Good Morning,
I was wondering if one can go to the embassy with an SOA that ended in June for an interview in August. The SOA is from June last year to this year. Thanks.

God! We did not go to school in Nigeria. Our universities are so damn right shitty! ��‍♂️

Whatever you need to do, please do, but make sure you get this abroad education. God �

I weep for Nigeria abeg.


Toured my school yesterday, and all I can do is curse our leaders. I’ve always known that we’re backward, but it slaps differently when you get to see a real standard for comparison.

I won’t lie, we’re not getting there at all.

Good luck to those applying this spring and next fall.

Na so, once we all cross to the other side, we begin to curse where we came from.

That "shitty" BSc you and I got from the Shit-hole was enough to get you an Msc admit and perhaps, an assistantship.

That "shitty" BSc placed you and I on the same level with fellow American graduates, Chinese, Indians etc. The same BSc made a lot of Nigerians among the top in their graduating class. Everything is a ladder to another greater thing. Without d transcript from that our "shitty schools;" we will never get admitted to something better.

that Bsc was not so shitty afterall.

Curse or said how it is ..... Nigeria is behind and getting worse in a lot of areas. Let call it for what it really is

I guess we should be thankful that others are more liberal and still give second chances by accepting shitty things with a bid to bring out the best in all .

Bro your reasoning is just too bitter I can't find any trace of curses in those words but all I see is just the bitter truth ..............Our education system is not working n we know that!
We are far behind this people n we know it.


But come to think of it we are from an English speaking country n we were thought in English n our certificate is written in English n we re still told to write proficiency test.

Well I know the last statement is arguable.. grin

grin

But bro please don't take my words personal..... grin

Quite sad that you missed the point in my post.

It’s good that you’re positive though. But the truth is, the system is terrible. Imagine having a system as amazing as this in Nigeria.

American schools were not built by angels. Our schools are simply reflections of who we are... not these “leaders” we love to blame for everything. Schools work here on the honor system... professors here take their jobs seriously, students also do not cut corners, do not offer bribes, don’t apply based on fraudulent documents and work hard rather than abdicating their responsibilities to a “god” we don’t reverence anyway.

The people here complaining about our schools are the same people who excuse casual lies and deliberate omissions at visa interviews, as long as you “get your visa”. Remove every American at Harvard and replace them with Nigerians, it will become a hellhole in 5 years.

Several things I learned in my time here:
1. Americans take time incredibly seriously. We laugh away our time based on “African time”.
2. Nobody here will ever dream about stealing money meant for salaries, or books, or facilities... how many of you here can honestly say you’re not going to school on money your parents obtained through crooked contracts? Do your parents count in the “leaders” you curse?
3. People here think of community first... Nigerians think of me first.

I could go on and on, but you get the point.

Hey guys,

How is the extension letter from the DSO? The one I can take to the CBP at the POE explaining why I'm arriving later than stated.

Is it in a document format or...


Ask your DSO. You will also need an updated I-20.

This is silly. How does a diploma in American culture help you get a job as an administrative assistant in Nigeria where >50% of youths are essentially jobless? You think you're going to convince anyone with that obvious lie?

Lol at Twoods. *not just >50% of youths..

Yes you can
Mine ended in March and my interview was August 8th but be prepared to answer questions about it when asked why it ended in June.

Mine answer basically was - that was what I presented during my admission process and wouldn't want to create any form of suspicion if I use an updated one.

Do you know if your bank has been contacted to verify your SOA?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Mudicua: 8:26pm On Aug 20, 2019
I beg to differ on this.
It is not okay oooo.
This is a simple rule, to show original documents at POE. If he does not want trouble, let him just kukuma do the needful.

This one is a rule of thumb... original docu,menets must be presented at the POE.
I am surprised he was able to do his visa interview without original i20

Reading the above, I had to scroll back up to see who it was... Not surprised it was you at all.

Nice having you back here. I really respect your reasoning and perception on things...
Please don't stop speaking the way you do, cos I will never stop reading and agreeing with you on most subject.

I beg to differ.
The school you're are so much detesting is the platform for Nigerians getting money in the bag via TA/GA/RA and lots of generous scholarship.

The Nigerian degree is even more valued and respected outside Nigeria than in Nigeria.

You can barely see a school in Nigeria that will accept you into a masters program with a HND.

Our Schools are messed up, not our degrees.
