There's a place where you have to indicate either Lagos, PH, Abuja or any other. If you choose Lagos, you'll be given two options, one mainland option and VI. If you choose VI, an address will pop up which is DHL VI address.
If you are talking about the part where you are asked to put in your home address and mailing address, then use whatever address you've been using before.

You're saying I shouldn't mention my cousin in the US?

At Nitta, thanks for your reply.
There was no option. it is the place where I have to input the location myself. The page where u will fill your passport details- just underneath it- There is a blank space for mailing address, postal code etc.
I think it is the pickup location for returned documents but not sure.

Please what should I write as my mailing address, as shown below

Chidinho10:



Now, I told you to send me list of MS Finance programs you saw and I'm sad you just provided list of universities with some of them not having MS Finance programs. It will be great if you do things in a nice way so that you can get the best form of assistance you need. Let's look at the schools you listed.


University of Wisconsin : There are several Universities of Wisconsins. Specify the one you mean.


As I said earlier, you should have an idea of what jobs you want after graduation and where you want to work before choosing an MS Finance program. All programs have their area of specialty and how they place their students. Having an idea of that will help you in selecting schools that meet your needs.

Also, I should point out that most top MS Finance programs do not provide full financial aid especially those target schools with excellent placements on the Street. So if that is a priority, you should also consider that while making your choice of schools.


Forgive my typos. I wrote this in haste.

True, bro. You are right. � However, when a state operates a University System, the location of the most prominent university is often not included. Just like the University of Maryland, College Park is often referred to as the University of Maryland. So, by University of Wisconsin, assume that the guy meant UW-Madison.

NB: And if the guy was referring to UW-Madison, the school has MSc in Finance.

People with bank loans get F1 visas on a regular.

Are you talking about the regular bank loan or study loan?

winterstorm:

Are you talking about the regular bank loan or study loan?

They're all the same thing. Most of the loans are issued by banks so they are still bank loans.

You're correct!
However, the MS Finance for UW-Madison is meant for their undergraduates. International students cannot apply.

Goodmorning House.

To the elders in the house please i need your advice on something.

So in my school, we are allowed to work outside campus only during summer, it was a new law that was paased by the international admission centre last summer since there are rarely no jobs available during the summer in school. So my fellow Nigerians here who pioneered the move and also enjoyed that benefit last year had been here for more than a year. I got in here in January. Fortunately for me i got a job with a telecomms company for summer internship, now the company said the university must sign the page 2 of my I 20 form and that i must have been in the Usa for atleast one year. The internship department communicated with the Homeland and securities department and they said i must have been here for a year before i can work outside campus but school says international students have the summer to themselves so they can work anywhere. Now i am a bit confused on what to do.

Incase i get another off campus job and they are not willing to pay cash, will the off campus summer pay that reflect in my record affect me when i am filing for my papers? How is it like or done in your respective schools and states?

Thanks

Yes, it may be an issue later. No any proper job will pay you in cash in US. That means your ssn would be collected and reported to irs for tax purposes and to dhs to verify your eligibility to work. If you get caught doing undocumented job, you and your employer are looking for the wrath of ICE. Try get EAD for pre-opt but the sad news is that it takes about 4 months to approve and you must work, paid or unpaid in a field significant to your studies. Best!

No, but tuition is pretty expensive for an internation student

If you can get someone to pay for you in the state 72,000 or a little more is okay. However, if you plan to pay in Eco Bank Seme branch, make sure to go with 85,000 for that exchange and an additional 7 to10,000.
[/b] Note[/b]
Go with 90,000 (in Naira)
Not the EcoBank on the Nigerian side.
Make sure to print out your coupon number and take it with you. (To avoid oke afufu [too much suffering])
Take your passport with you.
Beware of agents that charge additional 20 to 30,000 to make the payment for you in Nigeria.
It could just be a waste of your time, money..... and time.
You don't want to do that.

Sorry I miscalculated.
