Topsmamen:
An LOE will suffice. Are the bank charges displayed in your bank statement?

Thank you. No. Just the #19,650 direct deposits.

Good People:

I have a question, please.

For folks who used NYSC as part of their work experience, if you are like me, you probably won't get up to #19,800 as your allowee after bank charges. For me, I think I was always #150 short of #19,800.

So, how do we reconcile a bank statement that shows roughly #19,650 and a reference letter that states #19, 800?

Bosslady @LadyMarshall and Chief Linker @Topsmamen I would be glad to have your input as well. Thank you.

ladymarshall:
@bolded is quite a grey area. The general assumption is that your application is locked post-AOR for everything you submit except there is a change of circumstances. Change of residency is a one of those. However there is nowhere on the CIC website that expressly states that you would need a new PCC when you change residency to another country. But the website clearly states that "it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate from the applicant."

Since nothing can stop CIC from requesting a new US PCC again, my advice would be raise a CSE only on your change of residence, then proactively request a US PCC and prepare for an ADR in case it comes. Sometimes the dealine dates in those ADR might not be sufficient for you if a PCC request comes. I hear FBI PCC takes weeks or months?

Thank you! If the application is made electronically, it takes just 4 working days after receipt of the fingerprints.

ladymarshall:
You have two options.

First, you can use US as your country of residence. You are visiting Nigeria for 3 months. If you use US as your country of residence, you will have to get Nigeria's PCC after you leave the country else the VO would have issues with it during post-AOR since you got it before you left and could lead to a rejection. You do not need to another US PCC if it is not 6 months at the time of submission. You can submit the one you have.

Alternatively, you can use Nigeria as your country of residence, get your Nigerian PCC and submit it. Submit your US PCC as well. However when you move back to the US after three months, you must notify CIC of the change of location by raising a CSE. You must also get another US PCC because the one you will have submitted while you were in Nigeria would be invalid since the rule says you says that for countries other than your country of residence, your PCC must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row. Also when was your US PCC issued? If it was issued before you move to Nigeria for your research and you want to use Nigeria as your country of residence, that US PCC would be invalid. You have to order a new one while you are in Nigeria.

Whichever country you decide to use as a country of residence will have consequences for the validity of the PCC of the second country.

Thanks, Bosslady LadyM! Heaven knows that I would have submitted my application without knowing this! Really appreciate.

I'm much more comfortable with the second option. I ordered and got my US PCC before I got to Nigeria a couple of weeks ago.

A follow up question, please. So, even if I order new US PCC now, I still have to get another one when I get back to the US? Making 3 US PCCs? Ha! I hope those FBI people won't be complaing say I dey wahala them.

tolfa:
PCC outside your country of residence doesn't expire so far you obtained it after your last visit. But becomes invalid when you visit again before application submission.

I need some clarification on this. So, I'm based in the US but I am in Nigeria for research for 3 months. I have my US PCC already. Thinking of getting Nigeria's next week. Does that mean I have to wait till I leave Nigeria to get my PCC? Or do I need to get US PCC again? Which country would you suggest I make the country of residence in this case: Nigeria or US? Should be turning in my application as soon as I get ITA in a few days.

Topsmamen:
Sure. Seeing as you're sure of getting ITA in the next round, the earlier you gather your POF docs, the better.

Thank you.

The gift of a man maketh way for him. Whatsoever your hands finds to do, do it with thy might. Congrats.

Good People, please, does it make sense to have the PoF docs ready in, say, 3 weeks before submitting one's application? Or does it have to be dated in like a few days before submission?

I'm asking because I am thinking of getting my PoF docs ready. Expecting ITA in the next draw, and hopefully submit a week after ITA.

What do y'all think?

ebixxx:
Good day Seniors in the house!
Please can anyone who applied successfully under NOC 4032 (Primary school teacher) or used NYSC (+/-teaching) experience for Express Entry permit me to PM my wife's Reference letter & salary certificate (paid in cash) sample for corrections.
We want to use her NYSC and also 1year teaching experience in a private school.
I have tried contacting a couple but none has responded to my emails requesting PM connection.
Please Kindly assist!
Thanks a lot in advance!

I might be able to help you look through.

Stencil:
Yes it is okay.

Thanks, brother. Really appreciate.

Hi, folks. Quick question please: Is it OK if job reference letter states monthly salary instead of annual? Thank you.

Olodumare, se wa ni olowo. No one is ugly, they lack money. The lesson here is this: whatever you do, keep at it. Your time will come.

OP, I don't know what you mean. It's very difficult to determine if you really have any medical issue or you are just being paranoid.

In any case, if you have been watching porn, stop! Stop it! The people you see in porn videos are outliers when it comes to the size of their pen!s. Don't compare yourself. The size of the male reproductive organ varies. You should only be worried if you really think your pen!s is TINY. If it isn't, live happy. The average size of the pen!s is 4.7 to 6.3 inches (with erection).

But trust me, I don't think there's anything wrong with you. Most guys have, at some point, second-guessed the size of their pen!s. In fact, research says 45% of men think that the size of their pen!s is small. I guess that's what is happening to you. I was in a slightly similar situation back in the day. As a matter of fact, at your age, I used to think the size of my pen!s was small/average. It almost affected my self-esteem. Then, I lived in a hostel (Awo Hall, OAU) in uni and folks started hailing my above-average pen!s in the bathroom. **I'm sorry, I just have to share this.**

Overall, don't be fixated on the size of your pen!s. You don't want to be depressed or start having self-esteem issues on nothing. You still have a few years of growth ahead of you.

And please, run away from all these people telling you about herbs. Those things have horrible side-effects.

Now, go play some video game and free your mind of this. God bless you.

xcaper:
What is the implication of applying to only one school for graduate studies and also going ahead to apply for visa . I noticed most people apply to about three schools. Does it mean if you apply to just one school you won't be able to secure visa?

Based on my experience, there's nothing implicating about it. Just make sure you are going to be funded. Good luck.

Marjoribanks:
Please can this cousin of mine get a full finding at bachelor's level in Computer science/Mathematics/Physics.

SAT 1170
TOEFL 96

Dear Marjoribanks, based on this, your cousin seems quite brilliant. What else did s/he do in school? It's important to know this because s/he will be competing against other brilliant (probably more brilliant) candidates from all over the world. So, having a CV loaded with lots of non-academic activities could help. Consider asking your cousin if s/he took part in extracurricular activities in high school.

Chemical2:
godG, greetings! You attend UW Madison right?

Greetings, my oga. Yessir.

AkAbiola:
Good evening to you all.
please , my sister sent me her proposed interview that I should help guide her through.
I sincerely told her I have a backup of geniuses on this issue, I don't want to give one way advice/correction...

Please, help Me scrutinize this sirs/mas

God bless you!!! kiss

...

The responses seem to be good. However, you should tell the person to be weary of rehearsed answers. It would make more sense for her to flow naturally.

I'm of the opinion that the person being interviewed have the power to control the shape/mode of the interview. You might not be able to achieve that by being mechanical.

ManOfPeace2000:
I had my f1 visa but was denied. here is my transcript
vo:go morning. pass my your passport...
...
vo:who is he to you
me:he's a good friend of mine
vo: thanks for telling me the truth
vowas busy typing)why this school
me: because they offer experimental program which turn classroom experience into real life.they also provide Excellent learning program through internship program , which I believe will help me learn from expert in my field ( cut in)
vo: that's ok. how many school did you apply to
me:3
vo: name them
me:Northeastern University, Ohio State University and University of Arkansas
vo:were you admitted to University of Arkansas
me: yeah
vo:why did you choose Northeastern University over them
methis is the only time she was paying good attention to me and she was also trying her possible best to understand me. but I was under tension) Northeastern University was my top choice and widely recognized in us than iniversity of Arkansas (she was nodding in disagreement)
vo:what do you want to study
me: liberal studies
vo:why
me:this course will enable me to become a journalist so choosing liberal studies will improve my writing,and critical thinking (cut in)
vo:sorry I can't approve your Visa
me: please why
vo: handed me the blue paper.

am open for any advice or suggestions

am 18years , finished school last year. no exam. no scholarship but none of them were asked.
I really messed... because I really need to study in us so as to make my dreams come true

Hi, sorry about this. Don't worry, you should be able to get it the next time.

So, I really think your interview experience would have been different if you were (more) confident. The moment the VO thanked you for telling the truth, you should have built on that to shape the whole encounter.

As for the reason why you chose an expensive school over a cheap school, no one can really help you answer that. You have to do that yourself. Ask yourself the question and answer truthfully.

Overall, what I would advise is that you should be more confident and tell the truth behind the choices you have made to the VO. These VOs are also human, they most likely will 'reward' you for being truthful and confident.

Good luck in your next interview.

brainy02:
In the US, can one write GRE there?

And how long does it take the results to be out after writing it here.

Thanks

Yes. When I was applying for my PhD, I wrote my GRE in the US.

Abacino007:
Good Evening my people

If VO ask the question:
Why did you apply to all these schools? What are the best reasons one can give.

I said this in my last interview: They all have low faculty to student ratio, which means faculty members can spend more time working individually with students.

Tell him/her the real reason behind your decision to apply. I really don't see anything wrong with the answer you gave in your last interview though.

KingStefan:
Please house,
Who knows about The University Of Arizona? Hope it's not a Visa mill school? Thanks

UA, Tucson is a great school.

Joystark:
Remember she added, 'then there is a problem'... The problem I your case, is the fact that your dad likes women.

No jor. She said "then there is something wrong with your upbringing." In my own case, I had an awesome upbringing! Pure bliss. I had almost everything I wanted. Great family. Believe me, my upbringing was great. Yet, I can't make my dad my role model. Some of these things are not that straightforward.

Nonsense. I love my dad and mum. I'm grateful for being their son. I had an awesome childhood because of them. But, hey, my parents are not my role model! My dad, for example, loves women. Do you want me to model my life after that? These people just sit somewhere and type nonsense as if everyone's reality is the same.

JoeBazz:
Graduate

Hey, I might be able to help you look at your essay.

Ifeoma77:
Yes you can. Contact any of the inspectors/ASPs whose numbers are on the thread. They will direct you on what to do

Thank you.

Zutlin:
Yes you can apply by proxy - it's no big deal. I wanted to do for a friend once and all the police officer required was their finger prints on the form. I scanned the form to her. She was to print out, finger print and then scan back to me but she didn't need the PCC anymore. He was charging about 13k.

People are asleep now. I'm sure you'll get first-hand advice in the morning.

Thanks, man! Really appreciate. True, people are sleeping. Let's hope I get more input in the morning. Thanks, again.

godG:
Hi, good people. I have two questions please: can I apply for Nigeria's PCC by proxy (not currently in Nigeria)? If yes, could you please explain how to go about that? Thank you.

Biko, help me na. �

Na Bombata na. If you go OAU and stay Awo Hall around 2010 or so, you go sabi Bombata. He's always been funny.

Sannisege:
stop deceiving yourself. APC has better politicians and strategists than that dead PDP of yours

Haha. This your logic ehn. Where did you see in my post that I have an affiliation with PDP? One of the many problems of Nigeria youth is that we don't think through and analyze issues with clarity of mind. We are too emotional. No wonder our leaders are taking advantage of us. Sad.
