Visa transcript approved. Interview Date: 6th November, 2020 Interview time was 7am and got there 6am sharp and met a long queue. When I finally entered the interview hall, there was a man in window 7 who has been denying guys like I don’t understand. I kept on praying to God that he shouldn’t be the one to interview me. The next thing I heard was next go to window 7. Just had to calm myself down.

ME: No VO: I intend approving your visa bla bla bla Special thanks to Mr fairheart, Ejanla, Damilola Waco, Olasege, Mubarak, Tope, Gbenga, Moses and every other person who has in one way or the other assisted me in this hustle.

Visa Approved First I stood for 4 hours, my legs still hurt till now. But I guess it doesn't matter now. So when I got in there, I noticed that the guy at window 7 was just distributing rejection like kilode. I began praying that I skip him but for this kin thing luck no dey favor me. I kept faith sha. But I sha still landed on his table. When I got there he asked me to place my left hand on the scanner. I did and he couldn't get my finger print. We tried for a bit so I asked him, did you mean my left or right because you told me left. Then he apologized and said that he meant the right hand. VO: Where are you going to in the US Me: I am currently a graduate student of the communications program in the University VO: Why did you choose this school Me: The department has a concentration in organizational communication that align with my research interests. The profile of faculty members like and impressed me and consolidated my interest in the department. My graduate assistantship award that covers tuition and living expenses was the icing on the cake. VO: Where do you work Me: I work as a customer service supervisor in my organisation. VO: Have you ever traveled outside the country before Me: No, I have not had any reason to VO: Are you married Me: No VO: Do you have any kids Me: No VO: I intend issuing you your visa If I start to thank people, I'll run out of space. Fairheart, I have nothing but love for you. 40 Likes 3 Shares |

Visa approved 6th November 2020 Me: Good morning (Removes mask) VO: Good morning, Please put on your mask. We are going to start by taking your finger prints. After that was completed VO: So where are you going? Me: UIUC VO: Hmm, Urbana Champaign, why are you going there? Me: I'm a masters student in aerospace engineering at the university and I expect to resume on campus in the spring. VO: why did you select University of Illinois? Me: The program at the school has an interesting course structure that provides me with the opportunity to specialize in structural aerospace engineering which is a particular interest of mine. VO: who's sponsoring the program? Me: The department gave me a generous funding that comes with tution waiver and monthly stipend to cover for living expenses VOchecks my i20) What do you intend to do with the degree Me: I intend to use the degree and skills gained from the program to return to Nigerian and join the National Space Research and Development agency to (Vo cuts in) VO: Are you married? Me: No VO: Any children? Me: No VO: have you travelled out of Nigeria? Me: Yes. I've been to the US, UK, UAE VO: (pauses for a while) when was the last time you were in the US? Me: 2017 VO: I intend to issue your Visa Me:, Thank you VO: here are your documents blah blah blah Me: Thank you I noticed my interview was a lot shorter than most other people. I completed my interview before the two people in front of me on the queue. The Lady that's going for PHD in chemistry (knows a little too much about nanochemistry, likes mixing chemicals and has never blown up a building), I tried waiting for you but an officer told me to keep moving. I really hope your friend and the third guy with us also got accepted. I also noticed two things I thought I should share 1. After an applicant answered a question the VO asked, the next thing the VO said was "how long did you practice that speech?". He eventually got the Visa but I believe the VO tried asking questions he wouldn't expect him to have prepared for cause further down the interview, after answering a question, the VO asked whether he prepared that and he was like "NO" and The VO enthusiasticly said "Yeah I like it when we just talk". 2. An applicant who I think was going for Chemistry was asked what "entropy" was. He was also asked which had more entropy between "air" and one other option I didn't hear. Lastly, I observed there were more acceptance than rejection during my time in the hall. 35 Likes 1 Share |

Hello friend, I think I might have similar issue. I was recently admitted into BGSU for fall 2021 for a full time MBA program. The thing is I do not have funding yet and can’t really say I am sure I will get because nobody has reached out to me yet. Do you mind if we can discuss privately because it looks like you are quite ahead of me. 08132746801 Rabato: |

Have you rescheduled or previously canceled this appointment. I got same mail and was able to click on the expedited tab and filled the form. If you have previously done something similar (reschedule or cancel), it may be the reason why. Felizz: |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Peacock1234: 12:27pm On Nov 06, 2020 |
Kateyy: So sorry about this. I think the first step is being calm and confident because I know atimes when you notice plenty ppl have been refused, you may be tensed. I’m sure you will get it on your next trial. Don’t be too hard on yourself. God go with you on the next one 2 Likes |

Hello Everyone, Congrats to those that got their visas approved and hope everyone is staying stay. I have a question: I heard the Immigration Bill (No change of status) Trump passed in 2019 restricts Nigerian Non-immigrant visa holders from changing their status to Immigrant status. For example: An f1 student or B1/B2 visa cannot fall in love and or get married to a US citizen and eventually apply for and obtain a green card or citizenship while studying in the US? How true is this? Can someone please clarify this. Thank you. |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Ftos: 1:03pm On Nov 06, 2020 |
Kateyy: Next time you will get it in Jesus name. But when asked why the school, your starting shows a desire for "living" in a loving country with a loving environment, and not going for study. You don't put the first thing last!!! tHe time you should have spent in describing the alignment of a faculty research area with your interest was used 'dilly-dally'. 2 Likes |

Hey guys, It’s been a long time coming. Visa Approved on November 6th, 7AM batch. This is my third interview, I’d previously been denied twice. This was my easiest and simplest interview, Thank God! Me: Good morning ( I smiled, even though I was wearing a mask) VO: Good morning, we’ll start with your finger prints... VO: what are you going to do in the US? Me: I’m going for my bachelor’s degree in Biology at Edward Waters College, in Jacksonville Florida.(as calmly and as normal-paced as I could) VO types for a bit VO: what course again? Me: Biology VO: why Biology Me: Well, I love Biology (slightly smiled) also, I want to pursue a career in Biomedical research and Biology serves as a great foundational course me me. VO reads his screen for a longggg time VO: who’s your sponsor? Me: I have a full ride scholarship that covers my tuition, accommodation and all.... (pause) plus, My Dad will cover any other expense I might have. VO typesssssss VO: I intend to approve your visa, please keep your i20.... Me: Thank you so much. VO: I wish you good luck, thank you. One advice I’d give is to sound as natural and sincere as you can. The two VOs kept warning people against reciting crammed speeches or anything from the school website. One of the said ‘have a conversation with me’. Oh and wear comfortable clothes, I stood for a long time. Forever grateful to Mr Fairheart, even though I didn’t tell him about today�. He helped me the previous times and I'm grateful to everyone on this thread. God is real and God is good guys! Never doubt it. I pray you experience his Love and Grace like I have. 35 Likes 1 Share |
