Me I no fit laugh for both of you. What I know be say: That Amelica, if person no truly believe in God, he can easily believe no God exists with easy life and access to basic necessity of life.

...until you see life from another side, and all you have to do is depend on Him
It's not all roses..

[color=#990000]Noted LagosNIV, Well besides the reason I gave initially, I think I made mention of, they have an attractive course curriculum which best suits my profession. in addendum to that, there are some courses I discovered that are super interesting and I have this enthusiasm to learn them, eg. Management organisation and leadership, Technology and Computer Innovation, which would help me after my studies. From my research, I would have access to their well equipped Electronic Library which is updated every session with affordable electronic textbooks, for some students like me who would rather opt for books than food

Courses they don't have in other/better schools? You really need to sharpen your answers or select a better school.

kallowdean:
I beg beans (Ewa Oloyin) dey allowed in to USA
Am actually going to Atlanta

Go ahead

vivyval:
Use southwest !


Local flights in the US very strange


You wee pay for flights normally


Pay for the seat you wee seat on separately

Still pay for you checked in bags and if too much you pay additional fee

Are you sure there is no payment for walking around the airport or breathing the air?�

Southwest flights yeah will take care of checked luggage, but will not show up on most third party flight booking websites including google flights. Typically, you would have to go to their site and arrange the booking separately from your international leg. They can be lot cheaper too, for those that don't know

Hello house,So I reached USA on sunday morning and I thought to share my travel/POE experience.

So far,U.S has been an awesome experience for me since I neva travelled out of the country before.I'm thrilled with the level of advancement,security and quality of life.I wee not say anything abt Murtala mohammed international airport until you people sees Hammad airport(Doha) and luguardia airport that is supposed to be a local airport here.
To all others coming on this journey...Safe trip and best of luck.

LaGuardia is actually one of the worst airports in the US

The process starts with you registering first with the school you have its sevis numbers to secure visa. You can transfer after a semester. Goodluck!!

He doesn't have to spend a semester there before transferring except the school decides to not release his SEVIS info..someone has outlined the process

whyqueu:
In fact , its a blue Flag ..lol... You are good to go my dear , you have 100 % chance of getting your visa . The Vo knows you cant have the money for your studies all by yourself , except if you are financially buoyant .. Been married has nothing to do with your father paying your bills !!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you know?

LagosismyHome:
I never said there is a problem traveling after one year . I said it more of a struggle to find a job ......

Actually, that's not a problem as well. I have quite a few friends with ZERO experience who got good jobs right off school.

Jesusbabygirl:
Lol, don't mind me. My love for Nigeria is only second to my love for my husband.

We'll see about that in a few years

OluDare01:
Even the VOs know that most people are not returning to Nigeria

So..just like a student on an F-1 visa (who presumably must have demonstrated non-immigrant intent) will not be sent back to his/her country or denied just because they at some point later apply for a visa with some kind of immigrant intent or permanent residency, visa officers typically need to prove that a prospective student does not already have an intention to immigrate even before entering the country. Most students choosing to stay and work would probably be classified by VOs as those who made those decisions some reasonable time after. This of course can be subjective
In fact, USCIS has their own way of double-checking this using time between when the individual enters the country as a non-immigrant and when they start processing such immigrant visa or GC.

Ability247:
Please ladies and gentlemen in Trumpland, what mobile carrier would you advise a student that doesn't intend to spend a fortune on airtime and (especially) internet, but also needs internet freedom/privacy... even the possibility to use a vpn if one so desires and ability to share hotspot with one's laptop?

Is it AT&T? T-Mobile? Sprint? Sim card-giving companies instead? (I don't know their names), etc? Your insight will be invaluable o. Thanks in advance.

Type Lycamobile,ultra mobile in the search box. There have been lots of posts on that.

emmy994:
No I didn't. Had to say that cos I didn't know how it was going to look like saying I got only one admit.

You guys should be careful of what information you take away from here...at least past few years/parts. And for those advising people to lie, you may be a good liar while others are not. Things like this can can create serious visa eligibility problems if caught!
I've said it before. Lots of people have applied to a single school and gotten their visas. It's not on its own a criterion for denial.
He who cares to listen should.

teetea06:
What of Samsung Note 4,will it work in the US?

Like I said earlier, check the specifications of the phone. If you already have the phone, just bring it along and try.

Ability247:
I lost my smartphone and I plan to get a replacement. However, someone said my smartphone would be useless in the states as the networks won't match. That I'll just have to discard and buy phone there. Another said I can buy a US sim and use with my new phone. That buying a phone there is expensive and better bought here. Please those who are already there, which is accurate? Not having a smartphone sucks at the moment for someone like me, but i don't want to buy something I would have no choice but to decommission in 2 weeks time or so when I travel.

Check the 3G and LTE frequency bands on the phone you have..and then look up the bands/coverage of the carriers you are looking at in the US. Note that a phone that uses a removable sim (GSM-based) would most like not work with CDMA-based carriers like Sprint and Verizon..and you don't have to buy an expensive phone, to support all the bands you need here.
Your phone will most likely have LTE coverage most of the time here, if those bands are supported.

LagosismyHome:
Then why didnt you buy jfk instead of dulles.... sometimes it might be possible to end it at jfk but depends on if the airline has checked your bags to its final destination...if yes then no its not possible

As for supper shuttle expensive...i dont think so but expensive is relative . When u calculate how much to get you from Dulles to your door in Baltimore by grey hound or sypper shuttle i am sure difference no go dey

As for grey hound in DC to Baltimore

Step 1.: Start by taking the Washington Flyer bus from the airport to the West Falls Church Metro station.

http://www.washfly.com/coach.html

Step 2 ..: At the West Falls Church Metro station, get on an Orange line train going towards Metro Center station in downtown DC.

Step 3.: At Metro Center station, change to a Red line train going to Union Station.

Step 4 : Get off at Union Station and walk three blocks to the Greyhound Bus station, which is located at 1005 1st St, NE. ....alternatively train dey too at union station

At Union station you have the train Amtrak that goes outside DMV area .... so i would think a train goes to baltimore from there so faster than if u take a bus

He needs to be aware of Metro closures or he'll just be stranded. For someone coming for the first time, shuttle is not a bad idea.

meritdee:
Is anyone coming to Baltimore/Rosedale MD?

Just saw you already discussed with akandry.

Wine52:
Good day, I did like to ask if I am applying to four schools am I to pay all four application fees or is there a way to get a waiver

Yes, it is possible. Ask them if they have some criteria for that.

Helkayklassic:
I am about to make payment for the evaluation. I was thinking after the evaluation the first one will be mail to school for free. I added recipient, one school address and the price increased from $212 to $248. What do i do please?

You quoted the wrong person, but I think that might be because of additional shipping cost. Check the breakdown.

akandry:
Anybody in baltimore city Maryland pls!!!!!! I need your help.....Thanks

What do you need?

mukina2:
Codes sent.

Please indicate your team name and position from last season.

I didn't get the codes

mudi1012:
Good day house , please i would like to know if the immigration officers will write on the I-20 at the POE ??

What are you expecting them to write?

iekene:
Anyone staying in California ? .. Please PM

I hope you know California is about half of Nigeria in size. You want to be more specific..

luzon:
Happy for all getting their visas approved. Mine is tomorrow at the Lagos consulate. This will be a second trial after a failed attempt in Abuja.
The little problem is I filled in 'no' unknowingly for the question of if I had been denied visa before. Hope it won't count against me. How can I defend myself if it comes up.
Going for a master in theological study. Any tip would do.
Would have posted my transcript but I couldn't log in not until today, but I have been making up by following the thread keenly.

Unknowingly? why didn't you correct it after you saw it? Well...the interviewing VO will decide if it's actually little or not.

highfidelity:
Hi everyone, here's a summary of my current profile;

BSc Electrical/Electronic Engineering from a reputable university in Nigeria
CGPA: 4.95/5.0 (BGS)
GRE: V158 Q162 AWA 5.0 (1 month prep)
TOEFL: Not yet
Internship: 6 months with a multinational company
Excellent Extracurricular activities (Andela and the likes)

I'm interested in learning about schools that offer full scholarships in the US. I've being doing some research for months about this, and am currently applying to one of the ivy league. I would also like to know some ambitious, moderate, and safe schools that I can consider for fall 2018 intake or applications.

Make sure to include UT Austin. You'd have to apply early to be considered for funding though.

LagosismyHome:
Laptops were never banned what changed is that for some airlines ... it can no longer be in your handluggage but must be in your checked bag... so i would suggest you wrap your towel and clothes around
Your laptop in checked bags due to the way they throw checked bags around

Yes not all airline is involved. The imposed restrictions are on flights originating or passing through 10 airports in eight countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Turkey. For more info or the current status

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_electronics_ban

Qatar,Turkish along with Emirates and Etihad airlines are now good...to have laptops as carry-ons

cuspy:
I hereby call for a census! And Electronic go be Jega

Fall 2017 approval rate seems greater than 2016 oo.

Well, wetin concern me?

Not every Fall 16/Fall 17 international student(prospective or current) is on nairaland..or even post their approval or denial transcripts, for those on here!

shakol91:
VO didn't give him reasonable time to defend himself could that be as a result of not detailed job profile on DS160?

I could be a lot of things. Keep reading through this thread, and earlier ones. That'd give you tips and confidence for the next interview.

ogoji:
My Oga its seems UTA doesn't allow for external health insurance policy. please what are the alternatives if any sir.

Actually, they still accept waivers. Only has to be ACA compliant (started when Obamacare went into effect). Check healthcare.com. The popular one I think is the UnitedHealth balanced HSA 3000C-it's cheaper and I think satisfies all their minimum requirements. You might have to pay extra $60 for Global Emergency Services coverage, but still cheaper nonetheless.
