Akins345: Corpus Christi Airport would have been the closest and most convenient, but am sure it will be very expensive. I will suggest Hobby Airport, Houston. |

Lamzee: Wait, are you going for a second degree or what? If yes, it’d be advisable to go for a masters degree instead; GRE and toefl are needed tho cuz I believe SAT is meant for undergraduate |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by Kheake(f): 12:19pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
Good morning all, my visa was approved at the Lagos Consulate this morning at about 9:30am. I am so grateful to God and everyone who has posted their transcripts here, thereby making it easier for other people like me to learn and avoid mistakes. My interview was for 6:30am but I forgot my passport photograph at home so the CGI team directed me to take passport pictures before I could go for the interview (had to pay 2k). After finger printing, I had spotted a young white guy who was wearing natives and I was hoping I could interview with him because it seemed to me that he would have more empathy compared to the rest (seeing that he liked our culture enough to wear our native �, ....I may have been wrong tho) Anyway, I was directed to him (my first victory �) and there were 2 families before me and they both got their visas, the second family was a mother and a daughter but he denied the daughter and gave the mother saying that the daughter is an adult, the babe is 25 yrs and she can apply in her own capacity and I thought she wasn't very audible. So straight to my interview: Vo: good morning Me: good morning Vo: what program are you going for? Me: Master of Arts in Economics vo: so what school are you going to? Me: Western Illinois University Vo: why this school ? Me: (I had 5 points I had noted to say, but I got so carried away with the first one that I didn't mention others, I tried to dwell a lot on the first one tho, cos I think it was my strongest point). During my application process, I noticed that the school has a unique graduate track system. What this means is that, while I will be trained in the fundamentals of graduate level economics, I will have the opportunity to select other courses that align with my goal. I wanted a program whose curriculum was interdisciplinary and Western Illinois is providing this opportunity for me. I wanted a program that would allow me study other entrepreneurial courses besides fundamentals of Economics. Some of the courses I will be taking are Economics of Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial experience and this is because of my role at my place of work where I interact with several business women who are passionate about their businesses but don't know how to go about it. By the time I go for this course, I will be better equipped to serve them. Vo: where do you work and what's your role ? ( I think he was asking so that he could understand the link between my current role and why I was going for a masters program in Economics ) Me: I currently work in a bank and I manage and coordinate the trainings, capacity building and networking sessions for the women market program in my bank. I also forge partnerships and new alliances to add value to the women we serve. (I quickly tried to link what I currently do at work with my reason for going for masters in Economics). Given my role and because we cater to a large spectrum of women including business women, When I interact with most of these women, I realize that most of them are passionate about their businesses, but don't know much about finance, budgeting, going global, the need to collaborate , they don't even know where to start from. Prior to joining the bank, I already had a career plan to spend 4 years at work, go for a 2 years master program and come back to spend another 4 years before starting my own consulting firm to help business women grow their businesses and go global. Vo: what is your highest level of education ? Me: Bachelor in Education, Economics (I stuttered a bit here) Vo: how many schools did you apply to Me: 4 Vo: what are the schools? Me: Western Illinois University, Eastern Illinois University, Montana State University and Virginia State University. Then he notices something, (apparently, the last time I went for an interview, when I was declined, I had applied to Canadian schools and I had told the lady interviewing me that I applied to Canadian schools. And she quizzed me a lot about applying to Canadian schools, I couldn't convince her as to why I couldn't choose any of the other Canadian schools instead of western Illinois, I am pretty sure she must have noted this on my profile because she didn't seem convinced ). So he asks Vo: did you apply to any other schools before now? Me: yes, when I was applying during fall, I applied to 2 Canadian schools, but this time around, I decided to focus my energy on US schools. Vo: what year did you graduate? Me: 2010 Vo: what have you been doing since you graduated? Me: following my graduation, I went for my youth service and after my service I started working with the bank. Vo: what year was this? Me:2013, I have been with the bank since 2013. Vo: who is sponsoring your education? Me: my dad Vo: what does he do? Me: he is an engineer who works with in an engineering firm. His firm provides support services to telecommunications giants like MTN, Huawei Technology. He does a lot of installations, trouble shooting, procurement and vendor supplies. Vo: do you have your financial documents here? Me: yes, I do (I reach for the statement and hand it to him) Vo: (skims the first page) there is no name on this statement Me: (In my mind, Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, how won't there be a name) there is a name on it then I call out my dad's full name Vo: oh I see it now , do you have a more recent statement, this statement has been issued since September Me: oh! I don't have a more recent one right here . This was the one I used for my I 20. Vo: okay don't worry, have you ever travelled outside Nigeria before ? Me: yes, I have been to the United Arab Emirate Vo: what year was this? Me: 2016 Vo: are you married ? Me: no Vo: do you have any kids Me: No Vo: where would you be staying? Me: campus Vo: okay, I will be approving your visa Me: ( I thought I was going to go momentarily deaf like I read here, but I didn't ). I felt as if I was in a dream, I couldn't believe it So he hands me the white paper and circles a portion and said something about Email and SMS. I was so happy that I told him thank you and have a merry Christmas, he smiled and said you too. Up until I got home, I felt as though I was at lala land. . . . My 2 cents: Pray as if that's all that counts and prepare as if that's all that counts Read as many transcripts as possible, when I went for my first interview, I wasn't coming to NL but after I was declined and someone sent me past transcripts, I started coming here to read the transcripts and I was able to learn from so many of them. I kept praying for favor, tried to give more including tithe, woke up at night to pray more and also read far and wide. My watchword was psalm 126:1-3 and indeed when he approved my visa application it felt like a dream. I pray that God grant other people's heart desires as well. Now it's time to book flights, get immunizations and prepare. 38 Likes 5 Shares |

Hi guys. Please I wish to migrate to US with my wife and kid. We work and reside in Dubai, UAE but we wish to move. I really need you candid advice pls and the best way to go about it. Some said moving wth family is an advantage while some said I should try to move first. We are honestly considering US or Canada. Is it something I can do on my own or I need an agent. What are the prerequisites? I kindly need an honest answer pls and probably from an experienced person. Thanks |

[center]AP Changed to Issued [/center] December 11 was strictly a denial and an AP day. Aanexplus and others can relate. When I almost heard your visa has been... The VO said I'll have to place a check on your documents and get back to you in few days. Mehn! I check my status every 2hrs, AP may appear worse than outright denial because you're practically stuck until they respond. He collected every damn document (Certificate, Transcripts, Professional Licence, GRE, TOEFL SCORES, Account statements...) Interview at window 7 Me: Good morning, how was your weekend Vo: Good morning, pass me your documents Vo: Tell me about the program Me: I'm going to WCU to pursue my masters degree in public health, it's a 2yr and 45unit course, I'll offering 24units of core courses and 21units in my major, some of the courses include Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Transcultural health, Behavioral health.... After the program, I would come back to Nigeria to establish my community pharmacy and partner with NGOs or Federal ministry of health. Vo: I don't see any relationship between this degree and coming to establish a community pharmacy. Me: no, this degree focuses on preventing diseases, promoting health and prolonging life. These are what I do on a daily basis at a community pharmacy Vo: Nodded, okay...started checking my job description on DS160. Tell me your duties at your place of work Me: I manage and oversee the smooth running of the pharmacy, I'm involved in procurement and inventory management of medications, I counsel clients on the appropriate use of medications. Vo: did you take GRE, tell me the breakdown Me: I did. Vo: Tell me the prescriptions you fill Me: I wasn't expecting that, I told him I fill prescriptions for OTC (over-the-counter) drugs such as aspirin, paracetamol, POM(prescription only medicines) antibiotics, opioids...cuts in Vo: who's paying for your trip Me: my dad and uncle Vo: what do they do Me: told him Vo: do you have their account statements Me: yes Vo: lemme have them, give me GRE results. What other documents do you have? That's how I gave everything Vo: gave me white paper and said he'll be placing a check on them. People were congratulating me and asking me to 'wash' it for them.. They always think once you are not with you passport, you've gotten your visa. I couldn't wash my AP then but now I can. All thanks to this great thread. My conscience will keep disturbing me if I don't share this transcript. Wishing all the new applicants, the very best in their interviews. Peace! 12 Likes 2 Shares |
