So may not be able to get all information exactly how it went for the transcript. They asterisked the last paragraph of the white paper and gave them back her passport. Do you have an idea about what the chances would be like and how long we may need to wait for a feedback?

Getting the US visa was so difficult before especially in the early 90's. Please I do not want to discuss further on this anymore. My life is much important than visa. "You have you way. I have my way. as for the right way, the correct way, the only way, it doesn't exist".. selah |

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
Man, I understand everything you have said, but my post addresses people who have picked mid tier schools like ETSU, with Ok profiles , but yet still have to give a PhD dissertation abstract as to why they picked a school. plenty people,not excluding me pick school for a plethora of silly reasons; Close to Home, It's the only school we've known for a long time, most family members have gone there, it's cheap and averagely ranked etc. My point is , the simple fact a person wants to go to school further, and not be out in the streets hustling is because they haven't figured out life fully, and are hoping to find convictions somewhere, somehow. The UK has worse immigration path, yet Nigerians still go there, same with most of Western Europe. And if they don't want unneccessary queues at Walter Carrington, they can have F1 quota just like H1-B and distribute to schools from top ranked to one building schools, at least the game would be pretty clear and the Visaofficer (s) wouldn't have to play pretend God, author and finisher of our lives paths. PS: you didn't put up the travel pictures again Mid tier kwa that school ain't ranked in top tier or 2nd tier sef |

justsaypie: Hello house,
I have a question to ask, is it possible that your visa is denied after you have gotten the white paper and asked to come back in 3 days to pick your passport? I was chatting with a friend last night and he was explaining to me that someone he knows was denied after getting the white paper from the embassy, reason was that the 'VO/Embassy checked the documents he submitted with the school during his application and discovered that he submitted a fake account statement'... I have a hard time believing this but I need to be sure and confirm from gurus on here that have more experience with stuff like this. I have seen someone approved and denied 3days later. So i told him to email the embassy and in 2-3days later it showed approved. |

I will rather opt for a low ranked school for free or at a cheaper cost than this whole top ranked school obsession where you graduate with huge debts/loans.
I will encourage applicants to always choose the most affordable schools. This is America, you can make it out of anywhere. Don't break the bank of your sponsor. 2 of my friends went to very low ranked schools in the south for their MBA's and they both doing great now. Working at Amazon and Bank of America respectively earning 6-figure salaries. 15 Likes 1 Share |

My visa was delayed yesterday the 9th of June by a young VO in Windows 4 after delaying the guy before me. I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong. I was as confident as the VO.
VO: Good morning Me: Good morning and how're your? VO: Great! Please pass me your passport, Sevis and i20. Me: There you go. Passed them. VO: Why did you choose this course? Me: I chose to study Public Affairs because, asides the fact that it's a sub-field of my undergraduate study which is Political Science, this course is a vital requirement needed to take up a position as a Public relations officer after my masters degree. VO: So you will come back to your place of work when you finish your masters? Me: Yes please but as a Public relations officer as I am currently a Customer Service Executive in my place of work. VO: So where do you work and what are your duties? Me: I work with XYZ Bank PLC as a customer service executive and I manage the social media platform which is Facebook, Live chat and Twitter handle. I'm duly responsible for handling customers queries and complaints and I provide feedback from customers not satisfied with a particular product or service to the unit involved for proper review of the complaint and possible timely resolution which is conveyed to customers on these platforms. We also monitor the channels (Mobile app, Online banking and ATM) for network fluctuations. VO: Okay.. So what will this course do for you? Me: This course will give me the knowledge and insights to manage emerging issues in my organization both internally and externally. It will also help me develop current policies and besides, it's a vita requirement needed to take up a position in my current place of work. VO: Are you married? Me: No please. VO: Any kids? Me: None for now. VO: I can see Public affairs on your DS 160 and on your i20 I'm seeing Public administration. Me: My admission is in Public affairs but when my I20 was sent to the US government for processing they didn't have my course of study as it is stated on their system and the course closely related was Public administration. Both courses have same curriculum and course outlines. So it's no different but just the name. VO: Okay. Starts typing for a minute or two. VO: Have you traveled outside the country before? Me: No please, haven't had a reason to until now. Vo: Okay. Types again and again and again. Then he handed me a white paper. As I was about to jubilate, he gave me back my passport and i20... and he said, I'm sorry I won't be granting you a visa at this time. Then I looked at the paper.. 214B. Now in a white paper... I shook my head. Me: May I please confirm why I'm being delayed again? VO: it's written in the paper I just gave you. Me: Thank you. Didn't know where I gathered the strength to laugh. But I laughed anyways.
This isn't the end of the world. I said to myself. I just drafted a mail and sent to my school telling them about the discrepancy in my admission letter, and what I have on my i20 and the international office was kind enough to send me a mail stating the reason for the discrepancy and asked me to print it and send apply again.
I have chosen to defer till Spring 2018 coz school (New Mexico Highlands University) resumes on the 15th and I don't want to start explaining and speaking English at the POE.. Let me give myself time. 9 Likes 1 Share |

OGreene: You said you searched for schools that 'offer practical learning with great mentorship programs...'. I dont know what this means, didnt you just search for the program itself and select schools?
Is Innoson a multinational? Also think about why you picked the course, in case you are asked. You have covered most questions.
The part where you said the school offered you a discipline in 2 courses of interest to you...do you mean concentration or specialization?
I want to believe you read past transcripts. Be clear in your responses. You can practice in front of the mirror and make sure you are not stammering. Because cram work dey get as e be, know the key words and expand on them. Be confident that day and mainatin eye-contact.
