Mickey2135:
I will explain further and say “ an associate degree helps me to know what I am diving into and gets me to know about the basics of engineering. Having an associate degree before a bachelor is an added advantage to me in my field of study

Red flag as in na your fault say you marry person wey get the same last name as you?
Come off it?
I still have my maiden name ( though not the same as my husband's)
9 years after marriage with 2 kids

resolution2020:
Good day everyone,

Please I have some questions bothering me. I am married but my husband and I bear the same surname before we got married which means I do not need a change of name after getting married, now my question is; I am scared if it won't be a problem when filling my DS-160 form and I hope it won't seems like a red flag when I go for my F1 Visa interview. And also, We do not plan for my husband and daughter to go with me now but I would like them to come maybe after some months of my stay in the US, I hope there won't be a problem if they apply for F2 after I am gone?

Look for your classmates that are lecturers even in other schools they can do it for you even me can run it sharp nonsense

Sisib15:
I did o. Some people are just difficult even the one i used as a professional one said it is stressful and he can't send again.

Now, i have taken your advice i have changed that one. The remaining one is this prof and the problem with him is because i don't know any other prof except him.

She definitely will apply alone, since her kids are USA citizen all they need is their passport.
She has good travel history she should go ahead and get a school.
She should keep her zero balance and all medical bills receipts ready.
I came here last year with my 2 children
Ages as at then
6 years and 1.2yrs.
We are good

olasubomy:
Good day, bright minds!

I would need your thoughts and guidance regarding my question below:

I have a family member who intends to pursue a master's degree in the USA or Canada, but she strongly prefers the United States.

Summary of her profile:

• Married with two kids ( Both kids are US citizens)
• She worked as Air Hostess with one of the major international Airline but got out of job when the pandemic hit.
• She had her first degree in actuarial science and graduated in 2011.
• She had her Master's in Finance in the UK (University of Leeds), graduated in 2013, and then joined the Airline.
• She is not currently working and presently resides in Lagos.

What's your thought on how she can navigate US Immigration interview when she applies for an F1 Visa? I need your view regarding whether to apply alone or with her two kids ( both kids are still in the infantry, nine months old and 4 yrs). What courses do you think she can go for apart from Accounting? She does not like Accounting. Finally, is there anything you think she should note, do or be aware of before presenting herself for an F1 immigration interview? She is 33 yrs today.

I don't know much about how US immigration works, so looking forward to what you think.

You would have told him you got application waiver for attending open days.

Sisib15:
I applied to plenty schools so he just did like 4 and was asking how did i get money to Apply to all those schools

As in eeeh

Dreamsss:
Ehnn? You say wetin? Is it your VC you went and asked for a recommendation letter?

This is wickedness!
I advise you write it and give to them to copy and paste on letter head or directly into the reference page.
Also do you have classmates that are lecturers ? In your school or any school? Use them instead and henceforth.

You see that lecturer let them be, you will meet them tomorrow.

Sisib15:
Sincerely, the lecturer collected huge amount of money like 45k yet he has not send the reference letter

Money for reference ooh come off it.
This is something your friends can do for you without looking back naa.

Sisib15:
What if the person has paid huge money

Many schools do not give funding at MS however you can get GA.

vicdom:
Michigan Technological University are just stingy with fundings. Tueh!!
I got two offers of admission in Chemical and environmental engineering for fall 2023, and none of them came with fundings!

When I emailed one of the directors of the programs, I got the reply below �

Change them

Lasisieniola77:
I am having the same problem as yours but mine is that my recommender has refused to send in the letters and tomorrow is deadline so i messaged the coordinator for an extension and they said i can submit within a week. So i would suggest you wait for a response and if you didn't get before the deadline you can submit your application and send a mail to the coordinator

Replace this person naa.

Tehilla23:
I need your help guys,
One of my recommenders (,the only professor)has issues with his official email address and the application deadline is this week.I messaged the post graduate college and my department to know if he can use his personal mail but I didn't receive any response.

Do you suggest he uses is personal mail? will that affect my chances since the letter is on a letter headed paper.

Also,if one submit more than the required no of recommenders, will it be an issue?
Thanks

This is the community you seek

JulianaOmowumi:
Good day Everyone
I am new here and looking to get a community of people that I can share ideas with or interact with on US visa related issues.
I wouldn't even mind a community I could join.
Thanks

Go with your birth records from the hospital and pictures of her at different ages to show the progression

If I may ask what happened to the current one you have? also who asked you to and why?

Poetchi:
Hello house,
We've been asked to authenticate my daughters USA Birth certificate. We need it like yesterday but appointment available in US embassy is only in January. Pls can anyone advise how else we can get her birth cert authenticated quickly?

there are a lot of transcripts here only if you can start reading from the beginning

EbenezerAyomide:
Good evening everyone
Please I need help on interview transcript
Bs in information science
Msu moorhead.
I'm new here..
Please I need a mentor �

oooh I get you now

nicestlady:
I mean converting the application. Not the visa. Like filling a new DS 160 form before the interview date to change from B1B2 to F1 application. Is it possible?

Converting takes up to 6 months while you are in the country remember that and it is not guaranteed.

nicestlady:
Thank you. If she's going to be taken care of, then I don't need to apply. She applied Early Action and Regular to about 20 schools. With how difficult it is to get interview date wouldn't waiting for all her decisions be risky? Some will come in April.

Can she convert a B1B2 application(for her) to F1? Just for her to start the whole date search thing on her own.

Thank you very much.
If you have his account details that will help better

Moshkom:
08098713804


This number is a scammer, he goes by the name Mayor, he will likely change name and number.
He scammed someone of their sevis fee, he scammed people for date, said he allegedly works for cgi for date search and allocation. He also claims he is a pastor and runs a WhatsApp group on visa applications where him and his wife scam desperate Nigerians.
Please look out for him and share across groups

Give her transcript so that the council can help.

Kelex062:
Good day House. My sister went for her interview few days ago and she was given a white slip cause apparently she forgot her I 90 confirmation slip. My question is aside from the I 90 slip is there any other document that she should send to the embassy through dhl? Thanks.

Nna, I did not say I was paid 15k for my internship,
what I meant was that if for example, I was paid $2 as an intern in my field then it is possible for someone who has many years of experience to be paid $50
During inter/IT you can know what is obtainable in the market.

Terry27:
Nne, biko where you do your last summer internship because $15k per month is no small money even if you are earning in dollars. And I can confidently tell you, most companies in the US won't pay a summer intern up to 15k per month.

are you using a nigerian bank card?
That might be the issue.

oluope2801:
Good afternoon All. I’m currently a student in the UK and I have plans to visit the US for conference next year but I have been trying to pay my visa fee and I have tried paying through the USA visa site but there is no link there where you can make payment . Please I don’t know if anyone in the house can help as I have tried every possible ways but still I can’t get the actual page to make the payment . Thanks

Yes, but look for the information on their website it is always there.

FaithFolake1900:
So means even till January will still be expecting offers from schools ?

Grading scale is in your transcript,lift it from there and give them.
There are a lot of examples on Google too.
eg
xyz university

A- Excellent - 5 Points D- Pass - 2 Points
B - Very Good - 4Points E-Poor Pass - 1 Point
C – Good - 3 Points F – Failure - 0 Point
E – Incomplete W - Withdrew
WP – Withdrew Passing WP – Withdrew Failing


ABC University

Score Letter Grade
≥ 90 A
≥ 80 & < 90 B
≥ 70 & < 80 C
≥ 60 & < 70 D
< 60 F

Lasisieniola77:
they even requested for grading scale and i don't know what that means

Not in all I only did it for schools that required it after talking with graduate coordinators of the schools.
But make sure there are lecturers whose research interest aligns with yours.

Capitalbase:
Ok. Thanks a lot. That really helps.
One last question please
For all the applications you made (PhD), did you have to contact a faculty member to get their initial consent?
This would help me prepare better next time please.
Thanks again

No, because the application is still open. All decisions will be given between Feb and April 2023 since I applied for Fall semester entry.

Capitalbase:
Please, has any of the schools you applied to responded with an offer yet?
Thanks.

Schools with GRE waiver for PhD plenty just search.

this link can help you

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_American_universities_and_colleges

I applied to 10 universities for summer and fall 2023 only 2 require it.

iseoluwa89:
Good afternoon all,
Please is it possible to get a GRE waiver from a school that states it as part of their requirements? If yes, please how do I go about it and if otherwise any recommendation of schools with GRE waivers for Phd prog.

Thanks

There is none

Jacobamusa:
Hi guys, please how can I join the USA embassy group on WhatsApp?

And they will be sent back for misrepresentation of facts.

DawnEden:
1. Yes
2. Pls go for regular, if you choose previously denied, you will not be able to get an appointment date until 6 months as passed. Cgi don't keep such record unlike ds-160. So pls select regular

He didn't state that his brother is in the USA that's why.
When he supplied that information then I believed him.
15k is small money if you are making it here in the states. judging from what I made in my last summer internship.

Mobil567:
I don’t know why you all seem amazed with the figure. It is actually possible. My boss in Sweden is also an It guy. Makes takes home 136k krona a month after tax oo!! That’s like 13,600€. I didn’t believe it till I saw it with my korokoro eyes. So it is very possible he makes $15k & I don’t think that’s why she got rejected

Your "friend" can reapply but MUST pick previously denied

djsmart:
A beautiful morning to you, Nairalander family. A friend of mine went for US interview 2weeks ago. And he's planning to reapply to Abuja. Though he initially picked Abuja but changed to Lagos due to Abuja embassy closure at that time.
1. Please can he reapply now?
2. When reapplying, is he going to pick regular or previously denied?
Thanks in anticipation
