You can start processing ur transcript right away, once u have paid your processing fee to d skol they will "open file " for u and any of ur credentials (GRE, Transcript, recommendation letter, letter of purpose etc) will all be attended to anytime it comes in.
It doesn't matter if u graduated with a BSc or a HND, they are all seen as a 4year degree by WES and skols in d states. So all polytechnics HND graduates aspiring to do their graduate studies in d states are very good to go .

After the GRE, can someone leave 9ja in a space of two months provided satisfying all conditions... I am beginning to get sick of still been in nja i swear....

Computer-based GRE result comes out immediately you hit the submit button after taking the test. The paper-based GRE result comes out 3 weeks after taking the test.

I'll suggest that you calm down and stop showing off unnecessarily your desperation. The VOs are quick to detect desperation in one's eyes and deny you because of it. Moreover, coming to US DOES NOT end your 'sufferings'. Know this today, US is not paradise and do not expect to come here and start picking dollars off the street or expect that once you come here all your sufferings in this life will end. Life for migrants here can be tough and only the extremely hardworking, not just average hardworkers, and greatly perseverant survive here. US isn't for a lazy man. Be prepared to work extra hard when you come here.

aekmanweb: U ar right bigfrancis, bills incured must be paid within speculated period, no carry-over of bills like Naija.....lol. How far abt your guy in dat sch, have u confirmed the procedures frm him? Thnaks!

Joenice: yes...very compulsory, if you want to study in America. US and Nigeria does not have the same system of learning. Just like in football 3-5-2 formation is totally different from 4-4-2. you got my drift, right?

Tekecoms1: Pls which is better between the paper based GRE and the computer based GRE? ? By the way in response to someone's words, USA does not put an end to one's sufferings but i will say that the chances of making it in USA is far possibly higher than wasting away in naija and be saying God will do it as if our parents did not pray the same prayer. I ld rather do menial jobs in yankee and get well paid than stay in naija doing a white collar job and paid a rubbish wage where a stupid boss will be claiming lordship over my live...

The paper based GRE is only available at some certain location in Nigeria. I think they are three that should be in Aba, Benin city, and Gieva in Lagos. The computer based GRE is the most recommendable so register for the GRE and get the study materials in order to use it for studying.

And please listen to what they are telling you, you seem kinda desperate which is not good. You need to know that it's not so easy in the state and look at you talking about doing menial jobs (i'm shaking my head for you). Some Americans don't find it easy not to talk of an International student who is not allowed to work more than 20 hours in a week on-campus or work off-campus unless under DHS authorization. Calm down, pick your schools, ask the school questions about admissions, tuition & scholarship, apply to them, do the tests, and then apply for visa. One step at a time.

Mjseun:

Nice transcript there!
Did they ask for your ticket to Oklahoma at POE in Houston? I just need to know. Coz I intend to get to Atlanta first on Monday before going to Florida (my school) on Thursday? Will Hv my POE in New York City(JFK).
Thanks for your prompt response in advance

Personally, I prefer the usual paper-and-pencil paper exam as that's what I have been used to all my life so I opted for the paper GRE. I wrote the paper GRE at Aba and scored well on it.
Which menial job in US that pays minimum wage of $7.5 per hour will pay you well? How do you even compare the pay of menial jobs to the pay of white-collar jobs of between $20 to $50 an hour? Don't put the cart before the horse even before it is time to hit the road. Which menial job in america will pay you well so as to cover all as-you-know-it expenses and leave you with much change to spare on partying, enjoyment galore and shopping? You need to wake up. It is only the rich and celebrities that live such luxurious life here.
As an Igbo man, I love dealing with figures. Now let us delve into the financials.
I assume you get a job at Walmart(which is almost impossible as you have work restrictions on your visa but I will assume so for I was taught in science to make assumptions) which pays $7.5 per hour and you work 75 hours a week. Mind you, for such a low-paying salary, you'll need to work as many hours as possible as your body can permit to break even. And for such jobs, you're not paid overtime as obtained in white-collar jobs where you work 40 hours a week usually, 5 days a week, and any extra hours spent on the job is overtime and you're paid at an overtime rate of 1.5 times your hourly salry.
MONTHLY EARNINGS:
300 hours(75 hours per week times 4 weeks) * 7.5 = $2,250 per month.
Tax deduction = $350 to $400 per month. Yes, taxation here is killing. In most states you are taxed both federal and state taxes.
Other deductions such as social security benefits = $100
Take home pay: $1,750 to $1,800 per month.
EXPENSES:
1) Health insurance = $110 per month. Health care is very expensive here and almost everyone here has health insurance that covers medical bills during times of ill health.
2) Rent = average of $500 to $600 per month. I am even being generous. Some places are as high as $1,000 per month. Except you decide to put up with as many roommates as possible to split up the cost.
3) Feeding = $200 to $400 per month, that is if you cook at home. Eating outside is very costly as you spend twice/thrice of the stated figure.
4) Transportation = $100 to $200 on fuel per month on fuel if you'll be driving or on bus ticket if you'll taking the bus daily to work.
5) Light bill = $200
6) Water bill = $150
7) Miscellaneous = $100
8.) Phone bill = $50
Total expenses = $1,610
How much left = $140 to $190 in savings.

Then you remember you will have to save some money. Then relatives and friends from back home with same mindset like you will be calling you asking you to send $1,000 so that they can start enjoying life as they are 'suffering' in Nigeria, because they think that Obi is picking up dollars from the street of America. Not knowing that Obi is still struggling to have mere $1,000 as savings in his bank account. Then you think of how you'll send the very little you manage to save from your daily hardwork, sweat and energy and becoming stingy becomes your watchword.
Remember that this is the so-called menial job you envision to do which you will wrench your back doing everyday and standing on your feet 12 hours a day. You then think of your future and envision yourself doing the same recurring cycle every month in a year for the rest of your life in America, the land of opportunities and a place of 24/7 work all seasons of the year with very little rest, then you smile to yourself and tell yourself 'welcome to America. Now I understand what these people have been telling me since.'
Okay, you decide to finish school and get a 'well-paying' job in the vicinity of $70,000 per year or $5,833 pre-tax monthly salary. Fine, the job is white-collar and you are one step away from breaking your back and standing 12 hours a day. Your life is one step better than the class of menial workers. However, you are still not free from the ever-attractive recurring rat race cycle that entraps millions of employees in America that comes with heavy bills to pay every month such as house mortgage, car loans, college loans, heavy tax deductions, monthly light and water bills, phone bills, internet cable bills etc. with very little to spare in savings.
Is this your so-called glorious vision of 'being well paid'?

May GOD help us.
