Jupiter and Direct are not in MD. And I'm kinda cool with state farm for now as opposed to the $271 liability I was paying when I was with Nationwide.

I am far away from waec head office lagos. A friend of mine told me that WES sends documents for verification through regular mail (post). Am just confused here now

I though they send it through regular mail as well until my friend recently went to his school to confirm if they received verification mail from WES. School was on strike but He got them to check it though and he said he saw numerous unread WES email in their inbox. So I figured it is electronic.

Finally, my visa was approved this morning. it's been a rough one for me but God has been faithful. I got three denials mid this year for Fall session and it was like I wasn't gonna make it thru again. But I thank God, that I ade it thru this last attempt.

Here goes my transcript:

VO: How are you doing?
ME: I'm great sir and you?

VO: Can you tell me your study plans?
ME: I'm going to Valparaiso University to study a Master's degree in International Commerce and Policy for the period of 18month. I will be taking up courses like International Trade, International Business, Economics, New Venture Creation and International Relations. These courses will equip me with the right skill set to be able understand the application of Business with Trade, Economics, International Relations and Public Policy. *VO cuts*

VO: Tell me about the programme
Me: Like I earlier said, the course is for a period of 18 months and I will be taking the aforementioned courses and at graduation, I must meet up to 3.0cgpa and must have completed 25 credit hours. *VO cuts*

VO: How many schools did you choose?
ME: 2 and the other is George Mason University, Fairfax, VA.

VO: Why did you choose Valparaiso University?
ME: During my research on the course, I found out that Valpo happens to be one of the few skls around the globe that offers such course with robust combinations of course from 4 areas such as Trade, Economics, International Relations and Public Policy. And I am *VO cuts*

VO: What did you study in your UG?
ME: Business Administration.

VO: from what skl?
ME: Lagos State University, Lagos.

VO: Why do you like Unilag?
ME: * I became confused here and told him to repeat the question*

VO: Why do you like Unilag?
ME: You mean Unilag? *VO replied YES* I didn't attend unilag, I attended Lagos State University which is also called LASU. It's LASU not Unilag

VO: okay okay.

VO: Valparaiso University and George Mason University are top schools in the US, why didn't you choose them then instead going for University of Bridgeport?
ME: *The Question confuse me small but I just started saying anything* After the denials I got, I just realized a course that perfectly suits my interest and that is International Commerce and Policy(ICP) and the course has to do with the connection of business with economics, trade, international relations and public policy. More so, ICP is more of a concentration of MBA and So I just had to make the switch. And after the completion of my programme, I will return back home to work with the Bank of Industry and see to how I can formulate strategies to help startups, SMEs grow in Nigeria.

VO: *nodding his head. Bringing out the white paper* okay okay. Just keep your i-20 safe because you will be needing it at POE.
ME: *with so much excitement* thank you very much sir and God bless you.

Thanks to DeeTus and texrem and other gurus in the house for their contributions. God bless you all.

Nice. Congrats Man. U got a PM

Upate how?

I plan on saying this
When I finished Secondary school ..then two elder sis was in the usa schooling so dad and mon could not allow all their children to be in the usa .so I was told to hold on but noe the both are done and back to the country ..meanwhile during that time I was going for moral classes and working at the family hospital per time

The documents were sent to waec through electronic mail as well as normal post but waec most times will not respond unless you can get somebody who works there to help you

As for the courier request ....just be patient in few days they will update your account for you to pay extra $60.

Finally,how are you sure waec will response even if they deliver your documents by courrier

Response back to WES is through electronic mail from waec and not posting

Advice; look for how to contact waec headquarter to respond to WES email regarding your verification

Why is it difficult for you to fill in your diploma ? The VO will not ask to see your certificate incase you scared or ashamed of your grade

DeeTuss pls beep me we need to talk my interview is tomorow

a wise parent will know america is not the end of the world and u can get admission but denied visa. ...why will a parent tell you to hold on for over 6 years when there are loads of universities in Nigeria

if u want to lie which i see no sense in....however if u want to lie , shouldnt it be a more sensible story

Why did you have to wait till now before you pull this up?

You were probably registered under your uncle's policy cuz that amount is next to godliness I teeyu!

He's in Maryland and I'm paying $143/mo full coverage on a 2008 Toyota Camry in same state.

Sometimes its hard to figure out why some quotes are that crazy.

I'm in Maryland. I used to pay about $40 on liability...That is way too much money. Even my full coverage on a very recent car is somewhere around your quote for liability

One cannot forget their educational qualification. I still remember stuffs from sec school (about 15years ago) wch i included in my application.

kingadebayo:
thanks Boss,
Please is this a normal process everyone goes through or some special cases?

Do you have questionable travel history? Been to terror sponsoring countries?
Does your bank statement look suspect?
Has a close family member of yours had immigration issues before?

Those are a few things that could trigger AP. But if your stuff is in order, you should be good

My people, I greet una oh!

I have full coverage and pay $93/month (including renters insurance). Now, I've never been in an accident so I don't know how good my coverage is (even though i have read the policy we all know these insurance companies are crazy). I've used the emergency towing service though at no out of pocket cost.

I renewed my visa at Abuja today. Most of the students interviewed by the woman on window 6 were not approved. A lot of the applicants were ill prepared, many of them could not answer simple questions.
Q: Why did you choose University of xyz
A: I decided to go to the US because it has some of the best schools

Consular officials know that anyone that wrote and passed the GRE shouldn't answer questions like that. I thought some sounded genuine but they were still denied. Please do a thorough investigation on your school and subject before you go because that woman was not playing around.

Congratulations to those who got theirs for the first time! Good luck to those still trying.
Cseejhay how far?

Abeg no mind my curiosity. ....but why didnt u apply for renewal through dropbox? ?....

LagosismyHome:


Abeg no mind my curiosity. ....but why didnt u apply for renewal through dropbox? ?....

When I was offered the Dropbox option the computer prompt informed me it would take at least 2 weeks from the day I submit my documents for the visa to be ready. I am only in Nigeria for 3 weeks and I still needed to renew my passport before getting the visa, so I chose to be interviewed.

texrem:
