Hello house, please can one use his naija ATM card for money order since they have banned naija ATM abroad?

Yes and no.... just go and try it, it seems you can only withdraw $1000 per month

Why not visit the website of the airline directly? Especially Emirates? Emirates is quite a cheap airline to fly with and their website is http://fly4.emirates.com

Tip: flights leaving on Tuesdays or Wednesdays are often the cheapest and most expensive between Fridays and Mondays. It is best to book your flight travel date on a Tuesdays or Wednesdays to get the cheapest deals.

Thanks bro. Please is there any danger purchasing the ticket with all these third parties like bravofly, mytrip.com.The prices seem cheaper than what is on the airline website

Provided you registered on ETS website and have an account with them, just login there and click on print exam ticket or something related to it and you should be able to print it out..

ETS suppose attach a copy to you if you didn't have an account with them but I believe you should have an account with them..
I didn't register directly on the ETS site but I have an account with them. What I did was I printed the form from the ETS website then I filled it then took it to the exam centre at Aba and it was posted to the ETS office. I didn't get any confirmation code or registration number cos I tried printing and I was asked to put either confirmation code or registration number. What do I do?

Hello everyone!

Please I need your help very seriously and urgently.

Please give me answers to these kind of questions;

*if the VO asks a person to explain why the person wants to leave his or her job for a masters degree. Please what would be a cogent reason in respect to this kind of question

* what reason could one give if someone studied civil engineering and now decides to go for masters in petroleum engineering?

We have our own ideas but we want to be safer, so please don't ignore!
Don't get pissed.
Just kindly render a useful advise.


PLENTY GOOD HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE

THANKS EVERYONE

Ok bro, I cannot give you an answer but I can try give some hints.

For your first question, I would like to know where you are working now, a civil engineering or petroleum engineering related company? How long have you been working in that company and/or your capacity as an Engineer there?
*I left a job of 4 years to go for my Masters, so giving you some hints might be worthwhile. Though some others will tell you they left 20 years job for Masters wink

Me:i am going to complete my Barchelors degree in information Technology.

Me:Yes,in the st lucia Campus
Vo:So do you have your Transcript?
Me:Yes i have it with me,would you like to see it?
Vo:Yes please
Me:i passed it,he started looking at it
Vo:so what courses have you been takingg,
Me:i mentioned about 5courses have taken since i started my program.
Vo:No,i meant the courses you took last semester.

Me:4th and my January semester would make it my 5th semester
Vo:ohhh 5th semster
Me:yes
Vo:,okay,so what courses will you be taking next semester?
Me:i listed about 3 IT courses i know i will register for because i dont know what courses i will be taking yet.
Vo:okay so tell me why do you want to transfer from the st lucia canpus to the Newyork and where is this campus?
Me: we have about 4 different campuses,3 if them are located in newyork and the 4th is in st Lucia which am currently enrolled and i am transfering because of my gPA last semester which i was on the presidential list and the school gave an option to every students on both the presidential and Deans List if they would like to transfer and i choose the option to transfer so i can take my major courses on site for better. Understanding and this would also give me the opportunity to meet up with my collegues who we have been working on a project online.
Vo:so why cant you take this courses online? Why do you want to transfer?
Me:this courses are major courses that requires alot of Physical Practicals whereby if i take it on site i will have a better understanding of this course.
Vo:keep typing
Me and i just de pray to God but i don de confused,and i didnt stopped looking at him.
Vo:You would have to reapply,i cant grant your visa at this time,please kindly Reapply when you have Enough Information for me.

Note:Plsss gurus tell me where i went wrong or what information I didn't explain to him in Depth,cos an confused,i think i explained In details alot...But well kindly tell me your opinion about my interview and tell me anything am missing

HAVE ALSO PAID ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FEE I PLANNED TO RE APLLY and is it possible fot me to Get it This Time??And can i get an Emegency Appointment after been denied?....I hope that is a good step?school resume Jan 19 2016

Chai the thing pain me gann cos i just got back from st lucia yesterday from a long flight and this is what i get Denial...But i still believe in God in all Do.

Sorry to read about your denial. My observation in regards to ur own explanation is that you could not give a cogent reason why u wanted a transfer to a U.S. Uni. U need to do a research on the U.S. Uni and get the educational benefit that exist there that ur St. Lucia Uni can't provide for you.
You still have a good opportunity of getting ur application approved.
I wish u all the best in ur next interview.

try and read the GRE thread. You'll get better information. My school had Professional Communication with concentration in Strategic Communication. It's a nice program, and you can get funding. They accept HND or you can search for schools that accept WES and evaluate your OND and HND transcript.

Checkout Minnesota State University (lotta Nigerians there because it is affordable, and they easily offer in-state tuition remission, thus reducing your tuition by half), North Carolina A&T University and University of Texas Austin.
Really, bro? Univ of Texas Austin is easy to get in, and cheap? I take the high ranking to mean it will be extremely competitive to get in.

I was in the US Embassy today and heard a lot of you students during your interviews..... Was not shocked that most were denied because a lot of them were scared and either forgot their recited answers or sounded too much like machines that they knew you had recited it....

Best advice: relax, talk and say the truth.... You don't need to cram, Consular officers are humans too.... And please show you're serious about schooling by applying to more than one university
