My People!!!
It's been a while.
How una dey?
@walspring wetin dey Na?

jemmiee:
Please what's the route needed to be in a medical school in USA? Using the SAT and TOEFL? Will one have to go through a four year undergrad course before applying into the four year medical program? Or can one do A levels and enter 4year medical program directly? What steps are to be taken?

You have to study a four year program(pre-med) in biology, graduate with a good GPA then apply to a med school where you spend another 4years.
As for SAT and TOEFL, it's just a requirement to get into college. I will advice you write them, get a good score, you can get a scholarship.

Hello house, who used boss revolution recently to send money go Naija, they don't have agent in my state, so I had a chat with them, they said I can use my card.
Please i want to know how you did it.

expertman:
Dear Nl,

seems most university in USA now required tuition deposit before sending F120.

a friend just got admitted to UCO and tuition deposit was requested 3k dollars.

the problem is he was caught unaware thought all would be paid over there.


any one got F120 recently without tuition deposit it yes kindly state the university.

thanks and God bless as u help a friend.

There are more than 100 schools that give out I-20 without tuition deposit. You gonna find one when you search for it

Walspring:


Lol...

You are mouthed!

I didn't hear from you again

Rheenah:
You know, when you have the Lord by you, no need to shake. I woke by 4 today . Had 7:30 interview.we left by 5:30 and funny enough I didn't even think of the interview. I was admiring the island and the ocean and all. Even when we queued I was absorbed in my surroundings. Didn't think of the interview much.
I was on heels and from the whole queue and queue and all I was exhausted and vexed. I think the vexation added more confidence to me. Plus I kept singing the song "your grace is enough for me". (Ladies biko dun wear heel to your interview o)
Moving on....
The person that was interviewed before me in window 6 was rejected.

VO: Pass me your passport,sevis and i20
(I did and in my mind was like nawa o. no good morning)
VO: why this school (typing fast)
Me: Berea college is a highly ranked college in us. with good econs faculty. (I stopped)
VO:tell me about this course (I didn't rehearse Ds at all so I didn't HV an answer. But I rehearsed " wat will econs do for u" and quickly answered it)
Me : Economics is a course that will help me develop my analytical skills to work in multiple industries
VO: tell me courses requires in econs
Me: (didn't also rehearse for this sha) maths,eng,econs,commerce and other courses
VO: types furiously into computer
VO: how did u get this scholarship
Me: it is awarded to every admitted student in the school
VO: (laughing) wow I wish I got one of those
Melaughing) (in my head, gimme visa lemme go)
VO: starts to bring a white paper and I smiled because God had done it. Keep your i20 well you will need it congrats. Pick ur passport at bla bla bla place. HV a nice day
Me: thank you
(Those in the queue before me standing at other windows waiting to be interviewed smiled and said congrats because we had been talking about how everyone was getting rejected. Especially by the man in window 3. So mean. So many drama.Even those phonerising (and they were many both male and female. See me with my yeye local accent and God still did it)
Its all God. Be confident. Look them eye to eye. Oyibo is a human. Rehearse (some people just dey bite their tongue)
Pray pray pray

Congrats Rheenah, welcome to Obamaland in Walspring voice

folkvangr:


No fool this is the previous one is deactivated, this is the best that describes me.... Run your mouth a little longer on this thread Ada and see it overwhelm you and next time you quote me... You are not going to scam anyone on this thread, not on my watch... Remember Obuka Adaeze Perpetua was the GTB account number you gave me, do you recall your answer when I asked for your number, did you later claim your sister owns the dollar, did you not ask for the naira without meeting up, no phone number, no address, you also claimed to have sold 'dollars' to 2 people on this thread and they paid first, please name them... Do I have to go on Be warned!!! Proceed with your business (anything else but scam) quietly on this thread.

This thread has been derailed enough, I think it's a high time you behaved matured.
Everyone have moved on from whatever it was, there was no enough evidence of being scammed and you are here stretching this whole issue.

imperiouxx:
By the next 2 - 3 months, assignments, exams and presentations will do the trick once more.

Fresh air will blow on the thread and what will be left will be the regulars.

Enjoy it while it lasts guys.

Lol, Assignments wey get due date

Observant:


So bros na from naija them from dey send all your money come? This is serious? Including living expenses.

E be like say i done enter once chance with people of means

You will have to ask if it's worth the risk of being out of status, there are on-campus jobs that can even pay you more than those off campus jobs, i have a friend working as a research assistant to a profesor, he ends 12 box/hr while some other off campus jobs pay 10. secondly, spend atleast 1yr before getting an authorization either by CPT , economic hardship.

Na u knw hw u want take do ur package for u not to be caught in the act by ur DSO

safex101:
Good Afternoon,

I got admission from a uni in NY, the total fee for the four semester program is about $65800, which I feel is astronomical . I have about 20m personally, I think that will cover for the first year fees and living cost.

Will it be wise to spend that amount on a Masters program ? I was thinking if I get to US, then probably transfer to a sch that will cost less, in spring ( is this possible? ). But on the other hand, what will I be doing from September to January.

I also have offer from a good UK uni, maybe I could just go with that?

Ideas please, cc Walspring , LagosismyHome

You can't be in states from September to January without been enrolled in class, if not, you will be out of status.
I will advice you postpone everything to spring for a better preparation

Observant:


I know you mean to say opportunities but then US in this context has already tied the legal opportunites in this aspect.
Other english speaking destination except UK, have clear cut route to settlement and longer graduate work permit durations after studies though nothing is guaranteed but they are there.

The one drving me nuts now is that F1 student cannot legally work off campus, i dont know about you but im a law abiding citizens who intends to achieve his goals within the tents of the provided law.
How the hell do you tell international students not to work off campus after paying such huge amount for money. And then 12months after they should be on there way back home?

Bros even Germany gives 20hrs per week and 40hrs on academic breaks.

The rules have been here, a Serbian guy in my school was taken out of status last week for working off-campus this summer.
Out of status na very bad experience.
Germany is not an English speaking country, secondly, it's very difficult working there when you don't speak their language

winson4real:


Her English name is Vera and she's an igbo girl.

Don't know her

calfavour:


Coming to North Dakota. Grand Forks precisely

That's 4 hrs from minot.
Nice city though

winson4real:



I have a friend in that school currently doing her MBA but I don't think she's on NL.

What's her name?

Who else is coming to North Dakota, precisely Minot, apart from MeekandHoly?

Daodudavid:

Bro relax and take things easy I asked and that's my way of gathering resources that does not mean I can't make research online, if you have anything positive to add to my comment you are welcome but if you don't have just scroll pass and save your data, at least while you advanced me to google earlier someone helped with list of school which I went for troy and for your information I read through the requirements TEOFL wasn't mandatory as the 6 required documents demanded by the school, but that young man adviced me to go for it anyway to save me time & money wastage, and that's optional.... so please don't see my style of gathering information as a sign of foolishness and dumbness, thanks for your concern sir

Writing a standardized test may not be mandatory for the school, but it doesn't stop at just getting the admission, how about getting your F-1, it's very rare for a VO to give you visa without having a test score.
Nobody here is forcing you to write it, but for your own good.
Abi you want stow-away after you don get your i-20

imperiouxx:


I don't like that school admission system either. They ask too much even from residents.

Lol, it seems most international students just collect their i-20 and transfer to another school.

Walspring:


You can start with Institute of research aka Google. Through that you will even get scholarship if you are serious about your registration

University of Yobe in New York, Moshood Abiola university in Oakland where you get freebie and no upfront payment

Walspring:


There are some schools in US who asked for deposit fee of $250 to $450 before they will issue i20 to their admitted student and that money is commitment fee for housing deposit and they said its refundable, although some of these schools asked for the housing deposits but if you tell them to waive until you arrive they will issue the I20 while some will say they can't waive it and if you don't pay no i20.

I could remember a guy on this thread and I don't know if he still show up like before, according to what he told me his school asked him to make tuition deposit before they can issue his i20 for him, it was after he the payment the school issued the i20 for him and the school is located in Florida and he was granted visa and the VO asked him during his interview the receipt of the payment since it was stated on his i20 that he paid some amount of money.

That's true, schools like Wichita state university will ask for 7k before they issue i-20.

slimmy2005:
Your blood too dey pump. Madam chill a little. Don't run faster than your shadow. Like I said, which letter do I need to invite and not documents to take to the embassy- this time read slowly. Secondly, my school do not give out invitations. Like the VO succinctly describe that I do not even need n invitation letter. That was exactly what I wanted to confirm.

When my friend was graduating last month, the Intl office drafted a letter signed by the Intl student coordinator and was addressed to the embassy with their passport number and name on it.
Go talk to your school Intl student office

DareFadi:


Ask google

you for all person should know it will be on google

- Get a letter from your department verifying you are graduating
- Make copies of your I-20 form, I-94 form and visa page from your passport.
- if you are on assistantship, get a letter from the department stating that you are supported by the department.
- Write an invitation letter
- You or your parents bank statement
- Optional – proof of address

This is not what Google does,
He cant on his own invite his parents, it's the Intl office that drafts the letter and address it to whom it may concern at the home country embassy.

djmakson:


I doubt if that 'kpomo' will make it through the POE. The dried meat my mom sent through Uncle to the US (which I had keenly waited for) was thrashed at the POE. Plenty pieces of meat. The tin pain me die. Infact it wasn't declared, yet it was discovered with a machine. Anything meat is not allowed. Dried fish can go through.

I guess the POE is ATL.

Rheenah:


Wow. When was that? Even with the work program u still pay $5k ...
I wanna knoe, if a new i20 is sent to me will the sevis id be the same? Bc i want to pay my sevis fee and all.

I sent you a PM, check your mail

MrMann1:

Please, I intend to enter states with Intl driver license. What are my chances? Can I start driving as soon as I land

Depending on the state, my state won't allow you to drive with the Intl drivers licence, you must write their online test and also do the road test.

ratchy:
I respected you alot , but with this your post. I will remain silent on whatever anyone is posting again

Never JUDGE from outside the room.

Do you know with the kinda convenience you are talking about, you can actually use the time for posting this to share your transcript, it doesn't take away anything from you.
There is nobody here that will say he or she have never benefited from this thread and that comes from what you and I post here.

penroll55:



Thanks so much for the info...how can I get the link for the practice test.

Go to DMV and request for the book, it's free

Walspring:


Big boss... You money don arrive ooo

Lol, boss nooo

exxy:

exxy:

I actually bought mine on Copart, I bought it at their facility in Minneapolis, but you can choose to buy from other facilities in other states or any state close to your own state, then you go and pick it up

YoungPablo91:
Hello house,

I'm new on nairaland. I wired my tuition deposit and today makes it 2 weeks that I've been debited. Please how long does a transfer take to get to the destination? The school hasn't confirmed the deposit also.

If it's FORM A, it takes approximately 2 wks
