Christian129:

Christian129:
POLITICAL SCIENCE. its not compulsory that it is public admin o. but MBA requires you to have relevant work experience and i just finished NYSC 2 months ago yet to write GRE and TOEFL. GPA is 3.5/5

DareFadi:
No i definitely don't agree with that... in the US the dress code for MBA Is very corporate

In may my family who went wore a very sharp suit was given and only asked why the sxhool

We landed around 3:15 PM, so did several other flights entering the US through Chicago O'Hare; the Airport was packed full.

As usual, I joined the non-immigrant queue about 20 minutes after landing. Like play like play, I spent 2 hours + on the queue before it got to my turn. During the wait, the sniffer dogs came to my box - in my mind I was like "ma lo koba mi o", but they didn't pick any scent.

So I walked up to this white man who just came back from his lunch break at the POE. I passed him my passport and my I20. He scanned my passport then asked where I was going, where I will be staying which I told him. I don't know if Oyinbos are allergic to Nigerian scent cause he just kept sneezing when he touched my passport, so did the two other ladies I gave my passport to in school.

After the questions, he stamped my passport and handed it back to me. Then off I went to find my luggages.

PS: if you need to find a bus/train station or something, mind who you ask. Na so I ask like five different people for Illinois Bus Terminal and they all told me the same WRONG thing which made me miss the bus I had booked from Naija.

Dear LagosNIV,

With sincerity and humility, I will like you to help on this issue again. More clerification we need sir.

Hello VO, I went for F1 interview last month and I was told by the consular officer that my visa is approved and I should pick it up in 3 days time. To my greatest surprised I found form 214b within my passport, saying denied. Any ideal what could have caused it. Thank you

Thanks

DareFadi:
Saying you choose a school because their acceptance rate is high..


That doesnt sound like a good reason to have said. In most cases the lower the acceptance rate d better the school is . Not the other way round .

Let him go apply to a better school... MBA IS very competitive in the job market in the us so F1 is just one step. U always have to think about plan or life after F1.... if u go to a rubbish school for MBA u sure will not get a job offer letter . MBA is all about the school you attended and its network .let him try Howard University. He must not be in Texas. Blc even an answer like he always wanted to school in texas . Not good response either

CProf:
Thanks everybody for the advice.
I have already made up my mind.
God bless y'all

gentledoj:
How to sign I-20, please?

Abeg Gurus, when is the right time to start planning for Summer Internship for next year

exxy:
I have an internship in that area, and it's pretty expensive getting where to stay. i need help.

fizzile:
yeah I had a low gpa, and I went as far as doing a pgd and had a gud gpa,whc was actually 3.87. The issue I also faced was I applied for msc in environmental science and since I did a pgd in geography and environmental science,they assessed the course module and realized it was more of geography. That's where most Universities in Nigeria get somethings wrong with respect to their modules. So its not like they wouldn't hv taken me. Just that a few factors contributed. I applied to schools dat accept 2.5 but same issues came up. The psychological effect was just unbearable my brother. Talking about BS-PhD,I still disagree with you. Have actually a couple of schools that accept Msc-PhD,even a UK Msc. If it gets to that level, I wouldn't mind tendering both my BSc,PGD and MSc. But for the Msc in d US,its crystal clear what the outcomes are. A couple of guys here have also agreed with the circumstances and advised on alternatives.
Oya Bless me!! U know say u b baba. Bless me just like bigfrancis and Mekurexx did. Waiting.

malory84:
Thank you so much. Please I tried to send you a pm. Pls try and reply my email. I need to get some information about UTA.

malory84:
Goodmorning house. Pls who attends UTA? I need to know how much a 2bedroom off campus housing cost.

cococandy:
Usually it's Nigerians in Nigeria that know more about what's going on in overseas countries than those who actually live there.

malory84:
Pls guys, how long does it take to get form I-20 from the school after you send financial documents. Pls is anyone going to UT Arlignton or already studying there? I need to ask a question.

nairaspace:

mevisbleek:
Sir, are you in Denver?

mevisbleek:
@Ms. Pinkytoes, Thanks for the clarification.
Is there any nairalander in Denver. E be like say the town na 99.9987654% Oyinbo. Na wah.

Why are apartments more expensive in yankee? Thought yankee was cheaper than Canada. $950/month for one bedroom. Not so shabby if it was all inclusive.

DeeTus:
She does not have any problem at all. Her status might even automatically be updated to F1 later without returning home. This is one of its kind.

Angelapinkytoes:
Okay I just received a mail from the Lagos Consulate concerning my two US B1 and F1 visas. This was the response: Thank you for your email.

Entrance to the United States is determined not by the U.S. Department of State, which issued you the visa, but by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, specifically by CBP officers at the port of entry. Moreover,your B1 visa was never cancelled and is still valid for travel,and have in mind that a B1 and F1 are two different types of visas. You should be prepared to demonstrate to the immigration officer at the port of entry why you are seeking entry into the United State. The Department of Homeland Security at the port of entry will determine your eligibility to enter the United States on any travel.

lobito007:
Congrats SirRiddy! You are heading to a school I sent my GRE scores for MS in mech eng, but didnt send an application. I got an admit to Tech Univ of Munich, Germany for Power Eng. This made me soften my pursuit of US unis, especially after 3 rejects from Univ of Rhode Island, Michigan Tech and Steven's Inst of Tech. My heart still lies with US, but I'm finding it difficult to forfeit the recognition TUM has globally. It's currently ranked 53rd in the world, 5th best technical univ in Europe and the best technical univ in Germany.

youngmoney416:
One cannot possess two classes of visa. You can't have B1/B2 and still have F1 visa. You can confirm from the consulate if you are in doubt

Angelapinkytoes:
Wow,so much pages I could barely read through. All those who sent me PM,am so sorry I've been busy trying to arrange everything both home and my job before I leave finally for the states,I replied your messages. Congrats to all who got their passports stamped with a new visa on it. Y'all should leave dickoflife alone,there's no written rules that one should post his or transcript after a successful interview. I did cause I had benefited from on here. It's unfortunate no one is heading to Washington state,would had loved a flight partner I despise flying alone. All the best guys.

Mekurexx:
Good!. One way's are actually cheaper. Just hope by then the long waiting queues at US airports would have eased abit
