]Hello guys,

Is anyone here schooling in Morgan State University Maryland or applied there and has secured GA? I had a zoom interview with a professor in April and he got back to me in May that I've been recommended for a TA position, however I haven't gotten the GA mail and the class starts 23rd August. What do you suggest I do?

Contact/ call him to inform the graduate school to process and send your GA/TA assistantship letter to your email.

Thank you for the advice, I think I'll just wait.

Greenman2020:



I will advise you not to try it. My emergency appointment got approved in Abuja for today but I couldn't book the date. I called the embassy since the beginning of the week and I was told that appointments are on first come first serve basis. I think you should be patient. Earlier dates will come up soon in both Lagos and Abuja, I believe. Cheers �

Goodday all. Please those who went for Visa Interview on Monday and got approved, have you gotten your Passport with Visa?.

Good day everyone,

Good morning guys, I received an email that my emergency request has been approved. I logged in to check and reschedule for a closer date, only to see farther dates than the one I already booked. Please, what is the way forward? I selected Abuja. Thank you.

I was denied before at lagos embassy some months ago.
I just paid another 67k now to pick another date for lagos . I am trying to see dates but i cant find.
Now I want to change it too abuja.
Since i avent submit Ds160 and pick date.
Is it possible ?
Is the 67k visa fee still valid ?
Can i use the visa fee receipt at abuja

Hello?
Good day!

I applied for an expedited date at the Lagos Embassy, and I’m yet to receive an email or any notification on my portal of an approval.

But I’ve been visiting the ‘reschedule appointment’ tab, and it’s now telling me that I’m approaching the maximum number of times I can visit the tab. Please, what does this mean? Is there even a maximum number?

And I noticed there are now earlier dates as 23 November 2021, as against 4 January 2024 that was available when I applied.

You need to be careful about the number of times you check the calendar...else you'll be blocked out for about 72hours.
There's a limit to the number of times you can check.

MY TRANSCRIPT
Date: 25-06-2021
Venue/Time: Abuja, 8.30am
Merit Scholarship: $26,000
Deficit of $50,000
Number of attempts: 1st
Status: APPROVED
School: Syracuse University College of Law (SUCOL) New York.

V.O: Good morn(with a warm smile on her face), can I have your passport and i20.
Me: Good morn(I gave her passport and i20)

V.O: I see you're going to SUCOL for your LL.M
Me: yes ma'am

V.O: which area of law will you specialise
Me: International Environment law and International Human Rights Law

V.O: I see you have a scholarship of $26,000 and deficit of 50,000. Who's paying for the deficit ?
Me: Mr XYZ, my guardian
V.O What do you mean by your guardian, is he your uncle or cousin or immediate family, does he live in Nigeria, what does he do?
Me: No, he's someone from my community who has shown great interest in my education from time immemorial, even during my undergrad days when my mother died. (She nodded). He lives in Nigeria. He's an established business man that deals in automobiles, auto transport and logistics business. I have been under his retainership as the legal representative of his company since after my call to bar. He's also into properties and real estate. As his legal rep, I always conduct due diligence in his real estate deals.

V.O: do you know anybody in the U.S
Me: Yes, I know Mr ABC. (Note: I filled mr Abc in my DS160 as my contact person upon arrival)

V.O: what's your relationship with him, is he your uncle or cousin
Me: he's a distant relative

VO: what do you mean by that
Me: he's not my immediate family. I met him on facebook and I got to know he's from my hometown and I made arrangement for him to pick me up upon arrival and take me to SUCOL where I'll meet my DSO for documentation..( note, at this point I was almost loosing focus, sweating and stuttering. Anyways, VO nodded after I laboured to give this answer)

V.O: What do you do currently?
Me: I work in Xyzzz law firm as an Associate

V.O: how many years practice experience
Me: 6 years

V.O: what are your duties
Me: Litigation generally, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Legal representation of companies upon retainership, property and real estate

V.O: what aspect of litigation
Me: Civil litigation
VO: (looks suprised) you mean you represent clients in court from inception to judgment?
Me: yes ma

V.O: how many lawyers do you have in your firm
Me: 10 lawyers

V.O: what are your plans after studies in SUCOL, will you return to the firm or are you quitting?
Me: I'll definitely return

V.O (types for a while) I see you got this admission last year and deferred twice.
Me: yes ma'am, because of the pandemic last year.

V.O : I'm going to approve your visa. Take your i20, you'll need it at the POE and remember there are a lotta restrictions at the POE...blah blah blah

*During the interview I maintained close eye contact with her especially when she's not typing. I didn't memorize any answers, I made sure my confidence was intact.
Anyway, I struggled a lot to hear her cos she was speaking very fast, so in two occasions I told her to repeat the question. She was quite patient with me.
One thing is, you can't lie to them and get away with it easily, so make sure you stick with whatever you filled in your Ds160. They like to hear that you have work experience too. That was my biggest selling point. She didn't ask me about sponsor's bank statement nor any other documents. I also want to believe that they don't like hearing "uncle or cousin". The reason she emphasized on it in two of my questions.
Note: this whole questions and answers happened under 3-4mins. I also noticed many F1 students were granted visa that day.

Wow $50k deficit. that's a whole lot of deficit and was still granted Visa...... A BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Lessons: no excuse whatsoever...

Hello all, Good day.

Please does anyone have any insight about this at all? Would appreciate a response. Thanks.

IvannahG:
Hello house, a very blessed & Good evening to all. Currently doing mock preparation for my visa interview and I have a question please. I’m applying for F1 visa for a masters degree and my older brother in the U.s will be my sponsor. No GA & no scholarship. He also just became a US citizen after a number of years living there. They would ask what he does & when I tell them is there any need to say he just became a citizen or do I not say that. will it look bad? As though I had someone that went & didn’t return. Basically I just want to know if saying my brother in the U.S is my sponsor would impact my visa decision?

Looking forward to receiving some advice and I pray that God blesses everyone on this thread with unbelievable testimonies. Amen.

Abuja

Hello linccoln,
Please I also applied to Morgan state university but I haven't gotten my official letter since I accepted my offer. I have sent severalail to graduate school but they kept tell me to be patient as they are working to decide and get my information out Asap.
Please advise me on what to do..thanks

Sent you a mail already..

Hi Kenwizy,
I believe the best one can do is to wait and hope for the best, since they've promised to send you the official docs later. What I'm not sure of is whether they will be starting the classes on 23rd August with the way they're wasting much time on application and funding processing.

Please I need the current price of writing GMAT and GRE. I have been getting conflicting answers online. Has anyone here written recently? How much did it cost to register?

Thank you, Blessings001. He told me he had recommended me, and grad school is the one that would send the mail when they're ready.

Contact the Professor

People only talk about graduate interviews here that you need to have working experience , what about we going for undergraduate degree no advice for us??

So I heard it is possible to get a PhD admission with just a bachelors degree...

I am in doubt so I came here to the USA forum to confirm if it really is true?

About to graduate from a university in belgium and considering my options. Thanks.

Yes, it's possible. Popularly dubbed "Direct PhD", but your profile has to be strong to land one. Goodluck.
