Hi house,
VISA APPROVED: I want to use the opportunity to thank the Nairaland USA visa travel family for their contributions on this site. I benefited immensely from your constructive arguments and impactful contribution. I have been a silent member of travel section 2013. I had my US F-1 visa interview today 7:30am in Abuja. Here is my transcript …
V.O: You are going to St. Cloud State Uni. How did get to know about this school?
Me: I got to know about SCSU from a friend who is an Alumni of SCSU and has returned to Nigeria. Also, out of all the schools I visited in the US during my vacation, SCSU stood out because of its great potentials and opportunity for research to equip students with requisite skills for career growth.
V.O.: Did you applied to other schools?
Me: Yes…..UNT, NC A&T Uni, MUN Canada & McGill Uni Canada
V.O Did you take GRE?
Me: Yes
V.O. How you going fund your education?
Me: My uncle will be sponsoring me.
V.O. What does he do?
Me: He is a real estate consultant and he also into oil & gas. He owns three gas stations in Nigeria.
Me: Your visa is approved. Here is your pick up letter and Form I-20…etc (I did not get hear the remaining words)
My great regards & thanks to Our Lord Jesus Christ and honour to Our Lady of Seven Sorrows (The Blessed Virgin Mary). I prayed for a miracle and God answered without hesitation. Please, don’t forget to pray and consistently be a state grace. I am a living witness. Finding God was the most practical thing I have ever done. My regards goes to every member of the house most especially those I had contact with via mail. Bigfrancis & imperiouxx, Amefrica, etc…Thanks. Pls, pardon my errors
. such a nice interview. congrats |

Additional tips to aid choosing/applying to universities:
1. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT apply to universities in a hurry with a mediocre GRE. There's absolutely no hurry, and you could postpone the intake by a semester or an entire year, if need be. Getting into a mediocre university with a mediocre GRE is a lose-lose situation; does no good to anybody in the end of the day.
2. It's true that ranks don't matter, but don't use that as an excuse to settle for whatever university you get. This is another grievous mistake that candidates commit. Better the university you get into, better are your chances of working in better equipped labs and tutored by brilliant professors.
3. A university that's highly renowned for one department might be downright mediocre for another. For example, University of Arizona's Eller College of Management is the fourth best school in the U.S. for MIS, while not that good for other courses. Keep that in mind while probing the department's strength/weakness.
4. Although it's technically possible to transfer to another university after the first semester, it comes with its own bundle of hassles. For once, the credits you've earned in the present university might or might not be fully transferred to the prospective university. Furthermore, it's cumbersome to get acclimated to a new university and start fresh in the middle of the academic year. Attempt to transfer if and only if you feel you can not at all survive in the university.
5. Choose departments solely based on your interest and passion, not on the basis of job market. Job market is highly unpredictable, and it's not worth risking getting into something you don't like doing. Trust me, academics in MS is highly research-oriented and hectic. You wouldn't survive a day with the courses you loath/hate learning about.
6. Choose universities according to what works best for your scenario, your interests. Blindly getting into a university just because you've been told that it's really "awesome" for the course you're looking for can backfire. Go through the curriculum/syllabus carefully before deciding.
Hope these points help u !

abujaniv:
There is a lot of confusion about student visa renewal. If you are in the United States on an F-1 visa, and you remain in status as a student (your SEVIS is active), you do NOT need to renew your student visa until such a time that you depart the United States and would like to return.
This means if your F-1 student visa were valid 2 January 2014 to 1 January 2016 (full-validity, two-year visa), and your course of studies was 15 January 2014 through 15 December 2018, you can remain in the United States through the end of your program, so long as you remain in status/enrolled. You do not need to renew your visa because it is "expired". However, if you left the United States in June 2016 to visit family, in order to return to the United States you would need a new, valid visa. If you were to just stay in the US throughout your course until December 2018, it would not matter that your visa validity indicates it is "expired".
Please let me know if this makes sense.

I've followed this particular thread from the start but I'm not sure if this query had been treated before.
I'm in the process of WES transcript evaluation. I have both both Bachelors and Masters. I'm applying to MS program for Fall 2017.
My enquiry goes thus: do I need to evaluate both Bachelors and Masters for my intended MS applications?

How were you able to get it waived? I emailed the admissions office and told them that I couldn't do it at that moment and I'm really interested in going to their school... plus the deadlines were approaching! They told me to have my councillor submit a request on my behalf and then I told them I've not been in contact with him for a while so it'll be inappropriate to have him send a request on my behalf as he's not up to date with my current financial status. And voila, they waived it and I was able to submit my application! ...yeah I was telling THE TRUTH! Application fee is the easiest thing to have waived by U.S Universities. Tuition and other fees, that na another story! Unless you sell yourself to them in ways that would have everyone in admissions crying. 2 Likes |
