teddyrain: Hello guys if you can't pay your tuition for first year complete, what will happen? You have several options: 1) If you're an undergraduate, transferring to a community college on immediate arrival to US. Community colleges are very cheap and a year's tuition can equal a semester tuition for a university. You run 2 years in a community college and transfer to a university for the last 2 years. 2) If you can afford one semester or 2, at least, you can come in, run a semester and while in status(in school), obtain a social security number(very important in US), state ID or driver's license and open a bank account. After some semesters, you may apply for extension/deferment for a semester or 2 under certain conditions while you see what you can do all through that entire time to gather up some money to return back to school. I have a friend who applied for extension for 2 semesters (a year). One word of advice is networking. Networking in the US here is very important. Network with your fellow Nigerians/Africans and see how they are surviving and you follow them in surviving. There's more to say than can be said here. All the same, it may be tough but you will survive here. 5 Likes |

In more ways than one, coming here as a master's student is better than as an undergraduate. 1) The associated cost of a 4-year B.sc degree as compared to 1 or 2 years for masters. It is way much cheaper and better to complete your UG in Nigeria and come here for master's instead. 2) As an international student seeking work employment (H1B work visa) after graduation, the ease of getting jobs with a master's degree or having a company file for you if you have a master's degree. For those who are just hearing H1B work visa for the first time, the H1B work visa is a work visa valid for 6 years that enables you as an international student to work for a company after graduation from school. You don't file for it though, your hiring company files for it on your behaf. It is one of the routes to getting the green card, as some people may think the marriage route is the only route to green card. However, this route tends to take longer time, be competitive and favourable towards those really good in their field. 3) Additional 20,000 H1B work visas allocated to Master's applicants only, in addition to the 65,000 H1B work visas allocated to all applicants - Associate degree, B.sc, and Master's students. Due to the enormous number of H1B visa applications received each year, up to twice the number available, the USCIS carries out a lottery that selects the final 65,000 of all applications submitted. Now for the master's category, if all master's applications exceed 20,000 in number for that year, all applications in the Master's pool received are tried in a lottery and 20,000 winners are selected. The remaining unselected number in the master's category are then transferred to the 65,000 cateogory for a lottery along with other categories of applicants thus giving master's applicants double chances of selection, compared to one-chance for undergraduates. 4) More funding/scholarship opportunities from the school and Nigerian oil companies available to master's students compared to undergraduates where you have to rely solely on home/personal funds or hustling. Coming here as a master's student tends to favour you more than B.sc. 7 Likes |

Ojap, Imperiouxx and everybody, I am in a very difficult situation and I need advice from everyone. I applied to a school as a graduate student in political science- I plan to lecture ultimately- and I got my visa. My mom was meant to sponsor me but she died in an auto crash last December. I had been speaking with a professor who indicated an interest in us working together on- International Peace-Keeping and Conflict Resolution in sub-Saharan Africa. I could not qualify for funding because I was 1.8 point short of the threshold. However, he said I would be considered for GA in my second semester if I maintain a GP of 3.0, and 'if' there were funds left. But, he was emphatic on my getting a GA in my second year. The school accepts a payment plan, and I am thinking of raising some money from some of my friends- I have less than $2k as I am typing this- to complete the first semester, and see how it pans out. My mind is running wild... I have been staying with a female friend here in NY who is a citizen since Sunday. A friend who has a green card in Texas using a green-card said I should go to school, try and get my SSN and come to Texas. Another friend said I should just hop on the next plane and come over to Arizona, and work on getting my papers... I am terrified of not going to school and falling out of status; my greatest ambition is getting a doctorate and lecturing Should I send an email to the prof first? Should I contact the appropriate person in school and ask for the least I can pay on a monthly basis for the first semester? I don't want to stay in NY for too long. I don't wanna make a mistake and ruin the good relationship we have out of sheer desperation. What do you guys think? |

Feexo, it is well. You should talk to your school first, but don't make the "mistake" I made. Be subtle in your approach. You will overcome. |

(since your prof. promised funding for your second year). - If all didn't work for you and couldn't raise any funds, try as much as possible to get your state I.D any way/any how. As per SSN, you can only get that if you get an on-campus job. This is even why you need to make sure you enroll in school so you can apply for any on-campus jobs and I.D - If I were you, I will be looking at other schools especially in those cities where you have friends or relatives. See if those schools can give funding or scholarship and transfer there. Things are usually easier if you have someone already in the US to put you through. Please be so aggressive about this. - Yes, you can contact your school's accounts dept. and arrange for a payment plan. Dropping out of school shouldn't be your next option since you have a sure funding for the second year. I wish you all the best. 1 Like |
