Yeah I know that. Once just have to respect intellectual property sometimes and appreciate efforts to put down to get it out.

Please, I have a friend that is Pace University. She is presently in Connecticut but looking for how to get accommodation in Manhattan. I don't know much about New York. Any suggestion how to get cheap and safe accommodation.

I don't think 'cheap' and 'Manhattan' go together in the same sentence..Staten island and long island would be options or even Jersey city

I got to the school and admission office said I DO NOT have a bachelors degree, no amount of plea that HND is equivalent to Bsc oo, my dept transfer only few courses and insist that I take undergrad courses to complete Bsc.

Hummmm so the school gave you graduate admission and then when you got there downgraded it to undergrad..... if na me i no for gree oooo and would have asked to see the President or Provost of the University or even President Obama to settle the matter

I have told you this before. This is not Nigeria, everything official here has no shortcuts and follows due process. Have you ever heard of illegal parents (husband and wife) with 5 citizen children before? Only the children can't be removed but the parents under US law are subjected to deportation if caught. Those kind of children are rwhat Donald J. Trump called "anchor babies" in US. In his wildest dreams, he's trying to stop such "anchor babies" stuffs. Babies can only be used as part of evidence of bona fide marriage, it speeds nothing. They still have to strongly prove that they aren't using the babies for the purpose of circumventing immigration laws.

Having babies actually requires planning. We've been married since 2014 and our plan is 2018 because both of us are still studying. So, don't pressurize your sis to start have babies when her legal status is still staggering. Like I told someone up there, to legally stay in US is frustrating after your purpose of coming is about to finish. Everyone passes/will pass through that stage at some point.

I guess den, she knew wat she was doing. She told me yesterday she s applying for her PHd.

From wat I gathered on dis forum, a PhD will only postpone ur departure date BT not change d visa status, m I right?

Correct ....The problem with the phd is that she would be able to extend her f1 but not be able to change status to PR or any spouse visa so in some years still at this same point .... because of fullbright thing she expected to spend 2 years in naija thats all.

if its me i will not postpone that issue , i would just get rid of it now then start afresh . Do 1 year that is left in naija then come back for phd. That way her phd can be on her husband dependent visa (although i am not sure what exactly that is, if spouse of a citizen better then her 5 or 3 years starts counting to her own citizenship ) instead of been on F1 visa again . ... because if after phd she then gets a good job that willing to file h1b (let assume she wasn't married and need h1b after opt). The company will still not be able to file h1b until she has fulfilled the 2 years giving back . ..... if she knew she would have just waited one more year in naija before going for d masters in d first place and this issue would never have been there . ...i really don't see d big deal in going back to naija for one more year to resolve this issue once and for all if she cannot get a waiver........ Why postpone it

How then did you get a grad admission in the first place? It sounds a bit confusing. If they evaluated your transcript to be 93 units then how the hell did they offer you grad admission or I didn't get the whole stuff clearly. Well my school accepts HND till date. You don't even have to evaluate your transcript.

You have to check your target school for their requirements , and the fact that this might be yes in one school doesnt mean yes in another school . Also some schools waive or dont require TOEFL some schools its mandatory .......so if you dont want to do TOEFL then its best to target the schools that this is not a requirement

You have a strong GPA for Graduate assistance so definitely take GRE if you dont want to take TOEFL , study very well for it . That will open up your choice for funding
