abeeolars:No offense taken. I have been following this thread for a while and I have visited the embassy for interview just like you. From what I observed, an interview which is results in a denial is not usually that short. I listened to a number of interviews. There is really not much help that can be rendered to him with that transcript. For a denial interview to be that short, there may be a backstory. I just have the feeling that there are some things OP is not telling us. Which VO will deny him after just this lexzyg: However, I might be wrong and I apologize if I am. Just trying to help. |

Hi Time2smile, I wasn't actually contradicting what you wrote, my comment was to the guy who got delayed. His response was too short and not detailed enough to justify his travelling intension. I I believe if he had thoroughly gone through the thread and read through and understood the various transcripts he may not have answered the way he did. All the best Time2Smile: |

Hello , I'm new here . I had an my first F1 interview on Nov 11 and it was delayed . I already booked another date but I need to dot my I's and cross my T's so as not to make the same mistake twice. My interview goes thus Me-good morning, how do you do today ? V.O - very well , thank you . Please pass me your passport and i20 Me-( passed them) V.O-why are you going to the US? Me- I'm going to the uS for studies, I got admitted into Cleveland state university to study Operations and supply chain management V.O- when did you finish secondary school? Me- 2016 (it's actually 2014 but my nerves were everywhere so I just said that) V.O - (checks his computer for some time ) How many schools did you apply to ? Me- just Cleveland state University sir V.O-why just Cleveland state university? Me-( here's where I think I goofed , I started with talking about the environment of the school before my course and my course curriculum. ) V.O - who's your sponsor? Me- my dad . He's a major distributor of building materials like iron , roofing sheets , cement V.O- did you do any standardized test? Like TORFL? Me- I didn't, as all my past learning was done in English and the school waived the exam for me V.O- have you travelled before? Me- no sir , there hasn't been a need to . He typed for a few minutes then handed me the dreaded blue paper � I was told doing the TOEFl exams would improve my chances but I couldn't get a date for December and my school resumes January 15 . So I booked my visa date again with hope and faith Please I need help on what to say when asked 'what has changed in your application?' Cause sadly nothing has changed And how I can make my answers stronger P.s no other documents was asked |

lexzyg:I never accused you of lying. If that is the case, I think you should give more detailed answers to the questions : 1. What will this degree do for you? You have to justify why you are traveling across the ocean and spending so much money to pursue your degree of choice. Come up with good, articulate, reason and try not to cram. 2. What will you do after the program? Your response was too vague. Again be specific and remember it has to be something back home in Nigeria where your newly acquired skills would be required. 1 Like |

jofreddy7:.. Yeah mine went through the same process and at the end I have my passport and my visa a week after the interview. All you need to do now is to be patient. Like you said, it's under administrative processing. It will be updated tomorrow just like mine before the actual visa was issued. I am not saying that it must be upto a week but it might be. You can track the case.. Google about it to learn more. |

ajokeomopupa: My sister, don't take this personal or as an insult but you are not yet ready to study/come to the United States. You have 3rd class, looking for a cheap school and don't want to take GRE. Are you for real!!! Admission committee in most "low ranked schools" may overlook your undergraduate deficiency if you can obtain a good GRE score. The opportunity to boost your admission for a Master's and chance for funding still remains the GRE. You better take it because even if you escape the GRE and get an admission, you still have to prove to the consular officers during your visa interview that you are a good student and the only way they can know that is if you take the GRE. Even American who are high fliers in the US still take the GRE let alone one African lady from an unknown university with a third class degree. I am not yabbing you ohh. Just want you to see the reality and use your head. I know someone who got into a funded PhD program at Stanford University with a 2.2 and excellent GRE score, although she did have 4 publication though. You are better off doing a GRE than not. 11 Likes 1 Share |

dayoseun70: I will have to be blunt here. You were not delayed but denied because you are an intending immigrant. You just want to run away from naija. But even if you want to run away which I am not against cos of the situation in Nigeria presently, you still need to be smart about it. There are so many things wrong with your response. One thing you need to know is that first impression matters a lot. Firstly, when you are asked "Tell me about your program", don't go about reeling off information you discovered about the program from wikipedia. You need to sound unique and articulate. Go to the school or department website in question and do enough research. What is the program requirement? How many coursework, how many elective will you be doing? What courses will you be doing? Are you going to present papers during the program? Is there any seminar requirement? Is there a thesis requirement? Answer all these and you have what it takes to answer question like tell me about the program. Secondly, you were asked how many school you applied too? You stated two schools but think of it like this. The average American apply typically to 6 - 8 schools on the average. How come you from developing Africa is applying to just two lowly ranked or safe school. Even if you are better than Albert Einstein, you should reach out to more school with a mix of safe school and reach school. You should raise this number to atleast 5 schools even if it means saying you applied to schools in europe and UK. Thirdly, you were asked why point park over marshall, you started talking bunch of rubbish again. Please for anyone reading this, do not ever give the VO the impression that you are looking to solve problem in America or do even an internship work in the US during the duration of your program in the US. Yes, we all desire that international experience but do not ever mention it in the interview. How does fighting environmental challenge in Pittsburg got to do with improving Nigeria's condition, there are lot of environmental problems in Nigeria, gas flaring issues, ground water contamination, air pollution and environmental degradation etc but here you are "Captain Nigeria" coming to solve problem in Pittsburg by working tirelessly with Allegheny firm. You want to improve Pittsburg so that more tourist will come there whereas, you can work on improving air quality and environmental conditions for example in Nigeria so that it can be a tourist destination. I feel like giving you six stokes of the cane but make I reserve my anger for Buhari and our useless leaders. As a graduate student, you need to tie your reason for choosing one school over another to your research interest and that of your intended school. There has to be a link between your interest, the school's research capability, and the problem in Nigeria that an American education will solve. Because you answered the first three questions wrongly, it gave the VO opportunity to ask random questions like "Are you maried? Any children?". This is because your answer to the first three showed you are an intending immigrant and not a serious student, and you just want to run to America to become a liability to the US government thus he already profiled you in that category. Whatever, you answer after that is irrelevant. You have already been profiled as an intending immigrant. To further corroborate his point, he asked you "Any GRE?", you said NO. Guy, you are an intending immigrant and not doing GRE even though it is not required by the school in most cases is a ground or reason for denial. GRE and TOEFL is an "unspoken" requirement from a good student and a good candidate for a student visa. You need to work on alot of thing including how you answer his questions. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

engrlege: I do not have much to say about the undergrad admissions, however, as regards your younger sister who just finished from OAU, she has exciting prospects. If she has decent research experience, her best bet is to apply for a direct PhD. She needs a compelling SOP and GRE score within the 80% percentile. She can also apply for Master's and get lucky. Check out these profiles Glowrie22, Ndawe. You will also glean a lot from this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre NB: A lot of 'Top' schools have their deadlines coming really soon. She has to get every other application material ready ASAP, and book the earliest appointment for GRE to have a shot at admission and funding. |
