MISTAICEY02288:

Im staying at Duluth presently,another city in Georgia... Seriously, Yankee na the place to be. Everything for here too make sense and set die. Chai, i wonder if Naija go ever reach this level in future. Will post more updates later.

MISTAICEY02288:

You people should keep on blaming Peter obi for the high costs of tomatoes.. since you people like to blame people for your failures

fuckingAyaya:

Davsidoo:
Hello House, pls I need hotel recommendation for Abuja? I need to travel soon for my interview and I intern to book the hotel now.
Somewhere close to the Embassy.

Thank you

Danburuwa:


How can you be replying yourself?

Creating too many accounts to ask yourself questions and reply yourself is the height of the madness.

No one will contact you this scammer agent that doesn't have any other work apart from looking for people to scam on Nairaland.

The end to your activities is near.

I still blame justwise for still leaving you here to deceive people.

Samhyme:
Good day house, please how do I answer the question "person or entity paying for the trip?"

Gerrard59:


Yes, for science students, paper publication is important, but not compulsory. To correct you, EB1/EB2 is an alternative route to PR than H1B. The end game is PR, then naturalisation. Nothing can be an alternative to PR.

Although, the school's calibre might contribute, but work experiences matter most and how one's lawyer presents the case.

EmmyPers:
Please help, I qualify for Dropbox but because I am going with my spouse, I am trying to schedule an interview for both of us but getting stuck on step 2 and not able to move further to schedule an appointment. Is this normal or I'm doing something wrong? Thank you!

EmmyPers:
Hello, I'm curious if you already used your DropBox privilege I want to assume that you got a two-year visa for your Spring, so why do you have to look for an interview date again?

chimax1:
Hi guys,
Is it possible to attend interview with i20 from spring semester for fall semester? My school is taking a while to issue the updates i20 and interview is coming soon.

Tranquility2345:


You no write GRE and TOEFL? No wonder 😂

Tranquility2345:


That shows how rotten our schools are if na with that kind English you take graduate from university. Na wa o..

Reading your other posts, it is highly doubtful that you graduated from UNILAG. You no even sabi Lagos. I sure say na one bush university you finish from. Those universities wey lecturer go dey tabon up and down come dey collect egunje from students.

Who dash you Msc from US? You wey never comot Naija for your life? Keep dreaming boy…

Tranquility2345:


So they are high reputable journals abi? 🤔

Tranquility2345:


Wetin be high reputable journals please? And ‘seem like a good alternative’ na the grammar wey dem teach you for unilag be that? 🤔

Gerrard59:


Marriage is your best and fastest option, for everyone sef. The most viable option for a Nigerian is NIW. If a law student (https://twitter.com/ImadeIyamu), not yet a grad o, can be approved, then it is possible for anyone else. Just begin the process immediately you land in the US.

Tranquility2345:


Na this kind Yamayama English wey you dey speak you wan use go school for yankee? 🤔

VanuatuWycombe:


Why prospective MBA students get it because of the huge fund they could have committed. AnMBA, in the US, that’s less than $70,000 per session stands lesser chance of getting the visa.

STEM that have to do with Space Engineering, Robotics and AI get it. I am not talking of general STEM courses like Civil or Mechanical Engineering.

VanuatuWycombe:


Don’t apply for management courses in the US, if you are older than 18. E get why…. your chances of getting the visa are slimmer than a 1mm diameter thread.
If your brain fit carry all those STEM courses, go for that. Think of courses in that field that are not too expensive, otherwise, go and study in Europe fez and later on cross to the US.

Gerrard59:


You only need GRE fee, TOEFL fee, WES fee, SEVIS fee, visa application fee and flight ticket. Aside the UK, most countries' universities' offer scholarships, and as you stated, they are competitive. Why shouldn't they be? Everyone loves good things, and good things don't come easy or cheap. Yu must work hard for them. In order to compete, you need to have a competitive profile. I would outline the profile of folks I know one-on-one and from a distance:

- First class in Biotechnology from a private university and MSc from a federal university in the south east who is pursuing his PhD in the US. Source of funding: Graduate Fellowship (very competitive form of sponsorship by US' universities).
- First class in Biotechnology from a federal university who pursues his graduate studies in the US. His first class was even celebrated on the front page sef.
- First class in Chemistry from a federal university, and I think should be done with his PhD in the US. Prior to leaving Nigeria, he taught GRE/GMAT to job seekers in Nigeria.
- First class in Petrochemical engineering from a state university now in Canada pursuing his MSc, and as we discussed would move to the US for his PhD. He was a math teacher prior to leaving Nigeria.

While all are first class (including others too numerous to mention), there are also those with 2.1 who get scholarship to study abroad. I know one who did and would complete his PhD this year. I know another in Germany who we communicated via Nairaland and should be done with his PhD sef. Had a 4.33 in Chemistry from a state university. Myself, I had a 2.1 and got scholarships when I arrived. My parents said either I get scholarships as 25 million would not be spent even though they had/have it. No be only me dem born.

To secure these scholarships, your profile must be competitive, as admission into grad school is very competitive. I thought competition would have reduced as Chinese students shy away from the US, but Indians don cover the gap. First class graduates are more likely to be sponsored because foreign universities judge us mainly based on our grades before other factors compared to how they would assess Americans, Europeans or Chinese. A Chinese grad with 2.1. from Fudan University has little to exhibit compared to a 2.1. from UNIBEN. To compete favourably against that Fudan grad, it is better to possess a first class.

dgee1:
Please what if you get some funding, but still have about 8k deficit. How best can one show proof of ability to cover the remaining cost, to increase the chances of one's visa getting approved? Personal account? Relative (mum, dad ,uncle, etc.) or Mpower loan? Thanks in advance for your response.

kes4glory:
Hello guys I got an offer from university of Florida, but it wasn't clearly stated if there is any form of funding available, is there anyone who can assist with alternative means of funding and the chances of visa APPROVAL

ourunivibes:


Congrats man. I want to ask did you write GRE to land that fully funded

Greatkenny2:

Congrats on your visa approval... Bro what would you say gave you an edge, I guess being fully funded right? Or the fact that it's a PhD? I'm going for a msc but with no scholarship or funding just a good account statement from a sister.. any advice?

OyoTunjiUSA:



Hey 🤠

@Alakoriomo . Common don't behave like your moniker

1. Even if you are a USA citizen your wife may decide not to stay in America with you for the rest of her life. Therefore opting for B2 visiting is her choice . It's none of the business of the consular and ** There is no law , rule or policy that says PhD student dependents or family must come to the USA on F2 visas.

2. You already told the consular that you are not married and the consular expect you to remain unmarried for life ? Common , USA consulars , embassies and government expects changes in circumstances of human beings .

Best Wishes 🙏

PrimeTEA:


Congratulations Boss. Where did you have the interview ?? Abuja or Lagos?

OyoTunjiUSA:


Hey 🤠

1. At least you are happy that you got the visa first . Someone who doesn't have a USA visa won't think about bringing in family or wife . Congratulations.

2. Your would-be wife will not have any issue joining you and she doesn't need to join you on F2 visa. She can join you via B2 visiting . Even if she joins you via F2 visa she will still need to change status before she can work because F2 visa is absolute dependent .

3. If i were you (as a smart Nigerian), i will plant a seed in her before traveling and by the time you are in the USA she would delivered . Now tell me the VO who won't allow your wife and kid to visit you ? It might not be in one appearance (depends on how you plan it) but your family will eventually join you. Let her join you on B2 visa later .

Best Wishes 🙏
