imperiouxx:The orientation is not that UNIMPORTANT. My school stated that in order to be granted the scholarship, one has to attend the orientation. The scholarship also qualifies you for the instate tuition plan. So it's your choice... whether the scholarship is important to you or not. This may not apply to every school sha.. |

k199192: There are unforseen circumstances that can prevent one from attending the orientation. Schools will tell you orientation attendance is important to retain scholarship or GA. Still people would come up with many reasons. I've never attended any orientations before and I've missed GA orientation before. If you're close to the school, you should attend. But if you get your visa days after the orientation or you couldn't make it to U.S by the orientation date, as an int'l student who has to pass through immigration procedures, you've a reason....... nothing would hold your scholarship. |

imperiouxx:A Nigerian I met here told me that when he came in, it was the same thing.in fact he's was stricter. They made it clear that if you don't come on the orientation day that you would forfeit your admission. So I still think it varies with different schools. |

One thing I noticed since my arrival in the USA is that all Nigerians try so hard to talk like the Americans. I think it's a bad orientation. We have Americans in Nigeria and I don't see them trying to speak like us.. I think it's a slave mentality by the way. We feel inferior. I will retain my African accent. If I have children in the USA then they can claim to be Americans but I am a Nigerian man. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

k199192:You cant blame them, I guess you have not had to repeat yourself countless times because they are not used to you accent yet. I don't think its inferiority complex when you get used to pronouncing some words the way white Americans pronounce just to make them understand you and save you the stress of repeating yourself. To be fair, we pronounce some words wrongly in Nigeria, for instance most Americans wont understand you when you pronounce words like Library as libry instead of Li-bra-ry, Battery as Battry instead of Ba-tte-ry,Laboratory as Laboratry instead of La-bo-ra-to-ry as well as many countless words. What really matters is to speak clearly and pronounce words well. 5 Likes |

k199192:Yes he/she is right but everything is still uncertain. If you visit quora regularly, you would have seen that are are rumors and uncertainty that >500000 Indians might be deported if there are changes. The Indians have messed the program up so much that there is a wait of almost 20 years or more for any Indian that graduates now to get a green card after H1B. You can only do your path and hope for the best. 2 Likes |

The process is step by step! First, decide your prefered states in the US, where you would like to study. Decide which program you would like to do Then begin looking for schools within that state and study the program requirement thoroughly If aný test is required, prepare to write it and do so excellently well if your aptitude can carry it Then apply for the term you prefer ( I am guessing fall 2018) Send in required documents, Get your I-20 and pay sevis fee, pay visa fee and fill DS 160 Schedule appointment prepare for interview, and get the visa FLY! There are expert on this process, or people who might help on this forum, contact them when you are ready. Or if you like, PM me. I will guide you! iameedris: |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by TWoods(m): 10:27pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
imperiouxx: Depends on the school. Some are so competitive that they have equally excellent students on waiting lists. In addition, we Nigerians are used to simply making decisions on the fly, no plan, no respect for others plans and time. That doesn't work elsewhere. A lot of schools like to be prepped. If you can't make it on resumption day, you should have known well in advance and informed them so they can make necessary adjustments. Unless you died or fell seriously sick and thus incapacitated, you should be able to know if you can make it on orientation day or not. |
