oolumide: I am so suddenly tired of leaving in this country with all the depressing news coming from her daily. I have always been an advocate of staying back in the country, but suddenly i lost all form of attachment and solidarity due to what you all know, security ,low quality of life and many more. I also want to give my children some form of internation exposure by leaving abroad.

However, I have strong positive biased for a country with country side life but well organised and developed. Zimbabwe was a country i once stayed for 3months in 2003 that i fell in love with, Harare, Victoria Falls, Bulawayo name it. Clean and well organised, however that cannot be said of that country anymore due to economic challenges and her running battle with European countries over land redistribution.

Please i welcome ur lovely suggestions.

Regards & Best wishes

Hi, America or Canada should be fine for you & your family. Peace.

ajaks zucy: Hello house, I need help  list of schools in †ђξ US that does not require both SAT and TOELF for UG. Anybody with any useful hint.

Hi, what are your educational qualifications? Are you applying as a Transfer Student or a Freshman? Sincerely, if you are applying as a freshman, i doubt any US institution would waive Sat & Toefl as it is required of every freshman unless you have related exam results. But as a Transfer Student, there are some US institutions that waives both Sat & Toefl depending on the number of credits achieved in your previous/current institution. Hope this helps. Peace.

fittty: Ok thanks. I'll check em out

You are welcome bro. Peace.

fittty: I'm going in for Management/Human Resourses Management

Check out University of Nebreska in Nebreska State: unomaha.edu, Vapolraiso University in Indiana State: valpo.edu. Hope this works. Peace.

fittty: Those that offer the course I'm going in for keep asking me to have WES do d evaluation... I don't want to miss spring entry

Also, what's your choice of course?

fittty: Guys do u know of schools that don't ask for WES transcripts evaluation? Google isn't helping

Hi, lets start with your choice of state. Which is?

spookie: @Emmanuelson20 , your friend can pay in any of the Ecobank branches in cotonou, its as easy as that. and i think there are buses from Mile 2 to cotonou

Thanks a lot. How your side? Peace.

kpolli: Fine. . . Ur welcome, glad to be of service

Hi guy, am really grateful for your assistance. Please, can you describe how he can pay his servis fees @ cotonou? From Iyana Ipaja! Details please. Thanks a lot. PEACE.

kpolli: He should login in like he wants to reschedule, then check his left menu bar. . . He wud see "request emergency appointment"

Thanks a lot. Would let him know. But, is it as easy as that? How is your side? It is well. Once again, thanks. Peace.

kpolli: Has he requested for emergency date?

How? Please explain. Thanks a lot. Peace.

spookie: I know somebody that could help you get an appointment date but its going to be for a fee,lets say about 25k, if u re interested let me so i can hook you up.This is just my own bit though.secondly, if you go down this thread you will find tips of how to do it yourself and be able to get the date you desire. whatever you decide to do,I wish you Gods favour.

Thanks my bro, am interested as far as its genuine & would give my friend the opportunity of resuming in the us this fall. Moreover, doing it himself would be great, but how? Can you send the number to my nairaland account now? Once again, thanks a lot. GOD BLESS YOU, AMEN. Peace.

Good Evening Everyone, i have a friend who got an admission to study in the US & every other documents needed for a visa interview are ready but to his surprise, he couldn't get an appointment interview date for the past few weeks. Although, i advised he should defer his studies till spring, but he said deferring will nullify the Partial Scholarship granted as rightly stated in his I-20 form & e-mailed by the director of international programs. Its obvious his chances of getting a date is very slim, but we are hoping for a miracle. Please house, your assistance is highly needed in the area of getting him a date preferrably 17 Aug-22 Aug. Please, help a brother. Thanks a lot. Peace.

DATHA: THANKS,

its current account,an old Union Bank Statement format.but when he checked he just went again and confirm the figure and type on his system. More so i tried to silent little on Private school stuff but it was mentioned.

SO WHAT DO THINK IS THE WAY FORWARD

PLEASE HOUSE YOUR RESPONSES ARE WELCOME TOO AND POSSIBLE SOLUTION IN GUD TIME

Hi guy(s), sorry for the denial, you would get it next time, be strong! As a fellow in the house rightly pointed out. The problem has to do with the financial statement you presented in terms of the "person sponsoring you & the amount". I think #10million is too low while the person sponsoring you is not related to you but your dad's friend which doesn't seem alright. Why not your dad? 2 Options i have for you, (1) If you must still use your family friend's bank statement, the cash must at least double the initial one & try to get a letter written by him confirming his friendship/relationship with your dad & you in particular & get a notary officer sign & stamp it. You can get this done @ the Ikeja high court or any reliable one close to you. (2) Try to use a Bank Statement that has your surname, either your dad or mum with at least double of the initial amount. I think this is the best option. Be calm & work things out. Hope this works. Peace.

kenoid480: I am a nigeria,a graduate having looking for job for a longtime.I want to leave nigeria. pls Can anybody advice me on which country I can travel to make prospect.Without spending much money

hi, its understandable for you to feel this way. What was your major in school? Grade? Institution? It is well. Peace.

poopppyLiillyy: I was denied a Visa today based on d fact that d act statement I used doesn't carry d same surname with mine.he is my brother,his mum married my mum after his dad died,but the VO doesn't feel convinced enough,pls what can I do?

Once again, sorry for the denial, be strong, you will be granted next time. I think u made a mistake here, "his mom married my mom after his dad died"! As for your question, there are 2 options i have for you. (1) You go to the High Court at ikeja or anyone close to you to get a notary officer sign & stamp a letter written by your Step-brother establishing his relationship with you. (2) If you can get a bank account statement with your surname preferably from your mom, it is the best of the 2 options cos this would create an impression that you have genuine intention of studying in the U.S. Hope this works. Peace.

poopppyLiillyy: Went for my interview today at Lag(with "STATE UR CASE" VO)...was denied and really feeling bad...want to reapply(F1 Visa,Masters)...av paid nw but my school will be resuming 27 of dis month....pls guys help me...how can I get a date asap,so as to meet up eventuallly....can anybody update me abt current date openings??!!

Sorry about your denial but be strong cos you will get it next time. Please, can you share your experience to us on how your interview went cos people are willing to learn from it. Thanks! As for your request, i doubt if you can get any date in August & September probably october is your best bet cos my friend is having a similar issue like yours & could only get October this week. You will need to book a date again, then you send a mail (bulky mails is advisable) for an expedited appointment & wait for a reply soon hopefully. Don't forget to send them all necessary information regarding your new interview date, school's resumption date. You can also talk to them on phone. Hope this works. Peace.

kpolli: That's dishonesty and it would backfire. . . Do not follow this advice. . Just apply the proper way, state that your transferring to a school in USA cos of bla bla bla

hi guy(s), u got me there! But on a second thought, i think that's a good idea but it may be too late for fall 2012, cos i think he applied as a Freshman Undergraduate. Guess, you would have to defer your admission till spring 2013 by applying as a transfer student as my guy sugguested, i think it is a better option. Thanks guy for the correction & better option. Hope this works! Peace.

jhidey92: hello house...one of my causin just finish his bachelor degree in edu/math at unilag..i now tell him to start processing his MS in USA. ouse is it possible wit 2rd upper.

hi guy(s), Yes, it is very possible with a 2nd class upper (2nd class lower & on few cases, 3rd class, but some institutions may require 1-2years pre-masters program before admitting into the masters program itself). Moreover, you can help him research on various institutions with his area of interests using google. Hope he gets what he is looking for! Peace.

[quote author=ik.swiss][/quote]hi guy(s), if you will be applying from Nigeria, your best option is to get another passport, why? Cos the visa consular would likely ask you questions regarding your mission in North Cyprus which could reduce your chances of getting a F-1 Visa as it creates a doubt about your "genuine" intentions about studying in the US. When asked if you travelled before (@ least to North Cyprus), your answer should be "NO" or else ... .... .... ... ...... Hope its clear! If not, let me know. Sure have a great day. Peace.

[quote author=ik.swiss]please my follow gurus in the house i need your help on this issue i have in mind and is been troubling me..I studied one semester in turkish republic of Northern cyprus and i the school system there was bullshit and no work and also was a racist country so i applied for minot state university in usa and am expecting my letter and my 1-20 form.my problem is that i have a racedent permit and is two years racedent permit in cyprus if i am going to the enbassy for my f1 visa if the counseler ask me about it what exactly am i gonna tell him....please help is needed[/quote]Hi Guy, as for your question. Please, honesty is what you need. Simply tell the visa consular the truth about your resident status if you are asked. (They could have some information about you without your knowledge, its North Cyprus not Nigeria) Are you going for fall 2012? If Yes! You need to get your I-20 & get ready for your interview as quick as possible so as to resume early for studies. North Darkota is a nice, cold & friendly place, hope you enjoy your stay there & i wish you the best in your future endeavours. (DON'T CROSS OVER TO CANADA, LOL!!!) Peace.

fittty: Guys abeg help a brother out oh. I don tire for this yankee sckools sef. The school I applied to for Spring 2013 just emailed me and told me I have to send a WES evaluatation, take the toef test and do one health test(Proof of Immunization against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), HBV & Tetanus).....

Guys abeg help me on which school dey easier without much requirements abeg. I no won miss this Spring entry. Thanks

Hi Guy(s), As for your request, you should try google the "university of nebreska" in nebreska, "vapolraiso university" in indiana. Am sure these schools don't request for WES Evaluation. Alternatively, research using google to get your exact choice of institution. Hope you get what you want soon. Congrats to all F-1 Visa holders & the intending & future holders. Wish you all the best in the States!!! Peace

Good Evening Olatunji, firstly, u earlier asked 4 an advice on renewal of passports, how far have u gone about it? Secondly, how far have u gone with schooling abroad? Thirdly, ur results!

Please, am a university graduate & i want to further my studies in d U.S. Is it possible to get an admission for masters degree into an american institution with my Bsc. Thanks a lot.
