Does anyone here have experience applying for USA M-1 student visa ?

What was the interview process like? Any link to Nairaland thread on this would be appreciated.

I want to apply for an M-1 student visa for Phlebotomy medical studies. (Vocational training)..
I understand one must pay for the full tuition for the program firstly, receive your i-20 before applying for th visa.

Any tips and suggestions on the visa interview will be appreciated.

3 things you want to prove without expressly saying so.

1. That your intentions to study are genuine.

A.Do research on your course and have a very well thought out reason why you want to study that course. What benefit does the course bring to you short term and long term.

B. Do research on your school and why you chose that school out of other options. What stands out about your school choice compared to others you spoke to.

C. Know the name of your contact person and where you will be staying during your studies and how often

2. That you intend to come back home to Nigeria after your studies.

A. Explain what you are going to do with the course when you get back home.

B. Show that you have strong social and economic ties here in Nigeria. Lands, houses, wife, child, aged parents are examples if these. Incorporate them in your answers

3. That you can afford your stay. School fees and living expenses.

A. Use your verbal answers to show this.
B. Provide supporting documents to show liquid cash like bank statements, bonds stocks.

All the questions that you will be asked will be indirectly structured to determine this three things.think and reflect deeply and have answers and back'up answers for them.

Smile, sound confident and don't talk way too much. Answer what you are asked and keep quiet.

I can give you a sample answer to combine all three key points in to your first answer but you will have to pay for that. I no dey give free info again.

This brings memories to my mind. God be praised.its been a beautiful journey to the place where I sit as I type this
