Mickeybook:
then what happens to his form I 20 that already carries August as starting date ? Will the same form I 20 still be valid for spring?
Of course you'll have to request for another updated I-20 for your interview and possibly Travel, all the best

Get the waivers cos officially, there are application fees on those schools' website.

Yes. Some, I mailed the grad coordinator, some I got their waiver codes (some were posted here on NL), others I found on LinkedIn, others friends on ground helped me.

There are even more sef, but I couldn't apply to those because either I didn't have or will to send official transcript for admission decision purpose or that they insisted I must submit an English requirement score. I checked alot of forums, did alot of research.

visa Approved today for family of three at Abuja Center :

Below is my Transcript:

Me: Good morning officer , how are you doing today?

Vo: Good morning

vo: How old is your son

me: 1 year and 2 months

Vo: i can see you are going for masters in finance

Me: Yes, in concentration in financial Analysis

Vo: what will this course do for you ?

Me: in the short run it will give me the necessary skills and knowledge to attain a more higher position in my current place of work and in the long term I will be able to set up a consultancy firm in the area of finance and investment portfolio for private individuals, institutions and government. Nigeria is faced with high debt service and revenue ratio of about 98% in 2021 and the government spent 1.8trillion in debt servicing in five months .. cut me off.

Vo: what do you do in Nigeria

Me: I work as a senior xxxxxxx at the university of xxxxxx as a senior financial officer in the finance department.

Vo: why New Jersey city University

Me: New Jersey city offers a unique program , it incorporates the curriculum of the chartered financial analysts with CFA institute and i was also interested in the research work of Prof. xxxxxx. Cut me off:

Vo: have you traveled before ?

Me; sure, I have been to Germany, Italy on two different occasions

Vo: when was that ?

Me; in 2018 and 2019.
With my wife in 2019.

vo: can i have your old passport

me: sure, gave her and she went through it to confirm our travel history

she kept on typing for like 1 mins

Vo: please madam can I talk to you?

Vo; what do you do?

Wife : I’m the ceo of xxxxxxxxx, im into xxxxxxxxxxx

Vo: how many staffs do you have ?

Wife: 25

Vo: what will happen to your business :

Wife: I have handed over all responsibilities to my second in command until I return back after my husbands study .

Vo: then came the magical word: I will be approving your visa !!, due to the v=covid 19, i became deaf and dumb for rest of the time.

BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY GOD DID IT, INDEED WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOESN'T EXIST. THERE IS A GOD FACTOR IN THIS VISA THING.

This whole success will not end without acknowledging *Nigpatriot* and my dearest Friend Ife . Jesus this guy is selfless and God-sent. he went through my proposed transcript and did alot of work to perfect it without asking for a dine. not 1kobo. God bless you sir and everyone on this platform who has contributed positive for everyone to learn. you guys are just Amazing . GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

4. University of Arkansas at little rock
5. University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley
6. Rensselaer Polytechnic institute
7. University of Rochester.
8. Michigan Technological University
9. University of Delaware.
10. Northeastern University
11. Steven's Institute of Technology
12. Missouri S&T
13. Drexel University
14. Middle Tennessee State University (They refunded my $30 after paying).
15. Cleveland State University
16. University of New Orleans
17. Milwaukee School of Engineering.
18. University of Texas, Tyler.
19. Rice University (PhD in Materials and Biotech Engineering only)

I will keep updating this post as I remember them, I have gotten alot of mails about it, y'all call still try if the fee waivers are still available.

How I got the app fee waivers.
1. Well composed email to the grad/program coordinator.
2. Nairaland, Twitter, LinkedIn.
3. Friends in the US.

Goodluck.

Hi everyone, Please, I just need someone here to point me in the right direction. I am a masters student in the UK and about to round off my studies. I am into IT and feel the USA will benefit me more as my counterparts there are paid higher than in the UK. I also feel that there are more job availability there in the US.

What route is best? Funded PhD? Getting a job there? How can one go about it?

Visa approved with just 3 questions!!!

1. Who is funding you
My school and uncle

2. What does he do
Real estate developer

3. What will you do when you return
Come back to my current employer here in Nigeria,

Didn’t listen to all those instructions cos I was surprised, he didn’t even listen to the last answer and handed me the white paper

God factor I keep on saying this is involved, however prepare like your life depends on it.

I saw blue print like 15 before mine and my heart skipped to my mouth , but I kept on singing this song ‘O lord my God, when I’m in awesome wonder; How Great thou art’, and my VO God assigned to me just said to me, you come!!!!


I want to specially thank God for his mercies that never comes to an end, but new every morning and great is his faithfulness.

I won’t forget to thank some key guys here, who have been quite contributing to all of our enquiries, God bless you all and keep on doing good.


QUESTION
Please, I need an assistance, what platform is the best and cheapest to book for my travel , I am going to Atlanta Georgia, God bless us all


Bro, this is shockingly similar to my experience at the Abj embassy this morning! Transcript loading!!!
