odion117938:After interview and visa approval, reach out to your school for extension letter. They can also make a remark on your I-20 allowing you entry after 22nd, Aug. You'd need it at the POE. 1 Like |

CreativeWeb: Hello creativeweb and everyone, please help me out on this issue. I have been working as a teacher for the past 3years. I studied Economics Education in my undergraduate program. I want to start applying for masters but I don't want to do it in education rather I want to go into finance or economics major. Contrarily, I noticed that work(ing) experience has impact on getting visa. Because VO always ask questions in this area. Please what do you guys suggest. Would I get more chance in education path or I can switch? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by CreativeWeb(m): 12:58pm On Jul 30, 2022 |
Agbeni33: So is your experiences around education in economics? I think you can switch based on your future plan for yourself. So, you can always tell VO your future plan and while this switch in Masters is necessary to match with what you want to do when you are done with your Masters. Think of why you want to switch. Think of the career you want to go into. Then, use it to convince the VO. Also, a pressing need or persistent problem around you may inspire your passion and push you to change career. For instance, if you did biology education and you are teaching biology in a school in your community, but there's no health centre in your community or the one there is not functioning or they usually lack steady availability of health professionals. This can move you to switch to accelerated nursing program in US or Masters in Public Health or Masters in Nutrition or Masters in Environmental Biology so that you come back and proffer solutions to the health challenges in your community. 2 Likes |

Olu1991: I think you were not answering the question straight as they came. Trying culminating other aspect of your experience shouldn’t becloud the real answers. Most times less is more . Lastly, you don’t bring your colleague studying in the same university in. It’s like you’re following him and don’t know why you want to go there. That’s my take on few errors I’ve seen 5 Likes |
