Please can a Law degree obtained in Nigeria be used to obtain a graduate scholarship in any other course in US?
How does this emailing Professors and HODs stuff work in applying for a Scholarship?

Novartis:

Your particular scores in all the subject you took during your secondary high school

Walspring:


You can use your waec or neco result but if they ask for it to be official then you contact waec or neco office to do that but you pay for it.

Also you can use your school own from JS 1 to SS3 issued by your secondary school.

TrillionBrains:


Thanks for the response bro.

I've already figured a way to go about the waec transcripts but this js1 to ss3 own eeh omo I don't see how feasible it is for it to be available anytime soon

Mind if I send you a mail so you clear me up better bro?

I actually got my visa approved yesterday in lagos after 2 previous denials and wld love to share my transcript.just that my case is slightly different and I dunno if it will benefit others.but I must say I learnt a thing or too here for which I'm very grateful

HollyMadison:
Well done guys.. I’ve learnt so much from this platform.

I want apply with my husband as my F-2, please can I get tips on what to do and what to avoid?

I’m looking at masters in economics in Georgia state University, Georgia institute of technology or Clark Atlanta university (fall 2021).

I’ll apply after I take my GRE, any information on scholarship and graduate assistantship will be greatly appreciated, I’ve sent mails to the school and I’m waiting for responses. I’ve also searched online, but I’m open to hearing from a mentor here with direct or indirect personal experience.

ashawoKGB:
The answer to your first question is No.
Then you email Professors to ask not only for opening and demonstrate interest but to check your chances and request for waiver( in the case of the person i responded to , he needs to email these HODs to check if a particul department may be Willi yo accept him with OND). Then these professors help procure TA and GA grants for students who are willing to work with them.(These grants sometimes, cover full living cost)

TrillionBrains:


Mehn, how do I even go about this...contact the school or what?

Someone suggested I go with official transcripts from waec which I think is a fair suffering.

About secondary high, you mean senior secondary right? Pardon my ignorance here ejoor

Good day all,
A friend introduced me to this great forum which I have gone through some of the pages and saw the benefit and help it has rendered to so many people.

Good day House, please does anyone has link for General USA Visitors Visa enquiries...I will be glad if you can share..Thanks

EmeritusR:


I wouldn't advice you to change your mom's surname because you do not want the VO to know that two of your mom's sisters are citizens or permanent resident permit holders . even if they've filed for you and your family immigration visa before I don't think that is a problem, all lies in your application and the way you will convince the VO about your home ties and your plans on returning to Nigeria after your program. I think you should give it a try and you can use any of the family sponsors you feel might be best for you and secondly are your aunties in the same state with the university where you will be applying for your program? if it is not the same state, I am not seeing a problem there. when you go for your visa interview just make the VO know the purpose of you going to the US and the Lord will do the rest.

fear not.

nathanji:


Thanks very much for this advice and encouragement. My aunties are not based anywhere close to the school i will apply for.
Once again, thanks for the encouragement. I will give it a try. Please do you know if i would be needing a statement of account of my own when going for the visa interview?

EmeritusR:


well it depends on your cost of attendance and if may be you have the money to sponsor yourself. if you have the money in your account you can use it but if you do not have it, may be either of your parents or family member could support you and you will need their financial statement of account during your interview. although not all the time the VOs ask you to proof your sponsors statement of account by showing it, some of them might not ask you. only God handles everything on that day.

TJ0987:
Hello Ma'am. Isn't it a bit too late to be applying for fall 2021 at this time? Or do you mean fall 2022? From what I heard, funding in GSU is really good, and their acceptance rate is high enough.

nathanji:
Good day all,
A friend introduced me to this great forum which I have gone through some of the pages and saw the benefit and help it has rendered to so many people.

I would like to apply for admission in the United State, Masters program in Southern New Hampshire University. Their ongoing admission is still on and the deadline is February 3rd.
Please I would like to ask some questions before I proceed with the application because I don't want to waste any money and time.

I have 2 Aunts ( my mom's sister's) who are based in the United States. 15 years ago one of them who has been in the US for almost 50 years did the US Immigrant filing for my family ( 7 in numbers), the filing was a 10 years application before it can be approved, but didn't work out. ( They gave her reasons that they contacted her by post and she didn't respond. But she said she didn't receive any post ). But if they really did, what stopped them from sending email or phone call? Well that's by the wayside. 3 year ago my other aunt who has been there for about 20+ years now did another filing for the family again which will also take another 10 years, but the Trump ban on Immigrant came up and i don't know if the ban affected the filing. 2018 my mom was giving invitation by her sister in US to visit them, unfortunate for her she went to the embassy and the VO immediately denied her visa as soon as they saw that she had an ongoing filing application.

My question is this...

Regarding the student application I'm about to take and because it's my aunt who is based in United State that wants to sponsor me, will it not be suspicious that when i come to school in US i will not go back or I'm trying to leave Nigeria based on the immigrant filing my aunt did for my family?

So days ago i was talking to a friend that got his visa rejected due to similar reasons ( He said when he applied for a visiting visa 4 years ago and the aunt has already filed for an immigrant visa for his family, but when the VO asked him if he has anyone in United State he said no. So he was rejected, the reason was because they checked his application form and they indexed his mother's name on their system and found out that his mom has a sister in United State through the ongoing filing the family has ).

I will also like to know if it's a better idea for me to use another sponsor for my student application and visa application and tell the VO that i don't have anyone in United State by changing my mom's first name and my dad's first name on the visa application form.

Or if i should just be transparent by filing the form that my aunt in United State is my sponsor, and i have been filed for the US immigrant before by my aunt who is based in United State and currently responsible for my education.

Please i have from now till next week to make decision because of the deadline of the school I'm applying for. I will find it difficult to stop the school application now because i have already applied for transcript from the University i graduated from and they said it will be ready by next week.

Please i would be glad if i get any advice or contribution on these questions. Thanks and God bless.

Good morning NL.
Is it a red flag when a US F-1 applicant applies for a test optional school?

kastgeraldino:
Do you think the visa official knows or cares about which school is test-optional? Just apply to any accredited schools that's not an online program. But still do the standardized test just to have it.
