ystd4567: @chatdare,

I have read some where on this forum where someone shared his/her F1 undergraduate interview experience in which he/she was asked if he/she wrote NECO. So, I THINK the VO should have no problem with your NECO. Also, alongside with your NECO make sure you write/present a standardised test, which in your case is SAT & TOEFL. Your standardised test would show/portray you to the VO as a serious student who has a clear intent to study in the United States.

I don't know much about undergraduate study. However, Its not your SAT that determines if you write TOEFL or not. Its your school. Some schools demand TOEFL from Nigerians and some schools don't. Its left to you to visit your school's website and see if TOEFL is required from Nigerians. Which, if so, you may have to write it.

Another option to not writing the TOEFL is writing to the school requesting for a TOEFL waiver. This you'll email to your school. I don't know if this also applies to undergraduates but this is an option many prospective graduate students utilize to get the TOEFL requirement off their list.

The skool am abt to apply to doesn't require sat and toefl for Nigerian undergraduate student. Did I still need to write any standardized test to show the vo at the embassy ?

bodeplot: @Amefrica......Please do Toefl since u have the money to do it and blast it... it might come in handy....all the best

Search schools yourself that suites what you want, his choice might not be your choice and this will also justify you as student and not an immigrant .

babsharon: Good Morning house,

Please am trying to register for TOEFL online but getting to the payment page, is not accepting my visa card. can somebody who has passed through the stages explain how to go about it.
Thanks.

Amefrica:

i'm not getting sometin here ? What does immigration av to do with student ?! Oh! Do you mean, i can gain citizenship after finishin my studies ?

Oh lord!!! I'm actually rolling on the bed while typing this dude, your questions are funny

You are putting the cart before the horse... Pls take one step at a time... Go write the SAT as they have said + the TOEFL(if you have the means)... But don't unfollow this thread, keep coming here from time to time to keep tab of people's comments, questions, and possible solutions to challenges. I bet you by the time you are through with your SAT, you would have become a GURU yourself.

This is what I've been doing for the past one month, and I can 'categorically' tell you that I've learned a lot from my ogas at the top here, and no agent can exploit me or tell me what is not when it comes to registering for standardized exams, applying to the right schools, paying my application fee, paying for SEVIS, booking an appointment with the embassy, preparing for the visa interview, getting the cheapest airline to travel with, dealing with immigration at the POE, and eventually getting to my school.

I must confess, I'm no longer the same person that opened this thread for the first time on the 11 of April...

@2-chains. I understand your emphasis on confidence, but there are things you can't simply take for granted. I'm sure you can reel out stories of confident folks who got their visas despite showing up before the VO bare-chested. You’re applying for an F-1 visa, and the VO believes at least that school has passed through you. Would you defend your thesis on t-shirt, papa’s cap and 3/4 shorts? Accord the process some respected; those minutes you spend with the VO could be the defining point of your life. My pair of suits would never forgive me if I fail to call it up on such an important day. If you don't have suits, a nice starched shirt with a decent tie would just do.

Big francis !!! GTB Mastercard is not working ooo. I have tried it, just tired

On a first thought, I was surprised when you mentioned that you were trying to register TOEFL online. To the best of my knowledge, you can't register for TOEFL and GRE Online if you'd be writing in Nigeria. Even someone registering for you from abroad on your behalf is also not allowed once the test taker will still be writing in Nigeria. Each time I get messages like these on this thread about online TOEFL registration, I get surprised.

However, the good news is that you could still register for the test yourself by simply calling ETS. Just as you can call ETS to register for GRE, you can also call them to register for TOEFL. Read my previous post. The same steps that apply to the GRE also apply if you'll be registering for the TOEFL.

I am certain that you can register for TOEFL online at www.ets.org/toefl.
I registered for mine online using a visa card.
That was just 2months ago.
