No bro, i didn't apply to KSU. Chemistry. What's your own discipline?
Having done some research online, I would say that April 15 will be key in all these. I think you will get funding also.
Goodluck to us.

Electrical Engineering.

God will crown our efforts with success.

Congratulations

As long as you are in the States, you do not need to renew your visa, except if you will be traveling to return after July.
You can not do Dropbox from outside the place you got the current visa.
You might want to try going to Mexico or Canada before this expires and renew on return at the land borders.

USA F1visa renewal on OPT.
Hello all, has anyone tried renewing their F1 visa while on OPT/STEM OPT? My visa expires July 2023, currently on OPT but I want to know if anyone has renewed their F1 visa on OPT or if they have tried using Dropbox while still being in the US. Thanks

yes you can, no implications.

Donblaize:
Gurus in the house please is it possible to defer one's admission to another year after obtaining Visa?? What are the implications

Donblaize:
Gurus in the house please is it possible to defer one's admission to another year after obtaining Visa?? What are the implications

There are implications, if you do not resume classes after a month , the school would notify the embassy and your visa would be canceled . I know someone with this experience.

Donblaize:
Gurus in the house please is it possible to defer one's admission to another year after obtaining Visa?? What are the implications

You'll have to discuss with your school. Most schools will allow you defer your admission.

Your situation is a bit weird though. Why defer admission when you've already obtained your visa?

petertunde:

Please I'm interested. Did you mean transfer to another person application or which new one?

No, you paid sevis with let us say university of Georgia, visa got denied and you have another admission at university of Maryland, so you can transfer your sevis that way if not upto a year you paid. You cannot transfer to someone else.

Ok good to know.

Kindly help me review my proposed transcript
Transcript

Why UND
Asides the fact that I got full funding from the school, I was interested in the on going research of an an assistant professor on the use of micro organism in generating hydrogen fuel which is a renewable energy from organic waste and plant biomass, I reached out to him and he advised me to apply, also grand forks where UND is situated is known to be an agricultural state and this will also be of benefit to my research


How did you get funding?
I wrote to the professor whose research interests aligns with mine. An interview was scheduled where I spoke about my research interest and my knowledge of micro organisms and how it will be of benefit in his ongoing project and my funding was approved


Why energy engineering? After Nysc, I worked with an NGO in the northern Nigeria and discovered that a lot of attention was focused on the health and feeding of the idps with little attention to their energy issues , my knowledge in Mcb 405(industrial microbiology) made me understand that asides from food preservation and vaccines, microbes play an important role in energy generation. This spiked my interest and I decided to do an extensive research on it


What is your research interest? The use of micro organisms in generating renewable energy from organic waste and plant biomass


What is your post study plan? After my study, I will be returning to Nigeria in order to apply the knowledge I have acquired in solving energy problems in Nigeria and also reduce the effect of climate change from burning fossil fuel


What will be your responsibility as a graduate assistant?
I will be working as a research assistant in the on going project of the assistant professor


What is your study plan?
I will be taking a total of 30 unit course work during my stay with a maximum of 9units per semester which includes bio energy resources and systems, project management and other related courses


Why are you going to the US?
To pursue a master degree in energy engineering from the University of North Dakota


How did you come about this school?
After an extensive research online, I came across the ongoing research of an assistant professor whose research interests aligns with mine…I sent him an email and he advised me to apply


How many schools did you apply to?
One

When did you graduate? 2017


What have you been doing?
After my graduation and I went for the mandatory Nysc, after my Nysc I worker as a contract staff for Christain aid and dhcbi (NGOs).
After my contract I returned to Lagos and has been volunteering with a microbiology lab where I help design microorganisms as catalyst for bio energy fermentation


What will this degree do for you?
This degree will equip me with the right knowledge to enable me return to Nigeria and apply it in the energy sector as Nigeria not just to provide energy but ensure the energy is renewable and this will go a long way to reduce the effect of climate change

Good evening everyone, I noticed my full name is not on the visa application portal (I mean I just filled my first name and last name). However in all my other documentations like my passport, ds 160, visa fee receipt, I have my full name (first name, middle name and surname). I read some place that this might pose some challenge. I sent a mail to the consular guys to update my name and they replied that they cannot update my biological information. Please how does one advise I proceed.

please how much is visa fee now?

Hi guys!! Good evening.

Please am I supposed to make payment for my visa fee before starting the application or there’s gonna be a pop-up for me to make payments?

So we have to get something meaningful to convince the VO ...So please can you help me build up my point @ Biglyanga 🙏

So you dont want to tell the VO that you ARE NOT in school ?
you would want me to come up with stories that would make sense to the vo?

I dont think that it should a problem since your passport, 1-20 etc have alll your full name. Abeg, focus your mentals on smashing your interview. Good luck
