A big thank you to @damite2ky and @hallelujahvoice you guys are the real deal. Thank you for taking out time to answer my questions no matter how silly it was and everyone who in one way or the other contributed. My little advice to intending visa applicants its better to be over prepared than under prepared then pray. Stand in front of mirrors and practice to build your confidence,practice with hand gestures if it helps you express yourself better, normalise talking to urself about your answers and please dont gram,and when speaking to a VO make it sound like a conversation. Good luck

For anyone applied to WIU,

I submitted my application materials last week. And I got an acknowledgement a day after.

To my surprise, I received another email today telling me to send my docs.

Is it that there are different people sending emails to me from the school? Who could have acknowledged the first submission? Who could have acknowledged my recommenders' emails?

Please share your thoughts and suggestions.

W[s]hat crimes did the Christians and Jews commit against Muhammad before he commanded you to hate them?

Did he make attempt to make peace with them?


Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.
Sahih muslim 2167a


Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If I live - if Allah wills - I will expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian Peninsula.
Jami at-tirmidhi 1606

Jabir bin ‘Abd Allah said that he was told by ‘Umar bin Al Khattab that he heard the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) say “I will certainly expel the Jews and the Christians from Arabia and I shall leave only Muslims in it.”
-Sunan Abi Dawud [/s]3030

[s]Confusion everywhere. [s]We were also told then that fasting on the day of Arafat will expiate your previous year's sin and also give you license to see for the coming year.

You now wonder why Muslims conveniently commit sin, why wont they when they have fasted on Arafat to give them license to sin for the coming year

So which previous year sin is fasting in Muharram expiating again?[/s][/s]

1. If he has opted to make payment through the other channel, he can not make payment with debit card anymore. Talking from experience.

2. As a Nigerian, WIU will not accept app fee payment through debit card from you. It has to be through bank check or money order.

He only have two options, find someone in the US to make the payment for him or mail them politely to ask for app fee waiver.

Duisburg:
WIU guys, any update? I can volunteer to guide on your application and admission.

3 people in my group shared your post with me. You are not a nice person bro, and it is people like you that turn soft people to cold one. When you contacted me, I remember giving you quality time to discuss your case. I didn't even tell you to pay me until you ask me if I can help you. I clearly told you I was busy as I have personal works I needed to attend to and you need me to come on board to better prepare you for the next interview, you'd pay. I remember sighting 3 examples of Nigerians that were refused in Turkey and was told to come to Nigeria for their visas and they got it upon applying in Nigeria. They are on this thread. When I advised, I picked from experience of other applicants. I never said you cannot get your visa with your wife. I said you may need to drop her and apply first then she can join later. There's nothing in my chat with you that was negative or that said you cannot get your visa with your wife. So, why are you posting these about me? I remember telling you you can try and see how it goes. I have never told anyone they can't get their visas. I have been refused several times too, so what are you saying? You're an adult and should do things truthfully. You simply wanted to join the league of bitter Nairalanders.

I charged you 50K because that is how I test the type of people that come to my DM. A lot of people come to my DM for assistance, and I have had to assist majority without kobo. When I feel like placing a price tag on my time, those who genuinely value my time open up; those who have paid.

Not giving up worked for you; Congratulations.

that Twoods guy?.

I almost committed suicide in 2018 when this dude quoted me and said "you are failure, just forget about American dream and re-enroll afresh in a Nigerian University to get a better grade", "what were you doing when your mates were making 2.1 and first class".

As God will have it, walspring came to my rescue for TOEFL and GRE 50% discount as well as sevis payment. Fairheart came through for mocks. He was calling me with his credit days to my interview. Lagosismyhome came through for motivation and mentorship.
To the glory of God and shame of Twoods, I will be graduating with an MBA next week Friday July 30. With an estimated cgpa of 3.7/4.0.

Also got several honors including Beta Gamma Sigma which is the highest honor any business student can receive in the whole world.

Masters of Construction Management
Fall 2021


V.O: Which school are you going to and study plan

Me: I am going to usa for my masters in Engineering Industrial Management with focus in Construction management at Bowling Green state university, Bowling Green, Ohio Usa. A total of 33 credit research hour is needed for this program. 27 credit research hour in course work and 6 credit research hour in thesis work. courses will be taken in construction management, business operation and problem solving techniques in the construction industry.

V.O: why this course

me: Having worked for 8 years in the construction industry as a civil engineer. I observed that the construction industry is in need of skilled construction managers.
this course will equip me with the advanced skills and Technical knowledge of construction management. it will enable me to develop the leadership skills needed to manage complex construction projects after completion of my studies
in Addition, the course will improve my professional credential which will enable me to take up a senior managerial position in my current place of work after completion.

V.O How many schools did you apply to?
me: I applied to two schools; Bowling Green State University and Purdue University and i got admission into both schools

V.O Why Bowling Green State University
me: There are two reasons I choose BGSU
1. the cost of attendance of BGSU is cheaper to Purdue University. BGSU COA is $29,000 and that of PU is $50,000
2. BGSU offers graduate internship within the two years course of studies. the school has a strong collaboration with the industry. this will help to harness the skill, knowledge and theoretical practice of what is taught in class and the practical realities of what is on site/industry.

V.O Are you married
me: I am married with a girl and a birth day coincide with class resumption at BGSU

V.O Is your wife going with you

V.O where did you work
me. I told him

V.O How much is your salary
me I told him

V.O I will be approving your visa and he hands me the white paper.



My advice

Be confident , see it has a conversation with the V.O.
my interview lasted for about 4 minutes. I looked into his eye and was a bit fast because i observed that he did not want to spend more than 3 minutes with each applicants.

Lastly. Please pray
