dtabimbola: @ Yvete, imperiousxxx...
Thanks U all for ur encouraging words, indeed, visa denial is not d end of d world... No suicide mood ooo, just kinna joke, though it was a pathetic expetience anyway.
Pls can I stil get expedite date bfor Jan. 15th [sku resumption date] and are mine to use the same I-20 and other existing documents.. Or I should just take fate and patiently prepare for Summer or Fall next yr. Reality is what I need now.
@yvete... Dnt be to ashed or ascerbic on ur words, u dnt kn d circumstances behind individual post.
Thanks 4understding.

Try request for an emergency date and if all isn't working....God's time is the best my brother.

Snazzygirl: Thanks all ....more blessing IJN.

@S-beauty, I don't know much about HND so ...do u think ur HND certificate would have made u a competitive candidate for M.sc?
If not, then that's ur answer. Just tell d V.O, u spoke with some admission officers and u were told [b]ur HND certificate isn't enuf 2 make u a competitive candidate for M.S[/b]c so u were advised to transfer ur credits, get a B.Sc and then apply. Hope dis helps ...cheers!

Instantly VO will likely smell rat. They've seen alot, many HND students now in US passed through them, also the VOs are inline with their home country(US) admission system.

s-beauty:

Morning all,
Need a very good answer to this question just in case it is being asked ..
I have an HND(in chemistry precisely),
So I transferred my credit to get a Bsc still in chemistry..,before I proceed for my Msc,
So if Vo ask, why Bsc, not post graduate ..(got some points myself bt no man is an island)
Thanks.,

@sexy-beauty,

The best I will suggest is to use Yvete's big cousin's tactic saying you're going for a BS to upgrade your BS grade since you can't go for a MS in Chem in US with such grades. Though I don't know your BS CGPA. Also you can say you chose career path in Biochem (just like me) and such isn't offered in polytechnic in Nigeria, therefore, you chose a BS in Chemstry (Biochem option...This isn't necessarily be on your I-20 because MS in Biochem is given as MS in Chem here in US) to take some prerequisites needed for your loved Biochem and to be inline with your MS in Biochem in the nearest future. You need to scope the VO abeg.

Watch the following video from Department of Homeland Security. It will clearly explain what you can expect at Port of Entry. What you will see in the video is what you will experience while at port of entry. Generally first time travelers will be nervous about POE.

Having US Visa stamping doesn’t mean you will be allowed to enter into US. You have to pass through Immigration and Customs at Port of Entry, before you are allowed into U.S.A.

US Port of Entry
The immigration inspector will be checking the documents for authenticity and to be sure you are the same person who qualified for the visa.
After your admittance is approved, the inspector will give the Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, the I-20 and your passport page noting the date, place of entry, status as F-1 and period of admission which should be D/S for Duration of Status.

I'm not in the mood to laugh too much this evening. smiley smiley When I start, I don't stop.
Why didn't you get an apartment with all utilities covered. Is it just you guys only?

My cheap a$$ rented a 4x2 apartment in my final year so I had to share a bathroom which I despise, but it was hella cheap with all utilities covered (very important). When people come over to my place, they're shocked at how gross the apartment is with pets running everywhere. My roommates wash their socks and sneakers in the washer. Can you imagine? Cuture shock: I saw one of my roommates washing color off her hair on one side of the kitchen sink while I was blending tomatoes close to the sink. MY HEAD SPARKED!!!!!! .. Its no longer a big deal anyways..

My dear, change roommates or apartment. You need to mingle/network with the right people not losers that cannot offer any sort of upward mobility in any aspect of your life. From weed they become crackheads! Tsk

Most houses around are rent alone and utility is in your name. I babysit this boy too much, 24 yrs guy....c'mon sense babu. When he talks, you got to listen attentively....else 90% of what he's saying would be lost in air.....too much short sentences. You know people from LO nau.

You're the fourth to say that. Two black Americans, one white old woman and you. I babysit him too much that I didn't collect security deposit from him even with that I will pay the whole before due date and waiting for his a/s/s. The day I said the reward for goodness is nice slap, I know all that formed my decision.
