And while doing what RR said, take some time and read through few parts of this thread. Seeing is believing.

You need to prepare yourself.

PS: The school is state university.....good and refusal on your passport has nothing to do with your visa. Only if question arises, then you defend yourself.

topzy2000: Hi Guys,

I just started following this thread after my interview and am amazed about the wealth of information found here.

I did my F1 Visa Interview in Lagos on the 9th of May and was denied. The summary of it all and what I suspected went wrong was I gave the VO a cover letter with Fixed Deposit statement (7million) from my Dad alongside his bank statement which was about 1 Million.

She spent more time looking at the Bank Statement than the Fixed Deposit. Wondered whether I should have put the account statement in the first place.

She then looks at the bank statement and looks up some figures pasted in her cubicle. I guessed there's a certain amount she was looking for or maybe the exchange rates.

My School is IIT (ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY). The fees are quite high and the fee for one year inclusive of accommodation on the I-20 is 36,000 dollars which is roughly 5.8Million. The school has good courses thats why I choose the school despite the costs.

Now I have booked an appointment for next month, I am thinking of taking the 7 Million Fixed Deposit with an account statement of the exact fees for a year (6 Mill). What do you think?

Do I need to get an affidavit that my Dad is sponsoring me or is it necessary? What else do u advise. Other interview questions were ok.

Adolite: House..One of my friend wishes to do his PHD in any related Project Management program and want me to suggest some schools for him but i dont really know much about it. Can someone pls suggest some nice schools for him. Thanks.

kofsy:
I plan getting GRE and Toefl. But then, don't I need to fill the schools I want to attend in the GRE/Toefl form? I saw some good schools that are 'topping their leagues' when it comes to Msc. in Clinical Psychology, but their tuitions scared me off. I don't want to put my hope on a scholarship that I may or may not get that's why I settled for MSU. Is there another way I can go about it? I mean, apply to a better school with a high chance of getting scholarship; a full-scholarship for that matter. Pls I need your assistance. Thanks

pinkyz: @loverencha thanx broda,..and congrat to you too. please can we talk more privately? i wasnt given scholarship? did you apply for one?...were you given a toefl waiver or u wrote toefl exams

pinkyz: i got scholarship, because once you get admission, you automatically have scholarship,...am based in kaduna thats why i choose abuja which is close to me.i havent taken any standardized test. irrespective of the waiver letter,..i will still write the toefl to be on the safer side,...am wishing we all gud luck

henryogb: hello house i submitted my ds160 online already and i got an interview date but the problem now is i have a wrong passport number ...what do i do need your help asap

Mystiqme:
Hmmmmmm!
I think we should revive the Life in USA thread for extracurricular activities

imperiouxx:

Ok, no more f word..... Abi? Clap for ya self! Fucck the Indians crowding everything for us. Even the STEM bill will only benefit them more than anyone else if it was passed.

imperiouxx: sigilolu156 and Adolite should stop all this abeg.

mr swagger check your post, it's coming as spam

Mamacita007: Adolite!!!! hmmmmmmm

sigilolu156:

Dude I was just looking for advice. Obviously, unlike u I don't know everything. U need to relax being a know-it-all just makes u look the fool. Oh and next time if u don't have constructive advice do us all a Favour and don't comment.
Thanks .
Imperiouxx: thanks for the advise!! I will look into RA positions.

imperiouxx:

How is staying in ND different from staying in Nigeria? That's the question you need to ask yourself. I chose to live in NM because I don't have to be in the midst of Nigerians to live my life (though hard but fine). Just embrace it once you get the main thing - GA and live your life to the fullest. It's just for short time, after then you can move to city for hunting either job, money or wifey.......lol

technolee: Master imperiouxx, many thanks to you for you response. Uni. North Dakota (UND) just offered the admission without a scholarship statement yet. I mailed the graduate school and my department anyway and I hope to get one be it tuition waiver, TA,RA etc. What I need to know more about is live at UND as compared to texas, west virginia, oklahoma, etc is it worth staying there. Thank you once more as I await your ever dependable suggestions

Mart d dart: is there a reliable means of actually seeing the best schools that not only suit my personality but also has the neccessary facilities that will enable me excel...I intend on studying law or any course along those lines, I'm also interested in a suburban environment with as many students as possible..I'm open to school suggestions

Yvete:

I'm learning not to take people on here too seriously. Lolz. Nairaland travel section is funny. One person will post a question on this thread for students visa, visiting visa for the UK, France, Germany, Turkey, Canada, Australia at the same time. Lolz. ...Even Cambodia, WTH?

imperiouxx:

Ok then, go to your school's physical plant for job like ground, car pool, carpentry, moving etc. 8am to 5pm (8hrs) @ $7.50/hr or base your state's minimum wage/hr. If you have a good supervisor who can accept you as research assistant(though I no no ya field), then it would be absolutely muuuuuah!. I have never worked elsewhere than in my lab since I got here - either during semester, summer break or winter break ........It's always lab4life!

Mamacita007:

llooollll u no well. Ur tattoo is nt really showing too well in the pix.

Yvete:

Eh-yah! Your background check reveals nothing. Mr. Imperiouxx is a good man. If I tell you some things about Imperiouxx, you'd be impressed. Although when he's having a bad day at the lab, he pours his frustration on one innocent lady's head,(Innocent indeed) [/b]but such is life. Heheheee

Adolite, wassup with that your girlfriend? ... and didn't know you are tatted UP!

Real-Mccoy:

[s]How are we sure you got A in English when you can't construct a simple sentence? Are you french?[/s] It's not my intention to disrespect you, when we were younger, our parents told us they had the best grade in class, [s]which makes me to wonder about whose parent was last in their class[/s]....

imperiouxx: mamacita&nice4life

Mamacita007:

Adolite adolite adolite .... hmnnnnnnnnnn llooooollll how nau? how is ur semester so far with ur tattooo hahahahaa

Mamacita007: lllooooooooooll why are u bothering yourself. They av heard that this school is bad but they're looking for easy ways to go abroad thats why to even write gre is a problem. They're just trying their luck becos gre costs almost $200. Why will they write exams that will be useless becos they wouldn't attend classes when they reach here. Be dere preaching for deaf pple.
