I guess you finished school 2 years ago, before going to do your NYSC the following year. Meaning that you left school recently and are still 'fresh off the boat'. That's cool. However, concerning your 1-year gap after NYSC, you'll have to come up with something to cover up. Never mention you were idle all these last 1 year. Using working experience as alibi will be perfect.

@Amefrica this post by @bigfrancis21 has cleared it up for me. Thanks to you both.

I have to ask though, is there a place on any of the forms to be filled out and taken to the embassy, where I have to fill out, what I've been doing for the past year? Or where I'm working now?.

Amefrica:

Welcome bro! It is still recent but you may want to frame something shaa

In a nutshell! You shouldn't av problem.

Thank you for responding. Don't be deceived by my name 'regby', it should be welcome sis!

Please, if you don't mind, what do mean by 'frame something'

Hi everyone,

Nice job here, I've been following the thread for a while now and decided to register and ask a question and also help others in anyway I can.

I got accepted to a University to get my masters degree. I should receive my I20 soon and get a date for my interview. But what has been on my mind is I finished my nysc last year and I haven't been able to get a job since then. Is this going to work against me in the visa interview?

This is my first post so please forgive me if I don't get it right. Thanks
