OjaP:


Where do you plan to stay when school is not in session?

Good point. Forgot that.

Please I want to ask, for the visa interview do I have to take original GRE & TOEFL scores from ETS and original transcripts from my school to the interview?

What I have is a scanned copy of my scores & transcript evaluated by WES which I was thinking I would print out & take to the interview.

Please oh where are the bosses, y'all should help me out

Hello, can anyone help with info on how to reschedule for an earlier date? Is there a way I can do it without making another payment? Tnx

Dude go with what you have. It's not a biggie. Original is preferred, but you don't have, so what do you want to do? They will likely not ask you for it anyway.

Good evening Famz,

I Av been Patiently following this threat from PART1 to 8,

It took me time and I ensure I read all and followed the procedures judiciously.

I have been admited to the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. But I wonder why I haven't been hearing about Nebraska from NLders.

My interview is scheduled for Next week Insha Allah. But am yet to pay my SEVIS.

I got someone to help me out but it seems he isn't a straight fellow.

Please I need anyone who can help me with this SEVIS fee payment and I will reimburse such person either to a Naira account or any other media.

This help will be much appreciated.

Thanks My NL fams.

Hi guys,

Been Following this thread quietly for a while. I got my F1 on Monday thanks to information here.
Visa process (lagos) was pretty easy, no documents asked.spent like less than a minute or so, I was graced but had travel history with a running B1/B2 visa already.

My school of admission is the University of Alabama at Birmingham
Grad Course of study; health care organisation and policy (mph)
Program date on my I20; May 5 2016( orientation day) for summer
Funding; non-yet

I have some few* questions, I beg to be answered;
1. when am i to enter in the u.S before the may 5 written on my I20 or after may 5.
2. If I must enter before may 5 ( which I'm not ready yet for) how can I push it further, do I request for a new I20 to present at the border or what do I do?
3. As regards funding, I can really honestly probably only afford my 1st semester fees at the UAB, and I'm not on any form of GA/RA, scholarship etc. I wanted to get my visa first before a concrete pursuit.How do I go about my search for funding/GA opportunities. How do I survive the 1st semester n beyond?
4. How is money been transferred currently here from Nigeria and at what exchange rate ( black market or normal) cos cant be carrying tuition in hand bag abi?
5. Any NL'der in Birmingham, Alabama that can help me integrate into the society and put a friend through as regards accommodation, and life in Gen. Pls DM me or sumfin.

P/S; Excuse my naievity at this stage when I'm supposed to be packing my bags, but i believe it's better I humble my self now and ask the world questions "before he clear for my eyes for Yankee"

Answers may not be restricted to my questions... Abeg I just need lots of help and clarifications and yabs tootoo ..

DrOdu congrats. Please share your transcript. Were you interviewed around 11:30? The cubicle closest to the exit?

Lol, thanks...it was a lotta nairaland training and practice and partly Medschool" ish..

TRANSCRIPT

So I was on window no2 , closest to the exit.
Lagos embassy
F1 visa accepted

I saw about 2 people denied in window 2 , in front of me, V.O wasn't smiling and I think she was pissed at the last person before me cos she asked him;
When did he finish high school he said 2000 and she asked what he's been doing since then but he didn't vocalise so she just gave him the blue tingy.

I was like (in my mind) mehn I don't want this woman oo, they should carry me somewhere else...but the guy that directs said I should step forward..lol

So I stepped forward and d guy that was denied was still stunned standing there so I had to tell him sir pls excuse. The V.O had already started even telling me to pass my docs.( she was kinda looking unfriendly) well this is how the convo went.

Me; Good morning (looks into her eyes)
V.O; Good morning ( looks away trying to scan my passport tingy,tried like 3 times, looking now frustrated)

V.O; (after successfully scanning ask) have you been to the U.S before?
Me; ( according to nairlanders if them ask u one quest anticipate further questions, direct the V.O and answer)
So I said, yes once and I spent 28days which I came back to Nigeria to continue my work

V .O; what did you go for?
Me; Church convention

V.O; what do you plan to study
Me; Masters in public health department of health care organisation and policy

V.O; where?
Me.; the University of Alabama at Birmingham,

V.O; How long? (Asking fast,typing fast and I was answering fast so she was probably happy I wasn't wasting her time)
Me; 2years after which I plan to come back to Nigeria and continue my Non profit, health organisation as the co-founderr ( I had docs and pics to back it up but she didn't ask)

V.O; who is sponsoring you?
Me; my dad ( at this point I anticipated her next question so I said ) he's the Director General of x"x"x an organisation that bla bla bla for other organisations and create blah frame work for blah ( note I didn't abbreviate so she doesnt assume,I learnt not to abbreviate so she doesn't ask me to come again, even MSc I said in full)

V.O; how many schools did you apply to?
Me; I applied to four schools, uni Texas a n m, uni of kentucky,SUNY uni buffalo (anticipated her next ? so cont. n said) I chose this school cos it's the only one offering health care organisation n policy. (She nods and types pweeety fast)

V.O; are you married?
Me; No *scuffs*

V.O; what do you do?
Me; I'm a med.doc' and the founder of a non profit health organisation blah blah blah...

V.O; already hurriedly picking up the white paper encircling stuff and telling me to pick up bla bla...
Me; thank you and left...
Time; about a minute,no docs checked" didnt ask y i chose course nothing, not even how much do you have in your statement.

Points from my experience;
1. grace
2. Travel history ( went for a short period and came back with legit reasons) *not a guarantee though*
3. I dressed well ( I was amazed at what people wore to the interview for F1, these guys don't even spend more than a minute so appearance is first then speech,way before docs) I wore my best suit sha n a expensive watch I placed in front of her make she no go dey think say this one dey suffer for here..*def. Not a guarantee too*
4. I psyched myself to be proud and act proud cos that's how I killed fear..(I saw a girl eyes red before going to her window,she showed fear already, i was confident maybe cos it was not my first time sha)
5. Speak fast and fluently (over heard a convo while on the queue where the oyinbo woman had to stop typing look into the mans eyes and practically repeat herself 3times..they r stressed already by our overwhelming number. don't stress them further)

I know peeps may think my mouth is running now cos i got it, but nooo...far from it. My mouth is running cos i discovered that asides luck, science plays a role in their choices whether to issue or not to issue a visa and some NL's have mastered the science of acing the embassy interviews...and im emphasising that success is when preparation meets grace,....thanks guys
Above all things Grace is the guarantee...
God bless and pls I need someone in university of Alabama at Birmingham or who lives in Alabama to put a brother through oo also someone that can put me through on how to land a GA/student job etc cos I no get bar pass 1st sem..lol..PM me pls..

HOUSE AND FELLOW TEAM... I SALUTE
Please, there is an issue which 3 different current studying student have been giving different opinions about.
THE ISSUE: visa granted since dec 2015 for MSC, but she could not go till now hoping to defer till spring 2017 (january)
QUESTION: Does she need to go back to VO for another visa upon the 2years validity of previous visa? Can she proceed to her school with an updated I20 with POE issue.
Thanks

Hi guys,

I got this $5,000 housing scholarship towards an on-campus apartment. It brings down my rent from $11k to $6k for the year.

Shoould I accept it? Is it better than staying off campus? Meanwhile, the campus is in Baltimore. Do you guys think it's a good deal compared to an off campus housing rent in Baltimore?

Thank you.

You'll certainly get something cheaper in Baltimore...if you can do your research. Use rent.com,apartmentsearch.com and you get some bonus money if you mention you found them through these sites. If you don't have a car, you'll need to consider distance to your school.

Fortissimo:


Thanks will do that now.

how far.
