So what did you score in the TOEFL test? Like I said, GRE is changing soon. The present materials, which I have, might no longer be suitable.

AROY RELEASE THE MATERIAL U HV N STOP BEHAVING LIKE A FOOL!!!!

teachme

When I first saw your previous post, I though I should recommend 1000mg of Tegretol (CR) for you. But on a 2nd thought, I realized that you can not be cured because lunacy resulting from excessive drug usage just has no cure!

@GboyegaD

Where in Texas are you going to ??

Calculate how much you will spend from Naija to NY and NY to TX and weigh it against flying straight from Naija to TX.

Check for fares and book directly @ the airlines' website (BA, KLM, Delta, Lufth, Emirates etc) , forget about wakanow and other agents.

Emirates might be your best bet but be ready to fly for 24hours, half way across the world (Naija to Dubai and Dubai to Houston).

Dunno much about Royal air Maroc, had a friend who used it and he had a "not very pleasant" experience.

That would be after your interview. From past issue like this, you have to have transferable credit in your school in chicago before you can be allowed to cross. Those guys in the system can explain better sa.

imperiouxx:

kaycome, I have the old materials for GRE if you need them. Aroy1, I won't mind getting the new materials too if you have them.

Good morning Imperiouxx,
I would appreciate if you could assist with the GRE materials you have. Kindly forward them to ebun_bose@yahoo.com. She intends writing the exam later this year.
Thank you,

Thanks for your reply.
Is it compulsory for me to attend the first sch before transferring to a college

@Nairaspace,very possible. He's d guy in counter 4. He interviewed me. I also taught he was Nigerian eventho he was speaking phonee. Ofcourse trust, his denial rate ws ridiculously high. He had this almost i-go-deal-with-all-of-una-today mischevious grin.

@ house!!!,@imperiouxx,@tonytone, I av been confirmed d next to Texas!!!!!!! I got my green tag @ the  Lagos embassy yesterday. You can call it d best or d easiest interview ever on dis thread. I have been absent from office for 2days,so i need to take care of d accumulated works. I will surely share my experience later.
finally, i am writing my own story in golden ink. Thank God! Aliamdulillah kesiran

congrats to funsho nd Gboye. Wishing all oda applicants a successful outing.

next2_TX, Congratulation!!!!!!
Pls share your experience. My interview is also coming up soon. I believe I'll share my own testimony on here soon. For everyone who is going for intervew soon pls pray and there is nothing impossible for God. It's well IJN

I got my visa at Lagos Consulate
My news is no longer new as Gboyeda has already informed you guys about the outcome of my interview but I think is ideal I share my experience.
I woke up 4:20 am and started arranging my document (don’t mind me I did this that morning, is cos I work more effectively closer to deadline)
Got there by 6:40am, did all the protocols. While waiting, I was enjoying the niaja-american guy wey just dey dash people visa, I was like this guy is cool. I didn’t see who was in counter 1 but I believe it would that lady so much talked about; that denied people without traveling experience. I was like hmm… God direct my path to whoever is going to issue me my visa because the system is so organized such that your tag number appears at a particular VO counter, so you don’t have any option
I don’t know what would happen when your number is called by the VO and you don’t respond to the call by the VO.
Then my number appeared at counter 1, when I got there, I was like you today, I don enter 1 chance today, God help as I have never traveled out of the Nigeria before. I Seme border that I go self, I no collect visa.

VO: can I have your document?
Me: pass them across as package after the biometrics

VO: Why are you going to the US
VO: I going to the US to study for my master degree

VO: Why do you want to study in the US?
Me: The quality of education in the US can never be overemphasized, as any certificate obtained there will mostly meet any requirements in any other part of the world especially in Nigeria. Also America take the lead when it comes to IT as most groundbreaking innovation that have stormed IT industry have emanated from the USA and I would like to study in an environment like that

VO: How did you learn about the school?
Me: I learned about the school we I was reading an Information System journal published by a professional body which I belong and came across an article by a Prof…, who is a from the school, so I Google the name of the school and was quite amazed by the depth and knowledge of the program
At some point while was talking she was busy with her computer and not listening but I continue to express myself.
Then when I finished, she asked

VO: Did you apply to any other school?
Me: Yes

VO: So how many school did you apply to and which admitted you?
Me: 3, then I named them

VO: Which other one admitted you?
Me: University of Bridgeport

VO: Where is that one located?
ME: Connecticut

VO: Ok, so why did you applied to the other school then?
Me: Since I had decided I was to study for my master degree, I didn’t want to take chances, so I spread my options

VO: Does Bridgeport offer Computer major?
ME: Yes

VO: Of all the school in the US, why did you chose this school?
Me: (I thought for some second then I remember) I chose the school because it has a great faculty, flexible- practical-oriented course curriculum that seek to emphasis real business need and address real life IT solution

VO: There are more 50 states in the US why did you choose to study in this state?
Me: The state is known for good quality education, the school has the highest graduation and retention rate, which is an indication of student satisfaction in their studies. Also there are very religious people in the state. It is quite a relax environment, free from all those city distractions, I feel I will be able to concentration better in that kind of environment.

VO: Do you know anyone in the US?
Me: No

VO: Do you know anyone in the school?
Me: No

VO: Who is sponsoring your education?
Me: My father

VO: Can I have his statement
Me: Passed it across

VO: Went through it
Me: I was chilling for the next question

VO: When did you graduated from the University and what have you been doing?
Me: I graduated 2006, and proeeded for the mandatory NYSC programme which I completed in 2008. Since then I have worked in three different place in three different role, first as an…….and now as an IS Support Officer

VO: (Looking on the computer screen) Did you study Computer Science?
Me: No, I studied Computer Engineering in OAU

VO: Which area does your company specialize and what do you do there?
Me: It a manufacturing coy, I work as the IS Support Officer as most operation of the coy is automated; I am responsible for the network infrastructure……….
(At some point while I was talking I just tire so I stutter. I sha manage to finish wetin I dey talk)

VO: Which area of IT area are you going to specialize
Me: An aspect of IS known as E-commerce where……

Now came the dread question
VO: Have you even traveled out of Nigeria before?
Me: No, I have never had any reason to do so, but it is very important I do now because of the program


VO: What are your plans after graduation?
Me: I will like to work for some time in a multination coy……. Then start my own coy…. to offer …… in Nigeria

VO: Area you single or married?
Me: Am single
I asked her: Will you marry me? (Just kidding)

VO: Which course are you going to take under this programme
Me: Mention about seven of them

VO: Did you test any test, let me have the result
Me: Yes, passed across the result

VO: She said ok, picked a white paper and said am going to issued you the visa, pick it up at Lekki……
Me: Thank you.

I don’t think I said anything especial but I was well conducted, answered all the question spontaneously without even waiting a second the moment she ended each question cos I was prepared and I was audible enough and she listening almost all the answer and noting point with a red pen on a paper.
Almightily, I believed in God

My advice is do not get yourself too bothered about the duration. Just go with the mind that you are getting it. The more you get yourself worried the more you get tensed when you get to the interview. Therefore, assume all boldness and be confident enough to attend the interview.
