Udiboy it will be hard for total strangers to transact with you especially given this huge 'gender' inconsistency. This is not saying that you are fake or a scammer, but you will better off doing business with those who trust you already or clarifying the inconsistency. |

I have been wanting to share my experience; never shared it publicly, perhaps this will be a great avenue to do so. Got my visa in 2007 at the US Lagos Consulate office. All ten people that went before me were denied. Back then when they had speaker microphone...every hears what the conversation was. Lol. One guy threw tantrums after his 3rd denial in anger. They called the security on him; I bet that would be his last US visa adventurism. Lol! I'll do my best to paraphrase the exact VO response. I arrived at approximately 8am, my interview was at 9am. I was barely 18 yrs old...a month shy Interview VO: Good morning young man Me: Good morning ma'am VO: What's your full name? ME: Answered...stammer on my first name like I usually do; took 8 seconds to get it out. I realized she was patiently looking at me as I blocked & stammered with the pain of a mother. VO: Appears that you have a stammer Me: Yes I do VO: My son has it too. Take your time and I'll be patient with you Me: Very appreciative ma'am. VO: What's your date of birth. Me: Told her xxxxxx VO: What university are you going to? Me: California Institute of Technology VO: She paused, look at me and said...that's the best engineering school in the country and probably also in the world. Me: I very much aware that VO: You must be an ingenious since only the likes of Albert Einstein go there Me: Smiled. I guess I must be as smart as Einstein. VO: Grinned. What course are going to be studying? Me: Mechanical engineering as major and minor in Aerospace engineering. VO: Who is your sponsor? Me: I have my Dad's bank statement however I'm under full scholarship for both undergraduate and graduate programs by CALTECH. VO: Can I see your bank statement and proof of scholarship Me: Sure VO: Very unusual to have a student born with a silver spoon riding on a full academic college scholarship to a prestigious school. Me: Smiled. VO: Can I see your tests and scores Me: Gave her my Waec, SAT and Toefl VO: Looked at me again, VO: Talked to her next officer, they both looked at me again. Me: Now I'm wondering...hope all is well VO: I see you have all distinctions, overall best in your class and also have the highest SAT score we have seen here. Me: Thank you ma'am VO: Why did you choose CALTECH? Me: Actually I had applied and accepted on full scholarship to MIT, Georgia Tech and CALTECH. VO: I see but you didn't answer my question Me: Oh, I chose CALTECH simply because I wanted to be close to water/beach, cool weather as I don't like snow and high humidity with respect to Massachusetts and Georgia respectively. VO: Smiled VO: Congratulations, come back at noon to pick up your visa. Wish you all the best! Me: Thank you ma'am That was how I left the country! My advice is...be yourself. One thing I observed with every of my secondary school classmates that left for US was they were all going for engineering. The ones that were going for art, humanities or pure science majors, most were denied. Age is also a factor too...under 25 seem reasonable for undergraduate. Above 25, I would advise you go the graduate route. Another big secret, apply to schools in small towns. This people have in-house algorithm that distributes international students evenly around the schools in US...otherwise you will have 20 people going to Los Angeles or Houston but none to Albuquerque or Provo. I swear if you apply to Albuquerque in the state of New Mexico...I swear, you must get visa. This is a powerful secret I'm giving out here. The reason is that this people want international students in those small towns since most people generally would prefer big cities with prospects. A former consulate officer told me this. 12 Likes 1 Share |

sofadj: To the best of my knowledge. 1) The school would refund your money. 2) The school would give you the bank details, check with your Intl service or bursary 3) cc fizzle. But I think all $$ transactions have been put on hold |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by DareFadi(f): 8:39am On Jun 17, 2016 |
sofadj: In the past d money used to be returned to student in form of a check or cheque but nowaday for fraud and all any excess goes back to the way it was sent....so if it orginiated lets say a nigeria bank account , they send it right back there . So yeah you would need to check with the school directly on their exact policy |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by fizzile(m): 8:46am On Jun 17, 2016 |
sofadj:Let me try to answer your questions: 1. First, you will have to confirm from your account department of your school if they will be able to grant a refund. Secondly, your bank might not allocate the full forex to you. I applied for 12068pounds but I was allocated just roughly 6500pounds. Probably cos of scarcity in forex. The best way is to split it into bits. Bear in mind that from next week,the rate will no longer be 197 for a dollar. If there is influx of forex,u could stand a chance of getting all your payments allocated. 2. Your school should be able to give u the account details. You will take it along with u to d bank,with a photocopy of your certificate,your admission letter,ur id card and ur BVN number. 3. As for the duration,it varies. As I write,am still expecting telex from the bank confirming payment to the school, but I have been debited long ago. U also need to keep in constant touch with ur bank to know the stage at which ur application is. |
