Alright, thank you very much.

Hey 🤠

1. Follow the date stipulated in your Form -120. Naturally you may round off your program before then but your Host-institution has calculated extra time , in the case of illness, natural disaster , changes in calendars etc.

2. Another point is that , your Form I 20 will keep you staying back in the USA (until the I 20 expiration date) even if your F1 visa has expired before then. Follow the Form I 20.

Best Wishes .🙏

No interview invite from the school yet? They may have moved on with other preferred applicants.

Hello guys, Please I applied for PhD biological sciences at wayne state university fall 2024, but I am yet to get a feedback, anyone in my shoes here?

Hi guys, please I need your comments. My i20 states the duration of my program to be 7 years - even though I expected to see something like 5yrs thereabout, but then now I am filling the 'lenght of stay in the US' section of my DS-160 form. I would like to confirm if the 7yrs duration on my i20 is what I should fill in the length of stay in the US section of my DS-form. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, God bless you

Check here. Disregard the prices (exchange rates ish) here. It was written some years ago.

Hello guys, so I just got a fully funded offer for my PhD Biological Sciences program in the US. I would like to know the summary of the next steps to take towards my visa interview and travel, especially as regards cost implications. I have been trying to comprehend a lot of information online but would appreciate contributions from this great thread.

Thanks!

Did mine yesterday. What's up, what info do you need? It's great you have watched some YouTube videos though.

tellbiodun:
Good evening house. Please who has done a PhD interview? I have listened to some videos and readsome tips online but I still need urgent help from a direct person from this side who has experienced it.

NASRDA received

No sign of salary till now despite the hardship in the country.

This government is worse than Buhari's own

edogu:

Any MDA?. Cos this is getting serious oh!

You and your entire family too can start, his own will now join you

Ahmed0336:

Why not lead in protest with all members of your families from both mother and father's side then we'll join in the protest

Sadly, tribalism and religious sentiments will never make Nigerians collectively say "enough is enough."

nitt:


A people get the leaders they deserve.

If Nigerians collectively say 'enough is enough' today, everything will improve immediately

We don't have a compassionate government at all. Given the current economic crisis brought about by the removal of subsidy, salaries ought to be paid on or before 26th of every month. I am flabbergasted that up till now, no salaries paid yet. This is sardonic and seriously lugubrious.

This kind of government won't agree to pay such money without making noise about it in the media first. So by not hearing anything about the news, I strongly doubt that it's true.

Okay, thanks.

BigIyanga:

Keep sending more emails. Na copy, paste, and send . Your phone or computer no dey charge per email. One good response go pay for all your efforts and rejections Good luck

Please I need advice nairalanders... I've been sending emails to professors in the US to request their supervision as I intend to start applying for PhD Biomedical Sciences in Fall next year, but with over 20 emails sent, none has given a positive response. 11 of them gave one excuse or the other such as not being interested in taking new students, being retired since beginning of the year, closed down lab so not taking new students.

I knew there would be rejections but I thought it's good I share the whole stuff here just in case I can get helpful tips, as I plan to send more emails.

Alert received NASRDA

Nawa oh

jswagg4:

Funny enough, it's not like they aren't paying o but this one is very slow. I confirmed from here and other places that people got paid even yesterday Sunday and this morning. I will personally speculate that the fraud they detected was too much. I even read where one civil servant on GL 6 who was supposed to earn 60k was being paid 400k. Meaning that the corrupt IPPIS people will share the rest N340k. Imagine that amount for just one case o. Talk more of the rest o. So I think they are cleaning up, reconfiguring and trying to pay at the same time. Just my thoughts

Who has authentic information about what's going on...

Interesting. I'm yet to experience such

AmandaLuv:
funny enough today is the first day I received salary on a Sunday. I was paid this afternoon.

Payment continues tomorrow I believe

jswagg4:
Yawa dey o. These people paid some and left some o

You are confused naturally

Rinoxy:

You are just confused typing incoherent stuff up n down.

That's the news he saw

Whitemanbongo:

The Federal Government (FG), 36 states and 774 local governments (LG) in Nigeria shared N2.84 trillion as statutory allocation from the Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC, in the first four months of this year (January to April).
Copied from vanguard online news

You're even the one here spreading fake news. No FAAC meeting held yet, or I guess you're the one who chaired the meeting where 2.84 trillion was shared yesterday.

Rinoxy:

You should have just asked if FAAC allocation has been done instead of spreading false news.
FAAC was done yesterday pls and the amount was 2.84trillion.

Besides, why in a rush to label me as spreading fake news? I only shared my observation; which could be right or wrong. Must everything be about fake news? Chill please

Rinoxy:

You should have just asked if FAAC allocation has been done instead of spreading false news.
FAAC was done yesterday pls and the amount was 2.84trillion.

Oh ok thanks for the correction. I actually checked the news yesterday but didn't see it.

Rinoxy:

You should have just asked if FAAC allocation has been done instead of spreading false news.

Noticed no FAAC meeting yet.
With all the changes happening around, I guess salary shouldnt be expected anytime soon.

NASRDA salary alert received

They already said salary will delay beyond the normal cycle due to technical issues from CBN porta. That means it may reach next week self

Hmm Okay
