo people get a room abeg...don't derail our thread o

technolee:
None yet my man. How are you feeling now?

mhoo:
I just stumbled on this thread ystday (a day to my interview) n considering d fact that going through ppplez interview experiences helped calm my nerves a bit + NL has helped my previous struggles a lot, I decided to share my experience...

I was scheduled for 6:30am put I didn't arrive until past 7 ('cause of the accident on 3rd MLB)... I found favour n those verification guys dint really hassle me about my lateness.

VO (Fine dude): Good morning
ME: Good morning
(Passed him passport, ds160 confirmation n I-20)
VO: Why are you going to the US
ME: For my Masters

VO: What Subject?
ME: Religious Studies

VO: What did you study for undergrad?
ME: Same thing, Religious Studies

VO: When did you finish from Uni
ME: (erroneously said Jan 2010, then I corrected myself) Jan 2011

VO: What have you been doing since then?
ME: Did my NYSC and been working in a bank since 2013

VO: What do you want to do with your Masters?
ME: It is a bridge to where I'm going to (told him my actual career destination) which explains my concentration - Religion & Public engagement
(Then he types to about 1min n I'm busy praying for favour in my mind)

VO (Flips through my passport): Have you ever traveled outside Nigeria?
ME: Yes

VO: Where?
ME: Benin Republic n Liberia (then I'm thinking "hmmmm, is this the time to be louding that you have been to Liberia?"

VO: What did you go and do in Liberia?
ME: Went to witness the swearing in of President Sirleaf for 2nd term as part of an entourage for the state government I was working with then (during NYSC).
(Then the dude did plenty typing again o n i did my own silent prayer too)

VO: Are you married?
ME: No (I had initially planned to borrow my sister's engagement ring n complete this answer with I'm engaged to be married o... but I decided to be a proud omo Jesu n flaunt my single status)

VO: Got any kids?
ME: No
(Plenty typing followed again...then the musical, golden statement)

VO: Your Visa has been approved, you can pick up your passport at the circled location within a week (Passes me collection slip and my I-20)
ME: Thank you, Have a nice day!

I hope this helps calm someone's nerves! All the statements n letters I carried remained in my clear bag - not a mention of how I was gonna finance my education. Although I got a full tuition scholarship, I was still pretty freaked out about any issue being raised about my finances.

Goodluck and God's favour to all those coming behind!
(Forgive all typos... I refuse to proofread this my epistle)

Walspring:

bbdd:


Is Rev run a theologian? Is Adeboye an American?
People in the US are telling you job prospects you're using a celebrity pastor and Nigerian pastor as comparison.
