Someone I know on the thread did this.
All he had to do was defer. I guess there is no biggie
as the visa issued is for two years. Congrats on getting
your visa.
But I think the SEVIS number will change, since he will get a new i-20 due to deferring till the following term. Except it is not an ish at POE.. #justsayin.. Cos I really don't know much

MrMann1:
During application for admission, my academic transcripts was evaluated by SDR, their report said I was not eligible for grad school, cos I was HND holder... The admission officer said I will need to complete a year at the undergrad sch. So they had to move my details to the undergrad school. My i-20 says Post Bac. My question now is when I'm being asked at the embassy, will I still say I am going for Msc?? Please help my ministry.

No you can't.

Focus on what it is written on your I-20 only and good luck to you.

you can use SGK shipping in houston. I think it's $3.95 per pound and it gets to Lagos in 3 days and they can pick it up at yaba.

thanks for this info. I've been looking for how to get some stuffs shipped to Nigeria. Nipost ripped me off after spending $73 on 2lbs package and still paid 22k for collection.
That was expensive.

Good day gurus in the house,
Please which is more effective and hitch-free in registering for toefl; Using a gtbank naira mastercard or using a Pay Pal acct linked with the gtb mastercard. Info on the naira charge per dollar will also be highly appreciated.
Thanks

His mastercard can be linked to a paypal account and he can pay using that. Several other people like me who do not have a visacard used our PayPal accounts and it worked perfectly without any extra charge.

That was expensive.
He called me that he needed a phone, money and some stuffs for his daughter to celebrate the "Ileya" festival. I've not sent stuffs before aside money, so I had no option that to send it with usps priority so that he can get it on time. Well, I did cash in mail too anyways. I do that all the time, God punish western union.

After my experience banking with UBA, I resorted to local banking. My parents and brothers simply post my money to me grin, then with the high rate of crime in Aluu, uniport, I usually put the money inside my food stuffs. grin. This I did for 4 years, before GTbank lured me with their home service.

Hello everyone,

Please, I have a couple of questions and I would appreciate feedback:

1. How easy is it enrolling for 12 credit hours or more per semester?
2. Is there anyone here attending Frostburg State University, Maryland?

Thank you in advance.

This is your case, just work on other home ties you can pull. Tell them the relevance of your program when you return to Nigeria. Emphasize on returning to Nigeria to take up a job, make the sector juicy and open.

WES was super fast for me. From the day they got verification from my uni that the documents are genuine, it took like 10days for the schools to get the evaluated transcripts.

WES is very efficient bro. They put an estimated time on your profile. Once your transcript has been verified by your UG school, WES does the job in an estimated 10 days. The report sent gets to your school in another 1 or 2 days. The major problem lies in how soon your UG school verifies/responds to the email WES sends to them.

Profojah, I sight you bro.

Great info. Well I got my Bsc from a different school where I got my PGD certificate. Will WES be able to reconcile both degrees irrespective of when both schools forward my transcript to WES since both transcripts won't arrive same time. How can dat be sorted out?
