I guess it does. Can't remember right now.

GboyegaD:

What great is saying is that do not apply to schools only because they are cheap, but consider their rating as well. I would suggest you check Birgham Young University in Utah. It is a cheap school and with a very good rating however, please note that it is owned and operated by the Mermons as they fund majority of the operating cost. Therefore, be sure it is okay by you before you go ahead to apply so that you don't get disappointed whenever you know. I don't know too much about Mermons but in terms of moral, they have very high standards which I think can help whatever faith you believe in since they don't compel you to attend their services unlike our own church universities here in Nigeria.

lisadem:

I don't think there is a question like that. A close question as it appears on the ds-160 is this, "Have you ever used other names (i.e., maiden, religious, professional, alias, etc.)?"
This I think is only applicable to people that have done change of name, say a married woman etc. You have any contrary opinion? @Gboyega

bigfrancis21:

Lmao!!! . Nairalanders won't cease from making me laugh. Boy, you didn't have to quote all that part from the page to prove your point to me. I already know what you're trying to say. .

Now let's go through my post one more time.



Look at the first bolded, what does it say? Complete, right? Note I didn't say you can book for your interview first before you start with the DS-160. To complete means to finish up something yet unfinished right? Now, because you need the DS-160 code to book your visa interview, you could quickly create a DS-160, copy out the application ID that will be assigned to you, save the page and logout, visit the booking website and book your interview. The application code is the only item required from your DS-160 in order to book the visa. Then after booking the interview, you can go back to the DS-160 website and complete your DS-160. You get the grammar now? This is found useful especially in situations when there has been no interview dates available and suddenly a few dates come out and you need to book a date immediately before all the available dates are taken and need not waste time to waste filling the DS-160 form. What you'll simply do is, create a DS-160, copy the code, save and logout, visit the visa booking site, book immediately and save. You can always return later to complete the DS-160 and submit. You could even complete and submit the DS-160 30 minutes to your interview. . However, you MUST submit the DS-160 before your interview and it could be anytime. This is what I did and what many other nairalanders have being doing.

Even after submitting a DS-160 and you discover some mistakes and want to change it, you can simply create another one, fill and submit, visit the interview booking site, use the update button and update/change your DS-160 with your new application code. The new DS-160 will now then be used to interview you, not the former.

fadex56: @bigfrancis, i sent you a mesg bt i avent seen ur reply. Thanks

eduson002: . Pls do u ve an idea on hw long it takes for regular airmail to be delivered to Nigerian POBox? Its been 4weeks and am yet to receive my mail.

Square65: This is just to further clarify things for some of the new prospective applicants/students.

The number of schools you apply to is a function of so many things i.e f(MONEY, determination, what you are looking for, etc) - different situations for different people.

Although some people only applied to just one school and got EXACTLY what they wanted, simple probability sense would tell us that the larger the number of schools you applied to, the higher the chances of getting what you REALLY want. I for one applied to 9 schools in total (including 5 in the US).

As for the embassy, there is ABSOLUTELY no way the VO can know how many schools you applied to except you let him know. That TOEFL/GRE scores are sent to schools does not necessarily mean one applied to those schools. For example again, in my own case, I applied to only one out of the four schools listed in my first TOEFL/GRE report. So this means I had several other official score reports, each corresponding to the schools I eventually applied to. I could have presented any of these without the VO knowing the actual number of schools I applied to.

The bottom line is, there's nothing like applying to many schools for the embassy's sake, it is ABSOLUTELY for your own sake! In this regard, you can tell the VO anything you want him to know (3, 4, 20 ...), whether true or not (left to your own principles/conscience).

Amefrica: I got u mr swagger.. Pls dnt say im bothering u.. I dnt av any copy of my grades with me, what if i contact my high school and they cant provide it too.. Is it finished ?

mr swagger:

@Amefrica you are NOT disturbing me for any reason. We are all here to help each other. It's good you are asking questions so you won't make mistakes

You are NOT finished oooo. Lol!!! It's not the end of the Road. In any difficult situation there will always be a solution.

And also, I will advice you contact your chosen school first and explain your issue with them. You might be lucky they might NOT need your high school transcript, they might be Satisfied with just your WAEC depending on your grades.

If that doesn't work you can switch to Plan B. I will tell you about that later. Just keep me posted here to know if they will accept.

Cheers bro.

bigfrancis21:

I didn't know. I'll check my mail and reply you soonest. I'm at work now.

fadex56: @bigfrancis, i sent you a mesg bt i avent seen ur reply. Thanks

GboyegaD:

Does he have to explain all that? If I were a VO, I can add to his confussion if he isn't sure since I have his mom's maiden name on my system, I would ask him for a family tree so quick and trust me, he will likely miss it. I think they know our culture is that of family ties as such, we have too many relatives thus, they don't need to ask details.

GboyegaD:

I feel like slapping you hard I swear. Must you teach him English? You sef no try because you could have sent him a personal mail or call him on phone. I read the first part and I'm like this guy don come not knowing that you are just so wicked, delivering judgment without mercy . I am just trying to have some fun ni oooooo.
