Good Morning Guys

I returned from Malaysia in August 2016 after completing a 4 year Bsc. Accounting degree (I didn't return to Nigeria at all until i was done). I obtained my certificates and transcripts and never had any visa related issues or passport troubles for the duration of my study (Not sure if this will improve my chances of getting a US visa).

I plan to pursue a masters degree at University of Minnesota and i already have a friend there that's gonna help with the degree application process. I already read the first page of this thread and then the visa type, price and ds-160 form pages on the US consulate website. My friend over there mentioned the need for me to do something called EducationUSA. I do not know anything about that.

I also don't know if there is anything else i need to take into account. I would appreciate any information thrown my way from our wonderful brothers and sisters in the house, thank you. smiley

In fact I was really scared that I made extensive research on this ... fortunately I bumped into a website about similar cases like this .. https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/parents-signed-on-my-i-20-at-if-student-under-18-y-1797065.html
this should help..

Its not a big deal if she crosses it or leave it. I have seen many cases like that and they eventually got the visa.

To help with your question
Is this normal?
Yes it is, Transcript or certificate will be requested of all the schools you listed as Attend (that's on the first page of your login)

How will I get my WAEC transcript sent to them?
Check the uploaded picture below for list of things you need to take with you

Can WAEC do the sending?
Yes, the can and will wink (so far you aren't planning process it on credit) it takes WAEC 5days to process and 5-7days for Courier service to deliver

Which of the WAEC office should I go?
WAEC Headquarter at Hussey Rd, Yaba, Lagos , lagos (I don't know outside lagos).

My 2 Naira:
-be sure not to hand you money to the hustler on the street, avoid any story enter into the main building and ask the receptionist
-if you want to be thrifty in spending prepare all needed items before going,if you want to be charitable please don't unless you ha wink wink wink
-would there be any question about the documents don't be embarassed embarassed to ask

Fear not, you can neatly cross it with a line and when asked just explain that u didn't know it was for students under the age of 18.

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?
Check with your prospective school,some schools allow you to upload unofficial transcripts during your application,some accept only official transcripts.
Yes,you can send GRE scores before applying

For those who need student loans: you can obtain student loans from Citizens Bank, even as an international student.
Although, you need a cosigner who is an American citizen or a permanent resident with good credit rating to be your cosigner, that is the deterministic factor to obtain a loan successfully. You have the option of up to 15 years loan repayment plan.

Waka now showed me options for cheap airline.. I now selected the particular airline (EGYPTAIR)
And filled in my details.. I booked from waka now and then waka now probably booked when my payment was confirmed.. I received a confirmation last night from waka now immediately I booked.. but then early this morning I received a confirmation email from EGYPTAIR..going through the email from EGYPTAIR I was shocked as I saw another passport details.. I tried calling them, no one picks , I've sent two emails already to EGYPTAIR.. no reply yet.. I tried to correct it via EGYPTAIR... can't find options for that.. pls I need suggestions

Anytime you read this send me pm and let me give you my oga there that you can call and it will be done

Even on the wakanow website there is a warning about flying with EgyptAir and i still don't understand why you picked it maybe its because of the cheap price

Thank you!

Violation of visa rule is dangerous sin at the embassy.

Tell your friend to come and post the complete super story since you just posted the headline because there is more to this.

Maybe you are the person but claiming that is your friend if i am not wrong

She can reapply but nobody can predict how it will go

All she can hope is that the next interview the VO does not spot that 5 months and don't make it an issue ....... Technically she has not overstay , The VO might just felt she run away mainly because I am sure she was not able to explain why 5 Months ...............a good explanation would have helped her

I don't know if VO leave comments on each case because I am not a VO . hopefully they don't ........ Also she should not go without having a good reason why she was there for 5 months . incase it becomes an issue again so let her be prepared to answer that question

She need to prayer confess her sin to the next VO because am sure when she went for the B1/B2 she told them the duration she is going to stay but she stayed more than that and automatically she lied and deceived the VO who interviewed her then and i believe they always want honest and truth when applying

Guys, pls the i20 says, the parent or guardian, and student, must sign if student is below 18. Please, does this mean that if the student is above 18, ONLY THE STUDENT SHOULD SIGN, therefore the space for parent's or guardian's name and signature should be left vacant?

If applicant is below 18 the guardian and parents sign on the applicant behalf if not the applicant will sign him/herself

Do you live in Lagos ? ........If Yes then just go to the airport and find Egyptair desk or where ever their reservation office is ...... . They should be able to correct it .......Alternatively waka now should be able to correct it as well . Find their number or details and reach out to them to correct it

Check your confirmation if you have a booking reference and then your last name . With the link below you might be able to amend some details under (Provide Advanced Passenger Information )
https://www.egyptair.com/en/Book/Pages/my-reservations.aspx

Since it was wakanow then wakanow will have to correct from their because they are the one who issued the ticket for him on behalf of EygptAir

LagosismyHome:


Cool ...... Egypair also in Abuja so if Waka now cannot correct (but they should) then here you go . Best to go in person
