@justwise, hello house.
I know dis may not be the right place to bring up this question,but I can't find where to drop this question. Since there are so many nairalanders studying in the States and I am aspiring to study in the States, I guess I have to ask my question here. I have a GPA of 2.45 in engineering. I want to do a Masters in Engineering. Most of the Universities i want to study at (particularly some institution at carlifornia,b'cos i've got relations in carlifornia. The idea is to stay at their place and go to school) are requesting for an average GPA of 3.0. What do I do, how do I apply to do a PGD in these universities,has anybody had this kind of issue b4 and how did they overcome. This opportunity presenting is only for this schools within sacramento and east bay.Please, I need advice and help to go about this issue before the closing of the admission for spring reaches. Thank you.

2.4 is a very low GPA brother needs to help himself.

VisaOfficer:


There's a very simple solution. If you ask us to return your passport, we will; and then when you come to Nigeria this summer, you can do your interview then. You won't have to pay additional fees, as you have a year from the start of your application to come see us.

We do need to interview you in person before your case can be processed, and we don't make exceptions for people who sent their passports to Nigeria with a relative even though they knew that the dropbox is solely for Nigerians who are physically present in Nigeria. At some point, you're going to have to come talk to us.

The fact that you have a pending immigration petition does not matter to us all that much. It's perfectly okay to be a student visa holder and have a pending immigration petition. That fact is really irrelevant to your case, especially considering you've already received a student visa from us. I see people on these forums writing that you can't have both and that you're going to get in trouble, and that just highlights to me why it's a bad idea to ask for specific legal advice from the general public instead of, for instance, asking a Visa Officer.*

Based on what you've written here, and given that you have an open student visa renewal application, it's doubtful that you would qualify for parole.

*No offense to all the good people who are offering each other advice and encouragement. It's just that every once in a while there's some misinformation out there.

Yes your CGPA is low, but you can always get schools that fit your profile. I would say write your GRE/TOEFL and try to get really good scores, get good letters of recommendation, SOP etc. Those enhance your profile. Research and focus on Mid to Low Tier Universities, and don't limit yourself to a particular state. Good luck!

squash1986:

@biikeys.Thank you to reply to my post. Carlifornia is the State I was asked to concentrate on as I mentioned earlier, I have relations in that State. Please,if you are very conversant with American Universities Carlifornia State University Sacramento, San Francisco State University, Carlifornia State University East Bay are they Mid to Low Tier Universities or does anybody have any knowledge about these universities cos these are universities I've been limited to apply to. Thank you.

Hiding pregnancy before VO is an offense to the eyes. She should be honest and go through proper route for giving birth in United States.

Yes, applying for visa on time is advantageous and the embassy encourages it.

Also, you may wait for that person to become a full-citizen before filing for you. But if you cannot wait, you may just hold go ahead with him.

Sis, I am not saying that it is you because it might be another person.

Being a citizen means jumping queue and also not on first-come, first-serve basis with PR.

PR means you have to be on the queue and it takes quite long to get to your turn.

zeezahbee:
its not so early to apply because my roomie graduated last December and her family had gotten their visa like way back in October. The embassy even support you to apply early incase of denial or any processing. So they are free to apply in Feb as long as they have the school IV and yours as well. As for your sister , she shouldn't talk about her pregnancy if she's not asked. Once she get her visa, she could email the embassy telling them about her plans of coming for your graduation and also having her baby, as long as she can foot the hospital bills, she should be fine

foohard:
Oh.. When I say hide, I didnt mean to hide the pregnancy but to hide from appearing alone since she was denied recently.

VisaOfficer:


Yes! Yes! Yes! Good job, bigfrancis21!

But there's no need to discuss this at length by phone or otherwise. A succinct e-mail to LagosNIV@state.gov arranging to have the passport returned will suffice.

bigfrancis21:


Thank you for the commendation, VisaOfficer.

Peeps, Compliment of the season. Does anyone know someone that attends Murray State University in Kentucky? Kindly help as this is urgent and important. Thanks!

Bro, I got extension letter from the graduate cordinator permitting me to arrive school 20th of Jan. Please, would there be my issues at the POE? What do I tell them?

Walspring:
I deferred my application last month and today i got a mail from a school sending me new updated I-20.

Dunno if its summer or fall

My prayer is that God should see me through this year 2015.

bigfrancis21:


No. That's not a problem at all. By obtaining the letter you've officially extended your resumption date from that on your I20 to that on the letter. On arrival at the POE, present the border official with your letter of extension and you will be fine.

You need not worry.

Hi People,

My graduation is May 5, and I want to invite my siblings. I got letter from school and would write mine.. My concern is, one of my siblings want to come in before the graduation (she is pregnant, due before graduation and want to deliver here) say like February but she want to hide under the long list of others. I dont want her to appear alone so soon again because she was denied late last year when I invited her alone (I sensed it is due to lack of travel history but she visited France after the denial and just returned). Can they appear at the embassy like first week in February for an event that would hold on the 5th of May? Is it too early? please advice.
