Very insightful! @ the bolded was highlighted during the educationusa predparture. DUI can lead to revoke of visa and possibly a ban. Not gonna be a great story to tell slimmy2005: Less than a week in US. Brother you dey give yourself headache. Sales tax is a norm here. 90% of the states have sales tax. So there is nothing like if you live in a state with sales tax. Even if you buy water, you'll be taxed. As an F-1 working, you won't pay much tax, they only deduct like 7-9 dollars every pay stub for federal tax.
Hardly you'll see Nigerians here spend like this. Naira to dollars would still be ringing constantly in their head, it would take a while to erase such. Stay away from alcohol, please don't ever drink and drive(3% alcohol or so in your system might lead to revocation of your visa as an F-1) if you're pulled over by a cop. DUI is a bad record, keep your record clean, and stay safe. If you're taking alcohol this summer, what then would you take during winter? Ethanol? |

vo:how many schools me:3 then i name them(university of central oklahoma,cleveland state university and of course southwest minnesota state university that am going to)
vo:why did you choose this sch me:: i was fascinated by the ongoing research in the mathematic department more than the others , since that is the area i will specialize in, i got interested and applied.I saw papers regarding Applied Mathematics that covers a wide range of topics in mathematical physics and mathematical modelling. I also seen research on Pure Mathematics involving geometric, analytic and algebraic methods in group theory……. Since I am undergrad some of the Content are advance but its good to know these research are done in the school which will be useful to me when I get there

vo:what are you doing now me:i work at engineering firm where i service air condition,generator and refridgerator
Vo:so have you tried to apply to a university in nigeria me: was not sure if i said yes or no but i remember saying there is too much strike in nigeria school and the school curriculum is not good that they focus on theory unlike us schools that has a good curriculum and international degree from us would give me edge over other when i apply for jobs in nigeria(was not expecting this question so my reply was not smooth i lost balance for here).

In my own opinion, I thought to myself which school doesn't offer research programmes. I was at the EducationUSA briefing last week and the VO spoke again giving rehearsed speeches and generic answers such as student to teacher ratio blah blah. So I had to research about what was special about my school and thankfully I found a genuine selling point about my school. I'm not writing off research but if one is to talk about research, should it be quite specific?

tomisinobbm: Visa approved 7.30 am today. Don't tell its not God because it was him And yeah I talk too much. So I'd add some extra because they are required. I got to the waiting room. The guy at window 5(Mr Eric) was giving out blue papers like food. I sha prayed I wont go there but I got there But I knew this guy from the educationusa briefing I attended two weeks ago. He clearly stated what he hated to hear. So I was ready for him since I knew them. Here's the transcript VO; Good morning Me; good morning. VO; Please pass your i20 sevis and passport Me; (does that) VO; what's your study plan? Me; I plan to study computer science at Cameron uni for 48 months. VO; What is computer science? Me; (wasn't ready for this, I sha gave him a run down if my curriculum) computer science involves programming languages, implementation, design, algorithm,theories of computer science, etc.. Vo; when did you pay your sevis? Me; about 3 weeks ago. Vo; its not reflecting here. ( he types and types and confirms it was paid) vo; how did you pick your school? Me; after attending educationusa sessions and my tutorial centre that prepared me for sat, I was advised to make use of college's board big future portal. Which help me narrow down my search. VO; (cuts in) narrow it down to what? Me; the excellent curriculum they offered, funding available and affordability (I knew he was going to like this as he mentioned during the education usa session that he wished he had attended community college that he'd have been done with his student loans) Vo; what are the requirements for graduation? Me; you need a 2.5 gpa ( wasn't expecting this) Vo; what courses will you be taking in your first semester? Me; computer science 101, maths 101, English 101, calculus 101 and physics 101 VO; who would be sponsoring your education? Me; my mom who is a successful automobile dealer. Also proceeds from my late father's estate would be used. I was also awarded a tuition waiver due to my SAT score. vo; what was your test score. Me; I had 1760. vO; Great work! ( I knew the deal was done when he said this) VO; I would be approving your visa. Pick it up at blah blah blah. Me I just snatched my white paper and went.
Didn't check any documents. Well, I was nervous at some points. But I could reduce he asked his questions in such a way that you couldn't give a rehearsed speech. But if you have ideas. Then fine. I staggered in some responses.
Thanks to those who helped me from day 1 on here. Thanks walspring for the mock interview Texrem for the mock interview and the drilling And lastly bright (I don't know his moniker) for the mock interview and drilling) And everyone on here, thank you.
Congrats.... Let's give the thanks to God and enjoy your stay in Obamaland |

wowchild22: Having read some transcripts on this forum, i compelled myself to share mine too.
All glory to the almighty, My visa was issued this morning in lagos. I was already praying to be interviewed by a female but as I entered the interview hall, I realised that the GIRLS were not smiling but there was a guy at counter 4 who was sharing visas especially to families and he was cheerful too, luckily I was intervied by him.
Me: good morning sir vo: no response vo: pass me your passport and i-20 me: i did vo: how long is your program of study me: 30 months, which is 2 & half years vo: types forever vo: what & where are going to study me: i will be studying culinary arts at the associates degree at prince george's community college vo: long silence, keeps typing vo: so why didnt you choose a culinary arts school instead of just a college me: (i wasnt expecting it but i was somehow prepared) I initially planned to study at le cordon bleu in chicago, but the franchise which is originally from france shut down all their operations in the us last december. vo: didnt your school tell you that you would need to write an exam before you can start the course me: (i was like alaiye, lemme school you) No, i am not required to write any exam except for the english placement test which i will be writting at the school and introduction to culinary arts which are major prerequisites. vo: i'm sorry the system is a bit slow this morning me: (i form smile) vo: and this certificate would help you when you return me: yes, very well sir (that definitely wasnt a question) vo: blah blah blah Isolo (the only thing i heard was ISOLO, and he passed me the white paper and my i-20. that going deaf thing is true lol)
Although i wasnt as confident as i think i should but i maintained eye contact even when he wasnt looking.
In all, I was asked only (5) five questions and i answered them to the best of my knowledge, however i did my research and i prepared. in fact i did 21 days fasting & prayer, and i will testify in church because it could only have been God's doing.
I have almost all my siblings in the us, so i was bothered about them seeing me as a potential immigrant, but God did it for me without sweat.
Anyone going to maryland or prince George's county by month end can dm.

fizzile: Fregkay, u have a good opportunity to get your visa. Many have testified here and so far we have not witnessed denials. Forget the number of times u have been denied, u can get it. Just go through a couple of interviews and not the key points. You should probably be asked what you are going for, the schools u applied, why u chose the school, why the course, if possible u myt be asked your course modules or your research area, what you will do after studies. just go tru some transcripts
Thanks bro

fizzile: cc: Walspring, I got dis from abokifxdotcom Nigerians will, from today, struggle harder for foreign exchange as banks are also looking for it, especially the United States dollar, to scale up their loan provisions. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) gave August 5, 2016, as the deadline for all Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) to increase their provisioning for foreign currency-denominated loans and related exposures. Analysts say it will now be more difficult for Nigerians to secure foreign exchange as banks struggle to keep as much dollars as they can in their coffers. August 5th is almost here. I am waiting to see CBN new policy on that.. |

They will send you return label when it about time to return the book. Then you mail back with UPS free of charge. If you don't want to spend and have time to search, you can search on _torrent websites. Most of the time, you will hardly find recent edition of books for free online.
