I can’t wait to hear feedback on these online classes from Nigeria. America is kuku not running away. Even here, sometimes it’s difficult to have a good class experience because Webex or Zoom is being used by everybody; your internet isn’t even the problem; it’s their capacity. Not to discourage anyone; but if you can get funding from a school, they can also keep the funding for you until you’re able to attend, at the very least, know for sure that if one school thinks you’re good enough to be funded, more than a dozen school will fund you if you’d perform due diligence and apply to them. Y’all should really not forget to share your online experience with us. PS: If you think taking classes online increase your chances of getting a visa, you can’t be more wrong. They don’t care. 9 Likes |

It may have a slight effect . Because it means the person is already enrolled in the school? I felt they would have no choice but to issue the visa |

Perra: Not really, the V.O may decide to plot a twist and be like. "since you already started online from Nigeria and you have completed 1 out of 4 semesters, why not stay in Nigeria to complete it?, after all, your post study goal is to return back to Nigeria and work as a manager for ABC Company?" 5 Likes |

Just a small insight to the online classes issue. Incase you end up enrolling for online classes for fall. Please prepare a strong response to this new set of questions from the V.O. "since you have completed 1 out of 4 semesters online, why not stay in Nigeria to complete the rest and this will save you Alot of money on living expenses and at the same time, you can still keep your job in Nigeria". It is now left for you to prepare a solid and convincing response on why on campus class is best for you. Let me share my 2019 experience. After all the questioning, the V.O decided to throw me off balance by saying "I just checked your school, MBA is also offered 100% online, why do you want to go to the USA for it?" Thank God I have prepared for such question ahead after discovering that my school offers MBA online 100%. I responded by saying "I will like to be in the USA for MBA due to following reasons, 1. I will be exposed to practical business sessions like workshops, seminars, internships and trips which I can't get online. 2. Networking is one of the most essential aspect of business school. Been on campus will help me to establish network and connections with my follows and Alumni which transcend into strong business innovation and partnerships in the future. 3. I will be closer to my instructors for proper career modelling and advisorship which I may not fully get if I study online. Those were my saving grace before hearing the magic word ooooo. The bottom line, research more about your field and prepare strong and convincing reasons to why you have to continue on campus. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

If you enroll online this fall and your school is only offering in person classes for subsequent semesters, I believe this should up your chances of obtaining a Visa. I already deferred to spring 2021 though, as my classes are mixed and I had a deferment deadline to conform to. 2 Likes |

Sanguine1: That's not true. Hundreds or thousands of people are acquiring degree online in the UK and US all the way from Nigeria. There are also lots of 4G service providers in cities. I know of spectranet, smile and swift back then. I'm sure lots of new ones must have evolved. 2 Likes |

majiddele75:how? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Friedpotato: 1:34pm On Jul 10, 2020 |
librangyps:I also think it'll help too, this V.Os are humans too. Because it already covers a great part of the financial related questions they'd ask you. For you to complete a semester means you're a prospective student that would most likely stay in school and you already got your tuition covered. One just has to prepare a response to the online stuff like oga muleriders said. 2 Likes |

Friedpotato: Can I tell you that even if you dont receive classes everyday, you may have to use the internet everyday. From assignment to writing papers. I use over 80gb monthly on my phone, this includes instagram, twitter and other SM tho. I tried tracking the data I use on my PC and it was up to 150gb in a month, although, this includes personal development and LinkedIn Learning platform. Classes will not be the only thing you do with the internet. You must be ready to subscribe atleast a hundred GB in a month. Please carefully select your network provider according to your location. Do not go for the cheapest but the best. Weekly assignments and quizes contribute greatly to your final grade and 1 or 2 weeks can hurt your grade so badly. Remember, over 90 percent is A. My school's A grade starts from 94percent. 3 Likes |

greenskittles: I believe talking to your advisor is your best bet. He can push things for you if it is possible though. I had similar situation with Nebraska. My supervisor was willing to pay me but the school will not allow such. The option I have right now is to taking online courses( which is paid for by my supervisor) for the semester from Nigeria. 2 Likes |

iwriterng:please what do you mean by "it's their capacity" Plus not all schools defer funding. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Friedpotato: 7:50pm On Jul 10, 2020 |
Phenomenalopeye:check collegeboard. You'd need international passport to take the test. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by EncephalonPikin(m): 8:00pm On Jul 10, 2020 |
Phenomenalopeye: Let me try to answer some of your questions. You can get procedures for registration and possible dates for the test on www.collegeboard.com. I think you can also check for the cost there depending on the kind of SAT you want to write (either with or without essay). As for registering without an agency, I think it's only possible if you have someone outside the country to pay for you( I'm not sure about this, you can confirm). No, you cannot take the test without an international passport. You can buy the official college board study guide, Barron's SAT book, Kaplan's SAT book or whichever one might suit you. You can check www.pdfdrive.com to download these books for free. I'm pretty sure you'll find majority of them there and possibly others by different authors. I don't know which of them might be best for you but start with the official guide by College board, it kinda gives you a sense of how the test is. You can also register on Khan Academy to access free lessons, they'll help you greatly, I promise. I'm not in Lagos but I doubt if there's anything like a best Centre, yours is to write your test and leave. Ensure the venue is conducive for you though. Finally, ensure that SAT tests are still ongoing during this period before paying for anything. 2 Likes |

Unfortunately, that's the reality. You can't get paid unless you are in the US. My school offered to defer my admission and full scholarship for one year. Even though deferring is hard, I got no choice but to accept cos I'm getting tired of all the uncertainties. Let me use this one year to build my network further and earn more. ZionSpecie: 1 Like |
