owagbeba:


Na when you finish SS3?
How long you don dey work for papa company?

I finished secondary school since 2012, did some computer training for 2 years, after that, did OND at Polytechnic Ibadan, did my IT at pman's company, I've now been working there after my IT for almost 4 years now.

I'm 23 BTW.

Thanks sir.

Please is it possible for someone with B.A Education to get funding as maybe a research/teaching assistant for MSc. The person studied English language but has over 5yrs work experience as a contract staff in a bank. We are currently researching schools but just wanted to know if anyone here with this sort of background has successfully gotten funding before. Also if anyone can point us in the right direction as to schools. We will really appreciate your suggestions and inputs. Thank you

Dayoaf:



If your Uncle is covering your deficit , then fill his details on your DS 160

Okay, thanks bro

NigPatriot:


If your family funding is 50k , why then did you seek a loan? 50k already sures the estimated COA.

You should first answer, why you decided on a loan in the first instance.

Thank you so much for your response.

I decided to get a loan as a personal contribution to the available funding. Because I feel my last denial was based on the fact that my Dad is sponsoring me. And I am a married man. Maybe they see it as not being normal. So if I can personally source for extra funds it might make things seem balanced. But then I’m confused On how to relate it properly on my next interview. Or is it advisable I don’t talk about the loan ?

Yh maybe, but can Barter be used to pay for a US school application fee?

VISA APPROVED GUYS! Spring 2022
COA-28k
Scholarship-4k
Deficit- Covered by my Father
Date: 30th September 2021
Location: Abuja
Time of appointment:8:30

Not my first time going to the US Embassy( but was denied B1/B2 in 2018). This forum has been instrumental to my practice and information, so I had to just post mine for others to see.

Got there by like 7:45, entered by like 9, but had to wait for like 2hrs 30mins extra cause i chose Lagos on my DS-160, but got appointment in Abuja (there was no space in Lagos). I was interviewed by a white man. Omo The guy really drilled me, but to the glory of God, i was well prepared and the holy spirit helped me to be eloquent.

VO: Good morning, me your documents.
ME: Good morning, How are you doing today?
VO: Alright
VO: Have you been to USA before?
ME: Yes, a number times actually, I’ve been there about three times.
VO: When last did you travel and why did you travel
ME: 2016, Went with my family, It’s just for Holidays and a time for us to bond
VO: What’s your highest degree?
Me: I have a bachelors degree in anatomy
VO: Where did you graduate
ME: Babcock Uni
VO: I can see you are going to St. cloud state University
ME: Yes, that's right
VO: For masters in biological sciences, but you did anatomy, So why this course?
ME: Well biological sciences is a broad multidisciplinary course made up of different specialized field, and anatomy is just another aspect of this field. So me doing anatomy in my undergraduate gave me the foundation to succeed in this program. I’ll be specializing in neuroinformatics; as i’m interested in drug design & development against neurodegenerative diseases (The night before when i was rehearsing prior to this, something told me to learn how to link my undergraduate degree to what i’m going for and then what i plan to do with it. And that was the first major question asked)
VO: Okay (Shakes head in affirmation, that’s good)
VO: How did you get to know about this school?
ME: I go to know about it from a lecturer of mine, He collaborated and has worked with another professor at that school (state the professors name). So when i decided i wanted to get a masters degree in USA, I checked out the school and luckily for me they had a program that aligned with my career goals. So i applied.
VO: So, What will you be doing after your study?
ME: I plan to apply and work at a top biotech/pharmaceutical company here in nigeria such as GSK, Roche, Emzor, where i’ll be trying to improve in drug design and development against neurodegenerative diseases such as alzheimer’s, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis parkinson’s. Also, I plan to work with NGOs and ministry of health to create awareness and improve treatment strategies/plan against these neurodegenerative diseases for the elderlys, that would be my quota for national development. And in the long run i’ll like to start up my biotech company which would be focused in neuroscience.
VO: typing for a long time* wow that’s really excellent. So what do you do?
ME: I’m a youth corper, currently finishing up my service. I serve in Enugu (stated where i serve), just flew in to Abj yesterday actually
VO: I can see you got a scholarship?
ME: Well yes, (tried to hand him the certificate for scholarship, *stops me* no no just tell me what’s it for) Ohh, it was given because i reached the academic standard and for cultural exchange as i’ll be adding diversity to the school, i didn’t apply for it tho.
VO:Alright, *Points at the other name on the i-20* Who is this?
ME: Ohh that’s my father, he will be the one funding the rest of my expenses
VO: And what does he do?
ME: He owns business that deal in importation, local production and distribution of clothing fabrics to private & government organizations. So he works with govt official such as army, police
VO: *Interjects* Do you have any relatives or family member in the united states?
Me: No, i do not.
VO: Do you have friends in Minnesota?
Me: No, I don’t
VO: *types for longggggggg* well everything looks really good, I’ll be granting you your visa. *Hands me the white paper*

Starts talking about Covid-19, asks me if i have been vaccinated ( which i have been ). And keeps talking about taking direct flights and blah blah blah.........

I’ve seen a number of people that got easier/simpler questions; this was my prayer. Unfortunately i didn’t . I studied/rehearsed thoroughly. And God granted me the grace to find favor in the eyes of the consular officer and answer the questions audibly and without issues.

It was just God, that's all I can say!

Whatever way you are feeling about a question when you are preparing, do not ignore that feeling, cause if i had ignored that feeling and just prayed that God should not allow the question to be asked. I’ll be hooked!!!
It’s better u are prepared and the question isn’t asked than you are asked and u are unprepared.

Prepare like there is no God and pray like you did not prepare at all!

Thank you all very much for all the help, this platform really helped me.
