Send marriage certificate to the school or the embassy. Im just asking if my mum can join me ,so things will be easier. It wont be easy taking care of kids , schooling for a starter like me. Im trying to weigh my options. Is mother a dependent thats what i want to know, has anyone tried it before.

You will need to send it to the school. You will take it along to the embassy too, though there is a high chance it would not be asked. I know someone who have tried it before and the mother and baby were denied. But there is no harm trying, you might be lucky.

I'm not sure you can use your mum as a dependant. In fact you will need to send your marriage certificate to confirm your spouse is indeed your partner. I will suggest you take your kids and apply for visiting visa for her later.

And 8 and 7 are not too young too. They will go to school too.

Ladybii:
Hi good evening , please if one has 2 kids ages 8 and 7 , and in the case where my husband can't go with me because of work and can only be visiting once once , can I apply f2 for my mum and kids, so my mum can be watching my kids while am schooling. Pls help with suggestions. And also is there anyone doing msc in accounting with a school that offers scholarship,can the person share information pls

I think Alausa Passport is very fast in issuing passports. My child captured last week Monday and as at yesterday it's been produced/issued. 32/5 fresh passport.

DIY?

ultrazone:
@house, is WES evaluation a compulsory requirement for most US schools? Are there schools that do not ask for WES?

Most? I do not know. But I know that not all schools require WES. You just have to check their website for individual school requirement(s).

I think that answers the second question.

Sorry about your loss!

Y'all Listen Up, I was the guy who was having issues with my PayPal account in making my GRE payments for additional score report, @keagan quoted my post with his number, telling me to reach out so that he can help me with his American PayPal account(I noticed he has since deleted that post from this thread) and see if it works, since I sent the money and the payment didn't work, the @Keagan guy had since stopped picking his calls or replying his text messages, 09077864983, I have contacted my Bank and his bank and they confirmed to me that the money was not sent, on running his number via my True caller I realized that he's been a serial Scammer which made someone to save his number with it, personally 13k is too small compared to the 100's of thousands I have spent in this admission journey but then I'm just putting this out here so that non of you all will fall victim of these dubious individuals, it's my bad that I didn't do my due diligence before transacting with him but when the opportunity comes I'll teach a lesson he'll never forget just because of 13k, that's the only promise I'm making him, be safe you all. I have attached the picture and link to his profile below https://www.nairaland.com/keagen

I got my baby's own after 3 working days. Did it Last month

I've got the NIN number too. But they said it needs validation. Have you validated your baby's, how did you do it?

Bankxx:
Hello

Please assist me

Be careful the kind of information you divulge to strangers, don't open yourself to scammers. You can just ask what u need directly.

Edit your post, a word is enough for the wise!!!

Xcottsnow1:
I was denied an f1 student visa on the 6th of January.. and I’m trying to reapply for fall..but When I choose in the visa priority.. that I have been reject in the last 2 months.. it says no appointment date available
And if I choose the one for regular..I do see appointment dates
I don’t know What to do..any ideas �

Choose no and choose a date that is 2 months time

Ren80:
Good morning everyone.

Please this is my first time attending the visa interview and I would be needing your assistance with the checklist of items I need to attend the visa interview. I just got a visa appointment date yesterday for Monday 31st of January, 2022 at Abuja and I would be traveling from Lagos.

Additionally, I secured a loan with MPower financing and I wanted to know if it’s safe to mention it when asked source of funding.

Please I need your advice house.

It's ok to mention mpower financing, they are well known. Just be prepared to answer various questions about them.

sudo1986:


What if the funding only covers me? I don't know how much I will be required to have in the account to cover my wife and kid.

You look for other source eg loan

sudo1986:
Good day everyone..
I am presently studying a masters degree in China and I am hoping to go for my PhD in the US.
Though I have applied but have not gotten any admissions.

I want to seek your opinion about some things. I have a wife and a son in Nigeria, which I hope to travel back to Nigeria and apply for visa with them.

But, I don't know if that make any sense or is it possible to process the US visa from China?

I am still in a dilemma situation because I don't know if it make any sense to go from here or I should go and process from Nigeria.

Does it also make any sense to go with my family or I should go alone?

If I get funding that covers tuition and living expenses, do I need to present any other statement if account at the embassy for visa processing?

Please someone should orientate me.

My opinion!

It is better to come back home and apply with your family.

If you have full funding, no need for bank statement.

shekhaz:
Hello everyone, please I need the direct link to the page for information on Masters studies in the US especially with options of scholarship. Thanks in advance

You will need to read through the thread.

Hello all,

Anybody having interview tomorrow in Abuja? Please reach out @ Addisa.baba@yahoo.com

Hi, how was your interview? I'm interested cos I'm thinking of taking mpower loan too. Take care.

cuttingedge:



Please folks any help with this?

I would suggest you guys apply separately and your wife adds your daughter as a dependant.

But this would mean you should be honest when asked about your partner during the interview.

My opinion sha o!

Congratulations! You go like suspense sha! I'm happy for you.

First attempt
Zero funding

Vo good morning

Me good morning ma (while I passed my documents)

Vo you are going to the university of Maine for masters degree in animal science

Me yes, with concentration in animal nutrition.


Vo what do you do?

Me I'm a research assistant at xoxo company where I research into improvement of livestock fed hay and forages.


Vo what will you be working on at the University of Maine?

Me (I stuttered and at this point I thought I had blown it.) I will be evaluating the effect of experimental formulation of experimental diet on livestock
(this was total rubbish from what I had in mind I had to just join something to make sound legit)


VO tell me about your thesis

Me (I already gathered some momentum here) I will be working on use of fungal enzymes to develop nutritive additives to improve profitability in livestock production.


VO Who is funding your education?

Me my brother mr kazeem , who is into oil and gas business. He also has real estate business and he currently oversee the family business.


Vo what is the family business
Me we are into agro allied business

Vo (while typing voraciously for about 10 seconds rose her head and asked "you work with the federal government?

Me yes ma.(thinking I already blew it.)


Vo I will be holding on to your international passport . (Then she said those words people claim to not hear )

I remember picking the word passport and i-20. The moment I noticed she took my passport and didn't use her left hand to pick the blue paper, my mind was screaming "it's a lie"


The atmosphere was really bad today Chelsea FC just full Abuja embassy today. I would say 1 out of every 20 that went in was given white paper. I had to pinch myself if I wasn't dreaming.

This visa thing is not even by how fluent you might think you are. I was shaky throughout. At a point I told myself "Ayo, tiẹ ta". At that point I forgot what my thesis is about...I saw guys that were very fluent and even confident... na Blue paper dem collect.

PS- I don't work with the federal government. FG being helpful to my life for the very first time. It was nice doing business with Nigeria for almost 3 decades...

Who go dash me correct jacket wey fit hold -20⁰C. Maine is not for the weak.

haywhy17:
Abuja was bloody this morning... A very tense atmosphere. I'm gonna drop my transcript soon. But those questions might not be in order. After my interview, I started wondering how people remember how the whole conversation with VO went.

I have been waiting! please share soon! A couple of people said their interview was today. Pls make una share o! Abeg!

Gokoyer1401:
Thanks for your reply. We are planning to apply together (F1 and F2).

you are welcome bro.
If you are applying together(f1 and F2), then you can use 1 or 2 accounts depending on the total cost versus the amount in the account.

Gokoyer1401:
My sister, hope your re fine.
Just a quick question, is it allowed to submit 2 statement of accounts(husband and wife) to school and even to the embassy during the visa process?

Do you mean two different statement of account? Are you applying separately? If so yes, two different SOA will be needed but if together as in the case of F1/F2, then the same account will do.

MackayNaija, how are you doing? How family? It's been a while!
