Hmm... Thanks man

clapper04:
Not in the US yet but I think most guys renew their visas either in Canada or Mexico. fear dey always grip them to come to Nigeria for renewal.

Elders in the house biko, I am planning on renewing my F1 Visa and I would like to seek your advice. Would you advise I go to Nigeria or Canada?

A big congrats to you... Dang!

StrRock:
ISSUED OOOO
After 40days on AP
God is faithful

Lmao...

sharwama:
Yeah, I replied you but I just don't know what we will be doing after we "connect", adim baffled.

I'm glad that helped!

SOPWriter:
You cannot tell the positive effect of this on people in this category. Thanks for sharing!

Error you said? Not at all man! I don't wanna go into unnecessary details. It showed DENIED for 4 good business days...

Brown2Green:
You were actually issued.
The Denied was an error from the operator.

Its like a drop box where you select options and you click on the wrong option.

To those on AP, the best thing you can do now is to take your mind off it and channel your energy into something else. I have been there and I know how crazy it could be. Let me tell you how mine went. I was placed on AP for 10 business days (2 weeks) and the moment was full of 'drama'. My status showed AP for three days after my interview and then changed to DENIED. I was confused because my interview went well and the document withheld for confirmation was MY SCHOOL CERTIFICATE (BS). Strange? I know right. Then afterwards, it changed back to AP and then ISSUED.

To be honest, I knew I had done a lot of hard work to get myself to that point and couldn't allow stupid AP put me down. The moment I saw DENIED, I started preparing myself for another interview because I told myself I AIN'T THROWING IN THE TOWEL ... WE DIE THERE! I was now praying for my certificate to get returned so that I could start a new process. Na long story but let me stop here.

Be that as it may, you guys have been through a lot before getting to the point of AP. Take mind off it and focus on something else! Definitely, it shall end in praise.... Nothing do you jare.. bless up

Sorry for any typo, typing on motion blah blah blah

There are tons of schools that give full funding for you intending program. However, schools that fit Mr. A's profile may not be suitable for Mrs. B's profile. So, you may need to do a comprehensive search and note schools that are suitable for your profile. Usnews.com, gradcafe, quora.com will be good starting points

Credah:
Thank you... but do you have names of schools that gives full funding for PhD in computer Engineering.

Yes, it should be. But to be sure, you may wanna use unofficial Wes GPA calculator. You can search via Google.

Rabato:
Good day house

A GPA that is 3.79 on the scale of 5.0, will it be up to 3.0 on the scale of 4.0?

Good day everyone..
A friend of mine had her visa interview yesterday at Abuja Embassy and she really gained a lot from Nairaland...I deserve a trophy too because I am her mentor and coach..
Here is her transcripts
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: pass me your i-20 and passport
Me: passed it
VO: what is your research interest
Me: Organic synthesis
VO: how did you get the assistantship
Me: I did GRE and TOEFL
Vo: do you have friends and siblings in the US
Me: No
VO: your visa to us has been approved at this time..I no hear anything after that..
I collected my white paper and left..
She said the interview was not more than 15 seconds..so brief and concise I must say..
Special thanks to all the bosses in the house..you guys are the real MVP

Don't let the wrongdoings of man stop you from doing GOOD. if you really wanna help please go ahead and do so. God bless

martineverest:
donating blood is good ...but I feel the hospital Is trying to take advantage of this situation to lure the public to add more blood to their bank.

I wanna donate blood,but the fact that these hospitals sell the blood donated is discouraging

Am I the only one that is not understanding this? Nawaooo....

This is indeed sad! All in the name of election. All these people (Atiku, Buhari and Co.) are not worth sweating for talk-less of dying. The political players are just toying with and using helpless citizens. If Atiku wins, come next 2 years, Buhari may defect to PDP and vice versa.

I think our mentality is faulted! When the whites denigrate blacks we shout 'racism'! Are we (Nigerians) any better?... Well, in my opinion, I think we are worse.... We denigrate ourselves both by tribe and religion... not so cool!

It is just so saddening that some folks lost their lives for these unrepentant fools we call politicians. They are so selfish and use we citizens as tools for achieving their own selfish goals......

sigh!

Nigeria My Mother Land Which Way?

Fortitude to the bereaved families.

Good news up and down! Congrats to those with offers. May the other parts of the struggle comes through. For those waiting, your good news is loading. You will be favored.

I agree, the waiting period is tough. Kinda the same with being on AP after Visa interview.

It shall end in praise. Amen

So you really think the problem isn't from the leaders? Okay.... Don't you think they could have made many precautions like constructing good roads, banning vehicle with 'mechanical leprosy' and implement policies that could have prevented this from ever happening?.... Agreed, we need to take responsibility for our actions and inactions.But this wouldn't happen in a sane environment.

ChidiAlaigbo:
Leaders! Leaders!! Leaders!!!

Was the trailer driven by our leaders ?

We the common people of Nigeria need to start taking responsibility and to obey the rules and regulations of the road. Ki lo de!

My cousin is a senior member of FRSC and he tells me enough to know the average Nigerian driver is irresponsible and dangerous. The government has done everything possible to make the road safe but we are stubborn and difficult people. We make life so so hard for ourselves.

Hehehe... Providence Peoples Party! hehehehe... sounds like a Chinese that wont last....

Best joke of the year thus far! Next

Okay!
Can this election period just pass already....

If we could just vote in a new set of leaders instead of recycling what are meant to be in a recycle bin.... God go just dey watch Nigeria matter for Netflix

The fact is these people are fighting only for their gains. They care not about the populace... f*** them all.

Let's just call the British back to re-colonize us cos there is no hope for a better tomorrow with the way things are going!

What a tragic incident. It is really sad when things that can easily be curbed claim lives of innocent Nigerians that are trying really hard to meet their needs... This whole thing is as result of a failed system. Our leaders do not really care about the common people of Nigeria. I really look forward to the day the populace will rebuke this injustice. #thinkaboutit

May the souls of the deceases rest in peace and may God comfort their folks. Again, this is so easy to type and I may forget about this the moment I log out of NL but this will drill holes in the hearts of the people concerned....

May God protect us and our folks from untimely death we Nigerians do not deserve!

Haba....

Yes, you two can apply at the same time. Many have done this but you may wanna put other things like 'what is she gonna be doing there, how long she is gonna stay, what have you' into consideration. I hope this helps, I have little experience kinda. The ogas will give better responses

auriel:
Urgent advise needed.

As I am applying for F-1 visa, can my wife apply for F-2 visa at the same time?

I will appreciate your advise

Hope you have gotten it. If not, it is on their website https://ng.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulate/abuja/contact-us/

Bukyolami:
Please can someone give me the contact number of Lagos embassy no. Thanks

Congratulations on that score. First thing first, you need to pat yourself at the back for a job well done.
You see when it comes to GRE, a 'good' score is relative. It depends on the schools you are sending your applications to. Even if you rewrite and get 325, you may get denied. So, the one important thing here is school selection in respect to your profile... However, having a great score is a good in order to increase your chance of getting admitted.

In my opinion, I think you can make do of the score since you are an engineering major and you hit 160 in Q (not bad at all). You may wanna write TOEFL to polish your profile. Then, package am wella....

In a nutshell, you have what it takes to get admitted into all the schools listed.

Cheers!

scipy:
Hi guys,

Great job y'all are doing here!
I finally wrote the GRE after a prolonged wait. I hardly had time to prep for the exam and my scores reflect this (Q161 V149)

I am gunning for a MSc/PhD in Electrical Engineering

Schools of choice:

San Diego State Uni
University of Tennessee
Washington State Uni
Uni of Toledo

My unofficial WES undergrad GPA is 3.71/4.00 Electrical/Electronic Engineering
1 year work experience
No publication

I am a bit afraid about my scores being poor. I would appreciate advise on the choice of schools and any other relevant advice
Thanks guys!

Visa Approved. Dec 21st

VO: What are you going to the US for?
Me: my Master's degree in Plant Pathology at the University of Georgia in Athens.

(I think he noticed my GRA)

VO: What's your research going to be on?
Me: Molecular diagnosis of plant pathogens and development of effective disease management strategies

VO: What is molecular diagnosis?
Me: DNA-based method. Advancement of morphological technique. E.g. PCR... this involves DNA isolation and PCR analysis and subsequently search on the NCBI (I said the meaning of NCBI here) database to determine the genus and specie. (I said this all a little haphazardly).

VO: Are you married
Me: No

VO: Do you have kids
Me: No

I will be approving your Visa now. Pick up in circled location in 3 business days.

It was all God's Grace.

Thanks to all that contribute to this trend selflessly and responded to my questions including (but not limited to) Lagosismyhome, Ubah1, gboyegaD, 100kobo, fairheart... God's gonna bless you all immensely.
Special thanks to Jummybecks/Bassmana and Toakins... Words can't express the help they rendered to me.... God bless you both real good.

Congrats man! I wish you the very best

I agree with your take OP. Parents need to stop this. It is one of the major contributors to low self esteem, depression, and all.... If you know, as parents, you can't express love equally to your kids, Biko just have ONE CHILD. Besides, we need to control our population

This is a welcome development... Can't wait to start seeing the effect on the price.

BTW OP, how on Earth would president Buhari have commissioned the facility in December 2019? ABI he travel through time! Legendary bubu

same appointment

Gewezzy1:
but would i still get the appointment I had before or I have to reschedule

You can fill a new DS160 and then update your 'appointment' profile (or page, cant recall precisely)

Gewezzy1:
Yes i have another option, but i already filled his name on my Ds160 form, so i don't know how to rectify that
