You don't need your school transcript at the embassy for any reason. No vo will ask to see your transcript for any reason. Once you've secured admission they expect the school in US that gave you the admission to have ascertained that you truly graduated from where you claim, and with the required grades for admission...
At best the vo will ask what school you finished from, what year, and what you've been doing since graduation... The bolded is not true, the V.O can ask to see you academic transcripts. I was asked in 2010, many other folks here were asked too. |

Sorbital:
Oga abeg look into my matter na Drop your full transcript bro... I don't think its because the schools are located in the same state. Though, choosing two schools in similar state can make the VO smell something BUT I think you didn't give a GOOD reason why you choose the school..The 4 schools Angel34real choose are all in TEXAS and she still got her visa And so many goons here, despite applying to schools in same state, still got their visas. Maybe the VO wasn't in good mood tho OR it wasn't your day.
My advice: Try get another date and face the VO again, you might be lucky to meet a nicer one who wouldn't even ask for names & location of schools you choose. You can defer if no earlier date is found..But I'm very sure you'll get it next time.... 2 Likes |

Me: Good morning... With genuine smile and confidence
Vo: good morning... Your four left fingers on the scanner for verification
Me: places four fingers....here we go
Vo: pass your document please
Me: passes them
Vo: you are going to study
Me: yes, to pursue my Masters degree in Chemistry with interest areas in Air monitoring and electronic cigarette
Vo: why the degree
Me: so that I would be exposed with the various skills and techniques required to monitor the quality of both ambient and in door air, that way, I will be very knowledgeable about the extent of the pollutant that we are all exposed to...Above all, this masters degree would guarantee my appointment as a lecturer in the school where I obtained my BSc.
VO: looking in awe
Me: waited for him to ask question concerning the job guarantee but he didn't
vo: when did you finish your first degree
Me: 2011
VO: what have you been doing since then
Me: Have been working in ................
Vo: How many schools did you apply to
Me: Four
VO: what are they
Me: TSU, MTSU, KFUPM and UW
VO: why the preference in MTSU
Me: Aside the fact that the Chemistry department is highly ranked I went thru their curriculum and discovered that the syllabus Covers most areas of Chemistry that interests me, but then, I was able to make contact with prof......... Who incidentally would be kick starting an air monitoring project on biogenic.....
vO: interrupted
How did you find about the school: actual, I cataloged using Princetonreview.com, grad sch.com and then search for chemistry journals in US, I thereafter streamline my search into schools that offer Masters degree in Chemistry with interest areas in Air monitoring, I ended up with few schools.
Vo: So why TSU and MTSU in the same state.
Me: After my review using Princeton review and graduate sch.com, it was a mere coincidence that the two schools who happen to fall into my scope are in the same state..
Vo: He browses to know how graduate schools are ranked...bla bla black
Vo: but the so so so and so sch ranks highly in Chemistry why didn't you chose them.
Me: I streamline my search into schools that have interest areas in air monitoring not just on General chemistry...
Vo: researches the internet; yeah I understand that your interest area is in air monitoring but you still have not told me why from other highly ranked schools, you concentrated on three schools in the same area.
Me: Actually it was two schools, the other two schools are not located in TN
Me: by this time, confidence don dey low
VO: you just tell me why your interest is in TN and that's just it.
Me: I insisted on my previous reason.
Vo: brought the blue form and passport and said what I didn't hear.
Me: I collected it but refused to go.
We were looking at each other eye ball to eye ball, I almost cried... I saw pity in his eyes yet I was praying for 12hour miracle...it didn't just happen. The security guy just came and convinced me out
That's my story..
My school resumes on 30th, wanna book another appointment... Don't wanna lose my GA..

ikuyinminu: So.. here is my transcript.. Very annoying and it got me down for awhile.
I was shivering the night before the day of the interview, I think it has more to do with the interview than the catarrh I got from kissing Bae. Momsy called the night to go buy Actifed *as if I go fit sleep o, for where I wake up for night still rehearsing*
It was a very breezy morning.. my uncle dropped me at the Lagos embassy with 'i don't like this people, u can't come here and achieve what you want, they always looking for what is not lost, see Banji.. I wish you the best'
After much screening.. I was called to window 1 *chinese-american guy* Dude has been dishing out blue forms since 19kiridum
Me: *smiles* Good morning Vo: Morning, please place your right fingers on the biometric machine Me: *placing my right/left with all smiles* Vo: Pass me your documents? Me: *Alaye just dey bone, I sha pass the papers* Vo: why are you going to the U.S Me: I am going to study for masters in information technology Vo: what school? Me: Minnesota State Uni Mankato Vo: typing fast * why Minnesota? Me: The school has a course outline program for tthe department that goes inline with my career path and my present job detail Vo: Is that what you studied in Undergraduate? Me: Yes.. I studied B.Eng ICT Vo: ICT? Me: Yes.. Information Communication Technology Vo: what year did you finish? Me: June 2012 Vo: Are you married? Me: No Vo: Kids? Me: No Vo: Have you travelled before? Me: No, I have not had any opportunity to travel since work has been keeping me busy. Vo: Did you write any standard test? Me: Yes.. I did Vo: Can I see the results? Me: *looks for the result of both toefl and gre, and showed him through the glass* Vo: I can't see it from here, can you pass it underneath Me: *passes it* Vo: where did you print this from? How many schhols did you apply to? Me: I printed from the result portal, I applied to 2 other schools. Vo: which and did they admit you? Me: Uni Virginia Charlottesville and Uni Kentucky Bowling green.. yes they admitted me Vo: *looking at me* YOUR SCORES ARE LOW? How come Me: I guess the test is not a criteria for admission Vo: who will pay for your fees Me: my dad Vo: *typing fast* what does he do Me: he is an electrical engineer with NNPC Vo: what's NNPC Me: Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Vo: *types scantily* errmm Unfortunately. .. bla bla bla Me: *feeling dizzy already* please what are your reasons? Vo: you will see it in the blue form I am giving to you.
Well.. I scored 282.5 GRE and 76 TOEFL. I am Cisco Associate certified Network Engineer
Thanks guys for your continued support. I won't relent. I spoke with a friend that just left.. he said he didn't write any test and they never asked. Dunno where I got it wrong. But I am grateful to God first and everyone that support one way or the other.
We don return back to work!

However, it is wrong to say that you don't need your transcript for any reason at the embassy or that the V.O has no reason to ask for it.

meritdee: Here's my funny transcript....
Mind you, I'm holding a conditional admission which has 36months course completion on its I-20. Morgan State University plays too much aswear.
So after every screening and all, I was called to window 2 by one pretty chic (I noticed she's been frowning all morning tho)
Me: Good morning ma'am (with a forced wizardry smile) VO: *frowns* can I have ur documents pls? Me: *I be like 'what I do na?'* Gave em to her
VO: Can u pls place ur four fingers on the (didn't hear her but I knew she was talking about the fingerprint scanner) pls? Me: Placed four fingers on scanner and was staring at her... I knew she was done, but I didn't remove dem fingers until she said I should remove them.
VO: Where are you going in US? Me: Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland.
VO: How long is your course of study? Me: (for my mind, I be like 'beht why?' this girl no dey see komot eye?) 36 months
VO: What course? Me: MS in Project Management
VO: Who will be sponsoring you? Me: My uncle
VO: What does he do? Me: He's contracted to Ekiti State and Ondo State Government and he's into real Estate. He buys, sells and develops prop.. *Cuts
VO: Did you write any test? Me: Yes I did
VO: Which one (with strong face) Me: (Me sef give am ogbeni, calm down face) GRE
VO: Can I see it? Me: (She just owned me at this stage cuz I was looking for the LovePeddler print out that was making out with one of my documents) Sorry ma, gimme a min
VO: LET ME SEE THE PRINT OUT! (I guess y'all understands why I used the caps here) Me: found it and gave it to her. (Her mind come down)
VO: okay good, Why this school? Me: Out of the schools that offered me admission, MSU is the only school that has its school of management accredited by Association to Advanced Collegiate Schools of Business. While also going through the graduate research works, I came across an ongoing research by professor Ali Emdad that centers on Addressing Enterprise and Vendor issues in Data Center Infrastructure Management which is inline with my work. I contact... *cuts me*
VO: Where do you work? Me: I said Airtel NG, but was transferred there by one of their contracted outsourcing and facility managem...*cuts* (I for just use vendor easily)
VO: When did you Graduate? Me: Dec 2010
VO: What did you study as undergraduate? Me: Pure and Applied Physics
VO: What do you do? Me: I work..... (she was staring at me straight in the eye now) so I continued and told her, I work as a Data Center support and Analyst.
VO: Dancing center what? Me: (For my mind, I be like... Dancing Salsa ni) Data Center support and Analyst
I though I already owned her here until she asked the question that killed me...
VO: What class would you be taking? Me: Project management class with focus on Information technology management. Listed 2 courses in this class *cuts*
VO: Unfortunately........................................ I no hear the rest Me: (With confidence level now below 10%) I just said the thank you and my crush on her died on the spot.
I don't know, but I think as a conditional admission student, I should have told her the 9 credit courses that would have qualified me for the major course instead of the major ones.
Thanks to Juntod, Innovativeame, Bigfrancis21, Slimmy and many others here that assisted in one way or the day and sorry for disappointing you guys.
Make I go clear my ish with my HR first, me that was thinking that I'd drop my resignation letter this week ehn.
I'm down but not out. Goodluck to others
In my opinion, I think the VO woke up on the wrong side of the bed cos apparently she wasn't happy while she was conducting the interview session. I'm also wondering if the bolded parts are related in one way or the other. Often times (my inference from people's transcripts right here), the VOs like it when your undergraduate course as well as your work are related to your intended graduate course. |

I like this bro!. You've shown him atleast the lapses & given him the best advice,.Sorbital will get it on his Next Attempt, I'm very sure of that...Your head is valid |

Sorbital:
You really should see me cos I refused to leave the booth... I felt I truly deserve the visa...think I created small scene sha... That may have made you seem desperate...
