My brother had his interview last week Friday, July 8.

First Attempt for F-1 Visa
Previously denied B1/B2 renewal in 2019
Degree: Masters of Law (LLM)
Scholarship : $45,000
Deficit: $45,000
Window 5: Young Lady
Lagos Consulate

Me: Good morning
V. O: Good morning

(I then passed my I-20 and passport to her)

V. O: Why are you going to this school?

Me: My near term goal is to work for the United Nations here in Nigeria and also represent international clients. To achieve this, I need a master’s degree in international law. Recognizing this fact, I shortlisted three schools with high ranking in International law. I choose XX university because it ranked higher. It was ranked to be a university with very high research activities and thereby making it one of the top universities nationwide.

V.O: How are you funding your study?

Me: I got a $45,000 scholarship in tuition and the deficit will be covered by my father. He is the CEO and chairman of *** **** company. He has properties scattered across the country. He has…

V. O: You said he has?

Me: Several properties all over the country.

V. O: Ok

V.O: So, what do you do?

Me: I work at ***** *****Ltd as an associate in the real estate and construction department. Handling complex litigation and transactional matters.

V. O: You work there for how long now?

Me: One year now

V.O: One year?

Me: Yes

V. O: Ok. Have you been to the U.S before?

Me: Yes, I went to the U.S in 2017 with my parents on a vacation

V.O: Ok. Do you have a sibling there?

Me: Yes, I have a brother in the U.S

V.O: What does he do there?

Me: He works for the XX government as a senior engineer helping the state to achieve their clean energy and climate goal.

V.O: Which school did he go to?

Me: He attended Bleep for his master’s degree and XX for his Ph.D.

V.O: Ok

(She then kept typing and typing then took out a white paper and said…)

V.O: Your visa has been approved. Take this for information to pick up your passport.

Me: As Omolomo wey I be. I Just said thank you and picked the white paper, then I walked out.

Guys, I am in a dilemma.

I registered for GRE with an agent I met here on Nairaland and paid 68k for the exam. The guy did the registration for me, but after sometime, I noticed an outstanding of $250.38 on my GRE test profile due to chargeback. I informed him, he said he would rectify it. I think he did, because the outstanding payment was cleared.

After sometime, an outstanding payment of $280.38 appeared on my GRE test profile again, still as a result of chargeback. This time I became worried that the guy might be making the payments through fraudulent means, as the payments keep being reversed with a higher charge. When I notified him, he said he would fix it and that I should not worry and keep studying for my test. He eventually fixed it (or so I thought) and the outstanding payment was cleared.

Today, I decided to check my GRE test profile, and I noticed an outstanding balance of $310.38 has resurfaced on my GRE account, still as a result of chargeback. I have asked for a refund from the guy (I hope he gives me), but I am considering registering for the GRE with a new account I have already created.

My question is will there be any consequence(s) if I register for the GRE test with another new account. I don't want a situation where this outstanding fee will be transferred to my new account, because as it is now, the outstanding balance on this account where the agent helped me to make payments is already far higher than the original GRE registration fee.

Please experienced guys in the house, advise a brother.
Yes Dear, they will catch you unless you want to register with a different profile entirely which is not possible considering ur other academic credentials, my advice is that if he refunds you find a way to add money and pay the money legitimately to avoid being banned by ETS, case closed.

I doubt if they will catch him. Several people answer the same name, and coincidentally have the same DOB. He should use another email. Nothing will happen. I had similar problems then and I opened a new account with another email, then registered and paid myself using barter by flutterwave.

Hi,
My cousin was in 3rd year at a federal University. due to strike, I advised him to apply for an UG programme. He sat for a fresh waec exam and used it for an undergraduate visa application.

Unfortunately, his application was declined. He is considering his options as he will be graduating this year,( if the strike is called off) and apply again.

This time, he wants to apply for a graduate program. I want to know if this would be a problem, having entered in his Ds-160 that he graduated High-school last year.

I feel bad because I talked him into doing this and even filled his Ds-160.

Will this be a problem at all?

Wahala o wa Po ju bayii embarassed well he should finish his MSc and use the wait time to do his Masters in Nigeria before applying again.

Is there any free transcript evaluation site? If no, what happens if I submit my transcript from my institution directly to the schooling I’m applying for without WES evaluating it

She will have to do her own research. Although the GRE score is on the low side but she should still find a school that will fund her partially base on her GPA and experience. Google can do a lot more than you can imagine though.

hello house...I have some questions that have been bothering me...
1. is it a must to write a standardized test like TOEFL,SAT, GRE e.t.c. even if the school doesn't request for it? I already applied for a Uni in USA that waived IELTS and GRE even the application fee.
2. if someone doesn't need to write any test according to the school admission system...how will someone tel the Visa officer that the school doesn't request for it?

a quick response will be highly appreciated.

Simple, just tell the visa officer the school waived it and didn't request for it. No need to lie. Say it as it is. And no its not a must to write those test especially when ur school and dept waived it.

Yes, the person can. But if approved, the passport will not be retained and the person will be told to comeback (usually Yellow slip would be given) at a later date to submit for visa issuance.

Or the passport would be collected by the consular officer and the applicant told to expect an email or text indicating when it would be ready for collection.

This is because Visa issuance has to be within 120 days of Program start date.
