Hey guys I really appreciate ur responses and say thank u all for enlightening me d more. To the questions ask, am going in for B.Sc, have written TOEFL which I believe is one of the standardised text. Secondly am being sponsored by my dad and want to claim that am assisting in his company. But where my fear is d working stuff, and d reason been that when I first applied I filled that am not currently working, and if I sud fill is that am working won't it contradicts or cause any confusion I.e if they refer to d old form.

And pls ao can I get a copy of study leave letter?

imperiouxx: ^^^ pay slip isn't necessary if he's self sponsor.

What of if he is working under his sponsor company (mother), did he/she still need pay slip, Id card and appointment letter?

Don't get you bro, pay slip is not necessary if he's self sponsor or if he's not self sponsor.

That was written at my bed time. The last part of your statement is what I mean. "pay slip isn't necessary if he's not self sponsor"


If he's self sponsor, it's a necessary as back up.

Hello House,
Apart from campus can someone get job outside the school with F1 visa.

rsksoccer2: Hello House,
Apart from campus can someone get job outside the school with F1 visa.

Yes and No.

Yes because the work is there but your SSN states clearly that only work under authorization of DHS which means only on campus.

No because you won't want to be on your way back home after being caught working outside authorization of DHS (off campus).

Mind you, intern is off campus but such is granted during breaks and a proper documentation must be kept.

Majority of international students usually get their jobs after their first semester. Reason is because before your arrival, those old students would have applied for the available positions. This is different for the graduates on GA..... GA is ready made employment.... just get to US and resume work.

First and foremost, what course you wanna study and the school(s) you are opting for...? Answers to the questions say a lot on your chances.

The scores + gpa can get you admission to some Unis in the US but defintely not the top-notch Unis and to be frank, the score is too low to compete for aid. I don't know the skills or working experiences you've accrued over years. Perhaps that can compliment the low scores and hopefully, you get the aid.

Advice: If you are bent on getting aid before leaving Naija, can you retake GRE? Or you just get the admission, perform excellently in your first semester and you might get the scholarship then. GETTING IT ALONGSIDE YOUR ADMISSION IS BETTER...

All the best

Ermm...sir, tell that 'ur friend' to chk this out:
Bold 1: really, d cgpa is low, but u never can tell. After WES conversion, pray it falls between 2.5/4. The implication of this is that he might need to look for schools that accept a cgpa of 2.5 for admission.

Bold 2: I think that would be better. He's got no choice. +Ur friend should just forget about top notch schools o.

Bold 3: no one will do that for u sir, tell him to embrace google. www.usnews.com can help u on that. Afterwards, he should get a good SOP, brilliant LOR, then shoot! GA/TA depends on those most times.

On the whole, since he is 'ur friend', tell him to join this thread himself. Don't give him fish, teach him how to fish sir. Possibilities lie in being active. Let him put patience and vigour in his quest. He will be fine.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by obotubong: 11:10am On Oct 16, 2013
my ogas in the house, the school i applied to sent me my i20 indicating my program as liberal art and sciences but when i applied, i applied for criminal justice, me just confuse oo cos i don't even no wat is liberal not to talk of art and science undecided. i have been researching steady online cos i guess i have to defend it to the vo as if dats wat i really want. the only good news about it is dat i guess its only NOUN dat offers it in niaja grin so it wud be a good reason to want to go study it in yankee.

Yes I have sent him the link to this thread this morning. If anyone on here knows any averagely ranked schs that accept 2.5 cgpa, letting me me kw the sch names isn't bad. I have limited knowledge abt m.sc cos I am going for b.sc.
