I'd say they are basically cheating the system and why no one relies on anything we say. We lie at visa interviews that we can afford huge tuition bills, we back it up with fake or borrowed bank accounts... then run to the states and promptly change schools.

You're studying in a CC, not because it fits into your career goal, but because its cheap. Plain and simple.

That is the ladies Spring/summer attire. When I first came here, those bum shorts tripped me, especially those with fat thighs. But now, it doesn't really move me.
Come to Southern California and your eyes may pop out when you see what many ladies wear in public during the Summer. On campus, many girls even wear bum shorts that barely cover the ass crack

Nigerians and "I must have car" mentality

No be so . cool head down. Plan yourself and hop into those smelly public buses. Enjoy the pain of real hustle save and have enough liquid cash I repeat liquid cash growing moustache in the bank while reading like say tomorrow no dey

Hello e-family I just arrived US couple of hours ago via Qatar airways my journey was smooth and Qatar airways is top notch with their service I got to point of entry which has been my biggest fear while planning my journey and imagine I did not use a min with the cbp office really cool my interview with him goes does:
Me: good morning (and I passed my passport and the form I filled on board)
Cbp: why are you here
Me: i'm here for schooling
Cbp:can I have your i20 and how long will you be staying
Me: (passed my i20) 3years
Cbp: what course will you be doing
Me: associate degree in engineering
And after that I did my bio capture....all this was less than a min tho and I got stamp and off to take my luggage.... I'm currently on a greyhound bus connecting to Maryland....
For people who will be traveling soon have no fear point of entry is not that serious just say what you are here for and you are good and carry plenty 9ja food ooo. I brought a full pack of indomi hungry man noodles and other food items....Good luck to me on my new journey

How best to answer this question keeps baffling me.

Why do you want to go to a community college when you are a graduate of a university here in Nigeria?

Coloniel5000:
I wonder why people go to visa interview and kept celebrating it no documents Is asked, is it that they go with fake documents or no documents at all?

Secondly, my elder sister is sponsoring me but she don't have enough cash flow if am to use her SOA, so am planning on using my uncle's SOA and also stating him as my sponsor, please hope this won't be a RED FLAG as I don't want to go there with forged SOA as some do I guess. Also scared of VOs doubting the possibility of your uncle spending such huge amount on you an do deny people because of that.

Na my Questions be that oooooo.............SPRING 2018...........LOaDING...............

I lost my smartphone and I plan to get a replacement. However, someone said my smartphone would be useless in the states as the networks won't match. That I'll just have to discard and buy phone there. Another said I can buy a US sim and use with my new phone. That buying a phone there is expensive and better bought here. Please those who are already there, which is accurate? Not having a smartphone sucks at the moment for someone like me, but i don't want to buy something I would have no choice but to decommission in 2 weeks time or so when I travel.

Hello Good evening
I earlier sent a message but got no reply. I would like to transfer to a US varsity come January 2018 cause by then I should have completed 46 credits which qualifies me for a transfer.

So I wanna ask,
1. is there any university that you would advise
2. Is it possible to get a full tuition scholarship as a spring transfer

Couse- computer science

Thanks for sharing

GTB is not serious ooo. This means its a rate of 360 naira to 1dollar . That almost black market rate ....no?

Then there is no much value on doing PTA . Someone can as well buy from blackmarket. The only value i see here is maybe you are more guaranteed of authentic dollars but who really knows... I was under the impression PTA is more inline with offical rate ? (around 305 range )

iekene:
Follow UP

..So the above discovery was made yesterday at GT Bank Ajah and also GT Bank, the one close to Balogun Market (**I dont know thw bramch name exactly, I am not conversant with Lagos, I find my way using Google Map and asking questions.)..They both gave the same response. I actually checked twice to be sure this was the case.

..Today after collecting my passport at DHL, Victoria Island, I decided to test my findings. I located one big GT Bank. Close to Law School. The place is well arranged and beautiful. So I went to the customer care lady she directed me to the cashier incharge. I was asked for the same thing.

- Flight Ticket
- Passport Data Page
- Passport Visa page

On submitting them she asked where's my return ticket, I was like what ?!!!! . Told her am going for studies, with a stern look. She carefully perused my Visa Page and went to her colleague to ask questions. Later went for photocopy, asked me to write my account number and Phone number. and told me to return tomorrow to pick it up. Saying of there's anything they need I would be called.

Just make sure it's less than 14 days to your travel date and make them understand you are a student and don't need a return ticket.

Hope this helps someone

LagosismyHome:
