Congratulations Slimmy!!!

Thanks

I heard someone saying that international student never get funded, How true is that?

Not true!

slimmy05:
Without working or serving the department?

It's possible

biikeys:


It's possible

Can you state instance or name of the scholarship?

slimmy05:
Can you state instance or name of the scholarship?

Hi slim. Congrats on your visa.
Please I'd like to ask you. Did you GA cover 100%?
Were you given a stipendstipend?

I'm not trying be intrusive. The reason why I'm asking is because my program is saying they give tuition waiver + stipend if I get admission (competitive as hell)

So I'd like to know what financial obligation I'm up against so I can start planning. Thank you sir.

slimmy05:
Can you state instance or name of the scholarship?

The ones I've seen are Departmental merit scholarships, Corporate scholarships, certain Memorial and Honor scholarships...very competitive, but mostly you only have to maintain a certain minimum CGPA to keep it..in those cases, you don't have to work for/with a Professor or the department

Congrats Slimmy my brother. You deserve the best. I wish you all the best. Happy new year.

[quote author=richard4ssky post=29392998]Thanks to all the big boss and lady in the forum.

I am headed to Murray state but I have deferred to Fall 2015.

LWKMD...

imperiouxx:


Even that comes with prize and efforts.

If one's info is already in a state of mess, getting the GC can be thing of story.

Also for a clean application, It's not an easy thing like just marry and walk in to USCIS office and get the GC.

How do you do?

It's not easy I know, but the success rate has been high than it has failed. When I mentioned easy, I was referring to its ease compared to other common green card routes (the green card by job route takes as many as 6 years - you're first hired on H1B work visa valid for 6 years maximum, during that time frame you'll have to lobby your company to file for your green card for you, and must be at the top of your class to 'merit' company sponsorship in the first place, and the green card by business - not everyone is business minded and can run a business successfully to produce the required $500,000 in income statement profits). A nairaland member here, I won't mention his name, got his green card by marriage within 13 months of his arrival in the US.

In all, I'd always advice that we remain positive. Such mindset will keep one going in US.

I'm doing fine my brother. I'm currently preparing to take the CCNA exam by this month end.

slimmy05:
Will definitely try my best. Wish you all the best bro. Please, do well to contact me when you're set to hit the embassy.

Okay big boss.... I will send you pm now

seangy4konji:
Hello. In thus guys case?is he going to schedule another interview date to be able to show devised receipt or how is he going to present the receipt?

You should be giving a paper that will allow you to be able to come back to the embassy. I dont think you need to pay visa fee and schedule another date

Perotti:
Guys pls my international passport expired in November, 2014. How much does renewal cost in Nigeria? Secondly, is it advisable to dump an already commenced masters degree study in Nigeria for masters in the US esp in a STEM course?

You can renew with same amount they pay for a new passport for new applicant

justwise:


It's one of the easiest ways to mortgage your life especially if there is no love in that marriage and a child is involved.

True talk.

Theflint1:
Happy new year my friends, this new year shall be one of unmerited favours and success for us all...Amen. To and all that have been granted visas, wanna say a big congrats to you all, we shall all meet on the side of success.

Amen in the Name of Jesus..

imperiouxx:
First of all, Happy new year to every thread member. I wish y'all and me a blessed year 2015.

Thank God I'm catching up with the world now. I left off at 25 pages.

A lot is going on the thread oo.

Same to you Sir..

How the celebration with your family?

Happy New year! Expecting everyone and wishing every one going for interview the best of luck....

Happy New Year, guys. Next year is gonna be in America.

Ok so why did the VO ask you for a sponsor?
I don't have one.
If i get full tuition waiver isn't that enough?

It's good to know you're good.

Yea, I understand you. Also a friend on F1 got here in Aug 2013, married in Oct 2013 and got GC in March 2014. That's short but it comes with some kind of efforts.

Wow...That means you still have 12 hours to work if you want, am I correct?
