VO: Where did you get admission?
Me: Mississippi Valley State University in Itta Bena, Mississippi State
VO: Why did you choose to study at this university?
Me: I chose to go to mvsu because of the diversity and cultural activities in the university, there is also a summer internship program they recommend for first and second year students which expose them to science and they also give out of state tuition waiver which makes it affordable for international students
VO: Why did you choose this course?
Me: I chose to study biology because it involves the study of life and living organisms which is something I had always been curious about since I was in high school and it is also a vast major which is going to be an advantage for me in securing a job in Nigeria
VO: How many schools accepted and rejected you?
Me: One accepted me and the other put me on a waiting list

Do you have someone in Mississippi?

sharwama:

Work was fine ooo
My colleagues and I worked our asses off to ensure worthy applicants got their visas approved I actually work at the consulate and the traffic was crazy this evening. I even just got home
Choi! Sharwama you can blow lie shaaa
When you finish putting the touches, please let me know. I might be at JFK or JC by then sef

You believe I’m still right here in the Embassy. I have to print out some approved Visas so that it can be dispatched on Monday... Many Nigerians were granted visa in the last few days you know

Davidkking:

Do you have someone in Mississippi?

Yeah.... But not in Mississippi Valley State University
I have friends in Alcorn State University

Predstan:

I am absolutely impressed by your hard work, my dear colleague. I am awake right now, sipping coffee and reading this thread just to decipher the new tricks these Nigerians have up their sleeves. Are you aware that apart from funding or some sort off tuition waiver and a professor xxxx research, some of them can't give better reasons why they picked a school? Is the embassy concerned about this coz the consulate is. We are no longer blown away by these responses, we need more substantial answers, more school-specific or program-specific responses, I mean responses that reveal in-depth knowledge and thorough research.
Well, have a productive week and cheers to us doing our jobs better and sipping more coffee

sheke01:


Just so you know, am having a hard time believing your "a promise of GA" statement. A VO would likely not believe it too and this might cast that tiny bit of doubt on your sponsor financial capacity to sponsor you. This tiny bit of doubt might lead to denial.

Questions like "why weren't you given the GA instead of being promised"? "What if the GA doesn't come, what would you do then"? will play in the mind of the VO.
You don't want to be seen as a potential "out of status" material if the GA doesn't come as planned

I'll suggest you don't mention that promise except you have adequate documentation to back up your claim.

You having multiple sponsors already cast some doubt on their sponsorship capacity

Just my opinion, am not a VO and would never be

Thank you brother /sister....
I'm really grateful for this. I'll fix that.

Hi, house my name is Harrison, I want you guys pls helpe on the link for family USA visa and procedures?

Was curious as to why your interview was so short and immediately went through your page and it is obvious that your denial was due to several mistakes that you made filling your first ds160 and also in your first visa interview which was not coherent the previous VO noted some issues and i think the recent VO saw and decided to refuse you. sorry but you were not prepared enough and your story was inconsistent in your first interview which has been noted in their system. All the new VO had to do was read through the previous of notes of why you were previously denied and deemed you an immigration risk leading to the denial. Also your going for an MBA without writing GMAT that is a not a very good sign, and rarely will a ranked MBA/ Business school will consider your application without GMAT. Do enough due diligence and research don't just apply because VO's know how the american education system works.But still Goodluck whatever u intend to do next.

Hello everyone, gurus and bosses in the house.

VO: How many schools did you apply to
Me: 2

VO: Did you take any test?
Me: No, it wasn't required but I had a virtual interview before I was given an admission

VO: Who's Sponsoring you
Me: My brother

VO: I see you've been here before, is there anything you want to add
Me: Well the last time I was still having my NYSC so I think that's why I wasn't granted but now I'm done, I want to further my education.

VO: I'm sorry you're not qualify then she gave me a pink paper

Also your going for an MBA without writing GMAT that is a no no and no top ranked MBA/ Business school will even look at a your application without GMAT. Do enough due diligence and research don't just apply anyhow thinking VO don't know how the american education system works. As for intending your Canadian application i wish you good luck but also want to warn you that canadian study visa is even more tricky than us study visa. But still Goodluck whatever u intend to do next.

Thank you...i will work on it

Adebanjo669:


Thank you...i will work on it

My thoughts:

Hope you filled the education section on the DS form carefully?
When did you finish high school, and what have you been doing since then? How old are you, since it's a BS degree?
Were you offered a significant scholarship? If not, why have you chosen to do your BS in Yankee, when you could easily study this course in Naija at a fraction of that cost?

Prep for these questions also. Best wishes.

He just mentioned that the school didnt require any test but he did a virtual interview with the school. Are you saying he should have gona to write a test that wasnt required by the school He is applying to? I have my interview tommorow, mba, no test was required by my school, gmat, toefl, ielts, or any exam. Although i have an expired toefl. So what do you advice i do or say when im being asked if i took any test for the coursr im applying for?

hello everyone,can someone refer me to religious visa thread, or can someone put me through,what I need to know about it.thanks

Honeysweetest:

I don't think you will find anything like that. it's either you are going for a visit or you are going for studies (religion inclusive). This thread is for students visa

I think the transcript of a denied Visa is a lot more valuable than an approved one. We learn more from failure than from success. Before ordering for a product, I prefer to read a 2 or 3 star product review instead of the 5 star reviews. 5 stars reviews could be bought or incentivized.

An approved transcript quickly rakes in 20 likes n several quotes but a denied transcript nko? And we wonder why people don't post.

On face value, It gives the impression that this community is one which reward success and do not really want to associate with failure.

People denied, biko, post your transcripts too. At d least, members here can suggest improvement. If u we're denied more than once, post d previous denial too. Members can help trace the problem.

I know there are lots of unreported denials. Stop hiding your problems, this is a faceless forum.

And please, let's stop tampering or sugar-coating d transcripts. It could make another person feel as if they are not good enough or feel less of themselves. Post it as it is or as u can remember.

Sammy please check your DM.

sammybtc:
Status: Visa approved July 1st, 2019
School name: Western Illinois University
Funding: GA with $9k deficit
Sponsor: Uncle

VO--Good morning
ME--Good morning ma/sir

VO--Pass me your passport and I20, please?
ME--I did

VO--What would this degree do for you?
ME-- (I was shocked because I wasn't expected that to be my first question)I really want to be a professor, having acquire Bsc getting a masters degree will help me to achieve my career goal

VO--How many schools did you apply to?
ME--I applied to 2 schools; WESTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY MACOMB ILLINOIS, UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS TENNESSEE.

VO--Why did you apply to 2 schools
ME--Both schools gave me admission quite early so I did not bother to apply to any other schools

VO--(angrily) I said why
ME--I repeated the same answer

VO--(She kept nodding)okay, so tell me what you will be doing for your assistantship
ME-- I will be grading, tutoring, taking attendance and preparing academic instructional materials

VO--(she keeps typing seriously for like 2mins)
ME--(while I was standing forming mumu smile)

VO--At this point, I will be approving your visa
ME-- thank you ma.

Thank you all for selfless services rendering here. Without nairaland, I wouldn't have had an easy journey.

I support the last speaker. If you did not understand, what he means is that you should not bottle up your visa refusals. I don't know you, you don't know me, so why the shame? If a patient presents the wrong leg for treatment, the problem is still there. Brave it and post your experience as it is and by so doing achieve your travel dream.

My Intention was not to discourage but to advice. Most reputable MBA programs usually require gmat and that is the standard and the VOs know this if you come to them for an mba without gmat they are likely to deem you unserious, Business schools are expensive so it is expected that you know and do all research when looking to go for an mba.Usually schools that don't require gmat for admission are usually low ranked or even blacklisted schools. My advice for applying for mba programs is to write GMAT and only apply to the top 50 or top 100 schools using us news and world report you can check for them and also tally your gmat score with the average score of their admitted class. But there are also some instances here on nairaland that people get approved without writing gmat. All in all wish you the best in your interview tomorrow hope you can share the outcome with us. As for advice on what to do just simply say the truth if asked about the gmat " your school did not require it ".

Hello wonderful people.

I'm back again o from part 14

https://www.nairaland.com/4672093/general-u.s.a-student-visa-enquiries-part/316

[b]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 smiley ).

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 angry

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&grin 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!!![/b]

I have taken GRE test.
I had 297
I plan on taking another but will be as soon as I get the test fee (Sept-Oct-Nov)
I am settling fully for msc/phd Med Chem (I give up on Chem Engr since I can't get full funding anyways, because engineering funding is not for this kind of GRE package)

Please, advice me if I can still move on with application based on this result, which school would most likely grant full funding and what are my chances?

I'll appreciate your advice.
Thanks...

Every successful person has a painful story, so never give up. A school bell that sounds as a disturbance at 8:am also sounds interesting at 2:pm... it's just a matter of time..so Don't envy anyone. Not everyone walking fast has an appointment. Some have running stomach!.

..If a rose smells better than tomatoes, It doesn't mean the rose can make a better stew. Don't try to compare yourself to others. You also have your own strength, look for it and build on it. All animals that exist, were in Noah's ark. A snail is one of those animals. If God could wait long enough for snails to enter Noah's ark; His door of grace won't close till you reach your expected position in life. Never look down on yourself, keep looking up. Remember that Broken crayons still color_. Keep on pushing, you never can tell how close you are to your dream.

As fall session is approaching we await more Approval this month. Let's go get the Visa!

Have a great week ahead...

Alright. Thanks. Btw, the course i applied for is BBA not MBA. I was tensed while i was typing before. Lol.

Milnes:

Lol okay,it’s just the total amount stated on your 1-20 for 9months,Now if given some/any form of assistanship,subtract it from the total,the remaining is the “deficit”..hope it helps.
