What you said is correct!

When you avoid GRE like a plague (when you are supposed to take it), you are simply taking a stu.pid risk.

Hi guys my Visa was denied today.... I wouldn’t still blasphem cos errytin happens for a reason luckily I know the reason why it was denied.All questions asked was answered with tailored answer. She type for a long time then asked me for my statement of account. As the Devil wud have it my dad had withdrawn a substantial amount from the account for his business. So the balance was exactly my school fees. Before then she had dropped my passport in a box below.The moment she asked for my SOA I knew I was in trouble. She kept doing the conversion and comparing with the amount on my 1-20. She did this for about 8minutes. Shook her head picked up my passport and returned it with the Regular yellow paper with the normal Line that follows it.

Atleast i could count 6 before me. pls kindly do GRE even if u did not do well.my friend had 278 and his bisa was approved though we both have GA that waived tuition with stipends. No bank statement required. Wish everybody success. Thank you nairaland. i used nairaland for my Visa to the UK and now the US. am grateful to everybody. cheers.

Hello everyone,
Please for the bank statements, do you think it is better to get like a 6 month account statement or just a statement stating the total amount in the account.

Thank you so much.

The day is drawing nearer. Commencement is approaching. It all still feels like yesterday when we were all preparing for the GRE, applying to schools, seeking funding, asking for mock interviews, reading through past interview transcripts and looking forward to a "better" life in the United States of America. I look back at this experience and all I can say is I'm grateful to God for the journey so far. It's not been all rosy living as an international student in this foreign land but every moment has been worth it. My experience here has been one of joy and regret. Joy because I keep relishing on the fact that I'm fortunate to be out of Nigeria. Regret because I wish I knew some information before migrating. In everything, I give thanks to God.

I'll just chip in some advice for tech folks(and anyone it applies to) coming or planning to come over,so you don't make same mistakes I made.
1. Whatever you learn in class is needful but challenge yourself to hone your software development skills because what really counts are your skills, not your 4.0 CGPA.
2. For the smart geeks, practice Leetcode and HackerRank questions starting from your first semester and get familiar with their problems and solutions if you really want to scale through the tough tech interviews and land a good job that will sponsor your work visa.
3. For the not-so-smart folks, if you're not ready to receive multiple rejections(or redirections as some friends call it) for jobs you applied for, just look for a good woman(USC of course) and marry as soon as you can. I'm not a proponent of marrying for "IWE" but just know that the system is against you as an international student.
4. Lastly, all those folks claiming "I fasted and prayed before I got my visa blablabla", I hope you will/are still stay/staying close to God when you get/got here. This country is full of distractions. It takes a man who knows God to remain strong and still follow God in the face of adversity, temptations and disappointments.

Wishing all prospective students who are not seeking the student visa as an escape route and who are preparing to go for visa interviews soon the best with it. I rest my case at this point. Lemme comman be going. Au re·voir.

Which one sir's

Johnolukolade:
80,000.00NGN... Do you need help with the payment? �

Shehuroj:
Thanks for your prompt response. It's actually MSc admission, but on their Certification of fund form, it's stated that one can come with dependents, that's why I explore the opportunity. I have provided financial statement (I also have partial scholarship & applied for Research assistants of which the program coordinator recommended me for the post, although not yet approved) that covers the 3 members of the family for a year. I have applied for I-20 form which i was messaged that have been mailed to my address to arrive on Tuesday.
I understand your position on this and sincerely appreciate your advice.
Now that I have commenced the process for the family, is it possible for me to halt their own process and continue with mine? How easy it is to invite them after I have gone there? I heard my financial statement will be verified (if i am in US) there before they can issue them visa.
Even though our plan is not to leave Nigeria same day if issued the visa (s), I am a bit confused on what to do now.

My fear is the rate at which they reject visiting visa these days, it's worrisome.

Your sincere advice please.

James89:
If I want to book an interview by the end of this month,can I still get an early or late date for June.an applicant for fall 2019 here

Time2win:
This visa thing is subjective lol. The V.Os at U.S reasons differently atimes unlike the way we see it. I know three peeps that went with their family last year, they were all approved lol. Though I advise people to go alone and bring their family later. But if you feel you can convince them with your family, go with them. They may approve you and deny them.

Shehuroj:
Hello Nairalanders, I am very excited to join this thread. I just got admitted by Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey-Camden, US for the 2019 fall session. I have started the process of getting my I-20 and schedule interview for visa.
My questions go thus, I intend to go with my family (wife & a daughter), is it advisable to go with my family or go alone while they join later?
What are the possible questions and answers they might ask my wife?

Thanks
