I have been a silent follower of this thread. VISA TRANSCRIPT School: Austin Peay State University Course: Masters in Biology Assistantship: $19200 Deficit:$8K Location: Abuja July 17th Time: 7.30am V.O: Pass me your i2o Why did you choose this school? Me: Apart from the fact that I was offered graduate assistantship which covers my full tuition with monthly stipends, it offers a perfect combination of my core interest in anatomy, cell and molecular biology and genetics V.O: who is paying the rest of the deficit? Me: My aunt V.O: Have you traveled out before? Me: No, I have never had the need to until now V.O : Are you married? Me: No V.O: What are your future plans? Me: I would love to work as a research scientist in a biomedical research institute such as the IHVN here in Abuja, Nigeria Institute of Medical Research so I can use the knowledge gotten from this degree on ongoing research that will enhance our capability to mitigate viral infections in Nigeria. V.O: I will be approving your visa ( I became partially deaf after that) Prepare well and pray as if you didn't prepare cos I was so stunned because of how short my interview was really. Thanks to everyone on this group , Lagosismyhome, time 2win,sharwama for her wonderful posts, slamcole (I got to know this guy from nairaland and he has really been a friend indeed even though i have not met him before. God bless you dear) and nelem for guiding me through my ds160, visa appointment. See you all in Trumpland! ![]() ![]() 28 Likes 2 Shares |

waynee2baba: If funding is important to you then a good GRE score will boost your first class profile and might be a good idea to write it. It opens you up to more schools options .GRE is taken by US graduates not to talk of any international graduate so really a British uni doesn't exempt If funding not important and you only want to target Michigan Tech then whether they waive it or not you just have to wait and hear what they say in their response back . |

judithstars: What do you intend to do with the MPH and after graduation. If it to go ahead and write Usmle and match then a cheaper school might have been better. Why pay 63k ? .... Even if to work with MPH if the target is USA then again why not find a cheaper school But if you are happy to pay 63k then hey why not In terms of red flag ... there no red flag here. If you can show affordability then that fine what left is for the Vo to say yes or no |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by judithstars: 3:47am On Jul 23, 2019 |
Thanks for your response. Honestly, i wanted a very good MPH degree hence my reason for applying to John Hopkins and Chapel Hill (big eye syndrome ...lol) but I didnt get funding in neither and my husband is ready to finance it. I plan to fully plunge into the public health field at some point in my career. LagosismyHome: |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by LagosismyHome(f): 4:02am On Jul 23, 2019 |
judithstars: I understand because it is a naija thing. If you can afford it maybe but if its almost going to swipe or beak the bank for your husband then hummm. To be honest there isn't much return for value doing MPH in those schools (in my opinion) but Naija never understand before they get it. It's after the program when they look back then ahh it becomes clear. But you want what you want . Best of luck If you do need a contact for Alumni after you gotten visa then pm me, I have friends who did MPH in the two schools mentioned, although not recent but they can give you a tip or two if you require it 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by oluezekiel(m): 5:27am On Jul 23, 2019 |
Why not apply to other schools? USF doesn't fund any of the MS (engineering) programs. And you're required to get an advisor to pick you or show interest before you can be admitted into the Ph.D. programs. If your quantitative is >75th percentile and your undergrad GPA is >3.5/4.0, I'd suggest you consider a Ph.D. if you're interested spaccleinc: 1 Like |

VISA APPROVED Location: Abuja Date: 17th, July 2019 VO: Young white american lady Level: Undergraduate. It was very scary because, she had rejected the undergraduate guy in my front. VO: How are you. Your I-20 and passport pls. Me: Good morning, (she answered and started to type). VO: Have you travelled a before? Me: No I have not. VO: Where are you going to? Me: I will be going to pursue my undergraduate degree in Psychology at PSC. VO: Good, so why this school, PSC? Me: PSC gave me the best scholarship and offer, in the sense that I was offered the Full Tuition and Fees scholarship which covers bulk of my expenses..(she cuts me and said)... VO: Sorry what is the student size of your school..(I said over a thousand, then she said) because I have not heard about it before, how many school did you apply to? (I said over 9, accepted to about 8 )... ...so go on, why this school?.. Me: Apart from the scholarship, I was placed on the Honors Academy, which exposed me to a more rigorous and challenging academic curriculum (by this time, I was already shaky in ny voice, fear hold me as she was typing fast)...the Honors Academy also will assigned me a Professor and an Excelling Senior in my major to guide me through undergraduate research and opportunities.. VO: (She started to type for a long time, maybe bcoz I talked much)...So who will be sponsoring your education?? Me: I got the Full scholarship and my uncle and aunt will be taking care of the additional cost (I was already talking a little scared with shaky, but very loud voice).. VO: Do you have a bank statement with you? Me: Yes, I gave it to her and she perused through it.. VO: (Started to type for long again)...So how did you get the scholarship? Me: It is a merit based scholarship based on academic achievement, leadership promises, personal statement essays and voluntary experience...it was demonstrated by my SAT score of 1280 and 3.8 GPA.. (my voice scattered small, but she was just typing)... VO: (looked at her laptop screen for long, I think because I wrote a very long and detailed explanation on what I have been doing and she started to type again for long)... So what have you been doing since, what is your work experience? Me: (talked scattered here, but very loud and bold)...I volunteered with a mental health organization which provided services for people with mental health issues..and also advocate that those persons enjoy same economic and educational opportunities as everyone else...(she cuts me by saying okay..).. VO: So what are your after graduation plans? Me: I will come back for my NYSC to take up an academic research job in an health institution to help develop Psychology as a standard major and also contribute to the mental health segment in Nigeria..... VO: Do you have any family in the US.? Me: Yes, a distant relative. VO: looks at her computer, types for a very long time..(meanwhile I was looking at the Green and White slips, scared of what next)... Gathered my documents and brings out a white slip, do well to pick up your visa in 3 working days .. Me: (I was deaf in the later part of the statement)...Thank you ma, have a nice day... Special thanks to all those who have made it a point of duty to contribute to making this thread a sucess. I have not contributed much, but I have been a silent follower of the thread since Part 7 (I think I started to read from part 7 to 15th, haha).. Ms. Sharwama, sorry I did not call back that night. I did not have airtime, but I can call you now. ![]() Mr Fairheart, I can not complete my story without adding how immensely you stood not only for me, but the other sucess stories we have recorded. God bless you sir. To everyone one out here, Grace will crown all your efforts, in Jesus name, Amen. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Tuesday 16th of July, 8 a.m Window 1, African American V.o V.o: I can see you are going to west Virginia University Me: yes V.o: I can see you are going for a masters in industrial engineering Me: yes V.o: why are you going for this course Me: I currently work as a production personnel in xyz and I want to become a production manager. I need to develop skills and knowledge in production optimization, production planing and control and inventory control. This course will equip me the needed skills. It is also the perfect blend of engineering and management which aligns my engineering background and my managerial aspirations. V.o: when was the last time you were out of Nigeria and for how long Me: I travelled to Germany last year January and I came back same January V.o: do you have any relative in USA Me: no, I don't V.o: who is funding your masters Me: I have a full tuition waiver and my sister who works in ABC will take care of the rest. V.o: your visa has been approved Me: thank you ( I didn't hear anything again at this point, I was too excited) Deficit : approx $21000 Funding is actually my sis and her husband but that is too much unnecessary information. Appreciation goes first to God, it is a miracle for me. Then my family members, especially my sis for their immense support and for not allowing me give up. Appreciation to the best friend a girl can ask for, Geedhey for been such a great support system. Appreciation to fairheart. He was very amazing and I don't take it for granted, for allowing me disturb you and working with my bedtime schedule lol and for even calling with your own airtime.
