Did you meet Dammy in your program? Asking because I know he finished from your program at Ohio and did his undergraduate at Ife too.

StanUc:
Hello, please I sent you a PM request. Thanks

slimmy2005:
Please has anyone flown Emirates recently?

Nanthediverse:
This is the level I'm now. Do I need to accept the 28th jouly and then apply for emergency appointment because my school resume 24th of this month. Someone should help

oracle009:

Hello Gurus...
I have been following this trend for a long while and I have learned a whole lot silently all thanks to you all.

My case is a little peculiar and I need as much advice as I can get.

I recently got admitted for an MBA program with full tuition for my two years amounting to $92,000 and other fees covered by the school scholarship. I was also given a graduate assistantship slot. The living costs will be covered personally as I have enough saved for that.

However, I have a pending immigration petition in place by my folks.

How do I convince a V.O that I am returning? I sincerely intend to regardless of my petition as I have two startups that are doing well and the essence of the MBA is to have global knowledge of how things can be applied here.

Marv5:
Please who has anyone in US that can help with the payment of the SEVIS Form? I’d pay the person….Pls contact me here ademusire2015@gmail.com…it’s urgent!!!

Oluh:
Please I need you guys to advice me on this. I just got a graduate assistantship in a school I applied to last year and I have an interview for another school in abuja next week which I was only offered a scholarship of 18k which was splitted into 9k each for the 2years. I’m confused on what to do.

dzee1:
Thanks for your response.
Please how about applying from another country like next door Ghana or through Mexico when I visit the US?

Hello to everyone in the house especially the Gurus. I came to this platform about a month ago and have been learning so much from all the transcripts and responses. Pls I will like to ask for some counsel.This is my scenerio:
My son got an admission for an undergraduate study for Fall 2022 just last December, 2021. Prior to this, we( the whole family) had applied for B1/B2 and had gotten an appointment for May,2022 as a group. Now my son is to apply for F1 and after calling the embassy, we were told there's the probability the whole family's appointment may be cancelled once we try to switch his application to F1. The next available dates are from July 2023! We are at a crossroad on what to do. Meanwhile his Sevis fee and acceptance fee have been paid for.
Question: 1. Do we leave his B1/B2 so our appointment is secured i.e he will appear with us and afterwards file for F1?
2. Do we take the risk and cancel the appointment so his application for f1 is effected? 3. Can he appear for the Tourist visa and then pay for another MRV to fill for F1? I"ll really appreciate if these questions and what steps to take can be clarified. Thank you.

Fawaz12345:


Yes my sister entered through F1

Don't fret! If this is your first time of seeking emergency. Pick any date and apply for emergency, (put up strong reasons). Your emergency appointment will most likely be approved. But before then try to apply for a letter of extension from your school. Aim for sometime in February.
I wish you the best.

Nanthediverse:
I have finished this thread and I can't find email for emergency application for Abuja. Please someone should help, my school resumes 24th jan

mojolajesu:
bro, tell them how important it is to be in school early. Applying for EA is not plenty email. If you have scholarship or Assistantship, state it there.

Nanthediverse:


The problem is the email to contact Abuja for EA, I have drafted a good message to send. I have a scholarship from state government also.

Badguy001:


Oh! I just replied you before seeing this! Still perform a WES evaluation, if your GPA comes up to 2.80, you do have a chance! Generally, you do have a chance if what you have done between your diploma and now is compelling enough! I am aware of a US CS professor at UIUC whose undergraduate GPA was 2.4/4.0 on the US Scale! And I read somewhere about an Asian whose GPA was even 2.16/4.00 at undergrad and got into Carnegie Mellon's CS Program!

The challenge with your profile is that it's a polytechnic diploma but I think you stand a chance still. Check this out: https://www.nairaland.com/370346/what-hnd-equivalent-usa

Best of luck!

Blueychic:
please sir/ma I really need your help with this.

bukhety:

I would suggest you go for the B1/B2 interview. If granted, according to the new waiver program, he might not need to appear for an F1 Interview. This is if he applies while still in Nigeria.

NB: it is left to the prerogative of the VO either to waive or not waive a visa interview.

This visa waiver is valid throughout 2022 for those who have been issued any other visa in the past and are not ineligible in any way.

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE. I just read about the new waiver program. We've had the B1/B2 before so should qualify for the new waiver, hopefully.
I appreciate your assistance and to all who responded with their opinions.
Still trying to get a hang of replying or commenting on people's posts on this platform.
