Please my people, if anyone has Family members or friends who occasionally send money down to them here in Naija via Western Union. I'd love to buy those dollars from them rather than allow The bank rip you off by giving you a meager 197 to the $ and then turn around and sell it to other customers for 360. I will pay you a very fair rate in cash here and you can ask your relative to send the Dollars straight into My Domiciliarry account at GTbank.

I went on the Hunt for Banks that still issue PTA in all of Abuja today.
I'm still exhausted from driving all around the entire town, when I get some rest I'll post the results. Tell you which banks are still giving to their Customers and what the criteria is. I entered over 18 banks.

Lol... You don't know that only 0.00000000000001 % of student in USA send money down to their family here in Nigeria..

Let's stop all these joor

Please stop this fight....

Angelapinkytoes:
i understand the plight of everyone,I got more than 30mails including those not members of the USA thread. My sister even sent the first guy his dollars today,he made transfer to me on Sunday morning of 650,000naira. I will try to do something better next month.

Okay Ma!

Well, if that's what he is Comfortable and confident in, by all means.

Congrats boss mi

I got to the embassy around 6 ;15am, after the security checks and thumb print.I messed up when I was called for the thumb print, when the white woman said your the four fingers of your left hand, can you guys imagine that I wanted to place my right hand, then the woman shouted I said the right hand. In my mind I was thinking the interview have started o. I was shivering. But the woman gave me back passport and 1-20, she said I will be needing for interview, so my nerves came down. We have to wait for the VO for over 10 minutes before they arrived. But when I saw those glasses tbat seperate the VO from the people na when I know say the VOs get sense. They know say if they bounce person wey dey get hot temper. If the glass no dey dear the person fit hijack the VO throw for ground. Is all good, that is glass is really good shall. Let continue with the transcript. The lady that interviewed looked like a Chinese lady. She denied one student visa before my turn self. Mehn for my mind I begin pray heavily o. When it got to my turn

I also got interested in Travis walker research. He had his BSC in mathematics and MSC and PHD in Chemical eng from.stanford uni. He will make my transition to chem eng easier because he had my kind of problem before. I bleeped up when I was explaining it, because I stuttered to much due to the fact I was speaking with so much emotion

I really thank God for his mercies and grace. The thing I can tell prospective applicant is they should tell the truth because when you are telling the truth you will follow freely. And the VO will notice it because they are trained to do that

Walspring:


If I am not wrong I would have suggest that you give $500 to each people and you just need 9 people or $900 to 5 people because many people need this..

Seconded and by next month you will do same

@onyembu2013,

Cheers!

onyembu2013 congrats.
Nice profile and Oregon state is a very good school.
Was it that dark lady that was yelling again during
your biometrics? That woman na case

Mayflowa:

it is the bla bla dat failed him actually. Age is high, maybe undergraduate, long time of finishing high sch, business he does is not relocated to his course of study. Upon dat, he didn't show he is ready for academic work by refusing to take test. Answer is too short just like he is lazy to write but bla bla bla

Lol

All the people who wore suits on my Interview date were denied oh. The secret is to dress well, like a typical graduate student would dress in the U.S, (Tip from EducationUSA visa Orientation) Heard this one from a VO directly. Me I just went wearing a pair of Chinos and a H&C shirt.

That i assure you was not said by a VO.... Never, that pepper and salt added

I have 6500 to mess with(trust me you cannot scam me) and will be needing my $$$$ back in USD

IF and MOST importantly you will sign my letter agreeing to conditions

For every $500 i get $100 meaning i give you loan of entire sum i get 7800 to be refunded back 4weeks after arrival

i wont respond to any bargaining iya alata or an "Mbutu coming to America" emails

@ sirriddy, it was a white woman that took my biometrics. She was in window 9

Please attend an EducationUSA General Visa Orientation coming very soon to your neighborhood. The V.O's come and speak to students face to face during those events, and you can ask them any question.
I won't comment on this issue again.

Enjoy.

Thank you @ imperious, sir ruddy, holeudrayl and morgan

There's a service in Abuja called Geeva, that's where I was directed to, I have their number,
They will charge you $250 though, or its equivalent in Naira N85,000
