EZEIGBO1OFIMO: Same thought crossed my mind. As we know sometimes getting a visa isn't really a function of your responses. |

I was placed in administrative processing for about 42 days since the day of my interview. However, I was eventually cleared and got my visa in about a week thereafter. I met about 2 other guys who were placed in the same pool and were later rejected. You'll just have to wait cos there is virtually nothing you can do except to try and mail em once a week after 30days. Moreover, there are varieties of administrative processing and I don't know which category yours belong. In my own case, I had a successful interview and was handed a white paper ticked administrative processing and was told by the VO that they would contact me by email or phone in due course. Got their email 2 days after. They requested that I answer some questions with proofs. I guess I had a part of my data matched with someone they were looking for. And then the process went on and on. It was really crazy mehnn but I thank God. If you come out clean, you'll be granted the visa shikena. I rest my pen. 5 Likes |

Hi House, I had my interview last week and my visa was granted. I had chosen Abuja when i was filling my form i chose but when i tried booking for appointment earliest Abuja date was 13th december so i went back and put Lagos and got Nov 22nd, i actually got earlier date in lagos but i chose 22nd to enable my sevis payment to be confirmed. At this point i already submited my form and printed my confirmation and even in the appointment i chose Abuja Dhl office as my pick up point. So I went to Lagos on 21st and on the 22nd morning i headed to the embassy for my 7.30 appointment. When it got to my turn to scan my passport, they couldnt read my info, eventually she saw where the posted Abuja on my passport and asked why i had Abuja and im interviewing in Lagos i explained that i couldnt get an earlier date in Abuja. she said that my form was sent to Abuja and that i should go and wait at the back till its sorted, i waited for long then i heard them call my name over the mic and i went back to her. Eventually it got to my turn, The young looking guy in window 6 was my VO VO: Good morning ME: Hello, Good morning VO: may i have your passport (i passed him my passport) VO: have you been to the U.S before? Me: Yes sir VO: Okay, let me have your I-20 and sevis fee (i passed him the two) VO: what are you going to the US for me: I'm going for my masters in law VO: Tell me about your school ME: I'm going to the University of Arizona, its in Tucson..(i really wasnt sure how to answer this cos i was prepared to talk about my course not my school so i was glad he stopped me) VO (interrupts me) what is your highest qualification ME: I have an LLB in law VO: which school and is that your highest qualification? ME: from********I also have a BL from Lagos law school VO: how many schools did you apply to ME:4 VO: how many admitted you ME:All VO: Did you write any standard test ME: No VO: (frowns, typing on his system) ME: No test was required, the main requirement for an LLM is an LLB VO: oh..okay, why do you want this course ME: I want to build up my profile as an authority in the field of international investment law and cross border representation for Businesses across border. VO: (Nods....checks his system again) who is paying for your school ME: My elder brother VO: What does he do ME: He is an oil marketer and also deals in real estate VO: Why would your brother pay for you? ME: The company he is running is family business so i'm part owner VO: (nods) I will be approving your visa, you can pick up your passport at...(looks at my passport and saw that the small paper on it says abuja) (holds back the white paper that he was already sliding to me) VO: How come you're interviewing in Lagos when your based in Abuja? Me: I actually wanted Abuja but the earliest date i could get was december and i wanted to interview earlier so that i can get on with my plans. VO: okay(slides me the white paper) I might have missed a thing or two but this is basically it, and i read every single page of this thread even though i didnt ask questions i benefitted a lot and i hope someone will benefit from my experience too, buzz me if you are headed to Tucson, Arizona. I dont think the University of Arizona is that popular here but i Nigerians are everywhere so....Good luck to those that are still preparing for their interview 13 Likes 3 Shares |
