Good day everyone, just felt like posting few things on here. Coming to the USA is a first step in a right direction, dont let anyone tell you otherwise, however pls and pls have a plan. i am a newbie here, today marks my 43rd day, school is underway and i am trying to settle in, but trust me there are days frustration walks side by side with me.
I know for most (like myself) its all about greener pastures, but then HAVE A PLAN. be prepared, dont just get visa and come with barely 1000$ to your name. people do that all the time and say they will hustle it tru, you may (or not), but its an avoidable disastrous situation in the making. have plans that will cater for your needs for a minimum of 6 months. Coz to be honest, dem no dey share work for street, and as an F1 holder, you cant work (legally) and the school youre in may or may not have employment opportunities for you.
Again, dont think youre coming with the hope of relying on anyone, the friends family members (except its direct and immediate) you have would turn out more useless than useful (at lest 80% of the time). Be ready to be innovative and be ready to admit all youve got is yourself. Be independent (ask questions regardless), but plam for yourself such that you can stand on your two feet for as long as you become better submerged in the system. if youre coming with the hopes of the friend you have here without your own plans, sorrry you will most likely be disappointed. I have an elder brother here, who is more like my GEE, but i am charting my own path, i only ask for advice and directions from hom, i am not staying on his neck, we are not even in the same state (thats not to say we wont be linking up now and again).
Again, have a plan, go to school, if you wanna stay back, have a plan... have a plan.. even if you forget all i just typed, pls have a plan.. i mean a workable plan. the system wasnt exactly built to favor migrants or foreigners so youve to know youre swimming against the tide, as such u need extra push. its not easy, but its doable. its exciting after getting visa and many people get carried away with the harsh realities theyre coming tp face. have your money, for personal expenses, if youre rich enough get a car. Get a license, make sure you come with ur naija license as this will fast track your license (i aready have mine).
Good luck to the ones still on the hustle to get visa, and for those that have gotten theirs and will soon be here, pls have a plan. i am also a newbie, still finding my way around, no much friends (yet), very lonely sometimes... and to make matters worse i dont even know when next i am going to get laid (Tinder dey dull me grin) but i serve a living God, i know he will come tru for me.
have a great day everyone.
thanks for that......

Go ahead and tell the VO you wrote Toefl, Though your score is below the 80 mark of most schools I think 77 is not that bad. So if you are asked about standardized test then tell him/her you wrote toefl and yes toefl is a standardized test you can only answer no if you were asked if you took the GRE or Gmat

This is probably one of the best pieces of arvice anyone should pay attention to before coming to the US. Yet if you tell people, it will be as if you are just doing bad bele.

Yhe US is NOT an easy place to be. Plan very well before coming. Ideally get the FULL amount of your fees plus housing and feeding. Of course not everyone has the means to do this. Search deeply for scholarshios. Google is your friend In this regard. Study hard for the GRE to get great scores and hopefully a scholarship.

Yhe days of coming to the US, finding a job, settling down and getting citizenship are long over. It takes tremendous effort now .

All these super stories of fully funded people who got rejected. You guys must really think these VOs are fools. The simple fact is I genuinely do not believe any transcript with that information because I know the value that is attached to being fully funded.

Are you telling me, the US govt was willing to cough out hundred s of thousands of dollars for a student and another member of the same US govt will reject that person's visa appeal? I can't relate.

Nairaland is a faceless forum and as time has shown, people can type just about anything sometimes to invoke a reaction. Being fully funded, IMHO, is the surest bet of getting a visa. It may not be 100% foolproof but the situations extenuating such a circumstance will have to be something really shocking on the appellants part (like showing sympathy to extremist religious views on the DS160). I will even say 95% of people who are fully funded get their visas...once.

After this, you can now look at the quality of school, financial capacity of sponsor, presentation by the applicant, serendipity etc.

Stop saying poo , I have seen full funding from Top school (Over 55k$) rejected by that black American lady at US embassy Lagos. It’s not always about funding. If you are unlucky and couldn’t convince the V.O to his/her satisfaction, you will likely be refused. That doesn’t mean that funding isn’t the easiest way to get your visa as that shows you will go for your studies and not run away to hustle cos of lack of school fees. Funding makes everything easy but always prepare well whenever you are appearing before a V.O.

Full funding does not guarantee a visa but it definitely makes getting one easier. I have heard a consular officer in the Lagos consulate general say it is rare and surprising for someone on a full scholarship to get denied.

I see. Next time, you should still let him see it and let him know it's the only test required by your department and which was waived. However, the vo was asking for those standardized tests I mentioned. With explanation just like you told me you could have convinced him.

@ quinzypearl and others,

If you're going for grad studies and the vo asks you for a standardized test don't start talking about toefl. The standardized test that they want from grads is gre or gmat. If your program has exception just like the case of quinzpearl, you need to let the vo knows exactly whats going on. I've been seeing many misleading advise flying here lately.

Toefl is not a standardized test required for grad admission. It's an English language test, which can be additionally requested from both undergrads and grads. Search on Google or Wikipedia for the list of standardized tests required for graduate schools in U.S, toefl is not among them.

Anyone that wants to argue is free to continue arguing with their screen about this.

Well, I would say everyone is right. Funding increases your chance and it doesn't mean visa approval is certain. The level of studies, type of school or vo perception of you is what matters. I got funded and would only pay $700 out of $18, 000 per yr and still got denied. I went another time and presenting my funding was part of what led to my success.
