Well done to those organising this promo.. kudos

Just want to point out instead of going through ETS directly and paying $205 ....which is 94k naira . It been stated here off a center that has vouchers and register for half this price .....

If not the expected half of what the winners are to pay is the full price as going through the center
Good Suggestion...Walspring....Over
Do you Read. .. grin

No work authorization for your first year. Then you can apply for authorization to work 20 hours/week maximum. Ask your international student advisor for assistance.
Bro so I cannot go beyond 20hours per week? And it's my 2nd year?

What happened to your previous visa?

Good morning boss
VO don't seems to believe in calums , I went for interview last week VO held on to my gre score of 323 and gave me a blank GSS form that I would need i would need it to pick up my VIsA only for me to have the shock of my life on Monday when a blue paper came and my GRE result came back with my passport , I must say that was after my 4th attempt , anytime they interview me all they tell me is how Bad CALUMS is, so am thinking I could put in for MBA in another university for coming admission season , I just need a school that accept GRE alone with my credentials and not me trying to write any TOEFL , the truth is am devastated , because I have made plans over the weekend , but then I have moved on
I would really appreciate if you could suggest a school and am even thinking of studying for MSC in accounting either MBA or MSC in accounting
Thanks

VOs believe in CALUMS just fine - we approve many people to go there. You jus have to be able to credibly answer the questions. If you are telling us it is a top ranked school and that is why you applied there... well, we are going to talk about top ranked schools with you.

Well, you need to first talk with your International student advisor of your intention. To make your case strong, you would need to explain in writing why you want the EAD and circumstance behind such. If you can get an affidavit of loss of sponsorship from Nigeria and probably new headlines stating the recent recession in Nigeria as well as the inability to source for exchange, It would greatly help your case. You can get a fee waiver for the i-765 (Application for Employment Authorization). All you need to do is to fill the I-912(request for fee waiver) USCIS usually approves it if you are able to get better documentation.

I can send you samples of forms and documents that might help your case. If you're interested then shoot me a PM.

@bold
University of Minnesota is a good school... your Gpa is on low side and so is your GRE. The most likely reason is these two don't make you a strong candidate for that school ......

Also you state help on school but you didn't state what course. Half information ?

that u have admission doesnt mean u would get the visa. standardized tests increase your credibility and possibility of funding.
