Hi, what point after getting an offer can one discuss H1B sponsorship? I have an offer which I have accepted. They know I'm international but no mention of H1B visa. I'm in the STEM field so I plan to use OPT after I graduate in May.

Please house is it advisable to apply for both scholarship and GA together. Will they complement each or cause a problem if both are given.

Hello Nairalanders!!!
I'm preparing for my VISA interview which is scheduled to hold by Jan 4th(some wks from now). But I've got my dad staying in US on an LPR visa. My bro stays there and is currently in a medical school (He is an indigene). My question is this..... will their status in US slim my chances at the embassy
My bro in Nigeria is footing my bills cos my dad retired before moving to US.
Thanks!

@biikeys

what do you intend to do after graduating..... Get a job, raise money & blend my chemical & proposed CS knowledge to my advantage...

just stick with CS if you studied that in your UG.... but I didn't

Btw you'd have to really convince the VO....ya, I know it would be quite difficult considering my UG & masters don't relate. What do you think about the idea of get an admit similar with my UG, then transferring the I-20 to the one with CS admit.

deWav:
Please, i need your constructive advice.

I'm a tech savvy guy, never been tutored but somehow catch up on tech. I intend changing to computer science from chemical engineering(fantastic field, but feel like conquering another) for masters.

Here is the thing; considering both fields are dissimilar, is that a red flag for the VO?

GPA:3.01/4.00 (WES unofficial)
GRE: In a couple of days

thanks Boss,
Please is this a normal process everyone goes through or some special cases?

You were probably registered under your uncle's policy cuz that amount is next to godliness I teeyu!

He's in Maryland and I'm paying $143/mo full coverage on a 2008 Toyota Camry in same state.

Sometimes its hard to figure out why some quotes are that crazy.

meritdee:
His premium is definitely going up. But before you are given a quote, there are so many stuff they'll consider. How busy your route is and your neighborhood (city) is definitely gonna affect your quote. Also your years of experience as a driver, sadly they only determine this through your US driver's license.

gunther6:
Na GEICO I dey use o and Na liability I dey( $137/month) , those thieves quoted more than ($200/month) for full coverage. And baba I fit walk o nothing do me but I must still do therapy just to be sure and I'm fighting that 50/50... Even the police report from the scene blame the guy and I get eye witness

Hello guys,

sirRiddy:
imperiouxx it is a ponzi scheme that has been
controversial in Nigeria. It was found by a Russian
criminal and it has gone mainstream in Nigeria now.
Even the federal government and the CBN have disavowed the program
which has invoked backlash from those who are into it.

No its not a community college. It's a private college owned by Lutheran Church in moorhead, minnesota. So pls how can I pay the sives fee and what is the sives all about. Thanks.

brightify:
really sorry your denial,but going for another degree in information technology doesn't make sense, it just look like going for another degree in computer science because both course are similar, so my advice is for you to defer and change your course or you go for masters

LagosismyHome:
Sorry about your denial but i think i have mentioned it to you. .... you have a Bsc in Computer science so to say you are going for another bsc in information technology is very hard to convince a VO. .... both degrees are very similar and doesn't show progression. Especially when your first degree is from Uni of Ibadan which at least in Nigeria standard is a reputable school so u should show progression

lovelani:
Hi guys, my visa was delayed on Monday by 7am window 9, the hall was crowded and vos kinda strict that day.

I had an admission at Central Michigan University, but like I posted earlier in this forum, the major in my i20 was liberal arts and sciences, I sent an email to the admission school asking why that was given when I was expected to have Information technology, they relief that, that's the norm that the main major shall be given up on arrival at the school, I had no choice but to start studying on what liberal arts and sciences is all about.
Now back to the interview. Which last for less than 2mins
In the cubicle were 2vos, I guess a junior was standing while the senior was sitted and he interviewed me.
Vo: what's your study plan
Me; im going to cmu to pursue a bachelors in liberal arts and sciences which will last approximately 36months
Vo:What was your previous degree in,
Me: computer science from the university of ibadan.
Vo: what benefit will this course be to you
Me: it will boost my managerial skills and make me more effective in my communication skills and my mode of reasoning ethically.

Next he typed for like a minute and gave me the 214b booklet and my passport.


Now, I've contacted the school and explained everything to them, they apologised and even said they are making my case an exception and giving sending me another I20 that will have the major in information technology, , the officer suggested that I should defer the admission till fall intake as time may not be OK to book for another appointment. School resumes 9tj January for spring.

Pls guys walspring, textrem, others kindly advice if i should defer toll fall or go ahead and book another appointment and also will going for another bsc be a problem?

Revised , saw this online which is slightly similar to yours
it states that Yes, in your case you can enter the U.S. on your B1/B2 before the 30days , then go to a DHS local office to adjust status to F1 when its within 30 days ........ If you simply tell the DHS officer at the port of entry your purposes of travel and your intent to change status to enroll in school, you should have no problem...... This means you dont have to stamp in and out and can simply go to local DHS office to adjust your status . That is accourding to the consular officer response

Good afternoon
I would be going for Masters come March 2017 , I have my admission letter and i20 with me already, here are my questions
I would be going for my interview Mid December , is it. It too early to go?
I have a score of 323 in my Gre and 70 percent in EPAT English profirincy and aptitude test , is it compulsory I go to embassy with print out of those scores ?
Lastly as funny as it may sounds if VO ask how would this make me achieve my goal in life , how do I answer? (I am going for M.b.a)
I have been to 2 countries in the past as well , what are my chances of securing the visa ? Not a do or die affairs anyway
Thanks
