Is there a website that lists all STEM programs for USA ? I've seen so many lists online but not sure of their accuracy. TWoods: |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 12 by gokuu(m): 9:16am On Nov 28, 2017 |
Kayme:Not really. Because different universities have different nomenclatures for similar courses. But, on the program websites, the school would state clearly if a course is STEM-designated by Homeland. |

Mekurexx:I have seen this post like three times in the past two days. my opinion goes thus. I believe there are various ways now one can send money directly to his Nigerian account regardless of your location. Why come here and be asking for naira when you can get it conveniently from wherever you are? It boils down to the saying "if it's too good to be true, it's a scam". You may be legit for all I know but the way you are advertising it is suspicious. Walsprings does the same transactions for people but you Don't see him advertising himself. It's just an opinion though and common sense. And does anyone need dollar to pay flight ticket? You can always do whatever transaction at the airport. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Honestly, if you believe in God, and thinks he sits down somewhere and does Tum-bum Tum-bum analysis on who gets a visa and who gets rejected, then your height of delusion is through the roof. |

My people, indeed it takes courqge to come up here to post your denial transcript o. The moment I was denied, I felt like the ground should open lemme fall into it or even disappear into thin air but now, it seems am better and stronger now emotionally. Now, here comes my denial Visa Interview Denied at the Lagos embassy today 7am. Consular was a dark American lady at Windows 9. VO: Good morning. (No smiles whatsoever). Pass me your i-20 and passport. Me: Good morning. (Me smiling and thinking, madam smile for once kwanu) I passed my documents) VO: I see, you are going to study Maths and Statistics at TAMUK, Texas? Me: (Smiling) Yes. VO: What is your highest qualification? Me: I hold a BSc in Computer Science. VO: You said? Me: I repeated. VO: Okay. When did you graduate? Me: November 2011. VO: and since then what have you been doing? Me: After my graduation, I embarked upon the compulsory NYSC experience which elapsed in 2013 and I secured a job at XYZ bank. VO: Okay what do you do for them? Me: I stated my responsibilities. VO: How long have you been working ? Me: over 3 years. January 2018 will make it 4 years at the bank. VO: So what will this course do for you? Me: It will equip me with the analytical and technical skills needed to flourish in my career. It will also help facilitate my promotion at my place of work. VO: Why did you choose this school? Me: Asides the fact that they offered me my concentration, they also offered me a free campus scholarship housing with an instate tuition waiver which will allow me enjoy paying my fees as an instate Texan resident. VO: Quickly grabs my i-20 like say she b Russian . But I can't see any free housing scholarship on your i-20. Me: Yes and that is because the email came later after i-20 was issued. VO: Okay? Can I see the letter? Me: I passed it. VO: Nodding her head. Okay? VO: How many schools did you apply to? Me: I applied to three schools. VO: Did you write any language test scores? Me: Yes. I sat for toefl and GRE. VO: Can I see them? Me: Showed them. VO: Okay? Tell me the requirement for this course. Me: To complete this course, I will complete a total of 30 credit units of course work which include 18 credit unit of core course work, 6 units of elective, and 6 units of thesis. The course duration is 24months starting from January 10th 2018 and will end in December 2019. VO: Sorry, can you take it all over again? Me: I stated it again but in a remixed version. VO: Have you travelled out of the country before? Me: Not really. And that is because I have not had any reason to until after now. VO: Okay? Who is your sponsor? Me: My dad is my sponsor. He is this and that �. VO: Well, I will be issuing you (I come dey happy for my mind)... She continued... the denial paper, this is because you were not found eligible for a visa according to Section 214 (B) of the US Immigration and Nationality act. Blablabla.. The rest no even near my ear as I was like? What happened? (Maybe VO even heard me talking to myself). I had to hide my blue paper so that one of us a nairalander who was warming up for hers won't be demoralized. I marched out like an old major ;Dwhile people dey hail me congrats sir, anything dey for the boys? In my mind, I was still asking, what happened? House? Abeg make una gather come sit for my head o. At a time I wanted to ask VO if we can start the interview all over again. Well? Denial is not failure though. I shall return to retire after the house is done sitting on top my matter. |

Dear Nairalanders, I have been a silent follower of this thread for some weeks now and this thread has been very helpful for me. I had my Visa interview today in Lagos, I was the first person to be interviewed by a Lady (can't remember the window) My transcript below: VO: good morning ME: Good morning VO: Why are you going to the US ME: I am going for my masters degree program in computer engineering at University of Louisianna at Lafayette. VO: Why US, why not go to India ME: the US is the birthplace for computer networks and is a global leader in research and development of network technologies and security protocols. Studying in the US will afford me global exposure as well as………..(She cut me short here) VO: what is your highest academic qualification. ME: I have a Bachelor’s degree B.Eng Electrical & Electronics Engineering. VO: tell me about your program, study plan ME: my program is 36 credit unit courses for 4 semesters, 9 credit per semester and I’ll be taking courses like principles of computer commnunications, data mining, telecoms systems, network integrity & security protocols (she cut me short again) VO: What is your career plan ME: I career goal is to be a technical consultant (apparently she heard contractor) in networking and security field. VO: have you handled any contracts so far? ME: Excuse me?? (I was wondering where contractor came in from) VO: You said your career goal is to be a contractor. ME: No, I said consultant not contractor,tehnical consultant in networking VO: Oh okay. So who would be paying for your education ME: I got graduate tuition fellowship from the school and my uncle will be paying my fees (she cut me short) VO: Your I-20 doesn’t state you have any fellowships from the school, it only states your family funds ME: Yes, that’s because I got the fellowship from the school after my I-20 was issued. I have the letter from the school showing this (about to stretch the letter when she asked the next question) VO: When did you graduate from school and what I’ve you been doing since then, ME: I graduated in 2012, after which I embarked on a one year mandatory NYSC program. Immediatel after this I joined Huawei technologies where I’ve been working till now as an IP/Datacommunications engineer. VO: what do you do? ME: I’m a network engineer, my responsibilities include network design and planning, implementation & deployment, troubleshooting any IP transport related issues. VO: what will you be doing in the US after your program ME: I will return to Nigeria to rejoin Huawei technologies VO: Rejoin Huawei? Are you sure you will have a place in Hauwei? ME: Yes I’m sure, VO: Are you guaranteed this? ME: Yes I already have study leave from work VO: DO you have any proof of this? Any letter from your employers to back this up ME: I don’t have this with me here. VO: Types for a minute, then blue paper……………. I intend to get a study leave letter from work before the end of this week, then refire again. Gurus in the house, Kindly scrutinize my transcript, all criticisms are welcomed. I need as much information as possible before going again. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Although it might not determine the outcome of an interview But if you have any form of scholarship or waiver make sure its on the i20. Always work with the school to resend you the correct i20 at time of the interview 1 Like 1 Share |

Sorry man for the denial, you just have to brace up. You did very well in the interview but the problem I see here is the lack of correlation between your undergraduate course I.e computer science, working in a bank and going for masters in Maths and statistics.Masters in computer science or information technology would have made more sense with you working in the IT department. I wish you all the best as you refire. jerrypeacelinks: |

mcabidoh: The truth is not all firms will give leave of absence as some are not even happy you are leaving. My concern now is will the VO subscribe to the idea of one saying "It is customary of my firm to issue the study leave letter" once the employee submits a copy of his/her admission letter together with the approved VISA passport. 2 Likes |

paulavon: Thanks for your response. My course I feel is very much in line with my first degree and my profession. There is no computer or computer science without concepts from mathematics and statistics. Moreover, my concentration is Statistical Analytics Computing and Modelling but i-20 came as Maths and Stat. 5 Likes |

Hello House I am 23yrs, I graduated from a university in Ghana last year july, I started my NYSC last year october and ended this year Novermber. I got a job with an oil servicing company immediately after my graduation, and luckly for me I got posted there too. After service, now am a permanent staff. i gained admission for masters, and my interview is on the 5th of next month my problem now is when asked about when i graduate, which is last year, i guess they already know about the one year compulsory NYSC, do I tell them i was working and serving at the same time, cos at the office then I was a one year contract which covered my NYSC, but as a full staff. will my little work experience pose as a threat to me...please i need advice.. @lagosmama @twood @bigfrancise @other gurus in the house |

EZEIGBO1OFIMO: I guess the number of denial with good response today alone justifies the testimony(transcript) of Cassy14 when she rightly stated the number of denial before hers showing her gratitude to God. I dont know if God seats in heaven & carries out visa lotteries on who to grant visa like you jokingly or mockingly said, but am certain it takes Gods favour to secure one. Eccl 9:11 the race is not to the swift nor the battle is to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding nor yet favour to men of skills. That you sleep & rise, got ur visa while others did not or you got a job and others were not as lucky as u were is not because you are better, but because a higher authority chose to set you apart. You may call it luck but I call it favour. So if you have forgotten the place of God in one's life by reason of long stay in the USA, I suggest u return to Nigeria and learn or relearn what Gods favour truelly is. 23 Likes 1 Share |
