In the process of filling my appointment form, the school code was requested for and I entered the code on my I-20. It. Was started that the code is too long and max of 12 no is required.

Which part of the numbers are not relevant for this?

Thanks

Please I need someone who is presently schooling in Florida International university. Modesto Maidique campus preferred. I need the advice on how to secure my accommodation.

ThePianoGuy:
explain everything to the VO according to the way to stated it up

You are highly appreciated.

Hello the gurus in the house,

As am preparing for my visa interview a question just came into my mind that what if the VO ask me when and where I graduated?

I got my HND in 2009 in a polytechnic in south west nigeria and PGD in FUTA in 2015 and I used all these for my admission.

From your experiences, How can I answer this question ?

Thanks

Dear V.O,

Can someone who has been denied of B1/B2 visa in 3times still get chance to get F1 visa to do MS in America?

LagosismyHome:


There is another tread where VO addresses questions. It might be best to ask the VO if a visa given in December 2016 can still be used almost 2 years later

I know if you defer within a year but 2 years seems like a lot. Make sure this confirmed with a VO or if you see the rules online in order not to run into denial at POE.

Regarding 3 months... that a big no. It 30 days to be resumption

kindly provide the link to that thread where one can ask questions directly from VO

Very explicit.
Thanks sir.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ( STEM), previously Math, Engineering, Technology, and Science ( METS), is a term used to group together these academic disciplines. This term is typically used when addressing education policy and curriculum choices in schools to improve competitiveness in science and technology development. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.

Please, I need enlightenment about this STEM you are talking about. I have summitted my application to study MS in construction management in FIU, while my Transcript is delaying the whole process.

Like I said sometimes, we have a lot of people here who can pay for more than 10people to write GRE/TOEFL but they didn't feel like helping anybody.

Please don't let us discourage those that willing to help.
I benefited from this gesture and I paid with a proof of payment attached.

Good day Ladies/ Gentlemen.

I was here few days ago to make some complain about individual contacting me for standardized test registration. Up till now some still got the registration done for and still go away without a word after confirming the tests. Please I don't want to make enemy out of this cos remember I register that test and I have a copy handy. I know people in Nigeria who I can contact to locate you. Atleast we can get you on the day of the exam. You are not smart . It's simple I'm not registering test for free I told y'all already and if you don't need the or you don't have cash handy respect yourself and stay clear . Because after your registration you pay the discount I help others . Don't be greedy !!! I'm not registering on credit or hire purchase, if you have cash only because so many people need this test.

Don't block their chances!

NOTE: If you didn't turn yourself in in few hours I will be forced to attach your ID With the conversation both here and other forums


Regards,

PUBLIC NOTICE

To begin any process of standardized test now I will need a copy of ID. I did discount registration for 2 individuals today and they block me off and didn't send in Naira. I will be needing a valid ID before I register any examination now. I don't know why people in Nigeria still act this way! It's just to help millions here who couldn't afford the full test cash now they are trying to play smart.

Please enhance forth if you can't send your valid ID ( prefarably Int. Passport) that match the test name dont bother contacting me. Please kindly adhere to this instruction. And also if you don't have any reason to write exam don't contact me.


NOTE: Some people also send mssgs to me to give them the money. They will go register their self, Please I'm not sharing money , I'm not a politician.


Regards,

Dear Brother,
You have really surprise me. It was like a joke when I told you that am only having 10k at hand and you promised to register the GRE for me with that amount.

Though you may not like me to say this here but I still need to thank you for the gesture and appeal to our people not to misuse the opportunity.
Thanks bro.
God bless you

Hello people, I want to pay to wes for my transcript evaluation, Please how can I go about it? Thanks

Go to Wes.org and register. Follow the instructions.

NASU resume from their 3months old strike after a lot of damages to prospective students.

Lizzy55:
Hi people, I greet una.
I am new in the house and need your help and clarification.
1. Starting from now is there a time that is too early to schedule for interview for fall 2018?

2. I applied to just 1 school and was offered admission, is there a problem with this, do I have to lie to the Vo?
3. My uncle and my brother are my sponsors my uncle does not bear same last name as I, will this be a problem?

4.If one has been denied visa before in Abj can he go to Lagos in subsequent time and vice versa?

INTERESTED!

This is not bad in any way.
Also, it's not so attractive for proposing students.
But that fact remains that it worth pondering on and individual should pick his/ her own side.

It's an eye opener.

I should use this opportunity to congratulate the lucky pundits in the house that have been offered admission. I’ve been on this platform for a while noticing things as usual. I’m indeed happy because the mission of this platform is being fulfilled. I’m pretty sure potential grad students are seriously looking forward to hearing ‘welcome to America’ but these are the few points you should be aware of before leaving Nigeria. My first question is this, are you sure you really want to accept this admission offer? Oh! You’re surprised right? I’ll explain elaborately on this based on my experience. This time last year, I got a plethora of admission offers that I became bemused on the one to accept, and the ones to let go. I got an undergraduate degree in industrial chemistry from the university of Lagos, but I have never for once cherished what I studied. Throughout my university days, I never gained anything, I was never serious because I hated the smell of chemicals which emanated from the chemistry lab. I’ve always wished I studied chemical engineering. Upon graduation, I said to myself this is the best time to fulfill your chemical engineering dream. The truth is if I had known, I would have applied for an MS in chemical engineering, but because I wasn’t advised and based on ‘do it all by yourself’ phenomenon, I fell into a trap, and it took various deliberations before I was able to get out of the trap I got myself into. I knew I wasn’t going to get into top schools that offer PhD in chemical engineering because of my industrial chemistry background. I applied into 6 or 8 schools (not too sure), I applied for PhD in chemical engineering in three low ranked schools(with research areas that I don’t even like or have a fundamental knowledge of), I was eager to leave this country because I felt this country doesn’t have anything good for the youths. My first admission offer (PhD Chemistry) was from Michigan Technological University with a fully funded, amazing stipend package. I was like ‘wawuu’ I saluted myself, and said to myself, ‘Tobi, welcome to America’ I didn’t even wait for the second offer before I grabbed the first one and accepted it. Seriously, I made the biggest mistakes of my life by accepting that offer because I didn’t do enough research before; (I) showing interest in PhD, because research isn’t my thing, I’m always and will forever be in love with calculations, (II) applying into Michigan Tech, because the research areas are not what I consider funny. Not that I don’t like the research areas, I HATE the research areas. Plus, Michigan is a cold state, I went during summer, but the weather was unbearable for me, it was extremely cold and I’m allergic to cold. There was a day I was coming from school, I cried and said to myself, ‘Tobi, who sent you here! You want to come and die in America right?’ Plus, Michigan is more of a white man state, I was the only black in my department. Michigan is one of the coldest states in US, and that would have been a capital NO for me if I had done my research before leaving Nigeria. Also, I loathe trying new species of food. I’m a typical Ekiti man who’s used to our cultural foods, but it was difficult in Michigan because I couldn’t find any Nigerian store. I had no choice but to result into consuming biscuits, burger and chips for three weeks. There was a day I instructed one of my friends in Atlanta, Georgia to buy our normal foodstuffs in Nigeria for me in Atlanta, because there are quite good African stores in Atlanta that sell Nigerian foodstuffs. By the time I calculated the cost of shipping the foodstuffs to Michigan, I lost interest.
If you’ve made up your mind to leave Nigeria, please and please consider the following piece of advice;
(I) Do a thorough research on the school you’re going to, the state, and means of transportation. I faced a lot of challenges transporting myself because MTU is located in a small town. There was no train(I think train is the cheapest means of transportation in US), no BRT bus. I was left with two options, it’s either I board a taxi(very expensive) or I trek to school. My apartment was far from school, and what I did most was to trek.
(II) Please ask yourself this genuine question, why am I leaving for US? Are you interested in going to US because you’re tired of being jobless or underemployed in Nigeria? Are you going to US because you want to get a green card? Are you going to US because you have flair for international education, and research? Are you going to US because you just want to leave this country? Let me answer the questions one after the other. If the reason is because you’re underemployed or jobless, have you tried being self employed? https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/women-enterpreneurs/affiong-williams-makes-forbes-africa-s-billionaires-list/155376.html Did you know you can get grants to finance your unprecedented ideas? I’m very sure most people know Iroko TV, the CEO got grants to finance his idea and he’s a lionized young billionaire in Nigeria. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/b02cab5e-c378-11e5-b3b1-7b2481276e45 if you’re not called to be self employed, please and please, don’t go there because many are called but few are chosen. On a more serious note, what attracted me to US was the amazing stipends grad students get, but I was wrong when I got there. When I got my I-20, I was uncontrollably happy when I found out that I would be earning close to 500K naira per month after being fully funded. I was like I will have enough savings at the end of the month. Unbeknownst to me, US isn’t Ojuelegba where you can survive on 50K per month. I was staying in a one room apartment (three persons share one bathroom. Bathroom is also known as toilet in US.) and after calculating the yearly rent, I would be paying close to 2 million naira every year in what we call face me and face you apartment in Nigeria. That’s not all, I was also responsible for my health insurance, and other payments that would be made known to you when you get to the school. I realized the pay wasn’t what I anticipated. What’s left was passion, which I never had for the course I was given and the area of research that was available. I give crocodile smile whenever people tell me that they would work their asses off by combining multiple jobs in US. The truth is as a GA or RA, you will never have quality time for yourself coupled with the fact that you have projects you’ll be constantly working on. Disregard any of such information that tells you that as a grad students, you’ll have time for yourself. Especially students with science background (Eyin omo science student) be prepared to spend most of your day in the lab. If the pay is the reason why you’re going to US, please disabuse yourself from such fallacy. If you belong to the second category of people going to US because of green card, please think twice before leaving Nigeria. My first question is, are you ready to deny yourself of true love by marrying a citizen because you want to become a denizen? The bitter truth is not everybody would get citizenship through the means of securing a job upon graduation is US. Do you know how many US citizens are unemployed? The ones amongst us that might be lucky to get a good job in US upon graduation are the ones in top ranked schools. If you’re eyeing an unranked or low ranked school, have you thought of what would become of you upon graduation. Let me share a brief story of two persons with you. When I got to Houghton, Michigan, the only good experience I had was to meet some folks that graduated from Unilag. They told me the story of a Nigerian guy that concluded his PhD in MTU and returned to Nigeria to become a lecturer in Gombe State University. At first, I was like God forbid but on the long run, I saw it coming. I was lucky enough to meet the second guy, (this one is not them say) the guy got an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from Unilag and proceeded to MTU for his PhD. He graduated the semester before I clocked in in MTU. We got talking and he said he had to settle for a post doctoral program when he couldn’t secure a job. As I’m talking to you, he’s a post doc student in the department of chemical engineering. My question to him is what next after post doc? Unto my next question, are you going to US because you have flair for research? The people that belong to this category are the ones that would survive the grad school heat in US. Please don’t hesitate to accept that admission offer if you belong to this category.
Conclusions:
(1) I would advise potential admission seekers to apply for an MS program instead of the over prophesied PhD program because you can still bear unforeseen circumstances for 18 months instead of 5 years.
(2) If you’re interested in getting a good job in US upon graduation, please and please target top ranked schools in your individual programs.
(3) If you’re interested in the green Pali, please don’t lead anybody on in Nigeria before leaving because I must confess to you, black Americans are the true definition of beauty. You’ll definitely find a partner in US, but don’t ever make it obvious that you’re interested in them because of your ulterior motive.
(4) If you’re interested in pursuing a PhD program, please be sure that you love research, be sure you’re in love with your area of research because PhD is over demanding. PhD would take everything called life away from you for five years. This is not to scare you. You can do it because many Nigerians that aren’t better than you have done it. But don’t deceive yourself.
(5) If you’re more concerned about being a billionaire, please neglect grad school, and invest in your idea for five years instead of spending it in grad school with nothing positive at the end but a degree.
(6) If you have a good job or earn well in Nigeria, please and please stick to your job, don’t resign o because there’s no assurance that you’ll get something close to that upon graduation.
(7) For those interested in international education, please be very passionate about it. The end result is good. Imagine a situation where Dr would be added to your name. Oh my! it’ll be so sweet being called Dr Tobi Crowns in future. But don’t ever let go of your dreams because of grad school.
Conclusion: grad school is only interested in passionate applicants. PhD program is very demanding and be ready to pay the price. A PhD program in ABC is more demanding than BS in Electrical electronics engineering because you won’t just learn the alphabetical order but you would learn why A is A and why X has to come before Y and why B is called B and why M is an inverted W. Be prepared! Be prepared!! Be prepared!!! Grad school is interesting, but demanding.
Ask yourself this question, ‘why am I leaving Nigeria’? Please be sincere with your response. God bless you.

Excerpt from a friend's experience[/quote]

lolibunm:
Pls house I need to confirm the cost of evaluation of result.I mean the total cost of evaluation of transcript sent from Nigeria school to evaluation company

I paid $286 to WES few weeks ago for evaluation

[quote author=Walspring post=64785022]

You got all these under or within four years?

No. 2years each +1year NYSC making 7years

Walspring:


Sure he can get a visa but lemme ask you did he use 4 years for graduate and do Nysc ?

ND, HND, PGD +NYSC

goodemma20:
I wonder why this your friend is in the shadows and you are now his spokesman. Anyways, we do not know why your friend was denied the visa in the first place. just keep in mind that if that reason still exits, then he will continue to get the blue paper. But should it be something he can circumvent, then perharps, the VOs could have a rethink. It would be a total waste of time and money if he continues to visit the embassy when there are no significant changes in his profile....hope this helps

He is not on nairaland. He applied for B1/B2 visa on the instruction of his brother over there. Now he want to push for MS

Good day.

A friend need an advice.
He had been denied of US visa in 3time. Nov2014, Dec2014 and Apr2016.

He want to push for admission for MS in US. If the school give him admission, can he get visa been a regular costumer

Oga know all,
If you read the content of my post very well, it was stated there that "she had been searching for that major in cooperative studies and rural development.

That is why I requested for help and advice on her behalf.

Moreover, when ever you see an post been Petty to your standard, it doesn't take you anything to pass over it rather than Insults.

Just an advice


Habba!!! With all all her distinction, first class, Phd grade, she still can't do research on her own and on what she wants, e get as e be o.

If you really like her, tell her to put her request on this website first www.google.com, then you can start reading from page 1 here to see so many links that you can check schools and courses. [/quote]

House, a friend needs an advice .

She got Distinction in banking and finance in ND, 1st class in Bsc in banking and finance and Also Phd grade in her masters in banking and finance.

She was employed as an assistant lecturer in a Nigerian university into the cooperative and rural development department with a condition that she must add more credentials on that department within an accreditation year.

She has been searching for such Phd in that profession.

I wouldn't know if anybody can help with a useful information in terms of school and such major in US.

She is contemplating maybe she can ignore the school directive and settle for finance or related major and if the admission succeed with assistantship, she will resign.

Please HELP.

House,

my application is at the conclusive stage with FIU.

My Transcript is under processing and the school went on strike just yesterday. Though am trying to make some contact in the school for consideration for me.

Also, My TOEFL Exam is march, while their application closes on February 15th for fall 2018.

The question now is "
Can I go ahead to safe and submit the application so that I will beat the deadline ,while I will be doing other attachments?

What if my transcript did not reach them before the deadline line as I leant that there may be some delay through WES?

Walspring:


Below $300 but I advise you use WesIcarp which is the best and you can always request for a copy any time for the next 10 years.

So you mean with WESicarp, I wouldn't need to pay any money again incase I need it in future?

Also, how many year does this regular WES can last for?

House, with my ND, HND and PGD, how much to you envisage that WES can charge me?

My application is on the process with Florida International Uni. & Uni. of Florida. They didn't request for GRE but requested for TOELF and am writing it by march.

Any further advice?

Yes, you can. While many schools may have reached their application deadlines, some few ones still have theirs around March, May & even July. Come to think of it, there's still a Summer semester before Fall. It all boils down to how prepared you're for the standardized exams, & what schools you're look at.[/quote]

inbox me

Good day all.

From your experiences, can I still meet up with Fall 2018 admission,despite I've not taken my GRE and TOEFL?

yes.
