Hey house,

Why don't ppl talk about California on here? Is anything wrong with Cali?

Nothing wrong with CA. I guess you're rich and you're from Abuja or Lagos.

You want to come and start your own revolution abi?

I think you don't like to get the visa.

"Thank you for your interest to work in my group. My limitation is that the large number of current students and low level of funding from the industry, hence I won't be able to provide financial support (RA). There may be opportunity for TA, but the competition is keen."

1.is tuition gonna be taken care of?
2. What is d cost difference between ta and ra?

In fact na everybody I call

In most schools, GA = TA or RA. Therefore, you get the same benefits if it's official i.e comes from the grad school (Check the school to see what's offer e.g tuition waiver or instate tuition and stipend). Both cover only four semesters (2 years), inasmuch you register for at least 9 credit hours/semester. Nothing special about anyone of them. One of the major difference is that for RA you, can start fully immediately depending on the skills you're bring into the position but for TA, you might have restrictions because of your accent.

Unofficial is when a prof promises you a RA position in his lab/office, such that he's the one paying you directly from his grant. Certainly, this won't be applied towards your tuition. Officially, they switched me between RA and TA when I was doing my ms but I remained RA throughout (i.e during the semester and breaks) because I was working on my research and publications.

So, from his email, there may be TA (usually official) from the grad school and it's competitive...... this is the norms.

This has been explained in a previous post....and i am too lazy to retype

The only thing i can add, inlight of the recent happening with Indian students been refused entry back after a holiday . Make sure the "another uni " is an accredited and not under the table School. .....i would even recommend starting the change after you cross POE so u dont hear story. Just go early at least within 30 days , cross and then initiate the change

Joking apart, I have a terrible critical reading skill which made my GRE verbal score suffer. That explains why I couldn't fathom the gists of brightify's message and yours, or maybe the messages were actually intended for an informed person. I really need this help.
Again, the issue is I got Visa to go to GSU Atlanta, but I wanna enroll at CSU Ohio for the same Fall entry. How do I proceed? Please, in a simple language. I am a johny-come-lately on the amazing thread.

Hello I escorted my mum to the airport 3weeks ago as JJC travellers we parted with like 4k to arrange luggages so as not exceed the flight weight minimum. I really didn't understand what they actually did....but I know they did a fast one.

Boss, I don't want to go down that lane. I am using Qatar and I will only be travelling with a box and my hand luggage(won't be carrying any food or extra load).

Is there a minimum weight?

How can I check before it's weighed by the airline staff.

Thanks

Bro which date?? I'm using Qatar too

Are you going to attend your interview with these answers written on pieces of paper?
If you are so uncertain the trained VO will see straight through and suspect your motivation.

Unless you get things clear in your head to give simple and honest answers you will be rejected.

This news I am hearing about Baton Rouge not good

What makes the US unique but please be careful not to over-emphasize it otherwise you end up getting 214(b).

Read previous interview scripts.

Bethlehem08:
My visa was approved on tuesday.I'm really very sorry for posting this late transcript. While i was celebrating the victory i broke my phone screen.I had to fix it first so i could be able to access nairaland as i didnt even remember my p/w.
The grace of the almighty God was at work in my life that fateful day. I have been following nairaland since february. I started reading from thread6 and when it was time to start my application,there was no need to start asking any questions as i have gained alot.

Fastforward to the day of my interview. I did all the necessary stuffs,biometrics and all. I was on the queue and i heard STEP FORWARD PLS. There was this particular VO that was on a denying streak that day. He didnt waste any time at all and was very quick to say sorry your visa has been denied.He denied the young girl before me even as her mum talked and talked to convince the VO. He beckoned and i stepped forward.

V.O Good Morning

Me Good afternoon sir

V.O Oh! that's true. Good afternoon

V.O Ok now. Just tell me your name,when u finished high school,your plans,where you're going,your course and evrything i need to know
just keep talking.

Me *at this point my confidence level dropped drastically cos i wasnt expecting all those questions at a stretch* My name is bleep.I finished my high school in 2003. I did a year diploma program in computer studies at the computer science dept of OAU. Between 2006-2008 i went to the maritime academy of nigeria for a two year diploma program in nautical science. I embarked on an Industrial training for a year at a shipping company. After the IT i started working with them as a full staff. I Will be going for a Bsc program in computer science at the university of minessota *Mind u, my voice was shaking all thru and i was stuttering. I lost my composure and had already given up*

V.O How long have u been working.

Me Five years as an assistant database administrator *he shook his head and gave me a stern look*

V.O Who's going to pay for your education.

Me My dad. i come tell am wetin my papa dey do.

V.O Congrats. your visa has been approved *at this point i became deaf* i grabbed the white paper and dashed out.

I didnt believe it.it was like a dream.while i was on the BRT i kept checking my bag if it was the blue paper cos i knew there was nothing i said or did that impressed the VO. God just favored me. He didnt ask about the school,course or if i wrote any standardized test(i wrote only TOEFL tho). I thought my age would be a red flag as i'm 29yrs old.

There was a time someone here said nigerians always attribute their success to an invisible being. No vex brother, but some of us here dont trust in our own power. GOD IS REAL.
i surrendered everything to him and i was not put to shame.
WHY NOT TRY GOD

congrats bro...more grace of God to speak for you in Jesus name.. Am encourage

Tried it on my expired, new passport and the visa's in there it worked. Download ID scanner powered by blink OCR ... It might take later with old passports like 2-3 mins of scanning and I think it also depends on the sharpness of your camera.

Aight man. About that CMB stuff, I will get back to you by CoB tomorrow.

Happy new week guys

Imperioux has answered you succinctly. RA,GA<TA all come with full tuition waiver from most schools plus a nice stipend. If you are going for PhD it will be better to search for funding in the department you are applying for. I really dont know how it works but the main thing is if you have set your sights on funding, you should keep applying and also seek God's face for favor!
