Hello Everyone

I am presently stranded as my flight to JFK New York was rescheduled to arrive earlier than initial time and my connecting ride to my school is the initial next day..

I am looking for someone I can pass a night with..I am actually scared of getting lost or scammed..

Please Mamas and Papas this great house who can help?

VISA APPROVED

Location: Abuja
Date: 17th, July 2019
VO: Young white american lady
Level: Undergraduate.

It was very scary because, she had rejected the undergraduate guy in my front.

VO: How are you. Your I-20 and passport pls.

Me: Good morning, (she answered and started to type).

VO: Have you travelled a before?

Me: No I have not.

VO: Where are you going to?

Me: I will be going to pursue my undergraduate degree in Psychology at PSC.

VO: Good, so why this school, PSC?

Me: PSC gave me the best scholarship and offer, in the sense that I was offered the Full Tuition and Fees scholarship which covers bulk of my expenses..(she cuts me and said)...

VO: Sorry what is the student size of your school..(I said over a thousand, then she said) because I have not heard about it before, how many school did you apply to? (I said over 9, accepted to about 8 )...
...so go on, why this school?..

Me: Apart from the scholarship, I was placed on the Honors Academy, which exposed me to a more rigorous and challenging academic curriculum (by this time, I was already shaky in ny voice, fear hold me as she was typing fast)...the Honors Academy also will assigned me a Professor and an Excelling Senior in my major to guide me through undergraduate research and opportunities..

VO: (She started to type for a long time, maybe bcoz I talked much)...So who will be sponsoring your education??

Me: I got the Full scholarship and my uncle and aunt will be taking care of the additional cost (I was already talking a little scared with shaky, but very loud voice)..

VO: Do you have a bank statement with you?

Me: Yes, I gave it to her and she perused through it..

VO: (Started to type for long again)...So how did you get the scholarship?

Me: It is a merit based scholarship based on academic achievement, leadership promises, personal statement essays and voluntary experience...it was demonstrated by my SAT score of 1280 and 3.8 GPA.. (my voice scattered small, but she was just typing)...

VO: (looked at her laptop screen for long, I think because I wrote a very long and detailed explanation on what I have been doing and she started to type again for long)...
So what have you been doing since, what is your work experience?

Me: (talked scattered here, but very loud and bold)...I volunteered with a mental health organization which
provided services for people with mental health issues..and also advocate that those persons enjoy same economic and educational opportunities as everyone else...(she cuts me by saying okay..)..

VO: So what are your after graduation plans?

Me: I will come back for my NYSC to take up an academic research job in an health institution to help develop Psychology as a standard major and also contribute to the mental health segment in Nigeria.....

VO: Do you have any family in the US.?

Me: Yes, a distant relative.

VO: looks at her computer, types for a very long time..(meanwhile I was looking at the Green and White slips, scared of what next)...
Gathered my documents and brings out a white slip, do well to pick up your visa in 3 working days ..

Me: (I was deaf in the later part of the statement)...Thank you ma, have a nice day...

Special thanks to all those who have made it a point of duty to contribute to making this thread a sucess. I have not contributed much, but I have been a silent follower of the thread since Part 7 (I think I started to read from part 7 to 15th, haha)..
Ms. Sharwama, sorry I did not call back that night. I did not have airtime, but I can call you now.

Mr Fairheart, I can not complete my story without adding how immensely you stood not only for me, but the other sucess stories we have recorded. God bless you sir.
To everyone one out here, Grace will crown all your efforts, in Jesus name, Amen.

Wretch32:
No

I just saw that it was written in the front of Abuja embassy, I did not know, now I am very worried .

Please, tipping a police officer at the gate after an interview..

Does it warrant a denial after an initial approval at the embassy?

dreambound:
Click on Reschedule Appointment...
Be careful when doing so..it may be your final grace to reschedule..

Ok sir.
But will I lose my former date in case I don't find a new favourable date..?

Thank you.

Ok sir.
But will I lose my former date in case I don't find a new favourable date..?

Thank you.

Hello house.

Please I will like to ask if it is possible to change the date of the interview after one has gotten already..

If yes, how can one do it?

Thanks..

Sir Texrem. Good evening..

I have sent you an email confirming my Sevis fee payment..

Thank you.

Philtos:
send a message to texrem or wallspring now

Thank you very much boss.

Hello everyone.

Please I need help on the payment of my Sevis fee.

How do I go about it?

Thank you.

LagosismyHome:
Maybe if your uncle has the funds for monthly, what you need is $5,000 maybe your uncle or family can see if they can get a loan within nigeria and quickly pay it back monthly . ...

OK ma, I'll suggest that to them.

Thank you very much.

LagosismyHome:
I understand you clearly but you still have no plans or stated them so the discussion only goes around in circles . Even monthly how do you intend to pay this ?. Not all school would you find jobs on campus for freshman

Also In a lot of school , all freshmen will be required to live on campus, even students whose family house is close to the school so i am not surprise at this.

For me there nothing i can help with, the school rules is their rule

Notwithstanding ma, the Athletics coach has promised to offer to complete it to full ride by spring semester as I came late for fall, but the admissions office will withdraw the full tuition I have now by that time if I don't enrol in fall, and it was competitive to get it.

Also my uncle said he can fund my month to month lease, but can not pay room and board at once.

LagosismyHome:
Firstly i dont know anyone in Little Rock so cant really help there

The bold part was a terrible idea.... forging doesnt help anything but creates more problem. Let say you had scaled through and even got your visa. Then what ?, you are left stranded in america with no resources to pay that fee . Been stranded in the US is no joke .

What you need to do is have a plan on how you intend to fund this waka.

I understand very much ma.
But I can pay for monthly rent while in college, but the fact is the school is saying they will withdraw the scholarship from the i-20 if I stay off campus alone.
So now it's just to get the i-20 with a relative or I pay the 8k for room and board which came quite too sudden ma...

I hope you understand ma.

I need help real bad..
I felt I wouldn't need to do this, but time is running out.

I got an undergraduate Full Tuition and fees scholarship and the school refused to give me the i-20 unless I pay the room and board fees which is 8k ( I have 3k, but I need 5k through loan, and I don't have a cosigner)..

Another option is if there is a relative in Little Rock, Arkansas who can attest that I will be living with them..(I don't have any relative there, so I forged one with a letter of attestation, but the office said they need to just talk with the person on campus..)
Please I need to please help me out with any relative in Little Rock, Arkansas or help me go the campus and talk with them concerning my accommodation...
If possible I will fund the transportation cost as it's the option I may have...

I don't know if anyone here can help out with any of the options. Because my scholarship will be taken away if I can't provide these alternatives in due time.

Thank you fam...
God bless y'all...

fairheart:
Great idea. This should work. Which school is this?

Philander Smith College. Arkansas.

fairheart:
Then get the relative attest or write a letter, and get the scholarship. But you will have to ask the school if that option is acceptable.

Yes boss.

I have done that and I think he was talking about visiting the admissions office on campus.

What do I do about that ?

P.S: boss I don't really have a family, I just forged one though.

Marjoribanks:
Please can this cousin of mine get a full finding at bachelor's level in Computer science/Mathematics/Physics.

SAT 1170
TOEFL 96

Your cousin did well on the SAT, but could try it out again.

Anyways the school that I know could give her a full ride with that score (I know a friend on full ride with that score) is Mississippi Valley State University.

Just that she would have to demonstrate that he/she graduated one year before the Fall of her proposed academic resumption.

I had a 1280, but was disqualified based on that.

Also the deadline is Feb 1st, so if your cousin should be aware of that if he/she is interested...

lyrondee:
Not alcorn... MVSU..

I applied to MVSU also, got admitted, I had 1280, but was not offered a scholarship because I graduated in 2014.

Best201195:
Alcorn??

Couple of persons that applied to Alcorn State including me have complained that their evaluated transcript was not delivered to the university, but the agencies said they did and they provided Tracking id, confirming that claim.

Who has same issue?

lyrondee:
My school insist I submit a immunization record showing MMR for admission processing... Please what does it mean and where can I get such??

I can help you out with it.
Send me a pm or email.

GboyegaD:
Because many of us never wrote SAT and do not know what the scoring algorithm is.

Ok I perfectly understand.
So has he come to correct the score now?
The two scores he gave are not multiples of 10, there's something about this I don't understand.

But let me assume it's a second mistake.

BikeMan:
meaning even the first score he mentioned isn't obtainable on the SAT, hmm!

It is what it seems.
I was wondering why nobody paid attention to the score self.

charliejose:
Why do I have this feeling this boy is not real? I may be wrong though.

SAT scores come in multiples of 10 only so all scores end with a "0" attached.
So can he explain how he got 1462 because it's starting to sound mendacious.

Good day everyone.
I just wanted to know why WES seems to be the most prevalently used credentials evaluation agency?
Is there anything wrong with the others like, "Educational Credentials Evaluators" and AES.
Thanks Chiefs.

100kobo:
This is the sort of question that irk me. Will you apply to the school because they hand out scholarships or out of deep seated convictions that they are the best fit for your career goals?

Peace Bro...
But Bro ur remark was harsh and intolerant. That was what got me angry, I'm sorry for the further altercation it might have caused. Thanks...

Peace too, my Bro @CptCharlesVane @Dgboyega
Nairaland One Love!!!

GboyegaD:
I guess you took his response out of contest. He was only trying to advice you not to apply to a school because of the scholarship it offers.

Thank you ehn!!!
So when you want to give advice to people you get irritated also?
So how is that one advice? It means u re not tolerant at all!!!
What if he had just asked,
"are you interested in their scholarships or their quality?"
and then I say, "I'm interested in their scholarships oh"
And then he says "OK"..

Case close!!!!

CptCharlesVane:
YES, absolutely. Again what is wrong with that? mind your business. If you get irritated over someone else's application or inquiry then it's time to take a break. Leave nairaland for a while and interact with real people so you can have a clue of other people's diverse backgrounds. Learn to identify what is and what is not your problem to get irked about. I called you out on this the other time.

Deep seated convictions for 'fit' for an undergraduate degree Are you going to pay for him after the fit?

As in eh, thank you for making it plain oh...
If I come here to do fund raising for educational expenses, he will still be the first person to complain about people bugging others with their overpriced ambitions.
Now I wanted to know schools that give full ride, he is complaining...
People sha, they can just be too harsh on others with one kind of myopic self-worth attitude.

100kobo:
This is the sort of question that irk me. Will you apply to the school because they hand out scholarships or out of deep seated convictions that they are the best fit for your career goals?

Thank you for the sentimental observation.
Maybe it's true some people apply because some schools hand out scholarships, what is wrong there?.
Respect people's motive in doing things as long it's not illegal or illicit...
Was just a question and you took it personal.

You don't even know if I wanted the info for another person or whether I would even apply to the school.

Please next time, think twice before you get irritated.

Fonoth:
Good day gurus in the house,a friend suggested this platform.
Please, I have gone for my interview and was denied twice. I was scared in The first one;I wasn't convincing enough. The second one, the vo, noticed a discrepancy.. I mentioned my Dad as sponsor the first time.. and this second time that I wasn't scared, I mentioned my uncle..
Now,I'm processing another university with guaranteed (full scholarship).
Please what are the likely questions I'd be asked?
I anticipate a quick helpful response. thanks

Sorry which university guaranteed you full ride scholarship?
Thanks
What was your SAT score?

lyrondee:
Good...WB yours?

Thank God,
What was your score?
