Hope the interview is not as soon as November? Because you still have a lot of loopholes to cover up. Ain't a guru but I know when you are getting it wrong from personal experience garnered so far.

I know others will also contribute, but take this little piece along with what ever they add.

What happened to Why USA?

Why Nursing?

Also, the response to the question, "What's your study plan?" You are not to even say "depending on my GPA", who says that? I mean the VO might not wait for another second before handing over the blue paper to you. It definitely shows you ain't brilliant enough to study Medicine or whichever course it could be. Haba!! You must be convincing enough to show you are gonna make it top of the class, which I believe you can.

Also, how dare you say "depending on my guardian's opinion" ? If you can graduate top of the class, then you need not ask for your guardian's consent to continue, s/he will be glad to give his/her best to ensure you continue your studies, although I may not be fully right with this, but that remains my own opinion.

Why did you choose Baltimore?
Uhmmmm, any reputable institution will do what you just mentioned, I have seen several times 100kobo and Lagosismyhome, mentioning that you should try to be program specific when giving reasons for choosing a particular school. It shows you have done your research.

When did you finish secondary school?
Don't mention your parents' inability to make available what you think you need to succeed academically, that doesn't sound right to me, although it's a personal decision. But when did you write your A level exams? Will you be presenting it at the interview? Then, it means you were working at your uncle's hospital, spending some time to learn the basics of Nursing before taking your A level prior to applying to a school in the US. Isn't it?


Vo: So you intend going for an associate degree then you will transfer ?
Me: Yes sir

This last statement counters what you mentioned earlier, as you said you are not sure of your next move after graduation.
So, you need to be careful of what your responses as VOs try to play pranks on interviewees.

I ask again, hope you ain't going for the interview as soon as November, if yes, you need a lot of reformation and practice to get the visa issued, well, I just remembered you never mentioned "Who will be sponsoring you?

Success. I long to see your visa issued transcript.

Predstan:


Is there any other Rice University in the US because the last time I checked for requirements, they ask for GRE and with quantitative score of 166

Humble11:


Depends on the course

100kobo:

So many potholes, not one, not two. I wouldn't know when you wish to apply. I would rather you're not in a hurry to do so. Concentrate more on compiled Transcripts and watch you spot the "potholes" yourself. This Thread is such a blessing and repository. It's a pity many have elected not to take the time to rummage through it.

Yours is still work in progress and with a little more effort, you'll get it right.

brightify:
my friend was admitted two years ago without GRE,maybe they just added that to their requirements,but check praireview A&M university,they don't require GRE but they require toefl and ielts

Rytefish:


How will she go about this, please?

But why is Humble1 claiming not editable after submission? I just need to know.

100kobo:

Your mum would be your perfect sponsor. Now why is her account good to only obtain i-20 and can't serve for the main interview?

Lastly...Pls NO body should agree to consular taking their bank statment on AP if you know it's not real.
Pls and pls am talking out of today's experience. My friend we do both attend education USA got his visa last week Thursday and they told him that do you want us to check your bank statment ans confirm thr funds are real and he said yes.(In his mind he said they wont have time to check)If found fraud do you know you can be banned for 10 years.He said yes that they should go on with it and he gave it to them.Today he just called me that they refused him the visa when he colleted his passpor from dhl and am sure his automatically banned like that. Pls lets be careful.I am soo sad for him right now.10 years is like forever.

Okay. Here it is...........
V.O: I can see you are going to UNCG for a masters in peace and conflict studies?
Me: Yes,i am.
V.O: Why UNCG
Me: the major things i looked out for when applying was a school that offers my course,an affordable state, and the school's reputation. UNCG offers my course and an area that best fits my interest (negotiations and mediation), and its also one of the most prestigious US state owned universities and the students to faculty ratio is 18.1,which for me is a very good academic standard. North carolina on its own is one of the most affordable states in the country, and the standard of living there is great. And so for me, UNCG ticked of all my boxes in those areas.
V.O: did you apply to other schools , and where you accepted by all?
Me: answered in the affirmative.
V.O: Who is your sponsor?
Me: my dad and my maternal uncle.
V.O: What do they do?
Me: (explained to her)
V.O: (asks for their statements). She goes through it, and points out the part where my mum transfered a lump sum to my dad 2 days before the statement was printed. She asked who it was, and i explained to her that it was my mum.
V.O: i will be holding on to your passport and financial documents for further validation. You will be contacted in 3days. ( No white slip, no blue slip or even the pink letter)
An hour later i checked my status, and it was REFUSED.

Miirrahh:
Hello, good morning. I've been seeing your username a lot especially when it comes to preparing for the us visa interview. My F1 visa was denied on Tuesday.
Could you help put me through please? Thank you.

LagosismyHome:


Sorry to hear this .. my schedule is so busy that i dont do trabscript anymore . Please reach out to others

sheke01:


You were only asked one important question "Why UNCG" and you didn't really do justice to the question. You gave a lot of generic points that didn't help to explain why you chose UNCG among all the schools in North Carolina. I guess so many schools in NC are offering your course with negotiations and mediation concentration, there are other affordable states in the US, and there are other prestigious state owned schools. Faculty ratio is a generic response that the VO would have heard a million times and a great standard of living shouldn't really be a determining factor that influences a student to choose a school over several others. At least from a VO point of view.

Why this school is a very common question that is asked at the start of almost all interviews, but sadly applicants give a very generic answer to this question. Response to "Why this school" should focus more on stuffs this school has that would aid you in achieving you academic dream. You should give specific examples too and not just generic response

Visa interview is a very short interview and you would want to create a good impression with the response to your very first/second question.

In my opinion I think your response to the "why UNCG" marred your chances and all other questions were just asked for asking sake. Work on your response to this and refire. hopefully you will get your visa at the next attempt.
Hope this helps, Adios

My transcript is just like the regular ones everybody has read on this platform.

(first interview)

Me: Good morning madam
V.O: Nodded. Pass me your I-20 form and passport pls
Me: did
And every other questions were basically on my statement of account which was retained with the passport, scrutinized and I was told I will be banned for life if it turns out false. To which I was affirmative and said she should go ahead and do the background checks.
VO: she gave me a white form thereafter

Sunday, got a call from the embassy for a re-interview on Monday.
(2nd Interview)

VO: I've checked ur documents and you came out clean. Congratulations. When you get to the US, don't get involved in anything illegal and ensure you maintain your status to avoid troubles.
Me:Thank you Ma.
VO: Issued another white form to me,congratulated me again and wishes me luck.

Conclusion: Honesty and confidence are the keys. Also, pray for God's favour. I made a mistake with my DS160, putting my residential address for my place of birth, but all these never count against me during the interview, although I was going to explain myself truthfully that I made the mistake as a result of using Google autofill in order to avoid consistent running out of session during the registration.

But thanks to this platform for everything they have done to help honest average Nigerians.

lextube:
Hello all,

Please I have submitted my DS-160 form, booked for an appointment which will be on the 5th of December, and I will be attending Touro College New York City.

I have some few questions that are quite disturbing me and I see them as issues that may affect my chances, that's why I want to discuss here with anybody here that is willing give me sound advises.

My parents are old and have retired in the US with my Uncle who is citizen, but my parents don't have papers and are not working there. I want to know if this can affect my chances of getting a student visa?

I am married but with no Child yet. In my application I indicated that my parents are in US but I don't their status. Is this also ok?

Thank you very much.
