Kamala Harris is on the right path to victory. The outpouring of endorsements and donations is giving her the right prominence and momentum to defeat Donald Trump.

This is a case of a prosecutor and a criminal .

The protest should hold. Nigerians should be ready and go all out. Criminal leaders will kill’s you if you don’t take them out of that seat

They have paid him. A viable protest should have no leader

Nigerians should not be deterred or pay any mind to these kleptomaniacs .

Go ahead with the protest, do not destroy innocent people’s property or loot shops

donasere:
Actually not all of their staff have the technical know how to get that payment done. First guy who did it last week made a flimsy mistake, and at the time of my post Western union was actually down. However, we were able to complete payment at a later time yesterday and got it sorted.

Luckily the VO also saw it on their portal or whatever today before the interview.

Thanks.

So I assume you were approved.

The protest should go on. Nigerians should follow the path of Kenya but desist from destroying properties of innocent Nigerians.

Ellskc:
But I am a genuine student. It’s my actual plan—I do not plan on staying in the US after my studies. Should I have lied and said something else? Everyone always says to be truthful during the interview, but now you're saying the truth is cliché. What are we meant to do now?

You’re going to school because of your aunty’s company lol.

donasere:
Initially paid last week. But they messed the payment up and we only just found out when I didn’t get payment confirmation.

Unfortunately, today Western Union is actually down in Dallas.

Those guys in Dallas or whatever are just trying to scam you. Lol.

SEVIS fee payment is well known in most Dallas western Union center.

If I can successfully pay Sevis fee in a rural village in Idaho, I see no reason why your Sevis fee payment has turned to a rocket science lol.

Visa officers now are looking for the slightest mistake to deny you visa lol.

Ellskc:
Visa Not Approved
Undergraduate program
COA: $39,706

Me: Good morning ma
Vo: So you are going for your bachelors in Business Administration and Management?
Me: Yes I am….(I wanted to talk more about it but she cut me off)
Vo: what will you be studying under it?
Me: (I was confused so i repeated it) My course is Business Administration and Management
Vo: No Bus admin is the general term so what will you be studying under it. Or you don’t know what you’re going to study?
Me: (I realized she was asking what is my concentration) No I do. It is Management information Systems….(I wanted to talk about it but she cut me off again)
Vo: Apart from the scholarship how would you fund the rest
Me: My aunty is sponsoring me. she’s the CEO of ——— A company that deals in oil and gas
Vo: (Okay and she started typing)
Vo: what will you be doing after graduation?
Me: I will be returning back to Nigeria to take an entry level position at (my aunts company) and then work up my way to my final goal of becoming a financial manager because I want to contribute to Nigeria’s growing economy my directly impacting the financial success of a company in Nigeria.
Vo: (she started typing for a while then gave me the blue paper)

No document was asked


I’m thinking of reapplying but I’m not sure because my start date is getting close

You see that. “I’ll be returning to my aunts company and work my way up” lol. The agent that gave you that format is a clown.

The denial is justified. I can tell you’re not a genuine student just by that response lol. It’s a cliche.

Kamala Harris might defeat Donald Trump

SETH03:
Thank you! Because I have checked some schools' websites, and the requirements are mostly GRE scores, transcripts, English proficiency test results, recommendation letters, Statement of Purpose (SOP), and CV. And if someone has all these and they are up to standard, is messaging a lecturer (or supervisor) really necessary again? I often hear people say that you need to contact a supervisor first, who will then consider your application.

Some schools expect that you be accepted by a research professor before applying. Some schools do not.

Read the school’s requirements.

Now that Joe Biden has dropped out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris.

I strongly believe America is not ready for a female president. Not even a black woman. Way too many misogynist in the system.

I hope and pray she is able to pull this off.

SETH03:
Is it compulsory to message lecturers before applying for Phd. Can't someone just apply directly on the school website

No it is not. You’ll have to check with the department if they require that you get a prof you’re willing to work with for alignment on research interest.

There are different kinds of Assistantships. RA/ GA/ TA

Taal17:
Yes, or is best to do so especially if you need funding.
The funding for programs goes with the professor and your research interests should align as much as possible.
Treat it like the professor is your hiring manager/line manager.
Sell yourself and why you want to do this research.

No it is not compulsory. It is good to do that depending on the circumstances or requirement.

Nowhere is it mandatory.


There are some GA/TA that are decided by faculty members. For RA one might need to contact a prof- also not mandatory but helpful.

Kenyans are not backing down. Nigerians should not toll the part of cowardice

To all prospective applicants.

Several years ago, I was like you trying to navigate US admission and visa process. I got almost 70% of the information I need here aside Google and YouTube.

Make use of the search bar to search for information you need. Read previous threads especially from 2013-2015. The reason I suggest those years is you’ll find lots of interview transcripts.

Please, avoid anyone with email address on their profile asking you to message them especially those with Bible verse on their profile. Also, those that go on and on about being trained as admission counselor.

Read previous threads and you won’t regret.


Avoid totally lying on your application that you’re married when you’re not. It doesn’t help your case in anyway. Most agents will advise you to, but you will end up regretting.

Cult like following. I want Trump to win so the stock taker can crash and I’ll dump huge money and wait for Democrat to take over lol.

Looking at President Biden’s polls, the end is very predictable that the 81year old is on the verge of quitting the race for re-election.

Kamala Harris is the right fit to take on that mantle as opposed to opening the convention to other candidates.

I personally think Kamala Harris is the only person at this point that can match Donald Trump.

How do we bring FDI to Nigeria with news like this?

You can pay SEVIS if you are in the US with a personal check. Write all the information on the check and include the coupon print out

Wow. Minimum wage is now $46.50. Bola Tinubu deserve a 3rd term in office.

Tonynatty:
What could have gone wrong? Here is my transcript below.

I understood and answered every question. She said my visa can't be granted this time and proceeds to print out a letter which she handed over to me.

Tell your agent to come up with something that’s not cliche.

JadeWilliam:
U don’t have to sound so petty while making a point.

What makes u think it is a terrible and wrong advice?

If I haven’t seen Nigerians do it, I won’t come here to say it.

All these over sabi (s) on the internet. I cannot discuss details here.

I want to believe that @Elo2020 paid her own hospital bill.

Her own child is a US citizen so s/he qualifies for Medicaid. U have to know how to system works. If u don’t ask, u cannot receive.

Life is a gamble, u can’t win if u don’t try.

Who is saying the child doesn’t qualify for Medicaid? How is telling the truth being petty? Why are you so criminally minded?

You told visa officer that you can foot the medical bills without using any government resources. What will you tell the visa officer when he/she ask for the hospital bills/ receipt? You want to go and lie again?

Are you truth deficient or you just like to be shady

ultim:
Please how long do I have to wait for this?

No set date truly. It’s a waiting game

VeeInsider:
@chidiakwari don't get me wrong, you're doing great by helping people like me on this thread. The issue is your temperament, please always take it easy with people like me who are new to this. Thank you

This is a stern warning. Stay away from my post.

VeeInsider:
Not everyone understands like you, people are different and this is what makes us all unique.

If you truly want to provide help, do it with empathy and not anger. That's one thing @OyoTunjiUSA does that makes him better, even though the allegations are too many, he's always ready to help all day and night.

I don't know it all in your field, you don't know it all in my field. That's why we're all unique and different.

@justwise, I would like you to warn Oyotunji and his croonies to stay away from my post.

I will not be this polite the next time.

Greatkenny2:
Please I've done everything.. my sister is the one trying to Pay for me, they asked her for a service code when she got to Western union office... Have you heard something like this before?, I told her to check another branch of their office... PS, western union and check, which is more convenient and takes less time to process? Please do you have any idea?

If you had taken time to follow the instruction, you won’t be asking this question.

I literally just pointed you how to generate a code and you’re still asking me question.

Did you even open the link

Greatkenny2:
Hello guys.. please what's a service code when paying for your SEVIS fee? I was asked to provide a service code while trying to pay for my SEVIS fee at western union office

You have to generate a coupon with the Sevis number on your form I-120.

Here is the link: https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/index.html

Select pay with Western Union if you’re using it or pay with check.

SinachiP:
I have their I-20 already as they asked from the onset if I have dependents. It’s just that my husband may not be able to go with me immediately

It still doesn’t matter, he doesn’t have to go with you.

Like you mentioned, you can tell the visa officer he would be visiting time to time.

Nigerians do not understand the meaning of inflation.

This is highly needed. It's an eyesore for criminals to be that close when we have vast land to relocate them
