They don't anymore. Seems Sanusi compelled Nigerian banks to bear the cost of "off us" transaction fees.

I think he was referring to the charges of the bank abroad you're using to withdraw. Or don't US banks charge for ATM withdrawals?

Is that not how it's been for ages? Or it's the starting point that just changed?

Yea. Its the lower end that was changed or lowered rather from 2.50 to 2.40. The upper limit of 3.49 remains the same.

I dispute this. My undergrad CGPA was 3.68/5.00 and after WES evaluation, it came out as 3.29/4.00

Reduced I guess.

It increased!! 3.29 is high. 3.68/5.00 is 73.6% and 3.29/4.00 is 82.3%. That's almost 10% increase in CGPA. Wonderful! cool cool

I don't think it is nice advicing people how to go about writing the exam as each individual would have to use his or her skills in the best way they can. They are no kids and must have been writing exams in the past.
N.B: It is only an opinion of mine oooooo.

Believe me that's the only way to beat time in reading.It's still open.

It is possible and I agree with you but I just feel everyone has his/her style. Truth is I don't believe in telling people what and how to read since I feel it may not be the ideal way for them.

No problem with it. You can still use †hat †̥o apply for visa. Just that you need †̥o work hard in school after getting your visa.

khadee92: please how do i apply for emergency appointment

Before you can opt for an emergency appointment, you must first get a regular date and ensure you are eligible. The rule states that you aint eligible if you have been denied a visa in the last 6 month.

After getting a regular date, you will see the 'emergency appointment' on the left corner of the page, click on it and you will be requested to upload your I-20 form and sevis I-901 receipt. You also have a space to state why you are opting for an emergency appointment.

You will be contacted after few days if approved, you will have to cancel the regular date you already scheduled and reschedule to an earlier date.

For more details, call this number 234-94601748 or send an email to this address: lagoscons2@state.gov

Hope this helps...

@JEK12, conditional admission is not really okay, but you may want to try your luck. Pray that the VO does not request to see your "Admission Letter" or look deeply at your I-20. Wishing you the best of luck!

yomisley: if school did not require teofl ,sat e.t.c. is it adviceable to pay school fee part payment can someone advice me which step to take. i just want to apply to vermont state university . can someone just guide me through these whole things . thanks nairalanders

NO Sir. NEVER make any commitment to any school by depositing part payment of your tuition fee as this is not a Prerequisite to getting a US VISA..

The US system is far different from the UK system where you will need to make deposit to your school before applying for your Visa.

The US Embassy strongly advice prospective students wishing to study in the US never to make any commitment to any school until you have procured your Visa..


So the best thing for you is to apply for admission in the school, get admitted and get your admission letter and i-20 from the school and apply for your visa.. Simple!!!!

Look for a school that doesn't require tuition deposit as prerequisite to getting your i-20 package from them..

As US visa issurance is NOT guaranteed. whether you make part payment of tuition fee or full payment...

Your case will be treated the same way with those that didn't make any tuition deposit.. So no preferential treatment for people who paid tuition deposit.. And morever the US Embassy won't even know you made tuition deposit...

AFTER getting your Visa, you can go ahead to make your tuition deposit to the school whether part or full....

Hope this helps..

Cheers..

Your equivalent should be somewhere around 3.10/4.00 to 3.20/4.00 on the 4-point scale.

Good afternoon Justwise.
I am starting studies in the UK in September this year. After my studies I intend relocating to The US to "hustle" for a while. What are the chances of applying for a visa to Canada and working there for a while, from the UK without necessarily coming back to Nigeria first? Since I will be a student visitor in the UK, are there restrictions on whether I can apply for a visa and relocate to Canada straight from the UK? I will need your advice please. Please I have asked this question on the Canada Thread with respect to Canada - I want to compare both procedures and make a better and informed choice. Thank you.

linux28: pls. can someone help to provide schpoll that dont require sat or toefl for admission.

I have told you several times to take the SAT exam.. Why are u guys running away from Standarlized test.. It won't kill you rather it would make you stronger. If you eventually get a school that doesn't require SAT or TOEFL for admission you will DEFINATELY need it at the US Embassy..

You have to oblige with the Embassy rule NOT the School rule.. The US Embassy will judge at the moment of your interview whether you stay back in nigeria or proceed to the US. So it is better you satisfy them by giving them what they want which is taking Standarlized test... Taking Standarlized test is a prerequisite to procuring your US student Visa.. Because they use this standarlized test to measure your academic ability..

You will shoot urself on the foot if you don't take any standarlized test because when you eventually go for your interview, when the VO ask you for your SAT score report and you give them stories, You will be DENIED the US Student visa straight to the point without any exceptions...

SAT is not expensive na.. If you can't afford to take TOEFL, why not take just SAT alone... SAT is #14,175... It is way cheaper than TOEFL.. And you will have to get the preparations materials to Ace it... You can get the materials from someone here OR you buy online on www.amazon.com

That's where I bought my SAT materials.. I even bought 2 text books online and it was sent directly to my home and I prepared with those materials and I prepared well for the SAT and i aced the exam.. When I went for my Visa interview, the first document the VO asked from me is;

Where are your SAT score report?...

And I gave it to her and I got my visa... Assuming I was unable to provide my SAT score report to her she would have DENIED me right at that point. And I will start running up and down on how to apply for Visa again with another visa fee of #26,400 and calculate the money and stress and all, you will see that it is of Much more suffering to yourself and you will be traumatized, and also with many things running on your head facing the DENIAL you had at the Embassy, when one would have easily obliged with the Rule and write the Standalized test for just #14,175 with no worries..

So please bro help yourself.. The next SAT is October.. Which is in 2 months time.. This is already close. So Registration for the SAT starts first week of next month.. So act fast. If you intend going for spring, then I guess there is still much time for you to prepare towards achieving your aim..

Hope this useful tips also helps other prospective students that don't intend taking standarlized test..

Cheers bro...
