I understand, sometimes asking a uni question from a cc student can be quite tasking.

Jchi9876:


Him get class and be big man with unlimited data make he rent house and pay for am nah online before he travel as baba olowo.

Broke bottom you go hear wheeeeeeeeeeeen na by to get visa! Student for that matter

slimmy05:
individual case is quite different, Gboyega got his doesn't mean he should toll that line as well. Do you know if Gboyega has previous visit to the US before his F1 visa?

My advice for him is not to take any chance. You know you need to be very careful with the VO. Well if he feels he can defend himself that would clear immigrant intent then he is free. So PM GboyegaD and seek for advice

is Having an uncle or an aunt in the states as a sponsor for your grad studies a problem?

Who's resuming at U of H this spring

Yours truly and some other poster who hasn't given me permission to disclose his details. UH is big and massive( well, most schools are). Can't count the number of times i've lost my way. I've only been here a week and still trying to settle in. The cold weather isn't helping. The income gap between white and black americans in houston couldn't be starker that it just makes me sad. You get on a bus 85-90% of passengers are black people; you get into a half decent neighborhood or take a peek at people driving nice cars, a good majority is white.

This question goes To those livingin the US. For a student living about 15mins drive from campus, how much can one expect to spend on transport?

Femicrux:
I heard pharmacies in the US don't sell drugs except on doctors prescription. What sort of drugs can one take along? I'm thinking Actifed, panadol, procold. Any other suggestions?

Uncompletely true. They only don't sell antibiotics i.e. ampicilin, ampiclox e.t.c (Nigerian examples) and other like drugs without a doctor's prescription. Regular pills like acetaminophen (for headache, fever), flu pills e.t.c can be bought at pharmacy stores freely and don't need a doctor's prescription.

Don't bother buying flu pills from Nigeria. Our pills aren't as strong as theirs here because their flu pills are produced to be very strong to combat their strong flu virus strain (4+) which is much stronger than the virus strain we fall sick to back in Nigeria.

However, buy antibiotics when coming. It's very important. You can't get them here at the pharmacy without a doctor's prescription.

Thanks, not only school, it's everywhere. Keep flipping burger at burger king. Lol. You are still my friend though and when I run short of cash, I will PM you.

You got a problem with that. Do you have anyone in Tennessee?

Thanks to everyone who has been dropping comments on this thread, its really been a huge source of information for me.

I have been an ardent follower of this thread, tho this will be d first time am commenting. I got my F1 visa at lagos consulate on Tuesday. Thanks to the good interview tips i got from here. Below is my transcript:




Me: hello hw u doing,
VO: hi good morning , why are u going to Western Kentucky Uni.

Me: am goin for a graduate study in health care administration.
VO: whic area of HCA .
ME: Hosp management.

VO: why hospital management??
Me: am a doctor, am presently wrking at a private hospital here in lagos, i want to acquire a graduate certf in HCA, in particular hosp management, so i can manage any health establishment, and eventually, later on..even establish my own hospital.

VO: oh..dats fine. ( mutes mic and discusses wif his colleagues, and types plenty on d computer) errmh, whic sch did u finish from?

ME: University of xyz Medical sch.
Vo: what year?
Me: 2011.

Vo: so u graduated in 2011, and u wanna start having your own hospital??
ME: No, i want to pursue a graduate study to position me well in my career aspirations, den later on, eatablish an hospital in Nigeria.

Vo: ok, thats fine..where do u work presently? Me: Xyz hospital in Lekki.
Vo: oh k, lekki.
Whus gonna pay for your education??

ME: I GOT A TUITION SCHOLARSHIP, my parents gonna fund it as well, and i also have some savings to support mysef.

VO: hw did u get the scholarship??
Me: i had an impressive GRE score, plus recommendation letters i got from my professor's back in college.

Vo: What does ur parents do?
Me. Nursing.
VO: In the same hospital??
Me; No, another Hospital. (I silently praying he wouldnt ask for the bank statement, cos parents are both Legal residents in the US, and it will be a red flag)

Vo: ok ur visa has been approved, pick it up in VI on friday... (hands out a white paper )...

Me: smiles sheepishly... thank u, thank u.....*dancing***

Advice for any applicant:
Pls put God first...buhh make sure u do ur standardised test, make sure u pass GRE WELL ohh..

Pls prepare ursef for the interview, dnt go der and start blabbing or stammering...imagine someone going for masters in the US, VO asked hw he got to knw about the sch, and he responded.." my friends told me about the sch, that its a big sch, they have fine..fine structures" ...u can juss imagine the outcome...

Follow this thread at ur own good! It helps...
