Janet200: No course is useless but some would afford you more opportunities than others, tell yourself the truth. At the end of the day, your success or failure doesn’t affect me in any way. I can only offer my opinion(s), you’re completely at liberty to do whatever pleases you. By the way, on the contrary, I’m not discouraging anyone. The way I see it, I’m actually motivating whoever cares, to do things the right way, & take steps that would present them lots of opportunities. Of what use is getting your Master’s in something blue chips don’t care for, then you start looking for a job but can’t find one so you opt of a PhD or a second Master’s? If your life’s goal is to be in academics, fine. By all means study whatever you want. But if you hope for a career in a fortune 100, study something a fortune 100 would care for. 6 Likes |

sonofakin: Actually, once you acquire your Master’s degree, less weight is placed on your Nigerian Bachelor’s degree. Employers don’t really care for your Nigerian Bachelor’s based on experience. I’ve seen people who studied Food Tech, Biology, Sociology, Political Science, come to the US & graduate with MS degrees in Industrial Management, Management Information Systems, Data Science, Data Analytics, etc. Many of them now work for GE, Cummins, Apple, Microsoft & other fortune 500’s. Go to LinkedIn and search for yourself. Look for the right schools & research! Like I said, many won’t understand till they come here & see their mates getting internships and jobs left and right, & their only option is to opt for a PhD cos they can’t find jobs. 3 Likes |

Honestly don't know any excuse for not posting here earlier even though I was busy, visa approved last month February, undergraduate studies. I guess my punishment I gave to myself is to compile the whole of visa transcript from the previous thread part 14. So for the Undergraduates I know we have been following silently, but any questions be it evaluation, transcript, sevis, e.t.c I will gladly answer that's my way of giving back to this community. Never forget even if it's undergraduate degree you are going for still come prepared as that's what they expect from you. 7 Likes |

Good morning all. I once posted a question but no one help in answering it. I have went through couple of visa interview transcripts here but I realised most are for Master and PhD. May I have samples for B.sc. I would like to know if there are differences in the mode of interview. I will be more than glad if I can get some Bsc transcript. I'm preparing for my Visa interview and I want to be fully prepared as ignorance is a sin, I really dont want to be ignorant of any info that will aid my approval. Thank you. |

Peterjosh: Both undergraduate visa interview interview and post graduate follows the same interview pattern. Almost all that is asked a graduate student is asked undergraduate students. Just prepare well for your interview and prepare to answer similar questions to the ones you see here. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Legit215(m): 1:50pm On Mar 15, 2020 |
