Hello guys, please a quick one. My PI that I reached out to said she will like to work with me but she also gave me a contact of another of her colleagues that might be interested in working with me. Please will it be ok for me to tell her to put in words about me with that her colleague or I should just go ahead and send mail to the person. Thanks

Hello. Looks like you’re in the science field and most likely looking to do research since you mentioned PI. No you don’t need to tell her to put in any words for you yet. I’d suggest you reach out to the new professor and indicate your research interest to him/her. You can also include in the mail that “Prof. xxxxx suggested we might be a good fit in terms of research.” Make sure you include your CV/Resume and undergraduate transcript if possible. Best.

Hello, i went for my visa interview this morning at the lagos, Nigeria embassy today.


Unfortunately i was denied for the f1 student visa at the cosulate. The visa officer asked me just three questions and the interview went like this.,


Vo: why are you going to the united states?
Me: I'm going to the united state for my undergraduate program to study public health and wellness in rowan university
Vo:what attracts you to this university?
Me: i was attracted to this university initially because of its uniqueness of having two medical campuses, one in stratford and the other in camden, they also have the best facilities for course, i also love their class module and size in which i dont have to struggle to hear what the lecturer is saying.
Vo:I've you been out of the country before?
Me:no i haven't, i have no reason to.

Then he gave me back my passport and i20 with the blue paper.
What could be the issue?

Your reason for choosing the university is very vague. You should have talked about how it will help you future ambition, how the courses are tailored, the school's research areas etc.

Kindly read the transcripts of other people in this thread and make the necessary adjustments. All the best.

Pls I need a response.

My I-20 has resumption date of Aug 18 and I am going for interview on Aug 30. I hope taking I-20 of a backed date won’t affect my chance of being approved?

Hello everyone on here. I have been a guest for quite a while now, reading and picking up a thing or two but now I really have to make this post and hopefully get responses that help ease my anxiety.
I have been admitted to study Nursing in a school in NYC, to resume this week even, hoping to get a response for my expedited interview request ASAP. I really haven’t seen anyone (Undergraduate Nursing specifically) post transcripts here and I am really curious as to what kind of questions to expect, please I would really appreciate if anyone can help in this regards. I am a Bachelors degree holder, recently completed, yet to do my Youth service, hoping to do it later too.
Also, my I-20 has my resumption date which would not correlate with my actual date of arrival in the US (me speaking with faith), what can I do as regards this?
Finally, I really hope my using my uncle, who is a citizen of the US and currently residing in another state other than the one my school is located, as sponsor won’t be a problem (even though my older sister actually resides in the same state as my school).
I sha have plenty things getting me worried and anxious. Please anyone, help!

US and UK are the most wicked countries in the world.

Now they are evacuating Afghans from the Taliban ridden Afghanistan, giving them free trip to their countries without documentation, and without visa.

This shows that the US and UK has the capability and capacity of taking in a lot of people into their country, because there is enough space.

So what is the need or reason of denying Nigerians visa to go to school, people who are properly documented and have paid all necessary fees, just going for studies. You deny them out of shear pride and wickedness.

Create War in Nigeria. Ask Buhari and his Bamdit brothers to Start what they are planning so that 120million people can travel to the US undocumented… We can then hail the US once again.

Your visa fee allows you to choose only 2 date once you exceed that you will have to pay a new fee

Hi Guys, I really need your advice and imput and I am more than ready to do the needful. I want to start school in the US as early as possible -January if possible.

I have 4 years post-nysc experience in real estate firm, the challenge is I really want a full scholarship as I am self funded. I Intend pursuing Masters in finance or business analytics or an Mba, but with my research I dicovered full scholarship on Mba is rare.

You can explain the reason for your low cgpa in the optional essays showing them significant improvement with your GRE score Here is a link to a community for intending MBA application members https://mailchi.mp/06ad5d61f643/lanemembership

You don’t get my point

My point is: the US has no reason to deny someone F1 visa

After the person has gotten admitted to a US institution, paid acceptance fee, paid SEVIS, paid visa fee, etc

It’s just wickedness to be honest
