Good evening house, I applied for Msc Civil Engineering at Morgan State University for Fall 2017 but still awaiting decision. Can something still come out from that side since they are resuming on 22nd?

Hi, I also applied to Morgan State University M.Eng Industrial Engineering fall 2017 and have been offered admission since last week in June. I think you should call school of graduate studies and ask that question.

kallowdean:

mail gotten and replied

Please, can anyone recommend a cheap hotel near murtala Mohammed Airport.

Felt you should state you budget, because the word cheap is relative ..

You can try Cottage Hotel ( 3 Anu Oluwapo Close Off Agbaoku Street Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria ) it's around 12k, quite nice service and they have a car that can drop or pick you at the Airport

provided you book early

Anyone in Bowie state university or going there for fall 2017 pls

Sad day....
So I was delayed today for the second time in Abuja.
I am honestly just lost for words right now.
This is not the transcript I thought I'll be writing today but God knows best.
If you recall I was the guy denied on June 22nd and the VO didn't return my passport to me. That's how I found this thread through a friend. After back and forth for two weeks I finally retrieved the passport and a mail saying I should apply again at no cost. Called the call center to book the free appointment and they did. On getting there on 24th of July for my interview, was told the mail they sent me was a mistake, that I should pay another 64k and come back. I did and here I am now. My full transcript below.

I was interviewed by a white guy in window 9. I was happy it was a guy at least. And was so confident all through.

Vo: morning.
Me: morning.

Vo: so why did you choose to go to Harrisburg University?

Me: I'm going to Harrisburg University because they offer a concentration in CAPM (defined it) in their Msc Project management and I spoke with professor Stephen Onu, a Nigerian, who has an ongoing research on Project Execution using Agile lean model and he has invited me to join his research upon my arrival.


Vo: Did you consider any other school?

Me: Yes I considered Ashland University, (vo cuts in) but why did you pick harrisburg? [/b]I wanted to say the admission is pending but he didn't let me. [b]So I said the concentration harrisburg has is a unique advantage for me and later said that Ashland admission is pending.

Vo: so have you traverted before

Me: yes I have been to Ghana.

Vo: so where did you do your undergraduate?

Me: I did my university degree at University of Abuja, studied political science and graduated in 2008 after which I joined a media company as a proofreader and from there I joined maritimo resources, a construction firm, and later to where I presently work. At so and so company as Sales operations manager and listed all my duties.

All the while he was typing and nodding his head.

Vo; then he asked so who is paying your tuition?

Me: my dad

Vo; what does he do?

Me: A building contractor and owns a furniture company.

Then he keeps typing for sometime and in my mind I was like finally I have gotten it......then all of a sudden blue paper.
My people I am so sad. But I thank ProfOjah1234 for his help. He really helped me and everything almost went as me and him discussed except for the delay. Sigh! Were do I get another 64k? School resumes on 25th. Damn I'm sad.
This plat form has really helped me and that's why I decided that I must write this transcript.

Frankly i'm not surprised. The VOs are no fools. You are not a genuine student.

I live 2 hours from Harrisburg and have done so for 5 years. Your post was the first time i ever heard that a Harrisburg University exists! ... and that's in the same PA that has Lehigh University, Temple, Penn State, UPenn, LaSalle, DeSales etc. Pick a serious school biko. The VOs know that you're all heading to these schools, not because you truly want to study but because you see them as easy routes to the US. Telling them that you chose the school because they offer unique skills you're interested in learning is a joke. We all know there are at least 10 schools between NJ/PA that offer far more and would be more valuable on your resume.

Here's one thing you may have noticed... you will NEVER find a student applying for a visa to MIT, Harvard, UPenn being denied a visa (especially if they were also offered scholarships).

Great comment Sir.

However, comment bolded above seems 'too' direct an accusation or statement especially when you don't have more information about the individual apart from the transcripts shared. I still do understand your points and opinion but I think that statement can be painful and hurting especially if indeed you are wrong and the prospective student is genuine.

,,,,greetingsss guys,,,,, pease i have a question,,,,,can an immigration lawyer intercede with the USA consular officer's decision on visa refusal / denial base on US INA law 214b as to review the consular's decision and reaffirm to the consular that applicant has strong ties with his home country and has a true intention of studying in USA

Not on non-immigrant visa.

Please I need help, after filling a new DS160 and answered NO to the question asking if I have been denied a Visa or turned back at the point of entry after my last delayed interview, I have also booked an appointment with the new DS160 confirmation code. However, someone on this platform raised a concern about it that I ought to have filled YES since I was denied. I would like to know if this will likely be an issue during interview or is it possible to fill a new one after submission? If possible I hope the processing will reflect before my interview coming up this week; I wouldn't want to pay another 64k if everything should go awry or should I go to the interview with that hoping to explain to them that I had already submitted the form before noticing the mistake?
Any person with a kind heart should help me with a mock interview because I wouldn't want to be delayed the second time; I never knew this interview would be another challenging encounter after all the GRE and multiple applications to gain admission. Fortunately, the school has sent me a new I-20 still with a master's but with a remark that I have been admitted into Msc/PhD which is contigent upon completion of the Msc. This PhD which will commence 2019/2020 comes with tuition waiver/24000$ stipends.
And again I hope this will not raise a concern due to the issue date of the new admission letter and I-20 form, that it is an afterthought, u people know these people are not looking for reasons to grant u but 1 reason not to grant you. I know my father in heaven is in control. I am appealing to any kind hearted fellow to review my likely answers to the likely interview questions via a mock interview, I pray the almighty God will meet you at every point of your needs.....

Sadly, I have to agree with you once on this.
Apparently its looking those one building unis deetus or lagosismyhome always talk about (forgive me if it's neither of you)

@TWoods wow!

I just saw your post and I'm indeed very shocked but can't hold anything against you.
You said I'm not a GENUINE student like you knew me before.
Well it's all good. I'm happy you have all the information in this world and are not ignorant to anything.
Maybe you didn't read a post I make about having 2 friends in that same school and it was their recommendations I followed to apply.
Ps: they are all studying and whatever they plan to do after is not for me to decide. You can pm me for their details if you want to find out more.

They are also funding themselves and I'm sure if they knew about this thread and the opportunities abound, like I now do, they would have probably taken other options trust me.
I only got to know about this thread after I was denied the first time and I have never claimed to know too much.
I did everything I did on their advise seeing that they already succeeded getting admission and Visa for said school so it was easy for me to think I won't also have a problem and follow people with testing result and not my own counsel with my ass still in naija.
Anyway, thanks regardless. I don't think I'll need to prove to you that I'm a student cos it's already your opinion.

It is well with all of us.

Did u see the part where it was stated that u should help a brother. If u cant help why do u need to comment or say something irrelevant. This forum has been for helping people. Some of us have made friends from this platform, and mostly from helping one another. I wonder how u came about this platform if not that u needed help for something. Serial killer kor.....serial bomber ni.....u will ask someone a question u need an answer to seriously one day and they will tell u to go ask google..... AfonjaIlorin

What happened to hotels??

What if he is a serial killer, pervert or paedophile?

Point of Entry Experience at Denver International Airport on 2nd August. I was a bit scared due to the fact I had not secured an apartment before my flight and wifey insisted on me packing some foodstuff. Declared everything on the form issued, and proceeded to the interview. CPB scrutinized my documents, remarked that I came very prepared with a full kitchen, I replied with a smile that my wife made sure of that. Stamped me in after a little chit chat about when last I was in Lagos.
Thanks to this great family for all the help.....

For those traveling soon, please arrange to eat at your stopovers, I almost died of hunger on the 10hrs Lufhtensa flight from Frankfurt to Denver, meals were great, from how the other passengers were enjoying it. But for me that have been over spoilt with our Nigerian Delicacies, the instant transition to a piece of chicken in a greenish soup was just too much.

Devuchka:

Hi what are the chances of being approved for F1 if you apply less than a month to classes start?

Why not prepare well on your application...
What will be will be, please take good time (at least 4-5 months) and prepare adequately.
You wouldn't want to gamble application fees this times!

gaviria:

I didn't mean I claimed 3 luggages. I meant I claimed 2 luggages and I had my hand luggage with me from the plane. So moving 3 boxes in total was difficult. And I just put my documentable in the DHL package that it was sent in and carried it in my hand.

three (3) luggage

two (2) luggage

Whether it is for a brother, sister, dog, cat or your enemy it still does not take away the fact that there are hotels littered all over the place.

Pay to use them and be comfortable rather than look for free nonsense

Hello
I so much appreciate all your good efforts on here and I pray that the good lord bless you all. am a new follower, I have an interview coming up soon though I have once appeared before the VO early this year ie April based on invitation package B1/B2 visa but now I intend going for my F1/F2 ie study visa, MBA with concentration on Technology Management to gain employability and improve my career goals, I work with a construction company as an assistant project manage. the truth is I keep getting scared of getting another No for an answer, please can someone advice me and also share with me the possible questions that are likely to be asked. If possible I need a mock interview from a good fellow here please. Because during my last interview, I got all the questions but he asked if I am married, the answer was No and I feel because of that he refused to give me Visa. And now am to go again hope it's not going to be a problem I mean the family ties stuff?

Also I want to use my inlaw as my sponsor this time around and he has a good sum in his treasury bill account which the dividend would mature by September. Still a good sum too. but during my last conversation with the VO , I made mention to him that I am the one sponsoring my first trip, Isn't that going to raise an issue? Please I need response soon. Thanks

You're married and your in-law is to sponsor you for a postgraduate program. Hmmnn, e get as he bi.

Anyway, to assess the financial capability of your in-law in sponsoring your education, it's not about having a fixed sum in deposit but his strings of income.
