Lol. He has roughly 17 days to refire.
A pal used about 14 days to book an appointment, get his visa and travel.
If he feels he's right let me try.
My opinion sha.

Did you read my post very well at all or you just feel like jumping into what I said? I replied him because he doesn't even know where another visa fee is coming from and time is going. Secondly, he's been denied twice recently on the ground that he carried cc to the embassy and you're here telling me he still has 17 days to refire and get denied again. Question is what has changed in his application after the last interview? Lastly, I don't hold anyone from trying, after all he's not a baby and I don't know him from anywhere.

Not writing exams might give you admission but might become a problem during VISA (so u will be back to square 1 after your hope has been raised) ...... So its best to find time and write the exams . That way it would even open up more school options for you and depending can also open up GA opportunities.

Thanks Lagosismyhome, Sounds like the chances of getting a Visa without GMAT/GRE is 0% and the VISA is actually the main thin. is there a way you can give me more advise outside this media, like e-mail or so? I really need to start hands on training on cybersecurity next yr Jan.

I dont know much about the process for short courses. ..However the bold is for you alone. Abeg dont go mentioning it up and down. BSC is BSC and leave the explanation as before the bold

I guess its how u can demonstrate why they should give you visa for an 8weeks course. If u can explain your career goals in a clear manner i guess so. ...and then connect that to computer science because u might be asked why the career switch but all in all ........ I really dont know anything about the process of short courses visa

The process is the same just as any other student like undergrad or post grad. process

The answer to *what will you do after this training/course*?

*Purpose for the course:

VOLUNTARY SERVICE with NEMA or EDO state hospital ambulance service where we have few or No EMT/Paramedic personnel.

Also to promote the idea to my state government to introduce paramedic courses to the state university or set up paramedic training institute* (though I will elaborate on the benefit of paramedic to Nigeria society why it should be introduce in nigeria)

I'm asking if this reason is strong in your opinion

Secondly; will you advice I retake the toefl to score high

Thanks

*Note: some university offers the program in a 15 weeks duration like USFCA (University of San Francisco california)

Visa is one thing financial support is another and is so vital. ....even if u get the visa how do you intend to support yourself in america.. it can be very tough ooo with less support system because the people there have their own bills they are dealing with. ..... just a food for thought

As for your profile you need to show what u have been doing since 2010 and how this associate enhances your career goal....but i have to remind you. We have said it many times here CC is difficult to convince a VO
What do you mean CC?

Maybe you didnt get me well,I didnt say my sponsors dont have the money,I only said They got tiref from helping me,Which is natural after two attempts at the embassy..They jst wouldnt wanna hear about traveling anymore...But I am certain once I could get a visa and tender it to them,The light is rekindled...

Nobody can make a 0% predictions.... the word i used is MIGHT ....... some people did not take a test and still got visa ... so its up to the VO on that day of interview and the voices in his or her head . Also in some cases the question of test score doesnt come up so 50/50 self if this question comes up

If that is the case then good.... but the advice i will give u will cost money however it might bring better result

Take the SAT , read very well for it , Apply to a UNI not a CC, practise well and then try again for visa

Yes some VO like to see that as evidence that you are serious about study.
Also a letter of admission from your school stating that they waive the requirement for TOEFL etc. will work.

Yea, this is correct.



You can expect a GPA of about 3.20/4.0 after conversion.

Our GPA and that of the US seem to converge at 3.0. Once your GPA on our scale is above 3.0, you should be fine in terms of GP and admission requirements.
so what will a 3.0 out of 5.0 G.p be?
