EduUSA requires annual membership fee and a sum for registration.

We have Education USA Lagos and Abuja. Its all over the web. Search 'Education USA Nigeria'

You choice of schools are great.

Visa Interview will be seamless if you're a member of EDU USA because you must have gotten sufficient knowledge about the whole application process from the program. Hence, the need of membership from Minnesota.

Ifesinachi22:



God bless you for your prompt response.
I don't stay in either Abuja or Lagos.
I stay in Enugu.
How do i attend their courses?
Can it be done online?

I want to apply for Spring 2020. Will i still meet up since it's a full year membership?
What if i drop Minnesota that has membership as a pre requisite for admission

Brown2Green:


All Minnesota needs is your membership and I believe you can achieve that. Registration is around 30k. And if they call for seminars you can find time to attend .

You certainly shouldn't apply or hope on only one school. It is ideal to apply to at least 3 CHOICE schools. So by all means, drop Minnesota if they don't fall into your plans.
Spring generally has very low funding. Hope you know that?

You can PM me if you have further concerns.

Phrance:
School resume by June 26
And I didn't follow up on any other school for admission after I have gotten admitted here.
But now am hearing VIU is red flag school
Getting confuse already.

Phrance:
Good day all,
Am very new here, someone refer me to this page after my visa was denied on Friday.
This is the conversation ;
Vo: pass me ur visa and I-20
Vo: wat program are you going for in usa
Me: MBA accounting in VIU
Vo: why VIU
Me: my cousin introduce the sch to me. And my personal research shows the school have values align with my choice of career.
Vo: are you marry
Me: no but am engage
Vo: so where is your fiance
Me: she is a medical student doing her Houseman ship here in Nigeria
Vo: oh that's very nice. So aunt will sponsor you.
Me: yes, she has been in support of my career.
Vo: ok good (he started typing.... And stop)
Vo: but ur I-20 shows nephew.
Me: it's error from the school, I saw it late after my appointment have been booked.
Vo: so do you have her SOA
Me: I didn't bother to request it since the school already verify the account.
The VO now close the window call another colleague (maybe his supervisor) and they discuss for long. The open the window again and told me my visa cannot be granted for now.
I ask him why, he said it's in the yellow form.

Please house what else can I do at the moment, I need advice

demmyfranc:

Please like how of fee can be high dat will make VO to raise eye brow.
Cos My aunt in USA wanna sponsor my MBA and the fee is around $26k (can dis be too high?)

Nutshell44:
Wow. You went to embassy without SOA. Like that’s even more important than your school certificate cos they hardly ever ask for it. You made the mistake there. Next time go with it. But I hope you know VIU is a one building school and it is partially accredited. I know this cos I have actually seen the school while visiting Virginia.
Goodluck

orimahspence:


Did you get admitted by the two other schools?

Brown2Green:


That school and Lincoln is a way out for agents.

Most I had conversation with have similar response and so with their transcripts..
'My cousin referred me to the school'

Like seriously?

The school is not as good as UI for God's sake!

Ekunsgreat:
lol all we need is favor and visa

Ifesinachi22:
Good afternoon everyone.

I recently sent an email to Minnesota State university Mankato, about my intent to apply. They replied that less than 10% of Nigerian applicants got their Visa after getting admitted.
They said they will not review my application if am not registered with EducationUsa and send proof of registration to them.

Please who has registered for this EducationaUsa?
How do i go about it? I searched the website but didn't get anything meaningful.

Am Considering three Schools.
1. Minnesota State University
2. Uta Valley University
3. Weber State University.

Maybe if time permits, I'll add
4. University of South Dakota.

Is any of this schools a red Flag?
Has anyone been admitted in any of them on this Forum before?

God bless you all.

Expects to hear from you.

Brown2Green:


Funny enough that's why the denial rate is over 99%.
You think the VO doesn't know?

Let me believe everyone that applied there were ignorant.

Even if you need a way out, don't make it look so obvious .

orimahspence:


Did you get admitted by the two other schools?

Ekunsgreat:
we know but that day I felt the vo wanna grant my visa but I didn’t talk very well ..my friend is there..I just need favor

Brown2Green:


I know right?

How many schools did you apply to?
How many admits?
Why this school?

The questions is to check how thorough you were in your research and decision.

You need extra research and grace to ace an interview with red flagged schools.

All the best.

TALE OF AN APPROVED VISA
Written by Miss Sharwama
I remember my heart pounding as I had my bath at 4:30 a.m. yesterday. I was so afraid, I couldn’t even sponge properly. I kept asking myself, “Sharwama after all the noise you have been making on NL, what if you get denied?” “What if you stutter and can’t make eye contact with the VO”… As I applied cream on my chocolate skin, I remember hearing a very gentle voice “Sharwama be still and know that I am God, I have gone ahead of you to make the crooked places straight”. This really gave me courage.
My uncle drove me to the embassy; my interview was at 6:30 a.m. and I got there right on time. I followed all the processes and protocol kini and then I came face-to-face with the visa officer. I paid no attention to the window number. I said a mental prayer “Father, the hour has come, glorify your daughter” and the Lord spoke to me “Sharwama, I have glorified you before and I will do it again”.

VO: Good morning and how are you?
Sharwama: Good morning. I am not sure how I feel; I have butterflies in my stomach.
VO: (Smiles) I understand how you feel, this won’t take much time. Pass me your I-20, passport and SEVIS receipt (I did)
VO: Why do you need this visa?
Sharwama: I want to pursue a masters in Biology Program at East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee. I can’t do that if my visa isn’t approved.
VO: I see here that your sponsor is your mother but you also have a graduate assistantship, I am impressed!
Sharwama: I am glad you are.
VO: I will be approving your visa (hands me the white paper with circled location. Gave me back my I-20 and SEVIS receipt. Said the whole tyonteugdfvcvnm,jklpewszxcvbnmi but I didn’t hear anything. When she was done talking, I was still staring at her. The next person was already behind me)
VO: You can leave now
Sharwama: Is that all? You didn’t ask why I chose ETSU, the schools I applied to, what I have been doing since, you didn’t ask my study plan or even what this degree would do for me or my plans after completion?
(She was about interrupting but I burst into tears)
Sharwarma: Do you know how much the bank charged my sponsor in order to print statements of her multiple accounts? Or the stress it took to colour-print my GRE and TOEFL scores? I nearly had an accident you know. So what would I do with these papers now? Maybe you don’t know this, but I spent the last three months of my life, waking up in the middle of the night to rehearse for this interview and all you did was ask THREE questions? Would you please interview me again?
Her mouth was wide open, her eyes were all out of the socket, and she was in utter shock! Next, a security officer approached me. I knew he would show me out. As he led me, I tightly held on to the white paper and my documents. For some reason, I turned to the VO and saw her smiling at me. I wiped my tears and smiled back. Right there in that moment, I knew she would go to bed with memories of a crazy girl who had her F1 visa approved effortlessly and just couldn’t believe it.
Yes, I remember tasting something in my mouth, kinda tasted like Ribena and I kept licking my mouth till I opened my eyes and saw Martins, my little nephew with Ribena in his hands. It was 7:30 a.m.; I jumped out of bed, knowing I would be late for work. I hurriedly had my bath, brushed my teeth, there was no time for the normal early morning pooing. I ran out of the house, stopped Keke and entered. As he drove me, I couldn’t help but smile. Although, I knew my boss would query me for coming late, I was grateful because my beautiful dream was worth it…

Ekunsgreat:

samdgreat2011:


Wow. Just reading this. I've been in the village for since yesterday for an outreach.

My God! I felt like screaming reading this.

sharwama:
Awww You are an inspiration my friend and I am humbled

LagosismyHome:


Saying those 3 schools will most likely work against you so it would have been better not to lie.

Vo: how many school did you apply to
Me :3 Kansas State University,Texas State University ,Lincoln University

Although the Vo didnt ask which school gave you admission. These other two schools are miles better than Lincoln so VO would have spotted a lie if you say your rather go to Lincoln that the other two

Suspect33:
Hello miss, concerning schooling in the states, can one stay back and work after they're done with their masters?

adurajoseph:
Hello everyone, Please I would appreciate your opinions on my query.

I plan on doing my master’s in data science in America next year and I need some advice on schools or advice in general.

I have not been so good at school as I came out with a second class lower in economics, I have some passion for programming as I am self-taught in python and JavaScript which is why I looked towards data science majorly because of the machine learning and some attractive things that are taught with the program that I am personally interested in.

I also do not have a lot of working experience, after graduation, I have just done my NYSC which I am about to conclude in July.
Please, I would need some advice on some schools to look at, what I should have before applying and the rest. Please be brutally honest with your replies.

cc sheke01, bracelum, BigFrancis21, shayhune, lagosismyhome, fairheart, and any other person that has insides into this. Thank you.
