Sad day.... So I was delayed today for the second time in Abuja. I am honestly just lost for words right now. This is not the transcript I thought I'll be writing today but God knows best. If you recall I was the guy denied on June 22nd and the VO didn't return my passport to me. That's how I found this thread through a friend. After back and forth for two weeks I finally retrieved the passport and a mail saying I should apply again at no cost. Called the call center to book the free appointment and they did. On getting there on 24th of July for my interview, was told the mail they sent me was a mistake, that I should pay another 64k and come back. I did and here I am now. My full transcript below. I was interviewed by a white guy in window 9. I was happy it was a guy at least. And was so confident all through. Vo: morning. Me: morning. Vo: so why did you choose to go to Harrisburg University? Me: I'm going to Harrisburg University because they offer a concentration in CAPM (defined it) in their Msc Project management and I spoke with professor Stephen Onu, a Nigerian, who has an ongoing research on Project Execution using Agile lean model and he has invited me to join his research upon my arrival. Vo: Did you consider any other school? Me: Yes I considered Ashland University, (vo cuts in) but why did you pick harrisburg? I wanted to say the admission is pending but he didn't let me. So I said the concentration harrisburg has is a unique advantage for me and later said that Ashland admission is pending. Vo: so have you traverted before Me: yes I have been to Ghana. Vo: so where did you do your undergraduate? Me: I did my university degree at University of Abuja, studied political science and graduated in 2008 after which I joined a media company as a proofreader and from there I joined maritimo resources, a construction firm, and later to where I presently work. At so and so company as Sales operations manager and listed all my duties. All the while he was typing and nodding his head. Vo; then he asked so who is paying your tuition? Me: my dad Vo; what does he do? Me: A building contractor and owns a furniture company. Then he keeps typing for sometime and in my mind I was like finally I have gotten it......then all of a sudden blue paper. My people I am so sad. But I thank ProfOjah1234 for his help. He really helped me and everything almost went as me and him discussed except for the delay. Sigh! Were do I get another 64k? School resumes on 25th. Damn I'm sad. This plat form has really helped me and that's why I decided that I must write this transcript. 2 Likes |

LagosismyHome:Hahahahaha. I thought they said you should go to closest location. I prefer folks going to where they would get visas. Even if it's in Jericho. Just go. Success can be gotten from afar. ![]() 2 Likes |

Okesima24: I am so very sorry for this delay. I can only imagine how it must hurt. Honestly, reading through this transcript, I am still struggling to find out what went wrong also. i hope someone else with more experience can explain what they think happened. I have read transcripts where the answers given were not even as detailed as this, yet they got the visa. One thing we cannot see from transcripts is things like body language and tone. From what I have seen, those are important factors as well. All the best next time. I pray something works out for you. 3 Likes |

Okesima24:Sorry. Just take some time off. Do not return there immediately, otherwise you will be denied again. If you can get admission in another school, much better institution of course and scholarship, you would be fine. 1 Like |

Okesima24: Then again, it might not be you. It might be your university. From what I read online, Harrisburg U was put on probation and its accreditation was removed in 2014. It was later restored in 2016. Who knows if that is a factor. The university may still be struggling and could be on a blacklist of schools. Please note that I am just speculating. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 12 by LagosismyHome(f): 1:54pm On Aug 05, 2017 |
Fenix: Cc Okesima24 I agree ...There are so many well established uni in america so many. I personally will not attend one who just got accredited in 2009. .....make them learn and grow with home students .... This probably a one building school....why travel all the way for that?? Why did you pick that school., surely there are other better schools with less tuition |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 12 by Okesima24: 2:17pm On Aug 05, 2017 |
@Fenix, thank you for your suggestion. Could be true. But 3 of my friends got admission to that same school. 2 of them towards end of last year and one who we work in the same office got his in that same Abuja in April and is now in US. The other two got theirs in Lagos embassy. So I really don't know. But I will consider your suggestion to relax for now and perhaps pick other schools. Thank you all. 1 Like |

2. The flight took off at 1:19pm in Lagos. It was 10mins early. Boarding was easy too. We accessed the aircraft through the tarmac. I sat close to the engine so there was a lot of noise. But luckily, I had bought a noise cancellation headset which helped a lot. Take-off was great too. The flight was a little boring as I sat beside a Ghanaian lady who I suspect is mute; we didn't say anything to each other through the entire 6hr trip. My advice is that you come with your movie and music. The movie and music onboard may actually bore you to death. The food was great too. We were served twice on the LOS-CAI leg. The aircraft doesn't have a USB charging port so if your craft is a B737-800, come with enough juice. We touched down a few mins to 7pm in Cairo. The skyline was beautiful. Everywhere was lit and we were taken to the hotel after waiting for about two hours or so. 11 Likes 1 Share

,,,,greetingsss guys,,,,, pease i have a question,,,,,can an immigration lawyer intercede with the USA consular officer's decision on visa refusal / denial base on US INA law 214b as to review the consular's decision and reaffirm to the consular that applicant has strong ties with his home country and has a true intention of studying in USA |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 12 by MrChillz(m): 8:23pm On Aug 05, 2017 |
dennison4luv: I may be mistaken, but I think there's a clause in the 214b that states "this decision cannot be appealed..." |
