Can someone please tell me why this? I am trying to search for date but this is what it has been showing me.

You will have to wait for them to approve you to be able to search for date. No way around it. They will send you an email. It takes 72hrs or more most times

Hey All,

I hope I can get assistance here.
I got my Bachelors in Comp Science in India.
MS in Economics (Digital Marketing) in Poland.
Currently working as IT Service Desk Analyst for an MSP.
I would love to attend certificate course (20 Months) at Texas State Technical College.
Estimated cost 17K.

Is this ideal or do I just apply for MS in Information Technology?

At the moment, I live with my wife and 2 kids in Europe.

Do not go for a certificate course except you intend to return to Poland. I would advise you go for an MS IT program instead. You have better access to opportunities here with an MS.

Also, why are you going to a technical college? Why not search for a better university in the US. Why do you want to spend such amount in a community college. You have a Bachelors and a masters degree, so why are you wanting to attend a community college? This is a huge red flag for visa denial

chaiks:
At the same time, do mpower fund all programs?

Their website has all the information you need

Just got admitted to SDSU. They are offering me 3500 USD scholarship, masters research fund amounting to 10k USD annually, nomination for presidential scholarship which would provide a non-resident tuition waiver for five semesters and then possibilities of other work appointments. I am now in the process of sending my official transcripts. What should I do guys?

Can you afford the deficit?

Phraser:
Hello guys. I have just been awarded a scholarship to study at New York University, to begin studies this fall. But here is the rub: the scholarship only covers 2 out of 3 semesters.

I have plans for taking care of accomodation, but my problem is this: How to pay for the third semester when the time comes (fall next year), and how to prove to the embassy that I can pay for the third semester. I can't even use my bank statement because I am not earning enough in naira. What can I do?

I would appreciate if you guys could walk me through this. Thanks.

You can look for a sponsor in Nigeria that can issue you a bank statement. You still need to provide proof of funds

Omoh yesterday I prepared a delicious egusi soup, garnished with chicken breast, pomo, goat meat, titus fish, dry fish and okporoko (stock fish)--in addition to other essential ingredients like spicy (knorr and star), pumpkin leaf, etc etc.

Had a go at it yesterday evening and it was really good
Then I warmed it like around 11:00pm.

This morning, I warmed it like around 8:00 am; I would have frozen it in my freezer but I was expecting a fellow friend who'd told me he would be coming around so I didn't see the need for freezing it yet.

Now, this evening, I just remembered it when it was already 9:50pm--that's the thing sometimes with remote work; one could get engrossed in it sometimes especially if it's my kind that has to do with coding/programming and code analysis.
I just totally forgot

By the time I got to the soup, I saw it was almost starting to "foam", and I quickly put it on fire. After warming, it doesn't have the fresh taste it had anymore. Tastes a LITTLE bit sour and lacking flavour

Has anyone experienced this? What did you do to the soup (or what can be done)? Food experts.

Mods...

send me your account number and I’ll pay for you to cook another before you poison yourself

I would not advise anyone to go embassy using Mpower loan as proof of funds. Likely to be get denied easily.

Look for a sponsor in Nigeria.

LegendHero:
I disagree.

Nnamdi Kanu should be tied to the back of a lorry and dragged all around Abuja before finally executing him on live TV.

Terrorists only deserve one thing and that is cruel death!

Igboho Oosa should not meddle into the affairs of terrorists.

Irritant peasants are not hard to spot.

Goddy001:
What of visa approval

2% chance

Goddy001:
Good morning all,

Someone should help me out,
Please 🙏 is anyone here on MPOWER FINANCING ?

What is the approval rate using MPOWER FINANCING?

Thanks

IT is high if you have never defaulted on a loan before

Buy the dip. It would go back up

Momoney77:
Are there schools in USA that accept student copy of transcript, or it must be verified by WES. Am trying to cut cost, don't know how much WES charges for transcripts now.

Google is always your friend

olaoye15:
Honestly, i can't believe the kind of human being we have the USA visa appoitment page. They arw superfast. You see a date that you think is fine, before one picks it, they already did. Does anynone have a startegy bear theae people that have made built duplex in the USA visa appointment page?

Again, i am looking at cancelling my existing DS160 and fill another form, can i use my current appoitment schedule with the DS160 i am about to fill?

I will looking to getting a feedback

Thanks.

Yes you can. When you fill a new DS160 form, all you need to do it to go to your appointment booking and go to update profile, there you can erase the old DS160 code and input the new one. Save and make sure you print a new appointment confirmation.

Also, you can edit an already submitted DS160, although you’ll get a new code, but most of the information you filled will still be there for you to edit.

When you’re on the DS 160 page, Use the retrieve application and enter the ds160 application code. It will ask you for the first 5 letters of your surname, your year of birth and the answer to your secret question.

A pop up will appear on your screen (print confirmation and create new application), click create new application.

Anytime you’re filling a ds160 form, always take a picture of the code cos the website times out a lot

Anyone here apply to ETSU for MS chemistry?

Momoney77:
Good morning all,...
I had My WAEC in 2006, my Bsc in 2011. Am confused about either to go for a Masters or another degree I don't know where i stand more chance.

I was denied my first attempt in 2016.

Suggestions from the house would help, thank you

Go for a masters degree.

Zihno:
I heard that Utah state is revoking admission and scholarship packages of Nigerians due to fraudulent GRE test scores. Any information?

They should revoke and ban them for life across all school system.

They are writing GRE for people in absentia.

Humblemax:
Good evening everyone.
Please what are the chances of securing US Visa with Mpower loan?

Even if you’re taking Mpower loan, I will advise that you get a sponsor in Nigeria and not use it as your sponsorship.

The VO will reason that how can you pay back without you trying to work in the U.S. There is no way you can pay back such amount of money returning to Nigeria.

Damsel2024:
Kindly advice
My sister has a degree in chemistry , started working in the bank six years ago .Now she wants to apply for schools in the US.

Is it advisable to go for an MBA or apply for undergraduate nursing in a community college,as she intend to switch to nursing later on.

Will the undergraduate option favor her at the embassy?based on the work experience and school gap.

Or she should do MBA ,to prove hometies at the embassy

She should go for an MBA, when she gets here, she can decide her options.

MBA is her top chance at getting a visa.

Keyin:
Am already in US since two years. Just want my new spouse to join me but currently my documentation in the embassy still bears the name of my ex. That is why I am asking if I should write to the embassy with the divorce papers or move directly to retrieve my old ds 160 and change it without their consent (if it is possible bc I haven't tried retrieving ds 160 before)

document

You don’t need to send the document to the embassy. Fill a new DS160 for your new spouse. Make sure she takes the divorce certificate and your new marriage certificate to the embassy for her interview.

You do not need to send anything to embassy to edit.


I want to use this opportunity to plead that you make sure that divorce certificate is original. You will Jeopardize all that you have worked for here if they find any forged documents in the application. Nobody can remedy this for you not even a lawyer.

A lot of people are in deep shit here and they have their entire career ruined and have to leave the US because they submitted forged divorce certificate.

A lot of people claimed married and procured fake marriage certificate to prove home ties to get visa. When they get here and need to remarry or get green card benefit, they needed to divorce their spouse since they claimed married during their visa application. Most of them went and procured fake divorce certificate from Nigeria.


Also, know that they can verify any documents and they have Nigerians working for them and they have every means to verify any documents or marriage certificate.

Denvan:
Hello everyone, for the purpose of obtaining CPT/OPT, is Political Science degree considered part of STEM?

NO!

Nigerians elected a senile old druggie to run their country. The current hunger and suffering are needed to reset the brains of coward Nigerians.

I’ve always known Nigerians to be cowards and they are enjoying the sufferings that would last a lifetime

Osasalfred44:
Good day everyone, I was recently admitted with scholarship at case western, please does anyone here school there or know about student life in Ohio and getting a date?

It’s a good school.

Keyin:
Hi. My name is Mark. I got married in 2019, and the marriage didn't progress, and we finally went to our separate ways, although without court pronouncing the marriage dissolved. When I got admission two years ago, I was advised to still maintain M as marital status, and that made me retain my ex name in the DS 160 form (bc i haven'tremarriedas at then). Now, I have legally gotten a divorced certificate after high court dissolved the marriage, and I have remarried this year. My question is, am I supposed to write to the embassy attaching the certificate to notify them before retrieving my old ds 160 form or I can change it (i mean entering my new wife details) without their notice and hope it will not affect me or the chances of my new spouse getting visa


Thanks for your expected responses

Have you gotten a visa? Have you attended any interview? Are you in Nigeria?

Anyone here in Buffalo, NY? Any Nigerian there?

Losers.

You want to bail water out of a house with numerous leakages.

Naira will get to N3000 before May

Debbieeeeeee:
340 you mean because it’s already almost 295k

Damn really

US Embassy balling at the moment. Visa fee will most likely get to 240k soon.

bebeto2014:
I hope there is interview date in america embassy by june?

dangers of having a dolt as president. It sucks but it is what it is.

I don’t think it might be a concern because rarely would VO punch calculator to view the exchange rate against how much you have there.

They just go with a rough estimate. I think you should be fine. Half the time, they might not request for your POF.

What I would suggest you focus on is how to defend your reasons for wanting to go to the US.

Still going to be a disaster.

Naira would continue to tank. By May we should be at N3000

Debbieeeeeee:
This exchange rate has become a menace and it’ll make a lot of people with no means abandon their travel process. So unfair.

I would advice you wait till the end of March, then you would be in right category to get a date (not being denied in the last 6months)

linsa01:
Hi everyone,

I'm new here. I got a fully funded Ph.D admission at the University of Rochester. I'm at the stage of requesting for I-20, and apply for Visa. But the waiting time I checked on the US embassy website showed 134days. This is extremely late for me as my resumption date is August. In fact, I can't raise the visa and SEVIS fees until April ending. Pls, how do I go about this.

Also, do I need to secure accommodation in my school before filling out the i-160?

Lastly, must I have any specific amount in my account as PoF? I will also appreciate if I can join any US F1 visa group. Thank you for your anticipated responses

you don’t need you secure an accommodation before filing out your DS160. You can use the address in your I-20 (school official). People here have a way of searching for dates for visa interview appointment.

Request for your I-20, start filling your DS-160, pay your visa fee and start searching for date.

You can pay your Sevis fee 2 weeks to your interview. If your Sevis fee is paid through western Union, you’ll get a confirmation same day. So you don’t have to worry about it for now. Focus on getting your I-20, paying your visa fee and filling your ds160.

Note that you don’t have to complete your ds160 same day. You have 30 days to complete it. You only need the ds160 code to book your visa appointment.

For proof of funds, did you get any assistantship? If yes, a reasonable amount for your flight and accommodation should be fine. If no, then you’ll have to show more that you can fund your study.

JohnZak:
I do not think the OP qualifies for Advance Parole. He is in the US and is neither a DACA recipient nor has he filed for AOS, making the foundation for his application for AP questionable.

I agree with you that the OP has to really consider what he will do if his visa is denied before he travels to renew his visa.

He does qualify for Advance parole.
