Economics. $1665 per credit hour and my total hours is 30. So 1665 * 30= 49850. Most Nigerians are not oblivious to the fact that H1-B is getting increasingly difficult.

What u are coating is undergrad fee. Ave told u my tuition as its standard cos it's calculated per credit hour. $1665 per credit hour I belive. My course is 30 credit hour.

That's the average annual cost $65k - then 2 year graduate course ..mulitply that by 2.

This is a ranked school not even one of the highly ranked.

What course were you admitted for, please share. Your perculiar low tuition is very interesting ..others may benefit from that information.

Thanks

I would be going to George Washington Uni DC. I understand its close to AU.

oveestreet:
Please guys, anyone going to American University Washington DC this fall.??

What do you categorize as highly ranked? I Wld be attending GWU and my tuition for first year is $29k and second year roughly 20k and I understand I can get schools that are way cheaper. Your $100k estimation is still too much in my opinion. Besides a lot of Nigerians get one form of scholarship like I did. Anyway thanks for the HI-B info.

Goldenboy007:


For highly ranked school you can hardly get a graduate course worth the career - for $50,000, MSc or MBA. Please take note of what I said " Highly Ranked Schools" Except you are In-State student. There are very few exceptions. Rutgers has its MSc for $17k per semester excluding fees...multiplied by 4 semesters. When you add the fees then you are looking at almost $19k per semester.

Just wondering how the family members of this criminal would feel, to think this is someone's child and husband. Such a shameless wicked man.

So your generalization of $100k is based on MBA tuition. Well for Msc, a two year course usually ranges from 30-50k.

Goldenboy007:


These information are available online. Most schools require you to pay every session or per semester - For a graduate course that cost $52000 per session and you have 2 sessions? or $20000 per semester and you have 4 semesters. US schools mostly have Spring and Fall Semesters except those that added Summer and Winter Intersession. (Graduate course). Depends if you are in-state or out of state.


This is a breakdown for Rutgers in NJ - 24 months MBA - Probably 4 semesters

Nothing to worry about if you did not present any fake document

guys!!! I checked my status and it says "administrative processing"...I looked up that phrase and my heart nearly cut from the results I saw...anyone in my shoes or once wore these shoes tell me something cos I wan give testimony for church tomorrow scatter ground...eez not moin moin...chai

Just explain to the VO if he or she asks for futher clarification. Also carry supporting documents to prove your mum is the owneer of the account.

PabloTrinity:


Thanks for your response, I have tried to maintain consistency in the I-20 and DS-160. But will like to enquire whether being sponsored by a business name rather than an individual has any negative impact on your visa application (interview inclusive)

If you get married put in mind your spouse visa can take up to one year before it comes out. So you have lots of time to learn a skill before you travek. Your are still young, you can also go back to school when u enter Canada. All the best.

Jameshavens:
[b][/b]i have this problem I would love to share here,tough some might not consider it to be one,
I'm about getting married to my girlfriend,a nurse in Canada, and she ll be coming to Nigeria anytime soon so we would go back together,but the problem is I'm a school drop out with no degree,and I'm wondering how to make this right,
Considering the fact that I have plans of my own and wouldn't want her to keep providing for us or maybe my family down,cus that's normal when a family member leaves for abroad,

I need to know how to go about it being that's it's my first time out of Nigeria


I need to know what I can really do out there without a degree to make enough for everyone (though I have plans of going enrolling my self in school there when I get enough) apart from the little I've saved.

I need to know what I need to prepare or maybe learn before leaving....
Please I really need help on advise from you guys, God bless

Apply from the US.

electronic:
My people so if a student on F1 is to go for a seminar or conference in Europe (schengen country) would the student need to come back to Nigeria to apply or it could be done in US?

Snatched indeed. I thought he was separated when he started with Stella. Abeg people shld mind Thier business.

Hmmmmm. The guy is just frustrated. Under no circumstance shld anyone go to Europe via Libya, he is learning that the hard way. It's dangerous and totally not worth it, u Wld just waste your life chasing paper that you might never get. As per job levels, Even Italians them self never see job. It's tough in Italy and being a Nigerian Wld make it tougher because of the bad reputation we have.

Please do you think it is possible to convert from merit award to RA?

sirRiddy:
Just be serious with your classes so they can renew it.
You have to be on at least 3.5/4 to remain competitive especially if you have not been promised anything
by the department.

It was fine just two days ago whn I booked my. He shld try again. Btwn lots of dates available so no need to panic.

sshola:
Please what could he wrong. My uncle has been trying to book an appointment but the system seems not to be taking my nameS. Who has same experience? PlS help me o

Nigerian men shld better stop this nonsense. If u know u are marrying fr papers better find a woman u can tolerate and live with for a long time. Simply accept it as your destiny and don't just leave whn yr papers come out. If u must leave, pls leave because really the marrage is not working and the woman is unbearable. As for the woman, she has obviously lost her mind, very unstable and heartbroken. Madam cnythia as a lady, she shld know its not easy. She shld have called the lady aside for a woman to woman talk.

Congratulations. Well deserved

I contacted the school and the said that is my correct major, guess I Wld have to stick with that. Criminal justice and computer science is too different. Good u got a new 1-20

Gee7733:


I will advice you send a mail to the school to send you another 1-20, I have similar issue cz applied for criminal justice and the 1-20 I received yesterday stated computer science. I sent an email to the school and they have sent another I-20. Don't take chances.

Hi everyone, I just got to know about this trend and it has been so helpful. God bless you all for the great work you are doing here.

Please on the space of where would you be staying on the DS 160 form, should I input my school address?

The lyrics are too shallow, almost embrassing. Nice beats tho

Let her reapply, hopefully the next VO would not make an issue out of it. Her visit visa is still valid. Btwn was she staying with a sibling? Cos I know someone that did same and was issued visa.

lono22:
Good afternoon.pls am speaking in respect to a Friend .she got visitors visa last year and was in d usa for 5 months then she came back to apply for student visa...she was denied today the visa officer kept saying what was she doing in the usa for five months and denied her student visa just today...please what should she do?is her visitors visa still valid?should she reapply? Thank you!

No o. I still have balance o. Honestly the school can call big money. It's 32k for two years so I have like a total balance of 17k for the whole program.

LagosismyHome:


Love GWU , Congrats............I am curious does this 16K cover all the tuition for this program or still a lot left . GWU can like to call big money but love the school anyway

Hmmmm. So how do you intend to pay for tuition?

frankie2K:
please house,Is it possible for someone who have gotten admission without funding of any kind and have not paid his fees but with a limited budget of 500,000 naira travel to American and succeed?

Thanks

Passport Photo ID Studio

I no Dey naija o. Am on vacation ;DI would try and snap my self.

electronic:

Go to a photographer that has an idea on VISA pic sizes. I did mine with a Samsung phone at a business centre and the guy adjusted it to 600x600. Finito, your camera is probably the problem.

George Washington University DC and yes I did get the global initiative fellowship which comes with a $16k a year scholarship.

cuspy:


Hello. Please what school did you apply to for Applied Economics? and were you funded?

Please tell me the name of such app. Thanks

Tunnyz:

No you can't do that anymore... You must upload it online and still take a hard copy to the embassy. If you're having issues with the size, there are apps on play store that can perfectly resize it to the US size. Regards

Am having difficulty uploading my passport photo on the DS-160. Must it be uploaded? The last time I went for a US visa interview I was unable to upload my passport so I simply carried a passport photo with me and I had no issues. Can I still do that?

Am yet to fill the DS 160 but surely I would put applied economics. So Wld def cross check with the coordinator.

femi321:
This might not be an issue if Business/managerial economics is what you filled on your DS form but if not, you might have to change it. It is always better to be consistent, let your i20 be consistent with your ds form to avoid stories that touch. On another note, did you fill applied economics application? You might want to check with your school to be certain why there is discrepancy. Your grad cord should give a better explanation

Ok thanks. I Wld still cross check with the coordinator.

LagosismyHome:


Not at all...such things dont matter so no confusion there as long as you verify with the school that when you resume yours is applied economics ... . Beside both fall under the same course family.

Please oo. I got my I-20 and my major is stated as business/managerial economics. While am going for Applied economics. Is this generalization the norm? Like will this cause confusion in the embassy.

For me the first school I applied to was a top school and I was admitted. Then I applied to a safe school with the hope of getting better funding. The so called safe school did not even give me admission talk more of funding Safe schools are not that safe, so to me if you have an ok profile apply to both top and safe schools.

Helkayklassic:
Hello. Those of you already in the state and those that are about to resume this fall, how were you all able to cope when choosing schools? Many schools with different offers. Ojukokoro wan kill me! I have changed decisions of my "four" choice of schools several times. I think i am okay now thou.
