I would apply from Ghana, they get 5 to 10yrs while Nigeria gets 2yrs.

Felixnyle:
I have a permanent residence in Ghana what are the chances of obtaining a student visa in Ghana or Benin Republic?Or should I just apply in Nigeria instead?
Anyone with information about applying for student visa from the US embassy in Ghana or US embassy in Benin Republic should kindly answer.

were you renewing your f1? Then you are eligible for dropbox don't you think so?

TeeD:
Looks like you and I are in the same boat. Please update when you get one. I should be back in school now, and I applied in early March. No response yet.

Print the letter and add your passport to the package and send to Abuja via your chosen DHL office that's it.

Laughter93:
Please does anyone have information about or experience with F1/F2 interview waiver in Abuja? Can I send my documents from any of the designated DHL offices to Abuja embassy or do I have to go to the embassy in person? There is also no appointment time scheduled, all I have is an interview waiver confirmation letter (I don't really understand the document drop-off information on the interview waiver confirmation letter).
I will appreciate any information or clarity on the matter.
Thanks in advance.

With this CGPA you can even get PhD straight all you need is to use google to search for schools that fits your profile.

Omuyi:

Hello Chibertha, 
I'd like to make an inquiry about MU from you. I sent you a message.

Mind you these guys are here too.

ocpaschal:
To be honest, I really do not understand America's stance on Permanent Residency. I would like to study in USA but
I don't know what their PR is obtained. How do you secure a permanent residency in USA. Is it possible or is there a pathway to getting a PR in America through study route?

that is the rule
so go with it for your visa

Awubfjrnndk:
I’ve tried renewing it but they said I have to wait till September when it’s 6months. Will my DS-160 go through when I put in my passport issue and renewal date and it’s less than 6months to start the program?

plenty just take out 30 mins every day to search on google

Chairperson:
Hello,
Does anyone know any university in the US that does not require WES evaluation for master's degree?

for no.1 I will say, family.

how will you come to an open site like this to ask such a question, don't you think the VOs are here too.

decorum003:
Good Evening, please to the gurus in the house
I'm about filling my DS-190 form
Here are my questions
1. In my I-20 my financial sponsors are Loan and family
Will I input this when am filling the DS-190 form
2. When filling past jobs
Can I frame a work place I can defend just asking though
Because I just finished my nysc 2years ago and I haven't been an employee of any work place

yes. I would reach out to all the lecturers to get a place in their lab before I apply.

Osof:
Please I will like to know more. I have opened their website and I am interested in the biological dept. Please do you know if I must have a prospective supervisor before I can be funded

Let me blow your mind no GRE , IELTS and no result evaluation.

Thiwhy:
Is funding sure with environmental science? Their app fee choke so I want to confirm first

ok oooh

Erudite77:
The people are funny. I requested that they give me app waiver but they declined.

They're expecting me to pay $150. Lol.

After all the app fees other schools had 'swallowed'.

No be juju be that?

yes if you get GA, TA or RA.
Biology is sure to come with RA and a 100% tuition waiver too in the school it is there on the department website.

Treyknowles:
Hello, please what about engineering courses, do they get tuition waivers too?

fill a new one with Abuja and update it on your profile

LG1996:

Hello nairalanders,

apply to marshall university you might get TA and a 100% fee waiver with a stipend trust me.
Let me blow your mind no GRE , IELTS and no result evaluation.

SpatialKing:
I finally saw my IEITS Listening 5.5, reading 6.5, writing 5.5, speaking 8.0 and my overall band score is 6.5.
A graduated with a 2nd class lower (CGPA 2.98) in Mathematics. Kindly recommend any university in the USA that would admit me for masters

To add to your point,
some people fill their DS 160 forms with things that are not relevant to anything eg
I have a degree in Theather arts but have been running a bakery for 4 yrs
I will go and apply for a course in general oil and gas safety
and write that I have been working in secondary schools board in my state for 6yrs.

no be juju be that?

TWoods:
What he (and you) said isn’t correct. You are not the visa officer, how did you know that they had “all the requirements”? Are you privy to their notes somehow?

your child on F2 will be in school while you study, the only thing your F2 dependent can not do paid employment but can do voluntary job.

dreambigg:
Good evening everyone,
I am new here and I feel alone because I got no response on my first post. I have another question and I hope this one get a response:

I have a PhD offer with full ride and stipend. Now I am married with a child who is in SS3 (I had him before my marriage).

Although no mention has been made of visa type but I am almost certain it would be F1. My child on F2 visa would mean no study for the duration of 5 years I would be studying.

Now, I am considering sending a message to my supervisor to sponsor me on a J1 visa so that my child would have the opportunity of moving forward with his life (University) while I study.

NOTE: I meet all the requirement for a J1 since I got a full funding with stipend from the school (Based on what is on their website).

Do you think I should go ahead with the question or would I appear ungrateful? I am really confused, please I need suggestions.

yes all you need do is search

PrettyHelen:
Hello house ,

Is it possible to get funding in Public health at all?

send the one you have currently

Labadi69:
No be only accidentally. Na mistakenly. How can a grown man forget the name of where he works? Omo this jakpa movement is real o. Chai see all kinds of format. Unfortunately, some genuine Yankee education seekers will lose out because of all these jakpa people. Na wa o

shekhaz:
I need the experienced ones to help with this. I am a single mum with two kids going for MBA by Spring/Summer. I have two questions please:
1. Would I get any question on my marital status? I am confused as regards getting questions on taking the kids with me. They are age 6 and 8
2. Would the kids be asked any question during the interview?
Thanks in advance

notify your school to rectify it.

saintbizero:
Hello house, I just recieved my I-20 form this evening and there is a major concern on it, my date of birth on my passport page is different from the date of birth on i-20 form. Anyone with this kind of issues should advice me on this.

Accept my congratulations sir.
Indeed, USA is a land of opportunities. Canadian VO may be asking you, "purpose of visit", since you already had atleast one Msc.
Go forth and shine sir.

100% tuition waiver with stipend

Na so

Jboss37:
You are right brother. Most of these agents are scammers and the genuine ones among them will use you to make money. Also they won't put their best to work for you especially helping you to get Assistantship with full tuition waiver. Hopefuls, nairaland taught me most of I know today. Calm down, take days to read through previous thread and part. This MSc in US requires you do it yourself. Having a high CGPA is good, but if you have 2.2 you can still get Admission. Ignore those discouraging you. I GOT ADMITTED TO VIRGINIA TECH WITH FULL FUNDING AND MONTHLY STIPEND. I DIDN'T WRITE ANY STANDARDIZED TEST AND I GRADUATED WITH 2.2. FIRE YOUR SHOT, but make your application strong through good CV and SOP. I uploaded samples of academic CV for those interested.
