Thanks to all those keeping this thread alive and thanks to SirRiddy for reviewing my SOP back then.

Am sure whatever I would say has been said before already, but I'd like to emphasize, that prayer is very important, it definitely helped boost my confidence and gave me the grace to remember and fluently answer the questions, because she really didn't pause at anytime, the questions just kept coming. Preparation is also key, although I prayed hard to be asked only 3 questions (lol), I made efforts to prepare very well for any question that might be asked. Best wishes to future applicants!.

Thanks bro for the clarification. God bless you

biikeys:

Why don't you ask them? While an acceptance letter is different from an I-20, they are usually mailed together. Just ask

Oseni007:

Thanks for your time and response. God bless you

I wish all the June visa applicants success and more testimonies here this new month.
#TeamFall2017 is gradually rounding up to take off.

Please guys, I just received an email from the evaluation body (IERF) I subscribed to to evaluate my transcript for a MBA admission in the USA.

They are requesting that I should send my WAEc transcript to them after they received my undergraduate transcript.

My questions are;
Is this normal?
How will I get my WAEC transcript sent to them?
Can WAEC do the sending?
Which of the WAEC office should I go?

Please help considering the deadline.

Can I pay the SEVIS Fee from Saudi Arabia using a debit/credit card or only a person in the US can do the payment from US?

Hello prospective undergraduate and graduate students,

University of Houston Victoria Campus is offering scholarships to all new and current international students admitted into the school. The school offers two types of scholarships to international students: International Student Merit Scholarship (ISMS) and International Student Cultural Scholarship (ISCS). Basically, the ISMS scholarship makes you pay school fees and tuition at in-state rate (or as a resident), instead of as an international student (usually twice what residents/citizens pay). All you need to do is apply for admission into the school and also apply for the ISMS scholarship. The ISCS scholarship awards $3,000 towards your out-of-state tuition and fees ($1,500). In other words, for each semester, $1,500 is deducted from your tuition and fees as an international student, which are $7895 for UG students and $7,165 for MS students. Now with the ISMS scholarship, you get to pay $2,998 (instead of $7,895) and $3,495 (instead of $7,165) in-state rate per semester for UG and MS students respectively.

TOEFL is waived for Nigerian students, both UG and MS students.

For UG applicants, they need your high-school transcripts sent directly to them and for MS applicants, some programs require your university transcripts sent directly to the department and some programs require WES/ECE conversion of your transcripts.

Deadlines to apply for either of the scholarships (after first applying to the university for admission by the admission application deadline which is different from the scholarship deadline) are June 15 for Fall applicants and November 15 for Spring applicants.

However, their MS programs are limited. They offer more Bsc programs than MS programs. For those who find their intended Bsc or Msc course listed, congratulations!

Be daring!

Can I pay the SEVIS Fee from Saudi Arabia using a debit/credit card or only a person in the US can do the payment from US?

Unfortunately, once the intended student is a Nigerian or a citizen of Nigeria, the online SEVIS payment is disabled for that person regardless of their current location. You'd have to pay via money order or in-person at a WU store.

IfAllahwills:
hello. Please how can one submit western union quick pay from London. Need information to give to my brother to make payment for me. Thanks

First generate the payment coupon yourself online, if you haven't done so already, at http://www.fmjfee.com. At the end, a PDF payment coupon will be generated for you.

Second, email him that payment coupon which contains a unique account number for you which he must use to pay for you, for that's only how the payment he makes will be linked to your profile. A sample payment coupon looks like this:

Notice the WU quick-pay details listed at the bottom of the coupon.

Tunnyz:

Yes

OMG! My Dad signed that part and I'm above 18. Do you think it's gon affect me and can I use tipex to clean it?

Thanks

I made a mistake on my 1-20 form . My dad signed the form and I'm above 18. What do you suggest I do?

Thanks

Please this question may sound stupid but bear with me. I've trawled through the thread looking for answers but haven't found. Here goes:
Persons who applied to up to four schools did you request your school to send one transcript for each case? (Thinking cost) Or is it possible to use unofficial transcripts pending admissions? Or Use WES transcripts instead of school transcripts.
And can you send GRE scores before you apply?

Whistleblowers:

OMG! My Dad signed that part and I'm above 18. Do you think it's gon affect me and can I use tipex to clean it?

Thanks

No Tipex for sure

For me , i would rather You neatly Cross out it out : Put as line through it

And if the VO ask you just say you initally did not realise it only under 18 that parents sign. Everyone makes mistake once in a while and correct . No biggie

It will be interesting to hear other ideas on how to correct .

Thanks a lot . I really appreciate your response

Biggy911:


Okay cool. I can do the payment in Saudi but via the WU Store right?
The second question is can i send someone to do the WU payment for me then?

Yes to payment in Saudi but ensure it is WU that has "quick pay services"

Yes to sending someone

In both cases you need to do the coupon section first and either you or that person goes with the printout .

bigfrancis21 has explained the coupon process above

[quote author=extrovert90 post=57106011][/quote]
Thanks bro

.

Biggy911:


Kindly help elaborate this coupon section thing, don't seem to understand it Ma'am

This should be done first and take the printout before you or someone goes to Western Union Office and then take the printout with you
