Meet the conditions on the LOA (if there is any)

Put your documents together

Separate them into CLIENT INFORMATION & PROOF OF MEANS OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

Merge the necessary ones using the combination of ILovePdf, tinywow.com and collage where applicable. Pay for your visa & biometric. Submit your application.


Go for your biometric. Go for upfront medical if you wish.

Then wait and pray

Please where do you go for upfront medical??

Frankrobbn1:

Hello Frank, please I need your help and guidance. My sister just got admitted. She wants to go with kids and husband. Please and please help me. We are getting documents already saved.

Congratulations to me again
Congratulations. So my sister got admitted to this same school and I am super worried about the PGWP aspect. Can you share more on your plan afterwards? I am asking because without PGWP it's assumed you go back to your country if I am not mistaken.

Congrats ... May God bless your new journey

Hi... Sorry just saw this. I went to the embassy site. There is no nanny via but they take note of it. Just like they do for those preggie going to have a baby. So the VO sees it in their record ...something like that

Please I need to know the cheapest flight from Lagos to San Diego or los Angeles (whichever is cheaper) for 3. One infant and 2 child and one adult. For one way tickets (pls check dates from July 15 - July 25.
Then for one adult and 2 children (same flight as above) but round trip. To return one month after.

ode! US visa officers check these threads

Don't mind them. That is what I keep saying...

Please house note that not all posts are real issues as it might be a test. Just drop your "valid" advice and walk away

OmoBendel24:


What the guy said is very correct oh, especially that birthing thread! CBP officers are even believed to be part of participants there, they know the in and out of that thread, particularly at IAH and now DFW too....

Abeg I am a lady..lolz

folmus:


abeg, this bros dey tell us lie. How many wallets do you have? You said you made mistakes dropping all your things including wallets.

My thoughts exactly!!! Now I am not saying its not possible but below are my observations;
1) apart from the 2 wallets stated, my experience shows taxi guys stay outside the airport. Like at the entry and exit area, so how can a man just say follow me?? You come follow? Is it otumokpo?
2) they announce even in Nigeria airport do not leave your stuffs unattended! Okay let's assume you never heard the announcement, but who did you tell to watch your bag?

I don't care what other people say. I feel you either are a VO trying to tempt humble Nigerians or you want to advertise illegally.

Now who is the person that said you should drop your details? Will you give him new passport abi na money? Biko just tell him to private chat or what is it called here??

@seyewest,

My trip to Texas, those immigration officers knows 200% about Nairaland and different groups. They even asked me if I was in the pregnancy group and what my nickname was!!

Osama10:
Landed JFK Terminal 1 yesterday 11:30pm Naija time.

Walked straight on to the machine for passport scan & printed out the slips.

In the next 10mins was in front of the Cbd officer.

Cbd:Passports Please.
Me: Passed them to him.
Cbd:How long are you staying?
Me:15days.
Cbd:Where are you staying?
Me:Mentioned the hotel.
Cbd:Stamps all 4 passports for 6months.
Me:Picked them & said Cheers.

Went to pickup my baggage & straight up into town.

Pls house how does this passport scan work?

seyewest:

Yea Emirates as well.

Pls let me understand. So Emirate screen at Abu Dhabi too??

jenny2007:
Guys you need to be careful with TravelStart. Fine, you can scan ticket prices in their site but do not buy from them especially if you're buying a flexible date ticket. Can never forget how those people scammed me on my last trip to the States. Bought a flexible ticket - which is obviously higher in price becos you get a free date change just in case - I got to the U.S., wanted to leave a few days later than planned. I contacted TravelStart for a ticket change and they told me I had to pay almost 150k extra for date change on a supposed Flexi Ticket �. They said no seats on the airline back to naija for my travel dates and cheapest was available was for that 150k price difference. This was for economy too!
Went to the Airline's office and was told that TravelStart did not sell a Flexi Ticket to me but a regular economy ticket and they any ticket changes has to be made by TravelStart directly. I had to send the 150k to TravelStart for the date change. Got the new ticket emailed to me, something told me to crosscheck again with the Airline (Qatar) right there in Chicago.
The airline confirmed the new dates, they asked how much I had payed for the new date change and I said 150k. The Qatar Airways staff turned his computer screen to me and showed me that TravelStart only paid N50k to them and that was supposed to be what I should I have paid them.
Up until now TravelStart is claiming that they payed 150k to Qatar instead of the 50k confirmed by the Airline. They claim that the airline office at Chicago lied to me. Lmao.....chai! They have refused to return the 100k difference to me. Guys careful with them. Just compare prices for different airlines on their sites then go to the Airline directly or better still use Wakanow.com

Wakanow too has that issue the last time I travelled. I didn't use them but the lady that did couldn't change dates as they told her to pay one ridiculous price too

olumig:
Amtrak is another option, will afford her seeing the coast line from LAX to San Diego

Hmm.. Tganks

seyewest:


That means you will land in LAX and take a bus or plane to san diego.

Thanks

Oluiyke1984:
Hi Ij, am in San Diego came in with F1 visa through DC. Ethiopian airline is not bad and the POE in DC very okay and welcoming. I won't advise u to do LA oooo, coz I know a lady that was turned back dats not our portion. The lady was turned back bcoz of her WhatsApp chat with the hubby, told the hubby she's not coming back to Nigeria they went through her Fon which they don't have right to. Make sure you clear all your chat where u mentioned anything about traveling or something just in case.
Quick one, incase you see crowd in the queue which I doubt call any of the security person say you are a student on F1, you won't need to queue that was what I did. Congrats.

Thanks. I might just rethink the whole route as I am coming with my kids. Don't want to be delayed unnecessary

In the spirit of giving back, please see my transcript.
Traveled from Abuja to Newyork via Cairo with two kids. Abv to Cairo wa's not so pleasant because the inflight entertainment was poor. Waited at Cairo airport for over an hour before we were taken to "Le Passage" for accommodation.

Cairo to Newyork was long and smooth. Food and services quite OK. On arrival at JFK, the queue was too much so I used the self help machine. Got 3 clean white papers for me and the kids and I proceeded to the CBP. While at the CBP, not a single question was asked! The lady just looked at my kids, greeted us and stamped us in. If not for say I Don enter Yankee before, I for say na mistake say the real CBP dey front. It was just a breeze. Less than a minute!

On my daughter's prompting, we held hands and prayed immediately we landed. Prayers work wonders my people and I give God all the glory. Many thanks to contributors on this platform too for making me go prepared. I'm right now chilling in NewYork, waiting for my wife and LO to arrive before moving to Chicago.
Meanwhile, the cab man ( old black american) that took me from the airport missed his way! Imagine that? We drove for almost 2 hours from the airport to Yonkers. I was initially enjoying the city view,but I got tired and I had to collect his phone and use Google map to locate my bearing o, which eventually worked.
God is awesome

I know its a year ago, but he didn't miss his way. He was incurring bills for you as a JJC. One yellow cab did that and I googled the customer care and called. They gave me the fixed price to pay him

Abiodunnn:
I will suggest you go to the port of entry thread on NL. You will get many POE for students there.

Hello

Lagosismyhome, Twoods, bigfracis21 and femi312
Am sorry have been disturbing you for a while now...

Please I have interest in Texas A&M university and being a computer lover (Don't like Math, so computer science is a no go area) I was looking for something like Cyber Security, Information and Communication science or Technology, and Telecommunication Science but couldn't get any of those.

But seeing this course

Computer Information system

I was very happy but on viewing it I saw it's issuing a business degree (BSS)

Can I as a science student apply for this course and be offered?
Although it's SAT that's required not GMAT

Here is the link please
http://www.wtamu.edu/academics/computer-information-systems-program-information.aspx

What about business analytic??

aamstih:
Check Stanford

Or

There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course you want to study, To save you some stress start from this website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools using a)www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most common courses, you can start from there b)www.gradschools.com c)www.google.com (you can just type 'msc in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org . 3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the information you need about the exam on the website. You will get adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I createdhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0 

TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though, some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone country.
For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/45tvc3ifi8wh8sh/AACXR5j6l3nsWK8vZx5P28TVa?dl=0 

As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and funding opportunities, be very explicit.

Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring (Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall 2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good for you.
