The best solution for your low cgpa is to start writing the schools you wish to apply to directly. Ask them what they would suggest that you do. Best!

When you post a question be as detailed as possible if not how can someone respond back for example
You applied for visa visa last year which usually has two out come GIVEN or NOT GIVEN ..... if you did not state the outcome then your question is opened up to assumptions

Thanks i wasnt given i was denied. I also noticed the contact person i used for my last application had an issue with fbi as i googled his name last week and saw some funny stories related to him. i am also wandering if it would affect my next aplication. Moreso, i nintend to apply for mba but i have not read transcripts of peeps who went for mba courses and got study visa.

@LagosismyHome ,walspring.

Please is it possible to transfer from one from to another in d usa without GRE and toefl and still make it for assistantship. I will explain better.
If I gain admission to school A without GRE and English test, then after 1st term or semester in school A, I decide to transfer to School B which originally requires GRE and English test for admission and assistantship. How possible is School B admitting me and apply for assistantship?
Or should I go ahead and write both exams and keep my scores probably later in future.
I hope you understand my questions

Please advise.

Thanks

Hummm only a specific school can answer this based on their policy and how they allocate funding.... you cannot use a general assumption when it comes to funding because how they do it at B doesn't mean it how its done in C..... Contact the school directly and ask

Also i keep seeing questions suggesting someone should predict or how possible. Nobody can make such a guess. The same school can waive something for what A in some exception

The only advice i can give is FREE money is not easy and its a competitive world out there so if you need free money then u have to be ready to put in whatever work is needed and pray /hope for the best .

MBA are very much here and even within a month i have seem at least 2 transcripts..... regarding what VO sees or not see when reviewing your application. Only a VO can answer that . Any other comment might be speculative

Sure its common sense that failure or bad thing has no friend or relative ....so if it's a doggy person (to reach fbi radar) it cannot be a plus to your application but do they check, i cannot say

Hello all, I want to confirm this: In the visa application form (not DS-160) there is a portion asking for First name and Surname, no provision for middle name. Does one write First name together with middle name in that space?

If there's no provision for middle name...put in the requested names in the space provided and ignore the middle name.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by Gunnerson: 6:32pm On May 17, 2017
Just fill your first name and surname as asked. no need for middle name

For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test.

During the interview, the VOs try to, within seconds, determine if you're a genuine student. That said, taking a standardized test is usually one way of making their decisions in your favour. But if your program does not require it, then be prepared to explain it to the VO and not just plainly say "No" when asked if you took a test.

I no even know where i wan begin my story from. Abeg wey my brother and oga @Oludare01
Make i cut long story short.
Na so I reach embassy last friday o, before 5am for 6:30am interview. I thought i had all my document in place, so i was just using those hustling guys to catch cruise grin grin. Until it was 6:30 and the CGI staff called us to line up and bring out our document. I no carry my DS160 confirmation page go. Make i go out go print another one, though na 500naira be all the money for my hand, na him police say i no fit comot sad cry .Esupofo! na him i start dey speak in tongue for my mind. after small time, police gree me comot.
On getting outside around few minutes to 7, na him the hustler i meet to print say my money na 3k. My eye clear again shocked shocked shocked. i sha beg the woman to collect 1k. Okay now, she say make i bring 1k, na him i surrender say na 500naira be all the money for my hand,second round of begging. Above all sha, she print, i run enter back. Me wey dey front before come dey back back angry angry. But God dey.
We do all the serenren enter interview room. Oya come and be seeing blue paper flying around embarassed embarassed. luckily, one of the VOs dey manage give 1 white paper out of 5. I sha beg God make i fall for the guy front, na him God answer my prayer, na the guy front i fall. grin grin grin
Suddenly suddenly, na him CGI staff bring one old mama from back come put for my front. Yeh!aye mi, temi ba mi. I sha begin dey speak in tongue for my mind again, dey recite Isaiah 50:7.

Suddenly, one fine woman just resumed at window5. call on me to come over. *sighs* now the transcript. Just 3 questions and all was settled in less than 90seconds

Me: Good morning
Fine woman: Good morning, your document please.

Me: *better person* passed her the document

Fine woman: *Calmly perused my i20 before looking at me* *unexpectedly* Tell me about your research interest.
Me: Wawu!this woman has changed parade o..anyways, God dey. Na so i start.
I would be doing research in *** at the university. During this time, I would be working under professor Yin who is currently research in ***. he is currently doing this by *na him i bring wetin i learn for undergraduate with hand demonstration*. This is imperative for me cos the North eastern part of the country currently need this and the govt has decided to fund research in this field. *as long as i dey talk, the woman no look me o, she just dey press computer*
As the woman no gree look me and i don tire, i just pim dey look the woman face. na so she raise face up look my face, nod.

Fine woman: I see you have assistanship, tell me about it
Me: Oya na... it is an academic merit award. I get the admission committee were impressed by my undergraduate result and the SOI i submitted during my application *to show i did the application myself*
*she look me nod again* I don dey thank God already

Fine woman: Does the fund cover your whole expenses?
me: it covers my whole tuition and i have stipend left. The remaining living expens...... before i finish, i don see white paper dey come.



whatever she said as the white paper was coming, na una sabi as una dey hear am o...me i no hear anything o...i just dey calcu as the thing with my i20 dey come say make the woman no change her mind.

Above all, it was a great experience. All thanks to God and my padi @Oludare1. baba and him oga overcriticize me during the mock interview.*One orijin onike for una* grin.
@imperiouxx, @bartino, @lagosismyhome thanks to you guys for your advise, when i almost lied on the DS160 and you guys criticized and advised me against it. Knowing i was honest with my application, i was a bit more confident at the interview.

I am willing to help anybody with mock anytime. Just PM me.

This is interesting and wonderful..

Welcome on board and enjoy your stay over there.

FBI? Make God help us oo

I always tell people who talked to me offline from this thread about applying for visiting visa that do you know the background of the person inviting you or you wanted to go and meet maybe he has comitted crime or got there via visiting visa and didn't come back and the same person is inviting you and what do you think VO will think?
