The mail has come oo.
Please, has anyone received this kind of mail, how did he or she go about it.

Is this a negative sign?

Are we expected to submit all that was listed or some?

The first sentence says these evidences are expected within 90days of my admission into the US, but on my status on the case tracker they said nothing will be done about my case until we reply the mail they sent. Mind you we are yet to get approval o.

I'm just so confused right now

That is a misinterpretation of the first paragraph. It requests that you submit the relevant evidence that you and your fiance(e) plans to get married.... married within 90 days of their entry into the US, not that the evidences are expected within 90 days of entry into the US.
Also, they expect you to send the evidences you have from the list of possible evidences and not all.

Totally fine to take drugs with cold water. Even better depending on the structure of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Some API-containing ester functional groups will hydrolysis (breaking down of the esters) in warm/hot water thereby reducing the dosage even before the drug gets the chance to be acted on by stomach fluids. Some drugs are also pro-drugs that are meant to form the active API inside the stomach, taking those with hot water may break down the pro-drug thereby forming the active API before getting to the stomach.

Exactly my doubt.
How can an Alkane react with an Alkane and carbon dioxide ?
Alkanes undergo substitutional reactions only, where would oxygen fix itself when there is no double bonds ??
Also, I noticed that the numerators in the fractions are sequencial which implies that the poster fabricated this reaction.

I perceive youthful exuberance.
It doesn't make sense... Without even stating the condition of the reactions.

SMH for nairalanders who crammed chemistry in school. First of all, alkanes undergo combustion reaction, where the hydrocarbon is oxidized using oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water in form of steam. This is totally different from the typical substitution reaction by alkanes. The numerator does not matter. The question remains chemically incorrect as CO2 does not react with hydrocarbons but I see many unsound argument about the equation. Mixture of propane and butane can be combusted as well in excess oxygen.

These are very lame questions. Hydrocarbons (CxHy) are chemically inert to carbon dioxide - CO2 hence CO2 present in the air does not react with candles or gasoline or cooking gas. The questions are chemically wrong.

[quote author=Ifeanyichukwu42 post=109832179][/quote]If you show the necessary paperwork, for a visa on arrival, including the payment of the necessary fees, you would be allowed to board.

Ifeanyichukwu42:
Oga LakesideNG you are trying to find your way to United states way dont you take your passport and board a plane and tell your immigration lawyer to file for visa for you on arrival to the United states . We know our country is corrupt but what is worth doing is worth doing well.

Nigerian Immigration Service can process visas on arrival for American citizens visiting Nigeria, not the other way. LakesideNG is correct.

Hi guys, I just got an RFE after waiting for 15 months and they are pretty much asking for same documents I already provided. What other evidences can one provide for plans to get married (I already submitted letters saying we plan to get married as soon as she join me in the states) proof of continuous communication and how do I get WhatsApp messages and call logs, since we face time every day. See below the RFE. Yours responses are highly appreciated. Thanks

15 months? This is definitely outside the normal processing window which is at currently 7 - 9.5 months. Did you receive RFEs previously concerning this case? I think what is needed from you is explicitly stated in the attached letter. Provide evidence of communication when the relationship started, provide evidence that either of you transferred money to each other, bank statement should suffice and provide an affidavit sworn by at least 2 people who can testify that they know when/how your relationship commenced, maybe people from where either of you reside (this one is a low hanging fruit). You can print the statement of your phone bill showing call log/data used for facetime as well. Good luck!

Everyone to their unique experiences. You can never take Nigeria out of someone so even though you have a foreign passport, you are easily identified as a Nigerian by your name, the way you speak, and how you comport yourself. I am also a frequent traveler like the OP, always proud of my green passport and I have never been treated negatively. I often hide my blue passport (US) unless I have to hold it for a check or something. Proud Naija always.

Please who needs Naira for dollars ?

I need naira

That's great. Is it very cold in Wisconsin? How is the weather? I am eyeing one school around there UW-La Crosse for biological sciences program

Currently, the weather is really nice, as are most summers (60-90F). The winters are generally cold in the Mid-West with temperatures reaching -30F sometimes.

AdoChel:
Hi everyone,

Please is there anyone here who is currently at UW-Madison or hoping to resume there this fall?

I currently attend UW-Madison.

Danny4show:
Hello Sir, please I have just sent you a mail. I would be glad to hear from you. Thanks

I replied your email. Glad to answer your questions.

Hello,

I tried to reply to your email but I got a message failure notification.

It sort of depends on where you are looking at advancing your career. My perspective is based on my experience as a chemist in the US.

I think analytical chemistry is highly relevant here and It is going to continue to be relevant in the next 20-30 years. This is because of the very broad scope where analytical chemistry skills are applicable for example, in the petroleum industry, materials, clinical, biotechnology, drug development, general analytical testing, food industry, etc.

Though synthetic/med chemists make more money, the field is highly competitive as there are only a few openings for process/med chemistry in the pharmaceutical companies compared to analytical chemistry job opportunities. In order words, the scope of a med/synthetic chemist is very limited but compared to that of an analytical chemist.

I have no information about forensic chemistry but I would think It is a sub-discipline of analytical chemistry as part of their work involves DNA amplification and testing.

Answers please

CUNY is totally legit for visa purposes.

godG:
Greetings, my oga. Yessir.

Great! Will send you a PM. Thanks!

godG:
Yes. When I was applying for my PhD, I wrote my GRE in the US.

godG, greetings! You attend UW Madison right?

Hi guys,

For those applying to 'mushroom' schools, read and be guided. About 600 international students, mostly Indians were affected in this sting operation by ICE.

Fortissimo:
Chemical2 would you be willing to offer me some advice? Stumbled on your posts and there's an uncanny resemblance in my desired path to yours.

Hi, feel free to ask me any question.

Who be Flavour?

Busconductor:
Good day guy please i have a question. i received my school fees bill today. please will it be possible for my dad to transfer the money directly from nigeria. please urgent reply needed.

Yes that is possible. Your dad should go to his bank to do the transaction. It is advisable to remit directly to the school. So he would need your school account details. The CBN approved rate would be applied and his naira account debited and your school's account credited the dollar equivalent.

sirRiddy:
Thanks zee and Francis.
Please do you know how to go about the CPT?
I heard it is quite competitive to secure summer internships
as it is mostly students in highly ranked programs that recruiters want.
Also, what steps do you advise one to take in order to secure such positions?
Lastly, how valuable is this towards getting a company to file for you after schooling?
PS:Any online resources that you know of would be highly appreciated.

Yes, CPT is very competitive. It is not a department thing as someone said. You have an edge if you are in a STEM graduate program and as far as i know if you get an internship with a company and meet all the requirement your school is mandated to process your CPT even if it not not necessary for your course. I am currently on CPT against the wish of my advisor who wants to keep me in the lab 24/7. The company i work for (Biopharm) sponsors H1B then GC. Internships is one of the surest way to obtain your GC as the company greatly saves by employing their interns after graduation.

Do not be discouraged. I applied to more than 15 companies. I did phone screen with about 5 of them. The problem is when you would be asked if you are authorized to work in the US. I'd advice you say "Yes" at this point. Saying no is automatic disqualification for most companies, afterall CPT is a temporary authorization.

It's nice to see guys coming to Madison, WI. godG welcome to the land of cheese and beer. It is the best time of the year here in Madison.

Busconductor:
Good day guys, please I have a question for those who are already in the U.S. Please is there any of you guys that was asked for a bank statement at POE?

Thanks for your responses.

I do not see the reason you should be asked for a bank statement at your POE. I was not asked a single question. My passport was only collected and stamped and i left. That was at Detroit, MI. I guess it also depends on the particular POE.

adewoleray:
Pls, I want to ask. I learnt on this forum that after Masters programme, one will do OPT which will keep one in the US for at least another 2 years, but after the OPT, what happens ? Will they expect someone to return back to Nigeria ? Or can someone still remain legally in the Usa ?
Secondly, what's the possibility that someone can get a greencard after the masters in the US
Thanks

Yes, If your course is designated as STEM you can have OPT (including extension) for 29 months, after which you will need sponsorship by your company. That work authorization is called H1B. Not all company is willing to sponsor H1B and you cannot sponsor yourself. Initial H1B is valid for 3 years and can be renewed for another 3 years. Hope that helps

As regards greencard after your masters you can sponsor yourself through the National Interest Waiver programme. You must have published a good number of papers in respected journals and must show that you are pioneering a novel research that has not been done before or you get a company to sponsor your greencard. You can also get a greencard by getting married to a citizen.

@ benjaminiyke,

I would first of all evaluate my GPA to a 4.00 scale. The chances of getting admission into a Chemistry, MS program in the US becomes almost zero if it is lower than 2.50/4.00. Also do not be deceived you need to consider the tier 2 schools most notably the California state university system. Like others rightly said a number of factors is considered, but you also need to show that you can do research since your degree would be researched based. Talk about your final year project and other lab experience you have. That is a huge pointer to being successful in graduate school. Do not waste your money by applying to Tier 1 universities like LSU, ASU, OSU et al

Ok, but the figures still indicate a heavy reliance on oil related revenues. Diversification remains the way to go.

lol. Impossicant

Ibadan.........The first and still the best

Ok

In your dreams though

thats a good development

The president and his wife chased him away from the PDP, i would do the same if i were Amaechi. Fight!
