OK guys please dissect my proposed transcript. Interview is on 27th

VO: Good Morning(with a smile)
Me: Good Morning Ma,(with a smile)

VO: What are you going to do in the USA?
Me: I'm going for my Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics engineering at California State University in Sacramento.

VO: What is your study plan?
Me: I plan to take 32 credits in 24months to complete this program. I'll take 9credits in the first semester and spread out the remaining 23credits over the remaining 3 semesters. I'll be taking courses like research methodology, advanced analysis of faulted power systems, microwave engineering and so on.

VO: When did you finish your first degree?
Me: March 2012 from the University of port Harcourt. Studied electrical/electronics engineering

VO:What have you been doing since you finished?

Me: I completed my compulsory national service in July of 2013. Afterwards I got a teaching job in 2014 with a secondary school in Lagos as a mathematics teacher. I later moved to UBA In2016 where I worked as a customer service officer. Before my uncle offered me a job as an electrical support engineer with his company xxxxxxx oil and gas where I've worked from January of 2017 till date.

VO: Why did you choose the USA?
Me: The USA offers education of the highest quality. The country boasts of some of the best schools in the world. And graduates from the USA are knowledgeable, and employable all over the world. And being the number one country in the world, I am guaranteed a great learning experience and best practices to bring back home when I return home to Nigeria.

VO: So why CSUS?
Me: I'm going to this school because it's curriculum and courses are in line with my career goals. The courses are taught by well published faculty members. The learning system is cohort based, making room for students to learn from each other and establish professional relationships.

VO: What will this degree do for you?
Me: Firstly, this degree will give me a more in depth knowledge in electrical engineering than my first degree gave me. Secondly and most importantly, it will give me the necessary skills and qualification to become a successful university lecturer when I return.

open a getbater acct "getbarter dot co" and register. Create a virtual card, fund it then u can use it to make international payments etc.

LagosismyHome:


How big is your bank account or evidence to show you can support them ... if large then it helps .

pragya2017:



Thank you boss. The bank account is not a problem. Also how would i prove ties with homeland because my Kid is an American citizen already.

Flaame:
From the grammar some of us use and the questions most people ask here,it is just glaring that most of us aren't genuine students.....so to say,it is one of the reasons for high visa disapproval.

Predstan:



Have you been approved? You sound like you are well more experienced than those that their VISA were denied. Your Visa was denied sometimes ago, should I just say u weren't a genuine student that's why you were denied?

While I am not against what you have said. Just understand that even genuine students are denied Visa. Scholastica was also denied once before being approved in his second attempt.

uniquefurlife:
hmmm this one loud ooo.

Predstan:



Its not really loud. I just don't like to see people condemn others that are in the same shoes as they are. Some of them will argue and write against what experienced fellow have been through a long time ago.

A guy sometimes ago was arguing with fairheart but when I looked back at his previous post. He actually applied to Iglobal and was denied visa in May. I will not mention his monicker but I asked if he was talking from experience and he answered "YES". Since that day, I select people I take advise from. I don't just believe everyone that answers my question especially when they don't have proof of experience.

Flaame:
You simply denied urself by being unnecesarily persistent on being able to support yourself on a school that pays $63,417 even though u mentioned ur uncles help too. You shouldnt have even mentioned yourself in d first place. Come on bro,u are talking about paying about 26million per year,who would wanna sacrifice such money for his nephew,not even child? And I bet you had no form of assistanship...that is to say,scholarship. Your reason for denial is as clear as a mirror.

Predstan:


You see them dissecting transcript like they are dinning with the VOs. The school fee of that guy is just 48k. I don't know where the 63k comes from. Desist from all this nonsense and focus on your own. You can't lead someone to success if you have not had a good experience in that field or situation.

Nutshell44:


I don’t think you need that since it’s your mum, just go with her bank statement

deedorte:


Not sure you need that from immediate relatives.

Might be wrong though

Just $48K!!!!!!.. You do realize that that's almost the median yearly income of the average american family after tax. and you expect the citizen of a country with 70% below poverty line to splash that in one sitting. Yes, he may not dine with the VO, but these things are simple common sense, these consular officers receive constant briefing, trainings, and guide manuals; and trust me it's hard to believe that in a country where the average middle class folk is one hospital bill away from poverty has 12 million Naira stashed somewhere for an MSc. From a 3rd tier university.
.
There's a high rate of Nigerians consistently transferring their i-20's to community colleges once they arrive the USA, and the Department of Homeland security has been taking note.
