You will be responded to, the delay is as a result of your resumption date….response will come just in time


I applied March 7 and my resumption date is May15th. Travel date is April 15. And I’ve not gotten a response yet.

What could be wrong?

In addition to what you said, he has to be clearer on the overall GPA his cumulative is equated to.

Last I checked, most Nigerian universities use different cumulative GPA. Example, 3.1/4.00 is not bad per say, but 3.1/5.00 would definitely court attention during review by the admission committee of any school involved.

I was given admission by University of Georgia with full tuition waver and assistanship despite having cgpa of 3.18/5.... With gre of 330/340...very strong sop and CV,backed with four recommendation letters, two from my lectures and other two from my former employer and present employer.
If your cgpa is low it doesn't matter, what they will look at is if you were involved in extra activities during your undergraduate that leads to benefit of your former school.with this they will take it as this is what distracted you to perform very well during your undergraduate.
Good GRE result attested to this fact and make them assume thats exactly what happened.lol
All this depends on how you play your game jare.

With this CGPA you can even get PhD straight all you need is to use google to search for schools that fits your profile.

Print the letter and add your passport to the package and send to Abuja via your chosen DHL office that's it.

Laughter93:
Please does anyone have information about or experience with F1/F2 interview waiver in Abuja? Can I send my documents from any of the designated DHL offices to Abuja embassy or do I have to go to the embassy in person? There is also no appointment time scheduled, all I have is an interview waiver confirmation letter (I don't really understand the document drop-off information on the interview waiver confirmation letter).
I will appreciate any information or clarity on the matter.
Thanks in advance.

It is paid through someone in the US. They'd go to any western union office, present your coupon and compete the payment.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by ikeolafarm: 7:11am On Mar 27, 2022
Please help clear my confusion

1. With a PhD full funding, is it advisable to apply for the student's I-20 and that of the dependent at the same time?
2. Will there be a need to provide for living expenses of the dependent outside of the funding or the funding can cover both of them?
3. If they are to apply for it same time, can they attend visa interview same time?
4. Are they going to fill separate DS 160 form? If yes, how can they plan to attend interview together?
5. How do you advise the dependent to answer the question 'why do you want to go with your spouse?

Thank you.

Thank you for the brilliant response. One more thing, I'm making enquiry based on study visa entry. If you complete a Masters program in USA and you start working based on your Post Study Work Permit, how can one later secure the H1B visa? Are there companies in USA that are permitted or licensed to sponsor your visa and transition from study visa to H1B visa?
In the UK, they use Shortage Occupation List; and if you get job in one of the listed skilled Occupation with a company that is licensed to sponsor an individual with a tier 2 visa, you'll remain in UK indefinitely (same as PR).
So my question is How does one transition from student visa to a sponsorship work visa in USA? Is it possible to get a H1B visa after studies? Are Social Workers an in-demand skill in USA that is prioritized like nurses etc?
Finding a licensed company to sponsor your H1B is not so easy
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Systrom(m): 7:54am On Mar 27, 2022
Sakasitay:


You may have to research more. There are some paths through which one can attain the PR in the long haul:

1. Find a company that will be willing to sponsor your H1B visa for a couple of years, until you qualify to apply for a green card. Your work permit would be tied to your company, until you become independent.

Most immigration consultants believe that an average H1B visa lasts three years, after which a candidate is eligible to file for a green card - that may take a couple of months too, if not 1 year plus..

2. Marry person wey get kpali (citizen), that’s if you are unmarried o.

You asked a good question: it shows that you want to have a good plan. Let no one discourage you from seeking answers.
If someone is married in Nigeria and filled it in the visa application, will the person still be able to marry a US citizen ?

Since the marriage is not registered in the US, yes it is possible. But is it moral? Of course NOT!

Can anyone help me out

You have such an impressive GRE score. You should look at medium-ranked schools in the US. Every state has them, beginning with AL (Alabama) to WY (Wyoming). Easiest schools to get in, as seen on this thread, are ball state uni, west texas a&m, marshall uni, eastern Michigan, georgia southern uni, east tennessee state

Greetings mate, I applied for emergency request some days ago and till now I have not got a response from the Lagos embassy. Has anyone successfully got an approval? Pls help as my resumption date is getting closer. Sincere appreciations.

This matter tire me too. I traveled to Nigeria for spring break and other urgencies, and I, unfortunately, missed the date given to me due to flight delays. I have made emergency request with no response for almost 2 weeks now. Terrible customer service from the embassy
