flynbird: Can someone please give me a list of sites to book cheap flights to NY(JFK) ? Why on earth would I fly economy in 2weeks time for $4,000 to JFK. Ridiculous!!!..
In between is Thursday/Friday really public holidays? Hope its a joke cos I don't have an ATM card for the account my money is.

Ricky Rozay:

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..

Mystiqme: Getting a relatively cheap flight taking off two weeks from now is a little difficult, and you might have to make the sacrifice of prolonged layovers in order to get cheaper prices.
I found this though.......

flynbird:

Ricky Rozay:

When is your School resuming? Hope u can still meet up.. Why not go with Royal air Maroc.. I think dey are the cheapest u can get for now.. They fly to Morrocco first and then to JFK NewYork...

And you don't need any transit visa when you get to Morrocco.

I got 16th of August yesterday for Royal Air maroc. But didn't bother booking anymore because I got other plans....

webstradamus:

Have you gotten a flight yet?

Ricky Rozay:

Yes I got a flight but Won't be going for the Fall anymore.. I intend going for spring 2014.. So will defer my admission to Spring to allow me enough time to Plan ahead..

There are so many things for me to settle before leaving for the US, so I'm trying to be mindful so I won't fall out of status when I get to the US..

But will be jetting out by First week of December bro, So by then I will take advantage of the very low cost of Flight ticket when I book down in advance.....

onuawuchi: I'm posting on this thread for the first time. I'd like to know my chance of getting into a graduate school in the states for a Masters degree in economics with this profile:

Bsc Economics 3.98/5.0 (2005)
GRE: V 145: Q 151 ( I know its a low one. I think I was tricked on my gre. Wrote three sections for Quantitative,instead of two: Computer error I suppose)
Work Experience: 2008-date

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

kofsy:
No you were not tricked. There's usually an experimental section; which could either be verbal or quantitative. I guess yours was quantitative.

Complete that.

bones007: House! pls is there any restriction on the kind of food stuff i can bring to US?

worry 359:
YOU could have looked this up yourself on Google!!!!

US Food Restrictions

When entering the United States from Mexico or Canada, travelers may bring bakery items and some types of cheese across the border without worrying about being inspected. Other items that are generally accepted include packaged coffee, tea, condiments and spices, among others. Refrain from bringing rice across the border; according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's border patrol website, rice can harbor unwanted insects. Other banned items include meat products; some exceptions do apply. In many cases, you cannot bring foreign fruits and vegetables.
