anikemoses:
Hey, I understand your point,likewise a few others here i suppose, but there are just some risks that are not worth it, for me as a person, i prefer the blunt truth than for anyone to "romance" truth to me. You should know that some of us that has been here for a while are actually irked when we see our fellow country men going through hardships that could have been avoided if only they heed to advice. No one is against anyone coming down here as majority of people in Nigeria always think, but it is out of love that people do give first hand infos and advises of what is obtained here when one doesn't have funding or tuition fees for at least a year. I wouldn't go into personal details of how i was able to scale through until my final semester here without funding.It's really a tough experience to wish on anyone,That's the major reason none of you should view a blunt advise as been wicked or whichever name y'all terms it. In my short stay here i have been privilege to meet a couple of students from Nigeria that are going through hardship as a result of the "blind zeal" of getting a visa and coming down to US without proper planning.

I can go ahead and list some few scenarios that played out here, just last week an Indian student was trailed by the authorities to an outside campus job she was doing, they stormed her work place on plane clothes an after a couple of interrogation, she also implicated 2 other Indian students that are working there with her as well,they were all moved to their school ISO and instructed to terminate their service record and take whichever important belonging they have and there goes the free ticket to Bombay. I can go on and on to site some other experiences here with International students just to buttress my point. In order words. It is not worth the stress if you don't have fundings or tuition. My heart still bleeds for a classmate of mine, whom had no tuition and works all his days just to afford tuition and this last semester, he got the shock of his life, 3Cs, which is an automatic withdrawal from graduate school,he just kept weeping and they wouldn't even allow him transfer his credit to another school to start afresh. So y'all should know that this is America where there isn't short cuts to things, you can't serve 2 masters at a time.

My pathing shot will be for anyone coming here to plan very well before coming , else you will be frustrated and homeless moving from pillar to post with no help in sight, if your dream is to marry a per hour paid "akata" just for the sake of papers and you had no other choice, then just know you chose to settle for less, you are worth more than that and be ready for more frustration when you guys starts living together, a night with her will be like a night in hell.. I usually do not like to comment here for reasons best known to me but if y'all see anyone here still taking time out to give an honest advise, please appreciate he/she without resorting to name calling.Remember that no matter how smart you think you can beat this system, with the slightest of hard luck if you are caught, that will be the end of you and your generation ever making it here except the Law changes. A word they say is enough for the wise....Note that I'm in no way taking sides or discouraging anyone to come here,one of the few things I've learnt with people here over the years is that for every honest advise one dishes out, there is always one cousin or childhood friend giving them a counter fictitious advise to discard, but when you get here you will get to understand the true meaning of all man for himself, God for all..Good luck to y'all in your pursuit of your dreams.. Peace out.

Lol Na only you dey get all this kind of scary story Just kidding thou.. Thanks for the info it's helpful

TWoods:
That's fraud period. A job "under the table" means you're not paying taxes on what you earn, which is technically illegal. I find it amusing that you're being indignant about committing what essentially amounts to a crime. Secondly, did you tell the VO during your visa interview that you would need to work a job under the table to support your education? Isn't that lying to obtain an immigration benefit - another violation that would normally get your visa voided? You obviously submitted a financial statement claiming you had enough money to support yourself as a student - so basically that was a lie. As a student, you are not allowed to work at all in your first year...

So basically you're a lying, hypocritical, criminal... and you wonder why Nigerians have an extremely difficult time obtaining visas.

i wonder what has 'he working under table job' got to do with your business.. excuse my grammar lol hoe that one take be your business?

cecemat:

GboyegaD:
Don't you think it is embarrassing discussing someone you do not know this much? Sometimes when people do not declare all that was said and use bla bla bla, it is because of situations like this where we all analyze all and what not. For all you know, he might have just written the exam for the sake of embassy to prove his genuity to the VO.

no vex me just dey joke up and down

Travel Transcript.
-------------------

check in started arround 6pm and after that I proceeded to the immigration and he asked me where is my final destination is and i told and he asked me to give him christmas gift which i gave him 1k willingly and he stamped me(the guy that we were going together got stopped by another immigration officer asking him his admission letter, undergraduate transcript and where his father is working and he told him he has checked in his documents alongside his bag that he only needs his i20 and the man later allowed him to go).

We passed through screening and I proceeded to the boarding gate abi wetin dem dey call it. they did final check and we entered plane. it left arround 11pm(Turkish Airline) and we landed Antuark Airport 8.06am(turkish time) and we proceeded to our connecting flight. i was unable to eat the food, so i took tea, water and juice throughout. when our plane took off, i saw lot of water and i was damn scared but thank to God, we got to JFK 11.15am and proceeded to POE, i spent less than 2 minutes

CBP : Good Morning
Me : Good Morning, I passed my customs declaration, i20 and passport
CBP : Any foodstuffs?
Me : No
CBP : No dried fish? Smiling
Me : Not at all **smiling too**

She stamped me in and off I went and i waited almost 30 minutes for my host to come pick me up, Oh boy! The cold na die. my hands got stiffed and i had a running nose. na so i para for my host when wan come pick me up lol

so i went to a store, i bought some cake and a big fanta and i went to pay and [b]the cashier said "four eigthy two" [/b]You need to see my fear on my face and she smiled and pointed to one machine and i saw $4.82 and found peace with my heart .

Na yesterday I just ate good food. i no chop their chicken i ate my food without chicken make i no come turn to Yokozuna lol.

Went to walmart today and took some pictures in the snow as a village boy that I am

Lest I forget, on our way to JFK, I was a plane at the other side flying in opposite direction in the cloud and it was going at great speed with exhaust and i was so scared that the plane is about crashing as i was praying inside my heart . so hours later, i saw another plane with same condition and i now realised that it is normal maybe the same plane i dey is moving the same way.

God bless America but mehn that turkey airport fine like mad..

drops Mic

you have to get use to the bold part welcome to america bro. i remember how you started this journey and all .. Thank God for everything. see you at the top

imperiouxx:
I remember you now Akin.

@eniolagharxe, lot of people that missed their flights or have a long stopover do sleep in airports with no problems with anyone. Since you will be connecting the next day, you will stand a great chance of missing your flight if you leave, just like akin experienced. Also if you're staying in NY and have to go back to Newark, NJ, then you're ready to pay a high price just to miss the flight. You have to pay lot of money to get yourself to the airport and the cab may come to you late or run into traffic on your way back to the airport....... I don't think leaving is a good idea.

Thank God you remember me. Lol you helped me call the hotel management that time for booking thanks again bro. He should just try to stay warm because it might be cold.

ponpon:
There was a time we all were verdant, this kind of posts are not needed, one day texting or replying someone with this kind of question would give the person '' confam'' orientation

me just catching my fun brother.

dramaka:
My regards to her o.

okay i will

dramaka:
Na so we see am o.
You know, we are in the age where people want it quick and fast.

Let me say this to all newbies, don't be upset, but it's worth the taking...there is so much information hidden in past threads, much more than anyone would be giving now in a single direct reply...so much. If you'd take the pains and go through previous threads (you don't even have to start from Part 1...you can pick any in-between) I tell you, you would not need to come and ask the ubiquitous question of which-affordable-schools-do-not-require-GRE-and-TOEFL-but-just-upload-of transcript-can-I-apply-to-for-XYZ-program?

This post funny die. some will even ask for the school wey no require visa and school wey go pay visa application fee and sevis fee plus plane ticket.

dramaka:
Baba!!! You go fear na

Happy new year to you in advance. I will be in fisayo's house tomorrow 31st

dramaka:
Lol...it has entered since na...

Sure.. Na 11pm the thing enter. i monitored them die. i no know say you self dey track am LOL

texrem:

oops anyone can just mention anyone in their transcript e no mean anything.

dramaka:
Mister, what are you doing here at this time? Oya gooan sleep!

lol I am patiently refreshing my PNC

nellyalph:
You took the words out of my mouth. Both in school and recently, I saw two white girls sitting outside Wal-Mart like they were homeless. Even at the airport too, especially towards the evening.

maybe their destiny is tied to the floor

Olayinka15:
Hello house, is it possible to apply for visa after date of resumption written on i-20, if 16th was given on i20 and one later chose to do interview on 19th....can that be accepted?

Never !!! it is not possible.

djmakson:
Exactly what I had wanted to say. He could have written the exam for the sake of it which presents him to the V.O as a genuine student regardless of the admission. To each it's own. You can see the follow up question where he was asked about the challenges he had writing the exam. Things like this make your life story interesting, when things you were pessimistic about turn out in your favour.

if he had issue with his quantitative because he had little time to do calculations which really way him down, what about his Verbal? definitely, he must have had issues with reading as well which perhaps way him a little bit up because 132 is greater than 131. Hence, Proved !!! .

Abeg what's the difference between them

texrem:
When someone got denied isn't anybody's business. You need to have this mentality and highly oriented that " Nobody owes you Nothing". I've devoted my time for alot of people who eventually got their visa for spring even during my exams. Put your trust in God as I always tell those I vet their transcript and do mock interview for. Mudi did not get back to me when I did mock for him and I told him he wasn't prepared at all. He never called back for me to tutor him well. So, on this note you don't expect me to run after you. You re the one in need, you keep on pressing. I'm the busy type and I still find time to respond to people's inquiry swiftly. So, cecemat go and take chilling pills. All I expected from you is to keep on practicing and praying. Send private emails if you need help. I've reponded some days back to your inquiry, vet your interview transcript and you did not even bother to call for mock interview for me to ascertain your confidence level. It's about proving you re a genuine student to the VO that will guarantee your visa and God.

If you're denied..refire and go get your visa. It's your visa. I mean na your visa. Get it and fly.

I was denied 3times. Here I am..make we leave stories. Na God all the way. But heaven help those who help themselves. Wishing you guys coming for spring safe trip and those still going to the embassy will get the visa in jesus name.

I pledge allegiance to this family... I remain your humble texrem.

Happy new year in advance.

Nb: I never retire to dey vet and to dey do mock interview.

PEACE!!!

Give us examples of people you helped for spring semester ?

rattlesnake:
i doubt this story how can u get admission with 132 GRE

you don't have to doubt the story.. if someone can get admission with no GRE then one can get it with That kind of score. However, the score is just kinda doubtful but nothing is impossible sha

alldmoney:
Well let me start from saying kudos to you guys my stories start back then August 2015 if you remember @Justwise @goddfrey and others anyway let me leave that .. fast track got to USA embassy thought it was a joke lol I got denied sha just like that and it went like this as of 21 December 2016
Vo:- as the guy look my face don't know what he is looking ( how old are you )
Me:- 25

femi321:
Americans that will even sleep on the floor, They dont give a damn

sure they were sleeping on the floor that day. Americans no even care. Whenever we are waiting for class self, you go see them sitting on the floor..lol

LagosismyHome:
wetin concern immigration people with your sleeping in the airport ...... they are doing their work and you are roaming around or falling asleep on a chair. They dont bother you at all

i slept in that same new jersey (Newark airport) after missing my connecting flight. The fact that i can't afford to waist another 100$ for the hotel
i lodged on my first day in NJ made me do so. so if he like he should listen to me. He will even see some americans there sleeping due to the fact that they need to catch an early flight and their home is so far away from the airport.

eniolagharxe:
ah?...Abeg o...sleep at the airport keh...I'm still Hopeful...PLEASE...I NEED JUST A NIGHT CRASH...NEW JERSEY PLEASE...I CAN SLEEP IN THE KITCHEN SEF JUST FOR ONE NIGHT

Here we go


Vo:pass me your passport
Me:I did
Vo why Wartburg
Me:cos they have a well structured curriculum that's practical oriented
Vo:how many school did I applied to and name them
Me:Wartburg, uni of Indianapolis, Barry uni and mckendre
Vo did I take any test like sat or any
Me yes took ielts and I got 6.0
Vo what's ielts
Me. Told him

And he said sorry he can't approve my f1 visa

Your response to why the school is a generic one. Also My advise is that you should always have at least 2 to 3 reasons why you picked a school and try to come up with 2 to 3 good reasons why you want to study a course. these are the key questions in Visa interview. By the way, is Wartburg a german school ? LOL just kidding though. try to refire and before you go, meet with people who can vet your transcript and get some advise from them. Just my 1 cent
