Replied you.

Did u see my msg boss?

mcfarlin:


Thank you sir but my questions are innumerable right now...


Ok I think I will register for ielts then

My sponsor is based in chicago..

Please can you recommend any good schools in the chicago area?

Then how do I grade my o'level results?.

To be candid with you there are alot of good schools in Chicago but you will have to do the research for yourself and pick the best school in Chicago but don't forget that it might flag you as potential immigrant since your sponsor is in Chicago and you also heading to Chicago to school.

Use foreigncredits.com to calculate and grade your o'level. But A is 4, B and C4 is 3, C5 and C6 is 2, E8 and D7 is 1 and F is 0.

Good news and not soo good news. One granted while the other was "temporarily" denied......I believe the visa is his and he will claim it the next time.

I and one other NL member went for our visa interview this morning. Mine was granted.

Very short interview.

VO: Good morning sir.
ME: Good morning.

VO: What is your purpose of travel?
ME: Masters Degree in Computer Science.

Brief pause....

VO: How did you found out about the school?
ME: A recommendation from an alumni.

VO: Who will pay for your study?
ME: My dad.

VO: What does he do?
ME: Works with so and so.

The moment she set aside my passport and returned my other document, I knew God has done it.
She then utters those magical words, "Pick up your visa at this address on Monday'.

I turned around, smiled from ear to ear, punched the air and kept on wishing everyone on my way out goodluck, even the ones that were not there for any interview......security guards.

Nothing but God.

Thanks.

I've replied you now... It was someone i replied before and not you... Am sorry for the previous post..

How best can one contact WES please, my school has been done verifying my transcript since last week (confirmed) friday but my status hasnt changed from 'Waiting for verification from institution' yet.
I called their number many times, the voice prompt keeps holding for an agent that never shows up.
Thanks.

I'm in your shoes, you'd have to send an email from a contact-us link on the WES page and they'll respond within 2-3 working days. My contact in my school claims they've responded to the verification via email. Since last week monday the status has not changed. WES claims they havent received anything from my school, an old federal uni. I don tire. After paying my contact guy 12k to help me follow up with a mere email verification. Now I can't tell if i'm being lied to. fck this country men

Really don't want to name and shame let's just call it one of the federal unis up country. Took me about a year to get my transcript. Now, its anyones guess how long the WES verification would take. When wasting a year and half of your life to some senseless strikes was not enough, now this. This country na real dream killer.

Sorry for what u are passing through. Went through sth similar after paying 35k for transcript. Havent u thought about going to the school urself? Guess it would be better if you're there pushing things urself. Also, the American dream has a never say die spirit. So, never think of giving up!

Got to the embassy @ 6:30am, got screened and I saw an underG boy without experience. I began to interview him. He failed my questions and I wasn't too happy with him.
A black lady in window 1 denied all the 5 persons that went to her plus the guy I interviewed myself.
It was my turn to go to her and I said loudly that the guy beside me heard that, God, let the spirit of denial melt when I get to her. Who says God doesn't answer prayers? Check the interview below;

Me: Good Morning Ma
VO: You are Ajjjj .....,
ME: Corrected her as she was calling my name like an aboki
VO: Why are you going to the US?
ME: For a masters degree in safety management program
VO: why did you choose 'your school'?
ME: pardon (didn't hear her well)
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
ME: 5 schools, 3 in US, 1 in Canada, and 1 in Finland. I mentioned those schools to her
VO: Did any of them reject you?
ME: not really, just that I am yet to get a supervisor for one US school and the Canadian school
VO: Why choose your school?
ME: I choose my school because their curriculum aligns with my intended course of study
VO: How does the curriculum aligns with it?
ME: well, I have been in close relationship with my intended advisor, professor ***
VO: (cuts in) you went to the US to see him?
ME: NO, via mail and phone calls. So, I questioned him about the courses that would be taken when I get down and I was able to appreciate measurement and instrumentation as an aspect of my course
VO: when did you graduate?
ME: in 2010
VO: From where?
ME: Oba awon uni, here in Nigeria
VO: What have you been doing since you graduated?
ME: I have been working with AAA as an EEE Engineer
VO: What do you mean by EEE?
ME: I explained to her with the highest level of gesticulation
VO: You said you are going for Safety Management and your I-20 seems to have an issue because I can see here that it is an MBA that you will be majoring in?
ME: I saw that myself when I got the I-20 and I mailed the office of international service complaining to them. I have a copies of the correspondence with me here
VO: Let me see it
ME: handed over to her and she glanced like this guy too sharp for me to denie ooo
VO: how do you plan to fund your education?
ME: My elder sister will support me
VO: Why your elder sister?
ME: She has been supporting me since the demise of our father in the year 2002
VO: what does she do?
ME: she works with Total naija as a network admin
VO: what will you do when you come back to naija?
ME: I will work as a consultant to major industries especially the oil and gas firms. I can also work as a safety engineer or Manager
VO: Are you married?
ME: No
VO: Do you have friends in the US?
ME: No! The ones I have are done with their academics and are back here in Naija
VO: We will issue you a Visa
ME: I no hear anything again as I don break jinx for the rest.

Many Thanks to God. No document was asked except for the one I let her check. I took the GRE, TOEFL, and had a bag full of documents.

I also signalled at the guy beside me to confirm to him that I got the visa approved.

Forgot to add. I took a marwa which was overspeeding. It rammed into some blocks in front of a police station. I hit my legs badly. I picked my folder and check my pick up letter to be sure say dem no follow come from Village!. Let us all pray more.
