Cocao:


I think the fund is too small. You dont have any funding from the school and you can only show just a teeny little over one year's estimate. Do you think its enough to convince a consular? Secondly, who is your sponspor? If it is uncle or other relation, how do you justify an uncle giving you all the money in his account for studying? Please mull over these

obexxy:
I was supposed too as well

But it was cancelled with no new date given

PriboD:
For expedited appointments, please how many days does it take for a F1 VISA to be available for pick up after payment of the reciprocity fee?

BGodsonMay:
Thanks for your response. It's very much appreciated.
Considering your points, do you suggest I get another SOA with a high available balance and have my school update my I-20 or is there a better option on how to go about it??
And yes, my uncle is my sponsor.
Thanks once again

Aderin0la:
When was it cancelled please?

Cocao:


Your school does not need to reupdate your I20. If you can print out a sufficient balance from your sponsor and you have confidence in convincing the VO, then you can go ahead

blessed4gifted:

congratulations. my interview is on friday. GSU also. Material science

Etherealbeing:


I presume that you're an F1 student, so you should fill in I20. DS190 is for J1 students I think.

Sharon8:


Select 1-20 if it's for F1 visa

Olenda1:
Please I need guidance please, admission has been offered and class is slated to start January but admission package I guess should be in Lagos right now because I got a mail from the delivering channel saying that the package delivery will be delayed because of the unrest state of the country, please what next should I do please I need help.

Chibzee2:
Does anyone have an interview tomorrow 26th at the Lagos embassy?

Chonco:
Good evening everyone.

I'd be grateful if anyone can wholeheartedly assist me with information. I


I want to apply for an undergraduate degree program with scholarship advantage in any School in the USA.

I don't even know how to start the application or the school to chose because i have no idea on what to do.

I need assistance with a list or a school that accepts international student for undergraduate studies with scholarship or a cheap school without scholarship, but the truth is that scholarship is my number one reason or priority.

The only favour i need is information please.

Thank you and God bless you.

Curious2020:


Well I guess you're newbie here, no worries!
There's a trend on this platform, you should have done research of about 75-80% before people can assist you here, I've been there you can't expect anyone to help you with all this from scratch, I spent almost a year researching my options and came up with a list of 20 colleges.

Just google search this keyword "undergraduate scholarships for international students to study in the US"

Once you find out schools giving those scholarships, learn more about the application process e.t.c, come back here and ask questions concerning things you can't find out from the internet i.e specific informations relating to requirements for Nigerians. Which would be impossible to get from GOOGLE

PEACE.....

Good luck!
Once you've done your research you can pm I'd help you.

Curious2020:

Also if you're thinking of getting into the US this year, well let me break it to you—that's a pipe dream, considering the fact that you haven't researched your college options, if I may ask what are your STATS i.e how's your WASSCE result, ur gpa, have you taken the SAT/ACT, do you have Means of sponsoring your application, how do you sponsor your travel if admitted?

Chonco:


Thank you for your response. I appreciate.
My WAEC is okay but have not calculated to know the GPA. I've not taken any language proficiency test. I also got to know that since there's Covid, no need to write SAT but there made a provision for another test.
Yes, i have means of sponsoring my application and my parents will sponsor my tfare/travel arrangements.

The issue now is this; i don't know how the scholarship program works.
Is there a particular percentage provided by the school?

I'll send a PM to you because I've actually made some researches but i need to know more.

Once again, i appreciate

BGodsonMay:
Good morning everyone. Please, I'm still waiting for a response,[color=#000099][/color] thanks.

HisEminence:


Booked an interview sometimes in last week of September, when there were no dates in Lagos. So I got March 2021, applied for emergency interview and I got a reply last week that it has been approved, that I should go and reschedule the interview in my profile.

LagosismyHome:


23 years having $20k plus in the country like Nigeria can raise a brow. ..... but if can show evidence of how u got it then that helps

Is this undergrad or postgraduate

zeeLady:
I am not totally sure, but i think your ds-160 needs to correspond to where you are doing the interview

4hranc:


Please, how did you achieve this? Provide insight into your success with this process

Oluwaseunisi:
Please how can I contact you. I want to talk to you about tracking your passport. I was behind you during the interview but I'm having difficulty tracking my passport because it was expedited. I had not booked an appointment through the conventional means before the interview.

Matluck:
I had the interview on the 16th October, 2020.


I booked a room at a hotel about 2.7km from the consulate. I also was fortunate to meet a driver who agreed to drive me to the consulate at 5am sharp...amd he kept his word... I almost felt goosebumps when he called me 4:59am.
Anyways, I arrived few minutes afterwards with some 5 interviewees waiting. We weren't attended to until few minutes past 6am.

Heads-up... please get all your documents and reciprocity fee ready. Some who came quite early had to fall out of the line to get their stuffs set... And trust the "boys" waiting to overbill you for your unpreparedness.
Shortly, we were ushered in and checked thoroughly and I began to fall back from my 2nd position in line to abt 5th (apparently, a razor was detected in my wallet which I had no premonition about)
Well, I entered sha...verifications and all. My ds160 was for Abuja and upon knowing, I was asked to wait so it can be retrieved to lagos' database. At this time, I was no 17th.
Gladly the consular official (I think he's the infamous Chinese) was just issuing visa o... Abt 14 plus... Only 1 got a yellow slip. I guess he took a break and another dude took over. And fast forward to me... Here it went thus..

Me: good morning
VO: yea, morning, your documents please
Me: hands over

VO: why are you going to US?
Me: I'm going to pursue a Masters degree in Engineering with concentration in petr....

VO: Why this school?
Me: well, besides the fact that it's among the top 10, the....

VO: I know, but why this particular one and not the other 9?
Me: OK, the works of prof... Quite aligns with mine interest and...

VO: so, who's sponsoring you?
Me: I was offered a research assistantship position which caters for the tuition and comes with stipends for my living expenses..

VO: are you married
Me: no

VO: do you have children
Me: no

... VO muted the microphone and started speaking with his colleague saying somethings like.. Yeah he's genuine and all and he's into a research program blah blah... Las Las...
VO : I intend to issue you a visa, go pay at counter 22 ensure your i-20 is with you blah blah...

Me: thank you.. God bless.

I'm profoundly grateful to my friend Prosper for the mockup interviews.. I don't know how to thank my God enough really.

nanoparticle:
Goodmorning all, pls I have some important questions to ask
1. I heard some schools in the US have waived GRE due to COVID 19...is it true bc I haven't written one and I intend to apply for admission

2 I have a bachelor in pharmacy and I intend to go for a masters degree..my CGPA is 4.41/5 and 3.64 with WES. What ae my chances of getting a scholarship or an assistantship?

3. Hope age 32 isn't bad for a masters degree?
