Walspring:


Why great grand uncle receipt? Did you list that during your application ?

masquellett:

Thanx G

LagosismyHome:


You can still look into the Canadian Express Entry System and see if you have the points and put in the application now ....so by the time u are
graduating you have two options and can move closer to your brother if u want

I guess d only thing is d annoying application fees since ur focus is on ur fees first. ...but if u can do it cool . Many naija i knw back then did Canadian as a student as backup so as H1b no show , oya off to where u have PR.

Walspring:


Lol...

I sent you pm

LagosismyHome:


Lol.... Thankfully there are many other schools so why must it be this one that uses agency

Chengken:



I kent with Nigerians,
First of all this is inferiority complex, so you are planning to go overseas and make your accent better. Foh, you are about to spend thousands of $$$$ to change your accent. What in the world were you thinking, and which relative in their right senses will be willing to sponsor this Success in your exams

Walspring:


Perfect answer is don't waste your money my brother on this English as a second language and apply for your dream course after writing ielts or toefl.

Go and write toefl or ielts which is a requirement that will be used for you instead of doing English as a 2nd language for 5 months.

It seems you don't understand and know what English as a second language means when student were asked to do it for 5 months?

Is better you google to know the meaning and don't wast over $5000 in what you can use approximately $200 to do here in Nigeria.

Wise up and trust me its as if you want to go and write and do toefl or ielts class in US for 5 months with over $5000, does that make sense to you at all

But if you want to cry again, you can go ahead and reapply with it for visa interview..

jackikeys:
tnx bro.. 1..how do i register 4 TOEFL,IELTS ? 2.. hw many months dos it take b4 d result comes out ? 3... can 1 use certificate from NIIT to apply 4 masters ? tnxxx

Walspring:


Before I comment, lemme ask you who paid the visa fee for you and which gtbank branch?

I guess you want to talk about ds160 code before if your gtbank reference code doesn't match how come you are able to book visa interview appointment? I hope you didn't
take old receipt to the interview ?

amakachigerry:
Hello good peeps,
Please i am in a dilemma about what to do. This Port of Entry issue bothers and somehow scares me. Can one be turned back and deported if he lands in a different airport far from his school as a student visa holder. For instance, my school is in connecticut, but i want to land in Dallas to meet with my uncle before continuing my journey. Hope i wont be turned back? My orientation will commence on 24th August and i will be travelling by 17th.

Profile:
GPA: 3.61/4.00
GRE: 291.
School: Kean Uni, NJ
Course: Computer Information Systems (Ms)
So, I woke up by 3am, prayed to God and started preparing for my interview at 9:30. My dad was going towards Lekki so he dropped me @ the embassy, saw those sharp embassy guys @ the entrance, trying to break the windscreen in other to get me to snap passport or staple my passport on my docs. I totally ignored the guys like plague and chilled till it was time to call the 9:30 appointment time crew. Along the line, I was sent back to go drop my flashdrive, which I didn't know was on me. Went back and threw the flash somewhere and rejoined the queue. Got in, passed all the screening exercise and was on interview queue. Actually, I wasn't praying for any window, but the VO in window 9 was just sharing blue paper like gifts. I kept my chill. Finally, I heard next and went straight to window 4. The following conversations occured.

VO: hello gud morning
Me: good morning ma (I tried to smile but my cheeks didn't allow me, maybe I was scared or something)
Vo: pass me your ds160, passport, i20 and sevis, (passed all). *kept calm*
Vo: why are you going to the US?
Me: to have my masters degree in Computer Information systems at kean uni, NJ
Vo: why kean?
Me: kean is one of the best public schools in the US, they have gud research facilities and also I got a GA position where I will be working with Prof. James Collins on his research on cyber security
Vo: how did you find out about the school?
Me: I made my research based on cybersecurity, using google, usnesw.com and gradcafe.com
Vo: who is paying for this?
Me: I got a GA position and my aunt will be paying the rest.
(na so another round of drilling started)
Vo: did you write any standardized exams?
Me: yes, I wrote GRE, had 151quant, 140verbal and 3'.5 anw (vo stops typing and was just looking at me, I tried to smile again, but my cheeks just stand still)
Vo: why did you think you got the GA?
Me: I guess the school was impressed with the quality of application materials I submitted. The minimum requirement for GA position is GPA 3.25 while I had 3.61.
Vo: what did you have in your bsc?
Me: Computer science
Vo: when did you graduate?
Me: 2013
Vo: what have u been ddoing?
Me: I work with The Bells secondary school as a system administrator, my duties are update of schools website, maintenance of computers and management of students exam results using edalaf software
Vo: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3, kean uni, uni of akron, ohio and university of ibadan nigeria.
Vo: why kean? (again? But I don answer dis question before na? I sha talk something again)
Me: because I will be working on a research topic with Professor James Collins and I was also offered a GA
(She was typing and typing and typing for some minutes, I just dey pray for my mind) next thing I heard was "I will be approving your visa". I just went deaf. I didn't hear anything again. I walked out of the hall majestically.

Special thanks to Lagosismyhome( your the real MVP mam, God bless you, I will make sure my kids appreciate you too, stay blessed) , Walspring, imperiouxx, texrem, Oludare1, dickoflife, Ashbammy(my NJ partner), slimmy2005( even with all d abuse wey u abuse me, I still love you), femi234, gunther6 et Al. God bless you all. Amen.
NB: those yet to go for interview, I wish you the best, pray, be confident and get yourself informed. You shall get it. Blessings Fam!

Hello,

I noticed you are confident enough but the responses might not be good enough. I can also deduce that you are going for your undergraduate (please correct me) and you probably did not check transcripts from this forum early enough however I think you have a good chance next time.

On international student's package-i am hearing that for the first time and if thats the reason for choosing your school then we have schools that can offer similar or better "package". Such response may notbe convincing enough- you should try to mention some important things here like the course, your interests in relation to your department, faculty members as well as current and past students.


You are also expected to know the website of your workplace not just because your uncle owns it but you also learned something about Web design.

About your "accent". That is the main reason you were declined. Rule number one-never make anyone feel you are not proud of who you are- your accent is your accent and you must accept this if you don't (as you showed), that means you are trying to distant yourself from your origin and by inference, you do not intend to associate with your home country hence 214B.



All the best next time.

LagosismyHome:


If you are really a genuine student and would be resuming August 24 then u have nothing to fear but fear itself. ... you plan to go to school after your visit to uncle then simply book that ticket now and take it with u at POE incase they ask which they might or might not

So what is there to be scared about. Its a very easy and simple process if u are a genuine student, u can spend less than 1 minute there

engineerjimmy:
Please if you are in pocatello Idaho or Houston TX,please send me a message on whatsapp 08170697723,I'm going to be there this weekend and I need somebody to relate with.Tnx

DeeTus:
What is there to be scared about? Hahahaha. Those POE guys can be mean sometimes.

dickoflife:

Hello house, please what's the best means of carrying money abroad for international students? Is it advisable to source from BDC(aboki) here in Nigeria or it is better to deposit in my naira acct here in Nigeria and withdraw with my atm card when I travel. Please i need response.

They will get your documents and forward it to the school for you..
