Me: Well I worked with .....(a Christian organization). It wasn't a real job, but I worked with them for about 2 years before I moved to Lagos and got a job at .....(my current workplace).

VO: And what do you do there?

Me: Well I'm a Data processor/customer relations officer.

VO: Okay. (bringing out a white sheet of paper and passing it to me with my I-20) Here's your I-20, you will be needing it when you get on the plane...etc.

I'm so grateful to everyone here for their advice. That's why I took the time to drop this as my own way of helping someone.

My advice: ask for grace and favour of God as you go. I wasn't particularly well prepared but just found I just had the answer needed as questions were asked. And please, read as many transcripts as possible to prepare your mind for like questions, but don't cram any answers. It's best to sound natural.

Congrats...When a case is already settled. Enjoy.

Ma, you didnt reply my last PM. i found a way out though. How are u doing?

Left home 4am after sleeping for few hours due to cough Syrup I took to clear my throat (I for no sleep at all). I was quiet anxious and nervous at the same time. Wondering wetin oyinbo man go ask me. Finally at the embassy at exactly 5:30am, naso i see crowd and my liver cut immediately. Where are all this pple going? Same question applicable to me. Rain started and I was a bit drenched.Security checks done, finger print done and time to face the ***bo demons . At this point my confidence was doubled and was determined to give my best and accept anything that comes out without regret. First guy went and was issued white paper and followed by many many Man-City colored paper. Here comes my turn and I stared tripping for the beautiful VO immediately, sexy nose with great smile and who am i not advertise my 200 Naira close up. Here goes the transcript:

Vo: Why are you going to mtsu ?

Me:for my masters
degree in information systems technology with concentration in info security!

Vo: noticed you have a partial scholarship, how did you qualify for it ?

Me: Due to my outstanding performance in GRE and well articulated SOP!

Vo: How many school did I apply and name them ?

Me: Mtsu and uni of Bridgeport!

Vo: what will you do after your program ?

Me: return to my country and assume a bigger position at my place of work.

Vo: where do you work?

Me: xyz networks and luckily I was wearing my office branded shirt which is our Thursday costume.

Vo:What is your current job role ?

Me: I work as a field service /IP engineer, deployment of vpn and internet services using VSAT and microwave technology, I also take part in configuration of router and switches which are communication devices used.

Vo: That's Great! I will approve your visa.

Then I realized the vo was also tripping for me (just kidding). Grace all the way, thank you King of Kings! Special appreciation to my boss Hammed Wahab, Fakos, Agba Kareem, Biodun Adeleke, Juwon (this guy is a guru in answering vo questions). Be bold, audible, precise and on point. To top it all, please PRAY.

Ask your question here and I will answer you as best as I can.
I do not have the luxury of time for pm's now unfortunately.

I need to divulge some information in order to get a befitting response from you, that's why I can't write it all out here. I believe you are already a student of KSU. I can also call you at your spare time if you don't mind. If it's too much of a disturbance, not a problem then.

DimmyCho:


Yes,i used ECE.. 12 days and it's cheaper

ok..... I guess WES has gotten to comfortable and over confident, hence the reason for there poor customer service.

Heykayxx:
Good morning fam,

Anyone heading to Auburn university in Alabama in this coming Fall? How's life in that city? Weather? Survival tips?

I look forward to reading from you et al

Your best bet is to search for any African or Nigeria in your school using linkedin, I am sure you will get at least one person on Linkedin. Its always good to have someone that can give you heads up so that you dont make the mistake they made.Just one advice, In class, never be a lone ranger, make sure you make friends and learn how to smile often if you are like me that doesn't really smile, you have to learn that, it opens way for conversation and makes you more approachable.Start all homeworks and project immediately, dont procrastinate, its always like the number of hours here is less than 24, it moves so fast. Never forget God,hold on to him because it so easy to derail and forget God in this western world. All the best.

[quote author=Rousel post=57304768][/quote] @Rousel 1) Yes you have to pay for application fee 2) Dont be lazy read about 20pages back and you will get the guidelines you want but if you cant read, I am sorry..You are not ready

OluDare01:
