Professor554:Boss, take every advice you get from the big bosses here. One of them asked you to get admission with a four year university, use their I-20 to get your visa but when you get to obamaland, you can transfer to a community colleg, as simple as that. Your chances of getting a visa with a community college i-20 is very very slim.. Na my 2 cent be that.. |

Hi, please I'm applying for my transcript evaluation at ECE, I want to request for 2 extra sealed copies which will be mailed to my address as Im still researching about the CC that I will enrol at. My question is, will the schools still recognise the transcript as official if I mail them by myself when its still sealed with ECE seal when I want to apply? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by anikemoses(m): 5:52pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Anyiogwu:Once u are in custody of the evaluated transcript,it's no longer deemed "official"...U can always request for a personal copy during your evaluation payment which will be sent to your home address.Once evaluated,u will have to pay about $25 to send an official copy to any Institution...However,for some schools,even after receiving your Evaluated ECE transcript,they still request u send another official transcript from your undergraduate school,speaking about my personal experience with NCAT and Troy univ....My advice is,simply scan a personal copy sent to u and send via e-mail to any school of yours for admission purposes and after you are admitted,you can order an official copy to the school..I hope this helps. |

Holudarey01:Going by the email,you are already granted a GA,NCAT is a very generous institution with funding during Fall semester. To answer your questions: First accept the offer,check your online application portal to accept or you email the designated Prof.You must be enrolled as a Full time student every semester,I don't know how else to explain this,your minimum course credit each semester should be 9,meaning in Naija context that u must register 3 different 3 unit courses every semester.but some schools only allow GA students to register 6units while any additional course units will be paid by the student.2. you GPA per semester must not fall short of 3.0 out of 4.0 to maintain ur GA position.3.As an International student,u can't work more than 20hrs weekly on Campus.4.You can't work outside the school's Campus or exceed the 20hrs weekly schedule.5.There is always research seminars and other programs which u will be given a prior notice and it's a "Must attend". 6.All these factors will be considered in the next Academic year to evaluate your performance in order to retain u or hire someone else,In this case,the GPA is one of the major factor,some schools also consider what we term "employment appraisal" from your colleagues and immediate boss before considering to retain u...cheers |

Hello All, please is TOEFL mandatory at the embassy and does it mean that anyone without TOEFL, sat, GRE or GMAT won't be attended to and would it result in a visa denial? Thanks in anticipation of your response. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Walspring: 6:35pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Anyiogwu: Is it university or high school transcript Well if it's high school transcript they will accept waec result card but university own must be official Just check their website and click on Nigeria and you will get more info about which and how the transcript should be mail to them 1 Like |

drealsheggs: It's part of your supporting documents and if applicant don't have (s)he will be attended to and sometimes having one of these test help and not having it leads to denial by some VO Infact it's compulsory as far am concern for those who want success at times and it's not compulsory for those who want to take risk.. Don't forget it's my own opinion |

Fortissimo:partial tuition waiver. can u expansiate? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:06pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Holudarey01: You've said it already. They've given you a 6k "discount" off your yearly tuition. I'm guessing full tuition should be about 30k. So you have to cough out 24k. They've also made a contribution of 11k to your yearly cost of living. Your yearly cost of living should be about 18k. So you'll have to cough out additional 7k for living expenses. I just gave you estimates. You'll have to check your school's "estimated costs of attendance" to confirm how much extra funds you'll need to have to get your I-20 issued. |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:36pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Holudarey01: Haha ok. I'm sure you should get your decisions soon. Me na I-20 I dey wait for. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:36pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Holudarey01, If you keep reading the mail you might get yourself confused on the actual amount awarded or the money you'll need to pay in addition to your financial grant. What you need to understand is that there are hidden fees that some grants do not cover and it includes: Program fees, Insurance, Online fees (if you're taking online class) and maintenance fees. The only way you can get the right amount you'll be remitting from your pocket is to call the bursar. Better still email your graduate coordinator. Do you have an idea how much your school charge per graduate credit? It looks more like Half Graduate Assistanship. But if it's a full graduate assistanship, expect to pay nothing more than $1200 to $2000 per semester. 1 Like 1 Share |

Fortissimo:The living expenses is just an estimate. I don't think he would spend more than 7k for living expenses (Rent and Bills) for one year. His semester fees if he is taking 9 credit hours shouldn't be more than 7k per semester. I am sure if its a Full GA, he won't even pay more than 2000 per semester. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:49pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Fortissimo: bro what if my assistantship covers all my estimated cost. do I av to provide financial statement befr I get my I-20? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:51pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
slimmy2005: Yes true. But for I-20 purposes you'll need to show much more. For mississippi state university, it's over 17k for living expenses. Meanwhile mississippi is arguably the state with the lowest cost of living. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:51pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
slimmy2005:Thanks bro. I ve done that. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:53pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Holudarey01: Nope. As long as the GA offer covers it all. But as slimmy said, there may be some small small fees you may still have to pay. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:54pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Fortissimo:the school is in North Carolina |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:55pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Fortissimo:It's actually required for him to provide financial statement that would reflect the total estimate for the first year fee |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:57pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Holudarey01:You'll still need financial statement that would show you have the money to pay for the first year estimate. Funding or no Funding. Even at the embassy too |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:57pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Fortissimo:now I understand.. Thanks guys you're the best |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:57pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
slimmy2005: Even where his GA covers all the costs? My school doesn't require that sha. Plus the VOs have repeatedly said they aren't really interested in financial statements. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 7:59pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
Holudarey01: Slimmmy says I'm wrong. So check with him. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by landuseact: 8:07pm On Mar 22, 2016 |
I don't think the GA can cover all the costs anyway. There is always some thing extra that you will pay, but it may be little. You should still be prepared to present financial statements. |
