Yes the hospital will ask you to pay your medical bills but in some counties, the bill can be shared if you don't make enough money. In NM when you don't make enough and can't pay your medical bill, there is a program they run to pay outstanding medical bills for citizen and non-citizen. Davidlan used to be an old member here. In 2012 when I have a medical bill to pay and was advised in the hospital to use this program, this is the message I wrote to him. I had medical insurance before and after this hospital visit but not at the time of visit. Also, I've heard of a kind of medicaid program for pregnant women that foreign students can use but can't remember the program precisely.

I though of cancel the interview or what should I do house I need your help on this matter.
If I were you, I will cancel the interview. You don't want to get banned for misrepresentation. I can infer that you are not married nor with kids. Explore other good ways to migrate which I assume you are planning to

Forget Canada lol. Come to the U.S. I don't know how you wanna migrate but don't you ever choose Canada over the U.S. o. At the same temperature and pressure, they don't have the same number of molecules. cheesy
You said he should forget canada and choose US, don't you think one is more feasible than the other? His best chance to MIGRATE is canada and not US as someone pointed out.

I'm using my sister's company SOA do I need to state that is the company sponsoring me or my sister?. Please house respond to this. Thanks
The company ofcourse. Whoever owns/whose name appears on the soa is the person sponsoring you. Stating that your sister is sponsoring you and you show up with her company SOA is contradicting. However its hard to sell why your sister’s company is sponsoring you.A personal SOA is better.

What's up beautiful people, please what's the level of being admitted if I have a very strong GPA without a GRE or GMAT?
If the school requires a gre or gmat, without it the chance of your application getting reviewed is zero . And by the way, strong gpa is relative.

Hello,

Is there anybody here who is studying in the University of Texas, Austin? If you know anyone, please direct me to them.

I'm planning on applying to the University to study Advertising in the Moody College of Communication but everybody I tell about it keeps saying it's rated alongside Stanford and co, it's acceptance rate is low and I may not be admitted.

I'm yet to write my GRE. It's in October. I want to apply for Fall 2019 (I hope it isn't late).

I graduated with a cgpa of 4.11 from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

I'll be glad if I find people who can relate with this and out me through. Thank you.
Why do you allow people’s opinion to decide your future for you? If you apply and you don't get accepted, you have nothing to lose. Just make sure you apply to more than 2 schools and spread your risk from highly ranked to mid ranked. A man that has no dream is a dead man, its not a crime nor is it stupid to dream. Believe in yourself and put in a good application. If you fight, you can either win or lose whereas if you don’t fight, you have lost already.

Writing GRE is not too late but make sure you submit all your application materials before November ending. Most top/good schools have deadlines set for Dec 15 for fall 2019. You have a decent GPA, try to complement it with a good GRE, advisably >315

Do a quick search on nairaland using ‘university of texas austin’ you should see someone or better still, go to linkedin and put ‘‘University of Texas Austin, Nigeria’’ Nigerian students in the school should pop up then you can connect and ask specific questions.

I just did a quick search using ‘university Austin’ on nairaland and I saw that this guy/girl (kcm95) is going there. You see? This is not hard, you just need to be more proactive

You can never get into America July 2016 and get a permanent resident card in July 2018
He said he got here July 2016 and this is july 2018
It is not possible
What he probably have is a conditional green card

NOT EVERYBODY HERE IS IGNORANT AND DONT KNOW THE MEANING OF GREEN CARD
You are absolutely right that its conditional GC. However, you come off to me as if you are hating or you wish him bad. You don't need the 'some people didn't get permanent GC' bla bla inference. Just let it go and let people use their own brains

guy cool down and stop lying
why are you lying naaaaa
if you get into this country 2016 you can never ever and i say again never ever get a permanent resident card which is 10 years green card and after that you will file for citizenship in 3 years
what you have is probably 2 YEARS TEMPORARY GREEN CARD or also called CONDITIONAL GREEN CARD
i have seen lots of people that was given 2 years green card that you have and was not given a 10 years green card which is the real one,i mean alot and alot of guys here have 2 years green card but when it expire they cant renew it to the real permanet resident card which is 10 years green card that will make you be eligible to file for citizenship after 3 years

and again if you really get here 2016 and you really have a green card ,what you have a 2 temporary green card that is going to expire and not the real and original green card that is for 10 years that will make you eligible for citizenship in 3 years

stop coming here telling lies and thinking old members dont read these post,i read this post everyday and just dont comment
and if you want to start an argument with me,i will do the maths for you with link from USCIS.GOV website

Please i'm going to texas, can I book flight to JFK and then take a bus or train to Houston (it's about 23hrs). Want to know if it may be an issue at JFK POE considering that I'm supposed to take flight to Houston. Just trying to cut cost. Thanks.

cc
No it wont be an issue but have your bus ticket in hand incase you are asked. I don't think Newyork to Houston is 23hrs, it should be more than a day by bus. A quick check on Greyhound shows about 40hrs for the Fastest itinerary and it goes for about $180. You might want to check flight, I believe it might be comparable if you consider stress you will go through with bus.

In order to join the US army, I am told that I need a green card or a permanent residence card. How long do I have to live in the U.S to get one?
Just by living? If it were by that everybody will be a greencard older. You don't get a green card just by living in the US. You get it via work or marriage or investment.

My wife showed me an article about something related to this the other time. No one knows if the rule is now implemented or not. Also they said if a green card holder is ever caught using public assistance or with false misrepresentation, he would be removed.
Yes no one knows if it has been implemented, everything seems skechy.

Guys pls, the agent in US told my cousin not to open his i20 form that it is to be opened by the VO , pls how true is this ?

Furthermore , how true is the information that there is a new policy (created about a week ago ) that someone with a visitors VISA who applied for student VISA in country outside USA and got denied and proceed to USA on his visistors Visa and decided to applied for student VISA from USA and gets denial will be immediately deported because his intention of student visa has been created already when he first applied outside USA and thus, he’s not in US to visit but to apply for student visa
That might be true but the policy is vague. If you apply for change of status in the US, even for green card and it gets denied..the next thing is deportation process

Sorry o but does(for example) $12000 per semester stated on the school website mean that's the amount I will pay for year 1 or I will pay it twice for first and second semester making a total of 24 000 dollars?

And also, after admission, how many weeks after resumption do most schools give before you have to pay and are installmental payments allowed?
I know these questions differ with school but generally, what's the package often like
There are technically two semesters in a year for grad student. The quoted fee says ''per semester''. You will pay that twice in a year. Most schools allow you to pay installmentally while some wont allow you to register for the next semester if you don't pay your outstanding dues

That been said , I won't rush and reapply because you don't know the comment this VO has put since she caught you in a lie. Consistency is key

NefT:
Hello everyone!
Could you please vet my proposed transcript.
Femi, lagosismyhome, Twood, Chidinho10,imperioux, Dare, theamerican and every other members of the house, I apologise if I have not mentioned your name
Help me please!

Why are u going to the US?
I am going to the US for my PhD degree in chemical engineering at the UKansas

Why are you changing course and school?
It is not as if I am changing a course, biopharmaceutical is classified under biochemical engineering which is an area of specialisation in the field of chemical engineering, I will still have to specialise in biopharmaceutical/biochemical and as for the school I decided to go for a more reputable school in terms of ranking and research

How many school did u apply?

I applied to six schools: UKansas, UNH, UAH, UArkansas, UTK, LSU

How many Admit?

Three admits
Why UK?
out of all the admits, Ukansas happens to be the most reputable in research and chemical engineering ranking. Also, they offer concentration in my area of interest.

What is your study Plan?
I will have to complete 30 hours of credit course work at the graduate level and 24 hours of credit in research dissertation. Usually in the first year, it is expected of me to have a CGPA of above 3.0 after which a general examination in the second year must be passed. The exam involves a written plan of a novel and unique doctoral research followed by an oral defence of such proposal in the presence of research committee.

Do you have area of interest?

My area of interest is biochemical/biopharmaceutical research. Most importantly improving biological based drugs such as proteins, monoclonal antibody, vaccines, insulin and next generational biologics such as engineered tissue and stem cells.

Do you have a supervisor already?

Not at all but I have 3 proposed supervisors that are specialists in my area of interest, Prof mike, Adams and Kung

How do you intend sponsoring your education?

My uncle will be sponsoring my education
Note: I have a Letter head from him saying he will be a sponsor, my only fear is that the amounts are UK account having 60000 pounds and US account worth 40000 dollars but no flow per say, they are savings. The money have been there for a while. Is it a crime to use savings instead of Current account. Also he printed the statements online. He said he will have to be there in the US physically to get the one directly from the Bank. The problem is that he will not be travelling to the US until late September. Will the VO understands?

What does he do?

He is a retired NNPC director that is now into farming, he has choice properties in the UK and US that also bring him income

Why are you not funded?

I contacted the graduate coordinator on this and he said TA positions are filled by domestic student but that as an international student, I would get RA when I arrive on campus. He said Professors will give presentations of their current research work at the start of the program, and that students will be assigned according to their area of interest and RA will be awarded. Infact I have contacted some profs that showed interest.

What will this degree do for you?
With the PhD degree, opportunities are endless, I have always had the short term and long term plans. I planned to work in the industry for sometime to acquire that hand-on engineering experience before finally settling for a lecturing position which will make me a better engineering lecturer.
I believe you are in good shape but I am just skeptical about that printed SOA. However, at this point there is nothing you can do about that now. Explain same way you explained here and hopefully there won't be any problem. Also be ready for why your uncle is sponsoring you and try to emphasize that you will come back to Nigeria to work in the industry/take up a lecturing job
