Congratulations Mr DM!

ferdimako:

Good story but this ur share abi no be sheer?

Prof Ferdimako, I hail oooooo

slimmy05:
Its not that they don't have a functional brain, its just share stupidity. My uncle introduced me to his neighbor, a fellow grad from IMSU who spent some years in South Africa before the wife filed for him, the dummy sits at home babysitting while the wife work. He was home babysitting for almost 2years. My uncle got angry at the guys attitude cos he sees it as share laziness. All he does is drive and take pictures round US uploading on facebook like a college kid. My uncle got him a job and the guy went round complaining that the job is too demanding. Came to my uncle that he no longer needs the job and my uncle cursed him out, he got angry and left. The lazy mungo park keeps borrowing money from my uncle. I saw him this evening in suit, guess he went for photo shoot

Some men are just lazy

djmakson:
Innovativeame, you are such a blessing. Only God can reward you. God bless you brother. Gratitude!

Glory to God sir! It's nothing. NL is an online family

slimmy05:
I will still punish that boy I don't know why he is like that.[[quote author=slimmy05 post=35251002] I will still punish that boy I don't know why he is like that.

sirRiddy:
Lol...
I got redeployed to Osun, would report at Osogbo on Monday. Hope you are ready for the 'Land of Opportunities'?

Ha! Thank God. Bisimilai irohim

sirRiddy:
Always gesticulating, with swags though.
How you doing, brother?

SirRiddy Ready! I've missed you bro! Hope they didn't post you to a 4th world workplace?

djmakson:
My question goes to those who have been there:

Anything wrong with gesticulation while one responds to questions from the VO?

I've really been thinking. For me, it's tends to be an involuntary action (Sure I'm not the only one with that problem).

Cc: Imperriox, Bigfrancis, Zeezahbee, Msnas, Slimmy, Innovativeme, Stewee.

I hardly talk without geticulations, as a classroom teacher it's been part of my daily lifestyle. I did gessticulate on my inyerview day, especially when the VO asked how i chose my school Most important element here is your confidence. Be yourself always!

slimmy05:
my account was hacked

An account owned by oneself and hacked by oneself is called "suicide-hacked". You wanna give guys hypo-hypertention

femysmart:
My program started on 22nd. My visa was approved on June 16.. but yet to collect visa. I have informed the school abt this delay.

Please is there any thing I can still do or request from the school to prevent being booted back at PoE.

Is there a maximum no of days after which one might be refused entry?

And I know this place is not the us embassy. .but any body has an idea when this visa will be released?

I'd suggest you also inform your graduate coordinator should lectures have commenced s/he can tell u exactly what to do when you arrive. However, your school OIS should be aware of the development, I'm pretty sure the whole world is aware of what is going on with the US visa system. I don't think you will have a problem at the POE if you have a letter from your school backing that up. My school gives up to two weeks late arrival due to logistics. Bottom line is, get a letter from your school.

bigfrancis21:


Sure, I can help you out if you want.

Thanks for the expeditious response.

meritdee:
Okay, I thought I wouldn't have to disturb anyone from here concerning my (initially, a small matter but now turning to a big one) matter.

To save my potential adviser stories, here is it's summary;

I already got an admission for a graduate program (Standardized test was exempted) which I had to defer from last spring to this fall because of my job.

My I-20 is en-route Nigeria through an expedited mail service.

I took the initiative coupled with the advise of a good guy from here to write Toefl or GRE. I chose GRE because it will not only reignite my already acada-dull head but would also serve to convince the VO that I'm actually going to study.

I planned taking it on the 9th of next month but sh*t happened. ----That's another story-----

I've been trying to register on ETS website for over an hour but I keep getting "not successful" on the merchant's (ets) website.

Used both my VISA (UBA Africard) card and same card linked with Paypal. (It's pending on paypal status but returning as unsuccessful on ets website)

I'd really appreciate anyone with a way forward. Help a brother. Thank you

The synopsis of this epistle is that you want to register for GRE using the PayPal route but couldn't, right? You have plethora of options but one sure option is to contact someone in the US to help you register, I'll recommend Bigfrancis21, Slimmy 05 or anyone who can help out.
Cc: profojah, Bigfrancis21, slimmy05..........

ferdimako:

Good one but seldom is an adjective and as well as an adverb, no seldomly bro. No offense!

It's only a foolish man that thinks he knows it all, thanks for the correction, sir Ferdimako! How your side?

djmakson:


I see your interview couldn't pull through cos you submitted. Your DS160 on or after 9th of June. @Kenkool had his interview and got his visa today. He must have submitted his Ds160 form before that date.

We await the responce of those in your shoes. All is well.

Where have u been?

Bigfrancis21, your quarterly press release is always a BOMB! You seldomly come here but whenever you have time to, it's always insightful. I'll suggest you give us a monthly bulletin to keep us updated with happenings in every state in the US lol. Good to see you again.

kenkool:
Visa approved at Lagos consulate this morning. I was the first person to be interviewed at about 8am.
I was called at window 10 where a guy with plenty beard was.
Here are the convo:

V.O: How many schools did u apply to?
Me: I applied to three schools
V.O: Which other two did u apply to and how many you got admitted to?
Me: North Dakoda state university and Georgia Tech and I also got admitted in North dakoda (framed answer tho lol )
V.O: So why mtsu?
Me: Mtsu has a curriculum which fit in to my area of interest also there is good student to faculty ratio.. and I was fascinated about the research work going on in the department by Prof. Cheng which is on computer-integrated manufacturing (Vo was nodding like agama lol )
VO: When did you pass out from UG
Me: November 2012
VO: What have you been doing (As expected)

VO: So you will be working in school (referring to my GA )
Me: Yes Sir. (I didn't understand the question initially )
VO: What was your undergraduate major? (Last question )
Me: Electrical Engineering.
VO passed my i-20 to me without my passport and was typing oo (for my mind I know e don pure ),he now brought out the pick-up letter and circled a location there that I should pick my Visa there. I said thank you Sir and I bounced out lol.
I was not asked to show any document and was not asked who my sponsor is (He saw that I got funding from the school ).
Wanna thank God for the favour and also to all the gurus on this thread shout out to the following peopale; msnas (Thanks alot ma'am ), slimmy05 (Always there to help ), innovateame (my tutor, I appreciate bro ), profojah (expecting yours too bro ), walspring and other gurus here.
