Hello People!

Please can someone suggest how I can get a cosigner for a student loan? I mean is there someone I can pay to act as a cosigner?
I don't have anyone who's a US citizen or permanent resident.

Even US citizens or PR usually dont agree to this except in extremely close relationships ie family members. It is almost impossible to see a stranger that will agree.

If the duration of ur program is more than a year...one way tickets will be fine
solihp:


Yes, he can buy a one way ticket, it won't be an issue. Students are allowed to do so
Predstan:

No it's not a problem. Buy one way ticket

Thank you guys, we finally got one for him via Delta Air for about 900k plus. I will share the transcript/testimony and my general opinion about this USA visa later today.

Okay, I take it by safe you mean other universities in the US?
Yes
Safe school means schools that are low in ranking comparing to ur academic profile

Yes they require TOEFL

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Someone said earlier that it is waived for Nigerians, Please how sure are you about this information?

Delaware is becoming confusing for me, on my application checklist, I am seeing that TOEFL had been waived. But I just got a mail from my grad coordinator that they need TOEFL. I'm confused.

What can I do?

2) What test is required for me course ?

I am not sure why you stated the bold. At the end of the day this is an interview and you should also try to sell your self best ....So many applicants daily so a VO needs to make sure they give the better of all the applicants. For a student , aiming to show that i wont drop out of status due to poor academic , not sure why you would say you are afraid of GRE .

Some times over-familiarity isn't the best.

What happened to giving your answers and getting your visa?

All these chit-chats are most definitely not necessary.

Good luck when you apply again.
