My Little advice,
dont be too over concious, u might just find yourself blabbing.
dont keep your confidence till the interview proper, let it start with the first person that attend to you from the window cos who knows approval might start from the first widow-to finger print window- and the interview proper, they are all potential VOs.
Also please PRAY, PRAY and PRAY. i fasted for this and prayed, pls pray. My Course was just a 7-months certification program.
My story too long i guess....OK. I go sharap here.
Thanks to all the gurus.....your effort to potential applicant successful interview is much appreciated

congratulations bro

LagosismyHome:


have u checked Mafit. ....a centre that registers for toefl in naija. someone posted here that they registered there for 50k naira

45k ma, and they're really OK.

Hello guys, I'm here again to share some of my experiences here and most of them were also learned from others mistake.

1. DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT ask someone in this USA to help you get admission or to take you through procuring your F1 Student visa. Reason been that most of the Naija guys here are really not seeing money, as a result, they exploit their fellow Naija brothers and sisters in Nigeria pretending to help them. A friend of mine who landed here is crying bitterly, because his classmate who is currently in USA now helped him get admission, etc, but before he procured this victims admission, the victim payed him close to $2000 (the money was not sent in a whole but was totaled after calculated different fees he came up with which could hinder his victim's admission). There is more, the victim was supposed to study in Maryland, but as a result of the expensive tuition, the guy asked his victim to move down to the state where he is at, that he would help him transfer his admission. After all said and done, the guy requested more money in order to help my friend transfer his admission to another school (note: my friend in question has no means of getting money, in fact his father had to send all the money he realized when he sold his land to this same guy). As a result of not identifying with the international student office in Maryland when he arrived, the school in Maryland terminated his I-20 hence making him to fall out of status. At the time when this was happening, my friend was already living with him. Suddenly the guy started requesting tenant fees from him and later chased him out of his house (remember that this was his classmate and even one of his best friends at school back then). However, through the Grace of God, he is now reinstated and applied to another school who helped to get the school in Maryland to revoke their termination of his I-20. Now he has a new I-20, has his SSN and is working part time.

This is a very TRUE story and I wish we could all learn from it. Unless you have someone you can trust like a related family member or a very trustworthy friend.

2. If you are intending to settle in this country after studies (Work or Marry), better be prepared to work on your grades (if you wanna work and get a company to file for you), try to be careful with your relationship with any woman here. Always think of what you want out of a relationship and be genuine, DO NOT go through the ARRANGEMENT means (it have really messed a lot Naija guys up). However, if you think after you guys must have dated for a long time, that you are ready to commit yourself into Marriage, then be ready to keep it. Marriage here na one thing, being Engaged is another (E no dey like naija where you can easily give it up). I am not writing this to scare you off, but also to let you know what it is on the long run, I have had a little experience though and I know what I am saying in essence. Do not jump into marriage for the sole purpose of GC. (two things are involved if you divorce her: Alimony or Child support, most a times both and if start paying for it...my dear, you'll never finish) If an American woman or man tells you that she loves you, Guy go heaven come down S/HE DOES (she no go hide anything from you, not even her fart , although most of them do).

3. A part from applying for Jobs on-campus, try looking for little jobs during the winter like shoveling snows which pays in cash. in fact you can make not less than $10 to $15 per hour of snow shoveling. I presently sing for a Catholic church here and they pay me in cash without my SSN.

4. Always seek for advises from people, most esp. Nigerians here (whether they give you bad or good advice, you'll decide on which one to make up your mind for, at least it gives you an option!).

5. The rate wey some "companies" or "scammers" will call you either for a tax refund payment or any type of unknown-won money is indisputable, always try to listen and allow the caller to talk first and see what he or she is calling for (I mean for numbers you did not save on your phone).

6. Car for America no be big man show, I can even see people riding 1978 cars and still have a good paying job. So do not look at some Nigerians that pose on facebook with their newly bought cars as them "making it". My dear, if they tell you rate of insurance they pay for it every month, you'll decide to ride a bicycle to school every day. My point is, settle down first and take everything one step at a time. Always make each step a calculated movement. A goal without a plan is like a wish.

7. Pray. Pray. Pray. (Whether you be Muslim or Christian). It is a pity that most of us here only pray when they are in hardship, but imagine if we always prayed everyday, even if we mistakenly entered into trouble, God will surely find a way (I'm using the above story of my friend as a case scenario, nothing is impossible for God to do, NOTHING GOOD).

That is it for now...I wish those scheduled for December interview a huge success! I wish y'all a wonderful Christmas.

$100 available at #450.
Pls let me know if you need it for sevis or application.
I can make it 110 to round it up in Naira.

ORGANIST10:
Good afternoon guys. I was at Gtbank this afternoon and i asked about their Visa card and the man that attended to me said no visa card, also asked if i can use my master card in the US to receive money in dollars and the man said for now CBN has cancelled Visa card and Master Card to be used in the U.S except if i have a domiciliary account here in Nigeria and the card, thats d only way i'll be able to get money from Nigeria. Should i just open a domiciliary account with them?

Try and settle anything related to money or medium to receive money before coming. Trust me you don't want to be stranded here. Schools here drop you from classes after the first day of school if you didnt make any payment.

And also let gtb know that you want to be able to do internet banking in case someone wants to sell you dollars whenever you come here.
