Please, wat can I do now? Am just confuse here ooooooooo EVen in the UK this booklet is a problem (Naija Jagajaga SMH) ....... Have u checked other cities such as Lagos or Abuja . Do not just rely on Osogbo . Although I have heard of this issue as been common but make sure you check all other possible offices especially the major cities . Also if the 32 pages in unavailable , check if the 62-page passport booklet is available , then if that cost more you might just have to go with it . |

Renewal is compulsory right? well the rule is that you should have 6 months validity in your passport at the time of entry at POE (you have 4 Months left) ...... Not sure how others with similar issues are resolving it . A friend had to get " travel document" to go to Naija because of lack of Booklet but yours is different so i am not sure how yours would work Maybe you ask the VO directly on this Thread too see if this would be an issue or not ?.... or if there is some document you can get from Nigerian passport office acknowledging the lack of passport booklet hence why you are travelling with a passport with less than 6 months . .... So a solution might be you can go to passport office get a letter , also print out your renewal documents to show its not your fault and beyond your control but the BOLD , these are just my thoughts as i dont know if the CBP at the POE will accept less than 6 months or not ........ ..Only a VO, CBP , or someone who has experienced it can advice you best |

QUICK TIP!!!
This is for those who want to write strong letters of motivation. I figured a way that might work if executed properly. I wanted to transfer from my department into another department which to be honest, I don't think I'm very qualified for. What did I do? I scheduled an appointment with the department's Graduate Coordinator. I went to her office and I asked her questions about the department. I asked stuff like how ranked the department is in the US, what the course is really like especially the courses students are mostly scared to take, placement of recent graduates and what they went on to do with their lives, I asked if they admitted students with backgrounds from totally different disciplines and the chance of getting in (and if so, what are they really considering from such students), what the department was moving towards in terms of development, etc. It was a trap  She told me everything about the department, what they're looking for, was indirectly bragging about how this and that, etc. Lobatan.
I went back home, and composed a letter of motivation. I wrote about myself in a way that plugged into everything that was going on in that department. I personalized everything she told me and made it look like that's what I'm really looking for. Don't want to go into much details, but I really wrote it in a way that reflected all she told me during our meeting. Even my future plans mirrored what most of their recent graduates went on to do. I picked particular interest in that course she said many people didn't like haha I submitted my application on Monday, Tuesday afternoon, they had already made a decision and she asked for another appointment to come so she'd show me around again and get me more familiar with the department. Na my $255 Paco Rabanne perfume work that one, She wan see baba again
Now, how to execute this plan. I think you should call the grad coordinator of the department you want to gain admission into. If possible, schedule an appointment via email and let it be a convenient time for them to talk. If you can't call, email could work too. Have a list of questions to ask. The point is to get them to tell you about the department, about the students already in the department, what they're really looking for, what students have gone on to do with their lives after school, etc. Get them to talk, talk, talk. After the conversation, carry your fingers and write a letter that's going to plug into the scope.
Don't know if this makes any sense, I rushed it. Apologies for any typos and incoherence. Cold wan finish my fingers. it's 24F/-4C here. Bye. Great tips!!! When you scheduled the appointment with the Graduate Coordinator, did she know of your intention to switch to her department?....perhaps, she may not have given you all the info if she had known.  Please what was d main reason u gave her for scheduling such appointment with her?...... because I have noticed that most of the Grad coordinators generally refer people to a link to learn about their graduate program on the website when they get email on Grad school inquiry. For those of us who are still in naija without such opportunity to visit a grad coordinator in his/her office, could you please suggest how to approach these coordinators via phone or email so they can freely give such valuable info about their dept  1 Like |

Glory to the Almighty, and to a lot of people who made this happen.
Special mention to the big guns in the house whose time and advices I poached on.- deetus, texrem, msnas, lagosismyhome,walspring,... 
I did mock interviews twice with deetus, once with texrem, twice with an offline colleague; until i came up with satisfactory answers to all questions they could have asked , even before the d-day.
Fast forward to today...
ME : Good morning

Vo : pass me your passport and your i20
Me : have it, ma
Vo : why do you want to study computer science ?
Me : I will be studying computer science, with a concenteration on networking and security because _ computer science is about experience and exposure.i have gotten few years experience on the field, it's high time I got the needed edge and exposure ._It will give me the boost needed to start my new role in a job i just got, as the head ,cloud computing engineer; which I will be resuming here in Nigeria, immediately after my masters program.
Vo: *was busy typing all the while , paused for a minute, looks at me ,then continued typing *
Vo : where do you work now?
Me : I am a Network Service support staff of a commercial bank in Nigeria.
Vo : why University of louisiana?
Me : *smiles* * composes myself a little * .. UL has a curriculum that fits my area of interest.Beyond that, I am particularly interested in the research area by one of my would-be professors-Prof , who is into high performance cloud computing.This area happens to be related to the new role i have been given in my new place of work , so I look forward to working with him.
I contacted him already, and i remember him saying in one of the skye interviews we did, that he is interested in me joining his team. According to him, his research team has students from all continent,but Africa,and he looks forward to me representing Africa in the team.
Vo : who is sponsoring you ?
Me: my uncle will be sponsoring me , He works with Dell Computers, Texas . I also have some personal savings which could take care of some personal expenses.Besides, I have some investments and properties that also brings returns ... *proceeds to bring out the documents and statement of accounts*
Vo: don't bother , i don't need them
