I don't think you had any problem aside @ bolded... You don't in anyway put your country in a bad light__

When asked such questions, make the answer about you and and then go ahead to talk about how you would give back to your society upon your return.

For Example Why MIS?
Answer: I chose to study MIS because as a child I saw my father use the analogue (paper) method to collect and report his day to day activities, until there was a fire outbreak in a section of his 'business'__ there was no way he could retrieve those lost information and the lost of valuable information reflected in his decision for that FY.(input one sad outcome) __Upon my return, I plan to join so so so and improve the bla bla bla so no one will have to face what my father went through....

I answered with what I think MIS is about (Management information systems right).

Yes Management Information systems. Thank you for the tips I will sure look into it

Hello I need help on here
My visa got rejected June 3rd

Here is my transcript
Interview time :8am but got interviewed by like 10:30
Lagos Embassy
Female interviewer

Consular:Good morning, how are you today
Me:Good morning, I’m fine and you(I don’t remember if she responded)
Consular: can I have your passport and form I 20
Me: passed it to her

Then she tried to scan the barcode behind my passport and it wasn’t accepting(was making a sound), so she requested for my ds160 and tried to scan the barcode like twice then she continued with my interview

Consular: I see you’ve been to the United States before on a j1 visa
Me: yes I have
Consular: where did you go
Me: Virginia Beach, Virginia
Consular:where did you work
Me: told her
Consular:did you come back for your masters or plans changed
Me:plans changed(I remember my j1 interview I stated I would be coming back to do my masters)
Consular:so what have you been doing since you graduated
Me: did my NYSC 2018 to 2019 and so I started planning for my masters (doing research) and the pandemic set in so I waited to apply this year January
Consular: why will you be studying MIS and why your university
Me:I chose to study MIS because of the technology sector isn’t so great here in Nigeria and so doing this I’ll be able to come back to contribute my own quota to the Nigerian economy
Then she cuts in before I could answer why the university
Consular:who is your sponsor
Me: my father he is a real estate consultant and the owner and ceo of ... property limited nigeria
Consular:asked again I think she was trying to type it

And she tried scanning the barcode on my passport again it was making sound
Then she requested for my ds160 and took the first page out stating she is having technical issues
And she hands over the blue denial slip to me

I am planning on reapplying soon as my school resumes August 10th please advise on how to scale my next interview please
PS: my interview wasn’t so great because I was really nervous as a result of the tech issues she was having so it threw me off balance , so I couldn’t answer questions so well

I will indeed appreciate if you can put me through
