Schwartz: It not so straightforward. ...... However to answer your question the student on F1 visa can work but it must only be oncampus and not more than 20 hours a week . (Except if you are even exception due to economic hardship then you can work offcampus and up to 40 hours ) but this not the norm and given only after one year for master student The spouse can travel and there is a visa for it F2 but spouse will not be allowed to school or work on that visa. If school or 20 hours oncampus work is needed then the spouse need to switch to F1 visa |

seek4yemi1: Yes you can travel with 1k usd and do a transfer later or pay your fees by flywire ..... you are not expected to declare the cash on you except if its over 10k usd . ..if u travel with 10k and above make sure you declare it or u run the risk of it been seized ... so to answer you question above, its fine to go with 1k and make a transfer later. That is safer than travelling with too much cash |

ngobaby2264: If u have a BSC there is a route for accelerated nursing but it has some strict requirements in terms of courses u should have taken before and level of gpa If u can't meet that then u can apply for nursing using both your waec and bsc. Since you are starting from bsc again then the requirements is not as strict and they will evaluate based on that and give u admission or not ...... the only thing is u will put in extra effort to convince a VO why u want anothee Bsc . Its might be hard but it is doable as some have gotten visa so prepare well to articulate why u want to do nursing |

LagosismyHome:Thank you so much for your reply. They both schooled in the UK but had to return. And they haven't been able to find something to do in Nigeria. From your post I think its best they both come on the F1 student visa. So if they both get to the US to study another Masters, does that imply that they will only be allowed to work on campus throughout the Masters program? Will this take care of the bills, rents etc? Is it feasible to get a campus job? Is there a time during study when they will be allowed to work offcampus? At the end of schooling, does the system allow them to stay back and apply for jobs? Their situation brings tears to my eyes. Imagine spending thousands of pounds to study for years in the UK and then forced to leave the UK |

abduldope: 3rd class has high and low so ur starting point is to find out what exactly is your gpa in america standard . (Use wes online calculator )... that will then let you know where u stand ....after that u probably need a high GRE score to help convince a school to give u admission that you are will be ok student as most schools don't accept maybe after 2.7 gpa . For schools that might take u . u have to put in a lot of effort to find those schools.. msc in bus admin should be mba . |

Schwartz:if they both get to the US to study another Masters: why another masters . What of phd instead..... so many phd comes with funding, why two masters ?. what field are they in does that imply that they will only be allowed to work on campus throughout the Masters program? ...yes this the norm . In the uk u can work offcampus but still 20 hours but the US it mainly oncampus Will this take care of the bills, rents etc? .... bills rent yes but bills and tuition no . That would be hard .. Best for them to look for GA Is it feasible to get a campus job?..... they have to research well for schools that have good on campus job Is there a time during study when they will be allowed to work offcampus?.... only after 1 year and if exceptional hardship is approved At the end of schooling, does the system allow them to stay back and apply for jobs?.... well stem courses give you longer time than no stem . Then they can go on to have h1b work visa and then greencard so all depend on their line of occupation Their situation brings tears to my eyes. Imagine spending thousands of pounds to study for years in the UK and then forced to leave the UK :. ...... this happens in the USA as well , na to pray that God will bless someone hustle and research well .... maybe they look at Canada as well .......... , they have a more surer path to stay than most countries (at least for now ) |

LagosismyHome:Thanks a lot. My gp is low. Can I use my waec maybe write SAT in order to process my admission? Maybe go in as some one that never has a bsc. |

ngobaby2264: a degree in microbiology might give u an edge ..... for using waec and sat i guess you can but whether that d best i cannot say on the issue of using the bsc or not to use it ..... . If u write Sat make sure u study very well for it to ensure u have a good/ high score U have an ok age for bsc and a related degree which will be a good thing at interview ...since you are doing business find a hospital where u can be doing some voluntary nurse thing to learn which will help later on |

worry359: Please stay away from that message and mind your business. It wasn't directed to you. These questions are basic questions she will have to deal with, before heading to the embassy for her interview. I have helped a lot of people on and off this thread. So, when I ask questions, I know exactly why I do so and I also want to determine how the applicant will succeed. 9 Likes |

Hello Pals I'm back again with my question, can any body assist me with a link on how to calculate the last 2yrs of my undergraduate study using the WES Calculator? Need that to know if my CGPA falls within 3.2 needed as minimum in my intended US school. Thanks in anticipation of your response. |

OluDare01: Use the library. You can checkout books for the whole semester. If you can't get the books in your school library, ask about interlibrary loans from other schools. Have a great Fall. 2 Likes |

LagosismyHome: That's the job of the lawyer, all he needs tell them is what he wants. By the way Mustghan..you can always ask on avvo.com. You can get some free legal consultation some 15 minutes or so. Hiring an immigration attorney is expensive and might not be worth it, depending on your case. Those guys are out there to take all your money. Don't hire one unless it is absolutely necessary. I'm sure you know there are no guarantees too. 1 Like |

Schwartz: They are allowed to work 20hr/week on campus but an on campus job can't solve any of their problems most especially if they are schooling in a city. Schwartz: Yes, if there are open positions but it can take up to 1-3 months to get one. Well, with connection with other international students in the school, getting a job on campus might be possible within 1.5 month. Schwartz: You work off campus without an appropriate EAD from uscis, you're done. Only 20hr/week ON CAMPUS ONLY. Schwartz: Yes, if they can find a job that can file a work visa for them after their 1 year optional practical training year but if not, 90 days after graduation/opt you are expected to leave US or enroll for another course. The F1 or student visa is called NON -IMMIGRANT visa i.e you finish, you go. Schwartz: This is why UK is not a wise choice for international students, most especially Nigerians. However, try weigh where/when to cry well, US too could be frustrating, especially for couple students who don't have much options after graduation. Best! 1 Like 1 Share |
