Me: Good morning Sir
VO: Good morning madam, pass me your passport and i20.
Me: Here they are Sir (I was just saying sir all through, I am just used to it and the way my heart was beating eeh, the next person could hear it but I was able to calm myself down as we proceeded)
VO: put your left fingers without the thumb and the right comes after....
Me: I did as I was told.
VO: picks up my i20, looks at it and smiled . Where are you going in the US?
Me: I am going to NCSU to pursue a doctorate degree in Chemistry with speciali
VO: (cuts in) organic chemistry? I guess he was looking at my previous education.
Me: yes sir
VO: so why did you choose NCSU?
Me: I chose NCSU because I found professors whose research matches with my area of interest and I was offered a TA position that covers my full tuition, living expenses and health insurance. ( I noticed he wanted to cut me off so I talked fast without going into details.
VO: what research do you want to do?
Me: I will be developing effecient methods for the synthesis of natural product.
VO: Natural products are many which ones will be working on?
Me: oxazolidinones and alkaloids heterocyclic compounds.
VO: Have you travelled to the US before?
Me: No I have not.

Me: yes I am

Me: yes I have 3 kids
VO: Are your spouse and kids coming with you to the US?
Me: No Sir

I noticed a lady that wanted to go study history, the VO asked her why history and she said she liked history and would want to know more about Latin America and one other one, then Vo asked why Latin America and she said because she loved it, She was asked about her sponsor and she said her uncle who is a professor. She was refused. Please gather convincing reasons why you want to study a Course and I have noticed they turn down people whose sponsors are civil servants (my observation though). I am particularly grateful to Fairheart and Helen my mock partner for drilling me. All the best to people yet to be interviewed.

Check some of my post using my profile. There were mentions on how to look for schools, etc. But most importantly, mine your own information and ask questions to confirm them.

In my opinion, it is better she leaves them behind for now as a PhD program is very stressful. I believe she stands a better chance too because she has her husband and someone else to take care of her children which provides the requested family ties. By the way, who will take care of the baby when she goes to school daily over there?. Bringing another person will also require further cost which is not covered in her program funding.

Thank you all for your response. I have noted some points from your suggestions. I think it may be late to take any of them because my interview is just at the corner. God being my helper I will explain my intentions of travelling and taking the last later. I greatly appreciate your inputs.

Good evening all. Please I want suggestions on how to present my case to the VO when I am asked after my children. I have 3 kids: 6,4 and 2 years old. I plan to go alone for now, settle down, plan myself and get them to be with me. Maybe not all of them but at least the last one. I am asking because I think my case is a bit different from the other woman because from her answer, she doesn't intend to take any of them with her. Also, I and my 2 kids been rejected a b1/b2 visa 4 years ago because of not proving my family ties in my home country .
I forgot to add that I am going for a PhD with full funding

Please house, who knows if Abuja embassy is giving emergency appointments. Is it better to fill a new DS 160 and choose the Lagos consulate. Please help
