Gabby1234: What is the next thing to do now, because I don't know. Just here ooo Let's keep checking the calendar on the dashboard to see if they'd release some new dates in November / December. Alternative option is to pay another Visa application fee Did you attach your I-20 and SEVIS fee receipt when you applied for the emergency appointment? Also, are you within the 60 days of resumption? What reason did they give for your denial, or what do you feel? We are going to get a date soon. Let's just be prayerful, hopeful and be on the lookout. If you have anyone you can call too, do that. 1 Like |

Congrats bro please can you help me with a mock interview, my visa interview is fast approaching . thanks Ykxcels: I wish everyone going for interview tomorrow an open door of favor, a door no man can shut!
I appreciate everyone who has shared their transcript both approval and denial, and everyone who is always here to attend to questions in different shades and manner. All those efforts really help many people. Many who will not even come here to share. So I see it as a debt if I failed to share and contribute my own quota.
I started following this trend properly in May when I got admitted with fully funding for fall, and I had to follow through those arguments of embassy opening before August and all. I didn't defer my admission in faith of the embassy opening until my GPC mailed me to do so. I eventually have no option but to defer to Spring as he told me even if as got a visa mid of August it is going to be late already.
Fast Forward... Amidst of a lot of heartache and headache, I got a date through the email method
Visa Approved 6th November 2020 Lagos Consulate 9AM batch
Profile: GRE 311 Duolingo 110 First Class ELect/Elect Going for Master fully funded.
Got there around 6:20am, so it was a long wait but I keep confessing scriptures Rev 3:8 and Ps 102:13. I had little or no tension. After the initial Biometrics...getting to the VO
VO: Put you first 4 right fingers there...Me: I did, and greeted, Good morning sir VO: Good morning just a moment take off you nose mask, just a moment...I did
VO: Where are you going? Me: I am going to Norfolk State University for my masters in Electronics Engineering at Norfolk, Virginia. (I stopped for like a second, then I remember I have not finished my script play, I continued ) with my research focus on Bioinstrumentation and Control Systems.
VO: Which state is that?(May he thought I will say Norfolk State) Me: Virginia
VOSound impressed) Virginia...!! Do you have an undergraduate degree? Me: Yes, I studied Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University
VO: Electronic and Electrical Engineering, why you want to continue Me: (blanked headed, I said ) I am passionate
VO: Passionate!!! When did you graduate? Me: August 2017
VO: What have you been doing? Me: I graduate August 2017, I was mobilized for youth service in 2018, finished in 2019 and I have been working as a researcher at Covenant University, researching in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
VO: Who is sponsoring you? Me: I got a graduate assistanship which covers my tuition and living expenses, I will be working with Prof. XYZ on a research titled Nobel Labelfree Optical Imaging Approaches for Early Breast Cancer Detection
At this point I realized, I got the visa, he is already marking the yellow slip and picking the white paper
VO: Are you married? Me: No
VO: Do you have children? Me: No sir
VO: I will be approving you visa, go to window... Me(cut) Thank you VO: (Saw my excitement) continued...!
I was already taking off my nose mask before I remembered I am still in the consulate I had to compose myself to go pay my reciprocity fee, I was greeting my others as they come behind me to pay too, like 3 girls we had waited together outside for hours. There a many approvals like 80% than denial.
Thanks to Schrodinger for mock interview. Please take more mock interview than reading or self practicing. Also do mock interview for others.
Goodluck to everyone, I hope I will come here occasionally to answer question like many have been doing, I hope this will not be my last time here
