Nope. I didn't know how it happened but I can remember that at one time,I wasn't looking at her.I was staring at my i-20 in front of me. She then asked me what I was starring at. I said 'nothing. She also asked me what school I'm going to transfer to after my ore nursing. I said that I didn't have anyone in mind. Plus the man she interviewed before me got on her nerves. Should I go to abuja for another interview or should I go back to Lagos?

chelseabmw:

yemiosinbajo:
International students are not allowed to study an online program in the US, so, your plan is out of it. In addition, international students are allowed to take only a maximum of one online class from twelve credits.

This happened the morning after the US election. A black American walked up to me in class and said, all Africans should get their ass out of America, I said dude, you are coming with us. cause you're gonna be deported too, then the whole class busted into laughter

Hi everyone, it's been long oooh.

After the first week of school, quiz, test and exam comes every week from either one of the courses. 90 is A and less than 70 is c. God na your hand I dey oooh.

Anyways success to those applying for admission and visa. God has given us victory.

Well done to the people keeping this thread alive and afloat. I now understand when people say that you will barely come to nairaland when you come into US.

Happy weekend!

ngkessy:
what do I do please. answer I gave I thought it was enough to demonstrate that I have a financial backup for my studies even they didn't even request for any of my documents. I read further about the denial under section 214b were I was found ineligible, I could hardly understand where my mistake was coming from, that's why I'm even more confused

ngkessy:

@Triggeredsam

I need to answer this next. It baffles me when people started citing racism as a determining factor. I lived and schooled in NM where 82.5% are whites and 2.6% Blacks or African Americans for 2 years. Whites don't bite, learn to live with them. Leave racism for U.S government to deal with. Please don't say this at the interview. Have other cogent reasons for choosing other states if you don't like WV.

Also, if anyone told you part time job should be your reason for schooling in a state, you need to snub such person. If you're caught jobbing as a student outside school without DHS authorization, you just jeopardized your student visa. The best place you can get a great deal for your parent's money without break the bank is those parts you're running from.




You have funding constraint but you would like to school in a "more city-tionalized area". Ok ooo. Come NYC come study, then you go no say struggling no be moin moin and Jesus no dey get tribal mark . WV is a nice state. I have 2 friends that just graduated from WVU. Square65 another pioneer member of this thread got his PhD from WVU in May. Him, his wife and daughter are living comfortably in the state for now. The county you're going to school is what matters. Lastly, I don't see anything spectacular about AL.
