Malone122: Starts with Google. You must learn the skill of using available tool for personal research while you're still in Nigeria. Use the following search string for the schools you want: 1. Affordable Universities and Colleges in the U.S for Computer Science 2. U.S Universities with Scholarship for computer Science 3. U.S schools without SAT for computer science. The more creative you are, the better and faster for result. Make sure you select the schools you want based on your academic profile and sponsor's financial budget. All the best! 2 Likes |

Choicexx:Item 1 can be proved by your choice of words during the interview. Although the VOs are not predictable, as sometimes they can use your composure to assess your credibility for the visa. Yet, how you talk about your professional goal, such as what you plan to do after graduation, can be used to prove you have strong home times. I have seen applicants whose entire family are in the U.S and she was still given the visa with her babe, on first appearance. I have to say that what you say and how you say it during the interview matters a lot. You will be assessed by your words first, then your academic profile, such as school, cost of attendance, sponsorship and other things. I advise you to work carefully on your response to potential interview questions. What is your plan after graduation? How does this course you pick related to this? How will the knowledge help you build this career plan? From experience, 90% of applicants who took their time to detail answers to these questions are found credible and approved, most times first and second appearance (of course, academic profile as mentioned above add weight to chances of approval as well). All the best! Except you need personalized assistance, ask other questions you may have on this thread. 18 Likes 5 Shares |

Istanbul8819: Okay, without mincing words, I would strongly advise you retake the GRE to stand a better chance of been funded. Mechanical engineering is very competitive and your GRE is low, most especially your quant score. So consider reshooting your GRE to at least Q160 and you would be fine. 1 Like |

Kharleed:Thanks for answering. They both waived GRE for me and only one required English test, which I don't have. But they later asked me to submit like that. I could not go through the reference letters, i declined to see it. They don't require essays. Although, I have told them to tell me why I was rejected. I have applied again to same universities and chose other programs but I am not satisfied until I get to know the reason for my rejection. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Good Morning Great People, I would like everyone to help me go over my proposed transcript as i prepare for my interview Masters: Business Administration School: Lincoln University Oaklanf carlifonia Note: Kindly help me go through and pin point errors, correction. And also this might be little long. VO- Good morning Me- Good morning sir, how was your night VO- why are you going to the US? Me- I am going to the US for my master's in business Admistration at Lincon University oakland California. VO- How many universities did you apply to? Me - 3 universities, which are Lincoln University Oakland California, Bridgeport university connecticut, and Valpariaso University Indiana. VO- How many gave yoy an admission? Me - Lincoln University and Bridgeport university. VO - Why Lincoln University? Me - I carried out an extensive research using the graduate research site, Us news and Lincoln University was one of the schools that interest me, because of an ongoing research on trade policy by proffessor Anokhin, titles how trade policy can support poverty reduction and economic growth in developing nation with a case study on African and Asian Economy.However the lincoln university also offered me an admission into business administration with a minor in international business and about 40% of the courses involved are economics. VO- what is the research about? Me- basically the research is about how rapid and sustained growth can reduce poverty in developing countries just as the case of Nigeria. A typical estimate carried out across cross countries shows that a 10% increase in countries average income will reduce pocerty by 20 to 30%. VO- Why not economics course Me- Well the international business course gives room for flexibility and has the comibination of both business and Economics courses. VO- what will international Business do for you? Me- Firstly, a course in international business will help me posses a degree as an economist Analyst. And it will also increase my chances of joing the central bank of nigeria under the department of strategic management.it will also help me have a career path as a consultant after i must have gather the needed experience so as to be consulting for the state government, federal govt on economic related issues. VO- who is sponsoring you? Me- My mom VO- what does your mom do? Me- my mom is a business woman. Who deals in buying and selling of fabrics as a wholesaler, she has quite numbers of stores at Lagos Island and also in the area of sagamu where she resides. VO'- Are you married? Me - No i am not, but i am engaged with my fiance here in Nigeria and we should be getting married when i return after the completion of my program. VO- Have you ever travelled out Nigeria Me- No i have not have a reason too. All Guru's in the house,here is my proposed transcript, please help figure out every area of correction and do as many critics as possible. Thanks in anticipation as you take out your time to do this. [quote author=omofolajomi post=98861039][/quote] |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by omofolajomi: 12:56pm On Feb 08, 2021 |
Thanks Boss Man, I really appreciate this derailed information provided. I will be dropping my proposed transript kindly help check it out, if you are free. Once again thanks [1quote author=Kharleed post=98821198] Personally, I believe there are only three things a VO needs an F-1 applicant to prove. 1. Strong Home Ties: This is a no-brainer. A Visa Officer needs to be assured that you will return to Nigeria and not be a burden after you graduate. Do you have family here? Do you have a wife/husband in Nigeria? Do you have kids? Are you currently working? Do you own a business? Is it your family/Spouse that is funding you? Do you have scholarship from a local company? Is it a government scholarship? At least, can you clearly articulate your plans after you graduate? Does the VO has a gut-feeling that you are genuine? Do you have history of past travel and returning to Nigeria as at when due? Do you have a research you are working on tied to Nigeria? Just answer any of these questions honestly in your mind. If you are planning to lie to the VO, don't trip: Be rest assured you are coming out of that cubicle with a rejection slip. 2. Proof of Studentship: The VO is trained to pick the wheat from the chaff, to separate genuine students from people who want to japa. (Sorry if you don't know the meaning of Japa ![]() 3. Funds: Who is paying for your trip to the US? People with scholarships/fellowships/assistantships/funding from first family (mother, father, siblings, spouse) usually have no problem with this point. But if someone else is funding you, I mean awon Uncle, Aunties, In-laws, companies gang, be ready to explain the motive. Someone cannot just part away with millions of naira just because they love you. Be ready to explain, what is your relationship with this entity? How long have you known each other? What is their motive for investing in you? Are you paying back? Is it a loan? If you got a partial funding, and another entity is covering the rest, you'd still explain. If you got tuition waiver, with no extra funding, you need to explain solidly how you plan to survive in the US. If you have kids going with you, what is your educational plan for them? What is your medical plan? You must have sorted accommodation for at least a semester. You cannot be saying. You are not sure/act like you have not really prepared. So what's your plan? In essence, be honest and be prepared. The VO must have rejected you earlier for not meeting one of those requirements. The embassy/consulate HAVE YOUR RECORDS and also access to DO A BACKGROUND CHECK on you. So with these few points of mine, Be it as it may, if God wants you to be in US, and you have worked diligently and honestly, and you have nothing to hide, your visa WILL be approved. The God factor is the most important factor. As the maxim goes: work like you have not prayed, PRAY like you have not worked, because in essence, it is not by your hard-work. Whew! That was an epistle. My bad. I was a beneficiary of this thread (Part 15) and I look for opportunities to pay it forward. It's been a month in the US now and I must say, life is really good here. Back to my studies, Aluta Continua! PS: Don't look for my moniker, I'm on ghostmode ![]() 4 Likes |
