Urgent response needed, please. A friend of mine got admission (PhD) last year fall 2023, but no funding. So he deferred to spring 2024 so he can hustle for funding. Now he has gotten funding, just last week. The challenge now is that the offer letter for the funding dropped late -- his school resumes March 11, 2024. He just paid for Visa two days ago. His supervisor over there is asking he needs a letter from them so he can expedite the process of the visa. What can he do in this situation to secure visa and round up everything quickly before his resumption date? Thanks. |

anchex101: First, is this full funding? If "No", consider deferring again given the limited time before program start. If "Yes", then consider the following suggestions: [1] ask the International Office or equivalent at school for a letter that allows the candidate resume late (i.e. the letter should state the latest date by which the candidate can report at the school and still be allowed to proceed with the program; letter should be addressed to the "US Embassy & Consulate in Nigeria" ) [2] ask on this thread for people searching for date availability at the US Consulate, Lagos and/or the US Embassy, Abuja (if dates are not readily displayed on the appointment portal) [3] generally, do not panic, be flexible. Keep in touch with program contact, be honest with them as regards your plans including visa pursuit. 1 Like |

anchex101: Just to add, he should keep searching for dates, as the embassy would keep dropping dates. Also, he can apply for an emergency appointment. 1 Like |

anchex101: As other contributors have added, explore emergency/expedited appointment (which makes the late arrival letter imperative). All the information you need is on this thread, no use for separate (search) groups/platforms. (Someone already shared the appointment availability excerpt.) The answers/suggestions/support are on this thread, just patiently read and decipher the facts from the noise. Moreover, the "intel" provided are based on experience, not ChatGPT, Google search or hear-say. 1 Like |

fearlessfang:I submitted my application last year Dec. The Graduate studies committee mailed me last week that my application has been sent to the department for review. Hopefully, they come through next week. Have you gotten any mail from them about the progress of your application? |

fearlessfang:Lol It amaze me when some people will just come online and be saying some people are poor when they are not the one feeding the person or clothing the person. For someone to be on this thread and applied to 8 universities in US for PhD the person is not poor, get your fact right. Just because you have small dollar you don't want us to hear word again. I am done talking to you, I wish you best of luck. Have a good life |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by fearlessfang: 7:40pm On Feb 02 |
Datst136:Same as well. When the application is tracked it eads submitted to department for review. The deadline for application submission was yesterday. Lets hope they decide this month. The decision needs to come on time so one can get appointment date for embassy. |

On strength of local currency: One's nationality i.e. country of birth impacts one's prospects both at home and abroad. The first few questions I was asked upon arriving the US were: - "Tell me about Nigeria" - "What is your local currency?" - "How much is it versus the US dollar?" - "What airline did you board from Nigeria to the US?" Needless to say, it was not fun responding to the above years ago (none the less now). Even if one secures a US passport, one would still be required to state one's country of birth on critical applications/documentation in the US (there is no running from one's identity i.e. Nigerian). Suggestion: - speak/wish well for your home country irrespective of your location/status/age/tribe/political affiliation/religious beliefs, - more importantly, do what you can (no matter how little/small) to make your home country better (everyone can do something. Start from your family, business/work place, community etc.) 7 Likes |

deewhydoski: Hey 🤠 Although , this discussion is out of thread but we are still same Nigerians and we have to constantly be positive towards our nation . 1. I will support @Denc that praying for $1 to reach N3,000 is wishing Nigeria the greatest woes that would lead to hyper inflation or whatever and eventually lead to a situation liken to one nation in Africa where they use wheel barrow to wheel money meant only to buy a loaf of bread 🙄 When Americans wake up ,, they says God Bless America , why can't we Nigerians follow suit ? 3. We or our parents were born in Nigeria , kind of schooled in Nigeria , worked a bit in Nigeria and garner all our western sakara (advancement , ideas, swaggers ,etc ) in Nigeria and got the opportunity to travel out of Nigeria ....Are we not suppose to even thank and pray for the great Nigeria ? Best Wishes 🙏 3 Likes |

Hi everyone. As I was perusing through various posts, I came across a thought-provoking one that caught my attention in which someone prayed for the exchange rate of $1 to reach ₦3000. This sparked some reflections in my mind, and I felt compelled to share my perspective on this matter. In my humble opinion, praying for such an increase in exchange rates seems counterintuitive, especially when it comes to the well-being of our beloved country, Nigeria. Regardless of our individual wealth or current circumstances, it is crucial to consider the collective prosperity of our nation. Nigeria, undoubtedly, is a great country with immense potential for growth and development. I firmly believe that, with time, our nation will overcome its challenges and flourish. As someone residing in the United Kingdom, I can draw a parallel scenario – I would never wish for the exchange rate of £1 to ₦3000, even for personal gain. My allegiance to Nigeria, my home country, transcends any selfish interests. Instead, I choose to channel my prayers towards divine intervention and healing for our beloved nation. I believe that God's guidance will steer us on the path of progress and unity. It is essential for each one of us, regardless of our location, to contribute positively towards the betterment of Nigeria. May God continue to bless and guide our beloved Nigeria towards a brighter future. 8 Likes |
