Popular travel content creator Kwaku Lottery on Facebook shared the woman’s ordeal by posting a detailed account of the conversation that took place during the visa interview.
For starters, the visa officer first posed the question of whether the applicant felt harmed in the country, to which she responded no.
From there, she was questioned on whether any circumstances could warrant her not returning to Ghana, to which she responded no.
The next question centred on where she was going in the US.
In her response, she stated that she had gained admission to pursue a two-year Master’s degree in Social Work at Saint Louis University, with a funding deficit of $37,000.
The visa officer then questioned her source of funding, to which she mentioned her husband, and had readied bank statements to prove.

The visa officer then replied, saying the young lady did not qualify for the visa.
At the time of writing, the post detailing the circumstances that led to the lady being denied the visa had generated a lot of reactions.

"It takes God’s grace at that embassy. But per my experience, for graduate studies, having a graduate assistantship, either partial or full, looks pretty good to most VOs on the finance side."
Priscilla Agyeiwaa Adusei stated:
"Those with funding don’t talk much. They want people with full funding or very little deficit."
