It is not always compulsory. It depends on the school you're applying to.

Some schools, like mine for example, recognize Nigeria as English speaking and waives the English requirement for Nigerians. Some schools still don't recognize Nigeria as English speaking and demand for TOEFL from Nigerians.

For some schools, you can still waive the English requirement by putting into writing officially that you have over 15 years of Education in English and have had all your education from primary to high school/university in English and your English speaking, writing, reading and listening skills are solid and hence you write to request for a waiver of the English requirement.

Or you can get your former high school English teacher to certify your skills in English(if you're applying for UG) by putting it into writing or have a former lecturer of yours provide you a letter of waiver(if going for MS or PhD).
bigfrancis21: TO PROSPECTIVE GRE AND TOEFL TEST TAKERS:

It is no longer a hidden fact that GRE and TOEFL test takers in Nigeria cannot register for the test online. Even someone registering on your behalf from abroad is banned once the test taker would still be writing in Nigeria.

Third party toefl and GRE online registration was never suspended.
Its possible also register using toefl and Gre vouchers.,paypal.

That must be one foot closer to grave.

At bold, yea it's possible:

1) If USCIS approved your application for EAD for employment based on financial hardship.

2) If you're on CPT or pre-OPT.

3) If you've already adjusted your status and your EAD is approved.

Yea I know those conditions. But I was referring to 'taking your work-unauthorized SSN to places where you will be lucky they will not perform background check on you' wink

Yes. Very much sure you can. The sending of GRE/TOEFL scores to schools is not by paper but electronic ie ETS simply uploads your results to the electronic database of the recipient school, which the school can easily access anytime they want, be it result from 5 years ago.
My good man,
Thank u again.
I hope you won't mind if I have your contacts. So that I can just contact you for my questions. U've been much more than google.

At the time of writing that write-up, online registration for Nigerians alongside thirdparty online registration used to be banned and it was clearly written on the ETS website. Even the word 'Nigeria' was bolded clearly on their website. That doesn't mean people abroad did not still register for the tests on behalf of Nigerians still in Nigeria or Nigerian internet masters did not have their ways about it. ETS also had the right at that time to cancel or suspend certain test taker's scheduled tests or even their GRE results when it was discovered they registered online. That was why I came up with the information dissemination of the phone registration method which was allowed then. But currently, thirdparty online registration is now allowed, especially since after the resumption of the GRE/TOEFL ban. Many nairalanders on this forum registered for their TOEFL/GRE tests via phone call means. Currently, phone registration is no longer available in Nigeria, something that used to be available barely 10 months ago.

Theflint1: boss u got a pm.

Would reply you soonest, as per your question....

Well $550 was always enough for me per month in my first year because I had roommates and I always cook for myself. But if you wan live by yourself, budget like $800-900 per month...

Plus this also depends on the city too... Some are a bit more expensive, some are less than my estimate

Please, did you eventually pay your SEVIS fee? Because I recur in one of your comments you said you didnt pay the SEVIS fee before you went for your interview in which the visa was granted.

You need to clear the dust around this your transcript and visa approval. Clearly, everyone here knows before anyone shows up for the F1 Visa interview, the evidence of SEVIS fee payment is a core requirement.

Is that so? Are you for real? I stand to be corrected and until then. I put it to you that your transcript/ narration is clearly specious. And noone should try do this ( not pay Sevis fee and show up for interview). I need not say this on a second thought, because I expect every studious follower of this thread to know better.

I remember a few years ago a guy actually paid his Sevis fee but the fee wasnt processed by the EcoBank staff in Seme for the reason that the Sevis fee website was down. The guy wasnt informed by the bank about the development, and to even make the situation worst his interview was a few days away and was to be attended at abuja. The guy had to travel to abuja from lagos without the Sevis fee receipt but went with the WU payment confirmation. Yet, he was sent out of the embassy because he didnt present the Sevis fee receipt. Hence, the reason I conclude your narration is spurious. However, you can prove it otherwise.
