Visa approved this morning! Short and smooth transcript... God is too wonderful.

Angelapinkytoes:
Okay I just received a mail from the Lagos Consulate concerning my two US B1 and F1 visas. This was the response: Thank you for your email.

Entrance to the United States is determined not by the U.S. Department of State, which issued you the visa, but by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, specifically by CBP officers at the port of entry. Moreover,your B1 visa was never cancelled and is still valid for travel,and have in mind that a B1 and F1 are two different types of visas. You should be prepared to demonstrate to the immigration officer at the port of entry why you are seeking entry into the United State. The Department of Homeland Security at the port of entry will determine your eligibility to enter the United States on any travel.

I would personally just enter on F1 if there is no urgent reason to travel way before your resumption date.

biikeys:


Like I said earlier, you can hold two classes of visas. CBP officers should be your main concern. If you plan entering on B1 and then changing status to F1, you need to let them know at the port of entry after which you will have to go to the DHS office for change of status. The CBP part is tricky because your visa can get cancelled if you don't explain your situation and plans well. You can still travel on B1, go back to Nigeria and then come back on F1 as well. I would personally just enter on F1 if there is no urgent reason to travel way before your resumption date.

No 50-50 here brother. She's been to the US before and played by the rules.

This is where "travel history" play a major role.

Hello everyone. Congrats to everyone who just got their visa's approved. I also noticed that the popular peeps have been successful. That goes to show that hard work pays. Pls I have a question to ask. I just recently got a job with a bank, should I include it when filling my ds form?

Pls guys, I need an answer. Kindly advice me. Thank you.

borie4u:
Guys how bad is a GRE score of 301. Can I get funding with a score of vb 147 N quantitave of 154. Pls answer urgently

aadeyi:
I still don't understand why everybody keeps going back and forth on this Angela issue..... Am sure if she has a good reason for coming at this time, no CBP officer will send her back. This people are not sadist, they swore to a constitution and they are only trying to protect that

Angela Swtty , if you av a good reason to come, abeg do if not think twice

Holudarey01:

please note that the GRE is not the only factor considered in admission and funding decision.
Your Cgpa, TOEFL, SOP, LORs and resume would also go a long way.
Your discipline also matters and choice of university also matter.
MODIFIED: This would help you https://crunchprep.com/gre/2014/universities-gre-scores-300-to-310

borie4u:

Dare u may be right but I want to know how bad is it? Do I sit for another or stick with dis fairly average score

imperiouxx:

You should be fine. Most schools set their cut off at 300.

Holudarey01:

What's your profile?
To be on a safer side, I think you should rewrite another GRE.
I know guys with scores <300 that got good funding.
So it depends on how well you play your cards.

OK thanks

DareFadi:


You be surprised , people are bounced daily with travel history.... Read the reply from the embassy , it doesn't mean much or guarantee anything and if she runs into any problem. the email clearly states its another department responsibility.... It just tells her that it is two separate department

DeeTus:
She does not have any problem at all. Her status might even automatically be updated to F1 later without returning home. This is one of its kind.

@Ms. Pinkytoes, Thanks for the clarification.
Is there any nairalander in Denver. E be like say the town na 99.9987654% Oyinbo. Na wah.

Why are apartments more expensive in yankee? Thought yankee was cheaper than Canada. $950/month for one bedroom. Not so shabby if it was all inclusive.
