bigfrancis21:ok i'll be the first to admit that individual needs differ and the situation in houston is peculiar but my main issues were: 1. Some campuses are a 2-5 minute walk from where we would be taking lectures, that's a huge premium for someone who is a first timer in this country and doesn't have a car for now. Houston has a traffic problem as I discovered, and where i got a place, i would be riding a bus to and fro which is still fine with me till i get a car. 2. Your on campus housing monthly payment includes rent, furniture, utilities, cable television, and high speed internet. I took some advice I found on nairaland and tried to find off campus housing with a similar deal and could not. So I really hope to god that my bills (I don't need cable TV)would be reasonable, otherwise what extra savings I may think I'm pooling from staying off campus may be lost from transportation costs/bills. 3. In some dorms like calhoun lofts and Bayou oaks, u can rent out private/semi private apartments and are allowed to cook ur own meals. 4. The privacy concern is a matter of taste and personal needs, maybe if i were a younger/undergrad student i wouldn't have minded the opportunity to make friends that could last a lifetime, but i've already done that in my university days in Naija. bigfrancis21:Yep I noticed too, most Nigerians here are really doing well or at least better than african americans. Very encouraging i must admit. And we dey go school sha, almost every non african american I see on campus is a nigerian. 3 Likes |

LUCAS99:Ok. I will respond to you now. The Embassy only wants to see you in order to clarify, qualify and quantify your application. Please pardon my grammar. You also need to get a letter of extension from school with regard to extending your date of resumption for classes. All in all, I think you would be fine. Do not worry. |

LUCAS99:I don't understand, are you currently a student in USA and you in nig on holiday? you have a valid visa, you don't need to submit your visa through drop box, as long as you are still on status and you still have classes to take at your current school, the school will issue you an extension. 2 Likes |

@justwise, hello house. I know dis may not be the right place to bring up this question,but I can't find where to drop this question. Since there are so many nairalanders studying in the States and I am aspiring to study in the States, I guess I have to ask my question here. I have a GPA of 2.45 in engineering. I want to do a Masters in Engineering. Most of the Universities i want to study at (particularly some institution at carlifornia,b'cos i've got relations in carlifornia. The idea is to stay at their place and go to school) are requesting for an average GPA of 3.0. What do I do, how do I apply to do a PGD in these universities,has anybody had this kind of issue b4 and how did they overcome. This opportunity presenting is only for this schools within sacramento and east bay.Please, I need advice and help to go about this issue before the closing of the admission for spring reaches. Thank you. |

LUCAS99: F-1 Visa Application: Non-Immigrant Intent. Form I-130: Immigrant Intent. I honestly don't know how you can claim to have both intents at the same time under the law. This may amount to immigration fraud in the face of the law. I remember you from here and I remember your case. I know you are a genuine candidate and have good intentions. However, the USCIS is somehow vague on filing a pending I-130, applying for a visa, and travelling outside of the USA. One thing I know for sure is that you can't file a I-485 and travel outside of the country without an advanced parole. That would mean that you have abandoned your case. I know several people whose relatives have petitioned for them in the past and were able to obtain a visa and beat the POE officials. Their case is so different from yours because they didn't declare any where in their application that they have relatives or have a pending I-130 application. Some were lucky to get away with it while some didn't. I guess it boils down to the luck factor here. Honestly, I wish I could give you a solid and concrete answer but my hands are tied. I like to say what I know for sure and won't like to mislead you. But make use of everything that I have said here and please make sure to consult an experienced immigration lawyer. It looks to me like it is much more than what we think it is. Only a good lawyer maybe able to find any loop hole(s) and use that against the USCIS especially when certain sections of the law are ambiguous. All the best bro. 3 Likes |

slimmy05: www.nriol.net.......If this is not too late. Don't forget that age and deductible among other factors determine how much you pay per month. Choose the lowest deductible if you know you don't fall sick and if you can afford medical bill less than or equal to $2500 before your health insurance kicks in. Cheers! 1 Like |

slimmy05: In a simple statement, you might die and still be in debt because the fear of fat bill (may be more than your semester tuition) won't let you step in hospital whenever you're sick. So as to prevent untimely death and fat medical debt of international students, the U.S. government (DHS) mandates health insurance for ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. |

Femicrux: People should check into Dept of health in their states. They may have affordable vaccination scheme from various NGOs. In NY, for a student making less than $17,235/yr (range most students fall) all vaccination is $0, up to $22,980/yr is $3.57 and over $40.215/yr is $17.85 Vaccination like MMR, HepB, DTP, Varicella etc. 1 Like |

slimmy05: Street Urchin I guess you mean. slimmy05: It's good to see this posts here. I knew this canker worm was a crook and up to something when he started saying "opportuned" instead of opportune to me. Search online/google, it's only Nigerian Scammers that are so foolish enough to think that a word opportuned exists. In fact, "opportuned" is their trademark. I kicked him well until he started talking in loop and Justwise acted. So, new students in the U.S., please don't be victims of his phony activities and cheap help. He doesn't even know a bit about education or how to survive in the U.S. 3 Likes |

imperiouxx: Imperrioux, Remember she said a green card holder and not a US citizen. It definitely takes time if a green card holder will be filing because a visa number has to be available. If I were her, I would let the guy file even as a green card holder, and wait - No one knows tomorrow, the rules may change. Whichever that comes first between the guy becoming a citizen which automatically brings the filing to be current or your Visa number now available is still a WIN - WIN situation. An exception to this would be if the LPR filing is currently married or if his green card is based on marriage to a U.S citizen. Of course, he may want to become a citizen first, divorce, and then file for you. 2 Likes |

@ LUCAS99, Many have responded and like Ojap says, it will be best for you to consult an immigration lawyer (if you're in the U.S). Based on your family record, you're an intended immigrant. Since you can complete your studies without visa and you still maintain your pended I-130 application (if in the U.S.), why don't you forget leaving the country for a non-immigrant visa. And if you're already in Nigeria, you got no choice than defending your case in Nigeria. Also, it seems you don't qualify for an interview waiver for your F1 visa. |
