thats like N1.6million, how will you fund the rest?

I'd pay for my SEVIS, I-20 ordering, VISA fees and flight myself. I intend to do on campus jobs and if possible off campus jobs. I just need something to settle me there first... And I'm still contemplating on choosing either on or off campus accommodation since I have a friend also with me with same Scholarship to thesame school.

I'd now be going with $5K from Nigeria here tho. So I had stiffled on the loan for now.

CuteRedd:

Read paragraph 4 of her post.
Our culture and upbringing defers. I am a Yoruba and my upbringing in terms of how you address people older than you or not should be with respect.
When next you want to jump on a post that does not concern you please read succinctly and carefully.

how are we supposed to know that you're older than us

Is City University of New York a safe school for getting a visa

How long did it take for your school to verify your documents and get your I-20 ready for mailing.

Hello everyone,

I just want to clarify something as regards i20 and financial documents. As we all know that the i20 doesn't show all fees for the duration of the program. Will the VO only check if one can cover this amount? or they will estimate the second year fee also and make sure the financial document can cover that amount.

Thank you

Hello house, I am an intending fall 2020 masters applicant , I have stated this before in my profile but just to clear things up, I intend to write the GRE this year by July or august, , but by that time my SOP and LOR is not going to be ready ... And I don't want to waste those four free schools, can I send my scores to the four schools and send the SOP and LORs later?

See you are so rude, you can check my profile I am not a guy and I am old enough to be your father. It's your life nobody is obligating you to share stuffs on here. Ok

Then why are you here. How does his response sound rude to you? I really don’t understand why u have to post this. I think you should include your Age in your Monicker

Yes you can! inasmuch you have open applications with the schools in question. You're good to go!

Some schools keep test scores up to 12 - 18 months. Discuss the situation with your Program Co-ordinator (aka Grad Co-ord, if your program is housed in the Graduate School).

You won't have a problem at all

I really pray u will get it.

I checked your profile to see if there is any "red light" but I found none. U hv d assistantship, u first class CGPA. I can read through d emotion that u use to craft your posts, n i know u really want this Visa n I wish u d best.

1. Try n write down d usual questions d VO will ask n prepare a response for it. Post it here, people in d house will help u too. The most basic questions might catch us unawares.

2. Know d name of your supervisor. Know a few courses u will be taking. Know the research area u want to do.

3. Don't be too confident on that day. You are negotiating for a Visa, u r not demanding for it.

Also, try and let them know stylishly that u r first class material or that u graduated top of your department.

On a side note, I checked ur last 32 posts. 30 of those posts have the word "pls."

Stop begging everybody biko

I really wish u good luck.

[color=#006600][/color] In my opinion, you are a cocky person...I like you

I mailed a professor and he asked, in his response, if I have funding. I replied that I was hoping to get from the school but he has not responded since then. Was my response wrong? If yes, what's the best way to respond to such question?

Thanks.

I can imagine how you feel about this so let me quickly share something with you.
First, a lot of professors do not respond to emails, you should be thankful he did reply.
Second, you didn't tell us the content of the mail you sent, I mean what were you seeking? Was it an assistantship, mentorship or you just wanted to establish contact with a faculty? That would explain why he asked about funding.
Third, I won't say your response was wrong but I feel it would have been more "professional". Let me show you:
I have reached out to/ contacted the grad coordinator/ department or so so so about being considered for funding but I am currently awaiting the decision.
While my example may not be perfect, I pray it shows you how passive "I am hoping" sounds. You don't just "hope" for things, you make moves,you CHASE THEM and by letting the professor know the specific steps you have taken so far, you sustain the communication.
Conclusively, I suggest you send a follow-up mail to him. I don't know what you want from him but you might just have to ask again because Nigerians are resilient, we do not go down without a fight!
P.S I am sorry if my response is long, wordy and rambling. I am having cramps and writing makes me feel better, so you might want to forgive me

hello guys, it's good to be here after a long while.....all the best to those coming in in fall.

To the best of my knowledge, you can reschedule for FREE for just ONCE.

Hello friends,

I want to complete the DS-160 form and schedule visa appointment but my passport expires June 2019. Can I use my passport for the process despite the near expiration date?

I was at immigration office in Ilorin today to renew my passport but I was told to return in 2 weeks time. I was told the booklets have been exhausted and it would take 2 weeks or less to get new stock. I was also told people from nearby states like Oyo had to come down to Ilorin as there is shortage of the booklets nationwide.

I want to quickly schedule my visa appointment. Should I be patient or go ahead with the old passport which I will renew afterward? Thank you all. I eagerly await your responses.
