I have been reading about all this Indians deported at the POE especially LA and Chicago it got my blood up!!! I'm expecting gurus to come here and give us pointers please.

LagosismyHome:
....lol. however

Howard is actually a very good school. ..... need to throw that out there because of all the jabs about Howard verus Yale some people here might get the wrong impression that its not a good school. .

Yes it's a HBCU which might not be to everyone taste but a good or okay school with a powerful recruitment and funding options .

Lamlam79:
Then your post might be misleading to Gratefulaheart or others with There ,.. it was stated to think thats the definition of a dependant on F2 .... F2 dependants are only spouse and minor children . Grandparents , parents or relatives cannot be on F2 visa as mentioned by aadeyi. They fall under B1B2

Lamlam79:
Sir this is Wrong , Only the spouse and unmarried minor children (under 21 years old) of an F-1 or J1 student are eligible to enter the United States in F2/J2 dependent status. Frequently international students wish to invite their parents or other family members to the U.S. to attend graduation or for a visit can only do so under B1/B2 visa

aadeyi:
The definition of dependant that I understand is someone who depends on you for survival but I might be wrong if this doesn't apply to US visa. The one in question cam make her researches.

Mekurexx:
But she is not a US citizen. Besides the kid is in Nigeria. Dont you think at POE she will be asked for proof of provisions made for the kid on the i20? It will be a big gamble if its not indicated on her I-20 cuz she will be traveling with the kid and her intent is to study

Mekurexx:
Also at the POE, your i20 will be checked. And if it only shows provision for you alone and then you show up with your kid, I believe it will raise serious questions. That is the reason for the dependent notification on the i20 request form. Its best to do things accordingly

dickoflife:
Hahaha, ogbono made from heaven.. What I generally advise people to do is bring as much native wears as possible that is the one thing they will miss. Jean and tops plenty for amelika... The food aspect is taken care of by african markets but learn how to spot fresh food by going to market in nija here for a week or so and also learn how to shuffle places to get best cost.. A kilo of eggs in pereokrostal cost more than at the local market. So just compare before you buy to get a good price.

DaniLeo83:
Can a prospective employer sponsor an F1 applicant for graduate study?

Walspring:
Community college is the same as our polythecnic here and it is a 2 years course and after that you can transfer to a university..

Since you heard the app is free then who ever told you that was right.. Don't you believe the person ?

Well I will need to contact the person first and ask for permission.

fizzile:
The problem we have in this country is lack of information. How can u say students do not work off campus in the UK? Who gave u such information? Those that are working while studying nkor? And who told you after 12months u will be on ur way back. biaaaaa...get ur information right so that people don't get wrong view about UK studies. After your 12months of study, u have an additional 4months to stay back of which people work. People work during studies, and many finish their coursework even 2 to 3 months before the one year and have adequate time to work. Inasmuch as the post study policy has changed in the UK, stop making it look like students don't work in the UK. Policies are bound to change anywhere in the world, afterall it wasn't like this some years back in the UK.

I could remember vividly when I joined this thread, I needed quick answers to my questions but unfortunately, nobody answered me.
My first 4 posts were ignored, I was angry but not hurt.
So I decided to start reading part 7 from page 1 cos I joined in part 7.
By the time I got to the last page, I was so loaded with info. Then I knew why my questions were not answered; though they were not silly.
The zeal made me read part 1-6.

But fast forward to over a year, I notice some people are so lazy to read previous pages, who you eppp Yourself.
Take the pain and go through the thread, make use of the search button.
Follow people that are loaded with info, that's how to learn. Not coming here and asking 'funny' questions.

I don talk my own

lonelyhrt:
I have a degree already and the certificate course is a bit cheaper would have gone for a masters degree but the grade isn't too good for the schools around the axis I intend applying for cos of competition.


I just wanted to know whether professional certificate courses with F1 visa can be granted visa easily just as undergraduate/masters programme are also given?

lonelyhrt:
Bro pls answer

With a Professional certificate course of F1- visa can someone get visa from the embassy compared to the likes of undergraduate or masters degree.

Please someone should elaborate on F1-visa for professional certification courses.

debris:
which visa can i use to work in the states legally as a graduate here in nigeria?

LagosNIV:
Not really.

It's not particularly difficult to remember an interview within the last couple of days. You see maybe 15-20 students, so that narrows it down significantly, and then you ask particular question - in this case about why he chose a different school. And if you have to spend an extended amount of time with a person because you think they might actually be a qualified student but they keep giving you answers that don't quite make sense for whatever reason... you remember those more.

In a week though it will all be a blur.

LagosNIV:
It's not that you were favored, it's that you were able to talk about all of the programs that you applied to and didn't continuously sound like you were speaking off a rehearsed script. I remember this interview because it was my interview.

I would also point out that this is a much abbreviated transcript of what actually occurred...

masquellett:
Thanx bro. School fees is about 21000dolls, would need to pay half of that, it's just the living expenses am worried about. I don't hv up to a million naira in cash as @ now. I pray I get oncampus jobs to go with.

Angelapinkytoes:
All those who sent me mails,I replied your mails;I've been pretty busy,I have a life so had no time for Nairaland. And those who quoted me talking sh*t,I don't have any reply for y'all cause you don't know me or my life. I don't live in the negative life,I love the peace of the thread and would not like to derail it.

DareFadi:
When you mean private university in the US .......... That question ? or maybe you didnt state it clearly

Most of the top Universities in the US are Private Universities
MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Yale , Princeton, Howard, Columbia , CalTech University, U Penn , Emory to mention a few

They are recognized world wide and Lets pick one on the list Harvard - will VO approve visa for admitted students into the Graduate Program of such private university. ..... Ofcourse YES

Or do you mean those private NON accredited one-room school , if yes then O.Y.O ooo

Bussy123:
Is there anyone going to UT at Dallas or UT at Arlington in the house?

Superbrain:
NIGERIA is one country and anyone who does anything that is not in the best interest of the country is an enemy of state!

Since the so called shameless Avengers think they can hold the country to ransom because of a failed cause, then they will bear the consequences of their actions just like boko haram. There is no cause as I do not see why they chose to be peaceful when GEJ was in power but want to disrupt the peace in the country, even at a time when revenues are declining.

This is not about Buhari! I condemn the actions of the so called militants and the only rational thing for a government to do is respond. Since no dialogue was initiated, then the avengers should accept whatever comes next. Dear soldiers, please flush them out of the creeks! No one should sabotage the government at the expense of my community. The environmental impact of their actions is detrimental enough.

And for those in support of their pipeline bombings, as someone rightly said, who suffers at the end of the day? The same communities which are silent when these nefarious activities happen but cry foul once soldiers intervene. So let the bombings continue- then you would understand the real definition of "state-of-emergency" and realise that no one can hold this government to ransom for selfish reasons.

I am proudly Igbo and I stand for ONE NIGERIA.

GboyegaD:
A big amen to your prayers and may God send us help when we need it. Thank God I was able to help when it mattered to you. That is my number.

ayobamimoses07:
is it true nigerian students who re studying here in the US are returning back home to nigeria to complete their education since they are unable to make payments here due to these dollar naira exchange issue? i read in the news that naija students here in the US are retunring back to private universities in nigeria to complete their studies....how far true is this

chukyman:
thought he was an half caste

safex101:
Please House, any idea on New York University's School of Professional Studies? as I have just been accepted for a M.S program.

calfavour:
so sorry about this visa delay.
F 1 visa Interview as I have learnt is really based on your presentation and not on the documents you have with you.
Just to point a few things from your responses above.
firstly (bold). I think she was expecting to hear of the role you will be playing in 'the company' (what different the MBA will add to your role on coming back). in as much as we need to keep our responses short...we also need to answer correctly (give them what they want to hear, convince them). 'What will you be doing..?' taking a study leave and coming back answers nothing to the VO's question. you suppose shine here....

The second (bold), I'm sure those courses you mentioned has code.... like GEOL 522: history and philosophy of Geology, GEOL 511: advance structural Geology and so on. mention the courses like you are eager to start taking the MBA courses

In all, it might not even be the things I have pointed out...we need to look at your confident level...I hope you were looking into the VO's eyes? I hope you prayed seriously for this? I hope the is really the right course for you at this time.

Let the gurus in the house talk...I'm only a baby here.

calfavour:
Richmond, you are right in your little explanation. You just work for the company and at the end of the month you present you invoice (net of tax) and collect your money in cash or check.

What exactly(else) do you want to know about "independent contractor "? You can also refer to it as independent consultant
