It has worked, but is ABUJA I NEED, this link is Lagos please.

Please help with ABUJA

Am new here. Please can someone add me to Lagos group chat. I just got admission

vicdom:

Was it not stated in their requirement earlier?
Have you been given admission? If yes, write back to them telling them that it's impossible to get your WES evaluation within this time left. Otherwise, there's nothing else you can do. It's impossible to get your evaluation done within this short time left.

WES evaluation actually takes a minimum of 4weeks for electronic means, and 8 - 12 weeks for manual method.

I have been admitted, it was stated that official after admission and I have been struggling to get the transcript since I have been admitted, time is catching up on me.

Hello everyone.

I have been offered admission at BGSU but not placed on funding list yet. Grad coord says he will let me know if this changes. Any advise on what else I can do? Can I still reach out to advisors in the dept for possible GA placement ?

Nairalanders, please I need your advice on what to do. I got admission to CSUCI in November 2022 for Spring January 2023 and the amount required for F-1 visa was $35200, which was N4900000 but i had N16,000000 in my account then, when a dollar was N422. But I didn't get early appointment time. I was given August but now my date has been rescheduled to April 20 of this year and when the school sent another i-20 form to me, they used the old account statement I sent to them in December 2022. Dollar rates now fluctuates between N460-N462, which will make the $35200 to be around N16270000. My question is should I take the old account balance to the embassy or do I need to print a new one to meet up with the current dollar rates? Thanks nairalanders in advance

Okay! What stage are you now? When did you start the process?

I have been following this threads for a while but I'm stilll having problems applying to the right schools ( that do not require appilication free or unofficial transcripts) . The whole process is starting to feel impossible and it'sreally bothering me . Please is there any group I can join or anything that I can do to help me.

Please I need suggestions. I have a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and a masters degree in Environmental Toxicology. I am interested in pursuing a phd in the environmental sciences in either the usa or canada. I currently have no publication. I have read some other thread where someone said its mandatory one has significant publication to stand any chance of getting a fully funded offer. Please I would like to know if someone can get a fully funded offer in any of those countries without any scholarly publication. Anyone interested in an environmental science phd position should link up.

That's a misinformation. No need of paper publication before you can get a fully funded option

Embassy uses official rates, not black market rates

Yes I have been given admission already. I need help with getting funding from the dept or Prof. How do I get funding. Got admission to siu Carbondale

Same here o,I also got admission with cardondale SIU, waiting for funding. Although a proff I secured prior to applying said he's still waiting for his NSF funding to be approved,if they do then he'll have funding for me for fall,he's yet to reach out tho; more so, would it be advisable to ask the grad cord to put me on waiting list just incase anybody rejects an offer?

I applied for the geology Msc program,wbu?

There's no rush to this process. Just take as long as you need to figure everything out.

Thanks. I appreciate.

Good morning house.
I must commend all those that have been responding to questions on this platform.
I must say that you people are wonderful.

Please is it advisable to get loan of 80K Usd to study a masters in a STEM Course in usa?

How much per hour can someone earn while a masters student in US?

Is it true that securing a loan to study is a trap for international students in Usa and heavy burden to pay back??

Thank you in advance.

What particular STEM course is this? You have to consider ROI for a course before taking such loan please. My advise is try get funding from your department or other department in your school. Also, there is no hustle that can be done in US to pay school fees oooo, US is not UK please.

klawaaa:
America is a land of illegal immigrants. Over 12 million illegal immigrants! Most of these people in the states work illegally and do the odd jobs like care givers, Uber, Amazon, doordash etc. Depending on the states, they have different state laws that allow undocumented immigrants to thrive. States like NY, MA, CO, CA among other blue states allow immigrants to work without work authorization. Most of these people work to survive and then find their way to adjust their status. So, being a student still give you more opportunity to survive. Shalom!

Kai, please are you in US or outside US? I will like to know. You are advising someone with a better chance of landing assistantship to study in US to enter as an illegal? Have you had a one on one discussion with people that entered through that route? I mean those ready to tell you the truth. Do you think it's that rosy for them? When you can enter legally, study with tuition waived and also earn better money after school, you are advising someone to come and be doing max 20$/hr job for ever? The 20$/h is even the upper limit, most is 10$/h. Abeggy oooo. This is a wrong advise, don't lead people to trouble.

Good morning,I'm new here
I wanted to know whether anyone who was rejected earlier has gotten a visa slot or the embassy has rescheduled it to a closer date.
My friend got September 22nd and school resumes August 21st, and his agent is saying whether he should change his appointment to Abuja.

Please can someone add me to the whatsapp group for both Abuja and Lagos


Please help someone out,
Thank you.

You meant $35200@4.9m or 49m?
If your account still covers the revised new rate at N465, then it should not be a problem if your statement is less than 6months… or to be on safe side, print a new statement of account.
Good luck

Tankio . It’s like advising a defender that the best way to stop a striker is to rough-tackle him/her inside the penalty box.

Good day ,I’m new here please can someone add me to the Abuja group chat I just scheduled my appointment and I’m looking for early date to reschedule or request emergency interview.

No,not yet
The agent mentioned that in lagos the new policy is that the embassy will reschedule the date you pick, meanwhile in Abuja they've not started that policy. that's why they want to switch.

Ps. this person has been trying since june 2022 and it's tiring for them, that's the reason they decided to use an agent and he is also still in school.

Wilddream:

No,not yet

So everybody is looking as well. Agents don't increase your chances.. you have to keep trying like everybody . Good luck

You must understand the different types of funding and their requirements (GA, TA, RA).

If you want a Research Assistantship to assist Profs with their research works, the majority of them usually request to see a writing sample.

For someone going for Ph.D while, won't he/she have at least a publication?

Some schools in Nigeria even mandates MSc student to have a publication before the final defense of their dissertation.
