I have missed a lot....

Yes, it is absolutely normal.

Femi, you misread the guys message. He was actually talking about the Gre thread and not the USA student visa thread. The Gre thread is only one part and not part 1-14 as both of you think.

No I didn't. 'You can then begin to read THIS thread'..'this' is referring to this particular thread except maybe I need to go get my tuition back from my English teacher

Hey Guys,

I just used the WES unofficial iGPA calculator to convert my GPA to a 4 point scale and it came in at 3.71. For me, it seems quite bogus and I'm having second thoughts about putting this on my resume. What if the admission committee to the school i'm applying to come up with something different (lower). It'll look misleading no?

What is ur CGPA on a 5.0 scale??

So guys, I'm in the US.
Here's my experience:
Booked Royal Air Maroc from Lagos. Flight was for 6:05am 13th August. Arrived Casablanca at 10.30am. RAM delayed my flight twice. Waited for 28hrs in Casablanca Morocco before finally leaving for New York. Left Casablanca at 3pm on the 14th.
....my stay in Casablanca...Lovely staff, ready to help even though it's hard to communicate as they don't speak English. Just a handful of them do. But BAD food. I was lucky to get a good spot at the lounge....nice beds though. I was told that the hotel rooms got filled up pretty fast.
Arrived JFK at 6pm. Didn't get off the plane till about 6:30. The border control officer only did my biometrics and asked where I was heading to, course of study, if it was my first time in the US and if I had any foods or drinks. I reached out to get my documents asking if he wanted to see any and he said not to bother, he trusts me. Baggage claim took more than 40mins before I could get my bags.
Met with my school staff waiting to welcome and receive international students. It was pretty late already... 8pm US time. There was a shuttle provided to get to school. I've kinda settled in but I need to complete my sleep.

Hello everyone,

You are looking for GA in Structural Engineering but you don't want to write GRE. Wonderful. This is close to being a futile effort.

4.51

Below is my final transcript (Abuja)

Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning
Vo: can I have your i20 and passport
Me: passed it
Vo: I can see that you're going to UL
Me: yes please
Vo: when did you graduate first degree
Me: year 2011
Vo:what have you been doing since then
Me: I went for the compulsory NYSC from nov 2011 to oct 2012, I Stated working with abc bank from apr 2013 to Jan 2018, then I joined bdc bank in feb 2018 till now
Vo: so what will you do after this degree
Me: I intend to come back to nigeria to work for 2 years after which I will start my own ict consulting company, did you know that online transactions in nigeria actually hit 86 trillion naira last year? Yes, it did and Q1 2018 is already at 36 trillion naira. This is a good sphere to play in and there are more challenges that needs solutions ( I mumbled jumbled a bit here)
Vo: how much do you earn?
Me: about 314k monthly
Vo: how did you choose this school
Me: it was recommended by a colleague of mine who also did his masters there, I researched the school for areas of interest and I matched with Dr. MT, I mailed him and he requested for my cv and test scores, he was impressed and recommended me to the grad cord Dr. AM who then advised me to apply. I did and I was granted the admission
Vo: you said you wrote GRE
Me:yes, I did
Vo: what's your score
Me:314
Vo: what of TOEFL
Me:99
Vo: how do you intend to fund this degree
Me: I was granted a fellowship of 14k+ and I have been saving for 5 years and I have 11k making a total of 25k both of them covers for my tuition while my uncle who is also my mentor will cover for the monthly expenses
Vo: do you have documents to that effect
Me: (passed fellowship offer letter and both banks statements mine and uncle,fixed deposit and treasury bill certificate of my uncle) I explained further while she was checking it: my uncle actually placed the money in fixed deposit until I'm ready so as to generate more interest, my investment is on call deposit which I liquidated before coming here(the money came in 2 days ago and I know she will definitely notice, it was a genuine call deposit investment)

After perusing the documents and typing

Vo: I will hold on to this document for confirmation, if found false you and your uncle would be banned for 10 years, do you still want to submit it
Me: yes definitely
( she returned my i20 and folded banks details into my passport and placed it aside)
(Me don dey korinsinu--oluwa ese, na so devil rear head)
Vo: wait, you've been denied in Lagos before?
Me: yes, I was denied last year
Vo: what was the reason
Me:I wasn't given a reason but I was actually advised to reapply.(I had already started stammering. I wanted to say because I didn't give enough reason for ties but smth just gum my mouth)
Vo: typed very fast and gave me white copy and said the remaining pick up stuffs
Me: thank you so much.

Well, above is actually my sixth attempt, 5 in Lagos denied 1 in Abuja approved.

Don't give up, give it one more push. God is never late, if you know you know

My sneakers had no lace, forgot it in Lagos

Wore only a round neck and chinos

My hair and mustache was unkempt, didn't bother to cut it

Forgot my shakomended glasses in Lagos

My point: by all standard it was just God

God sometimes breaks protocols for our sake! Now THAT Abuja consular has been shut down. God wanted you to have it and even travel before then. Congrats!!! Joining you soon by His grace.

Chaii.. Part14..

Hello all, for does that are familiar with the application form for st cloud State university. Is it mandatory for me to upload my statement of account and that of my sponsor before the submission of the application? I await your swift response to prospective SCSU. Thanks

Please do any one previously refused have to wait for 2 months as that's the option I'm always presented with having paid another visa fee to reapply?

Or is there any way around this. I have been on this for a week now, even if I sometimes see earlier date I can pick, once I choose previously refused, the date changes to a very far one.

It's also explicitly stated that "you MAY be denied for false misrepresentation" if you choose regular instead of previously refused.

Please will appreciate any help so as to know if the only viable option is to defer. I know some other people will be having this same problem too.


No that 6 month rule doesn't exist or rather it existed for a short time frame. No longer exist [/quote]

Oegbeyem1:
the 6 month rule is for expedited appointment and it still exists. You cannot make an expedited/emergency appointment within 6 months of denial, you can make a normal appointment

will you keep shut, bushman.

You don't talk to people this way. Especially one who you can learn a lot from. Time2Smile is one of the most respected members on this thread.
Even though this is a faceless forum, you should learn to behave.

No not mandatory.

Provide he/she details here for the benefit of others. I just wonder why he/she should contact you privately.

Beware!

Olalekank:

Good
Send me a message. Number at my.signature

Becareful man, don't be too gullible and start sending message or calling people on the thread. First take your time and read last 3 part then you should have foresight about what it entails and you can ask any specific question on the thread... I am sure a lot of people will be willing to guide or help you.

All the best

samuelobazu:
share me your WhatsApp number

Go ahead and be successful in abuja. I think the closure is for the department that deals with the citizen of America in the Abuja consulate. Do more of your findings though

sospunky:
Good day all....
