hi guys am trying to ask for advice on here,i am a 300l computer science student of a university here in nigeria which means i have 1 more year to have my bachelors but i won the american visa lottery and presently in the us,my plans where to go get my green card then come back to naija to complete my bachelors and then go back to american to compliment it with a masters degree in america nd wld probably be able to get a job here in america,but peeps and student i met here said my naija degree is useless even if i have a masters wiv it that i shld just take a transfer to a university here then continue from there.........and wld have 2 more years to be thru instead of one if i return to naija...............i need some advice

Well i think what you need to do since you are here in the states is to call the different universities you might attend to ask them questions like:

1. if i applied for your graduate program would my bachelors be honored
2. since my bachelors is from Nigeria, would i still be considered a foreign student
3. if i transfered to your school how many credits can i transfer from Nigeria and how many years would i have left to get my bachelors

with these questions (i'm sure other people can contribute) you can get an idea of what you should do. I do think getting the green card is a great idea.

Congratulation! Don't waste any more time, applied to school in US as a transfer student, it is not true that you cannot get more than 60 creidts, you can get as many as 90 credits depending on the school you apply to, how your lucky shine and the course you intend to pursue. If you intend to stay in US permanently I will strongly advise you to transfer your credits because of the long term benefit. In US Nigeria certificates don't hv much value due to many factors. Even if you go back to Nigeria to finish ur Bs don't be suprise that you may still need to do it again. Best of luck
