  • Hi Friends!
    I had to make y'all a little something before the end of the year! So in this first part of my US Visa Series, I narrate my F1 student visa interview experience while also throwing in some tips here and there. However, I will have (VERY SOON) consequent uploads specifically for those TIPS that helped me ace my interview. My situation was especially interesting because it was a long time between my high school graduation and college admission, but, it eventually went well. Those in unique situations similar to mine will definitely find my story & tips useful!
    KINDLY LIKE. COMMENT. SUBSCRIBE. SHARE. My goal is to have at least 200 SUBSCRIBERS by the end of 2020, I hope you’ll help 💖!!

    I had similar experience only that I eventually was interviewed by the stern woman I was avoiding 😂, but the for the first time in so many minutes of interviewing people she smiled and laughed with me 🥹, I just felt calm and surprised. When she approved my visa I didn’t even hear what she was saying anymore 😂… I was filled with excitement 😁. I’m really awed that our story tally

    It was my first attempt and I got the F1 visa. I got approved this last Tuesday 30 May 2023. I went with no Travel History. My passport was with no any visa. I didn't smile even one time. I didn't see anything funny. I was so serious I couldn't fake a smile but was just focused with eyes contact to the consuler officer while responding to the questions. I have strong ties back home. That's why I got my visa approved. I am employed for 6 years now in the same company. I am a Logistics Manager with a good salary. I will pay my studies by myself and got 25% of scholarship from the university. I am Married. I have no siblings or parents in the US.

    • @EstherOlabisi

    Hi Esther how are you doing. Please I have some important questions, after watching this video, I also have the same issue about applying for college after years from high school, I want to know what did you fill as employment in your ds160 form ? And also I’m enrolled in a bsc program here, should I mention that?

    • @EstherOlabisi
      @EstherOlabisi  2 роки тому

      If I recall correctly, I don’t think I filled in any employment in my DS160, because I really didn’t have any employment history. If I did, I may have filled in my volunteer experiences
      It’s difficult to present a case of leaving your present bsc program for the US. I do not happen to have a definitive answer for that, sorry!!

The point is that I want to tell the VO that after my study at the community college I will transfer to university for my bachelors degree . and that is Making it 4yrs .should tell that or should I say after my tow years I will return to my country .please I need help

    • @EstherOlabisi
      @EstherOlabisi  2 роки тому

      It is probably better to say you will transfer cos it makes more sense. It’s unlikely that a person just wants to study in the US for an AAS degree. But mention plans to return after the bachelor’s degree
