Guys in Yankee that need extra cash and have a valid US Drivers license and SSN, sign up for Amazon Flex, a minimum of $1800 a month is guaranteed.

Just google Amazon flex and sign up.

Bro, if you yourself haven’t signed up for that thing, please don’t try it. And if you have done it, well you are officially f&*ked! I’ll tell you what you don’t know.
Well I hope you are still in college and haven’t dropped out of status yet.
That amazon side gig will reflect on your SSN and someday when you want to neutralize to US residency, it will pop up in your record and how would you respond to that when asked “why did you violate the F1 rules while you were still a student?”
Whatever answer you give to that question is unforgivable and you would NEVER get the residency!

They don’t even forgive when it comes to that!

All the best bro

I disagree with you on this. People have gotten visas through loans on this thread. Someone had for Carnegie Mellon and another for MBA (I don't know the name of the school). Also, Indians take loans and still get visas.
grin grin ... didn't you hear Carnegie Mellon.. That's an example of super ranked ranked i mentioned in my first point, and any right thinking person would know that taking a loan for a high ranked major at a high ranked college globally is sensible.... If you take this loan story with a school like Morgan state university, Blue paper certification, straight away grin grin grin grin

You are right about taking loans to a top ranked school
But we have seen transcripts here of people who took student loans, talked about it in the interviews and got approvals. Someone for UConn (fysapop), Carnegie Mellon (ishow) and MBA (Ugoh11).

Search for them on nairaland and see their transcripts. They were all for Fall 2017. Thats one benefit of having transcripts here
So I checked the three names you have up there. I couldn't find the last person's transcript. 3 things stood out from the two I saw 1) They didn't take a loan from the US, one even got a partial scholarship which makes his loan less 2) They have substantial work experience in a good company, one even works with an international company and the other is a team lead 3) They are going to good schools. In summary, it will be hard for any international student to convince a VO with a US loan facility like Salie Mie and the rest. A sharp and wise student knows what to do from all these my earlier write up, but its not my mouth you will hear it.

Update: So I just saw that the first and third usernames got loan from prodigy finance with head office in UK with no cosigner which is different from the US loans facilities, so that explains why they could get there VISAs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prodigy_Finance.

Boss, stop beating around the bush and admit you were wrong there. The Sallie Mae you mentioned gives international students cosigner loans with the loan burden borne by their US citizen or PR cosigner. Someone here even took that kind of loan, told the VO and got approved. I just want to correct the notion that loan is a red flag. That is untrue. Maybe it will be true if you are taking huge loans for a one building school.

I remain your loyal boy

wrong? I am confused. I hate hearing 'someone' or 'they said', UNTIL you show me the 'someone' or one person that has taken US loan facilities, told VO and got VISA, I stand by what I said earlier.Have a good day.

A word for the wise.
Do NOT risk your future for an illegal job. You may regret such for the rest of your stay in the USA. Especially when you talk about SSN.
America is technology and your SSN will show that you intentionally violated your status.
I don't think you can defend that in the future when you are about to change your status.

I don't know what you mean by depending on the location.

The bottom line of my message is to notify my fellow F1 colleagues that they will eventually face difficulty if, I repeat if they utilize their SSN on securing an off-campus work without the written permission of the University... (whether it is Amazon Flex ooo or Amazon stable ooo) Illegal Job will always reflect on SSN and that is why it is called Social Security Number.
Automatically, this will put the person's future in jeopardy when the need arises for a change of status. Simply because the purpose of the SSN at that time was to work legally on campus only.

You have the potential but you came off as an ingenuine applicant because you started stuttering at the crucial time.

Work on your composure. I think I told you something like this after the first interview.

Compliments of the season bro. Been a while. To be Frank with you, I do not know what happened to me on that day. I really felt I had a great chance as I flowed well with the VO before I suddenly went blank from no where. I went home that day and cried myself sour as I relayed my experience to my brother and friend @Mayorboi.

I am yet to defer till FALL 2018 as I do not know how best to put my words together to notify the school I was denied a visa. This is because I don't know how to ask them if the tuition waiver and free campus housing they offered me can still be available by the Fall semester.

In addition to this, does being denied an F1 visa twice (November and December) in any way have a dent on my next chance of reapplying? Cos I intend reapplying for another interview by FALL?

I will appreciate responses from you baba, from @Twoods, @Lagosismyhome and any other person who has answers to my question.

Compliments of the season handsome and beautiful people...

1. Yes, you can change institution, as long as they issue you another I-20, and your SEVIS record is updated, and as long as it's reflected in your new Visa application. Otherwise, there may be issues at the POE.

2. Check the school website for the standardised test required, but for that course, it is likely GRE.

Some schools require an independent agency to do transcript evaluation, but most schools don't if your transcript is already in English. Again, check with your department/school.

If your school does not give transcript, they should be able to send it to the school directly (official, that is), at a cost.

That said, since you have not written the GRE at this time, I'm not sure you can still meet with Fall 2018, but it is possible.

Best wishes


This message isn't actually for me but there's a part of it I'm particularly interested in which is the Gre part. You said if he has not written gre at this time, he's not likely to meet up with fall entry. I think fall semester starts by August. Isn't there ample time between now and then? I am asking this cuz I'm also planning to start the whole visa processing from the beginning. I've not done anything sef aside from going through this group. Can't I also make fall 2018 either so I can focus on spring 2019? Thanks

You shot yourself in the foot. You claimed you were on study leave. But it wasn’t obvious that this was the case. Did you provide a genuine letter attesting to that? A letter that expressly states what you are going for, how long you’re expected to be away and a clear indication that your job will be available when you return. It should also state if you are going to be paid or not during your absence. This letter should be on your company letterhead and signed by a management official.

Also, if truly this is to enable you move up in your company, why are they not paying for it? It’s strange.

The problem is that when you reapply, you can’t deviate from this again. See the question in bold that the VO asked, you didn’t answer it at all or probably did not understand it.

I sometime wanted to ask this question too. Similarly, I had a study leave and a letter attesting to that from my bank. It was a leave without pay any way and they were not sponsoring me at all. My data rather was. (Though the VO didn't ask me this question).

My question now is, I was denied an F1 visa twice already (November and December) and I am not sure if my bank will issue me a study leave any longer. Please how best can I come out of this as I really wish to bag an MSc which would equip me with the skills to become a data analyst (especially in the area of Big Data) as I believe this would profit me much better in the long run here in Nigeria (whether my bank takes me back or not) as there is a lack of experts/ professionals in the field here.. I intend reapplying for FALL.

Compliments to everybody here in the group.

I've been an ardent reader and follower for close to 2 years now. I'm just planning to start applying to schools after getting my transcript by January and writing GRE by either late February or early March. Can I still fit in for August(fall 2018) admission after writing GRE and applying immediately after it or I should wait till spring 2019(February)?
I'm asking this cuz I read a comment not long ago when someone said a guy cannot meet up with fall2018 when he hasn't done GRE by now. How many months to the start of my intended course should I write GRE?

Waiting to start reading replies..

I know of someone exactly in your situation that was given a visa. start to process the loan application right away, if you're approved, take the approval document to the Embassy. If you go to the Embassy and say that you intend to fund your studies with loan and no document to show for it , it may be hard to believe.

I'm assuming that the person has not applied to any school. Before you apply, you need some time to prepare for the test. Let's say you take the test by March, many (good) schools would have reached deadlines for the Fall semester by then. So you may not likely meet up.

Nonetheless, if you are from India or maybe China grin, you can prepare for a short time and meet up with January or February deadlines, depending on the school. Do you get?

I share the same opinion.
There was a transcript here some weeks back of a lady who had her first degree(Bachelor of Arts) in English and literary studies I think.
She's was switching careers to Computer Science and going for another Bachelors and she gave her reasons to the Interviewing officer. Ofcourse, she got her visa approved.

This doesn't mean it's impossible to get your visa approved if it's still in the same career path, but like imperioux (one of the few people I regard so well on this forum said). You've got to have strong persuasion skills.

That lady is @Messibliss207. You can search her to see how she navigated her way to convince the VO. She studied English at first degree (B. A) and started working in the IT department thereby developing a passion for IT related courses that forced her to delve into pursuing a fresh B. Sc in IT so as to get an in depth knowledge of her new found love (IT). It's a clear and convincing scenario than one going to rigmarole in same field of study.
