Hello the brillant gurus of nairaland, please i need your help, please i have done my first degree (Biochemistry - GP 2.6/4.0) and Masters degree Environmental technology GP 4.1/5.0) currently studying my Phd(Doctorate) now, but i truly want to study another MSC in environmental engineering , environmental sustenability or environmental studies related courses. I have gotten my Toefl-IBT result already - score 90. please my questions are these: 1. I need relatively cheap but good USA Science Graduate schools, which cheap schools do you think i could apply in USA doing an environmental related course? I thought my siblings would help take care of the school fees but i will pay from my pocket, i have kept 2million naira down now in my bank account for the fees/tuition. I will still transfer more for this purpose. 2.Can i still meet up the Fall Batch(September). 3. Since i have done my Masters already hope the VO wont wonder why masters again, well the answer is that i want a better foundation when it comes to environmental field work. 4. Are there cheap Msc Environmental courses in Maryland, Baltimore schools? as i have my sister and uncle there. 5. Do i need a GRE? (i dont want to throw away money as some schools dont need it) Thanks alot, would appreciate quick responses as university of texas brownville i wrote just said i wont be able to join them in september as deadline has passed. |

hankMacoy:Anyone can come first but you have to pay the SEVIS at least 3 days to your interview to reflect or else you might be denied. If you have trust issues then take a trip to Cotonu to make the SEVIS payment, you cant pay it in Nigeria 1 Like 1 Share |

hankMacoy: Get admission, accept, receive i20 then pay sevis and then Visa feee . it is now 57600 and not 64,400 ......... sevis and gt bank no one must come before the other , however before you attend your visa interview the sevis process must be completed and you go with a printout of payment . GIve it at least 3 to 4 days pay sevis before interview sevis cannot be paid in nigeria ,cannot be paid by card for nigerians either . so the best is western union abroad or money order . if you have some in the US or UK they can help you make this payment . also we have some trusted members here that help with Sevis like Walspring 4 Likes 2 Shares |

[quote author=muritalaolaide post=67012969][/quote] I hope you have thought about this very well. Of you eventually get your visa, being away from your kids will be one of the hardest and most difficult thing you will ever go through. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by femi312: 3:31pm On Apr 25, 2018 |
oluwaGod:First it will be hard for you to get admitted for a related course you have a masters in already except you don't disclose that you have a masters degree already. Your best option is to go for a Phd in your desired course. Also you will have a hard time convincing a VO why you want to go for another masters degree which is strongly related to your first masters degree. its late for September entry now, plan for Fall 2019 entry and look into Phd programs. No one can suggest schools for you, go here http://www.4icu.org/us/universities/ and check a list of schools in the US by states and start perusing each school website. For Phd you will need GRE while if you are so adamant on masters, some schools need GRE while some don't. if you end up planing for Phd , try tier 1 and almost tier 2 schools 3 Likes 1 Share |

Coxtie: I hope this is an experience you learn from. You should learn to take responsibility and stop blaming others for your mistakes. I'm sure you wrote those words in bold in the heat of the moment so I won't dwell on them. When you're calm, sober and can think clearly without your emotions getting in the way, you should think of a much better plan. Finish school and prepare better for Master's degree admission. VOs are professionals! Not only are they trained to sniff out incoherent lies, they've got so much experience that they've almost seen/heard it all. You'll need something big to lie your way through and from your interview, I'm sure you didn't even convince yourself. Don't let this weigh you down, it's part of the experience. Better luck next time. God bless ![]() 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Coxtie: If you Channeled this determination more positively, you'd be in a better situation. No private tutoring from me would change your performance. You're asking people to tell you what to say, i.e. how to lie to get a visa and I distanced myself from that. You're letting your desperation get the best of you and it's not making you think clearly. If you haven't reapplied yet, PLEASE don't waste that money. Give it a month or two to rethink what you really wanna do. They'd gladly take your money and send you away if you're still going with this story. I'm sorry, I can't help you with fabricated stories to convince a VO to get a visa. Try other people, or better yet, listen to better advice. On the flip side, I really wish you use the "I'm gonna prove all of you wrong" determination to prepare better and get the visa eventually, I'd be the first to give you props for being "smart". Have a nice day, sir. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Coxtie: Ok. I'll be fair to you and analyze your transcript and explain where you goofed. 1. You said you chose 3 schools, you didn't. 2. When he asked you to compare the schools you chose, you were supposed to do just that... COMPARE. (Your failure here made the VO think you didn't apply to more than the school you kept talking about) 3. You were asked WHY did you choose liberal arts? You tried to define Liberal arts and talk about it but failed to say WHY YOU chose to study it. 4. HOW will this program help you? Again, you only told him what you'd be going back home to do. NOTHING related to how the program was going to add anything of value to you. General conclusion: FROM YOUR TRANSCRIPT, you need to work on understanding a question before answering it. Know what information someone wants from you and work on providing ONLY that information. Take a 3-5 second pause to understand a question before you speak. When in doubt, ask the interviewer to repeat the question or ask "what do you mean?" It's better to not answer something at all and let an interviewer think you're not good enough, than to open your mouth, say the wrong things and remove all doubt. I hope this helps. 9 Likes 6 Shares |

oluwaGod:The good thing is, if you get a Phd offer in STEM course,it is usually funded 95% of the time. All you need to pay is mandatory fees every semester which ranges from $400 - $2500 depending on the school and sometimes your Advisor might pay that for you too. You also get paid a stipend every month of about $1200 - $3000 which also depends on the school. Forget that plan of paying for a Phd from your pocket, that will be a 'disaster' 5 Likes 3 Shares |
