. Why would you wanna give yourself unnecessary "headache" . Fly directly to that your school so you don't have issues at POE, then travel to anywhere you want once you get in .

This is a good advice especially for him whose program is not up to a year. He could set off suspicion

Hello brother, I just got to see your post. I see bosses passed comments already. Just wanna chip in this: While it's nice to do what you are passionate about, it's important to be strategic about it to avoid being questioned at the consulate. IMO, apply to different schools for both majors, come to the US on ChemEng, and thereafter get a transfer. Transfers are usually easy (I once did), but then, a few schools would insist that you spend time with them. Check out the policies of your choice schools. Best wishes.

deWav:
Please, i need your constructive advice.

I'm a tech savvy guy, never been tutored but somehow catch up on tech. I intend changing to computer science from chemical engineering(fantastic field, but feel like conquering another) for masters.

Here is the thing; considering both fields are dissimilar, is that a red flag for the VO?

GPA:3.01/4.00 (WES unofficial)
GRE: In a couple of days
TOEFL: Next Month

I have been discouraged from changing field on grounds on visa & funding.

Schools I've contacted about MS in Computer Science(no specialization yet).
University of Texas—​Austin
University of Massachusetts—​Amherst
Brigham Young University, Provo, UT
University of Houston

UH seem to have the better option. Here is an extract from the mail with the CS grad cord (she was so blunt).



Every School i have contacted seem to be directly or indirectly hinting at have the pre-requisites down first before consideration.
So if i manage to secure admission directly without these pre-requisites i could end up having my 1st year solely on pre-requites and foundation courses at full cost as no one is will to fund someone still testing the waters.

Someone advised I secure an admit in chemical Engineering solely for the VO, when i get there I request for transfer of my I-20 to a CC to obtain these pre-requisites. After which I could have more options shooting for top schools and possible secure some level of assistantship, as a year in the school system will expose me to more ways to secure funding.
I'm skeptical of plying this route due to stories for the school insisting on having a semester with them before transferring of out-rightly terminating the I-20.

How will you advise i go about it?

You presented your old passport when you should have shown the valid one. However, what matters is the pin on that GTBank receipt. That's what enables you to book an appointment. You are fine.

beautysky:

Boss, and other seniors on this thread I beg your advice would be appreciated... there was an error on my gtbank receipt print out, my old passport number was reflected on the receipt.... I have not registered for appointment yet......Have you any experience on how to go about such circumstance please?

Vo why biomedical engineering

Me Nigeria needs this branch of knowledge because recent research has revealed that one out of ten women in the world is likely to develop cancer and one out of ten men would suffer from prostate cancer. Perhaps, if we had the human capacity and medical facilities in this field of study the likes broadcaster, Yinka Craig, popular musician Sonny Okosuns; award-winning football coach Laid Tela and the unforgettable human rights activist, Gani Fawenhimi all of blessed memory and several other unsung victims of cancer would still be counted amongst us. that is only one out of the many challenges confronting the development of the health sector in nigeria which I plan of working on when I return back to nigeria .....

You did not answer the "questions rightly"
because you have been refused twice.
There must be some fundamental error in your submission.

Tell us the exact reason for refusal given on the papers that you received from the VO.
Was it 214b or something else?
Yes 214(b)

Nice. I think I will check out Geico. I was thinking Esurance is the cheapest. I am on comprehensive for $98/month. The car is a AWD V6 2008 Lexus IS 250 sedan car. It's kind of a luxury car. The insurance payment depresses me monthly. Hope I cut a better deal with these tips.
. Try state farm.. I drive a 2011 Nissan Altima and insurance is cheap 82$.. They give a good discount for student with a good cgpa. The believe student with a good result is definitely gonna be a good driver .

while it is very possible....some schools are funny and do ask for a deposit or for you to spend a semester first or some other funny rules...although a lot of school do not so its best to confirm what exactly is that school policy for transfer of Sevis

Thanks for this. Will it be proper asking the grad cord even before submitting one's application?
