OGreene:
Your school will provide you with that info. Confirm from them.
When is your school starting? Shouldn't you have taken the courses by now. In my own case, I paid for the courses and have completed them

Looking for validation online as regards what concerns your pocket wont help you. You are the only one that knows your pocket and know how much you can afford, if she knows and feels the stress wont affect her, why not book a greyhound bus. IMean it will just take about 12hrs to get to Virginia from Newyork and its not your regular oshodi bus that would have thrown your body left and right before you get to your destination.Some people have traveled longer distance with bus and they are still alive today. Some people like comfort so much that they cant compromise while some can go out of their comfort zone sometimes. Make the decision yourself based on all factors and do what is best for her

Hey guy. I know that most of the discussions made on here are for academic purposes but I'll like to post about rightful living as a student in the u.s although it relates to academics a bit.

I know my epistle will be boring and annoying to most but some few people might gain from it. Abeg make una no vex

My transcript. I had booked my interview for 3/8/2017. A day before being 2/8/2017, I called my cousin to go with me to the mechanic. I got married 2 weeks before this date so I was still on my honeymoon break. My car had a minor issue so it was fixed in no time. I live on the mainland and Island road can confuse me so I thought of going to know the venue of the interview because I planned leaving home pretty early on the interview date. I asked my cousin to open his Google map on his app and we were able to trace Walter Carrington effortlessly. We got there at about 11am. Went straight into the car park a lady walked up to us and asked if I wanted to make photo copies or have my photograph taken. I showed her the photograph I had and asked what she thought. She told me that the background wasn’t white enough and the size wasn’t standard. She offered to make 6 six copies for 1,500. I eventually paid her 1k. And she showed me what documents were required. I got home that day and tried to rehearse with few points I had written down. I even asked my wife to help me prepare. Frankly, I don’t know how to recite written lines, I feel like a robot while doing this. This brings me to what I believe Visa interview is about including job interview. It’s a conversation between two people. You need to try as much as possible to be relaxed, bold and express yourself how you can. This was my first U.S visa interview. My wife thought I wasn’t serious as I turn the whole rehearsal into romance. Before we went to bed, I asked her to pray for me, I believe all that a Child of God has is given to him by God himself. And my wife has been a source of favor since I met her. She no only fine, she get brain join! And she loves God.
Fastforward
Alarm rang 3:30am, I had only gone to bed at 2am. I was agitated the whole night, just couldn’t sleep. I put off the alarm and woke up on my own at 4:00 am. I live along Igando road. I hit the road at 4:30am on the dot. Got to Walter Carrington at 5:40am.
I did all the necessary checks. Oh well, while I was driving to the Island I was committing the heart of the V.O into the hands of my Father. The good book says the heart of Kings are in the hand of the Lord and he directs them wherever He will. I ministered in the Spirit and got myself prepared spiritually. All I encountered was favor all through till I got to the window for interview. In my mind I had chosen the person I wanted to interview me. I wanted the elderly lady at window 6. She seem nice and was giving people white paper, while the other V.O’s were speaking so loud and dashing people baba blue. The guy directing people on the queue directed me to window 5. Trust me that was the toughest V.O there. I had just seen him deny two people, one of them with part scholarship. The V.o asked the last guy to define mitosis and myosis, I think he was going for microbiology or something, he finally denied him.Chai!!! I cant start defining anything today o!! I said to myself. Then it was my turn. I think this particular VO asks the most questions. He takes his time to interview whomever and checks all documentations.
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning (with a smile)
VO: Please pass your passport
Me: Here you go
VO: Tell me what you are going to do in the U.S
Me: was blank for the first 5secs. Then I went…… I am going to the U.S to pursue a postgraduate course in subsea engineering at the University of Houston.
VO turn into typist for the next 2min.
In my mind I was like “bros wetin you dey type, ask me question na!”
VO: Why are you going for this program
At this point I was relaxed. And made sure I maintained eye contact.
Me: Subsea Engineering is relatively new program and it has became necessary because most known wells are running dry while petroleum engineers are discovering wells far offshore at subsea levels. This study helps develop methods to successfully explore oil and gas products from these wells. I hope to improve my employability with this certification when I return back home after my studies.
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: Two schools offer this program in the whole of U.S. Texas A & M and University of Houston. I applied to the latter
VO: Why didn’t you apply to A &M?
Me: as at the time I was making my research about the program in 2015 Texas A & M had just commenced the program, while Houston had been running the program since 2012 or so.
VO: Can you tell me courses you’ll be taking
ME: I mentioned like 5 courses
VO: Who’s paying for your expenses
Me: My elder brother
VO: Why is he paying?
Me: He’s been taking care of my tuition and fees since I was in High School
VO: What does he do
Me: He is a medical doctor
VO: What kind of doctor is he?
Me: He is specialized in internal medicine
VO: where is he?
Me: He lives in the U.s
VO: what city?
Me: TN
VO: Do you have his bank statement and tax returns here (is it in naira or dollars).
Me: yeah, In dollars (passed it to him)
VO: I can see you studied in England why aren’t you pursuing this course in the UK.
Me: I would love to experience different culture from the U.K’S
VO: Quite an interesting program (passes white paper)
That’s all I heard.

When going for your interview just remember Boldness is Key. Try not to sound all rehearsed, them go ask you question to put you off balance.
I dedicate this Success to GOD almighty.
