Hello Nairalanders. Hope you are all doing great. I'm really in a confused state right now and need advice. I went for my interview at the embassy and was told that the school has to issue me another I-20 admission letter because the date stated on the current one shows the school has resumed for the semester. Few weeks later I received a mail that my passport was ready for pick up but surprised because my application was still under administrative processing.The school has accepted to send me another but my question is, should i drop off the passport and new I-20 at the Dhl office where it was collected or do i have to schedule another interview( pay another Visa fee)? Thank you in advance.

fabyom:

Timotee:


I'm not familiar with PhD programmes in Physics. However, here's a link to physics graduate programmes in the US (https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/physics-rankings). Check them out and see what the funding opportunities are.

Emusan:

Flaame:

teefolz:

Emusan:

Good evening,
Please I am in a very big izz.I am applying to a uni in the us as an undergraduate, so the school am applying to,actually requested for the evaluation of my transcript which is actually used WES. I started the evaluation which I paid about $189 and waec sent my transcript which was confirmed on my account,so after sometimes I found out that the money that was paid for the evaluation was withdrawn because it is started on my account that a refund was made,so I reached Wes then I was TLD someone collected the refund.so my dad overlooked that and we paid another $189 then my documents were sent back to waec for verification, so after some abt few weeks of waiting for a reply from waec...I checked my account again only to find out that a refund as been made again..I was really sad..infact I cried all night. Has anyone experienced this?...m jst sick and tired of everything... I can't think straight anymore slf..my dad said he won't pay another oda cash again... Uncles nd aunts please help me out.
N:B: an agent that was introduced to my dad paid the mood(should have done that my self but I got to know about nairaland lately)...and the man is denying that her knows ntin about it..someone should help me out plzz!!!��

Since you weren't able to go through this thread painstakingly to learn how will you cope when you get to the states? I'm sorry bro you were just being lazy and the agent made a feast out of it. Last last this your story get as e b as at July you spoke about using WES then you were on this thread now September you are complaining, you got to know about the thread late oga which one we go believe self?

My e-family,

I'll make this really long because I don't know when next I'll have the time to inspire and educate in this wise.

I had always waited for the day the turn will be mine to share my own interview experience, unfortunately I didn't know I'd be sharing a Delayed Transcript.

I have quite a decent academic profile and had never spared a thought to the incessant allures of US travel. But after enduring a protracted MS program here in Nigeria with it's attendant troubles, I finally yielded to the voice of reason, to go get a quality education in Yankee. Admittedly, I've been an oldie here on Nairaland, but I never knew about the educative section on US Student visa.

Somehow, I took off on a wrong note in April, this year, by contracting an Agent to facilitate the process on my behalf. An attitude of nonchalance on the part of the agent was the pep tonic I needed and prompted me into surfing the net for visa tips. In that process, I discovered this wonderful section. From then on, I took control of proceedings. The only reason I didn't severe relationship with the Agent who is US based, was to let him handle crucial payments and send me the necessary documents: this was a perfect game plan.

Since April until recently, I successfully saw off 5 Threads [Part 10-14], and I must say I've learnt a lot. Not only have I been familiarised with the Visa process, I've been able to glean information concerning life in the US, her stringent immigration policies, and survival tips. To the US hopefuls, I'd advice you to eschew laziness and pay due diligence by digesting info from this section. There is more than enough for you here.

Since April too, I've had to do one or two things to bolster my profile and visa approval chances and this include writing a standardized test (The TOEFL). I was able to convince myself that only a poor showing on the interview day could hamper my chances. This thought alone was enough morale booster during my prep and trust me, I was ready and raring to go for my interview.

My interview date was September 11th and the location was the Abuja US embassy. Things were very orderly there. For people like me who love proper organizational process, Abuja is your best bet. I left my phones in my hotel room. As such, I neither paid to have them stored for me at the venue, nor did I pay attention to those racketeers outside since my documents were complete (of course, coloured documents are not necessary).

My interview details:

What are you going to CMU for: I'm going for my Masters program in Computer Information System. It is for my academic and professional growth.
Why this school: They offer my course as an interdisciplinary program and I'll be able to do Business courses too. The fee was too good to overlook. It's affordable and the same for domestic and international students. Nothing about the student affairs is automated, as they have time to attend to students on a one-on-one basis.
Who is your sponsor: My Dad is my Sponsor. He's a Director of BPRS in the xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Do you have his statement: Yes (I gave her)
So what will you do with this course when you come back: It qualifies me for a promotion into the International Operations Department of my company.
Okay you're working? So are they going to secure your job: Yes, I have a leave permission from them.
Do you have your leave paper: (I checked my file) and then answered, I'm sorry I don't have it here.
How did you know about this school (she didn't wait for answer)...
When did you get your last degree: May 2013
Why is the tuition too low, I haven't seen an American University as low as this: (I wasn't expecting that kinda observation so I responded) It's one of those affordable Uni.
Do they have online courses: Yes they do. They have it Online, Hybrid and Classroom.
So which one are you going for: I went for the classroom option.

After typing a long time, came the pink letter.
Meanwhile, all the interview period, she kept typing away on her system and hardly looked at me. She particularly captured my sponsor account details too. Maybe she was typing the amount into the system. Just maybe...

Please, your inputs to this transcript would be appreciated.

LagosismyHome:

California Mirarma University

Nice write up bro. Sorry for your delay. Though I'm not an expert, still a JJC, but without mincing word Your choice of school played a big role in your denial.

First, I could not get it's ranking on the first page of Google on Usnews. The "deadest" of schools will still give you a Usnews ranking link.

Second, the school was established in 2005.

These two reasons are enough to mar your chances. I might be wrong as I'm not the V.O.

I suggest try to get a better school before reapplying and you should be fine.

naira0:


The school? Maybe or maybe not.
It was the agent who applied to that school, so I had to accept and work with what I have. But, the school is not as bad as it seems.
I do appreciate your views bro.

Flaame:
Yes...but what degree do u want?
