Hi, has anyone recently gone for interview?
How was it? What questions were asked?
Is it the same question they give master students they’d give to someone going for Bachelor’s degree?

Does anyone know if the woman in window 11 interview people?

Hi, does anyone know any college that’s still admitting masters student for either summer or fall

Hello guys. I have this issue and would appreciate useful information towards resolving it.

So I have an appointment date I plan to reschedule on the CGI portal. Recently I've been trying to log in but keep getting this error: "Your login attempt has failed. Make sure the username and password are correct."

Plenty google searches revealed that CGI often logs you out if you log in too frequently over certain periods looking for dates and this is likely what happened to me. Now I'm trying to email them in an attempt to get it reopened but I'm stuck with the best way to construct my email and what information to provide in it.

Has anyone previously had this issue and had it resolved, please? I'll appreciate any information on how to go about it.

Thanks.

Hi, I had similar issue but I felt like my account was inactive due to the fact that I didn’t login into the portal for a month.
So I just wrote my email and did the forget password thingy. They sent a temporary password to my email and I was able to change the password and log back into my account.
So u can try that I guess

Hi I wanted to ask -for the visa application, is it only 120days before the school start date you can start applying?

temiloluwasam:
You should message your school for resumption extension or they should update your i-20

I spoke to them already, do I need a letter to take to the embassy?

Please has anyone ever gone for interview a day or two days after their i-20 expires?

Does anyone knows if it is possible to resume one week or two weeks after the resumption date?

Seemie:
I think you just need to tell him if you changed anything like your school,course or degree cos I was also asked during my interview and I said yes that I changed my degree from Asn to BSN
And He said okay
But if Nothing has changed in your application just say nothing has changed,that you you’re still going for the same course and same school. My Advise tho

I’m not an expert but I seeked opinion from someone who is an expert in this field(I would say). She said it’s better to change something (maybe the school if the fees is too much) if not there is a 99% chances of denial esp if it’s your third time applying.

xxxscholar:
They are asking of what has changed in terms of your profile. It could be a change of school or course, or source of funding, marital status etc.

Thank you!

What does it mean when the vo asks “what has changed since your last application?
Are they asking of your school or what?
Can someone please enlighten me on this

If the VO asks what has changed since your last application what do they mean?
Do you have to change school ?or your major? Or you need to get scholarship?

Please did anyone go to the embassy today?
Please can you share your transcript?

Please can the people who went for the visa interview this week post their transcript… please

I have a question.
To the people who have gone to Abuja embassy in the last two weeks, is it only a male visa officer that attends to you guys or both male and female?

Lustre23:
Those of us going for undergraduate studies are quite few here.
But you can read through the thread there are a few transcripts.
And about the WhatsApp group,I doubt if there's any for undergrad.

Ok thank you so much
