Lovelywings:exactly my thoughts because the way consular officers are drilling applicants and delaying them is quite alarming compare to fall 2017. even the visas fee is a pure scam 160 dollars at 400 naira per dollars... even in the most remote black market it's not sold at that rate... 1 Like |

Good Day Great People, I am a newbie here and I need some enlightenment. I wish to apply for MSc Finance in the US, but I have a constraint, my BSc CGPA is low. I had 2.6/5. I wish to know if I stand a chance to get Admission provided I have a good GRE score. I believe I can do well in GRE if I prepare well for it. Kindly help me with necessary information that I need, if this CGPA is good enough to get me Masters Admission or I should stay back for my masters here and go for PhD in the States. Your expert opinions will be very much appreciated. |

Hello everyone I am sorry this is coming very late. Better late than never. Thanks for all the transcripts posted here, they've been of good use to silent users like me. I had my interview on Friday, Dec 22. It was a quick one. My transcript goes thus: VO: Collects my I-20. What are you going to the US for? Me: I am going for my Ms Food Science at the North Carolina A&T state University. VO: What is your professional goal? Me: (Takes a pause, this question was totally unexpected ). I would like to be a professional in food preservation in a bid to apply myself to tackling yhe rising food security issues in a developing country like Nigeria. VO: Did you write any standardized test? Me: I didn’t, as it was waived because of my gpa and statement of purpose. VO: What courses will you be taking? Me: Nutrition and disease, Food preservation, Hazard analysis and critical control points, Food quality control, etc VO: How applicable are these courses to your professional goal? Me: (Almost went dumb) Food preservation is central amongst other factors to achieving food security. The knowledge of Nutrition and quality control ensures nutrition is not compromised in a bid to achieving food preservation. VO: Who will be sponsoring you? Me: My dad VO: What does he do for a living? Me: (mentions my dad's profession) VO: Do you have any proof to support his abilities to sponsor you? Me: Passes my SOA VO: This is not recent and it's for september Me: I used this when I applied VO: Has he ever travelled before? Me: No, he has had no reason to. I figured this might be the deciding factor and saw her typing away. I had an assistantship from the school which was not documented on my I-20. At that point, I had to scream at the top of my voice, ma'am! I have an assistantship from the school VO: oh! This isn't stated on your I-20. She collected my letter of assistantship and put me on administrative processing. My start date was Jan 8 and it was a race against time. Visa was eventually approved on Jan 3 and was picked up Friday, Jan 5. I had to travel on Sunday just to enter the US on the 8th. I just spent the first week here in the US and I must confess it's been stressful. Thanks to God and nairaland for making this a dream come true. 31 Likes 4 Shares |

Lovelywings: You're being unnecessarily alarmist. People should feel free to come here and study. The H1B visa has not changed and is not likely to change much... the difference is that the visa is now being applied more stringently. The H1B was meant to be for people with rare skills. Unfortunately it's been abused by mostly IT companies who have been using it to bring in low skilled cheap labor from India. There are two reasons the H1B appears to be getting more difficult: 1. Unlike before where renewals of H1Bs was almost a given, now each renewal is now treated as a fresh application. 2. they are now scrutinizing H1Bs to ensure that it is indeed going to the best and brightest - for example, does your job REALLY require an advanced skill? Are you being paid wages commensurate with your skill? The folks who are getting hit the hardest are Indian IT companies who now have to justify every single cheap labor H1B. Don't forget also, there are literally thousands of H1B folks here. Considering that the feds have been in a hiring freeze for a while, it is getting more difficult to process each application/renewal in record time. This goes back to a lot of the advice I've given here before that folks like to dismiss - apply and get in to top schools! Go for degrees that are in demand (not social work and criminal justice), degrees that guarantee you a skilled job that American employers are seeking to fill. If a top US employer is looking to hire you with top pay, there is no executive order that can stop you. If you attended a 1-building school to earn a masters in English... well sorry. You get what you get. Also, there is only so much executive orders can do. The OPT and H1B are enshrined in law and only congress can make substantive changes to them. The president can tighten a few screws with executive orders here and there but there is a limit to his power. Left to Trump, the diversity visa lottery system would long have ended and you would no longer be able to petition for an immigrant visa for relatives... but again, this requires legislative change and there is nothing he can do to this. This is not the Buhari government. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Gospelozy: Masters in education with a GRE of 276. The funny thing is that you’re asking for funding/graduate assistantship. You’re unlikely to get either. There were lengthy posts here about the possible changes expected to the h1b. What type of job do you expect to get after your masters degree? 2 Likes |
