I also want to ask a question on the ds-160 form which says " your intended period of stay in the USA " should I still answer it by saying 2 years knowing fully well that my course will take me up to 2.5 years.

You cannot make the payment here in Nigeria. You will have to look for someone outside Nigeria to make the payment for you.

Time2win:


Just use your new sevis ID for all the forms you are filling

In that case I dn't need to pay a new SEVIS fee,right?

Thanks to everyone here who helped me one way or the other.
I really appreciate you guys. Here goes my transcript

Vo: Good morning
Res: Good morning sir
Vo: Pass me your passport and I-20 pls
Vo: Have you traveled on another passport before?
Res: no sir
Vo: can I have the passport
Res: I said no sir
Vo: oh sorry I didn't hear that clearly. Why are you going to Austin Peay?
Res: Am going for my masters in computer science and quantitative methods with a concentration in information assurance and security but on my l-20 it was written there as Data modeling...(he didn't allow me to finish the statement)
Vo: that's ok. How do you want to pay for the cost?
Res: I was offered a graduate assistantship that waived my entire tuition with monthly stipend the rest of the cost will be taking care by my uncle who's into importation trading and distribution of LG brand both home appliances and electronics. I have his statement here with me
Vo: that's OK... I won't be needing the statement. The assistantship has covered everything. Where did you finish your undergraduate (I guess he asked that because I couldn't enter my educational history on my ds 160 when I was filling it. I don't know why the part is not coming up on my system.)
Res: Osun State University.

Vo: Why do you choose Austin Peay State University?
Res: I chose Austin Peay State University because they offered broad courses in information assurance and security. Their program incorporate field work with basic course. For example.. (he stopped me here)
Vo:thats OK. How did you get this assistantship?
Res: I applied then I was scheduled for a Skype interview, a week after the interview I received an email from the department that based on my performance during the interview, my gre scores, my undergraduate cgpa and recommendations, the department was willing to offer me the assistantship.
Vo: what do u intend to do after your study?
Res : ( but I thought he asked what the degree will do for me, so responded with this �with the look of things in Nigeria cyber crime and attacks are becoming common place, sophisticated and damaging. Every organisation has (he stopped me and asked again)
Vo: what do you intend to do after your study?
Res: I'll be coming back to Nigeria to enforce whatever have learnt because there's a huge demand for cybersecurity experts here in Nigeria. A lot of organization outsource for this skill b[i][/i]ecause its professional expertise... (he stopped me here,thats OK)

After this he started typing non stop and said the word *your visa has been approved, you will need your l-20 at the port of entry bla bla.
I collected my passport today.

Congrats bro....
Nice to meet someone from my alma mater

Merico96:

Your responses were too broad and vague. It lacked depth. However, I see that the VO kept cutting you off and wouldn't let you finish your statement. My guess is, based on your online visa application, she may have seen some discrepancies and wasn't just convinced. I always tell people to fill those forms really well. Also, when you're giving you responses, kindly do away with "It is because". Just go straight to the point. And telling the VO that the US education system is the best is so cliche. Trust me, they know those are rehearsed responses.
Your "Why did you choose this school response", Try as much to start with a unique answer. For example, This course will give me the necessary skills to plan and coordinate patient services. I have a keen mind and a gift for organization and would like to apply blah blah in the service of humanity. Your response about wanting to save people's lives is a faux. You are not the caregiver. Just my thoughts. I may be wrong. Good luck on your next interview.

domex007:



dont even go there, they will discourage you.
I went there after my second visa denial and the woman used me as example to other students. walspring can relate .

In education USA at the embassy they say you cant study in the US if you are using GCE result,
you cant study in the US if you have been denied US visa before
you cant study in the US if you have been out of school for more than 6 months or there about
you cant study in the US if you dont have a direct sponsor
and of course you cant study in the US if you are using OLUWOLE BANK STATEMENT

EducationUSA said i was not qualified to study in the US but to God be all the glory i am in the US now with a GCE Result, 3 Previous Visa denials, been out of school for more than 3 years and my uncle that we dont bear same last name is my sponsor.. (i wish i had their number i would have called them to tell them to stop discouraging Nigerian students)

you can go to them for extra knowledge but DONT LET WHAT THEY SAY DISCOURAGE YOU,. GOOD LUCK

I sent you pm

Hi everyone. It's been a while! I remember how my journey started in 2015. This forum was my training ground. Till date when anyone wants information from me on how to pursue their academic dreams in the US, I refer them back to this forum. All you need is patience. Congrats to everyone who got their Visas and good luck to those still in the process.

Between, any Nairalanders in Maryland/Washington, DC? I just moved from Texas and looking to make new friends!

A lecturer asked me to submit my paperwork Asap and I became a bit confused as I have submitted every document Sop and co,togethet with my transcript.
Please what am I expected to submit or have I submitted what he asked me to?
Thank you for your quick response.

He is actually referring to your resume and personal statement

Wow wow wow!!!
I'm so glad to jam this forum this morning in my despiration and in Yoruba (Nigeria ti su mi) meaning I'm tired of Nigeria.
I saw the previous parts (or should I say seasons ).

Please, I know my questions might not resonate with the current flow of issue on this platform but try and help a brother build hope again and provide guidance. God help us all.

I graduated from FUNAAB 2017
BSc Chemistry, CGPA 4.47/5.0
Finished NYSC 2018

I do Have a resilient passion for MSc in Chemical and Process Engineering and if not together, only Chemical Engr will do in the U.S. (BSc Chemistry is eligible for MSc Chemical Engr ), Due to my no sponsor at all situation, I would need a concrete assistanship over there and I go survive somehow. I know you guys understands the step by step strategies of abroad schooling. Abeg help your brother

Since July 2018, job job job, ( to gather money for GRE and TOEFL cause people say it is needed) but No!!! All my country industry want is a Chemical Engr... Most of them... And I wouldn't let go of the Industry, it's my dream to be a Chemist for industries, proceed to being a process and R& person, formulations and Co. And the Engineering part will cover up for BSc Chemistry weaknesses

I have made up my mind to gather the money for those exams by God's grace.

So friends, as u can see I need a thorough foundational knowledge on MSc in the US. I've got to further. And I'm 25 will be +1 this June. Time is running.
The best give u can impart to me now is Knowledge... It will *MAKE* me

THANK YOU FRIENDS....
WILL BE ANTICIPATING YOUR HELP...
GOD BLESS YOU!!!

There is more funding for msc chemistry and it's less competitive than chemical engineering. There are some schools that don't require GRE for MSc chemistry but you will hardly see any engineering program that doesn't require GRE in USA. My advice is for you to stick with MSc chemistry so you can get funding easily but if your passion is engineering, prepare for GRE and give it a try.
