They do. I submitted my official transcript when I resumed. Try to reduce the size of your transcript. You can use paint software to reduce the size of each picture then convert all the pictures to one pdf file online. Seems I had the same problem during my application too.

If you can, make sure the pdf file is not up to 2MB. Don't over reduce the size that it becomes blur o. If you can't, send me a pm, and i can help you resize it.

Alright thank you. I have submitted my application but I have not send the official copies of my transcript. I have been looking for that information for over three weeks now because i dont want to send it until i am sure of Funding which i am still pressing for. I have 5 admissions already with no funding so the only reason i am applying to more schools is because of the Funding and i cant waste more money sending document without the assurance of funding
Hi bro!

please which schools did you applied to that they have given you an admission?

All the schools am seeing here are requesting I submit financial documents like statement of account before they process my I-20 form if they give me admission. I thought the statement of account is supposed to be taking too the embassy. please are those schools also requesting for this SOA before they process your I-20 form?

please I will love to have the schools you applied to please.

I have also sent you a mail, please kindly reply so we can communicate via email for quick response.

Thanks very much

You could do a wes evaluation and conversion of your HND result and use it for masters application
Yeah thanks very much bro.

But the thing is even if I convert the HND and do masters with it as you said, if you want to get employment they will still ask you what you studied in your HND, the course you studied for HND will still always reflect, and the truth is am not proud of the course I studied, it's not a lucrative course and it's not well recognized. Though i didnt have any choice as at when given admission for the course. When you mentioned the course to some people you will still need to do proper introduction or saying what the course is all about. the course is "Office Technology And Management" they use to call it "Secretarial Administrative/studies back then before the nomenclature to the new name. Almost all the government polytechnics in Nigeria have the course and some universities also like " TASUED" .

Though i understand some job doesn't require what you studied before employing you, but this Dichotomy of a thing between HND and BSc, everything just join together with the course again. Naxo dey don dey talk am since over 5 years now say dey don remove the segregation between HND and BSc holder yet we still face the discrimination anytime we apply for job. This is Nigeria!

So my brother with all these challenges it's better I just go for an undergraduate programme so that I can have my Bsc and have rest of mind. I believe there is no age limit to studying, so far you capable in all ramifications then you are good to go.

Thank you.

I think I understand your concerns. Applying to a BSc program at 29 is a huge red flag. However, about 5 years ago my cousin Who was 30 years old at that time applied to an undergraduate program and his visa was approved. My advise is that you send your HND transcript to WES and have them evaluate it. Once it is evaluated and converted to the US scale, you’ll have a somewhat levelled playing field with BSc holders who are applying to a masters program. If you choose to proceed with the undergraduate admission, be prepared to answer questions bothering on what you have been doing since you graduated from high school, if you’ve had any form of postsecondary education.
Hello brother!

I must confess I do appreciate the way you took your time to responding to my questions, giving your opinions and advice.

I have chosen to apply for the undergraduate programme. And I will be prepared to to answer questions from the VO on what I have been doing since I finished my high school. and I think my answers should be plain as Telling the VO after my secondary school I have gone for my diploma and also proceeded to work for some years. and also be able to answer questions on the course I will choose for the undergraduate programme, the schools, and how the course will benefit me when I return to my country and finally my sponsor. and most importantly be prayerful. I think am on point with all thesehuh

will be commencing on my application this week, and hoping to get admission from the schools within short time.

Thanks very much sir.

Hello
You should endeavor to read through this thread beginning from part 7 there’s an array of beneficial information that you’ll find invaluable. A lot of HND holders have been able to gain admissions directly into masters programme. What they usually do is to have their transcript evaluated by the credential evaluating body (WES). They’ll convert your GPA to the US scale and you should be good to go. Some people might have listings of schools that accept HND-Masters applicants. Or just read through from part 7 you’ll get the answers you need.
Thanks a lot for your quick response.

I actually wish to go Bsc in Criminology or psychology, but what is giving me concern is my age 29, thinking if it will not be a red flag for an undergraduate programme when am being interviewed by the VO despite the school would have giving me an admission if i qualify for the requirements, irrespective of my age.

Do you understand what I elucidated above? and I will love to get you opinion or advice .

Hello,
The visa fee payment you made is no longer valid since you didn’t attend your interview and you didn’t cancel the scheduled appointment before the interview date. On transferring B1/B2 to F1 category that is also impossible. The only option in your case is to make payment for another visa appointment, if you intend applying as a student you should ensure that only the correct category is indicated (F1- academic, M1- vocational and J1- exchange students). I hope your question has been answered. Good luck.
Okay. Thanks very much for your response.


For an HND holder, since one cannot go for a masters programme direct, is it advisable one go for an undergraduate programme in order to obtain Bschuh

Hello guru in the house!

Please I need your response on this;

I initially made a payment for a Visa fee B1/B2 category, I only scheduled an appointment with it hoping I will fill the DS-160 form and submit before the the interview date but unfortunately I couldn't fill it and submit due to some reasons which means I was unable to attend the interview on Monday.

my question is that; will I be able to schedule another appointment for F1 category? I learnt one can use it since the price of F1 and B1/B2 are the same. please how true is this? I didn't cancel the initial appointment, hope this will also not affect me? and also if they check my Visa fee receipt and see B1/B2 on it hope that won't affect me, though am sure if the MRV fee work for the F1 category the F1 category should be indicated on the appointment confirmation .

Please kindly help me out on this . I NEED YOUR RESPONSE PLEASE!

Can MRV fee paid for B1/B2 category use to schedule another appointment for the F1 category?

It's the B1/B2 that is on the MRV fee, appointment has been made before, but didn't fill or submit the DS-160 form, and because of some issues that came up will not be attending the interview. I understand the MRV fee can only be used once more for another appointment, If I want to book another appointment later in the year can I use that same MRV fee for B1/B2 to schedule another appointment for the F1 category? and hope this will not affect VISA issuance when I tender the MRV fee receipthuh .

Yeah, sure, but not so good an idea. It has led to several “turn backs” on interview date previously because applicants weren’t able to get back in to complete filling the form, they end up filling another one without updating their profiles mostly....

Hi everyone & I hail all the gurus in the house, I & my family (family of 3) appeared for our b1/b2 interview yesterday and it went thus:
Vo (polite lady) : good morning
We: good morning (chorus)
Vo: passports
Me: slide in passports
Vo: why a you going to america
Me:...for our annual vacation...
Vo: where do u work
Me: I work wit Co xyz as blabla (my post)
Vo: what do u do (to my wife)
Wife: answered wit even more confidence than I did
Vo: have u traveled out of nig before (still focus on my wife)
At this point when my wife started highlighting country we've bn together as family and other countries she's been to for trainings the VO stopped her & asked one of the staffs (a guy) to lead us to the next counter & told him she had interviewed us...fast forward to d next counter
Vo(a guy with earphone on his ears): good morning
Wife&I: good morning
Vo: passport please
Wife: handed them over
Vo: typing for almost 2mins without asking us anytin (at this point my anxiety level had gone up)....
Vo: why are u going to america
Me: we are going 4our annual vacation &...
Vo: have u traveled out of nig b4
Me: told him where we've bn to together...wife also came in to defend countries she's been to for trainings (wife later told me I wasn't answering wit. Confidence enough & that was why she had to step up to d occasion)
Vo: returned all our confirmation pages printout & held onto our passport typing for almost 2-3mins (I'm sure pple behind must av bn wondering wat was going on)
Vo: brought blue paper wit their sorry msg& now returned our passports embarassed
Notice of the day:
1. I've never seen nor heard this b4 I mean move 4rm one counter to another
2. The VO.1 (d lady) had enough blue papers (denial papers) on her desk which she has been denying pple with but not a single white one (approval paper) was sighted.
3. Vo.2 typing for almost 2mins without putting a question tru to us... (though we blv d Lady must av communicated with him abt us, just our belief...)

PLEASE HOUSE WHAT DO THINK WENT WRONGhuh?
Well psychologically, what I observed about the interview is that when you were asked the question have you traveled out of Nigeria before? , which you were just supposed to give answer "YES" I believe the VO would have seen the stamps of the countries you have been to and if she wasn't clear enough she would then ask further question on the countries you have traveled to before, your wife was talking too much which the VO was not comfortable with that was why the VO had to stop her and pass you guys to the next counter. When the second VO started the interview all over again I can see your wife did the same mistake again, she also told you you were not confidence enough (which is not true) honesty if your wife had cautioned herself and allowed you to answer the question immediately you get to the second VO you would have answered the questions perfectly and concisely and you guys would have gotten the Visa. Your wife did over sabi (please no offense sir), thinking she could talk so much to please the VO. You can't please the VO you can only Convince them. and when you are convincing them it is very much better to keep your answer very brief and clear. Your wife said you were not confidence enough that is normal because the VO just started asking you questions, I can assure you you will balance up your confidence along the interview if your wife had not interferes.

With all these observation have elucidated above, I stand to be corrected by gurus in the house.

Thank you
