Gurus in the house please advise

Background: Mech Engineering (2008)
Applied & got admitted: MBA university of Bridgeport CT
Schools induction on the 10th of January for spring intake.
I am yet to pay for SEVIS and enrollment fee as well have my I-20 shipped thereafter.

For the interview purpose: can I still meet up?
Will the change in course of study be an issue?
I really don’t know if I should defy the admission to August intake and how soon should schedule for an interview at the embassy (if defying is the best option)

Sir Twoods, tuale. Let me PM you for one or two things.. I no 'proud' at all.

Baba, make I send PM? @Twoods

Account balance is not the only thing being checked. The cash inflow is very important. Check the inflow. Adding ur salary account is not a bad idea, as u ll say u are coming back to head the dept. I feel ur pain. So sorry.

Visa delayed AGAIN at the Lagos Embassy.

It happened like a mirage. Though VO was sharing BLUE PAPER like cabin biscuit to all the guys before me. But truth is, they weren't responding fine and when it got to my turn, I approached him smiling. Though I am yet to explain what happened to me cos I was really balling like it was hot...

VO: Hello good morning.
Me: Good morning Sir? How was your night.
VO: Am fine thank you. Pass me your passport and i-20.
Me: Here it is. (Passed it).
VO: So where are you going to?
Me: I am going to TAMUK, Texas to pursue my masters degree in Mathematics and Statistics with a concentration in Statistical Analytics, Computing and Modelling.
VO: okay? How many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to 3 schools. TAMUK, Indiana University and McNesse State University.
VO: so why did you choose TAMUK over Indiana?
Me: TAMUK is a research University and has great research facilities which include the Javelina Algebra Lab which is the computer classroom for my department and the James C. Jeernigan Library which is one of the largest libraries in Texas and I believe having access to such research facilities will be a great boost as it will broaden my academic horizons.
VO: Nodding his head like agama lizard.
Me: (continued) also, in my quest to know more about the school, I downloaded the official school's app which keeps me up to date with happenings in the school.
In addition to this, I developed a good relationship with Professor.... (VO cuts in).
VO: When did you graduate?
Me: November 2011.
VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: I hold a bachelor's in Computer Science.
VO: So since after school, what have you been doing?
Me: After school, I served and then got a job at xyz bank as a Service Executive. I am an ATM custodian and my roles are blablabla...

VO: nods his head again and ask So why masters?
Me: Sorry?
VO: I said, why do you wanna pursue a masters?
Me: Well, the prospects and opportunities for this course are extremely high in Nigeria and their is a lack of professionals...
VO cuts in: What do you mean by prospects?
Me: Job prospects.
VO: Oh? Okay?
Me (continues): For example, big data and analytics which is one of the courses I will study at TAMUK is relatively new here in Nigeria and experts in the field are hard to source.
(VO again nodding continuously like agama)
Me (continued). Companies here in Nigeria who need the services of big data analysts have no other choice but to hire expatriate professionals from other technologically advanced countries like the US....

VO now nodding harder and harder..

Me: (now feeling like a don jazzy singing ogbeni feli feli continues)...and there is the need to..... (I went blank. Mind you, i never crammed this o. I was flowing and VO was nodding his head and all of a sudden I forgot what I was saying entirely and where i was drivinf at.)

VO was still nodding his head and looking at me ooooo and with the expression in his face, was like, hey? Whatsup nah? Continue, am enjoying the gist...

Me: (I opened my mouth to talk, but nothing came out. Hey? I was doomed....)

VO:

Me: (stammering....) Am sorry sir....

VO: Just calm down. Take your time.

Me: (Just like Danfo wey dey push down a hill I pick up).... and studying this course will equip me with the analytical and technical skills needed to flourish as a data analyst and will help me fill the gap for a lack of indigenous big data analysts in my country.

VO: (indifferent) Have you travel out of the country before?
Me: No. I have not had any need to.
VO: Who is your sponsor?
Me: My dad.
VO: What does he do?
Me: he is into haulage, supply and distribution of petroleum products. He also owns petrol stations here in Lagos and Aba

VO: Are you married?
Me: No, but am engaged.

VO: brings out the devilish love letter from the devil's mailbag)... Am sorry you do not qualify....

Me: (goes deaf)... but summoned courage to ask, BUT WHAT WENT WRONG THIS TIME? (I expected him to say that yeye paper will explain but he said something else).

VO; Am sorry, you failed to convince me you are a genuine student.

Me: thank you.
VO: Have a nice day


Without being told, I know I screwed up when I off like say them press my remote from village....

All the same, I wish my people well... Mercybliss, I will sincerely miss u from the depth of my heart. @Tosin baba, represent us well. Remember you are our TAMUK course rep. @iPhy and @Mayorboi, @ikenna omo Igbo, @ojelade am so sorry I fall una hands big time this second attempt. No doubt it seems my first was even better. I wish you guys a wonderful trip to the States. You guys have been my family here. If God tarries, I will join you guys in due course maybe not now.

@lagosismyhome, @walspring, @my fellow Javelina, and all @Nairalanders you guys are the best.

(I just feel like crying right now but I am a strong man, why shall I cry?

Refire bro, you'll be fine. Learn to answer questions straight to the point, tackle tamuk over Indiana question well, maybe tuition, course work, funding etc. And I don't know where engaged stands but I don't think that was needed. Go with a bigger confidence, less talk and more appropriate answers. Don't sound like a bot

His age and the fact that his dad is sponsoring him is not a red flag. I know of plenty people older than him with their parents as sponsors, yet their stuffs were approved.[q1uote author=Sanctus1 post=63271323]at 33 with a child... that's enough home ties but how can your dad be sponsoring you at 33? thats a red flag bro[/quote]

Please can anyone put me through on what I can be asked on my interview f-1 category,the school I applied for will be resuming 10th jan,my interview date is 23rd jan.

I hope there wasn't a a huge deposit into that account recently that might have raised eyebrows. Was there steady flow of money in and out?

No, it's not..on its own

Hello All,

I want my former Boss to recommend me for my application, but he is saying he cannot use his companies letter head for me.

If i wouldnt mind for him to do the recommendation without the letter head, we are go to go.

I want to ask if it would be an issue for me during my application.

Thanks

No there is steady flow. My fear is that he doubted its auhenticity by his reaction. And if that was wat he thought, it would not be nice coz that would not be fair. He should av subject it to further verifications.
Can I be banned jst because he doubted? I

I need someone who can help me pay 75 dollars ASAP

Good day house please can I get a recommendation for school with funding in Electrical Engineering Master (GRE score V: 145 Q: 155) ( IELTS overall: 7. 0, R: 6. 5, L:6. 5, W:7. 0, S:8. 0) (GPA 3. 45/5. 0)

Since you probably got 214(b) rejection reason, you were not banned. He might have doubted it as you said, or just saw something he didn't like; but usually they place people on AP for things like that while they verify.

Bro... Good afternoon. Now, the thing is, If I woke you up after you have slept for 12 hours due to previous night of drinks, would you remember all these answers right there?; Chances are that you wouldn't, and the VO will clearly perceive this as a rehearsed answer (which will tick them off).
Now, you're going for CIS, which sounds fancy and Nice , you need to instantaneously think of the possibilities of your course. For Example, Up until recently, our very own CBN has not given a sh*t about Electronic payments and transfers, but due to recent spate of attacks, Lazarus, wannacry, There are some plans to reformat our NIBSS(Nigerian Interbank settlement System) to move out of the scope of Local payments and stand as watchdog for international ones and I bet they would need pioneer CIS guys like you.
Another Example, Our very own Andela has been receiving massive millions in dollars for funding, while they have an overflow of Web, App, Full stack developers etc, they obviously lack the Back end army to be filled with CIS people (hopefully), so there again a wide open opportunity for you.
Another Example: The world is going open source with a bang ; Laravel, Linux, Arduino, ARM, CUDA for GPU's etc etc, and as companies adopt open source materials they would need Quality assurance Techies, Testers, Systems analysts Blah blah blah... That's where you would definitely fit in this century
Another fine Example: Nigeria is finally catching on with the automation fever of the century, and as manual labor is phased out, High level Tech labour is required ,and currently provided by expatriates, so there's somewhere to fit in.
I thought of a these examples off the top of my head without rehearsing, and trust me, if you wake me up at Night I would come up with a dozen more seamlessly . You don't have to a whiz to know these things. Your school probably has a career page to see budding career opportunities for your field, Your alumni base on LinkedIn could give you a sneak peek of what life after graduation has been like for those before you. There are numerous forums like stackoverflow et al where trends in computing and technological fields are discussed daily. But overall, you have to let it flow naturally. BE CHILL!!!.. BE RELAXED!!!
