I have done the servis fees registration with the print out at hand but can't make a quick pay transaction through western union. Please i need your help here I have been running from one bank to another but all to no avail. I will appreciate if a brother or sister here can help me. As i have no time left. I also need somebody to guide me on the ds-160 form and bookoing of visa appointment as i have paid for my Visa fee as well. Thank you as i need reply ASAP. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by Observant: 6:53pm On Jul 21, 2016 |
Wow i really don’t know how to feel right now. Here is my story, I applied to study in Canada late 2014, my application was refused for insufficient funds for tuition and living expenses even though I paid first semester of my tuition (7000) and my sponsor had over 25M in her account I reapplied again but it was refused for insufficient funds for tuition and personal assets, I realized the embassy wanted to see my own fund so Included my fixed deposits, my own statements and stock portfolio, paid off the entire tuition of 27,500 and applied the third time but the embassy did a full 180 reverse and refused my application for "your purpose of visit and length of stay". I was very sad and infuriated that the visa officers there are just playing games with me. I so much wanted to study in Canada as my older brother and friends are all there but i knew it was time to look elsewhere for my graduate studies. I was going to apply to Australia, which was my second option, but my entire family discouraged me and gave me zero moral support. They said Australia is far and out of the way so they won't be able to visit. They suggested applying to US. Well i have always seen US as the big brother to Canada, so if Canada could do that to me i didn’t expect to stand a chance with the US. I decided to process both countries Australia and US simultaneously; i contracted a renowned education agency that frustrated my life for months all in the name of processing my application. I have had to postpone my admission more than twice and last week after much quarrel, i received my i20 from them. i asked them when my application would be finished off, they said I should print another statement and they provided a list of another fresh documents different from the ones i already gave them. I decided to conclude my application myself and ignore them. I reviewed my ds-160 form, booked an appointment for today and submitted it. As early as 6:50, i received an email from the school i applied to in Australia; it was an admission offer from the CQU Australia. (Of all mornings na this morning wey i dey go interview wey una go send am? well i took it as sign of better things to come). I took a shower, ate better rice and plantain, went over my documents and left home around 11:30 for my interview schedule for 2:15. I went through all the security process, when i got into the interview hall, o boy i was dazed to see people being interviewed openly. My moral dropped to -100%, my legs could not carry me any longer. I am naturally a shy and introverted person so being interview openly was the least i expected. One guy was being serious investigated, I’m not sure what the guy did but his passport was taken inside and he was left standing at the booth for over 15mins. Well here goes the transcript Me: Good day Sir VO: Good Afternoon. VO: Who is XXXXXX? Me: XXXXXXX is my oldest sibling VO: Why did you choose SNHU ME: (With so much studding and choking) The Program MS Information Technology at SNHU lay emphasis on bridging the gap between communication, technology and business solution. It has three majors, Network security, Database management and Web design. I am interested in the Network security Major. (Trust me this didn't come out as you have read it, i could barely understand myself while i was saying it) VO: Which Other school did you apply to? Me: I applied to Valparaiso and WKU Western Kentucky University VO: What does XXXXXXX do for a living? Me: XXXXXX is an assistant bank manager at YYYYYYbank VO: What do you do? ME: I work at BBBBBBBBBBhotel as an IT administrator. VO: Where is BBBBBBBB LOCATED? Me: Lekki phase one VO: Do you have family in US ME: NO VO: Do you have relatives in US ME: NO VO: Do you have friends in US (by now he has dropped my passport in a tray beside him and brought out a white paper.) Me: No, oh Yes i do (V.O pauses and holds back the white paper), i explained further " it’s a childhood friend who left when we were still in secondary school). VO: In which state does he live? Me: Texas (V.O give me the white paper) VO: Your Visa has been approved pick up your passport in 3 days’ time. Till now i am still dazed and in disbelieve, there was nothing spectacular about what i said adding to the fact that i choked severally while saying it. The VO was virtually not interested in what i had to say as he was looking at his computer screen and typing 90% of the interview duration. Finally I will be giving up my Australian dream to embrace what the LORD has done. I am not the most prayerful, sinless or holy, but what i happened to me today was clearly a divine intervention. I called my mother to tell her and she is already crying saying "So you are going to staying in that country alone" (She would have preferred Canada so I will be close to my brother) I am the last child of my family, everyone’s favorite at home and i am very hard working too. To everyone out there, i think there is a little bit of faith in everything we do, sometimes we can't fight faith. Your faith may be somewhere else while you look in another, but must importantly don't give up. Please house, i will be needing contact of anyone already in Southern New Hampshire University for further enquiries. God bless you all and thank you for your contributions so far. One love 23 Likes |

Posting this transcript on behalf of my aunt (not on NL) to give back and replenish the thread for prospective applicants to learn. Profile: HND, Msc, Works in a bank, been to the US before, applied to Lone Star College, Kingwood, Houston Texas, Nursing. Visa Type: F1 and F2 (for my 12 year old son) Interview Time: 6:30am Visa approved at Lagos. V.O: Gudmorning Me : Good Morning My Son: How are you today? V.O: Oh am good and you? My Son: Am very fine. V.O: Can I have your passport? Me: Passport passed to him? V.O: Your 1-20 please? Me: 1-20 Passed to him. V.O: Why this Course and tell me more about it? Me: My dream job had always been a job where I can save lives. The flair for it got increased when I started living with my foster parents who now happened to be a nurse. However, I couldn’t secure admission to study Nursing as at that time but the urge never left me. The urge became more stronger some years back when I lost a close family member to diabetis due to ignorance and at that time I had wished I was a Nurse. She wouldn’t have died. I further discussed this with my husband who supported my idea and decided we start planning for this to come to reality. In this vein, we agreed to invest into health care for the use of the people. V.O: Why this School? Me: I had an opportunity to visit this School during my last visit to the US and discussed extensively with the International Student Advisor. V.O: Okay that’s fine. Excuse me for a minute He left with the 1-20 (Come see prayers o). He came back and faced his system, after some minutes the next I heard was go to Victoria Island and pick your visas. I bless the name of the Lord. 7 Likes |

Observant: You can still look into the Canadian Express Entry System and see if you have the points and put in the application now ....so by the time u are graduating you have two options and can move closer to your brother if u want I guess d only thing is d annoying application fees since ur focus is on ur fees first. ...but if u can do it cool .

fmsuhgar:there isnt really much difference between the two, besides the fact the international graduate application fee is to be paid by international applicants which often times is more than the normal graduate application fee. for instance the gradaute application fee for kansas state university is $65 while the international gradaute application fee is $75 |

I need your advice pls. I was recently denied visa at the Abuja Embassy under the 214(b). We had barely started the interview, after she asked how many Universities I applied to and what course, I was expecting why the course then she asked who's sponsoring you and what does the person do, I was staggered off as it wasn't the next question in my subconscious. Anyways I stuttered, and she was brought out a pink-red letter. To Present day... I'm filling out a new D-160 form having been offered admission to another school with GA offer. Please guys how do I go on with this and not rupture my chances of getting an approved visa. Thank you. |

Femibrand: Post your interview transcript for gurus to help analyse it. Read through people's interview sessions (transcripts) in the past parts and pages, both approvals and denials, for you to learn on how to answer questions. Make sure you do these so you do not repeat the same mistake. Welcome to NL. |
