syahboy: Your statement proves how unequivocally naïve you are. You obviously havent heard of the likes of UT Austin, UC-Berkeley, TAMU etc, try and do a little research and stop boring us with your small mindedness.

Thanks.

Let me just say I agree with your opinion syahboy, but (not to stop the flow or anything) allow me to correct this. Tochium exhibited closed-mindedness, not small mindedness.

Let us correct/inform each other in love. There was a time in our past when we didn't know as much as we do today. It's actually uncivilised to be abusive. "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"- Plato

Syahboyo and house, I tried registering for my GRE with my GTB naira master card today and the dude on the other end kept saying transaction declined. Should I try visa card or is master card acceptable?

Ur statement seems vague sir. Studying English or Studying in English? There are many types of English programs in d US at Undergrad and Grad level. Is it ESL, TESOL, Linguistics, Literature and/or Language? Let us know what aspect of Egl u are going for before fashioning out ways for u to walk tall before the VO.

@Ricky and everyone,

Gat info about transferring immediately you arrive US..... READ checkout the link.


Initial Status Transfer

If you arrive at a US school from abroad and decide to immediately transfer you must first report to the school listed on your Form I-20. The School DSO should activate your SEVIS record and transfer it to the new school you plan on attending.


Travel During Transfer Process

If you plan on leaving the country during the transfer process keep in mind that you must reenter with a Form I-20 for the school that holds your active or initial record. So travel must be either:

Started and completed before the transfer release date with an active Form I-20 from the transfer-out school
Started and completed after the transfer release date with an initial Form I-20 from the transfer-in school

TO PROSPECTIVE GRE AND TOEFL TEST
TAKERS:
It is no longer a hidden fact that GRE and
TOEFL test takers in Nigeria cannot register
for the test online. Even someone registering
on your behalf from abroad is banned once
the test taker would still be writing in Nigeria.
Well, I have good news for you. Are you
aware that you could still register for the
exam by yourself, fast and at the lower
official ETS test fee? All you need to do is
simply call ETS and register! Its that simple.
Just as you can call to schedule a visa
appointment, so can you call to register for
your GRE/TOEFL test! If saving money is
your priority, rather than wasting N50,000
needlessly on GRE agents and enriching their
bank accounts when you could simply do it
yourself at the cheaper official GRE price of
$185(N29600) or at $175(N28,000) for
TOEFL, then this option is best for you.
To register, you'll need the following:
1) Your GRE account login details on the ETS
website. If you don't have an account
already, quickly visit http://www.ets.org/gre
to create your account. For TOEFL, you'll
need your TOEFL account login details on
the ETS website. If you don't have an
account already, quickly visit http://
www.ets.org/toefl to create your account.
2) A valid GTB MasterCard. I can't really
vouch for other types of debit cards because
I've not used them before. However, I'm sure
of GTB MasterCard because it never fails to
work. Take note of the 16-digit card number
printed on the front of the card, the expiry
date (month and year) also embossed on the
front of the card and lastly, the c.v.v code,
which is the 3-digit code printed on the back
of your ATM card. Have these details handy
because you'll need to provide them to the
agent to enable them make the payment over
there for you. Of course, I need not remind
you that you must have funds of, at least,
the registration fee amount in your account
for a successful payment.
After you must have done the above, then
you're ready to go. Call the ETS Registration
Center on +31320239593 . That is the phone
number of the ETS Registration center or
Region 9 located in Netherlands and it is the
ETS center, out of the 12 regional registration
centers worldwide, in charge of registering
Nigerians for TOEFL and GRE. Once you call,
you'll hear the voice prompt and wait to be
connected to the next available customer
agent. Once you're connected, the agent will
ask you for your login details which will
enable him log into your account and register
you over there by himself.
First, you'll be asked for these details - first
name, middle name, surname, address, date
of birth, phone number, email address,
preferred test center number and test date.
Second, comes the payment stage. At this
stage you'll provide the agent with your ATM
card details to enable him/her key in the
data and make the payment himself. Once
successful, you'll be told by the agent and
also receive an email immediately containing
your examination e-ticket.
PS: Be sure to recharge, at least, N750 credit
on your phone as you'll be spending some
good quality time on the call (15-20
minutes).
Please, this is in no way a scam but rather,
its one of the valid means of registering for
the GRE or TOEFL test as you'll see stated on
the ETS website:
http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/
register/cbt/
http://www.ets.org/toefl/ibt/register?
WT.ac=toeflhome_ibtregister_121127
However, only a few people know about this
easy and cheap means. Two noble members
from this forum registered successfully on
Friday and this morning after telling them
about it.
Success.

bigass: Hello house. My friend has interview at the Lagos consulate tomorrow but her bag containing her passport was stolen this afternoon. Kindly advise her.

JFK12: Pls house,how many days does it take NIPOST to deliver docs to US schools ? Tnx in anticipation

mine took 14 to 20 days.... but I was scared along the way because they told me it will only take 10 working days.
I used NIPOST registered mail

Feexo: Syahboyo and house, I tried registering for my GRE with my GTB naira master card today and the dude on the other end kept saying transaction declined. Should I try visa card or is master card acceptable?

Thanks....

Put a call through and use ANY recognised card sir.

To those thinking of a transfer without attending first semester in the school on their visa,

Do not inform your original school of your intent to transfer before you enter the US... Make sure you are here already before informing them, because some schools will cancel your i20 before you get to the POE.

I transferred to a cheaper school immediately after i got here without attending the first semester in my original school.

However, to do this perfectly without no hassles or repercussion, make sure you follow the necessary steps. A certain school even cancelled my friend's i20 even after getting here just because they didn't want to release him. His new school had to start a reinstatement process for him.

PM me if you need more explanation on this.

Ms Nas: Oya o. Lemme do the chronicles of my travel like other people too did it
Journey started Lagos.


There, we met another Nigerian who was on the same flight with us from Nigeria but going to chicago. She saw me log into NL, and she was like, do you know this place? I said yes. She was like ooooh, I read it too. What's your monicker? Is it flynbird? Looooool. I tell am say no be me be flying bird oo.

Lool... Why me nau?

Glad you enjoyed your trip. I've been busy lately, wanted to meet you before you left Ibadan. Didn't know you'll be flying soon .

imperiouxx:

Yesterday I got the idea of how much sim cost again when I was about cutting my sim from normal to micro sim. The highest T mobile was just $4 + $30 or $50 plan rate (on T-mobile site is $10 + $30 or $50 plan rate). So where is the $50 on sim? Moreover, prepaid will drive you

Told you to relax, get to where you're going, the next day go to Walmart, get any sim or paid phone. Don't tell me they will be worried because you left for America and haven't called them just for 2 days.

Ok Sir! Does the plan include long distance calls? Or I'll have to get a special plan for long distance calls?
I read on another thread (Student life in USA) that prepaid is better off than others so I was kinda confused.
