Not true. Nursing in the US, is an undergraduate study.

Loluuuuuu21:
There are implications, if you do not resume classes after a month , the school would notify the embassy and your visa would be canceled . I know someone with this experience.

Donblaize:
Gurus in the house please is it possible to defer one's admission to another year after obtaining Visa?? What are the implications

kechy20:
USA F1visa renewal on OPT.
Hello all, has anyone tried renewing their F1 visa while on OPT/STEM OPT? My visa expires July 2023, currently on OPT but I want to know if anyone has renewed their F1 visa on OPT or if they have tried using Dropbox while still being in the US. Thanks

itsdollyp:
Hello guys!

Thank you 🙏🏾.

After being denied twice in 2021, I finally got my student visa 🎊🎊.

Bmuhd4smile:
I checked google already. But the smart thing to do is not to rely on Google alone.

Bmuhd4smile:
Hi great minds! I need list of Schools I can check for fully funded PHD in Business and management related courses in the US.

Tehilla23:
I was given admission with full tuition waiver, stipend of 1415 per month,partial payment of health fees and some other fees.Yet when I messaged the grad school to get my I-20,I was told I will need to submit a proof of fund of 24,599 dollars.Im confused here,I have two dependents so I don't know if there money has been added but when I messaged the grad school representative,he sent a link that I don't understand that my dependents will also pay.I'm confused,the grad school is not replying and I need the I-20 urgently to apply for our visa.
The school is university of Illinois Urbana Champaign.Who has an idea of what is happening please?

Tehilla23:
Anyone going to University of Illinois Urbana Champaign?let's connect pls

Dreamsss:
Wait, lemme understand something. You say you carried phone to call their international office, so they can tell you about their school and culture? Abi is something in my eye?

lawekpemi:
Thank you so much. Please what are the requirement? I heard I will need to use my passport to pay? Also go with my i-20and and photograph.
Lastly how much is it please.

You can use the GTbank app to pay, it's straight forward. Or walk into the banking hall and make the payment over the counter.

Zeejay007:
Thanks @ chibertha.

Just for clarification, does it mean a lot of people do it themselves or engaged an attorney in the US?

BigIyanga:
Have you tried Chemistry or Biomedical PhD programs?

Oga/madam, $80k is a lot of money and burden to have b4 going into US labor market… unless you’re a exceptionally good student be courted/toasted by US companies b4 graduation.. Most of us are average students.. according to Chris Rock!
Dont over-burden your hustle in order not to over-burden your potential outcomes.
How are you going to navigate HB1 wahala with $80k loan hanging around your neck? I’m also sure that your APR is going to be a Shylock rate.. like 15-30% APR?

platypelloid:
Boss thank you so much.

Baba the THE STEM course is pharmaceutical chemistry
No funding from school,or the department.

Please house does it worth it taking loan of 80k usd for this course as an international student

Will someone be able to secure job after graduation please

PLEASE THIS IS URGENT.

THANK YOU.

infosoftlife:
@bolded I guess only the agent received the memo of the policy

platypelloid:
Good morning house.
I must commend all those that have been responding to questions on this platform.
I must say that you people are wonderful.

Please is it advisable to get loan of 80K Usd to study a masters in a STEM Course in usa?

How much per hour can someone earn while a masters student in US?

Is it true that securing a loan to study is a trap for international students in Usa and heavy burden to pay back??

Thank you in advance.

Zeejay007:
Thanks so much for insight. Please can one apply for the EB - 2 NIW himself or require the service of an attorney in the US?

YoungWizard007:
Chibertha, thanks for this
I joined the program, it was nice and insightful and I definitely gain a thing or two
And we were promised app fee waivers to apply for both Msc and PhD for fall 2023
Thanks...

Nazacynthia:
It’s unfair how, una no d post visa transcripts anymore but everyone wants to be helped.

emmybobo1:
I don’t understand this issue. I completed my interview on Tuesday and was successful. Today I received a message to pick up my passport at dhl. But while trying to schedule appointment with dhl the system says that my passport number doesn’t match their records, that I should make sure my DOB is correct. But everything is correct

bomly:
Courses in environmental studies

Environmental engineering

Environmental technology

Environmental science

I just would like to know any naija friendly school. Anyway, im searching and reading old pages

Kenny4smart:
Thank you once again, the list of universities is inundating to be fair lol, but should be worth it anyways..

Now one last one please. Are you saying that there’s no legal way at all a student can be working part time (no matter how little) while studying without the OPT thing?
How do you guys do it please?

Because this is the opposite of what happens here in UK 🇬🇧. A student makes VERY GOOD money even while enrolled here.

Donbigi2:
If your COA for a yr is 36k and you have 40k (460/d exchange). Is this a problem for f1 interview?

BigIyanga:
He/she could try YMCA/Shelter ??

BigIyanga:
Cos the practical question is, how does she/he save $35k/yr from work to pay tuition abi?
If every student saved $35k/yr … why are u still hustling to get into a PhD program? Lol

Kenny4smart:
Thank you woman of valor for your response . I am currently enrolled for an undergraduate degree in the UK 🇬🇧 which I will be concluding very soon and will like to further in the US. This explains why I know very little or nothing about the US study thread.

So if you can be kind enough to guide me further, what’s NIW you talked about please?
Ans NIW is national interest waiver see link
https://www.uscis.gov/forms/explore-my-options/eb-2-employment-based-immigration-advanced-degree-or-exceptional-ability

Again, if an OPT is used while studying, can it still be used again after graduation?
Ans- using OPT while studying can only be done after you have done one academic year and declared financial difficulty (you do not want to go there I promise you)
It is more profitable after studies see link.

https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/optional-practical-training-opt-for-f-1-students
Again how easy is it to secure the H1B?

And again. do you advise I use my UK degree to pursue a PhD directly, if yes,
Ans yes

how possible is this
Ans; very possible if you have high grades, research experience, and publications with the possibility of getting a full ride if you are in STEM

and are there US schools that you are aware of that accepts a UK bachelors for direct PhD?

Ans: plenty use the link below to find one

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


With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you that you have all it takes to relocate to the USA only if you can study the links I added.
Thank you

Your guidance will be highly appreciated.
Warm Regards.

Akin4Christ:
Help interpret this abeg, seems I don't understand English again.
The first was a rejection last year from the graduate coordinator, the second is the recent mail from him for this year application.

Gokoyer0:
Does stipend( cost of living with house rent) included? If it's not included, I will go to USA.

Our people in UK will not tell everything they are going through. You can imagine paying Electricity bills of 300pounds alone.

NiceLegs:
