Hi guys, been a while I came on here. Been busy with a lot. My transcripts has been evaluated by G.C.E. They're pretty fast and cheap compared to WES. And they do accept scanned copied of transcripts from students so if you have your transcripts, you can just scan it to them and pay with GTBank master card and they'll begin the evaluation process immediately.

I'll like to know the time it takes TOEFL to send down the paper score of a test. I wrote the test on the 8th of March and they sent a copy of the score to my school and the school have received it, but I'm yet to get my own copy. I used my house address in ibadan not a P.O.Box. Do I have to go and check with Nipost and if yes with which tracking number do I show Nipost. Anyone in a similar situation?

imperiouxx: What do you mean by "often". I think they all verify credibility of credential before evaluating it.
Depends on what type of verification you're referring to. Do u mean GCE requesting the school to send the original copies for all photocopies or just placing calls/emails to schools? The call/email verifications is the normal one but I don't think they message the school to send the original copies to them...... Their's seem easier compared to WES. They accept student copies and photocopies too.

imperiouxx: This is good. How long it takes GCE to processed credentials.
It takes 15 working days.
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f):
OjaP: You seem to be fine. But is GCE not going to verify your transcript?

Good luck.
They do verify but not often.

winbyforce: Please don't be annoyed,I'm sorry. Didn't mean it that way. Was just trying to make a light joke. Success is yours! Go grab it.
Apology accepted!

winbyforce: grin grin grin lol. Flynbird go soon enter one chance grin
Excuse me.! Can't you respect someone's decision? And why on earth should you say "Flynbird go soon enter one chance"? How would you feel if I was pessimistic about your application and told you the VO won't grant you Visa? Huh? Please be matured. Its my decision so let me deal with it! I've read this thread from part 1 and I know what to look for in a schools so please stop quoting me about a school you don't know. There are other issues to deal with on this thread than being bothered about what school I'm applying to. Period!
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 5:29pm On Apr 20, 2013
OjaP: You are very wrong on this, you are keeping the name of your school and getting other info on here. Will you have access to that if all of us do the same thing?

I agree most people are fake applicants but no one is runining any chance. It has always been like that from the "cretaceous". You think say na only Nigerians dey do am? Madam, America is too big for all that jare.

If you have a good degree and grades, any school will admit you. All they need are sharp brains and our money.

Hey, did you resolve your issue with WES? I know what you can do, but I will also keep it to my self so that other agents reading this thread won't take advantage of it.

Goodluck!!
Lol.. I know there are pros and cons about disclosing schools but I have my reason for not disclosing the schools name. And I've done my research about the school and have reasons for choosing it which I can always defend during the interview.

And yeah I've sorted out the evaluation issue. WES refunded me. I had to go through GCE. Mailed them before proceeding though. And guess what? Its just $145 to get it done and they accept scanned copies of transcripts! I had copies of my transcripts. Would have cost me mailing time and money to get another transcript

Ms Nas: Do you have the green card that folds into three?you or your mum should have it. It has the records of all the immunizations you had as a kid. I still have mine. One of the schools I applied to requested for the same immunization records and I just took the card to a hosptial and a doc signed the forms for me. You can try that.
Not sure but I'll ask mom. Thanks!

TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 11:40am On Apr 20, 2013
Ms Nas: You probably would have taken the MMR as a kid, tho I don't know if that would suffice. You could ask the admissions officer. Tetanus shot is quite easy to get, dunno about the HPV. Was a form provided for this purpose? If yes, I think you'd need to get a medical practitioner to sign it
What if I've done one of these as a kid and don't know. Hope getting another done isnt going to complicate things.
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f):
winbyforce: Yes you are!!! cheesy
Wow! One injection for each of these: Rubella, MMR, Measles, HBV, tetanus and mumps. Or just one for all?

@kpoli did how did u get urs done? How long did it take to get your proof ready. And how much does it cost?
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 9:26am On Apr 20, 2013
FutureDon: Sorry for intruding, but it is that same school that asked you to provide a US address before they could process your admission? If YES, I'm sure the school is 'super-ivy'.
Yes the same schoolhuh
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 9:02am On Apr 20, 2013
kpolli: Is this the only school you applied to? If they are giving you long thing then please scrap them from your list.... Go for a correct known school with known criteria like University of New Mexico lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
I'm fed up with their wahala sef. Just that I've come a long way with them sad
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 8:46am On Apr 20, 2013
winbyforce: @flynbird,I believe you're in Ibadan,right? Go to UCH,GOP (general out-patient)department and ask for the immunisation section. You'll get all the vaccinations u need there and cheaply too.
Yes I'm in ibadan. But wait oh, am I getting injectionshuh?
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 7:36am On Apr 20, 2013
Anthonymighty: I guess schools are going tough now. They musta had bad experiences from 9ja students who get admissions and dont show. Even my school complained about it too on our Orientation day...lol #9ja no dey carry last grin grin grin grin
That's the major reason I didn't disclose the schools name on this thread. Anyone who is really willing to school wld google schools and do his/her own research instead of asking for schools on here. Not everyone who reads this thread really wants to go schooling. Some just see it as a means to get into the US. They ruin others chances of getting admitted. Lots of travel agents could also be visiting this thread to get new updates and they often process visas for people who do not have the intention of schooling. God help us!
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 7:05am On Apr 20, 2013
Na wah oh! I jst checked my mail and read a mail from the school saying I have to complete an online 45mintues writting assessment on ETS website. After scoring 91 in Toefl. Smh! They say only Business and System Tech grad applicants are exempted from taking the assessment.

The mails also says I have to submit a F1 visa compliance form affidavit of support. And it must be signed and stamped by notary Public or legal official!.... Thought this was supposed to be for the embassys interview. Isn't the bank statement showing enough for my studies suposed to be enough for the school? Smdh! angry

nice4life: Looks strange to me too, never heard of such before.
regarding your second question, I think you should be able to answer that question yourself.Comme on, you have Bachelor in economics so you should know better.you start by researching about HRM and try to see if it related to economics or not.
Ok I'll do just that
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 6:52am On Apr 20, 2013
nice4life: Its like she meant admission to the school not port of entry.
Yeah for admission oh! Imagine angry

kpolli: You have to do medical test and immunizations b4 coming..... I did mine b4 I came here.... It is far cheaper to do it in naija
Now where do I start this Immunization against mumps, measles and rubella, Tetanus and HBV test fromhuh I don't even know what to do or where to go. How did u get urs done and its for admission oh not POE. Wonder what business school has got to do with this. Are they taking we africans as animals with some sort of disease and bringing it into the US? Smh!
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by flynbird(f): 6:05am On Apr 20, 2013
Hi guys. Pls I'll l ike to know what my school means by submitting proof of Immunization against mumps, measles and rubella, Tetanus and HBV?? They say its part of the requirements for admission. Looks strange to me cos I haven't read anyone on here doing such for admission.

Also I studied economics and going in for HRM(human resources management). Does it look like a change of line? Are they very much related? Jst wondering cos of the VO's

Please apart from the international passport, what else do I need to present on the Toefl exam date? Do I print out anything or I just need to know my Toefl registration number or ETS ID?

imperiouxx: Try ECE and others and ask which one your school will prefer. Their list goes here http://www.naces.org/members.htm ......hmmm! This reminds me of the first time I heard about professional transcript evaluation, this page linked me with WES. Best of luck!
I just sent a mail to WES giving them NUC link and also sent WES's mail to the school. I'll just have to wait for both responce before I know what step to take. sad
