Has anyone used GTBank naira card to pay application fee lately? I tried mine last night but it wasn't successful. Pla advise

Yes I have. What was the reason for not being successful? Did you input the 16digits in front of the debit card instead of your account number in the space of account number? Plus the name on the card and your address at the bank has to tally with what you filled.

Well, some not so great schools would allow that, but you're better off starting all over again. We do a lot of secondary school coursework as freshmen here In Nigeria, so You won't have matching course requirement with most schools.
Okay so they may consider me but i'll have to start from year 1?

Bros, this isn't Naija where there is discrimination against your diploma; your OND+HND == BSc. What you need to do first is evaluate your transcript for correct conversion. And then you can apply for MSc. with some sweet Federal $$ in funding grin grin grin. .... did you finish with distinction or upper?

Abeg no vex bro, how do i easily find those schools with such sweet federal dollars easily please. I had a CGPA of 4.01/5.0 from FUTA. I need a great advice on this please. I do Not know how to identify such schools. As once i see some big amount I'm tuition I set run away ni. Please help me out

I’m addition to what others have said, even if he has a company who wants to apply for him they can only apply when the window opens April 2018 for an October 2018 start.

There is a 85k quota for H1b visas annually and based on prior years they recorded about 300k applications so even for those approved it becomes a lottery and those Indian outsourcing companies like Tata Infosys etc have for the game locked down.


Olamsanj:
Good day house! This question is for a friend who was denied an F1 visa thrice last year when he wanted to go for his Masters. Now a company in the US is filing an H1b visa for him which would be done with the processing in few weeks time. Please what are his chances of getting an H1b visa approved or there’s no problem?

Visa Status Finally changed to ISSUED about an hour ago. After exactly one month on Administrative Processing.
This was truly one test of my patience and trust in God.

I wish all other people stuck in the "AP hole" success.

Visa delayed AGAIN at the Lagos Embassy.

It happened like a mirage
. Though VO was sharing BLUE PAPER like cabin biscuit to all the guys before me. But truth is, they weren't responding fine and when it got to my turn, I approached him smiling. Though I am yet to explain what happened to me cos I was really balling like it was hot...

VO: Hello good morning.
Me: Good morning Sir? How was your night.
VO: Am fine thank you. Pass me your passport and i-20.
Me: Here it is. (Passed it).
VO: So where are you going to?
Me: I am going to TAMUK, Texas to pursue my masters degree in Mathematics and Statistics with a concentration in Statistical Analytics, Computing and Modelling.
VO: okay? How many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to 3 schools. TAMUK, Indiana University and McNesse State University.
VO: so why did you choose TAMUK over Indiana?
Me: TAMUK is a research University and has great research facilities which include the Javelina Algebra Lab which is the computer classroom for my department and the James C. Jeernigan Library which is one of the largest libraries in Texas and I believe having access to such research facilities will be a great boost as it will broaden my academic horizons.
VO: Nodding his head like agama lizard.
Me: (continued) also, in my quest to know more about the school, I downloaded the official school's app which keeps me up to date with happenings in the school.
In addition to this, I developed a good relationship with Professor.... (VO cuts in).
VO: When did you graduate?
Me: November 2011.
VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: I hold a bachelor's in Computer Science.
VO: So since after school, what have you been doing?
Me: After school, I served and then got a job at xyz bank as a Service Executive. I am an ATM custodian and my roles are blablabla...

VO: nods his head again and ask So why masters?
Me: Sorry?
VO: I said, why do you wanna pursue a masters?
Me: Well, the prospects and opportunities for this course are extremely high in Nigeria and their is a lack of professionals...
VO cuts in: What do you mean by prospects?
Me: Job prospects.
VO: Oh? Okay?
Me (continues): For example, big data and analytics which is one of the courses I will study at TAMUK is relatively new here in Nigeria and experts in the field are hard to source.
(VO again nodding continuously like agama)
Me (continued). Companies here in Nigeria who need the services of big data analysts have no other choice but to hire expatriate professionals from other technologically advanced countries like the US....

VO now nodding harder and harder..

Me: (now feeling like a don jazzy singing ogbeni feli feli continues)...and there is the need to..... (I went blank. Mind you, i never crammed this o. I was flowing and VO was nodding his head and all of a sudden I forgot what I was saying entirely and where i was drivinf at.)

VO was still nodding his head and looking at me ooooo and with the expression in his face, was like, hey? Whatsup nah? Continue, am enjoying the gist...

Me: (I opened my mouth to talk, but nothing came out. Hey? I was doomed....)

VO: angry

Me: (stammering....) Am sorry sir....

VO: Just calm down. Take your time.

Me: (Just like Danfo wey dey push down a hill I pick up).... and studying this course will equip me with the analytical and technical skills needed to flourish as a data analyst and will help me fill the gap for a lack of indigenous big data analysts in my country.

VO: (indifferent) Have you travel out of the country before?
Me: No. I have not had any need to.
VO: Who is your sponsor?
Me: My dad.
VO: What does he do?
Me: he is into haulage, supply and distribution of petroleum products. He also owns petrol stations here in Lagos and Aba angry

VO: Are you married?
Me: No, but am engaged.

VO: brings out the devilish love letter from the devil's mailbag)... Am sorry you do not qualify....

Me: (goes deaf)... but summoned courage to ask, BUT WHAT WENT WRONG THIS TIME? (I expected him to say that yeye paper will explain but he said something else).

VO; Am sorry, you failed to convince me you are a genuine student. angry

Me: angry thank you.
VO: Have a nice day grin


Without being told, I know I screwed up when I off like say them press my remote from village....

All the same, I wish my people well... Mercybliss, I will sincerely miss u from the depth of my heart. @Tosin baba, represent us well. Remember you are our TAMUK course rep. @iPhy and @Mayorboi, @ikenna omo Igbo, @ojelade am so sorry I fall una hands big time this second attempt. No doubt it seems my first was even better. I wish you guys a wonderful trip to the States. You guys have been my family here. If God tarries, I will join you guys in due course maybe not now.

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by k199192: 12:35pm On Dec 14, 2017
jerrypeacelinks:
Visa delayed AGAIN at the Lagos Embassy.

It happened like a mirage
. Though VO was sharing BLUE PAPER like cabin biscuit to all the guys before me. But truth is, they weren't responding fine and when it got to my turn, I approached him smiling. Though I am yet to explain what happened to me cos I was really balling like it was hot...

VO: Hello good morning.
Me: Good morning Sir? How was your night.
VO: Am fine thank you. Pass me your passport and i-20.
Me: Here it is. (Passed it).
VO: So where are you going to?
Me: I am going to TAMUK, Texas to pursue my masters degree in Mathematics and Statistics with a concentration in Statistical Analytics, Computing and Modelling.
VO: okay? How many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to 3 schools. TAMUK, Indiana University and McNesse State University.
VO: so why did you choose TAMUK over Indiana?
Me: TAMUK is a research University and has great research facilities which include the Javelina Algebra Lab which is the computer classroom for my department and the James C. Jeernigan Library which is one of the largest libraries in Texas and I believe having access to such research facilities will be a great boost as it will broaden my academic horizons.
VO: Nodding his head like agama lizard.
Me: (continued) also, in my quest to know more about the school, I downloaded the official school's app which keeps me up to date with happenings in the school.
In addition to this, I developed a good relationship with Professor.... (VO cuts in).
VO: When did you graduate?
Me: November 2011.
VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: I hold a bachelor's in Computer Science.
VO: So since after school, what have you been doing?
Me: After school, I served and then got a job at xyz bank as a Service Executive. I am an ATM custodian and my roles are blablabla...

VO: nods his head again and ask So why masters?
Me: Sorry?
VO: I said, why do you wanna pursue a masters?
Me: Well, the prospects and opportunities for this course are extremely high in Nigeria and their is a lack of professionals...
VO cuts in: What do you mean by prospects?
Me: Job prospects.
VO: Oh? Okay?
Me (continues): For example, big data and analytics which is one of the courses I will study at TAMUK is relatively new here in Nigeria and experts in the field are hard to source.
(VO again nodding continuously like agama)
Me (continued). Companies here in Nigeria who need the services of big data analysts have no other choice but to hire expatriate professionals from other technologically advanced countries like the US....

VO now nodding harder and harder..

Me: (now feeling like a don jazzy singing ogbeni feli feli continues)...and there is the need to..... (I went blank. Mind you, i never crammed this o. I was flowing and VO was nodding his head and all of a sudden I forgot what I was saying entirely and where i was drivinf at.)

VO was still nodding his head and looking at me ooooo and with the expression in his face, was like, hey? Whatsup nah? Continue, am enjoying the gist...

Me: (I opened my mouth to talk, but nothing came out. Hey? I was doomed....)

VO: angry

Me: (stammering....) Am sorry sir....

VO: Just calm down. Take your time.

Me: (Just like Danfo wey dey push down a hill I pick up).... and studying this course will equip me with the analytical and technical skills needed to flourish as a data analyst and will help me fill the gap for a lack of indigenous big data analysts in my country.

VO: (indifferent) Have you travel out of the country before?
Me: No. I have not had any need to.
VO: Who is your sponsor?
Me: My dad.
VO: What does he do?
Me: he is into haulage, supply and distribution of petroleum products. He also owns petrol stations here in Lagos and Aba angry

VO: Are you married?
Me: No, but am engaged.

VO: brings out the devilish love letter from the devil's mailbag)... Am sorry you do not qualify....

Me: (goes deaf)... but summoned courage to ask, BUT WHAT WENT WRONG THIS TIME? (I expected him to say that yeye paper will explain but he said something else).

VO; Am sorry, you failed to convince me you are a genuine student. angry

Me: angry thank you.
VO: Have a nice day grin

I like the humor in your adversity. my own advice is that you should try to go for Ms in computer science and if you did not write the gre, try to write it.
cheers
