wems002:

we are here, whats the update who is going to the embassy for the spring semester,

Wems002 moi very soon

pls who has applied for masters before and how did it go.pls response are welcome from everyone

I need some help please.

I have been in the US for nearly 2 years on the J-1 visa. I was privileged enough to receive a sponsorship here and I changed my status successfully to an F-1. I am in college and will be starting very next week.

The problem is in the fact that I have not seen my family in all this time and having them come over is not the same as my going home. The question I have is what are my chances of getting the student visa when I go back to my home country to visit and apply for it? I will have all the necessary documents, my tuition has been paid in full for the year. I have a number of affairs I need to take care of back home too.

I'd appreciate any help guys. Thanks

B4 an answer can be given, we need d following infos,
1)for how long is ur visa valid?
2)on wat condition were u granted an F1 visa?
If ur visa is still valid ,i dnt think u need to apply frm ur home country if per adventure u go home.Or perhaps I dont understand u clearly

1) My visa has expired, my status in the country is still legal. I can be in the country as long as I am enrolled in school full time, which I am.

2) There were no conditions to my change in status from the J-1 to the F-1 except that I must complete a minimum of 12 credits per semester.

You do not get a visa when you change your status - your legal status in the country changes. You can not be issued a visa unless you are outside of the country. I just want to know if my chances of getting the actual visa are good if I go home and apply for it there.

What happened to the foreign residence requirement for J-1 visas. Has it been cancelled? Or is it for M-1? I can't really remember.
I know there used to be a clause that you had to go back to your country for a year or 2 before you can be allowed to change status.
Anyway, lets assume it doesn't apply in your case.


To be frank with you, it's a 50:50 chance. Consulars usually frown at people who go for certain things and then change their status.
Make sure there is a concrete reason for the course you have chosen to study and then appear for the interview. You will have a good chance if you also have good evidence to show that you will return upon completion of your studies. i.e do you own companies, land and stuff like that in naija that will make you return.
You know you've already betrayed their trust by changing stauts instead of returning home.
My advise, stay in the U.S and finish your course juh. You've been seeing your family ur entire life. t
There is nothing to miss about naija. I know cos i'm beginning to regret moving back.

@petee, go to canada and renew your visa. i have 2 brothers and 4 friends there, they renew their visas before coming home

Don't give advise that will Bleep him/her up. He is not renewing an F-1 visa. His status is F-1 in the states but he left Naija with a J-1 visa. He will have to apply as a new F-1 visa applicant with an i-94 in the U.s.
I know of people who were denied renewals in Mexico and Canada. If that happens, you can't go back to the states, you'll have to go back to naija.

Why do they need to contact you. If you finished secondary school, you should be able to use the best tool on the internet www.google.com
Better yet, go to www.petersons.com to check for all the schools in the U.S and their requirements.
You don't need nobody trying to get money from you. OKAY

Thank you everyone.

A-town, I appreciate your advice. I do have assets that require me to return home after I complete my studies. The rule you are speaking about is 212 (E). The two year rule does not apply to me - this is stated on the visa. I feel I have a good chance of getting issued the visa - I have never been denied a single visa and have had a number of visas to the US before and have always obeyed their rules.

Omotayo01 - Plenty of people have said I should do that, but if I were a consular, I would be reluctant on issuing a visa in a third country (a country other than your home country).

Being in the US is not at all more important than my spending time with my family. My college counselor is helping me put a package together, my sponsor and I are set. I will get it. Thank you. Btw, I am from SA guys.

Okay, you should have indicated you were South African from the get go. What are you still waiting for.!!!!Book that flight home already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
While the visas are also stringent in SA for SAns it's definitely not as bad as Naija. You're good to go.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-319321.0.html

hi fellow nlanders,
am also plannin 4 spring 2010 and and i av applied to 4 schls already hopin to get admission.in fact i av gotten admssion in a schl but hopin to get a beta one all in us though

A-TOWN, i guess u need to understand or do i say grow? i am not forcing anyone. You have got to understand the fact that there are people that wants things to be done for them. If you dont fall into that category, i guess u just relax.

Of course anyone can go online there and get it. But not all know how to communicate nd gather the requirements.

What i do is just to get the o level of candidates, all they do is to seat back and just wait for their admission and I-20 get to them by me,

this is gotten from very good schools.

Nethaker if u get to read this please we need to talk on some issues ASAP.U can cal me on 08068093540 or my email add oyewolejose@yahoo.com.
U can also drop ur email add here.i try 2 check ur email add on ur profile but is hidden.pls it is urgent and important.plsssssssssssssssss

Anyone that does not know how to communicate and gather requirements has no business applying to study in the U.S in the first place

Stop being a Lazy puss. Go to www.petersons.com and do the research yourself. If you cant do research to get schools, i doubt you have genuine intentions. You just want to leave naija for any school in the US. This kind of desperation will show in your application to the embassy and may result in a refusal. Im sure you went to secondary school, right? Do the damn research and stop being lazy. You want people to help you choose a school for you.  If you have time to come to nairaland.com, you should have time to research

@mr. oyewole, the answer to your question is NO, WE DO NOT KNOW of any school in the US that accepts WAEC without SAT,TOEFL et al 
shikena

but seriously, don't let yourself get confused  by mr. omotayo01. I stand to be corrected but there is no such thing as US admission without some form of standardized exams atleast TOEFL.

if you have the time to post on nairaland, u ll definitely have the time to check petersons as A-town suggested.

there are enough unis dat i knw in us that admit people with waec only without sat and toefl.4 ur info they are good schools though

some us schl do exempt nigerians from toefl and tell you sat is optional ok.some also say b3 in waec can satisfy ur english proficiency while some also can give you admission without toefl and wen u get admission u will write english placemet test in the school.finish

@cesc4
I believe this thread is meant to share ideas
Can you please mention some of these universities you know so that we may all benefit, u never can tell, maybe that's just what somebody has been waiting for
 

wichita state uni,cleveland state uni(ohio) etc let me share a story with you my friend went to yankee on visitation den wen he got there he visitd a schl and went to their admissions office to ask for admission requirement and ask the officer if he needed toefl den the officer told him dat as long as he has a credit or distinction in waec he will be exempted for toefl and dat sat is optional(4 scholarship purpose) den the officer told him since he was able to communicate with him he wont av any problem listenin to lectures in class also dat toefl is usually requested in order to confirm dat an intl student can communicate well in english even though in the schl web they said toefl is compulsory for intl student, i will also share my own personal experience withchu shortly.thank(may u all av fun @gongo aso et all nlanders)
