Please good day house am applying for msc engineering management I’ve applied for some schools have not been able to get graduate assistantship for spring don’t know if am applying to the wrong schools my profile is b.tech 3.21/4 and Gre 320 how do I increase my chances and anybody gotten ga in engineering management or industrial engineering masters or phd please help out

Chances of getting a GRA/GTA from Nigeria in Engineering Management is very slim. Core research Engineering programs are more funded.

Your only chance is you coming here with assistantship and hustle for an administrative GA. Goodluck

With or without?

Hey guys, please I need a quick advise.

My elder brother is a Masters student of Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts

and I just got admission to University of Massachusetts, Boston for my own Masters too.

It’s totally a coincidence that we would be in the same city.

Please, do I stand a chance of getting a visa or I would be thought to be an intending immigrant?

I've seen a girl get visa for University of Minnesota Mankato even after mentioning her brother was there and doing his OPT

Globalk:
I was previously booked appointment to Abuja , can I change to Lagos?

Yes you can. Some people did it that way

Ohenhend1:
Please all Is it possible to reschedule an emergency visa appointment after receiving an email that your emergency interview application is rejected?
I am to resume 18th January 2022 and unable to secure emergency interview appointment.
Please kindly assist.

Apply for surge date through the mail

Kiiishiii:



Send a mail to LagosStudents@state.gov and attach all the necessary documents

ok, thanks

Good people of Nairaland…
I heard somewhere that most Phd international students are usually fully funded. See I’m very new to this and I’m on this page to get enough information as to application process and tips…
I hope to write GRE, Ielts and Toefl starting January and to schools immediately my results are out. But the financial burden is what I’m scared of. If I can get funding, I’m good.
My question: is it possible to get full funding if my gre and Toefl are great?

Is there any school ready to take students while putting funding into consideration?


What exactly does full funding cover… school fees and accommodation or just school fees?

I’m 32, planning to run my PhD just now (never felt the need to leave this country until I saw the new price of bag of rice)… never married, no kid(s), I have a few plots of land and car (to probably use as ties back home or however that works)…


Is my age or marital status an issue?


I’m in the humanities (faculty of Arts)


I’ve been checking on many schools and all I see are “Tuition and fees”. Does this mean school fees and accommodation, etc or just fees and books?
I’ll be super glad to hear answers so I know what to do with my life.
Remember, I’m new at this. Please don’t laugh at me oooo
Thank you!

A response would make my week tbh

Hello Everyone!

Please, I need you guys to help me with this question.
I have been trying to create an account on the cgi website so that I can apply for an interview date but it hasn’t been going through since last week even now.
The website is telling;
I1. Your request cannot be processed at this time. The site administrator has been alerted
2. User could not be created. Please ensure First name and Last name are entered as they are in your passport.

At first I thought it was a general issue not until I saw someone said that as at yesterday, 4th of December there was still available date for 2022. Please, is it a general issue or it’s personal?

Ps: my names are correctly spelt just the same way it appears on my passport.
Thank you

Gent2nice:
Yes that is acceptable. That is what I did. Go with both confirmation pages and showed them the latest one for your interview.

Thanks

Please kindly assist.

By default, I think all ea applications through cgi are being refused but if you apply for surge dates via email you will likely get a date

Apply for the surge date by sending ds160 confirmation page, i20, sevis fee reciept, Visa fee reciept and biodata page of passport via email.

Here's the email for Lagos:

Send a mail to LagosStudents@state.gov and attach all the necessary documents

For Abuja, please read this thread, you'll find it somewhere.

I will come here and give testimony by next year, amen

The next thread will be filled with testimonies and good news.

The course there is not English proficiency but Liberal arts

Hi Hi, I never knew a thread like this existed. Thanks guys.
I’m to commence my RA and GA for masters in TnTech Tennessee on 3rd Jan, and classes begin 10th Jan. My Visa interview was initially scheduled for 7th Dec but suddenly I saw an email of a shift to 12th Jan. That’s far from my scheduled resumption… what can I do? I applied for another emergency Visa schedule (I had applied before to get the 7th date)… do you think the embassy just shifts Visa dates abruptly?
Please someone talk to me. I have got funding and don’t wanna miss it.
Lastly is there anyone going to Tennessee, TnTech??

Fawaz12345:
Hello guys I want to apply for a visit visa (renewing)it I’ve been there once after renewing it I’ll travel again and change to F1 visa student visa and apply to Hcc community college maybe my brother and sister are studying there also, I’ve been denied canada visa twice.
What do you guys think will I get it?
And what are the disadvantages of community college? I can’t apply for pr after the two years?

Where are my experts?

Adewaale:
With or without?

With or without what?

Please respond to your mail. I'm going to TTU too

Can one apply for a surge at lagos even though he was initially scheduled for Abuja and the DS-160 is also Abuja?

Answers to all your questions are in the previous pages. I would advise that you flip through this thread at your leisure.

Check your profile if you can apply for another emergency date.

Good day everyone, I was denied an f1 last week. I really want to try again but my case is a lill different from others on the thread of experiences here.

I had once(6yrs ago) been to Texas on b1/b2, I delivered my twins children there(all bills paid and left within 4months, so I didn't overstay), my hubby (got his visa 6months after I returned)in his 1st attempt to travel was denied entry and visa cancelled(same week Trump was sworn in). Three month after his cancellation, I applied for my daughter's b1/b2 and renewed my expired visa(draw box era). Five months(2019) to expiring I attempted to travel with all my children but we were denied board(on connection flight to US) after a stop over at Dubai- Emirates flights. So I stayed away from anything US until recently when I got admission to a college in Texas still. Details on I-20:
Total cost for 2 yrs- $10,000
Sponsor- family friend

Interview experience:
V.O - Good morning
Me- Good morning
V.O- pass documents
Me- here
V.O- What's your present qualification
Me- Masters in business administration
V.O- what are you going to study now
Me- Associate degree in Physical Therapy
V.O- more like you changing your career path
Me- Exactly
V.O- why?
Me- after covid, work experience has been changed and no longer deriving any satisfaction in my job, so I resigned and started a business of mine which is registered and striving good. Meanwhile, I had 2 business ideas and this course is to help me kick on the 2nd which is to set up a rehab center.

V.O- why the school?
Me: affordable and small class size which will foster personal attention.

V.O- who's your sponsor?
Me- myself and Mrs...who is a psychiatrist nurse practitioner in... In Texas.
V.O- and she is your friend?(although I didn't hear dat right and just assumed that was what he intended).
Me: Yes.
V.O: I'm sorry u are not qualified.....
Me- thank you.

Kindly advise if anything looks wrong with this. Meanwhile, I have another reason (health on my citizen son) to apply for b1/b2, can I apply for that immediately?

I do not intend to give up on my f1 too, since I can't get another emergency appointment (although I haven't tried) what can I do to keep my admission intact?
Pls you advice is needed as I'm on the system to hit another DS 160.

Fawaz12345:

Where are my experts?

Is it possible to be sent back when you have a valid canada visa and you are on transit,
Is it possible to be returned back to ur home country
Reason being that you are travelling earlier than you are suppose to ..for instance you are meant to resume by October for but you are traveling March
Can you be denied access to reaching ur final destination ..because a friend of mine said she was sent back from germany
Back to Nigeria and was asked to return when he's time of study is near ..I wanna know how possible that is ?

do no guese . if you didn't hear what was asked simply ask the vo to clarify the question. its possible that wasn't what he asked and you said yes . also if your business was striving really fast . you didn't need your family friend to sponsor you. your husband would have been Thebes sponsor . also going to study a course in the us and your sponsor is certified in that field and also an immigrant to . there is every possibility that you may likely not come back. that's why you where denied .
