sunshineluv5:Request for your transcript from your school, collect it sealed and post it alongside your certificate to wes. If your school doesn't issue transcript by hand, then you just print d transcript request form on wes website and submit to d school for appropriate correspondence with wes. 1 Like 3 Shares |

Sanctus1: Bro... Take this advice from someone in the medical field like you too. Search for the requirements you need to get into a medical lab Science graduate program. This will even give you an edge in the nearest future. I'm sure with your biochemistry background, all you might need to do is to take some prerequisites( which could possibly be waived for you due to your BSc). All the best! 3 Likes |

Justwise thank you. I'd like to apologize to those who may have asked questions here and I didn't answer. I had some answers to give but I was on ban. There were other transcripts posted here for review and I noticed some errors but couldn't contribute. I'm here now and I'd contribute my best to this forum. Those going for genuine reasons, please don't change your mind when you get there so you don't make it harder for future students to get a visa. 1 Like |

Hello everyone. My visa was denied by a guy in window 6 yesterday 29th December Transcript goes thus: VO: Good morning Me:Good morning sir VO: How are u? Me: Im fine thank you and you? VO: Where are u going to? Me: Eastern Illinois university VO:Y eiu Me:cos the communication and media studies programme is organized in three academic concentration which is the strategic communication, human communication and cultural studies which aligns with my professional ambition (Vo cuts in) VO:What would the degree do for u Me:it would equip me with skills to be able to identify and develop the best communication strategies when the need arises and would also be able to provide possible solutions and recommendations as I want to work with the Nigerian Communication Commission as a communication specialist. VO: What do u do Me:I work with a telecoms company and I stated my job descriptions. VO: So wats gonna happen to d job now. Mayb u're probably gonna take up a job at next.He was laughing and said somethings I didn't hear Me: I just giggled along with him VO: Whats your highest qualification Me: Bsc Masscommunication VO: Did u write any test? Me: Yes Toefl. I had 72 ( it was actually waived but I didn't mention it) VO: I can see you're going for a communication programme Me: Yes ( he looks at the I-20) VO: Did u apply to other schools Me: Fort Hays State University and East Tennessee State University. Got offer from FHSU while ETSU still pending VO: Who's sponsoring you Me: My dad VO:What does he do Me:He's into import and export of goods as well as haulage of goods VO: Does he import cars from the US Me: Yes sometimes VO: Can I see a statement Me: Handed him a copy of his company's bank statement VO: Typing.... VO: Sorry, you said your dad import cars from the US Me: I repeated yes sometimes. He's into import and exports, haulage as well as clearing and fowarding. VO: I can see you've been to the US on a family vacation Me: Yes VO: Where did you go Me:Houston and Atlanta He typed for some mins and handed over the blue paper. My family members have actually renewed their visas but withdrew mine cos I wanted to apply for student visa. Now I'm feeling I should have just renewed with them. So also, before my interview I sent a mail to the school as regards my late visa appointment stating that the earliest date I got for my interview was 29th of December. I got a response from them saying "Please move forward with the visa process and keep in touch with our office with an estimated date of arrival. We are able to provide you with an orientation to make you cover what you miss. I hope the interview goes well" Mind you the statement I presented dats from May to October 2017 cos dat was what I sent to the school. Can I still use it to reapply in January? (Just wanna know if the statement could still be useful for a January application) Please I would like to know where I got it all wrong. Thank you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Fwesh101:RED FLAG!!! 1. You're not going to a super top ranked college or an ivy league, so the VO no go even look your face two times. 2. Unless you're trying to pull a fast one on your co-signer and dump the loan responsibility on them, then you're going to have to get a job in America and pay back over a considerably long period of time (IMMIGRANT INTENT ALERT!!!!!!!). ... This whole loan story would not sell even to the Consulate Interns that are still "gingered" by their new job.

Larox: I’m sure you were the guy we were all advising sometime about applying for an associate degree in a community college sometime while you are being adamant about it. Now you had to open a new moniker to seek for advise after reality has dawned on you. Like an adamant and careless person that you are, you are still arguing with someone who is giving you a tangible advise talking about you seeing phd holders going for bachelors and he should give you other points. Let me tell you something, you need to go and work on yourself really! You have a lot of sh&ts to get right about your attitude and approach towards life. I know you would come for me, but Someday, somehow, you’ll remember someone told you this. All the best 6 Likes

schrisade:1) You probably went wrong when you tendered a company account. Most times you cant get a visa with a company account, will the company be sponsoring you? why would a company want to invest on you, what do they stand to gain? The VO knows company account is used to run the company and not any personal use. So you might start to remedy your situation by getting your Dads personal account. 2) There seem to be something on the company account that suggests you might be lying that your dad imports cars from the US. I guess that was why the VO asked you again when he saw the SOA. Additionally, next time be very explicit about what your Dad does, saying he is into import and exporting of goods is vague. Renewing your visa with your family wont have changed anything since they are different classes of visas. |

NEWBIE ALERT ![]() Too many questions To ask let me start from here.. . Gurus in house I salute Una!... Searching tru mastersportal.eu for a cheap school in the US where I can do my masters, the schools I'm seeing on the site are expensive and they require IELTS.. The Question now is a) Where can I or rather which site can I use to search for cheap schools in the US offering masters in Geology b) does GRE serve same purpose as IELTS Thank you in advance settings Cc: Twoods ![]() |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by femi312: 11:08pm On Dec 30, 2017 |
Magma012:You are welcome. First why are you looking for schools without considering chances of you getting assistanships? Trust me you don't want to come to the US without any form of funding. Even if you will at least pay for first semester, you need to have the possibility of getting funded in the second semester. This post below and the links might be helpful to you and ignore anything that is not applicable to you. Secondly GRE and IESLT dont serve the same purpose. Toefl and IESLT serve the same purpose but most schools in US require TOEFL. 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 created https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0 For every Engineering graduate school prospect coming here to ask for school suggestions, who does not have access to US news ranking, this spreadsheet might save you some stress. It has all the 2017 ranking of Engineering schools. It wont take you more than a week to start sending emails, perusing each school website to see which one of them you have chances of getting into and which one meets your goals and aspirations. 6 Likes |

Chidinho10:I don't really know about your first statement but indians take loans in there country and not the US. However taking a US loan for an MBA in a top school or Carnegie Mellon is an investment unlike a one building school. Saying 'people' is over blowing it, I don't know/or heard of anyone that has gone to the embasy with US loan but I know some who go with SOA but end up using US loans to fund there education once they arrive in the US.The VOs are not daft, taking a US loan means you are not coming back to your home country anytime soon. How will you pay a US loan back with INTEREST if you don't stay back in the US to work? How much naira can you really earn to pay a US loan back? All these are put into consideration.Again you might be right that 'people' have done it but its very rare and each individual is different. What works for you might not work for me and vice versa |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by femi312: 12:17am On Dec 31, 2017 |
blacnewton:I think you need to be explicit about the 'SSN'. A student who works on campus has SSN, using this SSN for off campus might be detrimental. Wont this be on the record? One has to be wise, so you dont end up messing your future up because of few bucks and short term gains. 1 Like 2 Shares |

femi312: You are right about taking loans to a top ranked school But we have seen transcripts here of people who took student loans, talked about it in the interviews and got approvals. Someone for UConn (fysapop), Carnegie Mellon (ishow) and MBA (Ugoh11). Search for them on nairaland and see their transcripts. They were all for Fall 2017. Thats one benefit of having transcripts here |
