Hello house...I got the below message via email from Eastern Illinois university:

I am currently reviewing your application to the MS in Cybersecurity – please know that your transcripts cannot be authenticated. As such, your application will not be moved forward.

Accordingly, I am advising you to mail us an official transcripts certified by the Office of the Federal Ministry of Education in your home country in Nigeria. You have also the option to have your transcripts certified by the Education USA Office in Nigeria. The Education USA is located at the following address in Nigeria:

U.S. Consulate Lagos

EducationUSA Advising Center

Public Affairs Section

2 Walter Carrington Crescent Victoria Island Lagos Nigeria



What do you think I should do in this situation?

Do what they asked for

tactmayor:
Please I need help to send my GRE scores while I transfer

Please...I am still waiting for response

I don't know maybe after processing my official transcript I will have to take it to federal ministry of education or education USA
For it to be certified before sending to the school or the official transcript sent straight from my school will do.

Going through the education USA route will cost you money, you have to register with them (registration fee is 200$ but i think the flat rate in naira is around 35k), send your official transcript to them and ask them to forward it to your school.

If you decide to certify it at federal ministry, you will have to get an official copy from your school and certify it at federal ministry of education. Then you send it to the school through post office which takes 21days or use courier services like dhl, ups, fedex.

Any option you choose, you will spend money. Be sure you will get the admission before passing through this stress or just forget the school.

Please someone should help me attend to this

Hello house
I got undergraduate admission to study computer science at Ashland university Ohio. My uncle will be the sponsor. I want to know the necessary funding documents needed for visa and what I should do in applying for the visa so I don't make mistakes
The sponsor himself lives in USA.

Thanks for this information...
I'm very grateful

What do you think I should do in this situation?

Ensure you use one consolidated account...
It's not advisable to use a business account, rather a private account...
Because Embassy prefers private savings rather business account... The later can only be use if you are given scholarship by a business/corporate entity

Please avert conflict of information, especially when it comes to finance... This is very sensitive...
I will advise u do put ur uncle...

Most pple who have gotten their visa, use someone. SOA with bouyant account as their sponsor just for documentation, whereas all expenditure are done by them...
Let's be careful along the sensitive requirements

Search google. university of new haven will admit u with this profile for industrial engineering

Thanks so much

But I already submitted d form... can I still claim my uncle is my sponsor?

Make your question clearer.

From what I understood, you need a new ds 160 in other to book a new appointment but you can use your old ds 160 to retrieve your previous details then edit whatever thing you want to edit.

Na wa o. I thought here is for people to render help. I need someone to please help me send my GRE scores while I transfer in naira. I have use Mastercard, Visa, it is not going

Ok,you mean if I have a different SEVIS no and I want to create a new DS-160 to book appointment I will just have to transfer the SEVIS ID?

No one is obligated to help you. See it as favour if someone volunteers to do that. By the way, have you tried gtb/access bank mastercard?
