Bro...lemme tell you the fact...to get a job as an international student is like taking a camel through a needle's eye...what work are you thinking about sef...$8 per hour job for 20 hours or less a week? i will advise you do not defer after entry else you will fall "out of status"....defer before coming and remain in naija till your deferment is over or when you have acquired enough money...USA is not for faint-hearted international students ooo...don't worry bro it is well
Well said bro.
In addition, you get to see hell in america when you go over as an INTERNATIONAL STUDENT without any form of financial aid (partial/full scholarships, graduate assistantship, etc) whatsoever from your intended school and your parents ain't financially buoyant. Men, na so suffer suffer you go ðε̲̣̣̣̥Ɣ suffer. If you really want to enjoy your study time in the US, try applying for and obtaining any form of financial aid from your prospective schools if you know your parents ain't like the ilks of Ifeanyi Uba, Dangote etc. International students pay tuition twice the amount residents pay. Of course you know what that means. Know your priorities and start early to set them right. It is very important.

funmiad: pls house..can i defer my admission after entering the US.. or..?? cos i for like 2 work for a while ooo..is it possible..?? pls i need ur advice on this ASAP.

Answer: It's not possible except you are the most lucky JJC Nigerian in America to get an illegally job and if caught (of which I'm sure you will if you ever ever get such job), you are on your way back to Nigeria. And how will you even get a job without SSN and reference letter?.....all about off campus job for a F1 visa carrier at the expense of schooling or while actively schooling tend to infinitesimal.

Another heart breaker is that in America, instead of them giving an illegal Nigerian job, they will rather give it to illegal Mexicans because a Nigerian can't speak Spanish to Spanish customers but a Mexican will do. One more thing, illegal Mexican without job are well known to salvage dumpsters, I'm sure you don't wish for that.

Ask your school for a letter that can permit your coming few days behind resumption. Classes start in most schools on Jan 14, that Jan 8 might be your orientation day.

The moment we cross over to Jan, any flight booked within Jan-Feb will be outrageous. Your aim is to resume with the school, so it's either you leave Nigeria today or tomorrow 31 at reasonable price or you book that outrageous flight ticket and get to school in Jan or you wait till beginning of Mar when everything comes down.

Go to wakanow and try different dates,close to that date. You might just find that traveling during weekdays may be cheaper. You may find round trip tickets cheaper than one-way too. Just work around different dates.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part3 by Snazzygirl: 3:05pm On Dec 30, 2012

Even he tries with different combinations of website, airline, time, day, route and direction of flight, Jan 1 - early Mar are the most expensive and can't be compare with Dec.

They are a more lively over there with funny names and hidden jokes thrown around.

You astute girl. . . . I go there when am extremely bored and idle. . . And as they say "an idle mind is. . ". . .

Why would you want to do this? You won't be able to work or do anything within this period and you would be required to not reside in the USA at that period

Take my comment as read. I was trying to figure out why the VO laughed. Okay? Starting all over as a freshman is what I find improper and presumed that the VO could have as well because its costs you more money and more years. Do you ride a bicycle from Lag to Abj when you can ride a bus or fly to your destination faster? That's my reasoning behind the comment that someone else could not grasp. Unless you have no certifications/diploma/degree you can try again this semester giving solid examples that explain how productively you've been working towards the Automotive degree.

When you say automobile, most people would immediately think Michigan because of its auto industry. If you don't try again this semester, apply to stellar Colleges like Michigan State (MSU) for the same degree or Mech. Eng elsewhere. PS: The automotive degree is popular with schools like Everest and co ... technical schools. When you come in for a bachelors in the US, your major is unofficial and you're not allowed to declare officially till the 1st semester your junior year. Meaning: You can switch your degree plan as soon as you step foot in the college. My older sis went from a Diploma in Accounting at UniAbuja -> One semester at Texas A&M Accounting -> changed her mind to UT Austin for BS Nursing then MS Nursing. It was fast. If its easier to get a visa with Mech. Eng, go for it. All the best.

Henceforth, I refuse to anyone who's reasoning is obviously skewed, poses with fake Christian empathy and used my name maliciously. ....

@fumiad
You can check this website 'www.eatright.org' for detailed info on the ACEND accredited schools that offer MS in nut&dietetics. No one can decide a school for you.There are many questions you will need to ask yourself that nobody here has an answer to. For example, we don't know if u want to be an RD or you just want to be a nutritionist(this is an important question u'll have to answer,bc it will determine the track u'l follow), we don't know ur GPA, neither do we know how much you can afford for tuition. Do your research through that website, and also check out the website of your desired school for updated info.

@Funmi the only way u can work is wen u register with the school u are goin to attend den u can look for jobs on campus and its only a 20hr job for 8.25per hr

thats in IL with other states i think the minimum wage is even lesser so its better u have enuf financial backup before u enter Usa, becos getting job outside

school my dear is so close to impossible and if caught u will be deported for breaking the law. its so funny becos i talked about this issue in part 2 and one

yankison said if u have money for flight he can survive in America that i shud not discourage him, becos i survived in America He too will survive its so funny.

so all am saying is carry as enuf as u can atleast for first semster then work during the summer 40hrs full time then u shud be fine and also apply for GA if u are a graduate student...my 2cents!!! smiley

I think you have been well answered by snazzygirl, imperiouxx and others,...if you feel the price is too outrageous, then consider breaking your flight to see if it gets any cheaper...like go to www.wakanow.com and search for flights from Lagos to New York (which is always the cheapest flight destination from nigeria to the USA)probably royal air maroc, eygptair and so, don't consider iberia, arik, british airways and the likes cos their prices fit break neck at this peroid, then search on google for flights from NY to Houston probably jetblue airlines...you will need to spend the money all the same if you must meet your resumption date so act fast...all the best

Like Imperrioxx said just get a letter from the school and you will be fine,in fact you can resume a week after the commencement of classes so if your classes starts lets say on the 14th of Jan you can come in on the 20th and start school on the 21 so collect your visa and book your flight and jet in as soon as you can all u need is just a letter from your school
Goodluck!

Just as snazzygirl said, you may ask them to scan the extension letter written on a letterheaded paper, that I'm sure is sufficient.

Also just to let u know that even email printouts have worked very well for all the people I know, so I think you'll be just fine.

I do not reaaly know what is happening, house please help me out!

I booked my appointment since 24 November 2012 & I chose the only available date which was 26/12/2012 & was confirmed by an email sent to my inbox.
On another ocassion, I received another email stating that my appointment date is 27/12/2012.
Again on December 12 at 4;58 PM, I received a third email stating that my appointment has been rescheduled to January O4, 2013 upon embassy request and that I should log in back into my account to check the details for the new appointment confirmation sent to me.
Then I reported to fellow nairalanders & I was urged to contact them which I did through email & phone call though I could not get through phone . Hence I still considered 04 Jan. to be Ok for me. They did not reply my email until last week Tuesaday (exactly 4 businessday because of break).
Last Friday I received a call from embassy affirming that my appointment is this friday 04/12/2013.

Now, I logged in to my email & I saw another email from embassy stating that my appointment has been rescheduled to next weekend & that they are sorry for any inconveniencies they may have caused me.
House, Since November 24 this is what I have been living for & This is another story.
Please I invite all the GURUS in the House to help me out of this matter.
Honestly, I am DUMBFOUNDED, Speechless indeed a day to my year of Divine Favour
I do not really know what is happening.
The resumption date on my I-20 is no later than January 14, 2013. In short, I would not have finished the processing before the last day of resumption.

I should be obliged to your response.
Thanks.
