emmanuelson20: Hi Guy, as for your question. Please, honesty is what you need. Simply tell the visa consular the truth about your resident status if you are asked. (They could have some information about you without your knowledge, its North Cyprus not Nigeria) Are you going for fall 2012? If Yes! You need to get your I-20 & get ready for your interview as quick as possible so as to resume early for studies. North Darkota is a nice, cold & friendly place, hope you enjoy your stay there & i wish you the best in your future endeavours. (DON'T CROSS OVER TO CANADA, LOL!!!) Peace.

jhidey92: hello house...one of my causin just finish his bachelor degree in edu/math at unilag..i now tell him to start processing his MS in USA. ouse is it possible wit 2rd upper.

babani01: Salute to all in the house, I was directed to study these webpages before my interview and tried to do so. Glory be to God as I got the Visa. Below is an outline of the interview as much as I can remember (it was on July 25)

VO: What are you studying in US?
Me: Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Masters.
VO: Why Electrical?
Me: That is what I studied for my first degree and am looking at going deeper in the course, specialing in ... (told him what I want to specialise in and how it will impact on Nigeria,Note that I mentioned Nigeria wella)
VO: What do you do?
Me: I work as a Bleep Engineer and I handle repairs on ... (The fact that one has a good employment makes them look at you with respect, felt that sha, so ensure you speak in a way to make them feel you know and enjoy what you do)
VO: How do you know about YYY(the school)?
Me: A professor from the school came for a seminar at my University while I was still there . . .(Told him how I networked with a Prof at the school and then got more info from the internet, this question gave me more edge as I have a communication relationship with a prof there)
VO: How will you be funding your study?
Me: I have a graduate assistantship (GA) . . . (Told him more about the GA, how it will help my goal in relation to Nigeria and that the little money remaining that the GA didn't cover will be from my account. Of course, having a scholarship should make getting your VISA easy if you speak about it to your advantage)
VO: Do you have a letter for the GA?
Me: Searched for it and gave it to him, he read it very well. Typed some things (Guessed its the name of the professor that recommended me for the GA, during this time na prayer for mind o). I then told him the GA thingy was also stated on the I-20, he said he knew.
VO: Is that the only school you applied for?
Me: No. I also applied for ...(Just mentioned some of the schools, didn't add whether I had admission or not as I didn't want to deviate from the main thingy since its VISA to YYY)
VO: You can pick up your VISA on Monday, tore the green "trophy" for me and also gave me the authorized collection by proxy form (Wow, glory be to God)


Funny enough, didn't check GRE result, the Test of English result I had, account statement, payslip, transcript, certificate and other things I packed along in case of "incacity".
BABA GOD NONI, THANK YOU JESUS

emmanuelson20: hi guy(s), if you will be applying from Nigeria, your best option is to get another passport, why? Cos the visa consular would likely ask you questions regarding your mission in North Cyprus which could reduce your chances of getting a F-1 Visa as it creates a doubt about your "genuine" intentions about studying in the US. When asked if you travelled before (@ least to North Cyprus), your answer should be "NO" or else ... .... .... ... ...... Hope its clear! If not, let me know. Sure have a great day. Peace.

obusco4lyfe: @house please i nid immediate reply, my sch said i shld pay a non-refundable charge fee of $25 by cashier check or money order and mail it to them. Hw am i goin 2 go abt it, i nid immediate reply pls.

fittty:


That's pretty low for graduate studies. Why don't he go for a top-up? Well he can try his luck cos there r some graduate schools that admitt irrespective of your grade but he has to write an essay and promise to be of good performance academically when admitted
