Congratulations to you sis
Please need help in this area as well. My email: predam2010@yahoo.com
Will appreciate your feedback Good Afternoon House. @fairheart @walspring @adetbecca and @tesla, please I joined nairaland because of this platform. And I have read a lot of about you guys and how you have been helping people through their interview. I have been denial US Visa twice this year based on ties. Please I need your help. I need someone to help me check my transcript as well as my application, also help me though mock interview…so as to prepare for a better interview and also overcome my fear. Please I don’t know much about naira land, don’t even get to know if I have a notification or message from someone as well. Would appreciate your response. Many thanks.

Adetbecca: Visa approved Location: Lagos 4th attempt 1st attempt: Lagos no funding 2nd: Abuja no funding 3rd: Abuja half funding 4th: Lagos half funding Program: MS in food science
I firstly want to give God all the glory and adoration for making today's interview a success. I know I can not thank him enough but I give him all the glory because it could only have been him
Secondly I thank God for blessing me with a wonderful fiance that never gave up on me even when I almost gave up on it after the 3rd time I told him I wasn't going for any interview again, he just told me let's give it one more trial and also for all the support and words of encouragement. I also have the best younger sister in the world.
Then Geewin, I messaged him from nairaland after he got his Visa approved, it has been great knowing him. He answered all my questions, helped me with appointment date, checked my transcript and also encouraged me even though he was busy making traveling preparations. I celebrate fairheart also for helping me go through my transcript even with his tight schedules
Lastly I celebrate Tesla for the mock interviews and also linking me up with his friend Dami for mock interviews and also for the encouragement. And also everyone who helped me with mock interviews.
And to everyone who has posted transcripts in the past to encourage people going through hard times due to delay(s). May we all continue to have reasons to celebrate
You guys are the real mvps
It's a long transcrip but read till the end
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning. Happy new year
VO: so why are you going to the US
Me: I am going for my masters degree in food science at North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University and I will be working with Prof. *** on her research which is on Nutritional Genomics.
VO: why this school Me: I chose NCAT because I am interested in prof. *** research as I earlier said the research is on Nutritional Genomics and after making my intents known to her about my interest in her research she offered me a position as a research assistant and the position came with a funding opportunity, here is the funding letter (she didn't tell me to pass it so I held on to it) And also the school has a track on post harvest technology i.e the school has a post harvest technology research center and it is generally known that one of the major problems of food insecurity in Nigeria is post harvest losses of farm produce, i believe i will be able to take courses on post harvest technology among other courses and make use of the knowledge upon my return to Nigeria thereby helping to reduce the problem of food insecurity. Lastly this degree will help me ( she cuts in)
VO: I can see you have funding of ... and deficit of .... who ll be paying for the deficit?
Me: my mother
VO: what does she do
Me: she distributes Nigerian Breweries products within and outside osun state
VO: where does she live
Me: osun state in ife
Vo: what is the name of her company
Me: adet distributing company
VO: adet?
Me: Yes, from our surname

VO: do you have anything to proof this
Me: no, the only thing I have is her bank statement
VO: ok
VO: what is the capacity of her company
Me: she has above 40 staffs, 10 majorand above 25 contract staffs
Vo: since when has she been doing the business
Me: over 10 years
Vo: what will this course do for you
Me: upon my return to Nigeria as I was saying earlier, this degree will equip me with knowledge and skills because the research I will be working on with prof. *** as I said has never been done in Nigeria before and when I return I would continue with the research because I have been promised a position at the department of food sci. Oau where I graduated a position as a research scientist by then the equipments required would have been ready has they have written a grant towards that( she kept nodding and I didn't look away)
VO: what did you study during your undergraduate
Me: I'm going for my masters degree in food science
Vo: I mean your undergraduate (pointing at my I-20)
Me: oh I studied food science at oau
VO: what year did you graduate
Me: I graduated in 2018
VO: what have you been doing since then
Me: after graduation, I went for the compulsory NYSC and finished late 2019, early 2020 I resumed at the department of food science oau as a research assistant
VO: you are working as a research assistant?
Me: I am volunteering as a research assistant due to my interest in research. I assist Dr. *** in preparation, writing and review of manuscripts and journal articles also in performing experiments on her research
VO: what is the research about?
Me: we worked on the bioactve compounds in pawpaw, we word on the determination of the abundance of bioactive compounds in pawpaw before the lockdown ( I stammered at first before I regained balance but I didn't take my eyes off as she kept nodding and typing)
VO: what were you doing during the lockdown, did you take professional courses or what
Me: since we were done with the experiments before the lockdown, I assisted in writing of articles and journals
VO: ok, what have you been doing since after lockdown
Me: like I said we have been writing manuscripts and journals and we haven't been able to resume since ASUU is still on strike and I have been making preparations for resumption
VO: so what will you do when you return?
Me: as I earlier said I will be resuming as a research scientist at OAU because I will be working on the experiment since it has never been done in Nigeria and by then the equipments would have been available
VO: so you have a job already
Me: yes
How many siblings do you have
Me: 4, 3 elder siblings who are married and working and a younger sibling who is in her 3rd year in oau
VO: what did you say
Me: I repeated same thing
VO: do you have any friend in the Us
Me: no, just the ones I have been in contact with
VO: I can see you have funding, how can you proof to me that you will be working as a research assistant ( I guess she asked that because of the way they stated the funding in my I-20, I had the same issue with the black VO in Abuja the last time)
Me: I have emails printed here that I got from her and from the international office ( Fortunately I printed the emails they sent to me when I told them I wasn't going to be able to resume for orientation and all) she passed it back then I passed her the funding letter
VO: then she said the words, i will be approving you visa. I collect the white slip it and just left crying, thanking God
It was when I got back to the hotel I realized she didn't circle the pick up location but it doesn't matter anyway. @adetbecca. Congratulations to you sis Please need help in this area as well. My email: predam2010@yahoo.com Will appreciate your feedback |
