Babs911: I appreciate ur piece of advice and I really agreed with you but my fear is that d date I need to resume to sku on my I-20 is 1st of October if it passess then before I go for my interview won't that be an issue d VO will lament on? Pls advice.

See, you are the cause of this your problem now.. Why didn't you use a courier service like FedEx, DHL OR TNT courier plus to receive your i-20 package..

There is one thing you guys need to know is, Nothing good comes easy.. No short-cut to success.. People who traveled to the US spent a whole alot of money..

Even me that have gotten my visa, and I have no deadline to meet for embassy appointment, I intend using TNT courier plus to pick up my NEW i-20 package for the spring 2014 semester to avoid this risk of Nipost you guys are facing now..

So if someone like me who doesn't even have any deadline to meet, makes use of a courier service to receive a VITAL document, then why can't you guys who have deadlines to meet do the same as well..

imperiouxx: Only those who are stubborn won't hear the first call. You've been told since yesterday to cancel that appointment if possible and look for a more convenient date as many other dates would pop up, but you're still confused.

If you cancel that Oct 3, you may or may not see any other one within the 30 days (but most likely, more dates will soon open). The most important is your readiness not even getting date. What's the outcome of interview without preparation?

God Bless you and your papa for this.... On point...

BannyE: I have a TOEFL score of 61 for internet base test. I know is very poor. What if am able to get admission with it from schools that accept low TOEFL score but have to undergo additional English Language Class when I resume My question is, will the Embassy deny my visa application because of my low TOEFL score??

What is your take on this?

Are you going for undergrad OR masters?
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by RickyRozay: 12:05pm On Sep 07, 2013
BannyE: What's is the implications of applying in schools that does not require GRE?

No implication for admissions to schools.. But you will face the REAL implication at the embassy.. Lol..

Your two eye balls go open wide when you go hear ; Sorry your visa cannot be approved at this moment please Re-apply"

So if you like yourself, Do the right thing. Take atleast one standarlized test for the sake of the embassy....

Success bro..

Exactly bro... I was about suggesting that to you as well..

Please switch to Plan B. Contact your school. And tell em you want em to issue another i-20 for you because you have not received the innitial one they sent and your Visa interview date is veryy close..

So when they agree to issue you another i-20, tell them you want to use TNT courier pick-up service here in Nigeria so that they will come down to the University and pick it up and you get the i-20 package here within 4 working days...

Please Contact them first. And keep me posted and let me know their response. So I will let you know how you go about it.. Send me a PM for effective communication..

Success bro..

Since you're applying for a PhD program, you might need to increase your choice schools 4 to 6 more just to stand the high competition. You know you are competing with us who are already in the system and many other nationals including Americans. Do you have a second degree prior this PhD hunt?

It's funny that 6 schools might not be enough for him. Why?

1) Seeking funding
2) Type of course (science is more easy applying to few)
3) Application is from outside US
4) Competition with those within (continuing students... first, those within US...second, others from outside are needed to fill programs in case they got few applications or the school isn't first choice for applicants).
5) In depth of research works (s)he has done.

FYI: I'm applying to 10.

Chem is as usual but you just have to know what you're doing. Generally, studying here isn't for the weak in mind (not that there isn't but they won't like to tell the story of their life and fear of falling out of status). All state universities offer Chem. So, search any schools you like.
thanks GURU, alredi dne dat. Still serving my father land. Am going to write GRE by Dec, den apply 4 summer so dat i can av enof time to prepare.

I don't think the emboldened words really hold true. As an international student, you compete only with other international students for the slots reserved for international students.

Good day.... i want advise on this. I have admission to a US school for masters this fall session and i have my F-1 visa too. I am now in the US and genuinely intend to study but i'm having difficulties with finances. I was to buy some goods for some clients and send them to Nigeria and my profit from it was what i intended using for tuition fees. But unfortunately my clients backed out and asked for a refund which i have returned to them. Now i don't have any means of paying my tuition. I'l like to seek advise from the house on what to do. What advise would you have for me in-order not to fall out of status? I do want to study but funding isn't possible now. I've been to the US twice on visits and never breached any laws.

That's not entirely true; it depends on the school. Some schools make international students compete with us students. That's why transcripts are evaluated, and the 2 categories of students fulfill the same requirements.
