I wonder why that VO behaves that way. A friend that went for her interview last week at Abuja said he was just dishing out the Blue denial slip like souvenirs. He only considers applicants with good travel history, or full funding. Its really not fair tbh. cry
The lady in front of me started walking away (literarily walking into the emergency exit) when she saw she'd be passed to the white guy. He still drills fully funded and people with good travel history and you might've to spend a longer time on administrative processing if you interview with him.

Status: Approved
Location: Abuja
COA: $39000+
Funding: Full ride(Including health insurance and very good stipend)
Deficit: Nil
GRE: Yes
TOEFL: R26S26L24W30 (Thanks to the nairalander that helped with the part payment)
Appreciation: A big thanks to God and to every nairalander who dropped their transcript here at one point or the other. Your contribution really helped. Sir Walspring even went extra mile to register me (around 12am) for TOEFL even before sending him my part. He also helped out with my SEVIS. I'm really grateful.

Schools that offer full funding (I'm only sure about Pharmaceutical Sciences)
Purdue University, Indiana
West Virginia University
University of Mississippi
University of Minnesota
University of Rhode Island
University of South Carolina.

Transcript

Vo - guy on white shirt

Vo: pass your documents
Me: I did
Vo: what do you currently do?
Me: I work as a Pharmacist at xxxxx
Vo: (goes through my I-20 for some seconds)
Vo: When did you start working at your current work place
Me: March 1st, 20**
Vo: (looks straight into my eyes) what were you doing prior to this current job?
Me: I did my mandatory internship prior
Vo: what's your qualification?
Me: Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Ibadan.
Vo: Do you have any relative in the US?
Me: do you mean immediate relative?
Vo:Yeah
Me: No, I don't.
Vo: how did you get to know about this program/school?
Me: I came across this school while going through some journals during my undergraduate research project and went further to research about the faculty with research interest in pharmacogenomics, where I'll be working on studying the link between our individual genetic makeup and the way we respond to medication
Vo: (He was nodding all through and reaches out for the white paper) I'll be approving your Visa... Blah blah blah... Transit through some countries blah blah...

The truth about transcript is that it doesn't convey emotions... I was kinda scared but tried to maintain eye contact.

Success to Fall 2022 applicants!...

Hi. Congratulations.

I've applied since 13th July and I've not gotten any response.

Did you call them? If yes, please can you share the number you called. Thanks and good luck with your interview.
I didn't put any call through. I sent an heartfelt message explaining my case on Sunday. I also supported my story with the necessary documents. I was admitted for Fall 2020 but deferred to this fall, so my case is kinda different.

Emergency visa Approved Finally!!!!
Hello Vahn,
Congratulations on your ER approval. Please, I'm trying to check if this approval thing is based on resumption date or the time of application. Is 16th your earliest admission date or program start date? (If your earliest admission date is 16th, then your start date should be in Sept, right?)


I applied for ER at Abuja on July 15th too(though, very late into the night) and I'm yet to get any response...(My start date is in September though)...

#Cheers

Hello everyone,

I applied for emergency visa appointment on 13th July but I have not gotten any response about the approval or denial of the request . The reply from the email I send to support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com is same as what several people have received here. I considered calling this line (234)-9-461-4000 but it was not going through. I am supposed to resume a GA position and doctoral degree on 23rd August. Can anyone advice me on what to do or I should just keep waiting for their response?

Regards.
I placed a call through to the Abuja embassy yesterday and I was given a special number to call, since my complaint was about an emergency request for a NIV.

The guy at the other end crosschecked my profile and said my ER was still under review. I even told him about the urgency of my request, noting that I've to be present soon for GA duties and on the job training and can't defer any longer after deferring from Fall 2020. He said there's nothing that can be done and that I'll receive an email once it's approved or denied. Persuaded him with everything possible, yet he stood his ground.

The only thing left is just to keep waiting. There was no approval throughout last week due to the holidays(if I'm not wrong). They've probably started attending to emergency requests since yesterday. I saw November 2021 dates later yesternight.

Cheers

Your GP multiply by 4 then divide the answer by 5.

Y * 4/5

Where Y is your GP.


Actually, that's not the right way. You'll get the wrong value using that method.
You should just login to wes.org and use the free calculator to get the right estimate.

Hi guys, this is urgent!!! On red alert.

For long time/years now, I've been battling with this skin disease and it just became worst like 3months ago, with some serious middle chest pain. honestly, I gave up on this skin, especially my chest, neck and back region. And I'm all about chasing money.

But recently, my new girlfriend of 1month plus, saw my chest and back after our nsorinso and has declared "No more knacking", until the skin clears. That she can not even wear my clothes, if she's sleeping over, and I might transfer the skin thing to her.

Brethren poop! The pictures of my skin, drug and creams I use is there oo..i

.. If you have any natural remedy, pls prescribe 4me,im tired of the oyibo concoction..
Did I mention I have romatism? The seasonal skin scratching don tire me abeg.

Gracias
HEALTH
Stop using triple action creams or creams that contains corticosteroids, e.g Betamethasone, Dexamethasone, etc. Prolong use has a negative suppressive effect on your immune system. Just focus on plain antifungal creams alone, e.g ketoconazole creams.

In addition, you should take 400mg of that ketoconazole tablet once daily for 3weeks.

Please, I'm interested in knowing if there is any school still open for fall 2021 intake, preferably those that can waive application fee. I have had 7 apps denied already.
Profile: GRE: 301
TOEFL: 91
GPA: 3.41 (WES)
Interested in Pharmacoeconomics and Health outcomes Research programs
Bachelor's degree is Pharmacy
Masters or PhD?? Which schools did you apply to?

Some don't consider GRE scores. They prefer you're grounded in basic statistical softwares (SAS, R), you may need to repackage your SOP too.

Pls does anyone have an idea if i can launch a start up Idea in the US as an F1 international student.
in other words,
i have a business idea i look forward in launching in the states, Is it illegal?
pls put me through thanks
You can start one but you would have to employ someone else to work on the idea... read through this thread https://www.quora.com/Can-I-start-a-company-if-Im-in-the-US-on-a-student-F1-visa and probably file for EB2 visa (National Interest Waiver category) and the Adjustment Of Status later on if your idea works out.

Hello Everyone,

Kindly report any form of advert by anyone posted on this group. The suspect might as well go ahead to create a new account.


Treat all adverts as potential scammer.
We need to go back to the sane era, where the thread served the purpose of motivation and enlightenment.

I almost fell for the same scam too and it's not funny.

Warm regards.
