Hmm ..I want to really commend the people holding up this thread .

...

My Questions

I need Advice...

As I have a year or more to be cleared of C.O(note our school has been on strike,no one knows when it will be called of ,then my extra semester before I am clear for graduation)

--->Pls is it possible I get admitted as a transfer student in any of this us universities in my case


-->Is it possible for one to sponsor himself if he his capable(I am a freelancer and also have a registered business) ,and how does one answer such questions during visa interviews

The issue of self sponsor for me is very tricky because unless you get scholarships how realistic is it that someone your age (which i guess less than 30) can then sponsor a 4 year uni plan abroad. ... given this current exchange rate it will be so expensive, its almost impossible and i think a VO willsee through that. VO live in Nigeria and have a feel of the economic climate ....so that one issue. Then after visa ..... How will u concentrate on your books and be hustling to fund yourself. The reality is easily said than done.....

Secondly if i were used i would just finish with the BSC and aim for masters... ......... One u are almost there , two u can easily switch to another field at the masters level as Eng and IT are still relatived somehow...... three if your gp is high as u say then aim for Ga which helps financially . So for me oo transfer option is out or starting again. Just do your extra semesterthen free your self from undergrad , get your transcript and certificate then before u can start facing this matter. .....which u still need funding by the way because self sponsor is hard to convince a VO Except msybe if u can demonstrate how u been working and accumulating earnings for many years

Quite unfortunate. The police officer who shot and killed the African American should be charged with manslaughter.

its processing time is always indefinite if it's for US citizen/permanent resident filling for either brother or sister, but filling for parent, spouse or child under 21 is in a space of 5 months. so if i were you i would want to sit tight and hope that statuesque changes. best of luck

@amanze15

Thanks for your answer.

Help me with this !!!

What can she do to bring me to USA to stay?

LagosismyHome:


What visa is your sister on ...because if she only been in the USA for only 2 years then its most likely she not a citizen yet.... so not sure she can file for u next year

so quickest case she married to a citizen for those 2 years if yes she might still have like 3 years before Citizenship then before she can file for u

After lets say 3 years she file for you,if you are over 21 ...then siblings is like over 10years .... The waka for petition siblings filing is a long thing except you mean apply for visiting visa for non immigrant visa and not immigrant visa

@amanze15

Thanks for your answer.

Help me with this !!!

Thank yoh very much for the advice

I think I will will start preparing from now then...both in terms of the funding and preparation for exams.

I don't know ,it may seem impossible but some bloggers and freelancers cash in 1k to 1.5k ( via adsense and fiverr combined) in usd monthly.(Almost a reality for me too)

But I think the best thing is to invest in a physical business which will reflect in my bank accounts so when the time comes I won't have issues.
I will keep learning from you guys.
I believe by the time I complete youth service here things will fall into place by God's Grace .
@Walspring ,I appreciate your response.
Thanks very much

Well except if its April fools day or APC fake promise of 1naira to 1dollar ..... the exchange rate is going up up up and not down yet so its highly unlikely it will then drop from 53k to 31k as at 31k its way less than d official dollar rate....... It is more likely that soon the rate will be increased from 53K self

I think it would be changed on the 28th of this month but whether it would be reduced or increased is what I can't say.

Hello please i want to study a four years course in USA. I have some questions that are bothering me

1)How much is tuition per year for the lowest tuition fee schools in USA


2) Can i work and meet up payment for House rent Electricity bill etc.

Hello house

Me: * with a pounding heart* good morning

V. O:pass me your passport and i-20
Me:i did

V. O:*after typing for some seconds* so u are going to troy university
Me: yes I am for an undergraduate degree in computer science.

V. O: how did u hear about the school.
Me:a family friend recommended it to me and I used google.com to get more information about the school

V. O: so did u apply to any other universities
Me: yes I did, Alabama a&m

V. O: but Many US universities offer computer science, why did u apply to all these universities in the same state.
Me: the family friend who recommended the school lives in Alabama and will act as my guardian during my stay

V. O:*types for like 2 minutes* I can see you have been to the US before, was it Alabama you went to
Me: no I went to Durham North Carolina on a family vacation
V. O: *types again* I will be approving your visa u can pick it up at so so and so.

All the bank statements letter of sponsorship, and other documents were not asked for. I really appreciate this thread and everyone in it. I pray for success for everyone. Na to find cheap flight ticket remain now

That's correct. More likely it'll increase further. Nigeria is running a kangaroo economy!!
