dickoflife: I guess you mean 370. Did you buy a return ticket? I really don't know how that can be a requirement for a student, but na so we see am. It's actually a very straight forward process. You submit copies of your return tickets, visa and datapage of passport, and you apply in writing. Pere. But most banks seem not to have fx available except for some select branches of Ecobank (Bishop Aboyade, VI) and then ofcourse CMB, Stanbic, Citibank and probably StandChart. cc fizzle, it took 4 days. After I had spent months haggling with, and being pushed around by GTB, Sterling and Eco. |

House, has anyone had their RFID chip in their biometric passport fail on them? Does it render the passport useless? So many horror stories online. |

biikeys: In this case who is 2 blame d student or the VO . Why didd VO issue visa to a school only to be refused at POE . Students might not know d school is under-the-table school especially people not based abroad . A friend told me to stay away from school that dont need test scores as a guide. Schools like Stratford , Columbia State University sound like regular names of University and are on this blacklist . Can you advice on this ? |

BrosBola: I wouldn't use that on its own as a yardstick. There are top schools that looks at your experience,publications,qualifications and then waive test scores. Just FYI, people still get visas and study in some of those blacklisted schools. So blacklisting doesn't mean you will definitely be denied a visa or entry into the US...although the probability of either happening is probably close to 1 now with terrorism concerns amongst other issues. While accreditation is probably the most common way to spot such universities, some accredited schools get flagged for engaging in fraudulent activities.....and don't be fooled by the names 1 Like |

Kpimp: In an ideal world all these pre this and that is ok but we are not in ideal world ... all this is very hard to sell because why are you not going directly for what you want.... why a pre engineering? . Engineering is a direct first degree unlike medicine so why pre .... What was your SAT SCORE.... if money is a problem, why not focus or go for lesson and try to score high on SAT. There are loads of funding for good undergard students or get directly into an engineering program Alternatively focus on d school strength and on mathematics in an interview... Don't distract with pre this and that ...especially saying pre engineering. Loads of people enter engineering directly . For me it make you look lazy or unserious saying u need the visa to then prepare you for engineering. Instead sell mathematics and what it can do for u .....blc remember if u cant change then u end up with mathematics as loads of pre med end up with biology degree when med don't work out |

gunther6: Naija banks sabi post pesin. I'm not too sure about minimum amount and stuff o. I can help you ask my AO on Monday. I used to use them when I had spare cash to invest in Tbills. I don't think they operate like commercial banks giving atm cards and stuff. I think they are more into asset management like them ARM, Kakawa, FSDH and co. But I will confirm and get back to you on Monday. |

Kpimp: I see you're trying to use a different approach albeit this new one has a number of errors. First, you'll end up revealing too much and will consequently shoot yourself in the foot. If you've got plans of changing school/course of study, it's best you keep that to yourself. You being interviewed for SWMSU and you're talking about UT Austin. The followup question you envisaged is where the VO will rope you. While it might indeed save you some dough, whose gonna pay for the remaining three years? How will you sustain the supposed cost effectiveness since you've changed schools? I'll suggest you keep your story straight with respect to your school and course of study as you did in your first interview. Your generic response to the third question was probably what turned the VO off. You can say little (1-2 Unique points max.) and still sound convincing. Finally, I don't know how reputable the school is. |
