My man, I wan ask this questione mek others learn too....... My grandfather attended the same school where am heading to for his masters. Though he is retired now here in Nigeria. When asked how did i get to know my school, is it bad to say: "actually, my grandfather attended the school so thats how i got to know about the school?"

bigfrancis21:

How old are you? Did you take any standardized tests?

smartguy1759: Thank God you posted this, one of the landlords on craigslist is asking me too pay upfront for Sept. 1st move-in. So, how do one go around this off-campus housing issue, because I don't know anybdy in NJ that am going to. I am so on my own.

vivysparkles: Ermmmmmm....naija babes in Yankee, Abeg how do u guys make ur hair cos I hear hairdo is verrrrrryyyyyyy expensive in the US

christianmarks:


She wants any course on creative arts. Instead of the top ten schools you can give me schools that at least the vo will not despose

coachee1:

Ms Nas:
:d :d the naija babe at my school actually told me to bring plenty expressions and weaves, that she does hair at a reduced price...like $20 or so. i gues im safe for approximately a year then ;d

flynbird: Ok. . First I'll like to say a big thank you to God! And I thank him for leading me to such a lovely family here on Nairaland. Without you guys I wouldn't have much information.. From Bigfrancis to imperioxx to Misnas, kpoli, yveett. misstoyo, findout, Gboyega, vivysparkles,..... The list is endless. . You guys encouraged me when I felt like giving up!
So I got my sevis fee receipt updated around 4pm. Printed it out and got on the next bus from Iwo road to Ajah. Woke up the next morning and got to the embassy. Did all security check/biometrics. Sat down then my number came up. I was interviewed by the Chinco lady at the extreme edge close to the entrance. Here's how it went...

Me: Good morning
VO: Morning pass me your documents
Me: (passed them)
VO: Where in the US are you going?
Me: (Told her)
VO: So I see you're going for your masters
Me: Yes, Masters in Human resources management.
VO: How did you find this school?
I'll say it was Gods favour after all what I went through before the interview. I wish everyone going for their interview success and please be Bold, Never take your eyes off the VO and demonstrate with your hands.... In between that chinco guy is kinda strict. He kept denying everyone that went to his window... And why didn't anyone tell me phones aren't allowed in the embassy? I had to pay a mobile policman 1,000naira to keep my phone. lol

ferdimako:

See another project.

My Advice to everyone looking for a place to live, look for apartments or rooms on craigslist but NEVER send money to any one until you get to the US and only pay after move in. And make sure you get receipt for the money you're payin.

There are a couple of ways to get a hotel for a night when you get to the US. download apps like Hotel Tonight, Priceline, Hotel.com and others. When you land in your city right at the airport, connect to a free WiFi and search for hotels on your smartphone and get hotels around the airport vicinity. look for the cheapest and stay for the night then locate an apartment the next day.

The best thing is to have someone pick you up at the airport but if you're like me with no one to pick you up, this is your best bet and you'd save a couple of $$ on hotels for the night.

Housing is not as hard as people make it sound especially in school areas. As long as you have money to pay your rent, you should be good.

I hail the house

Ms Nas:
LOL. Which project?

OjaP: Cograts Flyinbird....Welcome to the land of the brave.

I have a question for you. What is the meaning of flying bird in Yoruba?

Ms Nas:
Congrats dearie! Cheers to you, cos u overcame.
I didn't know people pay those MoPol money to hold their phones o, they kept my two phones and I even went back there to drop my bag.....one shishi wasn't collected from me. All the same, CONGRATULATIONSSS!!!!

flynbird:

lucky you . They even have a masking tape which u stick to your phone and write your name on it

flynbird: During my preparations I read through the 2nd, 3rd and 4th part of this thread up till now. I advice every one preparing to do the same.
On my notepad i copied and saved interview experiences both approvals and delays from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th part of this thread. They were very helpful towards my preparation. I'm not sure if the mods will allow a new thread(read only) so I could post them and others could learn from them.(If neecessary)

a1jnrinc: Ricky , thanks so much for your strategic information. You are a great help and now I know how to plan my application. However, I was just thinking what if the VO asks for my Diploma certificate which I do not have ?? A nd what kind of institution do I say I got the diploma from ?? I intend to study International Business or Business Management. Thanks for your time.
