Good day folks

My name is Rashid from Ghana! I have something that i greatly need the advice and opinions of the big folks here

I applied to do a graduate programme this fall at Troy University in Alabama somewhere in February this year and just got my 1-20 today.

But then, i am supposed to be in School by August 16th. i am in a fix right now due to some few issues here and will greatly appreciate members advice.

1. My TOEFL scores expired in May,2015 but as the time of application in February it wasnt and im wondering if i can go ahead and apply and explain to the VO's there or i take a new test

2.Wrote GRE too this year and yet to receive the scores

I humbly need assistance going forward folks.Your prompt response will be highly appreciated

May God bless you all
1. You don't need to rewrite TOeFl or GRe. Just go ahead and schedule an emergency interview, since you are applying from Ghana, you might get a nearest date. You can go to the embassy with just your toefl result

2. Go online and print out your GRe result. Since u are already admitted ,you don't have to rewrite. The result are just to show your credibility to the VO

Send an email to your school to give you a 2 weeks extension for arrival or Defer your admission till spring

Dem no even search at all for dubai sef, dem no search our carry on with their hands, na just machine dem use Search, our plane had a delay for 30minutes on air so wahala no dey, no delay at all, na to just go straight to ur plane, but 2hours lay over thats not much o, cos before ur baggage gets to you ehn, from the baggage claim place it might take loooong... Just like mine did, people that came from nigeria dodnt get their baggages from the plane till 1hr later

Not all course of study require letter of recommendation but you will need Transcript evaluation..No waste your 10k..send your unofficial transcript to FSCA for evaluation and it will be sent to the school.

Baba thanks o. I asked you the questions specifically cos am also apply for Msc mining n I knew u got an admission at that sch. Actually this is the first time am hearing of FSCA, am sure they won't ask for recommendation but I just want to know if I can send my unofficial transcript for evaluation purposes.

Hello guys, I have missed a lot here. I just recovered from the jetlag. A few lines of travel transcript won't hurt an ant, I guess.

Flight was scheduled for 8:50pm, July 20,2015. I did arrive the airport 3hrs before departure time. First thing on arriving the airport was to weigh my luggage, unfortunately, all my bags weighed more than the stipulated Kg, one of them weighed 44kg instead of 23kg. I was in disarray and completely paranoid, scared of coughing out $175 for extra luggage. Fortunately, a young man came to my aid. Trust Naija, nothing goes for free but he helped reduced my burden, however, I had to resort to travelling with two different "Ghana must go" bag, like Osufia who travelled to Amelika. That bag eventually served as my hand luggage, when everybody was rolling theirs I was dragging mine, I couldn't help but buy a faze cap to cover my shame.

Now, at the immigration checkpoint, Slimmy05's aunt came to my rescue. Consequently, Nobody searched my bag and I didn't pay a dime of any sort. After checking in my bag, I headed straight to the airplane, there was no time to play with people who went to the airport with me. The airplane left 5 mins before departure time.

We had a stopover in Dubai with a 2hrs 30mins layover time. We left Dubai exactly 9:20am. From Lagos to Dubai was about 7hrs and Dubai to Chicago was double the time from Lagos to Dubai. I had fun with the Indian bloke -Grofder - a Student of Stevenson College in Chicago- who sat beside me. He made the 14hrs in air super interesting. #but that guy can eat for the whole of America#.
We landed Chicago Int'l airport at exactly 2:52pm. Unfortunately, we could not disembark from the aircraft because there was no parking slot for our aircraft, we arrived almost an hour earlier than our arrival time. We had to wait for more than 1hr30mins before we could come down from the airplane. Immediately after that, I headed straight to the toilet, because I never wanted what happened in July 21,1845 to repeat itself. I did the needful and headed for the biggest interview of the day. I was on the queue leading to POE for more than an hour. Eventually, it was my turn to answer some questions;
me: Good evening
CBP officer: How was ur trip
me: cool, thanks
CBP officer: your passport
me: here
CBPO: typing while holding his chin and squinting
CBPO: I can't see any information linked to this Sevis number and also why was this I20 sent since March?
Me: (in my mind, if na joke, oga stop am) Well, my admission was for Spring 2015, I deferred, and that's the updated I20.
CBPO: Oh! I see. What course is that?
Me: Mathematics
CBPO: Your fingers on that, your right first, now ur left. Ok, now look straight to the camara. Thank you.
CBPO: Where did u study in your undergraduate
Me : Nigeria
CBPO: you mean all your life you've been living in Nigeria?
Me : Yeah!
CBPO: impressive, welcome and enjoy your stay in the United state.
Me: Thank you, with a smile.
After leaving his post, I started bouncing like a real American, went straight to claim my luggage.
The rest story ain't for public consumption because I was frustrated and disappointed.

The real hustle is here if you care to know, however, whatever it is, the hustle is worth it.

Thanks to God Almighty. Thanks to my TripAdvisor,Slimmy05.
Nairaland is my virtual home and everyone in here is my real buddy. Let the progress begin! See you guys soon.

Thank God for safe landing.
God's favour in all your endeavours.
