udeyokay:Going back for further study doesn't affect your status as a business man. All you need to state is your desires and what motivated you to dust your certs for masters degree. I have learnt a lot over the past and I took my time to study VO's. Interview decision are most times based on the VO's discretion as at the time of the interview if he should issue you visa or not. Your qualification or work experience might not come handy in some cases. My first interview denial was a shock. The VO made some very shallow statements and if in a real working country I would have replied in a not so good way. He demanded for my certificate which wasn't ready and I told him it's not ready yet. What I had with me then was my statement of result. He was wondering for 4years no cert, well shame on Nigerian institution. The second interview, she didn't even ask me for any document not even GRE or Ielts result or bank statement. Just the letter of scholarship and that was it. |

Not excellent and not bad... I am not sure for underg requirements but for graduate requirements, lots of school requires 79 in TOEFL so your score should suffice depending on your course.. seangy4konji: |

seangy4konji: Irrespective of whether you choose to stay behind or not, that's a personal decision up to the applicant himself. What we are talking about here is getting your visa in the first place and one sure way of doing that is by selling yourself well. It's all about marketing yourself. How well do you market yourself to the visa officer? One good way of doing that is from how intelligent/smart you appear to the visa officer. This you can prove by your art of speaking and/or if you have good grades already, by presenting your grades. Note, this is not always the case as there are always exceptions to every rule, but this 'rule' is definite on its own. As for the statistics you mentioned, you could google that up. Know that the actual number of Nigerian F1 students who return home (and other international students too) is very small compared to the number that stay behind after study, save for the chinese students who actually return home athan they stay behind. You think the US embassy doesn't know how to tighten the home ties proof? Why do you think the interview process is simply just a dialogue? Why do you think the US embassy doesn't ask for landed/building documents, marriage certificate, job letter, or other home-ties proof to ensure that you are returning back to Nigeria after study? Why do you think the home ties rules are so lax? Or why do you think the US government is planning the immigration overhaul to effectively increase the number of visas for international students who studied in the US, to have them remain behind? The embassy knows you are, more likely than not, not coming back to your country. The statistics are there. Whether you choose to return to Nigeria to contribute positively to it after your study or you choose not to remains up to you. Well, if you actually return, great then. Good for you. They don't care. Give the VO the reason to believe you got potential and they'll most definitely grant you your visa. At the end of the day, over 85% will remain behind, those ones being the 'smart'/'intelligent' ones they let come in, who will go on to work hard and contribute positively to the economy and their economy progresses. A win situation for them and loss situation for Nigeria due to brain drain. The brain drain problem that has been talked about where our smartest ones are swallowed up by foreign countries where they contribute in more ways to those countries and the 'average' ones are left behind in Nigeria. I feel bad for this though. You have to look at the visa interview process from the viewpoint of the visa officers themselves/the US to better understand the interview process. Don't view the process from one angle. By the way, don't get me wrong, never mention in your statements to the VO any intentions of staying behind in the US after study. You don't need to anyway, they already know. 5 Likes |

Yes. Full attention starting Monday.need to get rid of the Xmas beer belly,chicken/turkey stomach and sex. Get tired easily after little stress now.not used to reading for a while as it was just money making brain books aside but that's chNged now I don't want shortcuts. D success stories here gave me inspiration and gunning for it. Real life. Bro. I still find it funny when guys talk on this thread on how it's tough in USA and job hours and 8$ per hour and co and you can't work for some hours and all. Reason is I sent myself to 2 UNis in ng one private and one government.lived in UAE for a year and my rent was 800$ per month without utilities(water,electricity,etisalat wifi,du international calls)and shayo and clubbing and family stuffs. Pretty expensive than USA so unless you are doing the wrong things. USA is cheap bit I thank god because I am not from a rich family but a well brought up tout who believe in the power of my hands ad my destiny is in my hands.i live like king no matter the country cos life is short. Make the best use of it while breathing. . seangy4konji: sirRiddy: 2 Likes |
