Sorry bro, I thought you could actually help his ministry but he sounded vague. He said he needed the phone money for School Application fees and i know you have been of help to folgks that needed suggestions in that regards.

Not a problem. Hope you are good.

pimper24:

You can get waivers. Look for Fairheart on NL.

Why recommend me for this?

mrdharkchild:

Fairheart..
Waivers...
I can't bet my time on that.
Trust me, nobody knows how complex a shell is, till he looks in.
Or how complex a human is, till je/she displays character (an adage)

Yes, don't bet your time on this. Nobody will guarantee you that you will get a waiver to apply to 6 schools. If it is undergraduate admission, you may get something, otherwise, it is not sure at all.
And by the way, your adage doesn't apply to me. I don't know you and you don't know me.
All the best!

REQUESTING FOR EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT:

If you can't find a suitable date and you need to request for emergency appointment, the follow steps must be followed for your request to be approved.

You can only request for emergency appointment within 60 days to your program start date. Your program start date is written on your I-20. Check it and know what date it is.

1, Pay your visa fee at GTB. Login to the CGI site here: https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?country=Nigeria
Fill in your details and put the reference number on your visa fee receipt. Proceed and book any appointment date you see on the site, even if it is December 2021 or 2022. Just book.

If you book this date and you are not within the 60 days of your program start date, relax and check your CGI profile every day in case earlier and suitable dates are released. However, if no suitable dates and you are within the 60-day period, proceed and click request for emergency on your dashboard.

2. Once you book, the option for "emergency appointment" will show on the left pane menu. Note this. Click on the emergency appointment, which will take you to another page with form to fill. Pick a tentative travel date (date you wish to arrive the US).

3. You must have paid your SEVIS fee and have the PDF confirmation receipt. You must have a scanned copy of your I-20.

4. In the first section of the form, click academic or student. Then compose a short message as to why you need emergency appointment. State your program start date as on I-20 in the message you compose. Indicate the tentative traveling plan you filled in your ds160.

5. Attach your I-20 and SEVIS. Then submit.

If approved, you will be notified through email to go and pick an earlier date on your CGI profile. If refused, you're on your own!
Note that if your emergency appointment was approved and you are notified but you did not go to your profile to pick the dates released for you in time, the date can become unavailable. So it is important to act timely.

I take the pain and time to write this because I don't want anybody here to contact me on how to do it. Now, you have the step-by-step information.
All the best!

Ikenna04:
but sir the amount my sponsor is bringing is about $34000. So if I carry my dad's own which is not close to that will it matter.
PS I have a scholarship and my sponsors Name is not on the i20

Well, if your Dad will co-sponsor, carry his statement as well. Prepare for your interview. All the best.

drjustice17:
I'm going for masters in Public health, in US and my sponsor is via my LGA. Through scholarship,
It covers tuition fees, housing, books and monthly stipends. What documents do I need to present to Embassy . thanks

Ask the local government to provide a sponsor letter, written that they will pay the deficit and that you will not become a public burden.
You should also get a bank statement from the local government as this is the preferred sponsor document the U.S embassy like to see.
However, with the assistantship, if you prepare for your interview very well, your sponsor statement might not be checked---based on experiences on and off here. But make sure you get a statement from the LGA and provide a genuine reason why they are paying the deficit.

All the best.

Amat04:
For clarity please,

My start date is in August, and I was able to schedule an appointment for Ocotober.

Should I expedite now (because I'm hoping to fix my interview date for June ending, or I have to wait till that June ending to expedite?

Kindly do justice to this.

Thanks!

You cannot request for emergency appointment now, or it will be denied and you will be forced to wait for earlier dates when they release them.
Emergency appointment can only be approved if it is requested within 60 days of your program start date. That is, if your program is starting on August 20th, for example, you can only request for emergency from June 19th. It must be within 60 days of program start date--as stated on your i-20.
You must have paid your SEVIS as well. If you can't find any date at the moment, wait for new dates to be released. If new dates did not show and you're within 60 days to your program start date, then you can request for emergency appointment.

James241:
Please sir, can I change the sponsor name i used to received my I'20 to another name when filling ds160 Because am having issue with the sponsor. Hope it will not be a problem for me

Provided your sponsor name is not written on the I-20, sure, you can use the new sponsor.
If sponsor name is written on the I-20, I advise you to send the new sponsor statement to the school and ask that sponsor be changed to the new one and new i-20 issued.

This is based on what I know.
All the best!

ON EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT REQUEST.

Please do not request for emergency appointment if you were unable to get suitable date for your program start date. The U.S embassy will not approve expedient request that is outside the stated 60-days to program start date. According to the U.S website, emergency appointment will only be approved if requested within the 60 days of your course/program start date as stated on your i-20.

In addition, you must have paid your SEVIS fee, schedule any available date and start your DSFORM if you are requesting within the given period.
I am sharing this as some students are denied emergency request. Don't waste the chances to get a better date. It is not the time to request for emergency. Relax.

More dates will be released for Lagos Consulate and Abuja embassy. Keep checking your CGI account, and if you see new dates, screenshot it and post on this thread so that others can benefit. Do not pay any agent to look for date for you; new dates will be released and you will be able to book by yourself.

A side note:
Remember the rule for a successful interview. Be confident, speak up and be heard and make sure you flow. Create no unnecessary story in your response to the consular questions. Be on point, straightforward, maintain eyes contact. Also, listen carefully when the VO is about to ask you a question. You may need to lean towards the tiny speaker on the right side of the counter window.

F-1 INTERVIEW DOCUMENT CHECKLIST
Make sure you have all the basic and required documents with you
1, SEVIS fee payment confirmation receipt
2, GTB visa fee receipt
3, I-20 (signed)
4, DS-160 confirmation printout showing your passport photograph as uploaded.
5, VERY IMPORTANT: Interview Appointment Confirmation printout showing the same DS-160 ID Number on your DS160 Confirmation (If you mix this number up, you will not be interviewed, and you will have to fill a new dsform and potentially book for another appointment).
6, 1-2 passport photograph of the same you uploaded online on your DS160 application.
7, Scholarship letter or funding appointment letter (if there’s any).
8, Sponsor official bank statement, signed and stamped, showing more than the total cost of attendance in Naira or in USD or other currency available.

All the best for fall 2021 hopefuls.

Malone122:
hello to you once again sir
Quick question please
If a visa interview date is booked already and one requests for an emergency date and it’s denied
Would he lose his initial booked date ?

No, the initial date will remain and you can prepare for interview for it.
Emergency appointment is only approved if you request it when your program is starting within the next 60 days. So if you asked for emergency and it was denied, it is because you requested for it early.

Ikjosh04:
Good day all, I'm actually depressed cause I think the choices I've made for the past 1 year are not yielding the results they're meant to which ordinarily is beyond my control.

I'm a 2019 chemical engineering graduate and finished nysc Feb 2021.

I started my admission and visa application to study Msc Engineering Management in Australia during my nysc.

I've spent over $15k for my tution deposit and health insurance, visa granted and I was supposed to resume my Msc Feb 2021(few days after nysc) pop.

I planned everything this way so I won't be in this kind of situation I find myself presently.

Australia boarder has been closed for more than a year now, so I had to defer my admission to July intake but with all the news and happenings in Australia, that country is so indecisive and not looking to open her boarders any time.

Her health minister and ScottMo has been forecasting Feb 2022 is the best time to open Australia boarder and honestly, everything is just pissing me off about that country at the moment.

Please I'll like the Elder's in the house @fairheart and others to guide me.

I want to know if I can get full/partial funding to study Msc Engineering Management or Business Analytics in any USA university. I have a flair for professional business inclined courses and not academic research courses.

If it's possible, I'll like to know the GRE, PTE and any other exam pass mark score I need to get to enable me get the funding with list of universities that might be offering funding for the courses I listed above.

I want to put things in order and apply for my visa for the early next year intake.

Meanwhile, I'll defer my admission for July 2021 to Feb 2022 if the Australia boarder is still closed for international students and as soon as I get funding in any Usa university, I'll request for my tution fee back from my Australia uni though my Indian friends have been complaining Australia uni are refusing or delaying to refund.

Also, I'll like to know the best path way for international students to get residency and citizenship in the USA after completing a postgraduate program from your experience and knowledge.

N.b., I'll take time to go through the thread to learn from others.

The issue is outside your control. Relax. Do not leave what you started and successfully finish because of minor obstacle, which is outside your control at the moment. Take your time to learn something related to your program of study while you wait for Australia to open its border. Australia will open its border and your visa will be extended if required and necessary.

It is better to go to Australia than to the U.S, as there's no easy path to residency in the U.S except you marry a U.S citizen and get a competitive H1B. There is no easy path at all. But if you want this, then you can consider it, but I advise you against making this decision now. It is easier to become a resident in Australia than in the U.S.

To Dos.
1. Communicates to the school what is happening concerning border closure and let them know you cannot come in now, that since the border is closed you will need to defer and come in later.
2. Consider what you can do to improve yourself while the border remain closed. The delay is a huge opportunity you should explore to prepare for what lies ahead. Read more, explore courses you are likely going to study in Australia, etc.
3. Learn to be patient, because sometimes life require it; and sometimes, it is good for our journey. Please be patient and stop bothering and frustrating yourself.
4. Consider writing to the Australian embassy and communicate your concern to them. I am sure they will likely respond and give you some form of assurance or support you may need.

The opportunity you have right now is not available to several other people somewhere out there. Please keep calm and use the wait to improve yourself.

I am confident that Australia will not wait till 2022 before its border is open to the world. I project that the border will open before October or December. Keep good faith and enjoy your waiting period.

This is my advise for you. If you have more question, you can ask.

I can imagine how you feel. I am sorry!
This is a deep story. Goodness, a man who couldn't control himself just messed up the lady's childhood.

Lovethaa:
Have been friends with a babe at my workplace and from her frequent visit to my office plus the way she calls me to check on me . you could easily tell that she likes me .

One thing led to another and we ended up kissing , after the kiss I told her to tell me about her past relationships plus her sexual life .

She opened up to me that she was introduced to sex at 8years old by one neighbor uncle ,
she told me how the uncle take her to his room and ask her to play with his Prick and sometimes would make her suck it ,she claim she couldn't tell her mom because she will beat her mercilessly

She said she officially started having sex at 10 ,she disclosed that she had done 4 abortions so far although the abortions were for the same guy . mind you she is just 24 years old

She claimed she's telling me all this because she loves me and wants to be honest with me .

But hearing all that I was weak.. this babe is from a wealthy family , she travels to yankee like someone going to a neighboring state plus she is an MSC Holder , unknown to her I have decided that I would marry her because she's educated and wealthy family is like a bonus but now she actually disgust me and I wish she didn't tell me all that ..

Ladies are doing shit behind forget all that pretty gentle face.. if I was to judge with the face I could have bet with my life that this babe was a virgin or atleast not that experienced in sex ...


and pls ladies if you have such dirty past ,I think u should keep it to yourself...



I'm just lost for words , wish I could unhear everything

The saying should be...Get yourself a good girl, then bring out her wild side..

Every human has their wild side but majority don’t display it out - except for hoes and prostitute and they simply do that cuz they want to market what they sellin..

Just get yourself a good girl and turn her to your naughty girl...For a guy to be able to do this, he himself must be naughty&wild..

I will try
Thanks

BaeMercy:
A woman who is bad for one not for the street

I think you mean, a woman who is sexually romantic but will ONLY be like this for the man in her life.
She's down to earth, sexually exploratory, standing by the man and is principled in her approach to relationship.
Thanks.

BaeMercy:
Men love civilised ladies
Let's put it that way, OK?

Men don't like bad girls, men like naughty girls
No man will see a bad woman and marry her unless he wants to ruin his life

People do say bad girls marry faster than good girls
Ask why do marriages don't last this days like those days? because the bad girls are the ones who marry faster
You can't turn a bitch to a wife
A bad girl is there for the gain and when you can't provide anymore she goes back to the street then you men come online to cry that women are wicked
you better open your eyes and marry a naughty smart woman
Don't because of sex ruin your life
Ones an Olosho never retire
Marry such women, travel your mind won't be at rest because na sex dey run that kind of women
Be Wise!

You are sensible and right. Sounds like a thoughtful lady.
Can you clarify on the bold line? Can you define this type of a woman? What is she like?
How do you identify one? I am willing to learn

Miscellaneous:
A nigerian company has agreed to pay the deficit in my i20. Will this pass the embassy?

It can pass. But questions like these might be asked:
What is your relationship with this company?
Why is it paying the deficit?
How long have you been working there?

From shared experience of applicants on and off this thread, it seems the consular want to be sure there's established relationship with you and the company and that you have been with them for a while. Just last week, a student used his company statement of account and was bounced. He told me the consular asked why is the company sponsoring him? What is his position, and how long has he been working with the company. He said he has been there as a IT engineer for 1 year. That ends it; he was refused.

If your deficit is low, you will likely get your visa. Make sure you have letter stating the reason you qualify to be sponsored, and what the company aim to get from that. Tailor your response to what will this degree do for you and what is your plan after graduation around you and the company.
I want to believe a company will not sponsor you except there's a plan to return to keep working there after graduation.

All the best.

hi house,
can you kindly give ideas about Universities/states where a Nigerian can apply to with HND certificate?
Pls guys reply me.
@justwisee @NigPatriot @Predstan @Malone122 @meritdee @fairheart @bukkymbo

Almost every University in the U.S will accept you with HND.
To be able to get into virtually all universities, evaluate your academic transcript with WES and ECE. This will give you access to every potential universities.

OND +HND is not inferior to a single BSC. You can apply to any school students with BSC can apply to.
All the best!

No TOEfl yet...
Little grad internship.
Am considering MS/PhD in Industrial Engineering...

Also am looking forward to Fall 2022...
So guys any input will be highly appreciated.

Cc lagosismyhome, Time2win, Twoods, Walspring, fairheart, bigfrancis21.....anyone

While you can take the GRE test again, I have seen students with less score admitted with funding for MS and PhD.
Considering the term you wish to apply, you have enough time to explore schools that will offer you assistantship--either with your current GPA and GRE score or better score. Do the school search first as that will help you determine what if your profile is fit. Once you have a list of potential schools, for example, 10 universities in states you like their weather, etc, you can take it from there.
All the best!

Tulacious123:
Good evening Mr fairheart . I got admitted into Georgia State University ,(MSc Public Policy) for fall 2021 session. I am currently applying for a fellowship application which comes with lots of benefits.They requested for a writing sample alongside other documents.What I don’t understand is if it’s a fellowship application or a past research work.

Writing sample is anything you have written during undergraduate coursework. Essays, papers, research work, etc. If you don't have any of these, select a topic of interest and that you know you know its core and write something nice about it. Also, look at the fellowship application requirements as guide to what you're to submit.

Hello Mr Fairheart. Please I want to kindly request for your email address.. kindly provide as I want to make some enquiries. Look forward to your positive response

I just replied.

presiade:


I meant every single word I typed in my initial post. It's a case of a typical Nigerian denying the things they do in the closet-- hypocrisy. I have proofs. Just cover yourself and don't say any further on this... Else, you will be surprised. You know yourself.

I HAVE NEVER ASKED ANYONE TO PAY ME TO LOOK FOR INTERVIEW DATE FOR THEM!
Please, can you tell me when I told you to pay me to look for interview date for you? Because I don't even know how these agents manage to get dates for potential visa applicants when others are complaining they can't see the date. If you talk about me referring you to someone who one or two students have told have me had helped them to get a date, I would not doubt you as some of my students have used outside help to get their interview dates even before they reached out to me for one help or the other. I don't book date for people and I have never been paid to book a date for anyone, to the best if my knowledge.

Additionally, If you say I ask my students to pay me for my time to prepare them for interview when I am busy and they needed assistance in tailoring their response to interview questions, mock, evaluating their application, writing SOP, , or seeking professional guidance for better admission and funding, yes I would clearly agree. And I never hide that; I made it known to the students when they come to my DM during busy hours that my time is managed and has price tag if I am asking for more than I have done on this forum. And I have done a lot to several students off and on Nairaland, for free. The way you frame your initial post, you made it seem like I have scammed you or heard that I scammed someone here. When?

Anyone who alleged that I personally ask them to pay me to look for date for them, is lying against my benevolent gesture to see students get their visas and study in the U.S. I don't book interview date for people. I don't work at the embassy, so how on earth would I ask people to pay me to get them an invisible interview date?
If we have exchanged messages in the past and you were offended, state my offense to me or send me a message to clear myself...it is understandable. Mentioning my moniker as though I have scammed you, when in fact I cannot remember interacting with you, is sad. Thank you

presiade:
I hope it's not that fairheart of a guy; be careful, in fact, don't try it.

Fairheart what? I hope you have prove for whatsoever wrong you assumed I have done to you or anyone here?
I have never booked appointment for anyone from this thread or outside of it, let alone talking about taking money to look for date.
You need to be careful of any allegation you place on people you don't know, so you'd not bring damnation on yourself.
Even in the group I conduct mock for students, I always tell them not to pay to schedule appointment because you can always find date and in a situation there's no date, you can use emergency appointment.

Please clear my name from what you posted here.

There is this scenario that I need our input, or experience especially people in the state.

It is not a problem. I know married couple studying in the same university in Tennessee.

osadestiny:
Please can we all contribute to this please I think someone had something similar to this last two years on this thread , I received my i-20 for the fall semester yesterday and this was what I was seeing in the i-20, at the left hand side tuition fees and living expenses altogether is $22,300 , at the right hand side of the i-20 students funding for 9 months, personal funds $0 , funds coming from the school $0, Father $55,000 because father was used as the sponsor. This actually means that the school calculated the SOA of my father and then put $55,000 there, please aren't you seeing this as a problem and that this might confuse the VO, since the amount in both sides are different? Please anyone with similar experience or that have idea of what I am talking about can contribute. Oga @fairheart and Co please what is your take on this. Screenshot photo below to see what I'm saying.

Well, I believe it will not confuse the VO. The money documented in the sponsor section is the total amount in your sponsor statement, I believe?
This is not a problem, provided the amount on the statement you will take to the US embassy will still be this high, or close to it.
However, you can contact the school and tell them to only indicate what sponsor is expected to provide towards your studies. I have seen this case before and we did was that, school was contacted to put exactly what's required from sponsor on the sponsor section, instead of the entire amount in the account. The reason I suggested this was that, sponsor account balance was not always stable. Supposed the amount in the statement to be taken to embassy dropped by $20K due to business or investment and the VO at the embassy calculated it and compare with what is on the i-20, it may be a problem (this will depend on the VO you meet). Of course, your sponsor must have money greater than the cost of attendance by the time you appear for the interview, but do contact your school and ask if they can adjust. If they say no, then it is fine.
All the best!

Upton:
Hey folks, I applied to just Missouri State University in the US for my masters because I already have an immigrant visa to a country close to the US. However, I am very interested in the masters program at Missouri State University and I intend to apply for an F-1 visa. Please will I still be required to show strong ties to Nigeria or it has to be the country of which I have its immigrant visa? considering that I am still in Nigeria and will be applying for the US visa from Nigeria.

Note there is no funding from Missouri state University and deficit is approximately 24,000 USD per year.

What are my chances of getting an F-1 visa? Since holding an immigrant visa to another country implies that I won't be returning to Nigeria.

No, having an immigrant visa for another country wouldn't influence VO decision (my opinion) especially since you are applying from your home country. However, it is important to prepare strong response as to why you want the master's in the US and not in a country in North America (I assume the country you hold its immigrant visa is in North America) where you can comfortably study. Plan to explain what you have been doing there, plan after graduation. Will you be returning to Nigeria or that country? If the former, to do what? Preparation is key. Let's also hope you're able to convince the VO you meets.
