Do I have to be present in Nigeria for a Visa renewal via DropBox?

cseejhay:
pls can someone help me with materials like past exam questions and the likes to aid my preparation for SAT and TOEFL.pls help me.thank you.

Use Barron prep textbook

pappyyanky:
okay thanks ,so the Sat or the Toefl which one should I take ?

Take the SAT

pappyyanky:
That is an email message from Ball state university admission department, does that really mean I shouldn't take SAT and TOEFL , and hope it will not be a problem at the embassy for not taking any of the test. CUs the should waive Toefl for Nigeria student, Nigeria been a English speaking country and the school does require SAT from international student. So regular admission is guarantee to Nigeria student not conditional one CUs they found Nigeria a English proficiency country and been part of the country the school waive Toefl 2, pls house which advice can u give ? I hope if I dont take the test it will not b a problem at the embassy.

The reality is you should still take the SAT because when you get to school you will still be required to take a state based exam, for them to know you have the adequate skills or knowledge to be in college. You might have to take developmental classes and pay extra cash for no reason if you do not pass the exam. So the SAT would ease you from writing those exams, putting you in the place of college level or higher. For example math; when you have an SAT score that is high enough, you skip two or three math classes, and puts you in Calculus 1 straight up (But when you fail to take the SAT and you do not pass the state based exam for UG, you will have to start from the lowest form of math class).
It is also good for the embassy, if you want to be portrayed as a potential student, take at least one standardized test. It would increase your chances of getting a visa

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'm really glad I stumbled across this forum.
I've just gone through some of the previous discussions and they've been really enlightening. Getting a US student visa from Nigeria seems to be even more difficult than getting admitted into a US school in the first place.

I have a few questions (for any one in a position to answer):

1. Does the school you're admitted to have any bearing on the success/failure of your visa application/interview. For eg. let's say I have an I-20 form from Harvard College. Would that 'guarantee' me a US student visa from Nigeria?.

2. Can anyone offer any 'specific' information on scholarships that can be applied for prior to admission to a US university (for Nigerian students). [I got 2280 on the SAT I, 770 (Math Level II) and 790 (Physics) on the SAT II].

3. Considering my 1530/1600 score on the SAT Verbal (CR+W), do I still need to take the TOEFL to impress the folks at the visa office? $180 is a lot of money and I'd rather not have my parents spend it if they don't absolutely have to. MIT and Harvard waived the TOEFL for me since I did well on the SAT Verbal, but I would still gladly take it if it would help with my visa application. I can't imagine being denied a student visa if I do get admitted to an Ivy.

4. And finally...in my application for a student visa (for undergraduate studies), does the bank statement I submit have to show funds sufficient to cover the total cost of attendance for all 4 years or for just the first year?

Thanks.

1. It does not guarantee it, but I am sure you will have a high chance of getting the visa
2. If you apply to midrange schools, you might get a full ride scholarship with your SAT score. But Ivy League, I do not know of. But that is some pretty good score man (If I had your SAT score, I would not settle for less, and would not come to America without a full ride scholarship.
3. Man I do not think you need to take TOEFL, because if Havard and MIT can waive it for you, man.... But I believe the SAT has covered the grounds of the TOEFL. people without standardized test even got their visas, talkless of you with a high SAT score. If you can defend yourself well, I do not think you can be denied
4. No just for one year.

Checked his Name...Osato(Asato) looks like Igbo name or may be he is from Igbanke Clan..all hail Umuigbo

So? Can you not read it succinctly says he's from benin, Edo state with no assumption.

The full name and neaning is:
Osatohanmwen
Which Osato is the short.
And means: God has or had mercy on me.

My question is, why bring tribe into it. All that do not matter, as long as he is Nigerian we are proud of that.

When you get to be around people of different nationality, you will understand that a Nigerian is a Nigerian no matter his tribe or whatsoever, we are black and one (Africa).

What is gonna be the exchange rate, when I traansfer some money in the US to a domiliciary account in Nigeria? Would the exchange rate still be the official 197NGN or the black market rate of 320NGN?

richylee:

I

I applied to only Victory Bible College, because I have a mentor who graduated from there, and you should know the definition of a MENTOR. So my mentor was groomed by this same school, so why on earth will I apply to other schools. Applying to other schools means I do not believe in the teaching capacity of VBC and I also see it as someone being desperate to school in the US by all means.

If one has a genuine reason and a school in mind, I see no reason why same person should apply to more than one school, I see it as wanting to school in the USA by all means.

Do people have to naturally tell you to cram it is the crammer and copier that goes all out in a desperate unprepared state to naturally cram.

Get the argument, point and message which is interview sessions. of applicants successfull or unsuccessful should be discouraged from being posted, used as basis/foundation(like you said) for preparation or whatever.

If you are a genuine applicant when you are denied deep on your mind ( if you are genuine with yourself) you know why you were denied and even most times told same by the consular officer.

But counterfeit applicants in an easy way to get it quick again come here asking for scrutiny and prepping up so as to "know what to say" not necessary the right intentions to be "successful" the next time.

Ask those you guys call gurus( i know they will be sincere) most of them got "approved" after at least a denial how more serious they were in areas of upgrading their present situation( finances, job relativity to course of study etc) , more detailed course researches and school not one will tell you the basis was or their strength was in the "success story of a interview session"

Like warriboy said i am the typical "cover book for exam kind of guy" and you know why its a confidence booster and shows seriousness.

i would rather do it myself and if you are so so so good. rthat you ever have "access" to copying my success tips good for you.

But i will NEVER ever encourage a family member or friend to go solely searching for visa interview questions and answers.

Phewwww how does it even sound to you guys

All I see are; poor sentence structure, run-on sentences, bad usage of punctuation and mechanics.

PS: I crammed my answers and got my visa.
For real egbon, people would just disrespect you for no reason on here.

blessedfavoured:
Pay your fees with form A,exchange rate is still 200 through cbn.. Add your allowance for the semester to the fees if you can get a cash refund... That's what my sister does to bypass the crazy exchange rate.

how can i do this, and what is a form A?

Mikkyphaton:
So pls dress well, don't just wear a shirt and jeans, I noticed a lot of guys dressed casually but it doesn't protray entirely a student characteristics.

I wore shirt and jeans twice -- I never got denied.

Government too dey heartless. No wonder dey just dey die from one disease to another. Imagine 14year Alison Madueke son crying because her mum will soon leave him. Blood money no fit give una rest at all. Any single Nigerian that died because of your silly meeting or fund stolen, their blood go dey una head with ur pikin wey follow una chop the blood money. Nonsense!!!!

Nothing, absolutely nothing go do their pikkin

topejohnson72:
I told the VO I was going to Ohio when I went for my interview but unfortunately, I can't take a flight to Ohio because it will cost around 412k and I can get a flight to New York, JFK, for around 200k ( a difference of 212k) and then rake a taxi from JFK new York to Ohio which is my final destination. However, my family of 3 will be makin this trip, which means a huge difference of around 636k
Can we take the flight to JFK, then heads to Ohio by taxi ?
Won't we have issues at the POE ?
Thanks

Yes you can, and No you wont
