pareeHot: No you don't need transit visa as long as you remain in the terminal and dont come out or pass through immigration control Anyone with a valid USA visa does not need transit visa for UK and most European flights . I am 100 percent sure |

Niv25: Community Colleges are a bit like our polytechnics. Imagine someone telling you they need a visa to Nigeria just to go to the poly for a 12 to 24month duration course. The hours are more flexible too so it might imply you're more interested in getting a job than studying, the primary intent of issuing you an F1. They are created to build artisan skills like hair dressers, barbers, mechanics, AC servicing or mid level health industry manpower like medical technicians, medical records, lower cadre nurses etc It's meant really for producing much needed American manpower for the immediate needs of the American Economy. They don't do full nursing degrees or produce doctors etc. That's for the 4 year university programmes. Ace your GRE and go for a rated university. Your chances of getting an international job out the gate are better 5 Likes |

Yankee101: F1 or b1b2 are valid USA visa . A valid USA Visa cancels most transit visa so not needed Quote from the link .. Exemptions : You don’t need a transit visa if you have one of the following: a visa for Canada , New Zealand, Australia or the USA (this can be used for travel to any country) |

sunshineluv5:my dear there is nothing serious to worry about in the quant section, there are a lot of books that start from the very scratch like the Manhattan series. Make sure you read such books, moreover, the quant section does not test you on complex and advanced mathematics. it analyses your reasoning skills using basic mathematics. Ace the GRE to increase your chances of scholarship, it will also increase your chances of securing a visa. 2 Likes |

Hello fam. You guys are the bomb. My visa was approved this morning 13th... Lagos. I got into Lagos yesterday and lodged at New World hotel in Obalande. It's less than 10 minutes to the embassy. I was interviewed by the black woman in window 4. She was sharing blue paper like biscuit. She denied my friend who I went with. Here's my transcript VO: (smiling back at me) good morning ma'am ME: good morning ma VO: pass your passport and i20. Where are you going to in the US ME: i'm going to Ball State University in Muncie Indiana Vo: what's your major Me: Computer Information Systems VO: what's your highest degree ME: BA English Language VO: why the change to Computer Information System ME: I caught a passion for IT while in the uni. And as the media director in school I had a lot to do with the computer. Also Nigeria is transferring her business processes from manual to automated so acquiring technical skills will make me remain relevant in the Nigerian business world. I hope to build business modules and softwares that will revolutionize the Nigerian business world. (she was nodding at this point so i continued) I hope to run projects with organisations like Andela that are promoting ICT to women in developing countries like Nigeria to close the gender gap between the male and females in the ICT field in Nigeria. This is because according to the Nigerian National Bureau of statistics, the ratio of male to female in the ict field in Nigeria is 3:1 so I hope to work with these organizations to run projects that will close this gender gap. (at this point she was smiling widely) VO: how did you hear about Ball State University ME: the first time I heard about ball state uni was at an education seminar in port Harcourt in 2015. (she nods in agreement like say she follow me go) Then my uncle also recommended it Vo: (cuts in) how did your uncle hear about this school Me: he stays in Indiana though in forte Wayne but he told me the school is one of the best in Indiana. (she nods) (I continued) I also carried out a research about the school and the community where ball state is situated Vo: whos paying Me: my uncle. He's a Medical Consultant and the CEO of VO: (cuts in) oh the same person that recommended the school (I said yes and continued spilling my uncle's profile) why is he paying instead of your parents Me: (smiling widely) he's actually paying back. My parents trained him in medical school so he decided to train me as a way of giving back Vo: (smiling and nodding) what area will you specialize in Me: information security system. This is because of the high rate of cyber crime in Nigeria. Actually someone close to me lost a huge sum to cyber crime recently. Vo: what are some of the courses you will be doing Me: business application development, Info security system ,computer networking for business, database management system. Vo: do you do c++ or is not part of it Me: c++ is for computer science major. The difference is while computer science major is concerned with technology and it's improvement, computer Information systems is concerned with technology as a strategic tool that promotes business. Vo: I can see you're already working in the IT field, did you get some certifications? Me: yes ma'am. I did a short course on Data and statistical Analysis and also on computer networking, Cisco networking to be precise She kindly puts my passport in the basket and brought out the white paper (she kept it far away and was busy giving people the blue paper). Na so I take Waka today. Thanks to @drocks and @Jerrypeacelinks you guys are too much. Jerry may God give you an approval moro. You're a really nice person. Thanks everyone... You guys made this happen. Lemme go to Balogun market and start my winter shopping. � All glory to God.. He's so faithful. When you do your part (preparation) God will do his (grace).

Yankee101: so are you saying that someone who can't afford the universities can't comfortably get an F1 visa for community college...and I see no reason why you compare the community college in the US with the polytechnics in Nigeria...am sure the are far better than the once we have here. since I can't afford the universities I intend getting an associate degree which I can use in applying for universities to get my bachelor's degree...that saves money. and I believe one of the major reason why community colleges are established is for those who can't afford the universities. So why will a VO delay my visa only because I applied to community colleges and why are there more international students in some community colleges @Lagosismyhome I really need your advice on this ma'am..I already sent you a PM please reply me 1 Like |

Niv25: 1. I didn't say community colleges were the same as polytechnics. I intentionally said a 'bit' like because it was the closest equivalent comparison i could find in Nigeria. This is so you can understand the pedestal a VO views applications from 2. That you applied to a community college does not mean you won't or can't get an F1 visa 3. If an F1 visa was a game of chances your odds are better if you were going to a rated university and had a GRE/GMAT (Postgraduate) or SAT (Undergraduate). These also open scholarship avenues for you with good scores. 4. Most of the unemployment in America is people with skills closest to or equal to minimum wage. Managers find it really tough to hire qualified 4 year college graduates in niche STEM courses. They are scarce. 5. Like I said somewhere, a non immigrant interview is sometimes like an audition for a potential future American. No one wants to bring in or train at the lower skill level and choke the barely managed unemployment level at the minimum to post-minimum wage level. 6. You can still get your F1 if you can present a superior argument with compelling reasons, of course subject to the final decision and assessment of an interviewing VO Best of luck 7 Likes |

visa approved this morning at the Lagos Consulate. The young guy at window 2 very few questions. vo. why are you going to the USA me. to study and obtain a masters degree in computer science vo. why computer science me. There. is a current shift from "oyel" to technology in Nigeria. I would like to be among the young entrepreneurs that would make this happen. (I said other things too but all within this context) vo. how many schools did you apply to. me. Two schools actually because I did not complete my application on the third since I was given admission already at scsu vo. did you write any standardised test me. Yes. gre. 291. 144, 147, 3.0. verbal quant and AW vo. what will you be doing when you come back me. I started talking plenty nonsense on how dangote gave me job and this one that one. I actually had a plan to drive down to the answer but the vo cut in and asked me the question again. so I knew I had to go straight to the answer. so I said, I plan to set up a software development institute somewhere in the south east of NG just like what Andela has in lagos. I believe you know Andela right? he said yes, so you want to be a software developer. I nodded. vo. which programming language will you work with me. java. vo start to type. I will be approving your visa. you will get a notification on where to pick it up. I said thank you and left. but him no circle any location for my white paper just like folks here always say. But I believe it will come with the notification. FYI I was the guy that Twoods allowed to pm him. And let me now tell you guys what he told me. "make it about yourself". i just knew i had to change everything I was about to cram. Lagosismyhome thank you so much. twoods I thank you too. and also to every one who has been putting up information on this platform, I say a big thank you.
