Milkshakes01:
Before listing all the schools you applied to, make sure the university you applied for the MBA programs offers the engineering program as well. If they don’t offer the engineering program, don’t mention the school.

Makes sense. Thank you.

Please guys, this is urgent. I was just about to book an appointment in Lagos for a B1/B2 visa and to my surprise I'm finding that the earliest appointment is August 14 I haven't paid the $160 yet but is there anyway I can get earlier dates? If I proceed with the payment would it automatically accept August 14 and onward dates?
* I have a DS-160 confirmation number already with Lagos as preferred post.

My apologies if this is not exactly the right thread

Good Day House, I dropped my previous proposed transcript for review and some corrections were made. Gurus in the house kindly give you vivid opinion. I am 25 years of age 3 years work experience in Finance and Logistics.
Vo: GoodMorning pass me u I-20 and passport
Me : GoodMorning here you go
Vo: What are you going to study in the US
Me: Masters in Management and Supply Chain with comcerntration in Transport and Logistics in Wichita state University a 22 months program that starts on the 4th of August and Ends in May 2021.
Vo: Why WSU.
Me:
I picked WSU due to these 4 important reason:
1. The Barton school of business has a really great faculty that consists of individuals with solid work experience and industry acumen in the logistics and transport space,They also boast of ex CEOs and ex Directors on thier faculty listbwith an average industry experience of 15-20 years which is fantastic. Learning from these individuals will give me a solid understanding of the industry concept.
2. The Barton school of business is the only school accredited by AACSB south of Kansas Missouri a feat held by a selected few universities in the world.
3. The school also boasts of a very decent tuition fee and payment plan which perfectly fits within the brackets of my family’s budget.
4. I got to know about the school from my previous Team Lead who was an alumnus from WSU and heaped praises on the Faculty and Staff
VO: Ok So what have you been doing since your graduation?
Me: I graduated in 2015 after which I went for my compulsory Service to Nigeria, completed in 2016.
I got at job at a finance company where I worked at the General Resource Management Team, till 2018 after which I moved to total spec forwarding and International logistics Ltd where I work now as an Operations Associate. In charge of keeping stock of the quantity of goods available at the warehouse, amount of fleets available for dispatch,Keeping registers of Cleared Containers.
VO: Ok why not study here in Nigeria
Me: Sadly the masters Degree is not offered here in my home country. Also a foreign degree would give me an edge over others when I return to Nigeria after my studies.
Vo: Do you have relations In the US
Me: No
VO: who is sponsoring this trip
Me: my Dad who owns Fadco Nig Ltd who is into the Whole sale of Building materials and sanitary wares( Tiles, bath tubs, Jacuzzi, toilet seats etc)
Vo: Ok visa approved. I hope your aware of the 30 days rule
Me : yes I am Thank You.

I know this is lengthy but I have mastered speaking fast and Clearly. Gurus in the house this is my first attempt at visa. I have no travel history except within Africa which I heard doesn’t count. The school promised to offer me GA only if I attain a certain first semester GPA. The school Tuition Breakdown as it appears on my I-20 is $23,500.

Warm Regards.

Interview is very subjective so what sounds nice in someone's ears might not the be same effect in others .... for a starting base i think these are ok and standard responses ... so just work on delivery and sound as confident as possible. Some are too long as interview is usually 2 to 5 mins but ok if Vo cuts you off..... i dont like the 2 bold. Just focus on the strength of the program that accreditation dont mean much so build up on point 1. Throw point 3 in the dustbin. ... and then go through all the transcript here so you can ensure you prepare for a wide variety of questions. All the best

I just got an admission, I want to add my aunt as Mom because she's my sponsor and we have the same surname. Again she has active US visa which I believed she must has filled so many forms including how many children she has. Is there a way this action can affect me.
NB:When I was applying to the school, I did not use her name as mom. Besides she's like a mom to me. She saw me through the Uni.....
PS: I'm just asking for someone

Why the lies ?. Or is it now a habit to just lie for lying sake ...

people get visa with using their aunt or uncle as sponsor. Some get denied with using parents are sponsors. So what exactly is the value of this lie

Hello ma'am!

please kindly reply your PM.

I will be very grateful.

I dont really check that email or pm... this is the best place to catch me

Thanks for response.
But is this really easy to do when the supervisor is the one funding you through RA?

You're welcome
It might be harder if the supervisor is the one funding you. If you don't part ways with the supervisor in a good way, it might not be very good. I personally don't like burning bridges with people that have offered to help me. So, unless your supervisor is an understanding person, this might be a very tough situation for you.

So, it is your call to make.

Take it if you see a future in BME or if you feel you can part ways with the supervisor in a good way. Also, don't be scared to reject the offer if you feel it does not align with your future goals. If you were good enough to get an offer for BME, you are good enough to get a similar offer for Mech Engineering - you just have to do the work and you will be fine.

Hello good people of NL,

Please what’s the validity of SEVIS ID and can it be transferred for use by another school?

Also, is there any particular interactive GRE thread like this thread?.

Thanks.

Please is there anyone in emu (eastern Michigan university).
Also, I'm trying to order the shipment for my i20, but can't pay through credit card here, please who can help me while I pay the naira equivalent. Its through study.eshipglobal.com
please help

Your sevis ID is valid as long as you remain in status. Yes, it can be transferred to another school. Talk to your international student advisor. For most schools, you need a transfer request form from your new school to be completed by you and your international student advisor, then you initiate the transfer of your sevis record to your new school before you can request for a new I-20 from your new school.

Why is it doing me like this na���

Bro thank you for your guidance.
My SEVIS ID was generated from a School I no longer want to go for. How do I place this request because asking for a SEVIS transfer from them clearly means I am no longer interested in the school.

My suggestion: go to an ordinary photoshop, take a bright and clear photo using a white background and ask them to compress the soft copy to a maximum of 230kb. If they don’t know how to do it(just like my case lol), no worries. Take both Soft and hard copies home. Use a computer to edit the image via “PAINT” and adjust the dimensions till you get a maximum of 230kb. Then you are good to upload. Very stress free. Trust!

Since you’ve not resumed, you don’t have a sevis record yet. What you have is a sevis fee valid for a year. If you plan on going to another school within a year, you don’t have to pay another sevis fee. You will go to the sevis website and transfer your sevis fee payment to your new sevis number. Go to fmjfee.com, then to I-901 status, enter your current sevis ID and details and click request transfer, then enter your new sevis ID and that’s it.

1. I don’t think you should go for Interview until 120 days of the start date on your 1-20.

2. Read up all transcripts including *Public health transcripts* by searching Vo Public health on the search bar and research well all through this thread.

3. Previous denials have little effect on current trails. Just prove to the VO that you are a genuine student.

Good! But i’d advice you not to go for Interview until 120 days of your 1-20 start date. That’s consular regulation.

Finally got a GA with a score I thought won't fly. Thank you walspring for the GRE discount and also lagosismyHome for your contributions on this thread.

Profile
CGPA: 4.24/5 Undergraduate
Course: Mathematics
GRE: 293
Schools applied to:
Cleveland State University: Admitted
East Tennessee State University: Admitted with GA

I applied to Cleveland State University with the profile above and I was admitted last year without funding though. So I mailed the graduate coordinator concerning funding and he said I was in the next round of funding.

I had to defer the admission to fall this year perhaps I would be offered a scholarship.

When I realized that nothing is forthcoming from CSU concerning funding, I 'shappally' applied to ETSU for Fall 2019 in February. I thought it was late cos I read somewhere back on this thread that all applications for Fall should be submitted before December.

I was surprised when I saw the email of the offer. The GA covers monthly stipends and tuition waiver.

Thank you all.
