Not only that, she wouldn't have to worry about how to get to La Guardia from JFK because it would be on them.

kastgeraldino:
Oh since you're going from JFK to La Guardia, that changes the equation. Thought it was all in the same airport. Just make sure you have enough money to buy another ticket in case you miss the flight since you did not buy a single ticket. That's the advantage of a single ticket cos the airline can help you get another flight if you miss a connecting flight without you paying for it.

Why didn't you book JFK to Dallas Instead of changing airport?
The cost you are trying to save by breaking flight and changing airport may not worth it at the end of the day.

Tylerbaby:
No, it is not a single flight. They are separate flights.

Did you break your flight yourself or it is a single flight to Dallas with a layover of 3hrs 25mins?

Tylerbaby:
Hello House. I will be arriving JFK at 3:15pm, and will be taking a connecting flight at 6:40pm at LaGuardia airport to Dallas. Please is 3 hours 25mins enough to catch up with the connecting flight? Thank you.

Barter virtual dollar card and Alat virtual dollar card.
I assume the amount you have to pay is above $100 because Naira debit card won't work.

katily2:
I'm having issue making payment with WES. Please, for those that has used WES, how did you pay?

Did you transfer even before the start of the 1st semester or you had to finish the first semester before you could transfer?

winson4real:
I can only answer one of your question, which is the part where you ask if you could switch your school. Please do not switch it while you’re in Naija just to play safe but you can definitely do it when you’re in the US. I personally did that, and I know so many people that have done that. Always go to the interview with the I-20 you’re most comfortable with, and once you get to the US, you can email the school on your visas and tell them to transfer your sevis record to the other school. All they normally request for is proof of admission in the other school. For every other person thinking about this option, it can also be done across degree. That is, you can transfer your sevis record from a masters degree to even an associate degree. As long as you give them the admission letter and fill a transfer form, they have no option but to transfer you to the other school.

What if the husband is also going to apply for FI Visa?

zeeLady:
Hi Sis, if you are planning to go with your kids, you have some more homework to do. My advice:

1. Be ready for every kind of question. Write your transcript and start practicing.

2. Google schools for each of your child, based on proximity to your school/residence , price and google review, choose one school for each child. You can even print out your email correspondences with the school and go with it. So that if the VO asks, you can be specific in your response. For example, rather than say , " childcare for my 6 months old will cost around $100 a week", you say ,"child care for my 6 months old will cost $100 a week". Be specific


3. You dont pay sevis fee for F2s but you have to pay visa fee for them.


4. If possible, let your husband be your sponsor. And be ready to say what he does and i will be hoping that what he does will be huge enough to be able to cover your fees at least in the eyes of the VO.

Surplus
but be sure that your calculation is actually COA...that is when you know if you have deficit or surplus as contained in your I-20

Omonikansoso:
Hello house. I need a lil clarification. My estimated average cost for 12months is far lower than my Students funding for 12months. Is this a surplus or deficit? Thanks

Please look for schools with cheaper COA.
Why will you want to go to a community school and still have a deficit of $33k
WIU is cheap with a COA of $23k
you can google universities with cheap tuition for international students

lanrywatt:
Guys pls I quick one..

I got accepted at a community college for an MSC program with a scholarship of 11k and a deficit of 33k pls House what is the chance of being granted a visa

Secondly another school which is a university gave me 25% reduction yet my deficit is still about 50k+ is this worth going after?

Hmmm....what a myopic question.!

RENOWNED2:
word? Bruh! Will any body hire a civil turned industrial engineer though? First i'm hearing of this, mindblown!

Yes we can.
I am a Civil Engineer and I have admissions from two schools for ISE.

RENOWNED2:
i doubt civil can do a ms in industrial engr.

No, you don't have to wait for 60 days since your current Interview day is after your resumption.
And yes, it is a 50-50 chance. Just package your reason well it will fly.

DrClef:

Hello guys, I couldn’t get a good date in Abuja which is where I prefer, so I picked September 2021 but I want to apply for emergency appointment so as to get a date before start date of Aug 16th.
My question is: Must I wait till the 60 days prior to start date to apply or can I just go ahead to apply?
Also are there chances that my application will be denied?

I think there are 2
One at alakuko and the other at Lagos Island, mobolaji bank Anthony st (3.9km from embassy)

Greatajo:
I'm confused house. I checked motun international hotel and google told me the distance to the embassy is 3.9km. Someone here said its far. Please kindly shed more light as I'll soon be going for my interview and dont have anyone in Lagos

I will like to connect with students or graduates of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
Thank you.

Please can you share your transcript

KemLaughs:
Visa approved on Monday at Abuja Embassy.

- Am not married
- Never travelled out before- Fresh passport
- C0A $35,000 and no funding.

Yes, if your appointment is AFTER your resumption date, you can request for an emergency date. You don't have to wait for 60 days to your resumption.

Yelay:


God knows all things, however the possible explanation I can give is to say it could be because the regular appointment (October I was given at first fall behind the start date of my program (August).

Thank you.

sultanfortune:


You can chose to enter from any airport of your choice. When I arrived the US, I didn't enter through an airport closest to my school. You or whoever wants to use an airport, not in the state s/he will be resuming is fine.

Please I will like to confirm.
Are you saying one can enter from a different airport other than the one closest to your school for your first point of entry to USA?

TWoods:


Your brother is fine to go wherever he likes within the US. Just have your F1 visa handy (best to make a photocopy and keep in your wallet) if you are anywhere within 100 miles of a US border.

Thank you

PotentialNurse:


No, you do not need to reschedule your appointment. All you need to do is update your CGI profile with the new DS-160 number.

I have the same issue.
Are we going to need to reschedule appointment since DS-160 number is used to schedule appointment.

PotentialNurse:


Go and fill another ds-160 form then edit your CGI portal with the new one

Please. What about Research and Teaching Assistant?

Bigsecret:
Okay.

* a detailed introduction of who you are and why you are interested in that position.


Look at Supervisory questions

* Your supervisory style ( when talking about this, use the STAR to give an example of a time you supervised people)
* what you like in a supervisor ( remember to emphasize that you can work with anyone while you state what you would like)

Look at time management questions ( emphasize prioritizing, flexibility)
Look at how to support students with different identities ( especially if your interview is Student life or Reslife)

How you deal with changes ( you can use Covid as an example for this. Just emphasize your ability to adapt and flexibility)

Some of them might even ask why you chose the school. So prepare for it as well

How you show support for students


And situation questions like

* describe a time when you worked with a difficult person

* describe a time when you worked independently

* describe your ideal work environment

* describe a time follow up made a difference

* describe a time you had to respond to a crisis situation

* if your position involves mediating conflicts, you might be asked to describe a time you mediated a conflict situation?




Go to the website of the department and be aware of what they do so you can tailor your responses to suit them.

Overall be sincere and natural.

I once told an interviewer that I had no idea what she was talking about ( I did not say it like this though) and funnily, I got the assistantship. One last thing I do is that I try to push the fact that Higher Education is different in Nigeria and this helped me in all my interviews. I wish you all the best!

Hi,
They are scam.
I invested in Dec and till now I haven't been paid.
We are starting a group of people defrauded by fcn.
Please reach out to me
to be added to the group.
We want to fight back and get our money back.
Chat me up if you want to fight back.

Choca:
I don't know anyone who has been paid BY FoodCash Network despite the tenure of their investments being due. My investment is due and not one message from them. My friend's was due since December and they have been unreachable even till now.
They have not been reachable, they don't pick calls or respond to messages.
At this point it is safe to say that they are a scam scheme and people should beware of them.

Ok.
Thanks.
Their fee is quite cheap with flexible payment plan.

dodoyinsolar202:
hi.
i wouldn't know. she didn't go with any GA.

Do you know if graduate assistantship covers Tuition and stipends?

dodoyinsolar202:
hi. I have a friend there.

what happens if you had already filled and submitted DS-160 form and already booked visa appointment, do you just show up at the interview with the new I-20 form?

Futuragetty:

If you are awarded the assistantship position, The school will send a revised i-20 docs that will reflect the award of graduate assistantship position or whatever is awarded to you. If they don't do that, then you have to send an email requesting it for your own good.

Woww...that was fast.....I applied to Engineering technology since december during the free application ...yet to get response from them after i sent my proof of funding

titialayo:


I applied March 1st during their free application. 2 weeks ago they asked for my proof of funding which I sent to them immediately and yesterday I got my admission letter and i20 sent to my email. The department also asked me to fill assistantship form. What I don't understand is will they adjust the i20 when I get the assistantships offer?

same here too.
my graduate coord gave me application form. On the form, it states you have to have official acceptance before submitting the form

homodele:
Really? When I called a representative of the school she said it best I apply for the assistantship after I have been given admission. I wasn't aware we could apply for the assistantship even before receiving an admission.

Please what do you mean by you got assistantship and you don't know if it automatic.
I applied but I am at the SEND YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR I-20 PHASE .
To my knowledge of WIU, you apply for assistantship Separately it doesn't come with admission offer

titialayo:


Yes assistantship form . But I don't know if the scholarships is automatic or I need to apply for them

I noticed that MAJOR stated in the I-20 form is different from the course e.g my course is CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT and my major is CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY.
Which one will one say when asked?

NigPatriot:


What's your major? - what's your intended course of study. At this point, say all you know about your proposed course of study. If the VO feels that's not what he wants to hear, he/she will clarify. You can begin with "I am going for a PhD in Gynaecology science, in the dept of Bleep" I have been admitted for an MSc in urban studies"

Have you gotten admission?

damtan:
Hello.
Is there anyone here that applied for Western Illinois University sponsorship ( Either TA, RA or GA) and has heard back from the school?

please send me the link too jfissy@hotmail.com

Victorino25:
can you pls add me to the WhatsApp group too my email is gozieart@hotmail.com

But can one change school once in the states. I have a similar issue too. Not planning to attend the school that gave me I-20 form first but needs it to secure interview date early

EmeritusR:


to your first question you can, after paying your MRV fee you can book appointment even without paying sevis fee but make sure you pay your sevis fee 3 days prior to your visa interview

for your second question you can only apply for F1 student visa with just only one school, so I am sure if you already booked a date with Troy, you wouldn't be able to edit it again except you buy another MRV fee. so it better you check which would be best for you.

Can IELTS general be used ? Thanks you.

justwise:
