I would like anyone in the house to advise me if its ok to go ahead. will i be able to ship the reciept to nigeria? someone made me understand that the debit/credit card companies do not ship to nigeria.

@shavel, I'm very sorry to read your denial story which was caused chiefly by bank statement. Some students can come up with the req. $$ for yankee studies but have no statement to back it up for the consular to see and you may fall into this category. I trust you wont give up bro, but I'd advise you sorted out this $$ statement palaver before going back there agn.

@House, I'd encourage we share our strong and weak areas in the house or IMO, to any member of the House by YIM as this wud go a long way in helping each other esp.in areas of our likely weaknesses.
I think if my friend Shavel had shared his e.g the documents in his possession detailing this $$ statement thing, we wud ve pointed out this area as a form of weakness wif possible solutions and prayer in this direction (there is norin prayer cant do) or betterstill, someone wud ve likely helped him out wif a clean $$ statement ^{bearing his sponsor's name wif enuf balance via the 9ja way (gonga aso pointed this out and he was almost stoned, hope I wont be criticized now).}.

Reading tru the pages (pg 1-158 now) where nethacker, femilangy, gonga aso,oyewole and co posted a list of the docs and credentials in the possession weeks/days before their interview made me wish I was part of that era, ^{God's time is the best, so I'm good}. I greatly admired their era,
They have gone now and are busy with yankee life and studies hence their absence from the House but we are here in thesame path, lets be smart and copy many of the attitude that made most of them a success (onto Visa oh).

My dummy email agn is ghummer1 at gmail dot com and my YIM is da.ghost63 at yahoo dot com.
So who's next, reloaded right?
Success to you and everyone else ^{and this I mean the inactive members readers (like fris) of this great thread.}

@jooas
There is nothing like helping you for a state visa.
I live here in the states and i get really sad when Nigerians are scammed or refused the right to live a fulfilling life.
Please do not for any reason wire money to a group or persons.
It is a scam
Thank you

I just called my Graduate Program Coordinator who informed me that she is yet to receive my application forms. However, she said I should not be discouraged that it would work out. I know that is the message I need for now. I will keep following up with the International Office and Graduate School.

Hello House,

I got admitted into d MPH programme for d fall at Univ of South Carolina and will be having my visa interview on May 19th.

However, wen I was filling my DS-160 form, there was no provision for uploading a passport photograph.

Is it the same for every one or should I be worried?

Pls response,

VO: What's an epidemic?
Me: Explained it to her
VO: What's a pandemic?
Me: Explained it to her
VO: Wats d difference between an epidemic and a pandemic?

Me: Told her
VO: U did human medicine, right?
Me: Yes
VO: But Zoology has nothing to do with human medicine
Me: Explained to her again that in the Nigerian medical curriculum, basic medical sciences are done in d 1st year
At this point, she turned d WES evaluation transcript to me and showed me d 2 Zoology courses done in my 1st year
VO: Are u saying u did these Zoology courses in medical school?
Me: Yes and I tried to re-explain
VO: I'm not convinced u are a doctor and u're going to study Epidemiology
Me: I am. And showed her my my MBBS degree certificate
VO: Sorry, I cant issue u a visa at this time
Me: Its alright

And then, I walk away with a smile on my face.
It was really a very funny experience.
Since I still have time, I'd be re-applying but this time I wont be wasting any money travelling to Abuja. I'll just stay and do it in Lagos.
Success to folks goin next.
