Appreciation: I appreciate all NL family, all that stood by me, Mr Texrem, Mr John, all that message me and make comment on my denied transcript. You are to much. And most importantly. I give it all to God.

I got to the embassy around 5:30 am. Skipping to the checking point. My name was note found on the book for scheduled interview. I was asked to go sit down(20-30 minute thereabout) , for my mind, I said I am done today. Yet I fight it back in my spirit. I was later called up that my name dey system, so I was cleared to go. Got to the judgement room for screening and biometric. Submit docs for screening, then hurried to the rest room to do the usual and pray once more because I already met and seen people wey dey frown face with blue paper. For inside toilet, I dey hear my name, lagbaja come to window 14, I sit down for rest room dey do d tin dey go. Finally I came out after 5min. The whole room put eye on me, na u dem dey call since. I hurried to 14, she then ask me to bring my doc. Is this how to fill a form, na wetin she ask, she then ask me some questions I replied and she typed. I knew say na my ds160 she was referring to. I forgot biometric, I was later called out of line by the Cgi to go out of line to go do biometric. I return. Now to window 4. She's in her 30s I suppose.

Vo: good morning(smiling)

Vo: very fine and yours
Me: its very lovely
Vo: your doc please

Me: mathematics, full scholarship and GTA

Me: I answered.
Vo: what's the derivative of acceleration?
Me: (for my mind, I was like is she playing with me) I pause for a minute, look at her in the eye, smile, she smile back, then gave her the answer. She then smiled the more and brought out white paper, and start saying all their grammar after three working days so so and so. No question about my first denial a week ago.



God settled my case. My case is different. It can only be God. Thank you all

Hi. I will check it this night.

TheGreat342:


what documents were you asked during Biometric

Amakyzuu:
Does anyone have experience in F-1 visa for a monor who wants to complete secondary school in the US with full scholarship. What kind of questions can she expect? She will be going with her parents since she is just 15

[s]ready for her interview to demonstrate her intentions to study and return to Nigeria for college/University[/s]

LagosismyHome:


I doubt if anyone will drill a minor /15 year old too much. It would be more like simple questions on what does she want to become when she grows up

The focus will be more around the parents affordability. The Vo will want to see that no public money should be spent on the child education...so if she on scholarship fine. Any portion of expenses outside the scholarship the parents should go with evidence that they can afford to cover it ... so in summary its the parents that will be interviewed not really the child

switcyndy:


I used IERF. My reason for using them was because i didn't have the time to follow up with WES and my school and they delivered on that. No delays or stories about confirmation from school.
There services is good. they reply to my mails promptly. My result after evaluation was still good. The only down side for me was that I used postal mail for my school copy and my own too. Where the school received there almost immediately after evaluation. I got mine 6 months after. So I would advice if you wish to go with them and you need your copy fast, then pay for courier services.

kekenation:
PLEASE CHECK YOUR MAIL PLEASE....

switcyndy:


Please I don't know how to reply a pm. I will send you instead. I tried replying but it keeps coming back.

phemmyB:
