Hello sir/ ma,

This is my story, I need urgent help, I have been looking out for a date for interview Lagos or Abuja. my orientation is on the 6th of januar and classes start on the 13th.

The Abuja date is now January 26th. what can I do? Lagos is already February 22.

I need help.

Timilehin3:
Thank you very much bro. I will do that immediately. Hope writing that to help me get enough time for preparation and settling down before program starts it is a tenable reason?

Deegayes:
why is that a problem please? you have about 10 days gap now

Rexmy:
Once you have booked an appointment, you will see "emergency request" or something close to that on your dashboard. Click it and fill in your tentative travel date and reason for requesting for an emergency interview date. You should endeavor to upload your I-20, sevis confirmation and appointment confirmation before submitting the application.
You will receive an email stating whether your request is approved or denied. If approved, you will be sent a link that would enable you reschedule to an earlier date.
I hope this is helpful.

Tamison:
My story is one of mercy and grace!!!! Everything happened so fast! I can't but thank God for His faithfulness thus far.

Received i20: Wednesday, Nov 27. Paid for SEVIS the same day.
Booked interview on Friday, Nov.29 and got January 8. I applied for expedition immediately and attached a copy of my i20 and confirmation of my SEVIS fee payment.
I got a reply on Monday, 2nd of Dec that my application had been approved..I immediately logged in and saw Dec 6 (1 slot) which I picked.


So here's my transcript!
V.O: pass me your passport
T: Passed
V.o : why are you going to the US
T: I am going to the US for my doctoral degree at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, Greensboro.
V.o: Relax. Forget you're talking to me and talk like you're talking to your friend. I guess I was tensed cos he denied the two people in front of me.
T: I repeated what I said, but was calmer
V.o: Why NCAT?
T: I am going to Ncat cos of the quality/level of research done there..asides that, I am interested in the research done by Dr Lauren Davis who is currently working on the management of profit and non-profit supply chains in dynamic environments, which happens to be my research interest... I also got a tuition assistantship
V.o: what do you do?
T: I work as a Project Engineer at Bleep, we do piping and mechanical installations for FMCG companies like NBC, Nigerian Breweries, etc.
V.O: what's the duration of the program?
T: As seen on my i20, I would be completing it in Dec, 2023.
V.O: 3 for a PhD?
T: Yes, I already have my master's degree.
V.O: How many schools did you apply to?
T: 4
V.O. : Name them
T: I listed them
V.O: How many admits?
T: 2, Clarkson and Ncat. I'm on waiting list for Stevens Institute and got a reject mail from Auburn University, Alabama
V.o: what would this degree do for you?
T: Its always been my dream to be a professor in the field of Industrial Engineering and so I intend to use this degree to secure a lecturing job at the university of Ibadan, my Alma Mata. Priority is given to past students with international exposure who are interested in lecturing.
V.O: ok, I believe you.
T: Smiles
V.o: Who would be paying the balance?
T: My parents...my mom is a caterer and my dad is an Engineer. I passed their statements..also included 2 fixed deposit certificates for my dad. He just looked through my mom's statement and passed it.
V.O: So are you planning to get like a TA or RA on campus?
T: Yes Sir. I've been in talks with Dr Davis who has assured me of getting a TA upon resumption on campus.
V.O : so your mom, does she like have a restaurant or what?
T: No, she does outdoor catering as well as supplies mid-day meals at schools in xxxx as well as corporate organisations like xxxxx bank etc
V.O: Do you have your reciprocity fee here.
T: Yes, I do
V.o : Are you married?
T: No
V.o: Any kids?
T: No
V.o: ok..I'd be approving your visa. Make sure you keep this i20 well, it's very important. And do well in your studies.
Enjoy your stay in the US..
T: Thank you very much.

P.S: Asides the statements I showed him, he didn't ask for my SEVIS payment confirmation or test scores although I had all of them with me. I am grateful for this platform cos majority of what I know now, I got it from this page( Imagine, someone in front of me didn't know about reciprocity fee, another person said nothing had changed from his last application- he had earlier been denied in Abuja). I also read transcripts from page 1 as well as part 14 of this group.
Thank you all for the congratulatory messages, I'm indeed very grateful.

Godiswonderful:
You can’t go for interview February once your resumption is 15th jan

Tamison:
Hello guys!
Please for those that went for their interview recently, is there a place one can keep bags or phone?

Godiswonderful:
You can’t always check often at least 3 times a day so they don’t block you for 3 days ...check mostly at night ...but if you see you can’t get any suitable date in Lagos probably Abuja you might see an earlier date ...Lagos is really populated
Concerning rescheduling when you open your cgi profile the home page you would see reschedule appointment

Godiswonderful:
Wow it’s not possible to go for your interview once the start of program commences ..you just have to try and keep checking for earlier dates probably late at night and reschedule... I’m sure this is Lagos.

DexterousOne:

Kohenphos:
I will like to share in this post some proven legit means of earning money online as a freelancer. Now, I'm not talking of Fiverr, upwork and the likes. But sure and guaranteed sites.

We all know the world we are today is ruled by those who have the right informations and act on them.

Today, IGNORANCE IS NO BLISS.


Believe me, I personally have been there trying to find extra source of earning online that won't gulp most of my productive time. I've fell victim of a lot of scams and tried brokers where I lost my investments.

So this is not one of those means whereby you do nothing with the expectation to get something. NA. You'll be rendering legitimate services and paid for the same. Which link

I will be sharing 4 proven means of earning online. All required for this means is having access to Internet connection and good knowledge of English.

1. Transcription: this involves turning audio contents into written, readable format. Though, there are a lot of them online. I've tried www.qa-world.com and gotranscript.com. They are very okay, once you register and pass their assessments, you're good to go. The only thing is that you must be familiar with foreign English accent. Follow there rules for transcribing. You can earn at least $4 a day. Now that may be small, but it's clean and legit. They pay every every week and there is no minimum cashout.

One thing about them is that they pay only to PayPal accounts. So if interested, you can dm for free ebook on how to set up a free, functional PayPal account in Nigeria.

2. Article writing: You can put your writing skills to work to earn ₦500-₦1000 for every 500 worded Article. Nice isn't? And one thing is I've discovered a way to get an article ready in less than 30 minutes. You definitely will have to use your brain, not just copy and paste. Before the articles are approved they are checked for plagiarism, grammar and punctuation. So you need to be well guided, so that you won't end up wasting your efforts, time and resources for nothing.

a) The 1st site is scribesbay.com, they pay ₦100 for every 100 words, so if you're requested to write an article of 400 words for them, you'll earn ₦400. And they give 1hr for every 100 word Article. Your article must not be less than the required number of words and not exceed it by 50 words. Your first assignment (as they call it) is for evaluation and not pairs for. Cash out is 12 pm to 6 pm every Friday, minimum amount for cashout is ₦1000.

b) The 2nd is through Hiwap, now many of us might know Hiwap as an affiliate program which is true. But I want to talk money on their opportunity given to earn by writing articles. They pay ₦1000 for every 500 word article. They pay every Friday also, and minimum cashout is ₦5k. So you don't need to refer people to earn. You are free to choose any health related topic of yours, and submit for approval. Pls note that plagiarism is not allowed. The only caveat to Hiwap is that you have to do the ₦2000 account upgrading thing before you're allowed to write and earn. Which to me has been worth it, because even as the busy lazy type, you can earn upto ₦14k every week writing for them, which is (7x) your initial investment. You can check my signature for the link to start your registration. I can show you the means of getting the article ready, and it takes leads than thirty minutes. Also, I'll give you some links where you can correct you grammar and punctuation for free.


As they say "knowledge is power, if you're uninformed, you'll be deformed, for information brings transformation."

I've shared my knowledge, you can choose to remain broke by not taking any action.
