To be refused a student visa once can be disappointing, twice can be alarming, but the third time can definitely be heartbreaking. That was how I felt when I went in for my visa interviews to travel from Nigeria to the United States to attend college.
After my first visa interview was conducted, I walked out of the US Embassy full of disbelief; I had not been granted a visa. The only thought that kept coming to me on the drive home was, “Father, I am not sure of other things, but this I am very positive about. You did not bring me this far to leave me stranded.”
