Ok good. KSU is good but try to get another school in Texas. Check if you can procure admission at the University of North Texas. Or better still a school in Houston, Texas. Can't recall the name of the school right now.

If the school policy is to mail the i-20 via regular mail.you can arrange the pickup on your own with any courier,for your information if you're using USPS be specific on priority express mail international it takes 3-5 days to arrive.
Orelse USPS regular mail also takes 1month.especially a vital doc. Like this may takes 3months because I have had the same experience of this when I asked the sch. To mail it out with dere shipment policy which is USPS regular mail the school have resumed for 1 month before I got it.
You can ask ur sch to scan a copy of your i-20 to further for ur SEVIS fee payment and schedule ur appointment but you have to make sure ur calculation is intact with d time u'll get ur i-20
Alright bro. Tnks alot, I appreciate.

Okay thanks.

Please i have another question. Do I need to take the prerequisite courses since I already have a degree in human anatomy? and if I do, where and how do I take them? I'm a bit confused.

Send your transcript and apply as a transfer student so that some courses can be waved.

Your academic advisor can answer this question clearly for you.

You're welcome!

Certainly you would have to take some prerequisite courses when you get to America and don't get confused. You'll surely smile later if only you're focused and motivated.

Good day guys....currently have two I-20
1- temple university Pennsylvania (neuroscience)

2- university of south Florida (nursing)
SAT-1620
TOEFL-96
NOV/dec waec ECE evaluation-3.0

I did not get any funding and I'm confused why

Also are the two both good schools and which do you think has a higher probability of securing me the visa based on the school and course.
And also when would be the best time to start the visa processing stuff
Also have admission from UB....but that aside tho.
Really appreciate the reply in advance


Undergraduate funding is very rare
As a matter of fact, best not to count on it

Just paid for my TOEFL test using the paypal option
and it was really easy.
hello bro! Pls what platform did u use to pay for the test and what's the total cost including the bank charges? Thanks
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by Nobody: 10:54pm On Mar 12, 2015
I used paypal and my gtb mastercard to pay. I have my gtb activated for online banking.
37200 was deducted instead of 36000naira/180dollars that I calculated. Wonder the reason for the extra charges.

It's due to devaluation of our Naira and rise in dollar.

Our Cbn/Banks are thieves because exchange rate used to receive dollars from usa via western union 195, i need para for GTconnect yesterday but if you making payment we will be charged 205 or 210 or more..

Lol! cheesy

That's economic transformation they're talking about. cheesy

I will still say it here that neither Jonathan nor Buhari can take Nigeria to the Promised Land.

African leaders are so wicked and self-centered. The funniest thing is those guys have been overseas several times and cannot develop their continent. It's a shame!!

You can ask the school with you didnt get funding... Maybe you didnt meet their funding requirements.. You can apply for interview as from 3 months to your resumption date.

Concerning the date of scheduling for interview, the last time I checked, it was 120 days ( 4 months ) to the resumption date. Was it changed recently to 3 months? Pls house bros wants to make sure no mistakes.

When you're receiving western union, the exchange rate is not set by banks, its general. Now, when you send money to Nigeria, you will get western union exchange rate and they would tell you how much the person is receiving in Nigeria.

Its still 120 days, but I see no reason for the hurry to the embassy, why not wait for atleast 90 days, then just incase one gets denied, one can easily schedule for another interview.

How are we bad as regards the exchange rate? The drop in oil price is the reason why naira was devalued. I guess we didn't plan for the unforeseen occurrence. We need to develop other sector of the economy so we can increase our GDP.

LOL! That's not the reason. The main reason is corruption. Have you witnessed how these guys share our money?

That is why the US government always tag them as corrupt Nigerian officials. cheesy

The air you breath in America is it the same as when you were in Nigeria? Obviously not. Lets just be honest here.

country like China for instance is no longer a third world country and that is they get visas so easily, even work visas from their home. If 1,000 Chinese apply for visa, about 995 usually get approved and not quite long ago, they discussed about 10 years visa with the US government cheesy

I can't get a clue of what you just typed there. Our youths are getting a lot wrong including you. This is not politics section, I just got to refute the usual Nigerian way of generalizing. Sorry, where did you get that stats from? this is why I usually do ignore your post on here.

Lets move on and who the hell told you they don't also get refused visa. Its just a different ball game cos they got alot to offer the US considering the debt US owes China. I don't like typing much about politics, so I would prefer we talk about ladies or visa issues.

Today was really very funny, I met this girl who happens to be a Nigerian, we got talking and exchanged numbers. She called me up the next day and we talked at length, called her yesterday and she said she was making her hair, called her today and she is still making her hair shocked I was like, this chic got some cash. Got to her apt only to find out she was actually doing that all by herself. cry When she got through, had to take her to my place for lunch, can't imagine the stress of cooking.
