There is always a link to estimate cost of attendance on the school website.
So they should look for it on the school of choice.

If it is who is sponsoring your trip?

You can put who ever you like there it's not a problem especially if you are not an older student with work experience which means you should have savings.

Francisca01:
Hello, Good morning.
Please this is urgent as I need the best advise. Thank you.

F1 visa my resumption date is August 15.
I’m just filling my visa application form but I have some few questions.

1. I submitted my bank statement and my fiancé bank statement (he is my sponsor) and I was issued my i-20
2. My mother is also sponsoring on the side and she has deposited dollars into my dollar account as a deed of gift. I didn’t use her as my primary sponsor because she didn’t have enough balance on her account.
3. I also have a good running account.

My question is who do I fill on the form as my sponsor. If I pick my fiancé is that enough ties? I heard picking your parent is better? Should I use myself? Please what’s the best advice you can give me.



I also want to be added to the group please. Abuja group. 08132511270. Francisscawuraola@gmail.com

(Please I really haven’t gotten a hang on the nairaland website I don’t know how to send private messages)

Also what schools offer full funding for Phd students

make una try ooh
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by chibertha(f): 1:40pm On Jun 15, 2022
must it be that school and course?
Guy look for another school that can admit you with what you have for an engineering degree for now.
some schools accept 2.5 without GRE and TOEFL even for Mech Eng.

What about doing EHS and specializing in human factors or ergonomics with that you can go on to Ph.D in Robotics Etc.

Mechanical Engineering is too wide to focus on just one thing.

you need not to explain to nobody why you got that CGPA

only statics and dynamics,
fluid mechanics
and
Strength of materials ( shear force and bending moment) fit make person get extra 5 yrs in school if you get yeye leturers in them.

There are so many ways to kill a rat.
Just search.

"na small small them dey catch monkey" according to my pitakwa people

You see these agents run from them na their belle dey them important

Skywalking:
Hi nairalander I’m a graduate of mechanical engineering from osun state university osogbo
I’m really confused about GPA requirement to study masters degree in USA
Because the last time I spoke
With an agent he said I can’t secure an admission with second class lower(2.6 on a scale of 5)

But I checked the school portal
Some schools accept the GPA of last 60 semester unit

the reason for my low CGPA was because I wasn’t serious in my 200,300level but when I calculated my GPA for my last 2year years it’s about 3.87 on a scale of 5

Please FAM I’m really confused on this
I’ll appreciate if I gt someone to enlighten me on this and the schools that will be good

I’ll like to apply for mechanical engineering again in my masters degree

Finished B.ENG 2019

Must I have taken the CoVID vaccine to be given visa or to fly?
No for the visa stage
To fly check your airline of choice and destination country for the most up-to-date details but if you ask me better start and complete when you get here.

How can my wife come along with me. We were not married when I filled the School application form?

Ask your international student office for F2 I-20 for her, and get the following ready for that:
proof of funds
proof of relationship
and
bio data page of her current international passport

Hello @photoberi
Did this just start? Cos I know a couple of people who have selected regular and were interviewed and got their visa.
Which Consular denied them for this reason? Lagos or Abuja?
Because I have been searching for over a month using previously denied but no date for almost 2 months.
One of them just advised me to select regular or I will not get any date.
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by chibertha(f): 2:02pm On Jun 13, 2022
take the date when you get your visa and inform your school to either
give you a late resumption date or
differ to spring.

beyuadex:
Good evening all, please I need some urgent advice. I applied for EA on Tuesday and it was approved on Thursday. But since that Thursday I have been seeing dates after my start date which is August 22. The first date I saw was August 23 but now all I am getting is September dates and my EA approval is set to expire tomorrow 13th of June. What can I do to get a close date?
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by chibertha(f): 1:59pm On Jun 13, 2022

Good day All.
Pls I need clarification.
I used my friend's address near the school as "address where you will stay in the U.S"

While I used the school and school official's details in the "U.S contact Information " section.

Hope this wouldn't seem like a conflict?
If it does, is it possible to make changes to an already submitted ds 160?

Please can people with experience on this pls advice.
Thanks.

Also I have an active B1visa and travelled for a month in December. Can this be a + or - to my application?
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by chibertha(f): 1:53pm On Jun 13, 2022
since you work in the ministry tow the line of study leaves with pay after you have gotten your visa etc.
It's good your dad is supporting you too.

Your job is a good tie back home but because of your tie in the USA which is strong too you have to reaaaaaaly convince the VO that you would return that's where your job comes in.

Go and find out from the civil service commission what it takes to go for study leave with pay so that you would be better equipped.

In my state
when you get admission you will notify the commission in writing advising on the possible time of resumption which is visa based
that would be acknowledged and you would be advised to revert back when you get your visa for final details.

Does documents are live documents then the rest you talk with your mouth.

idcom1:
Happy Sunday guys...
Plz I have couple of questions to ask and I would love quick response cos it's urgent.
I applied for visa twice in 2015 and was denied base on the fact that I choose community college then. Fast forward I finished my undergraduate in 2018 and have been working at Lagos state ministry alausa since my graduation. Now have admission for MBA at central Michigan university.
My question now is can I mention my brother name who is a citizen by naturalization while filling my ds160 form with raising an issue with VO
Is using my dad as sponsor a great choice despite the fact that am working?
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by chibertha(f): 1:44pm On Jun 13, 2022
All these agents eeh the thunder that will fire them is doing press up in hell.

Tell the VO you did not know you could get a direct master's because of your grade.

You can get a master's and funding with your grade.
TAKE OUT 2HRS EVERYDAY TO SEARCH
How to search
do not be bent on a state
leave out the big names (states, cities, and schools) but if you want them then write GRE and ace it.

as a hustler targeting the spring semester, e get why.

open every state's wiki page in there go to education from there you will get all the schools in that state and then go over them one after the other.


Hollar111:
Hello everyone. I am a newbie here and I recently just graduated from a University here in Nigeria. I studied Mechanical Engineering and I am looking forward to start my application to any University in USA for my MSc program. I meet with an Agent to help me with my application but the Agent told me I can’t get any admission into any University in USA because I graduated with a 2.2(lower class). I was introduced to this thread by a friend who told me I can get help from here. Please Guru’s in the house I need help with my application. Can I get an admission to any University with 2.2 and can I get some fundings too please (Fundings because I am not from a rich family just an average family surviving). Please I want to try and get my application done correctly and I don’t want to fall in the hands of Agent again this time again. Because after I graduated from University an Agent helped me to apply to a University in USA but for a Bsc degree in Computer Science, he said because I can’t get any admission with a 2.2 so I should go through Undergraduate which I did and I was denied a visa I guess because due to my long years after High school. PS: I finished High school since 2012 and I had a delay of 4 years even before I got admission into a university here in Nigeria and I studied a 5 years course (Engineering) that means I have a 10years gap since my High school and I just graduated from University Dec 2021. I have fall in hands of Agent and I spent a lot with no outcome. My problem now is how do I apply for a university with funding with a 2.2 and also another fear is how would the VO see me because I previously applied for a Bcs in Computer Science which I was denied and now I want to apply for a MSc in Mechanical Engineering my fear now is won’t the VO be thinking how come I applied for a Bsc in Computer Science and so soon I am applying for a MSc in Mechanical Engineering which I didn’t include on my former DS-160 that I already had a degree because the Agent told me it’s a red flag to say that.
1. Won’t the VO be thinking how come the switch so soon and
2. also how to defend it that I already had a degree in Mechanical Engineering and I came for a Bsc in computer science and now I want to go for a MSc in Mechanical Engineeringhuh?? cry cry
Please Guru’s I need help. I’ll appreciate any response from you guys. Any school recommendations would be appreciated too please. Thank you

what you are going to study and what you do now, doesn't signify progression.

You might want to tweak your job experience on DS160 to match your proposed course of study,
As for ties you have enough in your mum and fiance.

Hello Good morning,
