They don't normally request for it . But in your case their question may get to that . That is to say they may

Lagos Consulate
VO-(The lady beside the one with white headset)
31/05/2022
COA - 39,908
Total funds available is 42,064
BREAKDOWN:
GA WAIVER - 20,064
On Campus employment - 10,000
Deficit - 9,500

V.O - What will an Msc in Information technology do for you ?
Me - It is my career goal to be a CIO sometime in future, having studied computer science and worked as a software dev for over 4 years, this degree will help me learn theoretical and hands on experience in other aspects such as IT management, Network security, Data Analytics, Data Management. *I'm not sure I said any thing extra here, I was really expecting her to ask me more questions*
V.O - Who is paying for the deficit ?
Me - I will be doing that with some personal funds that I have saved up. I will also be getting monthly stipend from my department
V.O - Yeeea, I can see that
V.O - How much do you earn ?
Me - About 500k monthly
Then she handed me the blue paper, and said thanks for coming.

She only asked me 3 questions, I don't know what the problem was, is it a problem to use personal funds ?


Personal funds is always tricky especially when deficit begins to linger between 10k dollars and above and working experience is less than the 5 year period. I would advice you to get a "proper" sponsor. You already have funding shoot your shot again.

Wow. Thank you so much.

Good day, it's not a problem to use personal funds. I did and it worked out fine.

I think if you adjust your responses the outcome will be better.

For the first question, "what will this MSc do you for you"? Look at it as, "what will it do for you in the short to medium term"? "What will you achieve that you haven't been able to"? Something like, "You have worked for 4 years, and you have been looking for advancement opportunities, but those opportunities favor people with advanced degrees. Your supervisor has also confirmed that your profile is also not as competitive, so this M.Sc. is the logical step to improve your current situation".

For the question on "how you would pay the deficit"? It would be better to say that, "I have worked for this long and I have personal savings of Bleep that would more than sufficiently cover that deficit".

The VO doesn't know your story, which is why you are there at the interview to ensure they can understand it. So don't expect them to ask many questions until they get your story (it's an interview, not an interrogation), don't also rely on documents to give the story. Full succinct answers that will help them connect the dots easily in a short time is a good strategy.

Hello Gurus.Pls my sponsor is my elder brother. He is a business man. He doesn't run his business bank so we'll but his personal has enough funds to cover my deficit. Can I use his personal instead?

Greetings to Everyone,

Some days ago, I was denied visa at the US consulate Lagos. Now, I want to reapply for another appointment date at the Abuja embassy but the CGI page is showing me that my port is still at the US Embassy/Consulate. I don't know what this means because I have my port with me.
Also, it is showing that there are currently no appointments available.
Please, how do I book for another appointment date before the resumption date of my school in August?

I have attached the message from the CGI page.

Thanks...❤�

Go with it and any other important documents. It’s better you have them and not request for any than for you not to bring them along for your interview. Please, play safe.

Hello all,
I am going for a fully funded leadership program with an extension to attend a conference in the US.

I applied for an emergency appointment at the Abuja embassy but was denied. When I was applying I didn't state anything about leadership program. I only mentioned conference in my brief explanation of emergency.

My friend got a date in Lagos but only stated that she is going for a leadership Symposium.

What should I do, I need to get my vissa by July to utilize the travel grant.

Should I pay another MRV receipt and request for another emergency appointment at the Abuja embassy or fill another DS 160 and pick Lagos to apply.

Please I need your help.

Also kindly add me to the Abuja interview date group

That's pathway right?
well it depends on why the condition was given, so use that to convince the VO in my opinion
for example, if it was due to not having done some core courses in your undergrad etc just be bold about it all other things being equal
you would be given
Timaiko:


Thanks for your response.

Well, I was told I'll be accepted for the Non-degree program and conditioned to meet the 3.0 GPA for the first semester.

Kindly assist on how well I can convince in the VO on this constraints. Thanks

Exactly! I know right. The way the Grace and favour play out on a daily in that embassy is really intriguing.
Systrom:
Nothing spectacular about your interview

You were just lucky with Grace and favour

The only reason the VO approved your visa was because of the university you were going to which she attended and the fact that she is also a lawyer (two things in common with you)


My friend going for PHD got approved by the Korean guy in window 7 who was denying people back to back, the guy is a linguist and was going for his PHD in Asian Studies specializing in Korean languages. Coincidence that turned to favour

It’s Grace
