4. will $2000 be sufficient as a BAT for the poe agent.

Thank you. I'm grateful for your prospective answers.

Bro, the way these folks hoard dates for personal gains irks me. Tons of genuine students looking for dates are likely to defer due to no appointment. More annoying, he used “T&C apply” like he’s offering some professional services.

Na people like this I like to Dey channel my anger towards. Folks like him should be arrested and dealt with.
Bro, I sent you a dm

April 5th, Lagos
Status: Approved


Due to the fear of lagos traffic, I slept over at officer mess on Tuesday. So that I can comfortably trek to the embassy on my interview day. On the D day, I got to the embassy 6 am (my interview is by 7 am), however, I was interviewed by 7:45am

The VO is a slightly chubby lady with a cute face on glasses, the bald man was absent as at the time I left. I was the fourth person she interviewed. She approve the first (a f2 guy with his kid daughter) but the second guy (f1) was not given visa, I didn't hear what he was saying but I noticed he kept pass documents to vo even though she protested that she does not need them, the third guy (f1) was also not given visa, he was obviously not articulating his words well

Me: Hello, how is your day going (with a smile)
VO : Very good, Good morning (also with a smile)
Me: Good morning

VO: pass me your passport and i20

Me: here you go

VO: What are you currently doing

Me: I am currently working as research assistant at the department of * engineering, University of *, which I have being doing for close to 2 years, my roles and responsibilities are blah blah

VO: So, you are a assistant researcher at the department of *** engineering...

Me: No, I am a research assistant at the department of * engineering of the university of *

VO : Alright that's good.

After which she start typing then she decided to take a look at my I 20 and then she said good, now staring at me, she asked

VO: Please can you tell me how you got this funding

Me: Okay, I submitted a compelling application involving my standardised test results, CV, transcript, personal statement, and references from the professors I have worked under. After which, I was invited for an interview among other applicants by the admission committee of the department and I believe I was given the funding due to my performance at the interview, my experiences as a research and teaching assistant and also my academic knowledge in fluid dynamics.

VO: Good, so what is fluid dynamics?

I told her what it is (VO nods and starts typing)

VO: Are you married?
Me: I am single but currently engaged (with a smile while still staring at her)

VO: wow, do you have any kids?

Me: (acting surprise with the question) No, I don't have

VO: Have you travel out of Nigeria before?

Me: No, I have not

VO: will you be excited to travel to America

Me: yes, I will

VO starts typing…..

VO: I will be approving your visa (smiling while passing me the white paper)

Me: oh, great. Thank you.

I really tired to listen to what she was saying after this but I was just hearing but not listening, all I know is that she was pointing at my start date on my i20 and mentioning 30 days, email, and point of entry

I collected the white paper and my I 20

Me : do have a nice day

Vo: sure, thank you.


This is the Lord's doing and it's marvellous in my sight. I know what it took to get this funding and the patience of my PI (another story on its own)

It's at University of Oklahoma. It's per year. Congratulations to you
Mine is actually Oklahoma state university. I am not sure about the standard of living in Oklahoma city but you can make enquire about your school in Reddit because that how I know a lot about my school. Also note that your stipend will be taxed probably within $200 - $400 per month.
Congratulations to you too

Please I was offered full funding for my PhD in fall semester. It covers tution waiver and health insurance. They offer $21,600 as striped per annum. Please is this amount enough to survive in Oklahoma
Very okay. Where in Oklahoma? Is it Stillwater? The standard of living over there is low. A one bd/bt is $400 - $600 there. I will be going there in May to start my PhD mech eng. for the summer. Is the per annum for 12 months or 9 month?

Thank you very much, but do people with fully funded offers go for their interview with acct statements?
Lol, you don't need any acct statement. I also have a similar profile to yours. A colleague of mine who was a research assistant like me is currently in the USA. He stated that he got #25000. However, he is fully funded with no deficit and he was given his visa.

Hello guys. I want to ask how easy is it for international students to get a car with their stipend (19k).

Like how many month does someone have to save to get an affordable car? I’ve been told not all states have good public transportation system
Provided you just need intracity movement and not an intercity movement, then you should buy an electric bicycle. You can get a quality one such as the Veloctric Discovery 1 for as low as $1400.

Your "friend" can reapply but MUST pick previously denied
I have been on a date search group and people came reporting that whenever they pick previously denied after they have been denied and want to reapply for another date, what they get is "there are no available appointment dates".
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by DawnEden(m): 4:28pm On Dec 03, 2022
chibertha:
And they will be sent back for misrepresentation of facts.
I don't understand but you can ask those who reapplied and got a date shortly after they have been denied whether it's pervious denial or regular. Ideally from the us embassy site, you are supposed to reapply after 6 month when you have being denial a visa. Anyway, if there is anyone who had gone for their second attempt what did you guys choose ?

A beautiful morning to you, Nairalander family. A friend of mine went for US interview 2weeks ago. And he's planning to reapply to Abuja. Though he initially picked Abuja but changed to Lagos due to Abuja embassy closure at that time.
1. Please can he reapply now?
2. When reapplying, is he going to pick regular or previously denied?
Thanks in anticipation
1. Yes
2. Pls go for regular, if you choose previously denied, you will not be able to get an appointment date until 6 months as passed. Cgi don't keep such record unlike ds-160. So pls select regular

Either way, it would have affected you... but at least being honest may have resulted in a denial without a ding at your character. Lying is much worse, and makes you look like you're no better than he is.

No, I didn't lock my sim but my phone was locked using a password.

This was the 2nd transaction.....and on and on...I can't post all......that was how he kept withdrawing the money until the last Kobo in the account
Woow, this is interesting. My funds were also withdrawn using 2 ussd transactions by buying airtime of less than 20k and the third and final transaction used a pos agent clearing the remaining 50k. I saw the phone numbers the airtime was transferred to in the transaction descriptions. But since police were informing me to bring close to 150k to trace the numbers, I just decided to let it slide since the amount cleared in the account was 79k. I also believe that the pos agent is innocent in all this. The pos guy (his name was shown in the transaction description) was just doing his job.

Now I know the story is fake. grin
I believe him. I have a similar encounter. The bank sef an Access. My pocket was picked inside keke along Iwo road. I thought the same way the op was thinking that for them to have access to my phone they will need to flash my phone. I later found out that all they need is your sim. Whether having a sim lock will help, I don't know. But, one needs to be EXTRA careful out there.

Ehyaa, sorry.

But see ehn, whenever you're inside Keke or a moving vehicle, always try to hold your phone in your hand, don't put it in your pocket, it can slip of when you're trying to come down from the Keke, you can as well use a headphone and play music while holding it, to make you not to sleep off

POS transaction can't be traced, even if it is, it won't show names like John Olatunde, etc,, It will rather show User/agent 0025373 and stuffs like that, so trying to trace it, Neither "Agent" or "User" is anybody's real name


You see ehn, Nigerian has gotten to the point that nobody can be trusted, the country is hard, even if it was you that had such opportunity to swindle somebody's money, you might want to take the money, so it's better to encrypt your phone, Sim cards, etc to the extent that it will be difficult for somebody to get your money using your phone


That's why I don't blame people that lock almost every app on their phone, their reasons might be for situations like this

I know of a guy who openly told me he hacked somebody's bet9ja account with over 300k in the account because the guy lose guarded his phone, he used the money there to play games till he boosted the money to over 6 million and added his own account and withdrew the funds.


Everybody get red eyes like this, keep your gadgets save and tightly encrypted.
