PROPOSED TRANSCRIPT

Gurus, kindly help review this proposed transcript and give your opinion.

V.O - Where are you going?
Me – I’m going to the US for my Masters Degree in Management and Quantitative with concentration in Supply Chain Management at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck, New Jersey.

V.O - Why are you going for MSc in Management?
Me – Having held different supply chain executional roles in my career so far, the next phase of my career requires me to have specialized skills in data-driven decision making, business analytics, sustainable supply network design, ERP modules and supply network technologies among others. This degree will offer me the opportunity to learn these skills thereby preparing me for higher responsibilities which are more of supply chain strategy and solutions design and deployment, of course, leveraging on my executional roles experience.

V.O – What will this degree do for you?
Me – Upon completion & graduation of my Masters program, I will be highly proficient and skilled in Business Analytics, Logistics & Supply Chain Design, Supply Chain Technology which will give me a competitive edge to take up senior manager role in xxxxx Nigerian PLC. The degree will also strengthen my profile and personal brand thereby opening me to opportunities in other multinational companies such as Unilever, Shell and Exxon mobil who are continuously seeking experienced and skilled supply chain professionals in Nigeria who can design and implement responsible and sustainable supply chain solutions. In the long run, I will like be partnering with my Uncle who is experienced in Oil & Gas sector to establish modern logistics Operations Company and consultancy firm. The firm will focus on providing logistics and supply chain services as well as consultation services for FMCG and Oil and Gas industries.

V.O – What did you Study in your Undergraduate?
Me – Industrial & Production Engineering
V.O – Why are you changing to Management/Supply Chain Management?
Me – I am not actually changing but rather specializing. Supply Chain Management is actually an area in Industrial Engineering. Good number of schools offer their Supply Chain Management program as a concentration under Industrial Engineering. Also based on my work experience and my career progression plan, a post graduate degree in Supply Chain Management is the right investment I need to make now for me to achieve my immediate and long term career goals.

V.O – What year did you graduate and what have you been doing since then?
Me – I graduated in October, 2010 from FUTO. I did my National Youth service between March 2011 and April 2012. I started working with xxxxx company in June 2012 to April 2018 (as Warehouse Manager, Process Manager and Production Manager), I then joined xxxxx in January 2018 till date as a Logistics Manager responsible for Distribution, Order Fulfilment and Customers service for 6 South-Eastern states.

V.O – Why masters in U.S and not in Nigeria
Me – The US has one of the best educational system and research facilities in the world. This is truer for my intended course of study in that the country has the largest and most developed Supply chain in the world which put the business schools there at an advantage in terms of availability of real time case studies and research works students can learn from. Therefore, going for my masters in the US will give me a competitive edge in terms of skills gain that I can reapply upon my return to Nigeria. Also, supply chain is about global networking in this Industry 4.0 era, I will be able to leverage the network I will gain while studying in the US for collaboration and reapplication when I return to Nigeria.

V.O – What does Industry 4.0 mean?
Me - Industry 4.0 is the trend towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes which include cyber-physical systems (CPS), the internet of things (IoT), Supplier/Customer data synchronization and collaboration, Artificial Intelligence, and Prescriptive Analytics. It is primarily aggregation of methods to increase service level & customer’ satisfaction, Increased ROI for investors while being socially and environmentally responsible.

V.O – How many schools did you apply to and how many admit?
Me – 3, Fairleigh Dickinson University and New York Institute of Technology and University of North Carolina, Charlotte. I got admitted in FDU and NYIT but my application was too late for UNCC deadline.

V.O - How did you get to know about these schools?
Me – I did my search using google, best-masters and USnews to check for schools that matched my profile. I based my search iteration on Course content, Facilities/Faculty and Best Value to streamline my options.

V.O – Why FDU?
Me – I chose FDU because the course contents are focused on relevant skills for a modern Supplier Chain Practitioner, the school is among the top US schools for Master in Supply Chain Management according to Best-Masters.com, and these at an optimum cost. The school has business laboratory furnished with latest Bloomberg software for research purposes and also has smart classrooms. The student to faculty ratio is about 18:1 which I believe is ideal for a graduate program. I also contacted some graduates of the department and they recommended the school.

V.O – What are your study plans
Me – I have to complete a total minimum of 30 credit hours which consist of 6 credit foundation courses, 12 credit core credit courses, 9 credit enrichment courses and 3 credit capstone course. Courses I will be taking include Business Analytics, Introduction to Supply Chain Management, Logistics Management, Pricing & Demand Management, Global Sourcing, Procurement and Negotiations, Global Supply Chain Finance, Supply Chain Technologies, Sustainable & Lean Six-Sigma and Project Management.

V.O – Who will be sponsoring your trip?
Me – Myself (I have 36K USD personal fund and the amount on I-20 is about 35k USD) and I also have support from my Uncle
V.O – What does he do?
Me – He is a senior Civil Engineer with Schlumberger Nigeria
V.O – Why would he want to support you?
Me – He has always been interested in my academic performance right from my secondary school through my undergraduate degree. He is also impressed with my Career progression so far. We also have a partnership plan to establish a logistics company in the long run which he knows the skills I will gain from the Masters degree will come in handy.

V.O – Are you married?
Me – Yes
V.O – Is she following you?
Me – Not at this moment because she is leading a digitization project for her organization so we decided she should concentrate on it and see it through as the project will be major accomplishment of her career and we wouldn’t want to jeopardize that. At the end of the project which will be about end of my first semester, we will re-evaluate our options considering all necessary factors.

V.O – I will be approving your visa
Me – Thank you.

Bravo

Brief history
Got a medical visa in 2016 for childbirth, I had paid a hospital bill of $1250 prior to my interview and we were granted visas. Had another baby nov 2017 with the same visa but called the embassy to inform them and they said it was ok.
Applied for Dropbox but was called for follow up interview and asked to bring itemized bill.
Our interview was on the 4th of March, Abuja.
The VO after going through the itemized bill said we were given 90% discount and such discounts are only reserved for their low income earners and totally not acceptable for foreigners.
She placed us on administrative processing and asked us to go pay the outstanding bill and send the receipts back with our passports via dhl. The hospital is saying my account is closed and we can’t make payment. To be honest, going with the itemized bill they sent I had a total bill of almost $30,000 for both births but was asked to pay only $2500, the discount is huge, who pays the outstanding? We are ready to pay it but they are not giving us that option. Who has been in this situation and how was it resolved?

We are in same category here, let me know how it goes cos ours was rejected completely until we clear the bill and the hospital says no bill is outstanding,its really frustrating cos at this point one will be confuse on what else to do.

Got secondary satanic now @ 353 days 14.35%, 73 days @ 13.75, 136 @ 12.5%

Good one, first bank wasnt ready at all and no good rate today.

lynniebabes:
Here is a form I was given when I walked into the hospital to make inquiries. I need help my interview is next week. And most of this VO don’t understand that this is a flat rate given to ever selfpay patient in the hospital. I have my zero balance receipt o. And I’m dew next two months.with this problems is it ok to state I’m going for childbirth.

Contact the hospital they have another letter to back up the zero balance that states you are not receiving help from govt This will help.

I hope u are getting a medical visa this time.
Good luck.

[quote author=esthero9 post=71292675]Please has anyone ever gotten an itemised bill from West Houston Medical Center? My visa was denied even though I had a zero balance. The VO couldn’t understand why such a huge discount of 20k was given even when I explained that it’s because I’m self pay. I have also emailed WHMC hopefully they can send an itemised bill so that I can

[quote author=Adebuble post=71307683]Hello mamas n papas,

Good to see this trend is moving well...
Congrats to all the success stories and the not so successful ones, God will give u your success story on your next interview..

For the itemised bill, I think its only For West Houston Medical Center (I may b wrong) but I renewed my visa via drop box and I was given even two of my other friends that used HNWMC.

Also can we research more on hospitals and doctors so that certain doctors will not be overwhelmed.. The doctors most of us used are from researches..let us explore all that is available on-line..

Well done..God bless.


Good one.

Considering the 10% withholding tax, the FD's return is effectively 9.9% p.a

Considering the upfront interest payment on the T-bills, the returns is 12.36% p.a and 11.68% for 191 days.

So, obviously, 11% may not always be 11%.

Thank u so much for this info.

FBN LAGOS TB 11% @ 191 days. Ecobank fixed deposit is offering 11% please for 365 days.

Please which of them is more viable.
Kindly help.

Please TB and Money market fund Stanbic which is more profitable. Had an investment on MMF but don't understand how is being calculated. TB seems to be more understandable.

Please need to understand this MMF. Thank you.

Hello priscai. It is likely you were called for a follow-up interview. In these cases, we use your e-mail and telephone number that you included in your application. If those details are not current, then it's impossible for us to contact you. Also, the act of "notifying" the Embassy/Consulate of a change in travel purpose is not a valid procedure. The only communication that matters and that we make record of is what you say in your applications and in person at the Embassy/Consulate and port of entry.

Sir,

My information on contact remains same and has never changed. However, I was able to get the consular through phone and was directed to check the visa application status using ceac, checked with Application ID information said ISSUED last update 19th October still no response on return or notification.

Kindly advise the next step.

Thanks.
