This is the best post I have read on NL in a while. When I hear that a Nigerian comes to the US on student loan because of it is MBA, I laff in Chinese. I am an MBA student studying in an OK school. Could I have gotten admitted to a higher ranked school, I would say yes but I tried to be real. I cannot borrow $100,000 and be running up and down to get a job that I might never get. I have seen graduates of my school, evn non-Americans get jobs in Amazon and Boeing. F-1 visa student is F-1 visa student whether in Harvard or "1-building" school. Of course, school ranking helps but immigration in the United States is very unfriendly right now.Like you said, MBA is not a STEM course and even for the STEM courses, you neeed to get a job to enjoy the OPT. The US hustle is real my people.

I'm sorry this is coming rather late, if you paid SEVIS fee in less than a year ago, you don't need to pay any dime to anybody. If you've changed the school you're going from the previous, all you need do is change the SEVIS from that school to the latter. Stay blessed bro.

Walspring:


I hope is not the agent that you used said the bold statement to you?

Sevis fee is valid for 365 days which is one year as from the day of payment..

Part 13? Lol! Just like yesterday, that's how 2 years flew by o. This time yesterday, I was waiting for them schools to give me admission, now now I'm already completing my studies and planning to head home. It's been a fun experience. ���

To those who sent me PMs, I don't have access to that email anymore. I'll probably just create a new account.

How y'all doing?

Good day everyone, can someone reapply for visa interview immediately after rejection or do I have to wait for 3months. The school resumption is imminent 29 May 2018.

LagosismyHome:


Hummm how have you been. Trust you been well.

So like play graduation don reach . Time flies oo. All the best

sureb0y:


Yes, I think you can, as long as something significant changes with your application. Like fixing the mistakes, and being better prepared. If not, they'll just lazily reject it and you'll waste money.

This isn't legal advice. Just an opinion.

Bro please which course you studied?

Hey, look you can get into a masters program even with that CGPA. I was waiting to be done with everything before posting my story.
My undergraduate CGPA was 2.7/5, Geophysics.
2.8/4 - transcript evaluation.
That didn't stop me. I applied for fall 2017 and got back to back rejects. Just an admit from one but couldn't attend due to lack of funds.
I sat for the GRE but my score wasn't stellar either. 295...Quant 151. I didn't mind.
I applied to 9 universities this fall. 4 rejects, 5 admits with some sort of funding in some.
Everything is about packaging and knowing what you want.
Your Statement of Purpose, Recommendation letters, Resume should all be on point. And a drive to succeed on your intended course of study. E.g...if it's Geosciences or CS, what are the computer applications you can use that can make you valuable in that field. What courses have you gotten yourself trained in to make your CV attractive?.
The God factor and several other factors.
I make use of Yocket, Quora and gradcafe a lot.
Especially Yocket because there you'll get school reviews and find and connect with so many Indians with similar profiles or even lesser and you'll also be able to channel your choice of schools according to your profile.
Don't ever think you can't get into grad school with a 2.7 CGPA.
Make the internet and search box engine your friend today.
Good luck.
