Admin9:
Thanks for bringing this up.

I am currently with a girl that has had anal sex before we started dating although i was the one that deflowered her "vaginally". She claims that i was the one that disvirgined her but i am confused if to take credit or not.

There are so many of them. I'd suggest you use Google to search. What is your GRE score and what program are you going for?

Phatkings:
Please can someone help with universities that dosent require gre or gmat or accepts low score

Did you see the link?

Sharonte:
Good morning Guys, I am a newbie here, I have been reading and following the thread. But I need someone to put me through on the stage of filling DS 160. where do I get that please.

thank you.

You should read the original posts that led to the one you quoted. There's no where I said or opined that Nigerians are the worst criminals in the US. I only quipped the cyber crime part as a factor that may be considered in the future if young Nigerians in the US keep engaging in crimes against American people and businesses.

The guy that said he had time to tackle me just took everything out of proportion because he didn't read to understand. It is baffling!
As for when the US embassy is opening, I really wouldn't say the border will remain shut throughout this year. In fact, the department of state is currently working with EU to design reciprocal rules of engagement for international travelers from Europe and those going from the U.S. But nobody knows when things will normalise, that is for sure.

RealTrump:
Every country has their own criminals but it baffles me that we Nigerians think we are the worst criminals around.

Next time you wish to talk about crime rate, can you at least consider the total population too? Over there, Nigeria will always have a higher crime rate than Ghana. Why? Cos we have more population than them. But guess what? We will always make more good headlines than them. It's just simple arithmetic.

We have a set of countries who have turned your country to a wasteland, but they still turn around n call u d worst criminal and you believe them.

Secondly, if there are criminals in a country...check it very well, that country encourages criminal activities.

Ban all Nigerians from America today, their crime rate wouldn't decrease, it might even increase.

Regarding the resumption, I will still maintain the position I held around two months ago. Carry on with whatever you are doing, that border is not opening this year. Why? Because is it the only sensible thing for America to do. A country that can't even restart their sporting activities... you really think they r going to throw the doors open? Even schools in Nigeria are not opening soon. Corona messed up my plans too, but God dey.

You can! the GPA should increase after WES evaluation.

Zeezu3104:
Please I want to know if someone who graduated with 2.35 CGPA can apply for masters in political science your response will be appreciated thanks.

Because I am usually moved to provide direction to those who may need it, I will take back that part of my comment where I said I'll not reply you again. I could see you have no clue what to do with the "lots of time on your hands." Why not use it to get some exposure? Why not use it to read about the category of visa that was banned? I see you don't have a clue as to which is!

Also, take out time to read about the danger of overlooking ills in the midst of goods. What happen when negative activities are overlooked in a society simply because of the many people that are doing well? Use google to research that! You may also want to learn how to do constructive arguement, as you lack that in all your comments under my posts. As for your internship, take some time too to read more about what you will be working on. I am sure you are not yet an expert in your field. Would you also invest some of those lots of time on your hands to learn more, dig deeper? Remember, you are supposed to understand in and out of that field?

These are some of the things you should invest your time on. Thinking you can tackle me is like trying to smolder the Sun; you don't want to burn your hands and have ashes on your face! Enjoy your time!
Now, I re-issue that statement: I will not reply you again.

pompeiimagnus:
I basically have lots of time on my hands to counter whatever you say because my virtual internship is still a few weeks away. The positive ones you mentioned know what is right and will follow the law while they are here. So when you try to discourage them with irrelevant news about "Nigerians staying back and committing cybercrimes" I will keep tackling you.

What are you against exactly? that my post discouraged cyber crime? or that I mentioned it in my post? The negative side of things should not be overlooked. But I think you have issue with that anyway. I also know young Nigerians that are doing very well, pulling off feats, helping their schools, lecturing, etc. If it is the idea of talking about the ones committing crimes (or you personally have issue with that), I will talk about it when I feel like as long as I know that someone will see it and take caution.

I think you have issue!

"Don't talk about the negativity." This is exactly the view that destroys the positive ones. Because as you overlook the damage done by the negative ones, it spreads and overtake the good ones. But you know what? We are not on the same page in experience and exposure, so kindly avoid my future post. And I will not reply you again.

pompeiimagnus:
Baba, you are in no position to predict what future policies will be, so stick to what you are very good at which is coaching applicants for visa interviews. You basically have no case. Why not compare what you just posted with the large number of Nigerians doing very well in their careers here?

Everyone on a student visa tries to follow the law, the problem has always been folks committing crimes on immigrant visas or tourist visas who decide to overstay. That is why the US government placed that ban until our Ministry of Foreign Affairs meets the information sharing requirements they have asked for.

US may someday become a country that pick up/chase out international students back to their home country (especially with the rate of young Nigerians staying back in the US and engaging in cyber crimes against American people and businesses).

One of the things I always try to do on Nairaland is say what I mean and mean what I say. Look at the sentences above. I said the government may make policies that will force students to go back to their home countries after studies. I said "especially with the rate of young Nigerians staying back in the US and engaging in cyber crimes." Note that "young Nigerians" both include and exclude students who went to school, studied and graduated, and those who got their F1 but never went to school but instead hustle. You cannot take "young Nigerians" in this context to include only students who went to school and graduated. You certainly didn't read me well. This is point 1.

2, you asked for a source right? Last year, the FBI arrested over 80 people in the US for one of the largest web of cyber crimes in the US history. 77 of these people are Nigerians, mostly young people in their 20s and 30s. If you dig deeper, you'd see that most of them went for studies, went to school, or didn't go at all (but there are those they filed for, too).
Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/08/charges-80-people-nigerians-46m-internet-scam-190823071850782.html

From personal experience now. A friend called me 4 days ago. He was following this thread. He told me that FBI arrested the boyfriend of their apartment cook, a Nigerian youth on F1. He was tracked and picked up at the store he was working as cashier. He was arrested for cyber crime. He's been sent to 30 years in jail; this is a very fresh case. In 2016, a guy was deported from the US because he was engaged in runs while on active F1 visa. If I should begin listing instances one friend or the other, or someone they know was caught in the act, everything will feel very negative to you.

So I wrote in this context. When the FBI is arresting young Nigerians in the US for cyber crimes, you can tell that this is not good for the future of potential young Nigerians that will want to travel to the US. As long as some of these guys moved in with F1 visa, it is bad for the future of prospective applicants that will want to travel to the US in the future. These are occurrences that force politicians to review policies.
Same with the ban that was placed on K1 visa. You think the US government just woke up on night and said, "Look, we don't want Nigerians to have our K1 visa anymore," no! Some people said Nigeria was added because Trump is a racist. Lies! They have their fact, gathered over long period of time that was used as key instrument in issuing that ban. They are asking keeping record of those cyber crimes!

When one tree falls, its ripples are felt in the forest. Na small, small bad things dey spoil big and good stuff.

pompeiimagnus:
Baba, remember we are discussing Nigerian students in the US whom you advise to have a plan B due to immigration policies. So please let us know of such news where students stay back and engage in cybercrimes. See your statement sha.

...

Good Lord! Where are you in the US? You did not hear of young Nigerians arrested, sentenced for cyber crimes last year? The year before nko? Or you are not reading the news at all? It is too obvious to be sharing a link to a well-known fact with you. Even people in Nigeria knows.

pompeiimagnus:
Baba it was for a reason that I specifically highlighted the part where you said "staying back and engaging in cybercrimes". You made your point about policies, but for cybercrimes please show us where you got that information.

That is not how it works. The DSFORM can be filled within a week, two. It can be in the NIV database for upto 1 year. By bit by bit, I was talking to students who may not have all the information at the moment, but need to start anyway. And since there's uncertainty around embassy resumption, there is no need to fill it all at once when you can take your time.

DreManuel:
If my memory doesn't fail me, the DS-160 form is completed like any other form.

I would try to complete the application in one sitting if I can. If I'd do it bit by bit then I'd also ensure that I have my Confirmation Number saved or written somewhere in case the system locks me out due to inactivity.

This is a good development. Hopefully, things will keep going like this.
Thanks!

Northeastern:
Anecdotal information. All the folks that I know with application dates of March 12 or earlier and a start date of June 1st have received their cards in the mail.

I know guys with the same timeline that waited till July to get their cards last year . Also, most folks were of the view that the delay of last year was the worst in recent years.

Here is the link: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/
Let me know if you understand how it works

vc1177:
Please, how does one start filling the DS-160 form, bit by bit, after getting his/her I-20?
Thanks.

Read to understand objectively! That is the first step towards understanding others. There's no where I said young Nigerians are not resourceful in the U.S. I said they may be told to return home after studies, and that will largely be because of policies and other factors. You should go back to that post and read again!

pompeiimagnus:
Please this is not true. Many young Nigerians here are very resourceful people.

Subsequent to my former post, you can just secure your I-20 ahead (obtain a soft copy for now), start filling your DS-160 bit by bit, prepare your interview transcript--all done under a huge blanket of HOPE.

But don't pay the visa fee and SEVIS yet. If your passport has expired, renew it now. Don't put off those prerequisites to the interview, except for payment of sevis and visa fee (GTB won't take visa fee from anyone now self).

I have a few students in my DM asking if they should defer. DO NOT defer yet! I advice that you wait till August 10 (based on my calculation) before you defer. By then you'd have known that Fall 2020 is no-no.

If you have a GA and your school is among those universities putting all courses online, you may be required to start your program from Nigeria online. I even have information that some GA works will will be conducted from remote locations. University of North Carolina at Charlotte, for example, is trying to conduct some of its Master's programs 100% online. It may be possible to retain your GA role. Will they pay you? To which account? These are some of the questions I have been asked...

Well, from experience, nobody knows. But consider the possibility of taking your courses online in case your school go with that. Will you do online course? I know it is not lively and interactive as face-to-face in a four-walled classroom.

Well, all the best!

I think the US embassy will open in June (I strongly sense this happening). So, if you are going for fall, July and August (with use of extension letter, which I believe will be easily issued to students this time) may be available for interview. Also, I do not see crowd at the embassy when it open. With other visa category put off, 2 months will be adequate to interview all potential F1 students in Nigeria.

So, do not sit on the fence and conclude yet that there can't be interview this fall. Prepare yourself... you know not when the matter of the house will return. Prepare

I wouldn't call them naysayers. We all don't see things the same way. There are people who chose not to process US admission chiefly because of Trump, and I don't blame them. His policies, views, and administrative direction shakes people differently. And studying abroad is not always about migration.

I think OPT will remain intact, but getting a job and being filed for by a potential employer will depend on WHO you are to such organization, the cost of filing for you, and the policies in place. If the unemployment keeps roaring and the pandemic isn't abated before the end of year 2020, you should have a plan B as H1B approval will be very small (Can you provide a link to see where you get the bolded from?).

Whatever happens, US may someday become a country that pick up/chase out international students back to their home country (especially with the rate of young Nigerians staying back in the US and engaging in cyber crimes against American people and businesses). But this too will depend on the policies in place and how smart you are. But we have always have exceptions, you know? I'll advice anyone reading this to stand out academically and professionally. That's where the exceptions are.

Northeastern:
Don’t mind all those nay sayers. So, someone that got a full ride should not take it because one confused man is president. Guys can always go to Canada post graduation.

Americans wey no like school and work especially for STEM fields. The US economy is the one that would suffer if the opt/h1b chain is broken.

Some guys come here and become residents through marriage, so for them, all bets should be off because of one draft dodger and speculative policies. In case you guys don’t know, this year’s OPT applications are being treated faster than last year’s.

No! It has never been easier. F1 will likely be the common type of visa the embassy will issue when it resume. I don't see people getting b1/b2 easily unless it is strictly for business purpose and other exceptional case. But when will the embassy open? No one knows!

uche06:
Please would visas be easier to get now than before

You really found a jackpot. Now, it is obvious she's the type of woman any sensible man would want. When a woman is rich and she is still humble and matured, I say that's divine.

EVILFOREST:
Thank You so much.
My WIFE is a TRADITIONAL person.
She likes African Villages and Masquerade dances.
And she likes investment so much.
She is not a SLAY QUEEN at all.
KIDS visit Nigeria almost every year.

Where did you get these info from ? Using unthinkable in the context the bolded were written is shocking. Please get your facts right.

Minxie:
1. google it. there are so many examples and incidences of oppression.
2. societal norms change all the time.
+100 years ago it was unthinkable that a black person could even walk in the same street as a white person.
+100 years ago it was unthinkable that a woman could wear pants.
+100 years ago it was unthinkable that people could stop worshipping pagan Gods.

See how society changes? It's fine, nobody is pressuring you to be an advocate for human rights. Just know that society is changing with or without you. There are more people who want the change. After all, norms are determined by the majority. Sorry guy

You sounded like the wife! How did you know all these?

Mstick:
He cheated on her, she has every DAMN RIGHT to leave the marriage. Because he took her to Canada doesn't give him the right to hurt her.

One of the best comment on this thread. Kudos bro!

Nuel4:
so you actually believe your mom wasn't treated as a human by your father? Lol
Look, the problem is that you people scream too much about things you know little to nothing about

Hi guys, I trust you're all keeping safe!

Contact ECE, register and follow instruction provided online. You'll mostly need a WAEC scratchcard and WAEC registration details.

ndindiatu:
Please help me with advice. I am in community college in
USA and they are asking me for my high school transcript through Ece . I have my waec. How do I go about this?

Yes, that is fine.

vc1177:
Good evening Everyone. Please, is it possible to book an appointment for visa, for a 5-year course starting in 2020 hopefully, with a passport that will expire in 2023?

It is not a problem. Move on with the application, or contact your department or graduate office about it.

mikeayus:
Hello guys...good evening, I submitted application for ms business Intelligence and analytics to Stevens institute of technology and shortly after..I discovered they waived letters of recommendation for me on the portal. I just submitted an application to Rowan university today and they too have just waived one letter of recommendation on my application portal. I'm beginning to wonder why this and if anybody has experienced such here...my experienced ogas in the house..pls shed some light. Thanks

I am glad you find it helpful. All the best!

Marchenry:
Thank you so much for this information, will be really helpful moving forward for me �

The questions you asked cannot be fully answered by another person. For your sister to know what is required for a master's admission, she will need to first decide which program she wants to study. Program of choice determines the requirement for admission. She may need to write GRE, evaluate her academic transcript (not required by every school), etc. My advice is that, read some of my posts on thread 14 and 15, the current one. Use Google to search for schools, and visit each school you see to determine their requirement for admission and full funding GA. If you have a specific question, ask.

onicemus1:
hi everyone.. just a quick inquiry. what's the requirement for a Nigerian student wanting to get her masters in the states? also what exams does she need to take to get a scholarship - full tuition and all of that covered? asking for my sister..

You can, yes!

dchekzy:
Hello guys,
Please how long will it mostly likely to to process students visa for the USA. I have a school that I just applied to, the masters program start in August and I expect my admission letter to be out around first week of May. Can I be able to process my students visa in 3 months?
