Sorry about the delay. Nothing to be ashamed about. We all make mistakes. You should have resechelduled the appointment and requested for a new 1-20. Anyway u still have time. Request for a new 1-20 and schedule another interview. All the best.

Thanks bro. The school replied my mail that they have stopped issuing 1-20, unless I want to defer till spring next yr

Hello good day all!
Please what documents are required for port of Entry via JFK airport New York.
I keep hearing things like Yellow card and Immunization card, how do I get all these cards ?
Is it compulsory to have some dollars, and if necessary, like how much is okay for a student?

God bless you all

If you are going with Ethiopia Airline, you may be required to provide the Yellow Card. Go to the Toll gate at the MMIA, the health center there will give you with may be 1k or 2k.

To follow the tradition of this great section on Nairaland, I will share my transcript with the hope that this might help someone someday.

Here we go, I arrived Walter Carrington at 5:50am as I have booked for the 6:30 window. With what I have heard from previous transcripts as per 'shunting' the queue, I just quickly used style to get to the front of the people gathered there since they have not lined up.

6:30 came and I was number 10 on the queue. No wahala. Prechecks done and I'm still number 10 on the line to see VO.

My time came and I was made to stand at Window 5, the second person to be interviewed by the very young and beautiful VO. She denied the first person after like 7 minutes. The Asian guy had denied 2 already and was drilling the 3rd guy. I was not even bothered. I kept looking at my Oxblood brogues and Pepper red trousers with one hand inside my suit jacket, forming lady killer. My time came eventually.

VO: Good morning
Me: (with the most sincere smile in the world as VO na fine white lady) Good morning, how are you doing?

VO: (She smiles back and my heart skipped a beat) Pass me your passport, Sevis receipt and I-20.
VO: What school are you going to?
Me: Tennessee Tech, Cookeville

VO: Where did you do your undergraduate
Me: OAU

VO: When?
Me: mentioned it

VO: What course did you study?
Me: Chemical Engineering

VO: What degree are you getting?
Me: Masters in Chemical engineering with a focus on renewable energy.

VO: Did you do any exams?
Yes: GRE and IELTS.

VO: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: Five

VO: what are your scores?
Me: told her.

VO: What will this degree do for you?
Me: (Took a deep breath because I was ready to download ) First of all, a masters degree in Chemical engineering is a requirement to take up a lecturing job at OAU where I intend to lecture upon graduation. (VO nods in agreement). Secondly, a masters degree in this school will expose me to research on Microbial Fuel Cell technology which is far better than Biomass Gasification which is what is the case where I currently work. Fuel cells are cleaner, bla bla bla.

VO: Where do you work?
Me: mentioned it. A renewable energy firm.

VO: What are your duties?
Me: ( something wey I put for my DS-160 by myself) I monitor key indicators like BOD, greenhouse gases, etc. I write technical report on this and that. I also conduct EIA on New projects.

VO pauses to ask colleague something. I don't know if it's about my case. But me no care, I didn't stop looking at her any point so she go know say I dey her case. She comes back after a minute.

VO: who is sponsoring you?
Me: my dad

VO: what does he do?
Me: mentioned it.

VO: Do you have a relative in the US?
Me: No.

VO: I'll be... (I couldnt hear anything)...3 days.

She brought out white paper from a pile nearby. I just smiled at her and left.


My advice:

1. Don't rush to answer questions. Calm down. When you are calm, you will be able to articulate your thoughts. Even though I'm naturally articulate, I took short pauses before answering. The interview is not as bad as many have painted it to be.

2. All these USnews and google stuff don cast. The chinese guy drilled someone on this. I think saying you found your schools in some professional journal is way better.

3. If your school fee is very high and the school is not Ivy League level, be prepared to defend it especially if you have no scholarship. Chinese guy also drilled someone on it. The guy was clueless.

4. Don't pay attention to people being denied when you enter that room. Face your front. You know why you are there.

5. Don't cram your answers. You may forget. Rehearsing your answers is what helps.

6. Believe in something. I believe in God, prayer, and preparation. I fasted and prayed for grace because I don't want shocking questions. Believing in God helped me to stay confident even though I was prepared.

7. Refer somebody here. I probably wouldn't have known how best to answer some questions if I had not found this room. I have read over 40 transcripts here.
God bless all of you here.


Congratulations to you, I hope you will find my transcript useful for you. Your success is around the corner. Cheers.

URGENT

My school wants to send my i20 and for them to my i20; they need Affidavit of support/Scholarship letter. Now they sent the Affidavit form for my sponsor to fill, in the form there a place they said "The University requires that this document be notarized (Affidavit form). Faxes of this document will be accepted."

Please, I need help how do I go about this Affidavit of support, I was hoping they will request bank statement, but they didn't, they asked for the affidavit of support.

You can get this done at any federal high court around and it should be less than 1k

Ivy League is a collegiate athletic conference comprising sports team from eight private unis in Northeastern u.s. The conference name is also commonly used to refer to those eight as a group beyond the sport context. The eight schools include Brown uni, Columbia uni, Cornell uni, Dartmouth college, Harvard uni, Princeton uni, Yale uni and Uni of Pennysylvania. The term Ivy League has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions and social elitism.
