eduson002: With d uprising in Eypt I don't think its advisable flying with dat airline if they stopover in Eypt.

Yea. I feel you. Though I think that if the airport area and surroundings aren't safe for flight landings and take off, Egypt air won't be in operations by now. They would have long suspended their operations. Also consider the usual tight airport security put in place to ensure safety of passengers. Also, its just a few hours waiting time before the next flight leaves, I think he should be safe.

Okay well as it is now.....i really need to GAIN idea from difft Pple on this Thread....i will Differ admission to spring ASAP

....Thanks

ivory23456: Idris I understand exactly how you Feel. Being denied can be frustrating and it doesn't allow for straight thinking. When I was denied I kept looking for different reasons as to what may have been the cause for the denial, I tell you that thing can make one go crazy. All I needed to do was just relax and listen. Which I did.
Now if only you too would just relax and listen to what you have been told on here, I tell you you'd laugh in the end at how you acted now cause you'd See that it was as simple as abc.

Am applying to another skool already anyway......But i think it might be a very challenging question at the EMbassy if i was asked why did you change your skool or sumtin or what do u think i will Take the SAT By October again then and see how it goes.

Ms Nas:
And yet, you don't know where the problem's coming from? Hellooo! Your SATs?? Applying now will only make you look desperate more than ever, cos to me and probably to the VO...nothing has changed about your application.
You said the next SAT is October, can't you differ you application and take the SAT in october? Or chuck that school and apply to another? Ok ooo

Capt. JH Miller:

Thanks bro.. But you didn't help me out with this question.

SAT is α standardised entrance exam just like TOEFL, colleges or universities do request for it when you apply for admission. SAT and TOEFL are good standardised test for Undergraduate program and it increase chances of getting α visa from u.s embassy here in Nigeria.

Response to the question guarantees your visa the next time. Let the VO know that you have deemed it fit to take standardised test(s) and applied to better instituion(s) in terms of what they have to offer you in achieving your aspirations.

There are many ways to answer this kinda question if it pops up in your next interview. However, I will advise you ensure you apply to school(s) better than the one at hand and study hard to get high scores in SAT and if possible retake TOEFL. You might even be considered for scholarship and trust me all these efforts will pay off.

You can do all these before the end of this year (consider SPRING term). So your dream of travelling this year is still guaranteed.

Wish you all d best

Yes Bro, According to what I heard, it's actually one of the best you can use for Withdrawals in the US and the Most Reliable and they charge 1k per withdrawal...

So if you are withdrawing cash, withdraw wisely....

Cheers bro....

@Obsy2020. Yes. There's nothing to wrong about. I've used it several times for transactions in America, China and so on and no need to convert to hard currency here in Nigeria for whatsoever before sending the funds. Just go to the bank and remit Naira equivalent and you'll get the money in USD, RMB respectively. They only charge N1,000 per withdrawal.

And will the ATM dispense the money in Naira grin grin jk
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by Nobody: 7:04pm On Aug 03, 2013
@Skimpychick, there are quite a number of cheaper schools in America. But you really have to check online by yourself. You can checkout these websites: www.findaschool.org, www.usnews.com and many more. You don't have to be lazy. Remember going to the United States is enough to trigger you to search for information.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by Nobody: 7:16pm On Aug 03, 2013
@Oluwatosin4us, why didn't you response to my question? I got a very cheap ticket for you but another person picked it up. You go with one way. It's a lot cheaper for you. If anyone stops you, tell him or her that student visa is residence visa. The person will think you've travelled widely. It's only those with travel experience know this.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by eduson002(m): 7:44pm On Aug 03, 2013
Ok.Here is my experience.
Date:July 29
Consulate:Lag
Slot:7:30
Number:172
After the normal check in procedure,we were checked in by 9am.Inside we underwent biometrics.My biometrics came late cos my number was omitted. My number later flashed for biometric and I did it then I went back to seat waiting to be called for interview.@ the windows,the women were giving more approvals than the men.Window 6 was a man in his late 30s.He was denying everyone.He even denied a man going going for conference who had even visited d US before.His first question was always " have u gone to the US before".If u answer in the negative,na sure denial be dat,all other question na formalty. When I observed d trend of the all d VOs questions I started praying dat I be interviewed by d lady in window 5.She dey give d visa like pure water.She go even ask question and help u answer d question self. Suddenly number 171 flashed in the mean guy's window and in seconds,the interviewee was denied.I thought my number will display there next but alas,it was displayed in window 4,seated there was a black American in her 50s. I just bounced from my seat,in my heart I was saying dis woman na my mama age mate,I go talk to her like I dey talk to my mama.I got to the window and here is the conversation.
Me:A very gud morning to u Ma (offcourse wit smile)
VO:Gud morning pass me docs.
Me:Here they are
VO:where r u going?
Me:Ohio ma
VO:Purpose of ur trip?
Me:studies.Masters degree
VO:Do u ve anyone in the US.
Me:No Ma,not any I can think of.
VO:ok.Hw many schools did u apply to?
Me:3 ma and I listed them.
VO:who will sponsor u?
Me:My father ma.
VO: what does he do?
Me:He is a private contractor doing so so biz (sorry I no wan talk my papa biz)
VO:what does ur mum do?
Me: She is retired and collects pension.She also has a house wit front shops where she sells provisions
VO:ok.Did u write any exam?
Me:I wrote Gre and Toefl ma.
VO:what was ur score?
Me:I said my low Gre score ( really low) and high Toefl score.
VO: Can I see them?
VO:here they are ma.(Brought it out from my folder and passed them)
VO: I can't find ur gre ( d score sheet don hide inside d toefl own.I also mistakenly passed my admission letter)
Me: it is there ma(for my mind I dey say satan is a liar,I refuse to accept ur manauvers)
Me: I was checking my folder too for d score and telling her am very sure she is wit it.
VO:ok.I ve seen it.Ur score is low,on what basis were u admitted?
Mesadfor my mind I say which kind question be dis one na) then I replied: Ma,apart from the fact I got gud grade in my undergrad studies,I also wrote a gud statement of purpose clearly protraying my intentions to study.
VO:I can see u ve a provisional admission.
Me:Yes ma.it is provisional cos additional documents were required of me which I ve sent.
VO:ok. Have ur dad been to d US before?
Me;No ma
Vo:hw about ur mum?
Me:No ma.but my dad travels africa.
VO:typed for like 3min (for real,3min)
Me:saying silently "Woman I command u to give me this Visa in Jesus name"
And here came d words I longed after for d past 2 years,
VO: Should ur right be violated in the USA,call dis number on dis paper.Also pick up ur Visa on thursday @ Apapa
Me; Thank you ma.
I went outside raised my two hands in appreciation to God and tears rolled out freely.It was so much dat ppl outside thought I was denied and crying for dat.Na only me know y tears came out.
I want to thank Yahweh,He is d greatest,the house,Imperious,Yvete,OjaP,Bigfrancis,Ricky Roll my aboki (lol) and seun osewa(u made nairaland possible). Wishing every other house members success!
