dumbiri99: no go enter one chance ooo........ what exactly do you need all that drug for , also hope it not for you . Think about your liver Only take what absolutely necessary . if these are prescribed drugs then ok. if these are just caution or preventative drugs then maybe you dont need to have as much regarding one way then check with other banks. Some banks agree for PTA with one way ticket . I not not fully sure of other ways to get currency other than finding a trustworthy black market exchanger 1 Like |

Hello Guys! Visa Approved this morning at the US Consulate, Frankfurt. The consular officer allowed me to finish my sentences so I was really free to express myself. VO: Passport and I-20 please Me: I did as I was asked. VO: What are you going to do in the US Me: I am going for my Master’s degree in Ocean, Coastal and Earth Sciences at UTRGV VO: How did you find out about this school? ME: I got to speak with one of the lecturing staff of the University and my intended department during a geoscience conference in Lagos, Nigeria in 2018. He told me the department was looking for graduates of Geology for the new phase of their research and when I shared my Geology background and interests with him, he told me I would be a good fit and that I should apply. So I did further research on the school via Princeton review, usnews and other search parameters and I was satisfied so I applied. VO: Your bachelors is also in Geology? Me: Yes it is. VO: You got your bachelors from Germany or Nigeria? Me: Nigeria please. VO: When did you come to Germany? Me: April this year. VO: What are you doing in Germany? Me: I am currently studying Sustainable Mining and Remediation Management at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. VO: Why don't you want to continue this programme in Germany? Me: I put in for the Sustainable Mining programme here so I could research on the remediation of wastewater and heavy metals from mines but apparently the mines in Germany have been closed including the University’s experimental teaching mine where I am supposed to conduct my research. So it is no longer feasible to continue the programme. I believe going to the US at this time is a good call for me. VO: Who is paying for your programme? Me: Myself and my elder sibling VO: What will you do with this degree? Me: My career focus has always been in academia so the acquired training from this degree will strategically place me to take on a lecturing position at my alma mater (the University of Benin) as a researcher of environmental hydrogeology and I do have a competitive advantage here due to my recent work experience as a research assistant in the Department of Geology and also because the department only has one professor of hydrogeology that is aging and close to retirement. He would be glad to mentor me once more like he did as my thesis supervisor. VO: Sorry did you say you finished from Benin? Me: Yes, the University of Benin, Nigeria. Me: Sorry the Benin I mentioned is different from the country called Benin. Benin is a city in Nigeria as well. VO: Oh thanks for the correction. I actually thought you were referring to the country Benin. I'm sorry I'm not so familiar with places in Nigeria. (We both laughed). VO went ahead to tell me that it's just like that in the US. That Springfield is another confusing term that is up to 35 in the US. I quickly said "oh so you need to specify the particular Springfield you're going to in the US". To this, the VO said YES. We laughed again after she told me one of her Springfield experiences. VO: Alright your visa is approved.... VO: You did a good job answering all my questions. Please answer the questions same way at the port of entry okay. I smiled and said I will. Deficit - $30k No SOA 31 Likes 4 Shares |

victree007: I really look forward to when Nigerians in Nigeria will be respected by other countries. Imagine how friendly the conversation was in Germany. Here in Nigeria, you literally “beg” for the visa, and the officers are like Demi-god. It’s sad. Congratulations to you! Sorry I said all of that on your transcript. I’m happy you got it without stress. 6 Likes 1 Share |

iwriterng:It's fine man. Thanks for the wishes. I share your concerns too. I was just standing in line and the same thought was running through my mind. Visas were literally being granted in less than 2 minutes. At one point I didn't know when I said "ah ah" due to the approvals. Although I was the only one with a strange passport until I finished my interview. Every other ones were German passports. 2 Likes |

Funding 23k plus Deficit 24k plus Sponsor uncle PhD program. My approved Visa transcript. Well, some people say preliminaries ain't necessary. But I'll drop mine because I learnt a lot from others' preliminaries!! My interview was scheduled for 9am 29th July, Abuja embassy. I was previously denied in Lagos 11th June. From my experience in Lagos, I felt going early won't make a difference because they call us in based on out appointment time. However, I still decider to go early based on instructions and it was worth it!! Abuja was first come first served. So, I got to the embassy 6:30am and was even the first to be screened. I kept on speaking in tongues silently even while on the queue. It worked because I was very calm. Interview proper.. I was one of the first 5 the young man at window 7 interviewed. The first lady came with her parents and was approved but placed on AP. The next lady with full funding was denied when asked if she has study leave and she said no. The young guy in front of me going to see his uncle was also denied. VO good morning pass me ur i-20 and passport. Me good morning with a smile. I passed my i-20 first, wanted him to meditate a little on it before passing my passport. VO I need your passport too, (shows me a sample of what a passport is) Me in my mind I know what a passport is oga. So, passed passport VO (had a pleasant look) so why Virginia tech Me asides from the generous assistantship I got which I'm very grateful for, v tech is one of the top 3 universities for construction program in the US. (VO stops typing and was smiling and looking with rapt attention) v tech also has at her ........, a research community for intelligent construction and infrastructure. Infact, v tech has started a 75million dollars investment into expanding her research and teaching capacity in the are of intelligent infrastructure which will position her has the nations best in this area. VO types.. Looks at my i-20 and was like, so, your assistantship .. Your assistantship doesnt cover all your cost, in fact not all your tuition. So who will be paying for the rest? Me my assistanship will be renewed every semester as long as I meet the required performance and my uncle will be covering and deficit. VO OK. So, why will your uncle pay? Me. Well, my uncle and my dad were both geologist at ...... before I lost my dad last year January. VO said, oh, so sorry for your loss. (He wasn't even typing again, was just looking at me and listening) So, I said, you said what sir? Then he said, so sorry for the loss of your dad. I said thank you. So, after my Dad died, he has been the one sponsoring thru the remaining part of my masters, he paid they the application process and he's ready to sponsor me thru this PhD program. His aim is that I get established as a lecturer here in Nigeria. I kept on gesticulating with my magical fingers ![]() VO. Do you have anything like statement or so? Just something to show that he can sponsor you? Me. Yes. Passes statement. VO. Do you know if it's fraudulent your self and your uncle will be banned from entering the US? I said yes sure. With a big smile. He just opened the first page and returned it. Then he typed for a few seconds (well, that was the last time he typed ![]() He says, ok. So now let's talk about your sponsor. Me. At that point, I felt he has already approved the visa. VO what does your sponsor do? Me. He retired from being a geologist at ....and now a consultant geologist for multiple oil and gas firms and a ....... VO. So tell me about your RA duties Me. I tot, who told him say na RA. Anyways.. I will be working closely with.... Collecting and analysing data, working on how sensing systems can be used to construct intelligent buildings... VO cuts in.. You mean sensors? GIS or, me sef cut in ![]() VO. I've approved your visa!! Next person!! (Just the same way walepepe said it after our last mock ![]() ![]() He didn't even tell me story of picking up or keeping i-20 well ![]() All thanks to God!! I wasn't even asked some qstns I feared. It all went in my favour. Fairheart, thanks a lot o you made my transcript stronger. Walepepe, the last mock you did for me was da bomb! Texrem, thanks a mill too!! @sharwama, queen herself, thanks and God bless. So all thanks to God Almighty!! The author and finisher of my faith! Visa interview is 99℅ God and 1% prep! Pls pray well, its God that makes the qstns flow in your favour and He also has the heart of your VO. See you all at the top!! 24 Likes 1 Share |

olasijiayo: One is a document sworn under fiduciary agreement. It is legally binding and can be used to bind your uncle to pay if he at any point reneges on paying for you. The other (the letter) is just an expression of his desire. It can be used in court but it is not as binding as the former. Personally, the affidavit has more weightage. So if he is fronting as your sponsor, I will say the affidavit is better. |
