Travel / Re: U.S. Student Visa (F1, M1, & J1) Forum - We're Listening by elektra(f): 6:57am On Dec 03, 2016 |
AbujaNIV Please I need you attention. I had my interview on 29th November. My visa was approved. I got an email the next day (Wednesday) with an attached document requesting fingerprints. (I did finger printing during the interview, do not know why they need another). The attachment said the fingerprinting can only be done on Tuesdays, no appointment needed. So I responded to the email (on Wednesday) to enquire about my passport location, I got a response on Friday saying "the records show that I need to submit a new passport photo". ( The response made no mention of the fingerprint request) I went to DHL (collection center) on Friday and submitted the photo. Now I am confused and worried, do they still need the fingerprint? Was it an error? What exactly is going on? My return flight is on the 10th Dec. So I need that visa processed ad quickly as possible. I cannot reach the consulate on phone and talk to someone immediately, and emails are responded after 2 working days, by the time I get the next response it might be too late to get the visa on time for my trip. |

Hbaba: Are you getting a new SEVIS number? The SEVIS number on your I-20 must match that on your visa in order to travel. |

LagosismyHome: When I was offered the Dropbox option the computer prompt informed me it would take at least 2 weeks from the day I submit my documents for the visa to be ready. I am only in Nigeria for 3 weeks and I still needed to renew my passport before getting the visa, so I chose to be interviewed. |

My people, I greet una oh! I have full coverage and pay $93/month (including renters insurance). Now, I've never been in an accident so I don't know how good my coverage is (even though i have read the policy we all know these insurance companies are crazy). I've used the emergency towing service though at no out of pocket cost. I renewed my visa at Abuja today. Most of the students interviewed by the woman on window 6 were not approved. A lot of the applicants were ill prepared, many of them could not answer simple questions. Q: Why did you choose University of xyz A: I decided to go to the US because it has some of the best schools Consular officials know that anyone that wrote and passed the GRE shouldn't answer questions like that. I thought some sounded genuine but they were still denied. Please do a thorough investigation on your school and subject before you go because that woman was not playing around. Congratulations to those who got theirs for the first time! Good luck to those still trying. Cseejhay how far? 1 Like |

kangminhyuksho: I am also loving the man in my house. I have been so busy with school that I stopped watching shows completely but I am a giant Kim Young Kwang fan and I had to watch it. The first 4 episodes kept me glued because I was so curious about the back story and why he married soo ae's mum but they revealed everything in episode 5 now I'm worried the show might start to get boring. Have you watched Go Ho's starry night? Young Kwang and SNSD Yuri were part of the main cast. I liked it a lot. |

Onegai: But surrogacy will require him to raise the child himself. He not only needs a womb, he also need the woman to raise the kid. (Most likely by herself since they are not married and the kid would be staying with her, but I guess it's no big deal because many of the so called married men do not participate in raising their kids sef so what is the point in marrying?) He wants the kid to bear his name and enjoy the nourishment that comes from a mother. 1 Like |

tensazangetsu20:Of course you have to have a competitive GPA! You have to do the work or you won't get accepted, that is why I compared it to a white male with the SAME qualifications. If you want leadership skills on your CV, your best bet is to acquire leadership skills, there are so many ways to demonstrate leadership - join a student organization and run for office. It could be a small student organization that will not require tons of work. Here are some things that could boost your CV: Volunteer for an NGO during holiday -you can get a good recommendation letter from that. Learn a skill - it does not have to be in your field of studies but it demonstrates initiative and an interest in learning new things. Have a small business - even a small garden in from of your house is fine and incorporate what you learn from your business in your personal statement. Most people who apply to ivy league schools have a near perfect academic record but not all get in. So to be considered you need to set your self apart in some way. As an applicant from Africa, you may not need to think too far from the box because your normal experiences are already very different from most of the other applicants and that is what will set you apart. |

kingcomet: You are right. What I was trying to say is the average person always has needs and wants that surpass their income and so if you want to save something has got to give. |

tensazangetsu20:Lol, you do not need superhuman abilities. It is easier for a black female to get into a top school than it is for a white male with the same qualifications. Especially if the said female grew up in Africa and would have a different perspective on a lot of things. Many organization are interested in diversification so don't think you cannot get it. You would be surprised. |

Oocc: It's nothing new, it's the same thing almost every financial book will tell. - Save first, spend second. I use the 50:25:25 rule, use 50% for needs, 25% for saving, the other 25% for wants. My dad had set it up so the bank take out the saved 25% and puts it in a fixed deposit account. The secret is holding the deposits for a long time, so your compound interest continues to grow. You can read about stuff like this on countless books and website. My dad also buys and holds stock for a long period. 2 Likes |

My daddy! That man has tried for me! He sacrificed so many things to give me world class education. (I did my undergrad in one of the top 100 schools in the world). Note that I am the only girl. Many of his friends and colleagues questioned why he would invest so much in his girl child, but he did not answer them. He is a financial investment wiz and I learnt so much about saving and the art of letting my money work for me. If there is anyone that has my interest at heart 100%, it is my father. My mama too dey worry about what other people will say. 4 Likes |
Family / Re: Urgent Advice Needed: Should I Wait For Her? by elektra(f): 6:18pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
Lol, here is my own personal experience. I have been asked out by 3 different pastors at different times and they all followed the same format. The first time I spoke to them was when they made the move to request for my number. From that day onward they start calling every single day just to 'greet' me! If I do not pick, they leave so many missed calls, sometimes running into double digits. And when I call back they said they just wanted to greet me. Ah ah, but you greeted me yesterday now! I did not know how to tell these brothers to let my phone rest. I don't know if this method of getting to know a girl has worked with other ladies before but it was certainly a turn off for me. Even though they swore heaven and earth that God said I am their wife (which I knew it was a lie because I am more agnostic than I am Christian as my primary reasons for going to church is to make friends and please my parents, they were obviously mistaking my introvertedness for spirituality) I did not give them a chance. I cannot take you seriously if you say you love me when you know nothing about me. Try to get to know the girl without putting pressure of her. One thing that could work is doing stuff together in the midst of other people like volunteering at charity events, going to church programs together. ETC. 4 Likes |

Coldfeet:I do not care about the comment you quoted, my response was based on what you wrote. You had earlier reprimanded someone for preferring the Catholic church. You called him "Mr my church is better than yours". Then you went on to compare trishapal and mandingoxxx's Christianity to someone else's. You even said they should be more like bidoo because he is a true Christian. In order word 'his Christianity is truer than theirs'. Pray tell, how is that any different from "my church is better than yours"? Do you not see the hipocrisy in what you did? 2 Likes |

Abeg my people, help me! I am having so much difficulty submitting the ds160 form. I need assistance please. First, the website keeps saying that "an error occurred while processing my photo try again later", even though it already stated that my photo fit the requirements. My photo is 44kb so size is not the problem. It does not have the 'continue without photo' option anymore so I am stuck on that page. The sign and submit button is not highlighting. I am tired! Please how do I submit this form? I have been on this for 3 days now! |
