Someone posted that his cgpa of 3.12/5 was upgraded by WES to 3.02/4. Abeg how is that possible, am confused with the upgrade abi boast his GPA got.

AzKelvin:


Thank you LagosismyHome.

So the sponsor is our family friend who has been supporting my education for over 15years now since my high school days and through out my undergraduate studies. He's into Oil and Gas business and has proven financial power to cater for masters program.

Hope this explanation is justifiable?

justifiable and believable are two things ........ Believable is more key . If your question is Hope this explanation is believable ??...nobody can answer that as it is subjective to the ear who hears it ... One VO might accept it another VO might not . You can only hope the ears you tell accept it .

Is there anyone here already schooling in Alabama?

Sorry for been delayed today ...although i dont have much to say but i did wonder why you would respond like that to the above ....

Why 5 states . ...we visited 5 states because we have family there or we wanted to see XX and YY or other responses are appropriate but didnt quite get your response or maybe you did not understand d question

5 states is a lot to visit in 20 days. ... Also I would have chosen those other two schools before Adelphi .....

although not really relevant to giving you any meanful feedback so sorry for digressing

So true neither do they see children as do or die ... a lot get married and say no to kids

That been said some times it can be asked to assess Home ties

I agree, I just don't think the VO can deny somebody just because they aren't married an don't have kids.

[quote author=DeeTus post=58638822]Please read my message well before you quote me wrongly. I said kids, not marriage. Did you understand her final script she said about the female VO murmuring?

Look, murmuring means a lot if you really understand English native speakers.[/quote

I'm not quoting you wrongly, the VO murmured because she realized asking if the lady had kids wasn't necessary since she initially stated she wasn't married. What do you even mean by the VO expects her to have kids already *rme*

Good morning house,
My I-20 was just shipped yesterday due to some issues and a scanned copy was sent to me.

please how do i pay for sevis and book a visa appointment.


Thanks all

Even if they are prescription you can still go with that , just in moderation but I don't think any is prescription.

Don't forget one packet of Anti malaria incase one stubborn World people mosquito don bite you before you leave .

borie4u:
Anyone here who have requested for his transcript from OAU IFE recently. please I want to know how and how much it cost you.
Please treat as urgent.

22k now and you have to request online. Even at that, you need to have someone back there that will be pushing/following up for you, or else it might take months for them to send it. Once sent, it takes 3working days to get to the destination

Hello house, i went for my visa interview today but wasn't granted. The gurus in the house should please help review my transcript and how soon can i reapply. My program is starting by August

VO-have you travelled outside Nigeria before
Me- yes , Ghana and US
VO-where did you visit in us
Me- i visited five states: new york, florida, atĺanta, Boston
VO-why five states
Me-that is the only time I and my husband have for vacation
VO-How long did we stay
Me- 20 days
VO-where do i work presently
Me - Bleep Bank Plc. I have been working for the past 8 years as a financial relationship officer. I market high network customers and i manage their current and credit accounts
VO-How many schools did i apply to
Me- i actually considered three schools (university of south carolina and university of maryland ) but i choose Adelphi because of the recommendation my mentor gave me and i did my own personal research. I noticed that the curriculum of the masters program fits perfectly into my future career goals
Vo- How many children do you have
Me- I'm hoping to have soon but for now none
Vo-What does my husband do
Me-he works for zyz plc as a category manager and he's been working there for the past 5 years
Vo - sorry i can't approve your visa at this time you can reapply

This transcript lacks depth. Much more than what you said, focus on how you say it. You were too vague. What are your future career goals? Be specific. Do you have an idea of classes you'll be taking in your curriculum? How does your current job tie with your Master's?

You chose Adelphi due to your mentor's recommendation? Which means you got into these three schools, and chose Adelphi over Maryland. And for what? Personal research and rec? Nope, you'll need to come up with better reasons than those.

To boost your odds of getting the visa, you'll need to help the VO answer these questions:
- Is she really going there to study, and nothing more?
- Will money be a problem for her while in school?
- Are we sure she's coming back to Nigeria, after school?

You can reapply, as soon as you're ready to re-fire!

A little prep might help. Better than you just winging it.

I'm currently doing my nysc but my admission came through with a partial scholarship this month and I have picked a date for my interview but yet to submit my DS160 form..

In the work/education/training information section, I filled in my primary occupation relating to my PPA, I want to ask if it won't make me look as if I'm desperate and ditching my nysc for masters.

Please I'd appreciate an input on this: is it mandatory for prospective graduate students to have completed nysc in order to be qualified for a visa

I'll appreciate your advise and comments so that I know what to stick wit while submitting my DS160

Thank you

I was at GT bank yesterday to inquire about PTA and the requirement. They give PTA to students now, even if you have a one way ticket. So you may want to try them.

Carry the following
- Passport with Valid Visa
- Flight Ticket
- School documents such as i20 and Admission letter.

You must apply not not less than 13 days before your trip (*hope I remeber this clearly).

For those who have travelled already (#Fall17). Drop trvel transcripts let's know your experience and any relevant tips you may have.

Follow UP

..So the above discovery was made yesterday at GT Bank Ajah and also GT Bank, the one close to Balogun Market (**I dont know thw bramch name exactly, I am not conversant with Lagos, I find my way using Google Map and asking questions.)..They both gave the same response. I actually checked twice to be sure this was the case.

..Today after collecting my passport at DHL, Victoria Island, I decided to test my findings. I located one big GT Bank. Close to Law School. The place is well arranged and beautiful. So I went to the customer care lady she directed me to the cashier incharge. I was asked for the same thing.

- Flight Ticket
- Passport Data Page
- Passport Visa page

On submitting them she asked where's my return ticket, I was like what ?!!!! . Told her am going for studies, with a stern look. She carefully perused my Visa Page and went to her colleague to ask questions. Later went for photocopy, asked me to write my account number and Phone number. and told me to return tomorrow to pick it up. Saying of there's anything they need I would be called.

Just make sure it's less than 14 days to your travel date and make them understand you are a student and don't need a return ticket.

Hope this helps someone
