Just a point of order...but it seems we are gradually derailing the thread. A lot of professionals are now on the thread dishing out disparaging remarks to people that just got denied without any soft landing. Even to the point of saying you will be denied again. Let's get things right.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Going through transcripts from part 7 for my own interview..I read the compiled denied visas. And their opinions were a bit mild than what will have now. They gave reasons for denial...tips for the next interview and words of encouragement. And to those beating on people to drop transcripts it will be done on their pace. 17 Likes |

Sigh... so much wrong with this... 1. It’s clear you are not interested in going to school. You chose SUBR over Texas A&M? 2. You have zero clue why you chose your major. 3. You’re not clear about your intentions after school. 4. You obviously can not afford the cost and you were not prepared to defend that at your interview. 5. Like many here, you are too focused on the short term... you lied that your dad will be your sponsor, you knew he didn’t have the funds, you thought you could cover that by using your uncles’ SOA. Who are you fooling? 6. You lied about going for your NYSC. Why? What would bring honest cost you? I hate to be negative but people like you seriously get my hackles up.

You sold yourself away that you could not pay for the fees. If at all you're mentioning your 10K funding, say it along with the sponsor that is covering the remaining. DO NOT REGRET YOUR CHOICES WHEN IT'S TIME FOR THE INTERVIEW, THERE IS NO POINT. You knew your uncle was your sponsor, but you were afraid to state that coz of the denials that have happened with it. People Get Approved With Uncle. You just need to present the best out of your situation, and do it with courage. You said your Dad when you don't have his statement. All the responses sound cooked up... From the schools you chose & got into to NYSC & your sponsor...The VO may have noted on the system that you were not at all a genuine applicant, so I'm not sure what advice to give for your next interview (changing what you said in the next interview is also not good). Try applying to other countries. |

Imagine someone telling the V.O that his uncle told him to lie but he doesn't want to lie, is he expecting a sympathy from the V.O?

VO: where are you going? Me: I’m heading to the University of Houston for my PhD in Physics. I’d be specializing in seismic physics.
Types furiously for like forever….
VO: why did you choose this school? First, because of the research fit. There is a strong research overlap between my research interests & that at the University of Houston. I’d be working with prof….. Of the Mission oriented seismic research lab. Together we’d be working on seismic data processing & analysis……..said some other stuff. Secondly, UHouston is in Houston which is energy capital of the world. This will provide access to research internships etc. I also intend to use UHouston’s international networking resources as I transition from graduate studies into a professional career. This will enable me take up research scientist roles in the industry or take up lecturing position in academia anywhere in the world. A PhD from UHouston, I believe is the beginning of a successful research & academic career. ....spoke quite fast here & demonstrated with my hands
