Morning guys, I've been a silent reader on this thread for a while, but anytime I come on this discussion group and see testimonies I feel sad about my 3rd class grade which always makes me feel as an intruder on here, I was denied 2 months ago (B1B2) and since then I've been looking for a way to re-apply as a student but my poor grade keeps drawing me back, to the gurus in the house, is there any solution to this? And what advice do you have for me concerning my US schooling ambition? |

I want to thank the house for ttheir assistance so far it has been very helpful ..... I am the guy who complained about giving money to some one to help me get a masters program ....he sent me a mail today which reads as follows ....thanks for applying to Kettering for an ESL program ( which is an English program) and there would be a Skype hang out when ever am ready ..... I need advice and also how to convince the VO .... He said its cuz I don't have tofel or GRE |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 12 by LagosismyHome(f): 9:40am On Jul 18, 2017 |
Victorgold: Lol... ESL is not a Master program Why would a VO give you a visa to go to the US to learn basic english. Is Nigeria not an english speaking country ? . This program is for people who english is a second language and is not an academic credit program That what happens when you dont do things yourself and learn from it . If you have a bsc then its really not that difficult. Go online read about schools and their requirements and that helps shape what u need to do how much did you pay for this ![]() 12 Likes |

Visa approved this morning, 7 am. To God alone be all the praise!!! To all the great minds in here, thank you for your selflessness and labour of love. I arrived early enough to go through all the protocols. Calm, collected and confident in His Grace. All the studying and research I had done went back stage and I allowed God take fore and centre stage as only His Favour and Grace mattered at this point. VO: Good morning how are you?( with a beautiful smile) Me: Good morning( smiling politely ) I am very well thank you. How are you as well? VO: Fine thanks for asking. VO: Why are you going to the United States? Me: I am going to study for my Masters Degree at Western Illinois University. VO: Why this school? Me: Apart from being rated to be one of the best mid-western and regional universities, the communications department faculty professors invest time in being readily accessible to graduate students.These professors, I also discovered during my search are organisational communications consultants for a number of national and international organizations and so I believe they will present real life practical experiences whilst teaching. The curriculum at the Communications department is tailored to achieving, effective organisational communications across disciplines. VO: Tell me your study plan. Me: During my study I will complete a total of 33 semester hours of course work and thesis. I will be completing 27 semester hours of course work with four core courses and 6 semester hours of thesis work. VO: what was your first degree? Me: I graduated with B.Sc Geography from the University of Lagos. My choice of study was Business Administration. I had been admitted on Merit to the faculty then but a policy change at the time made me unable to enrol. I was then offered Geography. I have since after graduation returned to my passion. I have also had trainings in Communications and a professional certification in marketing communication VO: How many schools did you apply to? Me: I applied to five(5) schools. VO: Which Schools? Me: The University of Alabama, The University of San Francisco, DePaul University, Grand Valley State University and Western Illinois University. VO: How many acceptances? Me: I have gotten acceptance from all five schools ma’am. VO: Why are you choosing to study Communications? Me: ( Smiling sweetly) This graduate degree will be leveraging on my experiences since the last 7 years in communications , It will also increase my skills and teach me to master methods of effective organisational communication across disciplines. This type of skill is in huge demand. A lot of companies here outsource this skill because it's professional expertise and skill supply is still very low. I intend to learn this skill using global best practices that can be modelled for use here. VO: ……Nodding and nodding typing and typing. Did you take any tests? Me: I wrote the TOEFL test and was prepared to write the GRE however, these schools waived the requirement due to my professional experiences. Western Illinois in particular requested that I submit a five paged scholarly writing sample. This was submitted and approved. VO: Are you married? Me: Yes Ma VO: Do you have children? Me: Yes ma, I have two children. VO: Congratulations on that. Me: Thank you ma. VO: Will you be travelling with your children? Me: No ma. They will remain here with my husband. My mother lives with me as well as a live-in nanny. VO: She nods as though satisfied with my answer and then asked “ Have you travelled before?” Me: Yes Ma. I have visited London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Accra and recently, the United States. …..She then requests for my other passport and examines them. VO: Are these visas work related? Me: No ma, I went on vacations. VO: I'll be approving your visa. She hands me the victory paper and tells me I'll be contacted to be informed where to pick up. Me: Thank you ma. Have a pleasant day. To all those still hoping for their miracle, I pray that God blesses your hard work and grace your life with a beautiful testimony. 43 Likes 2 Shares |

My brother if only wishes were horses... Credit: femi321 There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course you want to study, To save you some stress start from this website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools using a)www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most common courses, you can start from there b)www.gradschools.com c)www.google.com (you can just type 'msc in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org . 3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the information you need about the exam on the website. You will get adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I createdhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0 TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though, some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone country. For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link below, 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. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/45tvc3ifi8wh8sh/AACXR5j6l3nsWK8vZx5P28TVa?dl=0 As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and funding opportunities, be very explicit. Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring (Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall 2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good for you. OR Don't even bother learning a trade as 'worldly people' had advised it is still not easy, just go and do MMM.
