Please did you provide GRE/GMAT test score?

Hello friends, I'm new here.
Got Fall admission and graduate assistantship, with a full tuition waiver, living expenses, housing and flight.
My Nigerian Uni seems to be delaying the sending of my transcript to the US, and of course without it, they will not release the I-20. US school intends to email the I-20 so I'm sure to get it with 48 hours of transcript getting there. I need that I-20 like yesterday...
I can already see interview dates in Lagos showing January 2022 (too late), and Abuja showing July, still too late. I don't want emergency.
Please anyone with useful info here should help a brother- connect, advice, etc. Still pressing exams and records to do the needful though. I feel like I should travel down there and gatecrash them till they send it. I want it to leave this week.

Don't be thinking. Enter the next flight to your school and chase down that transcript. You would be amazed at the speed it will be processed if you are physically there.

You should try evaluating your result with WES. It mostly likely will get to 3.00/4.00.

omo nobody can help any one in this situation it’s just hope that the embassy opens more dates or you book emergency appointment when it’s 60 days to your program to get a closer date

Is it advisable to book the emergency appointment now, because I have a feeling that there would be too many people if I wait for that 60 days.

Because my school just sent my I-20 last week and I am sure other schools haven't sent theirs...

It's like I am the only one with this issue and I don't know the jazz you people used for this thing because I did all the necessary applications ASAP

I saw an opened graduate assistantship position, so I sent in my application (resume and just few lines of text in the body of the mail).
Then I got a response from the director of the unit where the position is opened asking for my intended course of study.
My intended course of study is among the eligible programs list.
Sharparly I sent it to her and she responded by acknowledging the receipt of the update.

Family, should I start dancing grin

I would advice you don't get carried away. Save the dancing for when it's official. For now, constantly follow up. And do it "kindly".

It will end in your favour.

I wish you well.

you are definitely not the only one with this issue
I can’t see any date in Lagos shows me nothing but for a lot of people shows jan 2022
But in Abuja I’m seeing October 5th 2021

And there are some people that are not even seeing any dates at all
So are we plenty
Don’t book an emergency date if it’s not 60 days from your program start date they would reject it

I paid my visa fee since last month beginning and I haven’t seen date
Let’s hope dates pop up this new month
And by the way fall 2021 students are meant to be in the embassy from like April ending so there’s still time in a way

Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it.

Yes. I have secured a funded position.

If asked; why are you not applying from your home country. I intend to relay; I got admitted for the doctoral position and needed to apply for the F-1 visa whilst still busy with my MSc program (here in South Africa).

I would also like to know if I have a fully-funded position, will I still be required to provide the vo with a statement of account (to prove additional sources of funding for travels and miscellaneous). If the answer is in the affirmative, how much on average is expected in the bank account and am I allowed to use my personal statement or it must be that of a parent (or guardian)?

Thanks again.

Your answer is tenable. Sounds convincing.

Congratulations on your funding, you can also contribute your quota by sharing with the house, how you got your funding - this might help someone.

If you have a fully funded position. It's not compulsory to go ahead with any statement of account, as long as the scholarship covers the entirety of tuition and expenses without deficit. Then you're good to go.

If you're to go with a statement of account - in a case where you have deficits. The amount there should be sufficient enough to meet any deficits. It's could be from your Uncle, parents or yourself. Always preferable to get statement of account from someone directly related to you, as this is more convincing on why they will be willing to pay so much for you. Take for instance you go with soa from your boss or a complete stranger, the logical question going on in the mind of the VO will be, why would a stranger want to invest so much on you. That already strikes an immigrant intent.

I wish you well

Hello everyone,

I am currently finishing up my studies in Russia. I got accepted into a fully-funded program in the US starting August. I filled the DS-160 form indicating that I plan to have the interview here in Russia. However, when I enter my email and password on the Cgifederal website, it automatically redirects me to the US Embassy in Nigeria. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? How can I schedule my interview outside Nigeria?

Again, thank you so much for your brilliant inputs.

I applied to the (doctoral) positions with the regular academic credentials (without GRE and TOEFL). But this time, I really worked painstakingly (and outsourced assistance, when necessary) on my CV and SOP. Instead of sending a generic CV and SOP as I did in the past, I decided to tailor them to each program specifications.

Yeah. The program is fully-funded. I was just concerned the vo might want me to demonstrate proof of funds for travel expenses and settling cost (prior to receiving my first stipend).

Additionally, if there is anyone interested in a PhD in Infectious Disease. Feel free to check out Infectious Disease Interdisplicinary Graduate Education Program at Virginia Tech (you might need to email the program before applying for Fall 2021). Also, the application window for PhD in Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences is still open at the same school (Deadline is 1st of April for Fall) while spring entry is also available.

Thanks again, Boss!

Can we create a community/group just for our fellow people struggling with this same issue....at least, so we can notify ourselves on time.

Because, as soon as they open more slots...the next 30 minutes will be a matter of life and death.

What do you think?
