I tried doing this. Didn't show me their research fields, just their qualifications. Will it be ok to just say I don't have a research topic yet?

Hmmmm..... I get you and some do include there research area and publication in there resume if you can get that but it's not compulsory to have a research topic, I believe it will simply boost someone's chance a bit in front of VO.

Best of luck.

Greetings all.
Just a suggestion, i think we should form a whatsapp group for everyone that got admission for fall 2017, with or without scholarship, and whose visa has been approved.
This will enable us to keep in touch before and after travel and also be able to give advise to others preparing for admission in subsequent sessions.
This group has blessed me.

@bold, it has blessed your life because you were able to access information shared by other years back, that won't be possible on your WhatsApp idea....
I deduce you intention isn't for personal interest but its far better here so anyone new to the thread can benefit info shared 3,4years back...

1. A lot of pain, sweat and tears go into maintaining a forum like Nairaland, that it would be ungrateful to start a 'group' off here that mean people would essentially leave Nairaland for the Whatsapp group. So much hustling goes behind the scenes, that we have to do all we can to take Nairaland to that first Nigerian $1 bn start up!
2. There really is no 'keeping in touch' that you can do on whatsapp that can't be done here; if you're scared of connecting on the thread, that's why you've PMs.
3. If people have been forming whatsapp groups as soon as they get admitted and travel, we wouldn't be here today, would we?
4. I'd rather support Nairaland - proudly Nigerian, than Whatsapp (owned by a foreigner). If we don't do it, who will??

So no, let's stay here!

Good day to the guru in the house and to everybody contributions to the success we are all aiming at for F1 visa success.

In addition to what others have said ,Just one question for you, 1) If people from 10years, 8years,6years ago etc formed this type of group you suggested, will there be a platform like this to bless you in the first place, In summary, no whatapp group will be more effective than this Family. FORGET THE IDEA. They say the internet remembers, its easy for generation after us to make reference to this thread and still be blessed just like you said unlike a whatapp group that cant be accessed through a simple google search. P.S delete your number from that post if you don't want scammers to start disturbing you

There are 1001 schools that don't require Tuition deposit but you must be willing to do the research yourself. 1) www.msinus.com 2) www.4icu.org 3) www.gradschools.com

Its very dissapointing what many people do in this thread! After getting their visa approved through the information here. They just simply take off to the united states and forget to post transcript or even come online to assist future student. Please dont be selfish. If your visa is approved post transcripts and assist other because someone also assisted u in d forum.

Can u imagine d millions of nigeria students that have gotten visa through this forum over d years but now very few re posting testimonies or even helping others. The moment they enter america they just forget about nairaland completely

VO,
Good morning,
I have admission offer to study a year course at a Bible Institute and College in New York. This came with institutional financial aid award, which have been secured. part of the tuition fee has been paid.
I am about to return my sponsor form, and its my father and his church (he is a clergyman here in Nigeria, also an alumni of the school) that are stated as sponsor.
what are the documents I will be expected to present at the embassy? (especially concerning my sponsor).
I am 32, single, employed, and can foot the school bill on my own.
will any of this my status negatively affect my chance of getting the Visa?
your response and recommendations will be appreciated, as I don't want miss this one through avoidable mistakes.
thanks.

There was cecemat shouting up and down here tagging my moniker unnecessary because i dont do transcript ..... as if anyone sucess in Visa lies in my hand and not in their ability and God... beside if one doesnt do one thing no biggie reach out to others . If my hands are full i cant take more than my power as transcript review takes time plus my life basket .

Regarding transcript self , you have more than enough here so even if you dont see anyone to review that fine too

After he has gotten his visa. How much has he contributed to help others regularly with all the noise made ..... na so .. kontinue

Not everyone can come and give back regularly because life gets busy. So kudos to anyone who does but its not a right neither should anyone be "entitled". It voluntary so if they help fine if they don't have the time thats fine too...... Just work with what you have here. It more than enough

Well you might have a point but then I don't think selfish is the right word to use, additionally we all have different battles and struggles. Schooling abroad is not as easy as we used to think it was, people are busy and you cant blame them if they don't come here to help. People coming here to help out, do this because this place is like a family and they are attached even though it is a forum where you barely know anyone in real life. For me, even when I am busy, I still find time to read nairaland because I have been so attached/addicted and no info is irrelevant. We all learn everyday. So in summary, nobody owes anybody, life is a phase.The days of bigfranc,imperiox drdolittle,kpollii,ojapp etc have passed, ours will soon pass and the onus will rest on people after us to keep the thread alive, you don't expect to keep seeing same set of people here forever

@Lagosismyhome, walspring

I have gotten admission to study Masters in Computer science at National University, San Diego. I have filled my DS-160 and booked a date for my visa interview. But I haven't paid the SEVIS fee yet.

1. My sponsor is in the US and she will be helping me pay the SEVIS fee. Can she use a credit card for the payment?

2. Considering I applied to a private, non-profit university, what could by my weak areas during interview? Mock interview needed please.

Thanks.

1.. SEVIS cannot be paid by credit card for a Nigerian student. It has to be Western union or certified cheque. The link below provides you more information on how your sponsor can pay
https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/paying-your-i-901-sevis-fee

2. I dont know for sure but the better the school i would say its better for your profile..... weak areas i cant say but prepare to answer questions such as of all the schools in america why that school and other frequently asked questions

@Capitas7

I got 2 pm from you before you sent me this recent one. I have replied your pm and check your junks or spam you should see it there of its not in your inbox..

It is always good to check our spam or junks at least twice in week because some important messages goes there at times

Sorry for the troubles. I'm not used to the PM messaging. On discovering it goes directly into the email, I had to change my email to the current one, after I discovered I wasn't getting a reply and you probably would have sent one.

I check my 2 mails and all their folders at least three times daily. Kindly reply the third PM. The earlier ones were sent to my obsolete email. Thank you.

just wondering what this country currency will be next few years to comes, as at last year naira exchange rate was around 150-200/$ to purchased visa fees but today rate is 400/$. and one VO will now want to denied student Visa, no be small matter ooh

Hello,

I just got my I-20. I don't know what next to do? Someone should please guide me on how to I can apply for f-1 visa and pay my SEVIS fee

I got a mail from my school stating that before they can recommend my application for admission that I need to send them my GMAT EXAM SCORE and the result should be 450 pass marks Score
So I want someone to enlighten me on how to write the GMAT Exam and I need materials to prepare for the Exam. I will appreciate people opinions on this.
