Please what should I write or what type of explanation is needed from me.... Please guys help me with what to put cause I don't know what to write there so I won't make a mistake....

Please Gurus in the house,I have an urgent question, I Redid the school affidavit of support form to show the current fincial ability of my sponsors, But someone is telling me that the school must have sent the initial one to the embassy,I want to know if this would prove a problem....do they even request for it at interviews cos I haven't seen anyone here that was asked for it.

Hello Everyone, I was refused a visa on the 14th of May and I plan on going back soon.please here’s my proposed transcript...kindly help critique n correct.I am open to all types of criticism

I’m counting on you guys..

What has changed about your profile: When I came for interview the last time I had stage fright and was nervous and this made me lose my composure (It’s the same thing on my DS160)

Why are you going to the US; To pursue my Masters in Information Systems at Middle Tennessee State University

Tell me about your study plan- I am goind to MTSU to pursue my masters in information technology. The course will require a completion of 30 credit unit hours consisting of 12credit hrs of required courses, 9 credit hours of compulsory courses and 9credit hours of electives.I will be taking courses like project Management and systems development, machine learning algorithm,Data base design n development, mining and predictive analytics, software design and programming,Machine learning algorithms.Having discussed with Prof. Carol Clarke who is currently doing a research on thethe application of data Minng and predictive analytics for pensions data management, i am excited to be in her team because the knowledge and exposure gathered will he used to tackle the challenges facing the pensions industry in Nigeria

Why us; I am going to the US because US is the center of excellence in IT . Most of the big players in IT are located in the US. US is a place where all the best professionals and students in the globe converges, going to the US will give me a better edge amongst my colleagues when I return back into the country
Or
2. It’s a known fact that US has one of the best educational systems in the world.US has a culture that embraces intellectualism and academic freedom.going to study in the US will equip me with the skill and exposure I need to help contribute to the pensions industry in Nigeria


How many schools did you apply to; three schools

Name them;Mtsu,Ohio state uni and Missouri state.

How many gave you admission; The three schools

How did you know about the school- while going through a journal i was reading a publication of risk simulators and machine learning for pension data management, which was a paper written by Prof. Carol Clarke i developed an interest and that was how i first came across mtsu. i further made use of resources such as US school.com,college board, peterson graduate guide to look up for list of schools offering information technology and MTSU was one of them so i decided to apply

Why MTSU; I chose MTSU because they offer information Technology that is dynamic and flexible which also suits my research interest and professional goal.My research interest is in the application of Big data analytics and Business Intelligence on Pension Data Management. I would be working with Prof. Carol Clarkewho is doing a research on the application of Data mining and predictive analysis on pensions data management.Also MTSU integrates computing,project management and Business in there curriculum making me well rounded in providing software solutions when I return.I also got an $8000 scholarship

Why Information Technology; I have always been a tech savvy person, my strength and motivation lies in field of computing and data management. while working in the Benefit and payment department at ******Pensions i realized that there is due to too much lag time in Pensions payment which is due to poor documentation and inefficient data management and this is leaving Nigerian retirees frustrated and unhappy because of delayed payment. Pursuing a degree in IT will equip me with the knowledge and exposure i need in terms claiming pension loss,detecting fraud using Business intelligence. This is useful for me because I want to build apps, software and provide business solutions that will revolutionize the pensions industry in Nigeria

When did you graduate; 2012
What did you study; Geography

I use adope analytics and excel to prepare weekly reports

Why the switch-I have always been a tech savvy person. while working for ****pension as a benefit and payment analyst i realised that we have the lag time in pension payment processing and the major problems are due to poor documentation and poor data management in Nigeria. this program will equip me with the knowledge that i can apply to help me solve the challenges we are facing in the pensions Industry

What will this degree do for you; the program will equip me with the technical knowledge and expertise to solve the problems related to lag time in pension data payment which is due to poor data management and monitoring. i also want to take up a lecturing job at the university of Lagos as an Information Technologist while working as a data management consultant for the National Pensions Commission

wow good to know, it was your white paper that made me believe I should be hopeful that day.
congrats and wishing you all the best

Fatty16:
Hello, my admission got terminated this week in university of Lagos after first semester because I was an underage student, I was studying law. I am interested in studying law in schools offering scholarship at the US. please can some recommend up to 10 schools.
Thanks.

OAU would not do this. They should not have admitted you ab initio let alone allowing you waste a whole semester. Sorry about this. Try Berea college If they have your course of choice.

Schools don't send such documents to the embassy. However, you can still go along with it to the embassy to show as proof of eligible sponsorship.

Please can you give a list of university that accepts applications for MS computer science without GRE

blackmamba147:
Does it not make more sense if he applies for a B1/B2 visa instead, If the purpose is just to visit, Might be difficult to convince the VO that your husband qualifies for F1.

I'm guessing you probably meant F2 in your second sentence? The purpose is not to just visit for a short period which is why we are going that route since I am here on F1.

PROPOSED TRANSCRIPT
V.O:WHAT HAS CHANGED SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE?
ME:I have my Gre result and I felt i was nervous and not confident the last time I was here but I am now confident and prepared for the task ahead.

V.O: HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE SCHOOL?
ME:I ist heard it during an education fair I attended here in Lagos sometime early last year and then after that I narrowed my research to the school and found out that their course curriculum is in in line with my career goals.

V.O:HOW MANY SCHOOLS DID YOU APPLY TO?
ME:3

V.O:NAME THEM
ME: Gannon University, University of Buffalo, New york and Pennsylvania State University

V.O:DID ALL 3 GIVE YOU ADMISSION?
ME: While I was waiting for admission, Gannon gave me admission so I had to follow it up because it still has the same qualities as that of the other schools I applied to.

V.O:WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES THAT YOU THINK THE TRIO HAVE IN COMMON?
MESAME REASON AS WHY I CHOSE GANNON)IS WHAT I SAID GOOD ENOUGH…..AM OPEN FOR CHANGE.
V.O:WHY DID YOU CHOOSE GANNON?
ME:I chose Gannon because they have a very open blended programme with their staff profiling which is amazing.I have also read through the profile of some staff like Dr Laura Ruthland, DR Matthew Darling and these are great scholars that have explored this field and I hope to be mentored not just academically but also character wise.
Furthermore , Once every week, students get to have an intimate 2 hours roundtable discussion where they present and critique their work under the guidance of their course instructor with lots of seminars, workshops and training organized for the academic growth of the students.
V.O:WHY PENNSYLVANIA ?COZ I CAN SEE YOU LIKE PENNSYLVANIA A LOT COZ TWO OF THE SCHOOLS YOU CHOSE ARE FROM THERE
V.O: Still researching on this….help me out if you have any idea
V.O:WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS COURSE?
ME:I chose this course because of its blended way or approach in providing further advanced skills in creative writing .I hope to further achieve more advanced skills and knowledge in Language informatics, language phonetics and phonology Semantics, syntax, research writing, methods and materials used in teaching English as a 2nd language, literary criticism, sociolinguistics, poetry e.t.c. and try and incorporate it into the already existing educational curriculum inorder to improve the educational system not just in my state but also in my country as well.
V.O:WHAT WOULD THIS COURSE DO FOR YOU ON YOUR RETURN TO NIGERIA?
ME:This course will create a splendid avenue of self development for me upon my return.
It will enable me function more in my advisory and supervisory role as an education supervisor back here in my country especially with regards to the field of English and Literature both at the primary and post-primary level.
With the advanced knowledge ,I will be able to carefully compare and contrast the difference b/w the course curriculum of that of Nigeria and U.S and try my possible best to bridge the margin b/w the two countries because the education system of the U.S is best compared to none in the world.
It is also going to further hone my growth as a writer.
V.O:WHY DO YOU WANT TO STUDY IN THE U.S?
ME: Studying in the U.S will give me a wide array of opportunities to advance my basic knowledge in English language and International Literature which includes American Literature and the best way to study the lit of a particular society is by living and interacting with them since Literature is defined as the study of man and his society.
To have an advanced English language skills and valuable intercultural experience.
I will be getting an opportunity to study, learn and explore from a diverse environment the guiding principles of English Language and Literature.
V.O: SO WHAT IS YOUR STUDY PLAN?
ME: I will be doing a 2yrs program which requires 30 credit units where I will be having 3 courses per semester which is equal to 9 credit units per semester.The 3 courses I will be offering this semester are;
i.introduction to graduate studies by DR Matthyew Darling
ii. Socio linguistics by Dr Jennie Vaghu
iii.Victorian Lit by my program coordinator Dr Lura Ruthland.
And lots of other courses which are………………………………………………………….(I will further name some courses here too)

V.O:WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE YOU GRADUATED?
ME:I graduated in the year 2014 after which I went for my compulsory one youth service programme after which I did a voluntary job with Hanovia before I now finally got a permanent job with Anambra State government on 18th April,2016.
V.O:WHO IS YOUR SPONSOR?
ME:My uncle
V.O:WHY IS HE SPONSORING YOU?
ME: Well, he is actually paying back because my mom trained him in school.
V.O:WHERE DOES HE WORK?
ME:He works as an incotest lead engineer with Chevron Nigeria.
V.O:WHAT WAS YOUR GRE SCORE?
ME:282
V.O:WHAT IS YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION?
ME:I work as an educational supervisor with the office of the head of service.I am also part of the team responsible for curriculum development in the state.We create the curriculum alongside our federal counterparts after which it is evenly distributed down to the state level for schools to abide by. It is my job to organize training, seminars and workshops for teachers to learn more skills and techniques on how to teach.
V.O:WHAT ARE YOUR CAREER GOALS?
ME:I hope to be one of the decision and policy makers when it comes to education and curriculum development in Nigeria. I hope to change the face of education in NIGERIA such that Nigerian Students will not see the need of traveling to study abroad because they have all the needed resources at their beck and call.
I also want to be a resourced person in my field and the best way to achieve this is by getting advanced certificate and skills abroad.
V.O:YOU HAVE BEEN ISSUED A VISA.COLLECT IT AT…….BE WITH YOUR I-20 COS YOU WILL NEED IT AT THE PORT OF ENTRY.
ME:EXCITED...
PLEASE CAREFULLY CRITICIZE AND CORRECT ME AS MY INTERVIEW IS JULY 2ND ,2018.@Lagosismyhome@Time2smile

Why did you choose Gannon over PennState? . That might be difficult to explain. You need to think about the reason why you selected and applied to Gannon out of all the colleges in the US.
Also, I think you are in the best position to explain why you chosed two schools in Pennsylvania.
You said Literature is defined as the study of man and his society, how does studying literature in the US helps in the Nigerian society.?You might want to leave that part out of your reply. The other points above and below it are stronger.

Check out University of Michigan-Dearbon

Pls guys I applied to just one sch(University of Michigan-Dearborn) would it be okay to say so during my interview? Tnx

Please I need your advice house, I am going to GTR Columbus MS, I am supposed to fly in to either ORD Chicago or ATL Atlanta, then take a connecting flight Delta Air to GTR. The cost is huge so I am reasoning entering through JFK New York using Egypt Air (Arrival time 15:15) while Delta Air is meant to leave for GTR @ 16:10. I only have the option of waiting till the next day for the flight to GTR. Will the CPB official not raise an eyebrow? Do I have to book hotel ahead even though I am not planning to use it as I will be putting up with a close pal till the next day (though I didn't fill in my DS-160 to know anybody in the US). Please I need answers to my questions. Thanks

Chidinho10:



During my interview, the guy infront of me had a similar situation but with his mum. The VO asked him "Your mum can easily file for you to come to the US, why are you going through the F1 visa route?" Prepare for that question as well

Thanks brother. I'm armed for that question Sir. #chopknuckle

I'm still at sea on my previous questions.

As long as you have your connecting flight booked and take a printout incase asked then you should be fine ....i don't think you need to book a hotel if you have a connecting flight as you can even be staying in the airport all night. No law against it

please guys what is the reliable source to register for toefl. is it through their official website ?

Raycupid:
Please Gurus in the house,I have an urgent question, I Redid the school affidavit of support form to show the current fincial ability of my sponsors, But someone is telling me that the school must have sent the initial one to the embassy,I want to know if this would prove a problem....do they even request for it at interviews cos I haven't seen anyone here that was asked for it.

OGA PLEASE IGNORE IF ANYBOBY TELLS YOU THAT SCHOOLS DOESN'T SEND SUCH DOCUMENT TO EMBASSY.
AS A MATTER OF FACT TELL THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT OFFICE OFFICIAL TO UPDATE YOUR DOCUMENT IF YOU RESUBMIT YOUR AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT AND MAKE SURE YOU GET A CONFIRMATION ON THE UPDATE,
That's why you see some transcripts here where the visa officer don't ask for SOA is because DHS/USCIS has provided Documentations through the CCD report from the Institution to the consular officer for the particular applicant well signed and scanned or mail e.g SOA,Affidavit,Financial Institution Recommendation for Sponsors,EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION FOR SPONSORS,and DOF.
They don't need to request for it at the interview, soft copy is enough.

Good morning house. Please how can I reset my password on the embassy site. I tried doing the forget password recovery mode on the site. Yet no new password has been sent to my email. Thanks

Yea my bad, I meant F2, How far gone are you on your F1? Did you sponsor your F1? or someone else did. he should be ready to explain why he wants to leave his job(guessing he has one) and join you for the rest of your F1 plus Opt period. Then you or him should show enough finance available to support for the duration of his stay. In recent times F2 dependants have been allowed to study part time in SEVP certified institutions, as long as the study does not amount to what regulations define as full time for an F-1 student. So yes he can take online courses while he is there. So taking a course inline with his present profile won't hurt.
If you can convince the VO on the above, plus show your marriage certificate, he should be good to go.
my opinion though

I'm guessing you probably meant F2 in your second sentence? The purpose is not to just visit for a short period which is why we are going that route since I am here on F1.

Like many people have said here, I believe its always better to apply to more than 1 school (asides for Visa purpose). You diversify some risk away when you apply to more than 1 school.

I applied to 8 schools (A3, R4, W1). You've got to invest time to research on them. I only paid application fee for 2 of them, others only cost me time and data.

And yes, I also did the WES evaluation, but I ended up not using it.

please the name of the school you applied to that didn't request for the WES evaluation, thank you.

Pls has anyone used the service of ETX-NG in sending official transcript to the United State
and how fast and effective is their transcript processing.
Am actually contemplating on using their service, I graduated from Ekiti State University or if there is anyone who graduated from EKSU should pls hint me the best and fastest way to obtain my transcript and forward to the state.
