All of a sudden you wan defer It is very possible just go see your international student Adviser but have a good reason if not he wont listen. Plus, why you wan defer now? he would Just ask you why you did not defer when you were still in naija or will you go back to naija if you defer?

JUst have a good story to tell

@masepat

I am in the States already, and I have my orientation tomorrow. Since you are in the states already, please send your phone number to glytunde@yahoo.com. Or just send an email there, and don't forget to put your nairaland ID so that I can know its you,

House,
Trust everyone is going great. The cold for here no be beans!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^ guy na true especially for a first timer like us. My experience of yesterday was soo funny. I went to the ATM to withraw some money. When cold beat my head, I forgot my pin number. I just didnt remember again. I had to check it from my phone. I decided to use the cash with me, but on getting to where I was supposed to buy something, I couldn't remember what i came to buy again. I was just looking at what was displayed, but I wasn't sure I saw anything. My girlf friend there was just laughing, because she already warmed me about the clothes I wore. I guess the cold froze my brain that it affected my memories.

No one thought me before I started dressing warm. Omo, this yankee cold na wah,

Funny people!!! u won defer, u won flex abi?

guyz Where can som1 get english proficiency exam. It is needed 4 travelng out

@Tee.baba
This man, you sharp o. U no even waste time before u start to dey consider deferral.
I go generally advise say make u try do first semester now. that way e go dey on record say u don report for the school and say u at least show for wetin u come do.
After that u fit sort yourself. I hear say USCIS or wetin be dat dem name fit start to dey follow person if the person enter for port of entry but no show.
Another advise be say if u register for school, u fit find any kind job, no matter how yeye im be, but for the sake of getting a SSN. once u get dat one, your arrangee and other runs and plans would be perhaps easier.
best of luck and remain a good ambassador of nairaland!

hi my peeps in nairaland,i only login in to nairaland some 2weeks ago.i met this guy vandop and explained to him about my upcoming interview and fears.he gave me courage and introduced me to this guy name cappadona.i chatted with that guy on yahoo cos he had gone to the US with the same career of mine(piloting),i spoke with him and they gave me tips,infact he first interviewed me and corrected my mistakes b4 i went to the embassy yesterday.i was bold,fluent and fearless and behold i was granted a visa for my studies.i want to say to those who have their interview coming up just be brave,couragious and bold and hold all neccessary documents backing ur case and pray, i mean pray very hard and it shall be well.They want to give visa but the problem is that most people can not defend their case properly.

@vandop i salute u,@cappadona u too much,infact u need work for US embassy.I greet u all and wish everyone here success.

congrats on recieving ur visa o, we all here to help each other and i'm glad the fruit of that is there for all to see,

herself:

good job guys, been following this thread for a while now and am impressed by the positive response people have gotten on here, am tring to apply to schools in the us for nursing and its been a little difficult, most schools require registered nurses(RN), anybody know how i can get in for BSN direct?, i intend going for fall 2011 and intend to write toefl, can anyone guide me through?, useful websites will be appreciated too, thganks,

application for BSN nursing requires two process, either u take pre-requisite courses from a 2-year or 4-year college and then submit ur application or other choice of being an RN, in ur case, il suggest you apply to a 4-year college of which u can transfer to a 2-year college when u get here, why i say so is because the chances of getting ur visa is more with admission offer frm a 4-yr college rather than 2-year, so u have ur two options, others idea are welcome,

omo take am easy o, i'll suggest you do as omofavour talk, it makes sense doing your first semester and then you can either transfer to either a cheap comm college or if u wan to defer the next semester, defering your very first semester does not read well for you in the eyes of the school, becos like it or not if you need to transfer, thereby generating a new i-20, u still need a go-ahead from the school which u originally enterd the US with, consider carefully,

vandops,am aware of that.my plan is to go for the 4 year program, its just being a little stressful searching and getting schools that require just TOEFL and not SAT or ACT, i intend going for fall and can just write toefl cos of the time frame, hopefully,I'll see something i can work with, thanks,

normally SAT aint required if you are 21 years or older except if you want scholarship.my school UMBC don't really require the test score cos you still have to take a placement test when you arrive but im sure there are lotsa schools who don't and my advice, when u do get here, u can transfer to a community college, take your pre-requisite classes at a much lower rate and once done you can apply, just need to know all the requirements for each medical school

Talk to your advisor and file right papers to required places, if by certain date you do not report to school, you have involuntarily declared yourself 'wanted', (ignorance of the law is no excuse) don't forget your primary purpose is to study (F1 visa), you could loose money paid to school and you could be digging a hole for yourself which will take some years to find out. Candid opinion stay in school.

Atleast let me show face make i no come be thief wey dey waka for morning. I have read with keen interest all the post and experiences of applicants, i am thrilled.

I DON READ AM SO TAY, I dey take am dream. I have concluded my applications to franklin university, given two weeks to appraise my application before a reply is given and my I-20 sent for booking an appointment.

I am 34,have a first degree in accounting 2004 with 6 years work experience, but going to study business economics with opportunity of transferring credits when my transcript is ready.

My brother, same father same mother who works with Chevron is sponsoring me and i am gonna go study for real but i go jama jama along the line. lol.

Shey nairaland go give me visa?, dem no get choose sef.

Any comment from the veteran and PHD holders in visa application, granted and refussalls.

1)clothing, you could get some sweaters,jackets from goodwill stores for cheap,plus you get your money back as tax deductible
2)toiletries, i'll rather buy a colgate @ dollartree for $1(generally all toiletries stuff barsoap,tissue,toothpaste are cheaper at a dollar store
3)groceries, walmart and aldi
4)phone, a prepaid phone would do your budget a world of good,straighttalk.net10,metropcs about $30 a month,no thrills,no frills no sweat
5)callcard to nigeria, $2 black and white card is good bout 39 mins,phonecardcentral.com has a per second option,a bit expensive but no hidden charges
6)online purchases, get a visa giftcard for your purchase no extra charges!for buying online from walmart,get a walmart giftcard, they do have great deals online.(shopping with a bank debitcard is just not safe!!!!)
