I thank God i had a wonderful flight with Turkish airlines to the US...My POE experience was easy and not easy ..The officer just wanted to tackle me for no reason but he told me straight that he is the one allowing me in and not the school as we talked ...The guy made me angry but i kept my cool . ME :Good morning (gave him my passport and I-20) Officer :so why are you here ? me :i am here to study officer :what will you be studying? ME : Sociology Officer :have you paid for you studies Me :Not yet i will do that once i get to the school Officer :Why haven't you paid ? aren't you suppose to pay before you come Me :i have spoken to my admission specialist ,I will do that once i get to school sir ,i have enough funds to pay for my tuition that was why the school gave me admission...they already contacted the bank in Nigeria Officer :Are you sure ? do you have enough fund ? how much do you have on you ? Me :I have $4000 on me at the moment sir....(baba eyes open ) Officer :started talking in spanish to another lady who is also an officer...then he told her with all the scams that going on ...(i just dey boil for inside ..i change face for ham ) after that he just took finger print and stamped me in ... Currently in Houston chilling with my best friend ...Good luck to those coming to US ,Mehn God bless America . NB: Please if you are coming to the USA and you intend to buy a flight ticket to the state you'll be schooling at the airport ,make sure you book the flight from naija ,i suffer tire oo i thought i would get a flight from JFk to Houston not knowing i will enter one chance .All the airlines are fully booked and the rest is history ...Buy your connecting flight ticket before you leave oooo if not you go waka tire ..JFK is so big ooo ...I spent the Night at Laguadia airport which was very cold ...Don't make that mistake ooo -There's nothing to be scared off ...just tell them why you're here ...Don't carry indomie and declare what ever food stuff you have ,to avoid secondary screening because they know we Nigerians always carry food stuff when you say NO ..automatically you will be placed for secondary screening Currently in Houston chilling with my best friend ...Good luck to those coming to US ,Mehn God bless America ![]() ![]() 15 Likes 1 Share |

pandamonium: AfonjaBoston: He doesn't need to return to Nigeria. With a new I-20 issued by the new school you can apply to the Department of Homelands Security (I hope I got the name right) for update of your I-20. I remember my son once changed college without returning to Nigeria. 3 Likes |

cosade: Prof ITK who mentioned luxury ![]() I have lived in this country way long enough to let you know EVERY CAPITAL. and major city in the USA has a transportation system they may vary in terms of scheduling, sophistication and how fast between routes He is a student an international at that. He doesn't need no damn car. Most of them that hustle to get car like that put themselves in unnecessary debt. Get a bicycle or use buses. Am believing his school cannot be more than 6miles away from his home and there are buses in the school also With good timing and management he will not have problem moving around the first semester. There will be students graduating that he can buy cheaper cars from after settling down and saving some dough 10 Likes |

To anyone going for their interview tomorrow, all the best. I am yet to go for my interview so the following is also a checklist for me as much as I would love to encourage others out there going for their interviews. items to take with you: - A clear, transparent folder to put all your documents in - Your passport - Your i-20 - Your DS160 confirmation page - Your appointment confirmation page - GTbank receipt for visa fees - SEVIS payment receipt - Bank statement/ Any letter showing proof of funds, including scholarship award letters - 2 passport photographs What to wear This is my opinion and based on my personal taste, but I think business casual will be more appropriate than anything else. Of course wear what makes you feel comfortable, but business casual personally helps me to feel confident and more sure of myself. Questions to look out for I have had a look at transcripts and noticed that these questions are quite common (or variations of them), so take your time to think through them: 1) What course are you going for and why did you pick the course you chose to study? 2) Why did you pick the school you chose to attend? 3) What are your plans after graduation? Although from what I have seen, this question appears to be VERY rare. Prepare for it nonetheless, particularly for Masters students. If I have missed out anything, the gurus can help fill it out. The V.O is not necessarily your enemy I may be wrong but I do not think the default mode of the V.O is "Reject, reject, reject until an outstanding candidate comes in". I think that they would not mind giving the visa IF we can prove our genuine intent to study. It is an interview, yes, but it is also a conversation. Let us try and relax with them. Finally... - Rest well tonight - Pray for God's favor if you are religious - Rest well tonight ![]() ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE!!! 23 Likes 3 Shares |

pandamonium: Yes you can transfer and if it the next semester then you dont need to re appear or apply for a new visa you just need an updated i20. Although what.i am sure about is if you are attending the same school If its change of school and change of semester then i am not sure 1 Like |

AbujaNIV, the yellow paper states the review will take 2 weeks. Yet someone has been waiting for more than 2 weeks. And the response he got was that the visa officer hasnt looked at it. Resumption is very close. I am surprised he hasnt gotten any feedback/update. His interview was July 21st. Does Abuja take this long? Na wa ooo |
