I'm out of patient for him. There are many prime cheaper midfielders that are in form and still having good fixtures.

Selling him will afford me extra cash I need to upgrade my third striker to Firmino especially this gameweek that Kane is not playing.

Liverpool seems to be scoring goals for fun these days.

7. NEVER MENTION YOU HAVE ANY RELATIVE ABROAD YOU ARE GONNA STAY WITH WHILST SCHOOLING. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!
8. ALL SCHOOLS GAVE YOU ADMISSION even if you just have admission for one
9. know your GRE scores and ILETS result by heart, and print it out
10. BE POLITE AND SMILE


if you dont have work experience this might be very tough for you but not solely a determinant of your approval.

bobmar:
What I actually mean is that I already have the first year fee. Not talking about the scholarship and all.

bobmar:
Well, the money for the first year is down already.

Vessi:
Hi all,
I'm a pharmacy student here and my school awards B Pharm upon graduation, I'm sick tired of this country and would want to practise in the US cause i want to hit big quick. I intend to obtain a Msc Scholarship in any of my 5 Honours but a discouraging news it that only the Pharm D certificate authorizes one to practise in the US. Meaning my Bpharm + Msc in US would be pointless.

That really true?

Nihilist:
4 pks in 3 games is completely unsustainable. Rooney is playing in central midfield and yesterday needed two pks to score one goal, and his assist came via a speculative shot from like 30 yards.

I dont think thats value, i think Rooney's irish roots have manifested by turning him into a leprechaun on the pitch recently, but that luck is going to run out soon....

Criis:
Please, how can I delete my FPL account?

Hello All,

I want my former Boss to recommend me for my application, but he is saying he cannot use his companies letter head for me.

If i wouldnt mind for him to do the recommendation without the letter head, we are go to go.

I want to ask if it would be an issue for me during my application.

Thanks

Hello everybody. Please if someone is inadmissible to Canada due to misrepresentation would it affect getting an F1 visa?

firmphem:
No there is steady flow. My fear is that he doubted its auhenticity by his reaction. And if that was wat he thought, it would not be nic coz that would not been fair. He should av subject it to further verifications.
Can I be banned jst because he doubted? I

Oh sorry for the typo. You know it’s something I know nothing about. A company in the US I meant

Olamsanj:
Good day house! This question is for a friend who was denied an F1 visa thrice last year when he wanted to go for his Masters. Now his brother in the US which is a green card holder is filing an H1b visa for him which would be done with the processing in few weeks time. Please what are his chances of getting an H1b visa approved or there’s no problem?

mrmichael1:
Hello evryone,
Please i will like to know more about Associate Degrees and it chances of securing visa through it, thanks in anticipation.

ekiee:
Please help with this questions, I applied to. Only Florida international university and got admitted, my interview is on Tuesday, is it wise to be truthful, or should I add some colleges and dead schools just to complete the statement

Time2Smile:
I really empathize with what you are going through because I am in a similar situation, although my wife is not applying anytime soon and I was not asked about my family during my interview. You have probably painted a mental image of how you will meet them at the airport.

I agree with Lagosismyhome that you should give it some time before they reapply. You should wait until maybe Fall, 2018. When they do finally reapply, your wife should make a passionate case of how it has been extremely difficult living apart. That you are making good progress in your PhD but the separation of the family is taking a mental toll on you. Also, you don't want your daughter to grow up in the absence of his father and how you are missing out on watching your daughter grow too. How she is always asking about Daddy (which am sure she does if she is old enough).

So you have to be patient for a little while because I don't think B1 visa is a good option. All the best.

LGDON:
Good day everyone

There is something am concern about

I applied for student visa in US embassy 2011 and was denied due to falsification of bank statement.. I was naive and ignorant then, my travel agent was responsible for everything.. of cause i was banned


I am presently living in Sweden as a student and i want to visit my brother in Canada from here..

My concern is, since i had issues with US embassy.. will it give me problem in Canadian embassy here in Stockholm when applying for their visiting visa?

TWoods:
This is why selecting top schools is vital. Applying for an H1B has become expensive so a lot of low to mid-tier companies will pass on you since they can find an equally qualified American and avoid the legal hassle to employ you. Big companies have dedicated lawyers whose job is to basically treat you like a baby until they get you a GC. You do absolutely nothing and pay zero. It's a nice life if you work hard and know how to navigate the system.

It's nice to see that someone else is thinking about life after an F1 visa. Too often folks here focus so much on getting the F1 that they forget that the F1 visa doesn't last forever.

omoluabiguy:
First bolded: when you say advanced degree, do you mean masters and PhD or just PhD? Whatever the answer to that is, do you mean you have more chances of getting approved for H1B when you have a higher degree compared to Bsc holders?

Second bolded: I totally get the Puzzle as to why Indians get it a lot now which makes the struggle for others stronger. I stick with honesty, but from your view as an experienced person who has been thru the process, Is it advisable to chose “Yes” when applying for a job and the regular questions of “would you need a sponsorship” pops up? I’ll be starting my OPT next year and I think it’s time I need to get exposed to how things are done after school

I would appreciate some explanations on these pls

SophiaLisa:
Good Morning Peeps, I need guidance.

My F1 visa expires in February 2018, while my Post-OPT expires in May 2018. What documents do I need to renew the F1 visa in Nigeria? What are the chances of getting the renewal? Your guidance will be appreciated!

oluwadamilare26:
I think best and safer response to that question has always been NO... even if your whole family is there... for F-1 Visa... No is kinda better so as to let them know you got no ties in the USA which mean that you are surely coming back home.
